Pet care experience

Your pet, my priority

I have over 20 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as those of friends and family. I share life with my husky Luna, which has given me a strong understanding of energetic breeds and the importance of exercise, structure, and consistent routines. I take pride in maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications when needed, and providing calm, attentive care so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the routines they are used to so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks and exercise as needed, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and give pets plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home with respect and provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and doing well while they are away.

House Sitting • May 25, 2026

I was gone for ten days and Bryan had great questions during our meet and greet, covering all the important areas. Bryan's work-from-home status meant he was able to provide a more consistent presence for my pup while I was gone. The photos Bryan posted during my trip were reassuring and it looked like he and my pup genuinely bonded with each other; on return my pup seemed healthy and happy. Bryan was responsive when I reached out with questions and posted photos every couple of days. Otherwise, written communication was more reactive than proactive so for those who like frequent unprompted reports, you should explicitly ask for that. That said, I'd hire him again without hesitation.

Bryan did a great job of taking care of 1 senior dog and 1 higher energy dog at the same time. Leaving them at home with Bryan and keeping their regular routines worked out great. We will ask him to care for them again for sure!

Bryan took the best care of our dog and 2 cats. He was very communicative and sent lots of photos. My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety but Bryan helped her feel comfortable and happy. Will definitely book again.

Schedule

I provide attentive, reliable care for dogs and cats in the Richmond area. My goal is simple. Make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I focus on house sitting so pets can stay comfortable in their own home and maintain their normal routines while owners travel. I understand that leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful. I take that responsibility seriously. Every animal I care for receives the same level of attention I give my own dog. You can expect: • Frequent photo and video updates 
• Long walks and real exercise
 • Consistent routines for feeding and medication
 • Calm handling for nervous or anxious pets
 • A clean, safe environment 
• Quick communication while you are away I have experience with high-energy breeds, senior pets, and dogs that require structure and patience. I also understand how important trust is when someone is staying in your home. My approach is simple. Your pet’s comfort comes first. Meet-and-greets are always welcome so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.

Please share your pet’s feeding schedule, medications, allergies, and exercise routine ahead of time. It also helps to know about temperament, training commands, anxiety triggers, and how your pet interacts with other dogs so I can provide safe, attentive care.
