About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and understand what comes with them. I also do know it’s hard to find someone to take care of them in times of travel ect… I work a varying schedule with my normal job, but will be willing to work anytime I have free time or days off! I would even work after a shift. I would follow the schedules by being punctual with time, but also let the pet do as it needs to feel comfortable! I am shooting to make them feel at home!

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week! This is a little niche that I found that nobody was able to fill, and I wanted to dedicate my career to helping those families who only need four hours a day one day a week and that doesn’t necessarily need to be the same day. As my schedules always changing, my availability will always be changing so I will try to keep that up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! I’m really looking forward to all the snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too!

“Brittney was great with my three dogs. She built an instant connection with them including one this is usually slow to warm up to new people. She completely understood the special instructions and care required for my diabetic dog and I felt very comfortable with her taking care of them.”

“Keith is reliable and excellent with my puppy and older dog.”

Sarah C.

About: I grew up taking care of my friends' and family's dogs, including walking, feeding, and training. I love all kinds of dogs and love to go on walks! I'm available during any day of the week. I am free Monday through Thursday after 3pm and Friday through Sunday at any time throughout the day. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine by providing attentive care, secure walks, fresh water, and regular updates to owners. I always follow instructions carefully and create a calm, trustworthy environment for pets.

“I booked Farah to look after my 2 cats over Christmas break and she did a wonderful job! Both my kitties loved Farah and were obviously well cared for. I have one cat who’s very shy but he warmed up to Farah very quickly. One of my cats required oral medication and the other needed his teeth brushed daily, both Farah was able to do successfully. Her prompt communication also kept me assured while I was away. The house was tidy/clean when I got back; one of my cats has a habit of kicking litter out of his box and Farah was on top of vacuuming it up. Thank you Farah!”

“Although my cat was initially wary of a stranger, Alexandra made fast friends with him and I felt better knowing he wasn't too lonely while I was gone. Thanks Alexandra!”

Jessica T.

“Sara was great! She took care of our 3 cats over the weekend. Will definitely rebook!”

Pamela M.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aly is amazing! We felt so secure with her watching our three fur babies. She went above and beyond - spoiling them rotten and spoiling us with the cutest pics. She was clean up crew when they were being extra mischievous and so sweet through it all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

About: I've always had dogs in my life ever since childhood. I provide homemade meals and belly rubs. Play time and tv time! Tremendous love daily. Being At home allows my freedom to take care of my dog and yours. Free time to do multiple activities. Play time and nap time. I also cater to evening and night shift workers because I have a hard time finding care for my own. I do have a crate if necessary. Toys. Treats. Puzzles. My dog is also my helper. Blankets. Tranquility music for naps. The Hugs are unlimited.

About: For much of my life, I have lived with pets. For the past 20 or so years being single and work travel has made that difficult. I have filled that void by caring for my friend's pets. It has been a huge benefit for them as well as myself. This is my attempt to formalize this as I am relatively new to Richmond. My schedule is my own and I can prioritize your pet as my priority with appropriate notice. My friends and clients have appreciated my flexibility. One aspect I love about pet sitting and walking is the walking portion. If appropriate, I love taking your dog on long walks in the wonderful public parks around Richmond.

About: I am an animal lover! I have grown up with dogs and taking care of other people's animals. I have a beagle and a Siberian husky that I adore and spend all of my free time with. My beagle's name is Ben and he is 7 years old. My husky's name is Bear and he is 4 years old. I have spent a lot of time over summers dog sitting where I spent the night in the homes and cared for the dogs throughout the day. I know how to get animals to listen and how to be patient when they are struggling to do this. I can be very flexible with bookings and am ready to provide the type of care that your pets may need.

“Helena has provided excellent care for my puppy, shared great photos and reports for each visit, and always maintained great communication with me. She was very observant from day one, followed instructions and always kept me abreast of any changes or concerns regarding my pet. Thanks, Helena!”

Parker

“Elena is fantastic! We have two rescue doodles and one of them is scared to death of strangers. She was patient and kind to our pups, and Annie and Cooper took to her right away! We just love her and will definitely use her as a regular sitter!”

Gina G.

About: I have taken care of pets for a couple of years for friends, family, and neighbors. I have had dogs all my life and love taking them on walks and playing with them in the yard! I am currently in school online and working two part-time jobs, so I am available Monday-Friday. With a two week notice I am also able to provide help on the weekends! When caring for pets I ensure that they get lots of time outside and getting exercise such as walks or playing fetch. I own a Doberman, so I am used to high energy dogs and I worked at a Doggy Daycare where I got lots of experience working with all different breeds and temperaments.

“Courtney is amazing.”

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

“Sophia is very communicative and I know I can rely on her with my one senior and one high-energy pups. I appreciate how clear she communicates and her attention to detail!”
