“Hillary and her husband are wonderful and trustworthy. They watched my pit bull for a week while I was on vacation across the country and we had no issues. I got pictures and updates everyday and my dog was relaxed in their home. They are great caretakers. Highly recommend and would book again.”

About: It's pretty simple - I love dogs and I work from home. Having recently said goodbye to my own best boy, Gary (a squishy English bulldog mix), I can guarantee that I'll get as much happiness out of seeing your dog as your dog will hopefully get from seeing me! I understand how important it is to know your pet is comfortable in your absence. I will treat yours as my own and send you as many updates as you'd like! Some key skills that may come in handy: - Walking dogs with leash reactivity - Experience with senior pets and those with medical needs - Administering medications, injections, paw wraps, etc. I'm currently working from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and love on your pups! I'm available for boarding all day, every day and would be happy to have a four-legged coworker around :) I have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby safe while exploring and getting lots of sniffs! We also keep a clean and tidy home to ensure your pet is always safe. Of course, there may be times when I need to step out (I'm human after all!), but will be happy to abide by any requests you have. Things like bowls, leashes, light up collars, pet gates, and a crate can be made available.

“Amelia was wonderful! She was able to accommodate a short notice booking and took great care of my baby, Coconut! Communication was easy, and I felt comfortable knowing Coconut was in good hands.”

“Emily was a great sitter for my fur baby! She was very thorough, from the initial booking to picking up my dog. I received updates and pictures daily. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Jeff was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it definitely was clear that zeph had a great time! Jeff was very communicative and spent plenty of time to get to know both me and Zeph on a meet and greet prior to our stay. He sent plenty of pictures and updates and catered to zephyrs routine which I'm so beyond grateful for! Zeph will absolutely be visiting his now Uncle Jeff again soon! Thank you so much for being so great with Zephyr!!!”

“Amy has watched both of my pups numerous times. She has always done a great job taking care of them and sending pictures throughout the day so we know they’re enjoying themselves. Recently, we had to make the difficult decision to put our oldest dog to sleep before we had a scheduled booking with her. She was incredibly understanding and immediately ensured we received a full refund. The first time we took our other pup to stay with her after losing her older brother, Amy went above and beyond taking care of her for us. When we decided to pick her up a day early because we were missing her, Amy was thoughtful enough to refund us for the day even though we had no intention of asking for a refund. I would 100% recommend Amy if you want a quality, trustworthy sitter for your dogs.”

“I am thrilled to give Sheri a 5-star review for taking care of my pet, Happy, during boarding! Sheri went above and beyond to ensure Happy's comfort and happiness. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates she sent, complete with photos, to keep me informed and at ease. Her dedication, attention to detail, and love for animals truly shine through. I am so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Sheri, for taking such wonderful care of Happy! I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch pet care.”

“Kristine was fantastic! Reliable and great communication. Loved the photo updates. Cats are very relaxed and happy. Would not hesitate to book again!”

Jane P.

“Was such a great host of my cat pumpkin. Sent timely updates and made sure to get the cutest pictures of her back to me during her stay! Definitely hope to book her again in the future.”

Layla S.

“Paula was a wonderful caregiver for our Dolly! She gave her lots and lots of love, communicated often, and paid careful attention to her to make sure she was adjusting to our absence. We felt totally comfortable during our long vacation and will definitely be booking with her again!”

Danessa K.

“Joy and her husband were terrific! Joy posted daily pictures showcasing Kota having fun with Yuki, their dog and other furry animals. When we picked Kota up, she was both happy and healthy! Joy was very accommodating to our needed flexibility in drop off and pick up times. One thing I would recommend is more of a written update about Kota's day that went along with all the wonderful pictures to paint an overall summary of her day. I would definitely become a repeat customer as they made Kota feel as if she were in the family! Thanks so much Joy!!”

Jessica W.

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.

“Amber was a great pick. Rook want out for regular walks and was comfortable with her and her beagle from the start. Will definitely consider her again!”

“Becky was nice and she sent me pics and updated me the entire time. They were active with my baby and she was worn out when she got home which was a plus...lol. I would def use her again!”

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!
