1. Oli L.

“She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.”


2. Caitlin G.

“Caitlin was great. The dogs were happy and not stressed at all. The house was clean and straight. Everything was so nice to come home to. I will definitely request her in the future.”


3. Alexander S.

“Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend”

7. Jp B.

“JP was awesome! She was extremely communicative and laid back which was great for us. She came and met our dogs twice before staying with them which I so appreciated and was so patient with both of them. Both of our dogs have their own weird quirks and JP immediately made us feel at ease. We felt extremely comfortable while on our trip and she left the house spotless! Will definitely be rebooking her.”


8. Kim S.


“Kim watched our two puggles, Penny and Wilson, at our home recently. She visited us in advance to meet the dogs (and us), and we could tell immediately how much she loved pets (and how much they love her!). We are new to Richmond, and not only did Kim discuss Penny and Wilson's needs, she also told us about some great restaurants to try in the area! She's a friendly, reliable person, and you can trust her to take great care of your dogs. We plan to use her again soon. ”


9. Lynne F.

“Lynne was a great house sitter and did an excellent job taking care of our fur baby. She shared photos every day and even left a sweet message to welcome us home. It was comforting knowing our geriatric lab had company, especially in the evening, while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Lynne and look forward to rebooking with her in the future!”

“Whitney was a wonderful house and dog sitter, she stayed at our home with our dog for a couple days and endured the Richmond water outage with an incredibly positive attitude the whole time.

17. Andrew C. T.


“Andrew was everything we want in a dog sitter. Kind, thoughtful, conscientious and funny. Our Oona can be a stubborn hound and we really appreciate him working with her quirks. He was flexible in meeting up with us to ensure we were comfortable leaving her, and he left the house better than he found it! A++”

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a mom who worked in the Richmond Animal Shelter & a house full of adopted animals. From my sisters spoiled Pibble baby to my neighbors sweet little Yorkie, I’ve been their go to sitter/walker to watch their babies because they know I’ll love on them like my own fur babies 💕 I love to do Meet & Greets prior to your baby’s walk/drop-in if feasible. Coko & I are available Saturdays & Sundays for Meet & Greets! I am a mom of 3 & we have a Shih-poo named Coko. My babies have all grown up around family dogs and understand to be gentle with fur babies. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly so I’m sure we’ll meet a friend or two on ours walks.
