“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”

“Danielle and Matt were amazing - so responsive and helpful with our dog despite the last minute ask. They kept us updated about how he was doing throughout the day as well which is always appreciated!”

“Julie was the absolute best! She was able to accommodate our travel schedule with no problem and gave Ziggy a very fun afternoon. We definitely recommend her for any pet stays!”
“Alice came back from Lauren‘s house exhausted and happy. Lauren sent several pictures and updates throughout the day and let me know that my baby was having a good time. We’ve already booked more daycare dates and are looking forward to using Lauren more in the future.”
“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was a child. I started when I was about 11 years old and grew up in a house of 4 dogs and a cat that I would spend a lot of my free time training. I now have a 5 year old mini dachshund that I spend my time with at college. She is currently back home with my family as of last week so I have a pet free house. I have online class so I am available majority of the day. I have track practice typically from 2-5 on weekdays but that does vary. I travel on weekends sometimes. I am free otherwise. I ensure pets feel comfortable by sticking to their routines, providing exercise, and offer quality company. I prioritize cleanliness and safety, keeping their space secure and well-maintained the same way I would my own.
“Myrna is a great sitter. She has taken excellent care of Starbuck. We have scheduled doggie day care and boarding. Myrna's schedule is flexible and she works with us on drop off and pickup times. We will continue to use Myrna's services.”

About: Hi there! My name is Gaby and my partner’s name is Sawyer and if you’re looking for someone to love your baby(ies) and treat them like their own - you’ve found the right people! We have both grown up surrounded by pets our whole lives, are currently proud dog parents to two boys, and have yet to come across a pet we aren’t obsessed with. We know how stressful it can be to trust someone with your fur baby so we try to ease any concerns as best we can with constant communication including updates and pictures so you never feel like your pet is too far! 🥰 My partner and I have both taken care of dogs of all kinds, from senior dogs to raising 3+ litters - we’ve seen it all and we’re not worried about getting our paws dirty. Our background with dogs means we are both comfortable administering medication and caring for any special needs. We’ve dealt with gentle giants, high energy pups, cranky senior dogs, and more. On top of that, we have a fenced in backyard for our furry guests to roam around in! I work from home every day so I will be with your pet all day, keeping them constant company! Aside from having the fenced in backyard which they will have access to, we go on at least two walks a day, sometimes a third in the afternoon depending on the heat. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. We have separate floors and rooms so we have more than enough space for crates and to keep dogs separate if needed! We are big snugglers though!!
“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!!”

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember…until now! I’m a young professional in my own apartment for the first time and don’t feel quite ready for a pet of my own, but am sorely missing furry company! I work remotely so can work anywhere with Wi-Fi and have plenty of time for walk breaks throughout my work day…I typically take at least three and that’s just for my own sake! I aim to make your pet feel as much normalcy as possible in your absence! I’m happy to imitate whatever rules/routines etc you typically upkeep with them.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have watched my own pets, neighbors, and friends pets. You can trust me to love and care for your pets like they are my own! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can care for your pets as needed throughout the day! You can guarantee a lunch time walk if they are interested! :) Willing to provide references! I live in a very pet friendly apartment! I have dog toys and treats to provide as needed as well! Your pups will have everything they need.
About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life & Cared for several of them through Rover in the past 10 years. Currently my partner and I own a very sweet 3-year-old cat named Pigeon. She loves all guests. I own a fenced-in home on a quiet street in North Richmond. I work remotely for a national consulting firm, so i am home full-time. Very comfortable with all breeds, and am familiar all types of collars and walkers. I’m currently available for dog and/or cat Boarding and can also schedule Drop-ins & Walks. Open to special requests - dietary, exercise, or otherwise! I work remotely, so I’ve got plenty of free time to give furry guests love and attention. I always make time to go outside when weather permits. Proposed activities are up to the owner’s discretion. For boarding, we have plenty of indoor space and we have a large fenced-in back yard! Also we keep a close eye on how our cat reacts to guests.
