“Sarah has house sit/dog sit for us twice now and is absolutely amazing! She keeps us updated, sends pics, and makes sure the house is just as clean as we left it! Plus our fur babies loooovvveee her! We highly recommend hiring her! Thanks again Sarah!!!!”

“Daniel is great. He is prompt, and conscientious of others property and animals. He asked good questions at the meet and greet. He stayed with Morty for 3 nights at my apartment and both the apartment and Morty were in great shape when I returned. Daniel sent pictures and messages about how Morty was doing. He also let me know when Morty went counter surfing and got some of his treats. I appreciate Daniel's communication and thoroughness. I will most definitely use Daniel again, in fact he's staying with Morty again this weekend!”
“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!”

About: I was raised in a family of animal lovers and helped to care for at least one family pup at all times. From my grandma's cat filled house to my own dogs, I have always been surrounded by a variety of furry friends so I'm very comfortable and experienced with caring for them. I began pet-sitting for neighbors as soon as I got into high school, and I'm very excited to meet some new furry friends! As a second year student at the University of Virginia home on winter break from classes, I've got a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care! I have a completely free schedule, which means I can provide consistent and attentive care for your furry friends, ensuring they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention while you're away! Since I live in an apartment that doesn't allow animals, I don't offer in-home pet care services. Instead, I provide dedicated pet care at your convenience! I will make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy during our time together. I also maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs, ensuring your furry friend receives the best care possible in a familiar environment. Your pet's well-being is my top priority!
“Lindy was amazing! They gave us great updates every day on how Laika was doing, and what they were up to everyday. And lots of adorable pictures in which it was clear Laika was having a great time with them. Highly recommend!”

“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”


About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me how important patience, consistency, and affection are when it comes to quality pet care. When I was younger, I even helped train my childhood dog, which taught me responsibility, positive reinforcement, and how to understand animal behavior from an early age. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. As a teacher, I’m dependable, attentive, and patient, and I truly enjoy spending time outdoors going on walks and staying active with pets. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to dedicate extra time and attention to walks, drop-ins, playtime, and maintaining pets’ routines. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I genuinely enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals. I love being able to use my summer break doing something rewarding while giving pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities as a pet sitter and walker. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and close attention to their individual needs and routines. I always prioritize safe walks, secure environments, and clear communication with owners so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive, which helps me build trust quickly with both pets and their owners. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Brittney was amazing! Took great care of both the doggies and showed them so much love. She was very attentive and would send updates frequently. Will definitely be booking with her again!”


About: I've always taken care of my dogs growing up. My dog right now requires a very in depth feeding and medication regimen. She is 13 years old and has a special diet with a very timed out schedule for her medications. I also have experience with young dogs/puppies. I have lots of experience with older cats and a little with kittens, but not a ton. I work in food service during the day, so I have tons of time in the afternoon/evening and night to care for your pets! I can also move my schedule around if needed I've had dogs throughout all my life that have had vastly different temperaments, so I know how to care for animals of all kinds.

About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, including my own ball python. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd who can be very anxious, so I’m used to being patient with nervous pets and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve pet sat for animals of all different temperaments, including a cat with a more aggressive personality, so I understand the importance of respecting each animal’s boundaries and adapting to their individual needs. I love spending time outdoors and taking walks, and I know the Richmond area well. With two years of professional housekeeping experience, I’m comfortable caring for both pets and homes with the same level of respect and attention to detail I’d want for my own. My goal is to provide dependable care for both your pet and your home, while making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I work about 20 hours a week as an esthetician and make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Because I set my own hours, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I would love to fit pet care into my routine. I believe every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping up with their feeding schedule and any specific instructions you provide. For cats staying in my home, I’ll provide a calm, safe environment where they can settle in at their own pace. Having lived with multiple cats of various personalities, I understand that some cats are social while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to accommodate both! I will stay in regular communication, providing updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing!
“Over the moon with Ellie! She took great care of our two boys whilst we were gone easing so much anxiety. Ellie is responsive, professional, cared so well for the doggies, and went above and beyond!”

“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”

“Alex is a slam dunk. Animals were healthy, safe, and happy when we returned. Received regular, daily updates during the week. House was spotless. Definitely a re-book. Thank you so much, Alex!”
