About: I would love to come take care of your pet. I have always loved animals and training them has always been second nature to me. All my life I have been raising puppies along with all types of other creatures. I value their life as you would your own and I treat all owners and their belongings including furry children with utmost respect. I have fostered puppies from SFC(Spotsylvania) and BRAG here in Richmond. I am an army veteran who's current pet is a pitsky. She knows commands I have taught her myself. Sit, stay, down, drop, speak, handshake, ect. :-) I also know how to do dog CPR even though I am not certified I had a lab/mastiff mix who had a heart condition. I hope to work with you in the future. I currently am not working so I am flexible atm. However that may change by then end of June. I am always open to discussing plans with you.. I have a fenced in yard and at my clients home, if they do not have a fenced in yard, I make sure to never allow a pet to escape. I couldn't imagine the terror if it happened to mine so I will never let that happen to yours.

“Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!”

“Caitlyn and Sam were absolutely amazing with our beagle, Gary! He can be a little nervous at first, and big noises tend to scare him, but they were incredibly patient, understanding, and gave him all the time he needed to settle in and feel comfortable. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish, which gave us so much peace of mind. They kept us updated with messages and photos, making it easy to relax knowing Gary was in such great hands. Since we were out of the country, their updates and communication meant even more. It truly felt like Gary was staying at his home away from home. Their girls adored him, and it was obvious that he was loved and cared for like one of their own. I honestly can’t say enough positive things about this family. They made us feel completely at ease, and knowing Gary was in such caring hands meant everything. If you’re looking for a safe, loving, and welcoming home for your pup, I highly recommend Caitlyn and Sam. We will absolutely be booking with them again!”

“My dog Ruth had a blast staying with Maggie and Josh for a week while I was out of town. Ruth can be very shy around new people and nervous in new places.. but not with Maggie and Josh! Ruth was best friends with Maggie at first sight and was very comfortable in their home. They sent me regular photo updates and clearly cared for Ruth like she was their own dog. Even the questions Maggie asked me at our meet and greet showed her familiarity with and care for dogs. I wholeheartedly recommend Maggie and Josh, and I know Ruth is already looking forward to my next trip so she can stay with them again.”

Allejah really is a five star sitter! Communication and knowledge of doggie behaviors, attention to detail, flexibility, and LOVE are all top tier. This was my first boarding experience and I have a senior dog so I was on pins and needles going in- my anxiety was eliminated after meeting Allejah and receiving my first round of doggie mail. My old pup was just as comfortable and cantankerous with her as he is with us:-). I appreciated that she made my Velcro dog feel comfortable enough to relax, rest, and cuddle. As an anxious pet parent- I was comfortable enough to enjoy my travels. I would 100% recommend her and I’d love to have her puppy sit again when the need arises.

Charlotte is the absolute best, and my puhpeh girl Winter loves her stays. She's super understanding and flexible if able. My girl always comes home ready to nap so I know she was well taken care of and probably a little spoiled. Communication is always great/consistent and I get some cute pictures while I'm away. Your fur kid(s) will be in great hands here.

If I could give Amy and Grant more than five stars, I would! Leaving your dogs with someone else is never easy, but from the moment we met them, they made us feel welcome and at ease. They took the time to show us both the inside of their home and their yard, which was very important to us, and it was immediately obvious how organized and prepared they are. They asked thoughtful questions about Charlie and Roscoe's personalities, routines, feeding schedules, medications, supplements, allergies, and habits so they could care for them exactly the way we do. Amy and Grant took the time to understand each of their individual needs, and it was obvious from the beginning that they truly wanted to provide the same level of care our dogs receive at home. We had a last-minute schedule change that was completely my fault, and they were incredibly understanding and accommodating without making me feel like it was an inconvenience. Throughout their seven-day stay, they sent multiple updates every day with photos and videos that made us smile and reassured us that our boys were happy, safe, and loved. It was especially sweet to see their children spending time with Charlie and Roscoe and treating them like members of the family. The thing that impressed me most was the incredible attention to detail. They sent home a spreadsheet documenting everything—from feedings, medications, and supplements to personalities, allergies, and routines. Because we have a very specific way of caring for our dogs, that level of organization meant the world to us. Amy and Grant cared for Charlie and Roscoe as if they were their own, and that's something you simply can't put a price on. We are so grateful for everything they did, and I would trust them with our dogs again in a heartbeat. I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for caring, dependable, organized, and genuinely wonderful Rover sitters.

Siobhan was great! She kept me posted about Shade and sent pictures. I liked she had other dogs for Shade to interact with. A plus is Siobhan’s location is very convenient to where I live. This is the third time I requested her services, however was only fortunate to book twice. Very pleased and would recommend!
