Dog Sitting in Richmond

“Christine has been a favorite Rover representative for us. We are a repeat customer of hers and will continue to call upon her care whenever able. Her sincere concern and care of our shar pei, Tricksy, has been of great relief to us. Christine’s communication is consistent and informative. We feel confident in leaving our unique 10-year puppy with her every time and can recommend her (with enthusiasm) to others.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was a child. I have had 3 dogs and 5 cats in my life to date. I have worked at potty and trick training. When others say their animals are scared of new people, they are attracted to me. I currently work Monday through Friday. I can work nights usually after 5 pm, anytime during the weekend hours and the occasional last minute weekday. I live in a quiet neighborhood and love to go for walks. I would love to take your pet with too! I am very reliable and I’m here to help with any of your pet care needs. I keep my home clean and tidy and I would help to maintain this in your home as well for your pet care needs.

About: If your dog loves to run around and play then this is the place for you! Let your dog come hangout and enjoy 2 acres of fenced in yard. 2nd generation pet sitter from Wonder Lake Nicolette has grown up helping her mother do this for over 25 years. We have been watching dogs for 5 years. We have trained many dogs throughout our lives including basic house obedience to running field trials with hunting dogs. We would like to offer our home and large yard to your animal while you’re on vacation or hard at work. We like to say if you are going on vacation send your dog on vacation! We also like to say a tired dog is a well behaved dog and with all the running and playing we can make that happen! We are very easy going, loving animal parents. We will treat your pups like they are our own! Free roam of the house, no crates used unless otherwise specified. We have backgrounds in Paramedicine and a dog salon. Making meds, baths, nail trimming, ear cleanings all easy to knockout when your animal stops by. Nicolette is home all times making pick up and drop off services available. You can expect the animals to not be left alone for any extended period of time if any at all. Open floor plan with many dog beds/ napping areas. We have 2 labs and a Bernese mtn dog who are very nice and playful. We do have 2 kennels and a spare bedroom if your dog needs quite time or needs to be separated if we were to leave the house.

“Emily was amazing! Our dog is typically skittish of everyone but she loved Emily right away (and so did we!). Our dog is also a little quirky but Emily didn’t mind at all. I would (and will) ask Emily to care for our dog in the future. I can’t say enough good things about how terrific Emily is!”

“Gretchen is the best! She helped us out on very short notice over a holiday week with no hassle. Our dogs were loved on and well taken care of while we were gone. Gretchen is very trustworthy and kind,”

“Ayla was a great sitter for my dog and senior cat for a long weekend. She came for an interview before the booking where she was pleasant to talk to and my dog warmed up to her a bit. During the booking, she took great care of our babies. Her communication was excellent. Will definitely book again.”

“I was really nervous leaving my 9 month month old kitty and 18 year old cat at home for 5 days while i was gone, but Rachel was such a wonderful sitter, and provided me with wonderful photos and thoughtful, detailed updates while i was gone that really put my mind at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Rachel really went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well taken care of, played with and happy. She even brought a few toys and treats for them to play with! And my 18 year old cat needed a topical medicine in her ear each day, which Rachel applied to her no problem… meaning my cat really trusts her. I almost think my cats were a little disappointed to see me instead of Rachel opening the door when i got home yesterday haha! Thanks so much Rachel - we will absolutely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!! I highly recommend her :)”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Raised a wonderful chocolate lab puppy and two kitties. Birds like me too. You’re bets will be in excellent care :) I work from home, take my dog Athena for lots of walks and get to play with her in the park every day. My two cats are always wanting attention and get plenty of it. I have a flexible work schedule which is great for taking care of pets. My dog and two cats get to spend a lot of time with me and get plenty of care. I will take care of yours just like I take care of mine.

About: I've been a dog lover since I was a child! I have a great 'dog energy' and I'm very good with Senior Dogs and dogs with medical issues due to my own experiences. My most recent dog was 18 years old when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I'm reliable, compassionate, patient and I love all animals! I have recently retired from the healthcare field, have an open availability and I'm very flexible. My priority is to be there for you and your pets needs! I have a respectful approach to working in homes due to the healthcare profession where I was a home-based caregiver. I am trustworthy and I will always be respectful of your home.

“She came in as agreed and my pets seemed to LOVE her. Thx much Ella for caring for my babies. Much appreciated. ❤️”

About: I absolutely adore being around animals. I started working in a vet and got a ton of great hands on experience. That means Ive seen it all. Dogs that are shy, hyper, scared, aggressive, happy, they come in all shapes and sizes. One thing I’ve noticed in dog care is they all need patience, and I’ve got a lot of that when it comes to those furry, tail wagging babies. Now, I’d like to take that experience into dog walking/sitting. I’ve grown up having 4 dogs at a time of all breeds ranging from Dochsund to a giant Doberman. I currently have a 5 year old pup named Darla, a Doberman puppy named Stella, and a little kitty named Ace. I look forward to giving your pet/pets lots of love and a healthy, active day while your away! I work from home. I will not be available all hours of the day, but daily drop in visits for a walk or weekend visits would fit just fine with my schedule. I like to enjoy outside or backyard play if accepted at your home. If there is not a fenced yard, we can enjoy the smells of the neighborhood on a nice walk!

About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping friends and neighbors with dog sitting and dog walking whenever they need me. I also have a 9 year old dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibilities of caring for a pet. I love being around dogs and giving them lots of attention! I am currently home for the summer from college and will be working part time as a waitress, so I will have plenty of time for dog walking! I will take every safety measure there is when it comes to doggies such as making sure the doors are closed, the fence is closed, keeping them on the leash, and helping them feel comfortable.

About: I've been taking care of my own animals since I was 9 and have watched my neighbors and other family dogs ever since, I spend lots of time with the dogs while still working my own job. I love getting to know the dogs! I currently work a part time jobs but will be able to manage my job with playing with your pets and spending time with them while you're away! I care for clients pets by allowing for them to have time to run around, swim (if they like water), and by taking them on nice adventure walks! I also give the pets lots of attention when I'm there!

About: Your pet will treated just the same as my own 2 year old pup, Mochi. They will be treated when they are doing things positively, shown affection for good deeds, and praised when they listen. I am here to help you bring out the best in your pet & share with you what I observe during my time with them. All of our pets are near and dear to our hearts. I promise to care for them with respect, dignity, & compassion. If you would like your dog to have some extra social time with Mochi, he is always available for playing, chasing and sniffing. My goal with your pet is to help them learn to trust you more and give them a positive role model to follow.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly treat every pet like my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re at work or away on vacation. I’m a mom of two who works from home, which allows me to have a flexible and reliable schedule. I’m available for pet care between 8:00am–2:30pm and again from 4:00pm–8:00pm most days. Because I’m home based, I’m able to consistently show up on time, provide dependable care, and give your pets the attention they need during the day while you’re at work or away. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always treat any pet with respect, care, and attention to detail. I follow all instructions closely, keep doors secured, and make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable at all times. I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether that means giving them space or extra attention. I also provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for just like they would with you 🫶🏻
