Maria did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet old man. She gave him lots of love and took care of his meds and dinner with zero issues! She was right on time, sent pictures every day, and always stayed the full hour. Cannot recommend her highly enough!!!

First time having Nick care for our fur babies! Nick is a great young man who clearly loves animals. He was punctual for our meet and greet as well as drop in visit to care for our pups! Would highly recommend and will definitely be calling on him for future needs!

Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, and even farm animals—and I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to seniors who need medication and gentle care. I fostered through the Richmond SPCA in college, which taught me patience, how to read different personalities, and how to help shy or nervous pets feel safe. I’ve also worked with professional trainers while raising my own dog, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic commands, routines, and positive behavior. I’m active and love taking dogs on long walks and play sessions, but I also know how to slow things down for older pets or those who prefer a calm routine. What sets me apart is that I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new, and I focus on giving both you and your pet comfort while you’re apart—lots of love, clear communication, and updates that help you feel connected every step of the way. I live at home and work remotely, so I’m able to be with your pet throughout the day. This gives me the flexibility to stick to their routine, whether that means regular potty breaks, long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company so they never feel alone. Your pet won’t be waiting hours for attention, I’m around to give them consistent care and comfort. I live in a three bedroom home with plenty of space and a secure 6-ft fenced yard, with Ring cameras surrounding the property for added safety and peace of mind. My own dog is crate trained, friendly, and well-socialized—he loves to play but is gentle and respectful enough to give visiting dogs space when they need it. I can keep pets separate if preferred, and I have two bedrooms set up as little “pet hotels” so each dog has their own quiet, comfortable space to relax, sleep, or eat without stress. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your routines closely, communicate often, and make sure every animal feels safe, understood, and treated like family.

Elijah was able to sacrifice part of his holiday weekend to check in on our cat Sebastian, and we greatly appreciate his willingness to do that. He arrived as scheduled, kept Sebastian happy and us unworried so we could enjoy our own holiday time. A win-win for all!

About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets from a young age, walking, feeding, and loving animals big and small, young and old. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, neighbors, and employers, always treating each pet as if they were my own. I follow care details meticulously, whether it’s specific feeding, crating, or walking routines. Every pet has a unique set of needs that deserves devoted attention, and I take pride in providing consistent, loving care that keeps them happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your furry friend is safe and cared for. Whether it’s an energetic pup who loves playtime or a senior pet who just wants gentle company, I’m here to make their days the best they can be! I work as an elementary teacher in the local area. On weekdays I am available after 4pm. I am available most weekends, including overnight (Friday & Saturday). I am flexible to meet your needs. I provide care for pets in their own homes or through walks, keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow each pet’s routine exactly as outlined, from feeding schedules and walking routes to medication and playtime preferences. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care as my own, ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and attended to. I spend quality time with them, give plenty of affection, and make sure they get the exercise and attention they need.
