“Devinder is great with my dog. He takes the time to connect with Baloo and gives him the mid-day attention and care needed while I'm at work. Devinder is very reliable and is very good at communicating. I would highly recommend!”


2. Kade M.

5. Katryn S.
About: I was raised around all kinds of pets, from cats and dogs to snakes and spiders. I take a lot of pride in taking great care of animals and providing them with a safe and loving environment. I’m currently a student on break, so I have a lot of time on my hands for the time being. I can work with your schedule! I am very careful with any animal within my responsibility. I’m well-practiced in keeping sneaky pets from escaping out the door, keeping leashed dogs away from other dogs, and medicating animals. I will strictly follow any instructions I am given to make sure your pet is safe, healthy, and comfortable!


6. Nevaeh S.

“This was our first time booking with Nevaeh. It was easy to set up walks and they went smoothly. Thank you.”




7. Lindsey S.

“I would highly recommend Lindsey! She is great with dogs, very attentive and detailed in her reports. She was also super flexible with us-we had a couple schedule changes and weather issues, but she made it work. Also, I locked myself out of my house one morning and she came by and let me in! Saved me a whole bunch of money on a locksmith. Great dog caretaker and just a kind soul. Don't hesitate-book her now!”


8. Maria & Luis V.


“Maria and Luis provided excellent care for our 15.5 year old dog. They gave her the slow walks she needed, food and medicine. She was very content when we got home after a 7-day getaway. I highly recommend them.”


9. Whitney P.
“Whitney is an extremely caring and gifted animal lover. She not only takes great care of our pets but she is always looking beyond their everyday needs. She is diligent about getting the best quality natural food for our pets. She often buys treats and new toys to keep them mentally stimulated and active. All of our pets require a lot of attention: Durga 🐶 is around 12 years old and has allergies which require a special diet. Whitney gives her natural foods and supplements that will help Durga’s digestion and keeps up with her care. Durga has also had mast cells twice and Whitney nursed Durga back to health after two separate surgeries. Whitney is vigilant about lumps, skin spots and any signs of potential mast cells on Durga. Ziggy 🐈, our 2 year old boy gets crystals in his urine and Whitney is always watching for subtle signs of inflammation and urinary tract blockages which can be very dangerous to his health. Millie 🐈⬛ is our youngest kitty at less than 5 months old and Whitney has been taking care of her vaccines, vet appointments and a parasite infection that results in diarrhea. Whitney has been managing of all of these concerns as well as providing them with constant love, affection and top notch care. Any pet parent who hires Whitney will see how dedicated she is to making sure all animals are well cared for and loved. She is sensitive to a wide variety of pets’ needs and will make sure they are all addressed. If you hire Whitney to watch your pets you can rest easy that they will be taken care of extremely well”


10. Lila D.


“This was our first time using a dog walker and Lila was beyond great! She was so open to a meet and greet to begin with and was able to spend some time with our dog while we weren’t home. The updates through Rover were so helpful and kept our minds at ease! Lila even included a bunch of photos each day! We can’t recommend her enough!”


11. Amanda M.


“Amanda did an awesome job walking my dog Bosco! She was great at communicating over the app and really managed to win over my nervous dog. I would 100% have her watch my pets again!”


12. Alexas G.
“Alexas has been walking and sitting both in my home and at hers for 5 years now and is wonderful with both my lab and my boxer. They love her has one of our family and often wait at the door when they know it almost time for her to arrive. She always has a positive attitude when she arrives, she has been a true blessing for our family.”


13. Erin S.

“Erin was very responsive, friendly and attentive to my dogs needs. She was able to come during the middle of the day to give my girl a nice walk around the neighborhood and even played with her inside a bit before heading out. My dog loved my time with her!”

“Grant was so amazing to my little Loretta! Can’t recommend him enough!”

16. Chloe W.

“Chloe was a life saver! My fiancé and I came to Richmond to do engagement photos and we wanted our dog to be part of the fun. When I reached to Chloe to ask if she could help handle our pup, she was excited and eager to help. Right when we first met, Chloe offered to take Tor for a walk to get his wiggles out while my fiancé and I started our photo session.”

20. Bridgette M.

“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”
