“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”

About: Puppy sitting for my perfect nephew (Rocky) for the last five years in San Diego inspired me to help others in Richmond now that I call it my home. In college I fostered kittens that were too young to be adopted to help build socialization skills with people. I grew up always having both a dog and cat in the home and can’t wait to rescue someone of my own here soon 😊. I live and work in the Willow Lawn area and love to get out for many walks. I live an active life and love the outdoors. I am happily available for boarding, daycare or walks but currently prefer weekends over weekdays as I work from an office down the road from home. Advance notice to schedule boarding is greatly appreciated to plan ahead with my schedule. It is just me at home with a fenced in spacious backyard and quiet street full of neighborhood fur friends to meet along our walks!
“Great pet sitter! Natalie was prompt in responding and sent regular updates throughout the visit. My dog seems to have had a great time. Definitely recommend this sitter.”


About: I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. I carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. My focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. Pet care is part of my daily life. I’m home throughout the day and organize my schedule around the dogs in my care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. I have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside, I provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. I follow established routines closely, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.
About: I have been dog sitting a variety of breeds for 6 years. I am reliable, responsible, and I pour a ton of love into these sweet pups! I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule and will be with your fur baby around the clock. I am available for boarding 7 days a week. My sweet rescue Nellie is very friendly and kind. She loves the company of other pups as she has separation anxiety. She loves going on lots of walks and running around at parks. She’s also a big snuggler! She will help make your pup feel right at home.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and love them to pieces. Looking to spend more time with them and help others care for their own pets when needed! Can’t get my own dog right now so wanting some more quality pet time. I’m currently applying to medical jobs and not yet working, so have a lot of availability and general flexibility. Will likely start new job in 6/2026 and will then have more weekend or only after work hours availability. I live in an apartment in Richmond in Scott’s addition which is walkable but fairly urban, plenty of spots to go potty though. They have a fenced in area for dogs to play but it is limited in space. There are larger parks nearby and I am always down for long play times or walks to give your pupper needed exercise and attention:) Really care for dogs deeply and will do anything to make your pet feel cared for and happy. Open to house sitting.
“Ariel was absolutely wonderful taking care of Georgie all day! Her own dogs were sweet and well behaved, and Georgie adored being a member of the pack, and playing with her daughter. My absolute highest recommendation!!”

Malvern Gardens dog parents share their Rover experiences
I’m so grateful that I found them to take care of my old senior dog. He requires medications, a lot of love and attention and he gets exactly what he needs. I get a very happy pup after a long day at work. I’m looking forward to using Natalie for future bookings as I now trust her to take care of my fur baby.

Nelly loved Allison! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos of my girl. Made my workday much smoother knowing she was in such good hands. Nelly was worn out and slept all the way home. Will definitely be recommending her and requesting her again ☺️
