“Nick (Xinhao) came through on a last minute holiday request and he took wonderful care of GG for multiple days while I was out of town. He send regular detailed updates with photos without me having to ask. He also graciously accommodated an unavoidable delay on my part during drop off and was more understanding than I could have hoped! Will certainly ask him again if he is available.”

“Ginger was amazing with Penny! Penny can be a bit anxious when staying with new people but she made her feel right at home from the start. She sent regular updates and made sure she had plenty of exercise. I felt really comfortable leaving penny with her and would highly recommend her to others!”


“Emeline was a great sitter for our maltipoo while we were away on vacation for 12 days. Emeline was very welcoming to us when we first met with her, and we could tell she was confident in her ability. Emeline kept us up to date each day with a note and a picture of the days activities, which helped us know our dog was being well taken care of. We will use her again! Thanks Emeline!”

“Our dog Clover had a great time with Alexis! She was super attentive and sent us update photos and videos throughout Clover’s stay. Would definitely book again!”

“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”

“Hands down the best Rover experience I’ve ever had! The meet and greet was incredibly thorough. I felt completely at ease leaving my two dogs in Brinyedi’s care. Throughout their stay, I received tons of updates and adorable photos that showed just how happy and well-cared-for they were. I’m officially a forever client. My dogs will always be staying with Brinyedi while my husband and I are away.”
“Jake was very easy to communicate with and it was clear our pup was treated very well during her stay with him. We really appreciated him watching her on relatively short notice and we would definitely reach out to Jake again in the future.”
“Eric and Raz were wonderful!! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with them. Highly recommend and hope to use them again the next time we’re in Philly!”

“Bean loved Kerry and so did I! She sent me the sweetest updates and was flexible with me when I had unforeseen circumstances and needed to adjust pickup timing. She was also patient with bean when she became fussy, ‘spicy bean’ can be a handful so I really appreciated that!”

“Joy was great with my dog! Very responsive and sent me lots of pictures. She also assisted with pick up and drop off, and my dog came home happy. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. :)”


“Maryori was the perfect choice for our fur baby Bentley. She was very warm and welcoming, and she made our boy feel right at home. He spent his birthday with her and she went out of her way to buy him a few gifts and treats which we appreciated very much! I will definitely book her again.”

“Kristina does such a great job with Oli, who clearly loves hanging out at her home while we are away. Kristina sends lots of pictures of her long daily walks and playtime at home.”

“Jen was fantastic. It was our first time leaving our pup for an extended period of time and Jen made sure to give us an update every day with pictures. She was an excellent communicator before and during our scheduled trip. She was super flexible about our pick up and drop off times since we were on the road and didn't have a firm time, which made us able to travel with ease! Her home is a wonderful home for animals of all kinds and your pup will be well cared for and in for a fun time with her two lovely dogs. We highly recommend Jen and will leave our dog with her again without hesitation.”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was attentive to his every need. He was spoiled rotten. I really don’t think he wanted to come home. We highly recommend her. You won’t regret it.”

About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).
Richmond dog parents share their Rover experiences
Danielle was great with my reactive senior dog while I was out of town. This was my first time leaving him for an extended period of time, but I felt comfortable that he was in good hands. She sent daily updates and paid close attention to his care instructions, which included daily medications. I would definitely rebook with her for future trips.

Maryori was the perfect choice for our fur baby Bentley. She was very warm and welcoming, and she made our boy feel right at home. He spent his birthday with her and she went out of her way to buy him a few gifts and treats which we appreciated very much! I will definitely book her again.

Sarah was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly responsive to Annie’s personality, followed every little instruction carefully, and even went above and beyond by buying her food when it ran out. After being apart for 20 days, I was so relieved to come back and find Annie in the best spirits. It was clear she was well cared for and loved. Thank you so much, Sarah!

Marquis took great care of Gent while I was away for 5 days. Sent updates and checked in periodically. Was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would 100% use him again in the future. With Gent being a high energy Malinois and not for everyone, Marquis was up for it, and welcomed the challenge. Can’t thank him enough for such a simple seamless experience

My dog has stayed with Mia (and her new friend Diesel) twice now - once for an extended trip and once for a short overnight. Mia sends very thorough updates (especially helpful when my pup was having some tummy troubles while we were traveling). And she also came in clutch when I needed a super last minute booking! Thanks Mia!!!
