“Caitlin stayed overnight with our pup for the first time recently, and she was fantastic. She provided updates and lots of pictures throughout her stay, kept him on his routine, and administered a couple of short-term medications (including eye drops). Our plans changed slightly in terms of when we would be returning home and she was able to stay a couple hours later than originally anticipated which was super helpful. She took really good care of our pup, and when we got home, he was really happy and energetic - it was clear he had had a great time with his new friend! We will happily reach out to Caitlin again in the future!”

“Piper is the best!! Piper stepped in at the last minute when we had an issue with our previous sitter. She gave the pups plenty of love and exercise, and FaceTimed so I could go through their routine and virtually walk her through the house virtually. We truly cannot thank her enough!! To boot, she left the house in immaculate shape. Thank you, Piper ❤️”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a mom who worked in the Richmond Animal Shelter & a house full of adopted animals. From my sisters spoiled Pibble baby to my neighbors sweet little Yorkie, I’ve been their go to sitter/walker to watch their babies because they know I’ll love on them like my own fur babies 💕 I love to do Meet & Greets prior to your baby’s walk/drop-in if feasible. Coko & I are available Saturdays & Sundays for Meet & Greets! I am a mom of 3 & we have a Shih-poo named Coko. My babies have all grown up around family dogs and understand to be gentle with fur babies. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly so I’m sure we’ll meet a friend or two on ours walks.
“Lindsay was a life saver taking care of my Bambino on such short notice. She was super responsive with check ins and our dog loved her!”
About: I've cared for pets throughout my entire life. My family has adopted and raised pets of all varieties - I love them all! I love learning about pets' personalities, and their individual needs and wants! I have such a passion for working with animals, they are all so unique and show such a pure form of love. I work M-F, 8am-4pm, so my schedule is limited to a lot of evenings and weekends. I would love to help out in any way I can! I am experienced with many types of pet care, as I have petsit for friends and family frequently! I am adaptable and follow any and all directions carefully.
“Kiera was wonderful with our two elderly dogs and senior cat. She administered meds, catered to their individual needs, and sent daily pics. My chihuahua mix is wary with strangers but was cuddling with Kiera in no time. Kiera even brought mealworms to feed our Venus flytrap plant -- which was starving since I only gave it water. She also went above and beyond her duties by helping with a bit of a family emergency involving our travel plans. When we returned from our trip, the house was in good order and the animals were relaxed and happy. She as also prompt, communicative, and professional. We highly recommend Kiera.”
