“I recently had Kade take care of my two fur babies, and I couldn't be happier! They communicated thoroughly during each visit, providing updates and leaving photos that really put my mind at ease. They were fantastic with my cats, understanding their unique personalities. One of my cats needed medication, and Kade handled it perfectly. I highly recommend Kade for pet care-they're reliable, caring, and truly understand animals!”
“Liz was incredible with our older dog. She was always there on time, even early during his morning visits. She brought treats and sent so many adorable photos of how well he was doing while we were away. I would absolutely use Liz again in the future. What a gem!”
“Absolutely wonderful with my girl! My timid pup warmed right up to her, which usually does NOT happen so quickly, and loved the company. Kyla was responsive, communicative and was really great working with. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”
“We reached out to Jessica, because she seemed like a fit for our elderly dog with high medical needs. She was warm, accommodating, and she would have been the perfect fit had our dog not passed away before she could begin providing him care. She had not previously injected a dog, but she was a trooper - coming over for a visit, and gave Ricky insulin with ease. I also felt safe giving her a key to my home. I have already told my best friend (who has three dogs) about her, and while we are heartbroken by the circumstances, we remain hopeful we will encounter her through our dog loving friends who consistently need the kind of support I am confident she provides. Thank you again, Jessica.”
“Sophie did an amazing job with Pepper! Pepper is a people lover dog and can come off very intense. Sophie was kinda to my dog and I could tell by the way Pepper acted when I came home. Sophie was flexible, communicated well, took photos, did all that i asked when it came to Peppers needs, and gave great notes throughout her time with Pepper. I really appreciate you Sophie for checking in on my pup while i was gone and showing her love! I would highly recommend you to anyone. Once again thank you☺️”
“Thane was so great with my slightly psychotic and very special needs dog (old and with a bite history). They were so patient with my dog's stubbornness and various quirks and also successfully managed my cats, who are always trying to get out the door. There were no issues and I really believe it was the best possible experience for all my pets.”
“Andrew has been by far the best dog walker you could ask for. Always going above and beyond. He literally offered to install the portable AC in my house while I was at work and the AC went out. Leaving Richmond is going to be hard but finding anyone better with my dog will be impossible!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.
“Catherine's check-ins were wonderful. She was extra communicative and shared lots of pictures. She made me feel comfortable and know that King was well taken care of.”
“I’m never using anyone else! Tyler has a genuine love and passion for animals that shows in her visits and when she hosts. You won’t just get pictures of your dog playing in backyard - she actually spends time with your pup”
“My cats are very shy, but one of them came out to see Maria. I felt like they were in excellent hands. Communication was excellent. Luis and Maria are great!”
“Abby has been so lovely! She is timely, responsive and sweet with our crotchety old Cat. We really appreciate the detail of updates and images of daily care. Thank you, Abby!”
“Claire was FANTASTIC! She stopped over for a meet and greet prior to coming for the visit to meet them! Played and gave them a snack! Much appreciated! Loved getting the cute pics during the visit!”
“Elle took amazing care of my dogs with drop in visits for over 6 months and they both love her so much! She always took the best pictures and sent me updates. I would highly recommend Elle to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Rachel H is an outstanding sitter for my pups. She takes such great care of the babies and they love her. I trust Rachel H in my home and taking care of my babies.”
“Being away from my furbabies is always stressful. Nicole was able to ease my stress with her excellent care of my 3 furbabies. One super senior on lots of meds and the other two prior feral makes them not the easiest to care for. Nicole did great with walking, feeding and any special needs that occurred. I will use Nicole again should I need to travel without my furbabies.”
“These folks are incredible!! So kind, great with my dog, and very flexible. I’ll be booking again!”
