“Sarah was amazing! I especially loved the videos she shared. It really made us feel so much better being able to see them! Sarah gave our babies love and cuddles, was very good with communication, and really is a wonderful pet sitter. Highly recommend and will book again when needed. 💕”

“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”

Celine D.

“Shane was great with Church! He was reliable, communicative, and took great care of him during his walks. Church seemed comfortable with him, which is always important to me. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Church was in good hands. I would definitely book Shane again and recommend him to other pet parents! 🐾”

About: I have two amazing dogs, Milo and Winter, that play constantly! They are best of friends and always welcome new friends. Milo is an 8 month old puppy still learning house training and making amazing progress. I found him at a rescue in Philly when I was visiting March 2026- love at first site! He clicked so well with my German Shepherd mix Winter, that I rescued in June 2025. Prior to falling in love with these two rescues, I helped foster several dogs through a local rescue- while healing from the loss of my dog of 13 years, Bella. She was a one dog household kind of girl, but Winter was just the opposite. I could tell she needed a friend, and Milo came into our lives at just the right time. I so look forward to helping care for your fur babies and will give them all the walks, plays, and cuddles they might need. I’ll ensure all your care is personalized to your dog’s specific needs. Also, would love to send you pic updates while you’re at work or adventuring! If your dog is in my care for doggy daycare, I will be home with them, unless otherwise discussed with you. If I’m hired to come walk your dog, I’ll give you a detailed update of our walk! I am home and available 7 days a week, unless I’m traveling. My dogs get lots of attention and walks. We love the James River Park system 🫶 I will ask for lots of detail about your pets specific needs so I can curate their care so they feel right at home! A home away from home.

About: With 17 years of experience in veterinary medicine and professional pet care, I bring a unique combination of medical knowledge, animal-handling experience, and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. My experience caring for animals has taken me across the country and overseas, giving me the opportunity to work with many animals, pets, and families. I spent 10 years working in emergency veterinary medicine, so I am comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's condition, obtaining vital signs, and knowing when symptoms require veterinary attention and how soon. I am also experienced and comfortable administering medications of all types, insulin injections, and fluids under the skin, as well as caring for pets with medical or special needs. While I am not a professional pet trainer, I am comfortable working with a wide variety of behaviors and behavioral-training approaches and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and meeting each animal where they are. I know that when pet parents are away, their pets often need a little extra TLC, reassurance, and one-on-one attention. I make every effort to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible—from meals and medications to walks, playtime, rest, and plenty of companionship. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Most importantly, I believe in open and honest communication. I strive to address questions and concerns before booking whenever possible, so you can feel confident, comfortable, and at ease knowing your pet is in capable hands. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little extra attention, routine medication, or simply someone to make them feel less lonely while you're away, I would love the opportunity to care for them. ❤️ I am able to accommodate Thursday afternoons - Monday morning bookings. I work full-time as an administrator at a local veterinary hospital and am fortunate to make my own schedule. Prior to booking, I ensure the pet parent and I are aligned with the sitting/walking schedule. Before walking your pet, I will inspect leashes, collars, and harnesses fit appropriately and are safe. I will also be sure to know your pet’s friendliness, anxieties, and reactivities to strangers and other animals. At your home, I will follow your pet’s routines to the best of my ability and your instructions completely. In the case of emergency, I can perform CPR and first aid.

About: I have experience for being responsible for animals my whole life. I have 15 pets of my own and love the responsibility. I enjoying interacting with animals and giving them my full attention. Weekly I care for my own pets and would love to care for yours as well. There isn’t anything I’m not willing to do in caring for your pet. Right now I’m off from work in the summers and have a lot of time on my hands. I will follow detailed instructions on how to handle your animals and what you want to be done. I will always put their safety first and will keep that in mind at all times.

About: I’ve been a pet parent for years, so I totally get it—leaving your fur baby behind is tough! I’ve spent plenty of time caring for the pets of family and friends, so I’m a pro at helping a nervous pup or kitty feel right at home. I’m a big fan of getting outside, so if your dog has energy to burn, we’ll hit the local trails to make sure they’re tuckered out and ready for a long nap. I also have hands-on experience with diabetic pups and am fully comfortable administering insulin injections, so your senior or special, needs friends, are in safe hands with me! Currently working part time, so I have a flexible schedule during weekdays and weekends. I am looking to ger outside more so I look forward to the pup walks. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of grass and shade trees, perfect for afternoon sniffing and exploring! Plus, I have two dog-friendly cats who are totally unfazed by pups, making this a great spot for socialized dogs to hang out and relax.

About: With three years of experience in animal welfare, I’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of dogs and kitties and getting to know the wonderful families who love them. My passion for animal care has only grown, and I’m always looking for new ways to continue doing what I love most: helping pets feel happy, safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra attention while you’re away, or simply a little companionship during the day, I’m here to provide the personalized care, patience, and love they deserve. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family member gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, cuddles, and tail-wagging adventures! 🐕✨ Because happy pets = happy families! 🐾 I’m daily caring for my five at home cats as well as my two resident dogs. My availability is currently very open so I'm looking for ways to continue helping families and their pets! Whatever that may be. I love shedules and appreciate them myself when I am leaving my pets with sitters. Your needs are my top priorities. I have a lot of experience with medication administration, behavioral concerns, and training needs. I want to make sure the pets and people are totally comfortable.

About: Hi! I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule to accommodate your busy life. I offer reliable and trustworthy pet care services, ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so you can count on plenty of patience and special attention for your fur babies. Whether through regular walks, playtime, or feeding routines, I provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I especially love going on walks and spending time outdoors. From pet owners, I prioritize clear communication in order to meet expectations, maintain consistency, and bring peace of mind. My routine is centered around my class schedule. I am free to prioritize sitting on the majority of weekends, so that’s my main source of availability. On weekdays, I’m generally open early mornings and evenings after 5:30. Quick visits throughout the day may be possible, depending on the location, so just reach out with the details and we can coordinate. As a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience, I ensure your four-legged friend remains happy and healthy. I pay close attention to body language to know when it’s playtime or if space is needed. I always respect boundaries, though I am also adept at implementing discipline at the owner’s discretion if necessary. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality as well as their favorite toys or games is the best part of the experience for me. Look forward to receiving photo and video updates of your babies while under my care. My method of sitting revolves around specific instructions from the owner regarding their pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements.

About: Hello! I am a SAHM and have spent my life loving on animals, always having pets in the home and taking care of neighbor dogs. We currently have 3 wonderful rescue doggies ranging in size from 11-100lbs that I love with all my heart and would love to spread some of the care to your sweet pet. As a stay a home mom, I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule and can usually make something work for your family! Due to my little one’s schedule, I am not usually available for visits past 7:30pm, unless doing home stay. I think it is so important to make your pet feel comfortable with me and the environment. I will always take their lead for what they need whether it be space to process a new person, or lots of cuddles and play.

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or sticking to a detailed care schedule, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m currently working fully remote, and I choose my own hours, so I’m available anytime of day. I’m willing to work with you and your pet’s needs to ensure your furry friend remains on their consistent routines. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and stick to their normal routine. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise and playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also administer medications if needed, reinforce any routines you’ve established, and keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet. After every visit, I’ll send you updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs my whole life, and 6 years ago my husband and I adopted a large rescue dog from Eastern Europe. She’s had a lot of anxiety and nervousness, but with lots of love, training, and patience she’s come a long way and fully trusts us now. I work remotely which means I have more time to devote to pet care and allows me some flexibility with my hours. I'm very patient and attune to animals needs and have experience around many breeds, needs and sizes. The happiness and safety of your pet is my biggest concern. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, and I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Being at home allows me a lot of flexibility to take your dog on walks, play in the house with toys, and bond. My husband and I love hiking and being outdoors and often go on long walks with our own dog. The safety and care of your pet is my biggest concern as I all too well know the feeling of leaving your beloved pet with someone else. Your dog will always be on a leash in my care and I don’t take any risks when it comes to caring for your pet.

About: I have lived in a golden retriever family my entire life, and dog-obsessed honestly does not do me justice! I know the Richmond area well and love taking dogs to new locations, like dog parks or the river. Since I am an athletic individual I can offer rigorous exercise for even large active dog breeds. I am very trustworthy and responsible, I schedule my time wisely and am always on time for scheduled appointments. I do work full-time, but am often available on evenings and weekends. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your dog! I work full time, so I am usually busy during the day. However, I am often free on evenings and weekends and love walks and drop in visits. I do not bring dogs to my own home, because I have older goldens at home. But I love to come spend time where your dog is comfy!

“Red was a happy boy when we got home! It was a big relief to be able to leave for a long day and know he’d be able to get out for a walk and go to the bathroom while we were gone.”
