“Darnell has been wonderful. He has communicated well and his very respectful/trustworthy to my house. Aurora is also enjoying her time as well(she looks for walks around the same times during the weekends when it’s just us).I’m thankful for Darnell and recommend him for your pet care needs.”

About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for dogs and have experience taking care of my own as well as helping with others. In a effort to getting outside, staying active, and working toward my own fitness goals. I figured, why not accomplish two things at once?! Let me help you feel confident your pup or pups are cared for while getting some extra steps in myself! I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog with the same care I’d want for my own. Please reach out if my schedule is blocked we maybe able to work something out. I currently work full time in Richmond however I am in the office 2-3 days a week. Depending on those days, I can do lunch drop ins, however morning and evenings I am absolutely available. I am also in school so most weekends I am in the area! I am happy to do whatever is needed to care for your pet. If there are additional needs outside walking and feeding the dog please let me know. I am happy to confirm what I am comfortable doing.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for a few years now, and what sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for all kinds of animals, and my determination to provide a safe, loving, and harm-free environment for your pets. I’m currently a college student athlete at Virginia State University, and a member of a social organization on campus, those are my only responsibilities, and I am unemployed while at college. I give my pets a lot of love and rubs whenever I can, I also feed them reasonably and clean their litter box frequently. I also leave my door open in case my pets want to sleep and spend time with me.

About: I’ve owned and cared for furry (scaled and feathered!) friends my whole life. From cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and bunnies, to fish and birds. I even have experience caring for sugar gliders and a ball python. I’ve worked as a pet uber (with a company called Leash) and volunteered at shelters, socializing events, and cat rescues for several years, so I’m used to interacting with all kinds of pet personalities and ages. From shy snugglers, to loyal guardians, to spunky characters, to goofy adventurers, I love them all! You can trust I will love on your baby and treat them with as much care as I do my own fur babies. My schedule is fairly flexible right now since my medical retirement from the Army in October. I’m currently working on an online M.S. in psych and substitute teaching in my boyfriend’s town (Clarksville, VA) whenever I’m available. Since it’s a long commute and I’m typically called the morning of, I try to keep Monday and Tuesday open to sub if needed. I am more than willing to do virtual and in person meet and greets to learn pet needs and routines. I prefer to meet in person to get acquainted with your pet while they feel safe in your presence (but I’ve never met a pet I didn’t click with and love immediately.) I’ll accept any additional written/typed outlines detailing your pets care if that’s easier than leaving notes in the app. You name it and I’ll do it; whatever is best for you and your fur baby. Dogs under my care will enjoy long walks and dog parks trips where applicable. If you have a puppy (or dog) in training, I love to partner in their learning using whatever commands you prefer. Kitties under my care will get lots of playtime with wands and lasers, as well as tons of snuggles.

“Thank you :)”

About: I love all animals but I’m a dog lover through & through. Yes.. Even the stinky, accident prone, jumper, barker, puller, escape artists, babies too. I was raised with 2 boxers who have made their way across the rainbow bridge. I raised a super mutt for 6 years who has also crossed over. I now have a Rottie mix who was adopted through Chesterfield Animal Shelter going on 4 years ago. She is, in addition to my human babies, my dog child. She is the best of friends with my kids. If you ask my oldest how many brothers and sisters he has, she is included in his total … 😂 I have 10+ years of experience walking/pet sitting neighbors, family and friends dogs but im in my second year of pet sitting full time. I can’t express enough the joy it has brought me. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors & everything in between of all sizes. I’m familiar with giving oral medication and have learned how to properly perform CPR on dogs. I fully understand & respect that each animal is different & has their own needs and personality. As well as their owners. This is why my care goes beyond maintaining. I’m full of patience and love & It’s important to me that i strive for comfortability. I have taken on pet sitting full time! My regular returning clients are a priority but i still have plenty of open room for new clients! I understand that for each pet, their wants and needs may vary. I am big on respecting what makes everyone the most comfortable and cared for. I strive to leave your pet feelings enriched and at ease by the end of my visit.

About: I am a former dog owner who's trained a few dogs. I will treat the dog like my own! I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and cuddles! I work full time. Mostly from home. My significant other has an alternative schedule so the dog would be under 24 hour supervision. I can't wait to have a buddy with me throughout the day! I understand how anxious your paw partner may be while you are away -- I am here to console your paw partner until you are back 💕 I live in a single home with a large fenced backyard with a pool they can play in! Great parks and trails nearby. Dogs will have freedom in all rooms of the home. Dog will be supervised 20-24 hours a day. This helps me ensure pet safety and quick turnaround on any changes to health and/or behaviors.

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. From pound puppies to pure bred, from puppy to 17+ years old and everything in between. Currently I have 2 Great Danes, a 1 year old female named Willow and a 2 year old male named Otis, and my oldest pound puppy a 17 year old girl named Spazzy. There are also 3 cats in the house. I've had multiple dogs trained and I'm currently working towards a dog training degree myself. I am able to administrator medication and do minor grooming. I have been around animals my entire life and nothing makes me happier than an animal. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have a 14 year old daughter who also adores all animals. I like taking my pups for walks whenever weather permits and when it's icky out we stay inside and play or snuggle up on the couch. Regardless of whatever fun activity we do we do it together and I'm available 24/7 to ensure your pet gets the same level of love, affection, and care as my own. I do not have a fenced yard and although I am located out in the country with a large area to run people do speed past the house so leashes will be used unless otherwise requested. My dogs are fed on a twice daily schedule and I can maintain that or feed on whatever schedule you currently work on with your pet. I am also able to administrator medication to your pet and provide minor grooming if need be. Whatever you and your pets need I'll do my absolute best to provide in a safe and loving environment.

“Caitlin was great to work with on Rover. Excellent communication, on time for Tut’s walk and he was worn out when he got home. Will definitely work with her again!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

About: I’ve been a animal lover my whole life. I grew up on a farm and took care of many animals. I will always do my best to make sure your pet is loved and well taken care of. I work a very flexible schedule and will do my best to be available whenever I am needed. I will always put your pets as a top priority. I will always work around your pets personal needs and do everything I can to make sure they are happy and well taken care of

About: I’m 66 but I’m a young 66 year old women. I’d be honored to take care of your pets! I’d take care of them as if they were my own!

Night or day! I will follow your instructions closely and obey your house rules. I have many experiences with house sitting and pet sitting and pet sitting within my own home!

“Kat was wonderful with giving real-time updates and photos of my pup during their walk! She also made sure he had a fresh bowl of water following their walk.”

About: I’ve had pets nearly my whole life and have been known to struggle to walk past an animal in need. This means rescuing an injured squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk, an opossum, and more, going the extra mile even when it was deeply inconvenient for me to do so. I also grew up attending zoo camp and then volunteering at a zoo from age 5 to 14, caring for a wide range of animals. I have worked with high energy pitties, a blind and anxious German shepherd, birds, cuddly kitties, fearful kitties, diabetic kitties, rabbits, and others. I have administered shots, IVs, medications, eye drops, and more. I am persistent and typically can win over even the shyest and most anxious fur baby. I have a genuine love for caring for pets and would be honored to care for yours! I am currently carefully thinking about my next full time role and working part time. My partner is an immigrant seeking employment during a time when that is extremely difficult due to the political situation. Any supplemental income is incredibly helpful for me as we navigate. I have a reliable vehicle, plenty of time to play with your pets, and love to love on them. I have a reliable car and I keep my word. I am communicative, honest, and truly love animals. I take direction well and understand that every pet has their specific needs. I don’t cut corners and do my best to provide top notch care, always.

About: Hello: I have a lifelong passion for animals, particularly dogs, developed through years of personal experience as a dedicated pet owner since childhood. Growing up with pets instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, compassion, and attentiveness to animal well-being. In addition to being a devoted pet owner, I am also a nurse, which strengthens my ability to provide informed, detail-oriented, and safety-focused care. I am deeply committed to caring for dogs both holistically and medically, taking a balanced approach that supports their physical health, emotional wellness, and overall quality of life. I value preventive care, proper nutrition, and natural wellness practices, while fully understanding the importance of routine veterinary care, medical treatments, and ongoing health monitoring. My healthcare background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or condition, administer care responsibly, and prioritize safety at all times. I take pride in providing patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate care, ensuring every dog feels safe, healthy, and genuinely loved. I hope you & your fur baby are doing well. I am available Mondays- Sundays for drop in visits. I’m available Mondays-Sundays for boarding at my home. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every aspect of pet care, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and builds trust with both pets and their families. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure all spaces are pet-safe, free from hazards, and appropriately supervised. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I provide structured feeding times, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest to support their physical and emotional well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions exactly as given. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, monitor behavior and health closely, and provide updates to ensure peace of mind. I am attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and respond promptly and responsibly. I am experienced in both holistic and medical care, including administering medications as directed, monitoring health changes, supporting proper nutrition, and providing gentle, natural wellness practices when appropriate. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life growing up. In terms of dogs had a yellow lab, golden retrievers, mutts. I’ve also had many cats growing up and a wide variety of other pets, such as Guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs and even pigme goats. I have also been very active in taking care of all of my families pets. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats. One of my dogs is a Newfie mix and almost pulls my arm off whenever I walk him. So if I can handle walking him I’m sure I can handle waking any dog! I have also worked at a petting zoo and on a private farm taking care of animals. I am a huge animal lover and will take the best care of your pet! I’m currently working part time and in graduate school online so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! I’m available weekdays and weekends! When I am stopping in for a home visit or walk I will be sure to follow any and all instructions left for me and take superb care of your pet! I always make sure to leave the house neat and clean, send updates throughout my time with your pet and give them lots of affection!

“Drew is great! He followed all of my instructions and took great care of my baby. He clearly knows how to handle big dogs (Bruce is a Doberman). Will definitely hire again next time I'm out of town for work!”
