3. Grayson D.
About: I love hanging out with cats and dogs! I have experience with reactive cats and dogs, so I know exactly how to handle that. I used to work at a doggy day care and also was a professional dog walker in NYC while I went back to school. I am work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I create most of my own hours, so I can ensure your cat gets the love and attention they need. I will not be taking care of cats or dogs in my home, but will ensure If I am pet sitting that I treat their home with respect. I will make sure all litter boxes or any accidents are cleaned up right away.

12. Bridgette M.
“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”

“Chloe was a life saver! My fiancé and I came to Richmond to do engagement photos and we wanted our dog to be part of the fun.
