Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help

Pamela and Paul were awesome with Monroe! She is a sensitive dog who felt right at home with a little extra attention. They were flexible with our schedule and accommodating for a late pick up one day. I will definitely use them again- true animal lovers that treat your dog like their own!

Amy and Kris couldn't have been nicer people. I used their services to watch my beagle for the day while I visited Richmond. Their home was easy on and off the highway making this place ideal for visits. Bitsy spent the day with a few other nice dogs, received some delicious homemade doggy treats and got lots of love and snuggles. Thanks, we will be back again. :)

Katharine was so responsive and kind as I navigate a last minute work trip. Her house was obviously a pups heaven and I was so grateful that my dogs, Swoosh and Frankie, were able to stay with Katharine and Louie (x2) for a few hours. If we’re ever back in Richmond, Katharine will always be our first call!

Great with my little one she is old and spoiled Chihuahua and she just keeps getting spoiled. Loves the yard to run in and play with the bigger dogs sometimes. But the best part is she is worn out by the time we get home. And they are so flexible with my crazy schedule.

About: I’ve grown up around animals since I was little. I have expensive experience with dogs, especially, and taking care of both puppies and elderly dogs. I know, knowledgeable about feeding schedules, bloat, and dealing with pets that may eat too fast. I can also walk two dogs at a time and navigate other animals/pet interactions. Cat wise, I own a cat myself currently and am knowledgeable on administering medication, both topical and oral. Oral medication includes pills and syringes. My cat, when I first rescued him, had pneumonia and severe URI. So I am very knowledgeable when it comes to dealing with chronically ill animals as well. I am currently looking for a job so up until late June I am free anytime. But after I will be working full-time, but can do morning or after work drop ins. My weekends are also completely free so if you want to go away for a long weekend, I would be happy to drop in. When it comes to walking, my schedule is the same. I would also be happy to board your cat or a dog, as long as you’re OK with them interacting with my own pets. I live in an apartment, but I have a lot of open outside yard turf that dogs and cats can run on if they like. Inside my apartment I have a bunch of cat towers and toys that if boarding your animals would love to interact with.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring dog lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or feeding, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Why Choose Me? ✔ Patient, attentive, and reliable ✔ Clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment ✔ Regular updates with photos and messages ✔ Genuinely love spending time with animals I work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a friendly dog of my own, so your pup will have a built-in buddy for play and socialization. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to stick closely to your dog’s routine, provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. Your dog will never be left alone for long and will be treated like part of the family. I care for pets as if they were my own, with safety, trust, and comfort as my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm environment with a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. I also have crates available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet, safe space to relax.

About: Being a dog and cat owner my whole life has taught me how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, affection, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I have a flexible schedule amd am able to work from home. I genuinely enjoy making pet care part of my daily routine. As a dog and cat owner myself, I’m already used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and helping keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine and needs, and will treat them as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I always pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel safe, secure, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and truly love providing a safe, happy home away from home for every pup in my care. I’m an experienced sitter with more than 20 repeat clients who have trusted me with dog sitting, walking, bathing, and fun play dates. At home, we have a friendly bichon who loves making new friends, as well as a playful 2-year-old poodle who enjoys having furry guests around. Your dog will have built-in companions and plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. With a flexible work schedule and a genuine passion for animals, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s needs. I treat every pet like family and look forward to welcoming yours into our home! My work is fully remote so dogs and i go out about five times a day. This includes a long walk or hike in the afternoon. We also take play breaks throughout the day to keep him engaged. We also have a fenced in yard so they are able to play outside as much as they please! Pet safety is always my top priority. I live in a condo with a fully fenced-in yard, providing a secure outdoor space for supervised play and fresh air. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means closely monitoring introductions, following specific feeding instructions, administering medications, or maintaining consistent routines. I keep a clean, calm environment and never leave pets unattended outside. My goal is to create a safe, structured setting where every dog feels comfortable, protected, and right at home.

I can’t even say how amazing Farrah has been with my pups. A true life saver and they would absolutely rather be with her any day of the week than home. The exciting when we get close to her house is over the top. We are so grateful to have found her and any dog that gets her care will be over the moon :)

Matt is fantastic. My dog Ru loves going to his house so much that she sprints to his front door and will not look back for me at all. She has a great time with him and when I pick her up she is happy and tired in the best way. He clearly has a great understanding of dogs and is very professional and communicative. I feel completely confident leaving my girl there and I know she has the absolute best care.
