“Matt was a wonderful host! Charlie has a blast during his stay and we enjoyed seeing all of the daily updates and photos of the fun he was having. He came home happy and tired! :-)”


“This was the first time we have ever used a sitter for Dough. I was hesitant at first but Jay definitely helped cap my insecurities. The communication was top tier! The random pictures eased my mind. When we picked him up he didn't want to leave lol. He tried to go back to the door. Needless to say, we will be back! Thanks so much for hosting Dough! We appreciate you!”

“From start to finish, Michaela did a wonderful job watching our little dog Coco! She always responded in a timely manner and kept in touch with us, sending pictures and updates daily. We’re so grateful that Coco was loved and taken well care during our trip abroad. We would highly recommend Michaela if you should need a loving and caring pet sitter!!🥰🐾”

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m your dog’s new favorite human! I’m a reliable, attentive, and animal-loving sitter who treats every pup like my own. Whether your dog is full of energy and loves long walks, or prefers cozy naps and gentle company, I tailor my care to fit their personality and routine. I hold a Master’s degree in Animal Science with a focus on canine and feline care, and I have hands-on experience in dog shows and dog sports. This means I’m comfortable working with everything from high-energy, well-trained performance dogs to everyday companions who just want love and consistency. I also have experience with both basic pet grooming and show dog grooming, so I pay close attention to coat care, cleanliness, and overall presentation. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable administering basic medications, sticking to feeding schedules, and maintaining routines. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Safety, trust, and lots of tail wags are my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶💛 Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize the needs of the pets in my care, including regular walks, feeding times, play, and enrichment. Because of my background in animal science and experience with dog sports and shows, I’m very used to maintaining structured routines and adapting to each dog’s individual needs—whether that’s high-energy exercise, training reinforcement, or a calm, predictable environment. I’m flexible throughout the week and make sure I have the availability to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any household preferences—while keeping the environment clean, secure, and respectful. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards to ensure pets stay safe at all times. In my home, I provide a structured, low-stress environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and rest. Dogs are never left unattended in unsafe situations, and I carefully manage introductions and interactions if other dogs are present. Cleanliness, secure spaces, and routine are always maintained. With my background in animal science, dog sports, and grooming, I’m very attentive to behavior, body language, and overall wellbeing, allowing me to respond quickly to each pet’s needs and keep them comfortable, safe, and happy.
About: I am new to Richmond and looking to explore with my pup, Rubens. He has a lot of energy and loves to play with other dogs. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. Would love for my dog to have a play mate during the day. Using Rover to keep a routine and explore Richmond while I look for a full time position. I am currently new to Richmond and in between jobs. I walk my dog anywhere from 5-12x a day from 15-75 minutes (depending on weather, need to get out of the house, etc.). My job right now is to enjoy the outdoors with my dog and yours! Rubens and I welcome all other dogs as family! I live in a first floor apt with a small fenced backyard (only for small dogs). There is a hallway that runs from the front door to the back yard area, which is where Rubens likes to do zoomies or be a watch guard dog for the doors. As far as behaviors, Rubens is allowed on my furniture and has a small basket of toys that he shares. Treats are only during training and water is down at all times. We are pretty flexible, but can also set rules per your request to stay on your schedule/routine.
“Ethel was so accommodating with our last minute request to book. She was flexible and timele responded to any messages. Highly recommend and would definitely re-book!”

“Ramiza was absolutely amazing!! She watched over our dog on very short notice when we went out of the country for almost two weeks. She sent lots of pictures and updates multiple times a day just like we wanted and even helped our dog with socializing. All around a great experience and wonderful person! We will definitely have her watch our dog again in the future!”

“Nadia took great care of my 11-year-old dog Nike. She sent pictures every day of her activity and my dog seems so happy to be among other dogs, which was surprising to me. I would definitely use her again. Nike was in good hands the entire time.”

About: As the owner of high energy pets, I am an expert at walks and enrichment. I love animals and am often the first person my friends and family ask to watch their pets when they go out of town. I have a flexible schedule and can be available to care for your pets! On weekends, I am available for petting sitting or long walkies. I have a fenced yard and a neighborhood that is good for walks. I have two pets of my own, a service dog dropout and a cat that likes dogs more than people. I am also willing to drive to your home to care for your pets.

“Pepper enjoys returning to Cyndi’s home! Dog friendly, accommodating, lovely back yard and walking spaces. Squirrels to watch, too. She is very attentive and lets him out for early morning potty needs.”

“Shannon is personable and professional. She followed our instructions, gave us updates with photos. And most importantly returned a happy, healthy pup when we got back from our trip. We will be back.”

“Talen is the best, very patient my Cane Corso is very timid and anxious and Talen knew just what to do. You can tell she loves dogs. I will be booking her again, I almost didn't want to write this because I don't want her to get too many customers and we can't user her again. Lol”

This is our first time having Alexandria watch our dogs. My older dog can't see or hear much anymore and I get a little over whelmed at the thought of someone else watching my dogs. She was fantastic I got photos and updates and my dogs looked very comfortable with her. I will absolutely use Alexandria again.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fort Lee home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Fort Lee.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
