“Kate was fabulous with my dog and my roommate's dog from the very beginning! My girl is usually loud and unfriendly with strangers but warmed up to Kate almost immediately. Everything about the experience was wonderful and I'd absolutely recommend Kate.”

“Kaylee was excellent :) Awesome, proactive, and clear communication. I knew my anxious old girl Lacey was in good hands, and she had a great outing while I was away all day on a trip. Lacey has happy when I returned. I would absolutely hire Kaylee again in a heartbeat!”


“Laura is very responsible, super helpful, and does her job perfectly. My furry friend loves her and is super happy every time he sees her. I recommend her and will continue to use her services.”


About: I have always connected with animals! I've taken care of a variety of different pets: small to large dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I helped train my mom's standard poodle and frequently take him for walks. I regularly take care of a black lab that struggles with anxiety and have gained her trust! I also regularly have taken care of a friend's cat. I've been told by pet parents that I have a very calming energy, and it makes not only the animals trust me but also the pet parents! While I’m looking for full-time employment, I have lots of free time and am very flexible! Just let me know what your needs are and I’m happy to help! I live in an apartment building that is very pet-friendly. There is a fenced-in yard for potty breaks, and the neighborhood is also very walkable.

About: I grew up feeding both my mastiff mix Lilly and cat Kitty and walking Lilly daily. In college, I took care of a husky-mix, walking and feeding him daily. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am available for walks and feedings and can come check on your pet any time. I have experience with crate-training and know and will always strive to respect your personal house rules. I understand each and every pet parent has their own special relationship with their pets and I want to honor that as best as I can.


“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”


“Kristen did a great job walking Bo this weekend. She communicated every time and even let me add on an extra day. We would definitely use her again!”


About: I have taken care of dogs from every breed and size for the past 5 years. I am an experienced, professional dog walker and sitter. I have plenty of experience with dogs with different personalities. I currently work part-time on Monday through Wednesday evenings, so I am available on Monday - Wednesday evenings as well as Thursdays - Sundays all day. I care for the pets in my/my client's home with diligence, respect, and compassion. I speak with the owner in advance to talk to them about their needs and expectations, make sure my house is clean and prepared for the dog's visit, then I diligently look after the dog and send updates to the owner.

“Erin (Arin) is beyond amazing with our puppy! She is so sweet and so accommodating and our pup absolutely loves her. She has a natural love for animals and it’s clear our puppy feels the same way back. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl so we can rest assured she is in good hands while at work.”


“Thank you, Caitlyn!!! We appreciate you so much!”


“Elizabeth is amazing with sunny, our Pomeranian. She gets him up and out of bed for his morning walk, and he can be grumpy to get up in the mornings. He likes her and doesn't bark as much as when other people come through the door. She's attentive to detail and so helpful. I fractured my ankle and she's helped sunny get in the morning walks he needs. Thank you so much!”


“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.”


“Tess was very quick to jump onboard with my dog. She treated her like a true queen and ensured communication was clear. Thank you so much Tess :)”


About: Hi, my name's Joy and I recently moved to Richmond and look forward to getting to know the area through dogsitting! I have experience administering medications (especially to dogs that have a hard time with this), and crate and basic training, I work part-time from home with a flexible schedule, so I am very available for bookings during the week and weekends. I walk 5 miles a day on my own, but it's better with a dog, so I look forward to exercising your pup as much as they need! Pets are welcome on furniture and are permitted in all areas of my pet-proofed home. I am close to several parks with shaded walking paths and can walk pups around my neighborhood.

About: I grew up around all sorts of different dogs, and I love to play with them. Whether it's a walk, a brushing, or just want me to hang out with them, I'm the girl for you! I will say that I am quite small myself so if your dog is 70+ lbs and/or strong then you may be better finding a different sitter 😅 I am not very strong haha I'm currently between jobs so this allows me to be free basically whenever you need me to be! Plus, this allows me to better create a schedule around your needs :) I will do whatever is needed of me. If you need me for house sitting, I have my own activities to keep me occupied, so no worries about me being nosy :)

About: I have had animals my entire life. I currently have 2 cats of my own; Binx and Luci. I have 10+ years of dog and cat sitting experience. I am an animal lover and want to take care of your pets so you won’t have to worry! My own cat has medical issues so I am comfortable giving oral medications to pets. I can also do house sitting things like watering plants, getting the mail, etc… I would love to care for your pets! **I am a teacher and have open availability in June and July but my schedule will change come August so I cannot do mid day drops in long term!** I am a teacher and have my summers and breaks off and would love to spend them taking care of your pets! I can also intermittently dog walk or pet sit during the school year. I am incredibly responsible and respectful. I am also a huge animal lover and know how to care for animals. I have a high standard for who takes care of my pets and I promise to deliver the same level of care I would expect for my own pets!

“Jackie is amazing! Xander is in love with her. I will schedule her again”


About: I have always had pets growing up from dogs of different sizes to bunnies and bird. Recently I have been taking care of my dog Dutch. He suffered from seizures all his life, so I have experience in bigger dogs and one with health issues. I have full availability. It may change due possibly picking up a part time job as I am preparing for a year long college course. Putting my dog through behavioral courses has helped me with heel training. So walking dogs of any size won't be an issue for me. Especially with it being so hot recently making sure the asphalt isn't too hot and not keeping dogs out for too long.

“I am so grateful to have found Mariah. She is an awesome caretaker for my pup on their weekly walks. She is punctual and always keeps me updated with pics and descriptions of anything noteworthy. Would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a trustworthy sitter/walker. 👍🏼”


“Thank you so much for keep my girls cool on this hot day! Please help yourself to a La croix in the fridge to help cool yourself and daughter down as well if you need.”
