“Phoebe LOVES going to daycare every week; I think she’s starting to learn which day it’s on. She’s been gaining confidence, learning new skills, and making friends while I’m at work, and I’m so grateful I found y’all!”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor — a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities. I had my own dog for almost 16 wonderful years, and she was truly a beloved part of my life. After she passed, I began fostering because I couldn’t imagine life without dogs. I’ve now fostered several dogs, each with their own needs, quirks, and snuggle preferences. I’m patient, attentive, and love helping dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether that means giving extra cuddles, creating calm routines, or simply being a reassuring presence. I’m also a very active person, so if your dog enjoys long walks or even going for runs, I’m happy to match their energy. High-energy pups are always welcome! My goal is to make your dog feel at home and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry family member and care for them like my own. I work 100% remote so spend the majority of my day at home and would be with your furry friend. I am able to easily bake in walks and playtime during my workday to ensure they get the attention and exercise they need! We have a nice porch and a fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy time outside without worry. We also have a crate here for up to 70 lbs dog and can safely crate your pet to ensure they are comfortable and safe if left alone.

“Eddie had a blast with Cindy!! She sent us so many pictures and updates that made us able to enjoy our time away from him and know he was being well loved. She was very accommodating with pick up and drop off as well. We can’t wait to use her again!”

“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”

“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 !”

“Kourtney is so loving and kind — she made me feel completely at ease with leaving Henry with her! She kept me updated with photos and texts of how he was doing. I never worried because I knew he was taken care of and loved the whole time! I’m definitely using her again and would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, and even farm animals—and I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to seniors who need medication and gentle care. I fostered through the Richmond SPCA in college, which taught me patience, how to read different personalities, and how to help shy or nervous pets feel safe. I’ve also worked with professional trainers while raising my own dog, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic commands, routines, and positive behavior. I’m active and love taking dogs on long walks and play sessions, but I also know how to slow things down for older pets or those who prefer a calm routine. What sets me apart is that I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new, and I focus on giving both you and your pet comfort while you’re apart—lots of love, clear communication, and updates that help you feel connected every step of the way. I live at home and work remotely, so I’m able to be with your pet throughout the day. This gives me the flexibility to stick to their routine, whether that means regular potty breaks, long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company so they never feel alone. Your pet won’t be waiting hours for attention, I’m around to give them consistent care and comfort. I live in a three bedroom home with plenty of space and a secure 6-ft fenced yard, with Ring cameras surrounding the property for added safety and peace of mind. My own dog is crate trained, friendly, and well-socialized—he loves to play but is gentle and respectful enough to give visiting dogs space when they need it. I can keep pets separate if preferred, and I have two bedrooms set up as little “pet hotels” so each dog has their own quiet, comfortable space to relax, sleep, or eat without stress. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your routines closely, communicate often, and make sure every animal feels safe, understood, and treated like family.

About: 🚨📢❗️✨ Quick Info: -Meet & Greets required before booking. -Multiple pups often booked at a time. -Pickup/Drop-off: Mon–Sun, 7:00 AM–8:30 PM -Currently unable to accept unneutered or non-spayed dogs. Hi there, I’m Raven, and I’m glad you’re here. At Doggy Adventures, my mission is to create safe, joyful, and unforgettable adventures for dogs while giving owners peace of mind. Every pup in my care gets personal attention, plenty of love, and an environment where tails never stop wagging. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. With Doggy Adventures, I spend most of my day making sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. That being said, I usually have a lot of dogs in my care, and because of that and limited staff, I’m unable to accept dogs with severe anxiety or puppies who may need more one-on-one attention. However, feel free to reach out, and we can chat to see if it's a good fit! When caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm and safe environment where they feel comfortable and well taken care of. I follow any specific routines or requests you have to keep things consistent for your pet, from feeding and bathroom schedules to playtime and cuddle sessions.

About: Whether you need a daily walk/potty break while you’re at work, an overnight sitter, or boarding, I would be happy to care for and love your pet as my own! I am a professional runner and frequently travel for races, so unfortunately I don’t have any pets of my own. Figure your pet will fill my void! I treat your pet (and your space) as if it were my own. If you prefer boarding, I have a large fenced backyard perfect for zoomies, sniffs, and sticks. I live steps away from the river, so adventures along the James are always on schedule! I own a 1600 sqft rancher, so no stair hazards for my older pups.

“This was Luna’s first day with Julie. She was happy when I picked her up and seemed to enjoy herself. We have another day scheduled in a week.”

About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs and cats—as well as my neighbors’ pets—since childhood. I have always had one or more rescue dogs and am currently in the process of becoming a certified dog trainer. I am naturally conscientious and detail-oriented, and aim to provide a retreat-like stay for your dog—giving you peace of mind and returning them to you happy and tired! I have several sizes of pet beds, dog stairs and ramp, a crate, bowls including an automatic water dispenser and slow feeders, toys, bones, treats, games, etc; the only thing you will need to bring is your dog’s food but I am happy to take any other items that may make your dog more comfortable; please let me know if your dog should stick to food/treats you provide. I work from home, which allows me to easily coordinate feedings, walks, playtime, and any necessary medications. I also prefer to spend most of my time at home, so your dog will receive lots of dedicated attention and love! I truly enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and providing an environment and activities best suited to their particular needs and personality. I have a large yard that’s securely fenced in both the front and back, giving your dog plenty of safe space to roam and play. When I’m home, I often leave the back door open so dogs can come and go as they please. I value clear communication and will provide consistent updates. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone else to care for a beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will treat both your pet and your home with the utmost care and respect. I am able to board several dogs at a time but meet all dogs beforehand and don’t accept more than 1 new guest at a time. If you prefer your dog to be the only guest please let me know and I am happy to accommodate if I have no prior bookings. I am not able to take dogs that are not fully house trained or mark inside the home. I always feed separately as a precaution.

“Miguel was available on late notice and flexible with my schedule. They took great care of Jeni, and sent me lots of videos! I recommend!!”

About: What sets me apart is 25 years of experience. I began pet sitting at the age of 10 and have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Providing pets with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment has always been a passion of mine. Including walking, bathing, and working with both puppies and senior dogs. I also have experience with pet sitting more than one dog. I currently volunteer remotely for two hours once a week, so I have plenty of free time to care for your fur baby. I'm available Monday through Friday, but I'm happy to be flexible if you need weekend boarding or doggy day care for your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and a friendly small dog who would love to keep your fur baby company. If you prefer, I can also crate your dog with ease.

“Sabrina was extremely accommodating as I needed day care coverage extremely last minute. She allowed the my pup & her dogs to get comfortable with one another and sent me updates throughout the day without prompting. I truly appreciate her kindness and expertise and will definitely book with her again.”

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets for many years now. I thoroughly enjoy their company, and they seem to enjoy mine as well. I am very energetic and love spending time outside. As a carer for dogs, I believe strongly that they should get a ton of out door exercise. If you choose me as a care provider, you can be assured that they will be very active during their time with me, and location and temperament permitting, will have plenty of fresh air and green space to enjoy. In addition to loving on pets professionally, I work remotely from home as a grant writer. I make my own schedule, and can easily make time to get some fresh air. I live very close to Forest Hill Park, and spend lots of time there and the Buttermilk trail with and without dogs to walk. If you live elsewhere, I'll be exploring the green spaces near you with your dogs, and treating your personal space like the guest I am.
