“Thank you Paula! Joe had a wonderful walk and I appreciate the photos of him along the way. Going to the office is a bit easier knowing that my baby will have a wonderful walk mid-day. Thank you:)”
“Jessica‘s walked my dog several times now. She always shows up exactly what time she says she will be there and does a great job with my dog. I’ll be using her more in the future.”
“Sarah has been giving our dog weekly walks and has been extremely helpful. She’s responsive and very caring towards Polly. My wife and I both have schedules that can change quickly and she’s been very flexible with us which has been a huge help.”
“Breanna had the unfortunate duty of cleaning up a shattered glass vase one of my dogs knocked over when Breanna arrived. I appreciate her reaching out to me right away to let me know, and to also reassure me that neither dog (or she fortunately) was injured. She cleaned up the mess thoroughly, which was necessary to prevent injuries but also above and beyond. I also appreciate her continued patience with my two young and dogs. I know they are A LOT when she opens the front door. I'm really pleased to have found Breanna to take my dogs for recurring walks while I'm working. I look forward to her developing a bond with my crazy noodleheads. Highly recommended! 🥇”
“Excellent and reliable care! DAMACIA was available with short notice planning and ensured that Bear got everything he needed. She even made sure he got excellent care on the rainy day and bear, like most pups, is not a fan of the rain. I highly recommend DAMACIA and will book with her again when I’m looking for help!”
“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.”
About: I have five years of professional dog care in many different spheres. I have previously managed two different kennels, groomed many dogs around Richmond, and am K9-CPR certified. I have experience training puppies, adults, and seniors basic obedience, leash manners, and beginner agility. I am well versed in administering medications. Prior to working with dogs as a career, I have experience caring for many dogs over my life, from family pets to petsitting in the neighborhood. I am happy to provide enrichment activities for your animal as well, such as bubble play, doga (dog yoga), or drives to hiking locations. I am committed to being completely available for any of your pet needs! My main focus is comfortable care for your critter, no matter how early or late that may be. I feel that years of experience in caring for animals who are being boarded, hanging out at daycare, or getting a stylish spa day have taught me so much in how to interact and build trust with many animals no matter the situation. I believe a combination of patience, kindness, intuition, and some snackos can really foster a safe, positive environment for everybody.
“Andreea was great with both of our dogs. She even got our younger pup to warm up to her quickly and explore outside of her comfort zone a bit. She has a calm yet friendly demeanor, which was perfect for our dogs.”
About: I’ve had animals since I was a little girl, so I love to take care of dogs and cats! I have experience in training puppies as well as senior dogs and cats. I’m a currently a student and working three days a week, so I would be able to pet sit or go for walks on the weekends. I live in an apartment that your animal can have free rein in. I do not have a backyard, but I am able to take your pet for long walks all day!
About: I have been given the responsibility to take care of animals since I was 8 years old. I also have a kind hearted personality and reliable. I am very flexible with my schedule I have grown up with dogs and cats. Starting at 8 years old I’ve been given chores to start helping with the animals I make sure they have water and food. I will make sure all outdoor doors are closed so they don’t get out. I will always walk them with a leash and take them out frequently.
About: Hello! My name’s Melodee. I am a VCU graduate working in downtown Richmond from and I love all types of dogs! I love taking them on runs and walks, going to the park to play, and coming home for some well deserved belly rubs. I grew up with a cat and a dog, so I understand the needs and care they require. I treat every dog like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible and driving is never an issue. I cannot wait to meet you and your pets! Message me for any more questions/information! I have a dog of my own and she is my number one priority. No matter how busy I am or tired after a long day at work, I prioritize exercise, mental stimulation, and endless cuddles. I will treat your pets just the same when they are in my care. I have no problem with following the directions of the owners to insure their pet’s safety and happiness! Crating is not an issue either. I have a 6 year old Rottweiler who loves her crate. Drop in visits and walks are my go to specialties.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, including dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I have a very energetic cattle dog who is super sweet, so I’m very familiar with the needs of high-energy dogs and how to keep them engaged and happy. What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with very active pets—I know how to handle their energy and make sure they get the right balance of exercise and attention. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all ages and personalities, whether they’re playful puppies or calm seniors. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I am able to come before work, during lunch and after work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I’m completely free anytime on Saturday and Sunday. I provide pet care services at the client’s home, ensuring pets stay comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I prioritize creating a calm and secure atmosphere by following each pet’s routine and respecting their individual needs. I’m attentive to safety at all times—whether it’s supervising playtime, managing feeding schedules, or administering medications as directed. Trust and open communication with pet owners are very important to me, so I keep them updated and address any concerns promptly to give them peace of mind while they’re away.
