About: I have had all sorts of animals throughout my life. I’ve never worked with dogs professionally but I’ve had multiple family dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Pit bulls and I loved and cared for all of them. I currently have 2 Pit bulls that are loved and happy. I also often help pet sit in the neighborhood. During the school year I will be in class from 8 to 3 but after that I have plenty of time to walk and/or care for your pet. I have no other priorities so taking care of your fur baby will be my main focus. I am typically well liked by dogs and I am patient with dogs that are still in training so if needed I can go at your dogs pace making them more comfortable.

About: Hello! I hope to have the privilege of taking care of your babies. I have 2 cats and one of them is special needs, i'm surrounded by fur babies all of the time! I have experience caring for both elderly and special needs animals. Please check my calendar for my up to date availability. If you should have any questions, please message me anytime. I would be happy to address any of your concerns. It is my whole hearted hope that you will trust me to watch important members of your family! My availability for pet care is open as I am completely self employed. Taking care of someone else’s babies is a full time job! My house-sitting rate reflects 12 hour care (7PM-7AM), if you need 24 hour care please include that in your intro message and I will adjust the rates. I take safety and trust very seriously. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets are treated with patience, respect, and genuine care. I’m attentive to routines, boundaries, and individual needs, and I believe animals feel safest when they’re understood, not rushed. My goal is always to provide a clean, secure, low-stress space where pets can relax and owners can feel confident knowing their animals are truly cared for.

About: Hello pet Moms and Dads! I have been pet/house sitting and walking dogs in Richmond since 2022 and I honestly love doing it. Not only do I love all creatures great and small but they also offer me a kind of therapy I don’t find anywhere else! I am not the type of person that will just sit around with your pet at home, I LIKE to be outside and I will take your dog on adventures. I want to adventure too! I love exploring new neighborhoods and seeing how other people live! Bonus if you live near the river. If that’s not your pets thing, we can just stay at home and chill. From my experience I’ve found that doing in home overnights work out best for everyone. Pet gets to be in an environment they know and feel safe in. I also love plants so if you need someone to take care of those too I’m down! Big green thumb and love to garden as well. I treat your pet and homes like I would my own and you will always come home to a happy spoiled pet and clean house! When it comes to cats, let’s just say I’m a cat whisperer. Cat empath. The spiciest/scardiest of them all will eventually come out of their hiding places, just watch! I do drop ins and daily walks as well. You won’t regret trusting me with your babies. I’m always looking for new experiences as well if you need someone to look over a farm or have other pets like birds or reptiles! I love them ALL. I currently dog walk and cat/house sit and I’m always looking for extra work. Obsessed with animals! I can’t wait to take care of your babies! I treat your animals like I would my own. All creatures great and small are my friends and I enjoy this kind of work more then anything. Trustworthy and reliable. Your pets will be happy with me! I offer above and beyond pet care 100% of the time. I can also offer references, I have plenty!

“Thank you our Emma was happy to see us come home. Glad she was taken care of.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and typically they seem to love me too. I had a golden retriever growing up in Liberia that I loved and took care of before coming here. I’ve always watched my friends pets for them. Sometimes I even take them to the vet when they can’t. I have a dog and cat of my own that are absolutely spoiled rotten and the sweetest things alive. I currently work full time during the week. However I’m available for evening pet care after work and weekends. Sundays and Mondays are my full days off and I am available all day during those days for whatever your pet needs. I currently have a dog at home that generally goes out every two to three hours. We live in a neighborhood with huge fields. If they are leash trained, generally they can roam free along with my dog.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years, helping walk, feed, play, and give treats to dogs and cats for my neighbors, family and friends! I love both dogs and cats, and can’t wait to help care for your animals as if they were my own! I can work 7 days a week, mornings, afternoons and evenings, as needed! For more info, please don’t hesitate to message or call me! Thank you! I make sure to provide a clean, comfortable, and loving home/environment for my fur babies, providing many treats and toys for them to play with! While always making sure to listen and be there for any of their needs!

About: I grew up with three dogs and two cats, so I come from a very pet friendly background! I have cared for dogs personally and professionally too. Experiences in walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and building trust with new animals. I am I remote worker, so I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule. I would love to include caring for pets in my weekly routine! I can easily crate your dogs, if needed to keep them safe and comfortable. I’d also love to schedule a meet and greets to build trust with both owner and pet before beginning services.

About: I can’t recall a time in my life without pets. There was always at least one fluffy cat in the family, and I’ve spent at least a dozen years caring for dogs as well. I firmly believe that all animals have so much love to give and adventure to bring. I currently have a lot of weekday availability in my schedule. In the mornings, I go on walks anyways and can visit. The same goes for afternoons for the most part. In my client’s home, I will be cautious to keep doors and gates securely locked when letting an animal friend(s) outside and back in. I am sure to follow all given instructions to the T to ensure the safety and comfort of the animal friend(s).

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from puppies to senior dogs and even very large breeds. I worked at Dulles Pet Hotel & Daycare, where I provided attentive care, maintained clean and safe environments, administered medications, and monitored the health and behavior of all pets in my care. Beyond professional experience, I have been dog-sitting for multiple families throughout high school and continue to do so while in college, providing everything from walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and administering medications. I love pet sitting because I strive to give the best care, I provide the type of pet care I would want my puppy to have. (and I love my dog with my whole heart, she’s my baby)I also have my own dog, which has given me daily hands-on experience with training, care, and attention. I also love love love big dogs, I used to have a Mastiff growing up which made me fall in love with dogs! In addition to my pet care skills, I worked as a sales associate at Good Dog Rocky, where I built strong relationships and developed trustworthiness and reliability—qualities I bring to caring for every pet. I will take care of your dog like it’s my own, and you can expect nothing short of the best care from me, ensuring your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I’m currently a college student at VCU studying Economics and Statistics. My class schedule is fairly light, which gives me plenty of flexible time to walk, play with, and care for a furry friend throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on your dog’s needs. I currently live on campus in a dorm room, but back at home, we take excellent care of our puppy! She has a spacious playpen where she can run, play, sleep, and do whatever her heart desires. I bring the same love, attention, and care to every dog I look after in their home!

About: I’ve been a cat mama since our family cat chose me as his favorite nap spot the day I came home from the hospital! I raised my next bestie from the day she was born until she crossed the rainbow bridge, and I’ve loved my Fiona for nearly 14 years. I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication, accommodating quirky needs, and navigating sassy attitudes! I also grew up with a family dog and helped care for him while living at home and during college breaks. That included feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I bring patience and attention to each pet’s personality and routine, and I’m happy to learn all the little details that help yours feel comfortable and loved. I currently work freelance and have a very flexible schedule so my days are built around what bookings I have in a given week. Let me know what your needs are and we can work something out 🙂 Each visit comes will include a food, water and liter refresh plus treats, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I have plenty of experience with cats of all temperaments and will adjust care according to your instruction.

“Phyllis was very attentive to my animals. They loved her. She sent pictures of them while I was away and she provided a daily summary of how they were doing daily. I would absolutely use her again.”

About: I am a dedicated pet sitter with extensive experience caring for all types of pets, including puppies and senior animals. I am skilled in administering medications and training basics to puppies. I offer dog walking and customized care with compassionate attention to each pet’s unique needs. I communicate clearly and provide regular updates with photos to give owners peace of mind. My priority is safety, reliability, and positive reinforcement to ensure a happy and healthy experience for your pet. I am a morning person and can tend to your fur babies while working and accommodating to your schedule. I am available Monday - Friday morning. I am not able to take home large pets, however we can definitely speak about housing options for the smaller pets! Mi casa es su casa ( in dog ).

About: I've grown up with pets and was practically raised with my parent's first child, our dog Rascal. I adopt senior and special needs dogs and love giving them a safe haven in their later years. I love to walk my own dog, Wilbur and would treat your pet like my own. I'm currently available on weekends and work from home on Friday so I have the flexiblity to provide daytime potty breaks if needed. I have reliable transportation and am eager to provide care for your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard, and a dog and cat who would welcome meeting new friends. I also have room to create your pet if needed.

About: I have cared for dogs starting in middle school, for a variety of neighbors, friends, and family members. I really enjoy spending my time with dogs, whether that be walking, playing, or just relaxing together. I currently am participating in a program with America's Vet Dogs, where future service dogs are trained by inmates at local prisons, and individuals/families sign up to take 1 dog every weekend for a year, to provide the experiences out in the world that these pups need to become amazing service dogs! This is my second year my mother and I have been a part of this program, and I have learned so much about dog training that I never knew before! I feel confident that this experience with training and taking care of a dog that isn't mine has made me a qualified pet sitter. I am currently in grad school, so I have free time during the day to walk or drop in on pets! I can be quite flexible with my availability and schedule because of the nature of my grad program. In your home, I will ensure that your pet is safe and cared for always. Whatever your home situation, I can easily accommodate to your dogs and cats the best care, making sure that they feel loved and are having fun! I love to get outdoors, and can easily handle active dogs with lots of walks and playing!

About: I have 10+ years of pet care experience. I currently have 3 large dogs back at home and I’m familiar with all sizes of dogs. From fostering puppies and caring for senior dogs, I am also comfortable with dogs of every age. I’m currently a college student at VCU. I have classes on weekdays that range depending on the day, so message me for times. However, I am free on weekends! I value communication with clients. I like to meet clients face to face or meet the dogs and go over their routine. I’m reliable and trustworthy when it comes to walking and watching dogs. I’m familiar with walking dogs, crating dogs, and teaching them a few tricks!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have handled dogs as small as Pomeranians and as big as full grown pit bulls. I also have experience in caring for pups as young as 8 weeks and as old as 13 years. I currently work 9-5 until end of summer and spend the rest of my day with the pups. I go to the dog park almost daily. I wake up at 6/7am to feed the dogs let them out and have time with them before work. When I get back they eat dinner, go on a walk, and finish at a dog park before going home to relax. I have a privacy fenced in yard, lots of treats, two fur babies of my own who love to meet new friends and will keep your babies company. I allow dogs to be in the couch to enjoy comfort and snuggles if wanted. I also own a large crate for any pup to use if they need a space away to themselves.

“Briana is a beautiful human being. Additionally, my pups fell in love with her. Bri sent a selfie of herself with my Maltese sharing the biggest smile! She was concerned about my Yorkie and waited with her until my husband could get there. I will definitely trust Bri with my babies again!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more. Now that I have moved to Richmond, I'm missing my animals back home. I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends' pets throughout high school. My dog back home has allergy issues that required medication everyday, so I have experienced in giving oral medication. I am currently an afternoon nanny for two girls and part time volleyball coach, so I will have plenty of time to be around for furry friends. I always give much love to the pets I care for. I understand that all pets are different and make sure to cater to their schedule.

About: When I was younger I would naturally gravitate towards animals, if I was at someone’s house you’d find me hanging out with the dog or cat. Because of this I’ve always been trusted to care for them and have gained experience from a young age with many different pets with ranging needs and personalities. I personally have a three year old cat named Linus, he is extremely loving, playful, and screams at me every morning for breakfast. I often care for different pets and really enjoy giving them the attention they deserve. I’m currently doing online classes and have a very flexible schedule with my part-time job. I am open to working with anyone’s schedule and can do overnights any night. I will care for your pet as I would mine, with all precautions and care taken to ensure the safety of your pet or pets. I appreciate detailed instructions and if I’m unsure of anything I will ask.
