Alex took great care of our two dogs! He sent daily updates and photos. Our dogs really enjoyed their time with him. He left the house clean and tidied up. Very happy with the care our dogs got while we were gone, especially our senior!

Kate was awesome!! She was very communicative with us the entire time, sending lots of updates with pictures and videos. Our dog was very well taken care of and got all the exercise and attention she needed. ?

Alex was great! She saved the day on her first day watching our dogs and house sitting. We had an out of town wedding and I forgot a small bag. She located it and arranged for our friend to pick it up and deliver it the next day. She sent pictures of our 3 dogs every day. We have 2 senior dogs and a silly, quirky 9 year old dog too. She seemed very comfortable with them and they liked her too. We never worried about the dogs or house while we were gone knowing that they were in good care. We would definitely request Alex again in the future if she’s available. 😊🦮

Allyson was responsive and always sent pictures and updates while we were away, which put my mind at ease! My dog and cat seemed very happy and calm with her care, and everything with our home was in order / clean upon our return. Would use Allyson again to watch our fur babies!

Riley was truly top notch. She stayed at our house with Rascal for a week while we were out of the country. She made sure to update us every day, and it was clear from the photos and videos that he was really comfortable with her. Not only was the house spotless, she decorated to celebrate that we got engaged while we were gone. Highly recommend, we are absolutely using her again.

About: I am recently retired from a 27 year career with adults with disabilities on a 500 acre farm. I have owned 3 dogs and 1 cat as an adult and lived with dogs throughout my childhood. I would love to come care for your pet(s) in their own home while you are away or on vacation. I prefer medium or small sized dogs and a cat or two. I am discreet, clean and responsible. If preferred, I could also just drop in for a visit of feeding, playing with or letting out for toileting. I live in Richmond and would drive up to 20 miles to provide this service. I can provide character references as well as house/dog sitting refernces. I won't let you down! I am currently retired and have flexible availability.i am.able to sleep.over at your home or make daily visits. I travel a few weeks each month but am available quite often. I can come and care for your dogs or cats in their own home. I can sleep over or come a few times in the day, whichever works well for you and your pet(s). I could also just walk your dog about 3 times a day, depending on how far you are from my Manchester neighborhood.

Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!

Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!

Tess is the absolute best! I have two young puppies (one under 4 months) and she has given me total peace of mind traveling and leaving my babies in her hands! My last trip was 13 days and she sent pictures and videos daily, along with giving my youngest pup medicine and cleaning his little ears! Also just walked into a spotless house! Thank you, Tess! Highly recommend! (Already have future stays booked) ????

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on professional experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I previously worked at a kennel-free dog boarding facility, where I helped care for multiple dogs at once in a safe, supervised environment. I’ve also worked as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, providing daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, and lots of attention and playtime. Animals have always been part of my life—I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently care for my own pets as well. Because of my background in both professional animal care and customer service, I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. What you can expect when your pet is with me: • Reliable, on-time care • Regular photo and text updates • Safe handling for dogs with different temperaments • Experience with multi-dog households • Lots of attention, enrichment, and play Whether your dog needs a walk while you’re at work, drop-in visits while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid office jobs with very flexible hours. When I do go into the office, my office is dog friendly so I can bring a furry friend along if they enjoy the socialization! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and enrichment they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just companionship. I also make sure basics like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and litter boxes are taken care of. For dog walks, I focus on safe handling, appropriate exercise for your dog’s energy level, and making sure they return home happy and settled. I always send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while keeping you informed and at ease.

Daniel is great to work with. He is responsive to inquiries and any other messages I have sent him. He takes great care of my apartment when he stays with Morty. I get pictures and a daily "report" of how things are going. I know that Morty is in good hands with Daniel and I don't have to worry when I am out of town.

Zoe was super kind and considerate when I needed a last minute pet sitter for my rescue dog who has never been away from us before. She was very professional and understanding that he needed some extra time to adjust, she was very patient with him and followed his routine perfectly! I highly recommend Zoe :)
