Dog Sitting Richmond

About: Since I was a little girl I been around dogs. My brothers dad had a Rottweiler so growing up Tyson was always around us. As I got older either friends or family members had pets. Weather it was cats, guinea pigs, hamsters or fishes you name it. I love being around animals it’s so therapeutic and joyful to me. I am available for dog walking Monday-Friday hours btw 8am-8pm. Pet sitting at least a week in advance sometimes last minute is ok with me. I make sure they are fed have they water are taken out for the day twice maybe even three times of the day. If it’s nice out we can go to the park play run around hey active. If we are indoor I can still play and interact with your pet to make sure they are happy.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently care for three pets of my own-as well as chickens, goats, and rabbits- so l'm no stranger to a full house of furry (and feathered) friends! I've also trained dogs before, including puppies, and l'm comfortable handling a wide range of pet personalities and needs. What really sets me apart is the genuine love I have for animals—I'm great at giving pawsome love, belly rubs, and treats (with permission, of course)! Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some chill company, your pets will be in great hands with me! I'm available for pawsome adventures, cuddles, and care any time after 12 PM— five days a week! On the weekends I’m free! Whether your pup needs a morning walk, your kitty wants some midday playtime, or your bunny just wants a snack and a snuggle, I'm here to help. Early riser? So am I! Let's make your pet's day tail-waggingly awesome. How do you care for pets in your home and/or in your client's home? Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I always treat them like family! I follow your pet's routine as closely as possible meals, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that make them feel safe and happy. In my home, pets will have a cozy, clean, and pet-friendly space to relax or play— and when I start offering boarding, they'll have instant playmates! I have one dog and one cat who are both super friendly and love to play pretty much 24/7. They can't wait to make new furry friends! When I'm in your home, I make sure your pet feels secure and cared for in their own environment. I stick to their routine, keep everything tidy, and give lots of love and attention— plus photo updates, so you don't miss a moment!

About: Hello There! I’ve been a loving dog owner since the age of 7. My parents got me a Pomeranian named Chloe and I’ve loved dogs ever since. I have two small pups of my own right now (a Shih-Poo and a Boston Terrier), so I’m used to big personalities in small bodies, lots of energy, and all the little quirks that come with small breeds. I also did a puppy training program with my Poodle-mix, which taught me a lot about building routines, positive reinforcement, and just understanding puppy behavior in general. So whether your dog is still in that wild puppy stage or they just need some extra patience, I have PLENTY of experience. I’m gentle, attentive, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will always be safe, cared for, and paid attention to with me. I send updates, I pay attention to the little things, and I make sure your baby feels comfortable while you’re away. I’m very relaxed, and my dogs have full freedom to roam around their home — and I will make sure guest get that same comfort and freedom while still being safe and supervised. I work from home, so my babies go out every 2 hours for potty breaks, plus a good walk before or after my shift. Your dog will fall into that same routine with me - breaks, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. When time permits, I love taking them to the on-site dog park (only when the dogs are alone though) Your fur baby’s safety is my top priority. My home is clean, calm, and fully dog-friendly. I supervise all play, keep doors secured, and make sure every dog is comfortable, safe, and understood. I treat every dog with patience and respect. I’m gentle, responsible, and I pay attention special attention to their individual personalities to make sure they are comfortable. My babies have free roam in a safe environment, and any dog in my care gets that same comfort while still being watched, loved, and protected. “You can trust that your dog will never be left alone for long, and they’ll always be in a space designed for their safety and peace of mind.

“Jeanette is awesome! Very professional and willing to go the extra mile to provide the great care for pet… I look forward to using her services in the near future. Thanks for taking care of my pups.”

About: I have a 9 month rescue comPAWnion named Ozzy, and he's one of the best thing that's happened to me this year. With his smartness & with my patience, we accomplished the oddest thing. I didn't want to have scratch marks on my backyards door, & Ozzy didn't want to loose his daily treats. So, I was able to teach Ozzy how to use a door bell to go in & out of the house when he needs to go potty. I taught him how to sit, spin, paw, down & still learning till this day! He's also been desensitized to baths, nail trimming, blow drying, & grooming by yours truly. I believe in a high quality of life for our comPAWnions because they're part of the family & needs to be taken care of as you would a human. They're not just pets, they're family. I'm currently a stay at home wife, with lots of time in my hand ;D so I can be readily available for you when you need me! I have a friendly boy named Ozzy who comes with me everywhere I go. If by any means you'd like Ozzy to take a paid day off, let me know I'm sure he won't mind. If your comPAWnion had an accident before my arrival, I don't mind cleaning it up. I get it we all have accidents. (EXCEPT diarrhea)

“She was amazing! I booked a quick 30‑minute drop-in and she went out of her way to walk both of my dogs individually. She was super sweet, patient, and my pups absolutely loved her. I’m so grateful for the extra care — we’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Jenny has been checking on my dog for a while now. We use her regularly. Dax loves to see her, and I always get great pictures of him. She does a great job taking care of Dax! I would recommend!”

“We had a great experience with Sedra! She is reliable, trustworthy, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away for six days. She made sure he was fed, played with him, and gave him lots of attention he clearly liked her and felt comfortable around her. She was also very communicative throughout the entire time, which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely trust her to watch our dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

“Sandy is the best!! She truly loves our dog Lulu and Lulu loves her! That gives us peace of mind when we are on vacation that Lulu is in such great hands! We have been lucky enough to have had Sandy every time we needed her for Lulu! She goes the extra mile, even by leaving us, cute picture, keychains, and refrigerator magnets of our sweet dog!”

I’ve been pet sitting since I was young and have 9 months of professional experience working at a cat lounge, where I cared for 30+ cats at a time. I’ve also volunteered with animals and have experience caring for pets with many different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and love taking the time to understand each pet and make them feel comfortable! I’m currently planning to start college online, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and needs. I’m able to offer plenty of one-on-one attention, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and consistency they’re used to! I have lifelong experience caring for cats and dogs, including 9 months of professional experience working at a cat lounge and years of pet sitting for family, friends, and others.

I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for!

About: Hi, I’m Diana! I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old, and today I have three dogs of my own—a Pit Bull, a Chihuahua, and a Shih Tzu. Having dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities has given me experience with everything from energetic playtime to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’ve also cared for both indoor and outdoor cats, so I’m comfortable with a variety of pets and their unique needs. I believe every pet deserves personalized care, whether that means sticking to their routine, going on walks, playing, or simply providing companionship. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I am currently a full-time student so I have a lot of availability and super flexible with my time. I am available weekdays and occasionally weekends. I have a house and a fence yard where your dog can do its business in peace. There’s also a park near my house where I can walk.

“Fran is great! She cared for our 4 pups with the utmost care and respect. She updated me as soon as she arrived. She sent me photos and gave me behavioral updates. Fran followed our directions for feeding, training and special care for our dogs. Fran also gave me an update as she was leaving to let me know how the visit went. Our dogs seem to really enjoy her company. When I arrived home, I could tell how appreciative our dogs were for Fran’s visit. They were quiet, calm, and acted like they had a fun day while I was at work. Fran is a kind, reliable, and honest animal sitter! Thank you so much, Fran”

“Fantastic sitter! They took great care of our two dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. We felt completely at ease while away and would gladly book with them again. Highly recommend!”

About: I've cared for dogs since I was 8, growing up with a husky and a poodle who were truly part of our family. I'm patient and even-tempered, and I rarely get frustrated, especially with pets. Today my wife and I share our home with our own 2-year-old dog, so caring for a dog is part of our daily life. I'm comfortable with high-energy breeds as well as gentler, calmer dogs. Caring for dogs is already built into our routine because we have our own 2-year-old pup. My schedule is flexible, and I'm available for boarding and daytime. Your dog will get regular walks, meals on their usual schedule, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We live in a first floor apartment with a securely fenced yard, so dogs can play outside safely and there are no stairs to worry about. The neighborhood is quiet and has several small parks within walking distance. My wife and I are both at home with your dog, and we always follow your instructions for feeding, medication, and house rules. Our 2-year-old Westie is a happy, social pup who gets along wonderfully with every dog he meets, they will definitely have a good time!

About: I have taken care of my own dog and 3 cats for multiple years. I pet sat for my friend's pets and my mom’s boss’s cats. I don’t just take care of the animals but I love to try to bond with them. I am calm and know the signs of pets for their emotions besides the basic ones most people know. I go to high school so I can usually take longer care of your pets after school (2:35). If mornings are needed, I can only do as late as 7:30 am. I can do any time on weekends and over summer. I stay in the guest spaces of the household that I am allowed in (living room, kitchen, backyard, etc). I play with the pets to make sure they’re not emotionally neglected. I make sure they’re fed and medications are taken care of. I stay for the amount of time an owner would like me to stay or however long it takes to make sure their pet is properly taken care of.

About: We have been doing this for 7 years. My wife and I have been around animals our whole life- wife attended vet school in Brazil. Pets are kept in there own routine during stay. If you allow them on your couch they are allowed on ours and vice versa. Have 2 kids whom love playing outside with the dogs we watch. We have had experience with multiple dogs with certain allergies or medication needs. Your pet will be well taken care of with us! we spend a lot of time in the yard playing with the kids and going to the park. Dogs can be walked as needed throughout the day as my wife is a stay at home mom. We treat your furry little ones as our own!

About: As most typical people, I love taking care of all doggies… the bigger the better. Going on walks and playing is just as much fun for me as it is for them. I work base off your dogs energy, if they just need cuddles and pats I’ll give them all of that! If they’re the more energetic dogs that love running around, I’ll be sure to get their energy out before you come home. Spending time and taking care of dogs is my ultimate at peace moment that fills me with serotonin despite your own dogs needs! 🫶🏼 I have a hybrid work schedule, some days I’m home all day and when I’m not I’m usually only gone for a few hours. I am open to having your little furry ones spend the night or two or however many haha! ❤️ I live in a gated community next to a pet friendly park in a safe neighborhood. I can easily walk around my own community to get all your fur babies energy out, but if needed, there’s lots of areas and parks for me to visit nearby as well! At your own residence, whatever you would like me to do I am more than willing in order to ensure your overall trust and comfort while taking care of your fur babies.
