House Sitting Richmond

“Christina was amazing with Bourbon! He can be wary about meeting new people but he quickly trusted and bonded with Christina. She is a great communicator and took excellent care of my home and my gentle giant. Thank you!”

“We are so grateful that Alexandria was able to watch our dog, cat, and house. Our pets a little quirky - we have an anxious dog and a very sassy cat who like things to be their way, and Alexandria was totally accommodating. She handled their medications, multiple foods, and bathroom breaks without an issue and sent lots of updates while she was with them. Our dog in particular can be a hider/runner, so I wanted to make sure he was watched carefully and Alexandra did that and more. Ever since adopting our anxious dog, we have not left him alone with anyone but family because we were nervous how he would react. Alexandria is the first "stranger" he's been with and he took to her immediately, happily cuddling up with her! I look forward to being able to plan more time away knowing that our dog and cat will be well cared for, and knowing that they will be comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend Alexandria to anyone, because if she can handle our pets, she can handle anything!”

“This is the first time I had someone stay in my home to care for Chica. Alexys was great. She came by the house the day before we were leaving for a meet and greet. She arrived on time, stayed one night overnight, washed the sheets and made the bed. That was above and beyond. And Chica was happy. I would definitely use Alexys again and recommend her to anyone need pet sitting/walking services.”

“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”

“Vanessa did a great job watching after Barnaby for the weekend! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout, which brought me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I'd highly recommend her as a sitter.”

About: I started my first dog walking business in my neighborhood when I was 10! I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and can’t wait to meet your baby :) I currently work fully remote and have a very flexible schedule both day and night. I am an aspiring law student and love to travel. Rover is a win win because I LOVE dogs and I love money for law books :) I take safety of animals very seriously and will rely on your instruction and my sound judgement to take the best care of your pup as possible

“Darina was great! She stayed in my home with my dog while I traveled over the holidays. She sent updates twice a day (morning and evening) with pictures and good descriptions of how everything was going. My dog seemed happy in the photos and also when I got home—he even went looking for her the next morning, haha! Darina was diligent about following our typical walking times, and her schedule was perfect to spend lots of time with him too outside of that. She was also tidy and respectful of the space, and she was very thoughtful in cleaning up after her stay.”

“Brittany was awesome with Libby, super information and forthcoming when Lib grabbed something she shouldn’t have had. I am so grateful for her attentiveness and honesty!”

“Olivia was fantastic! Communication was a breeze and she was incredibly patient with us being our first time with the service. She was very eager to make sure our pup was comfortable and stuck to his routine while we were away. Will absolutely rebook with her when the time comes!”

“Hannah did an amazing job watching our puppy. She played with him a lot and kept him very happy. She did a wonderful job keeping me up to date with their daily activities and also sent pictures and a couple of videos which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Hannah if you are in need of a loving and caring pet sitter.”

“I think my toy poodle is smitten with JJ”

David B.

“Logan was awesome. Super communicative with my partner while I was incommunicado, took great care of my house, and even took Ruby on some extra field trips out of the city to stretch her legs. I came home to a very happy and healthy pup. Highly, highly recommend!”

Lydia T.

“Quanece & Malik were available last minute when I needed someone to watch my dog for a few hours. They were responsive, followed all my directions, and sent updates throughout the day. I’ve booked with them a few times, and I would definitely do it again.”

Maya K.

“Princess took great care of my little monster! He had been recovering from some health issues and she went above and beyond, making sure he was eating and well cared for. Will definitely book her again!”

“Best dog sitters ever! 🥹 We have two rescue dogs, who have very unique needs. Haiku in particular we had a lot of anxiety about leaving, and this was our first time having an in home dog sitter for her. She has a somewhat severe case of anxiety, and requires a lot of work, actually being afraid of walks, people, everything really, and especially getting her to use the potty can be so hard because she is stubborn to do anything other than relax in her safe space after previous trauma she’d endured. Most dogs sitters turned us down after hearing about our dogs’ needs and no one else was able to do in home house sitting, and we weren’t even sure we’d be able to leave for the week to visit family. But Anna and Connor ended up being a god sent because not only were they able to house sit but after meeting Anna for the meet and greet I knew she would do a great job. They also must have done such a great job making Haiku comfortable and they were able to have some, what my partner and I would consider “wins” with her such as using the potty in the backyard which we are still working on. It seems like they even went above and beyond, using special feeders to see if she’d eaten and making special time for her to try to get her out of her shell and feeling comfortable/safe. I can stress enough this was no easy feat and leaving the dogs was my biggest stressor going away for a week, but with all Anna and Connor did for our dogs, it ended up being the least of my concerns, because my partner and I knew that our dogs were being treated with the most utmost care. In fact, Snoopy usually sleeps on the couch but was able to sleep in the guest bed while Anna and Connor were staying here so I think for that and other reasons their watching him was actually a treat for him, which is great because our Snoopy has attachment issues and used to really suffer from separation anxiety when I would leave. Not to mention (!) our flight was tragically cancelled in the middle of the night and Anna happened to be awake at 6am (lol) to immediately reassure us she would be able to care for the dogs an extra day while we were stuck in Colorado!!! What an amazing two dog sitters I can’t say enough I am flabbergasted lol. Anna sent me updates and pictures pretty much every day she was watching the pups, and her thorough communication and questions showed her thoughtfulness and care for the animals she watches. I can’t recommend these two enough and if we even travel again I will be quick to book them again if they would be willing to hang with my insane dogs again.”

“We've never left our kitties alone for more than a day or two and when we had to take a longer trip, we asked Porsche to take care of them while we were gone and it was a great experience. Normally whenever we're gone for too long, it's clear that they're stressed. When we got back this time they were totally chill, very "You were gone? Oh, we didn't notice. I'm going back to my nap now." It's was clear from their behavior that she took wonderful care of them and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend Porsche and will be asking her to take care of them in the future if she's willing.”

Kristina F.

“Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)”

“Gregory is absolutely great with my pup. Spent lots of time to give my boy cuddles, took him to his play group and reliable. I have rebooked him a couple times since he's been great.”

Kathy O.

“Makaylah is a natural with animals and was a lifesaver when I had to take an unexpected trip. My dogs can be a bit wild with new people, but she quickly put them (and me) at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos showing all the snuggles and fun, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust her with them again.”

Jennifer L.

“Hanna is amazing. She's super responsible, gave my pup loads of love and took great care of my house, including when the roof started leaking in the rain. She communicates as often as you want, sends adorable pictures and videos and asks questions if she's not sure of anything. My dog has already requested her again. I'll certainly hope she's available next time I need a dog sitter.”
