Dog Sitting Richmond

About: I have been fascinated with canines since childhood! 🐾 To get down to specifics, wolves are my passion and through that passion I gained a love and respect for man’s best friend. I have always been the “dog encyclopedia” for my family and friends, and am always quick to offer advice and assistance when needed. I have been a pet caregiver and dog sitter for over a decade. I love to built strong relationships with my clients and their pets, who I treat like my own! I’m familiar with potty training, socialization, positive reinforcement training, and medication management for geriatric dogs. 🐾 From puppies to well-loved seniors, they all hold a special place in my heart!! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a student and part-time dog sitter for two families that I have known for years, so my schedule is very flexible! In your home, I will do my best to maintain your typical schedule and routine with your dogs to ensure their comfort while you’re away! I do yard checks to maintain safety, discuss your dogs boundaries, and prefer to have meet ups with you and your dog(s) before the dates of my services (:

“It is so difficult to find a pet sitter who can deal with giant breeds (particularly a hyper puppy). Aundria was patient and professional. She kept me informed and sent photos/videos of our baby. Will definitely hire again! A+ experience.”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens and other birds my whole life, more than 40 years. I’m a retired teacher and empty nester and I’m home most of the time so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention! I’m retired so I’m home and available almost all of the time. I’d rather be at home with furry friends. They’ll get lots of love and attention with me. I have a large fenced yard and a one story house with wood floors. I’m an empty nester so it’s just me and my service dog at home. There’s no kids around just me and my sweet dog.

About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with over 4 years of professional experience working at a pet daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have specialized training in safe dog walking techniques and canine behavior, allowing me to confidently handle everything from energetic puppies to shy or reactive dogs. I'm also certified in Pet CPR, so your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether your furry friend needs a fun walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate, and personalized care that gives you complete peace of mind. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I currently work a full-time job from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, but I have a very flexible schedule and can easily take time off when needed for pet care. I'm also able to come home during my lunch break to provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or check-ins, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods. I do my best to accommodate each family's needs and will always communicate my availability clearly. Whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I'm committed to making sure your pet receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. With over four years of professional experience in a pet daycare and boarding facility, I've cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. My specialized training in dog behavior and handling, combined with my Pet CPR certification, allows me to respond calmly and confidently in any situation. I always maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment, whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care routines to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. During walks, I use safe handling techniques, stay alert to our surroundings, and prioritize your pet's well-being at all times. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and the highest level of care.

“Vytrinh did great with my two young dogs! One of my pups has anxiety and she was very patient with him, so he warmed up to her quickly. My other pup was very excited but she was prepared for his energy. I would book her again!”

“Nicole was a perfect choice for My cats left behind during the Christmas holiday. She was on-time, and handled the cats without concern. Highly recommend”

About: My love for animals has given me experience in pet sitting with cats and dogs. I had two childhood dogs that taught me everything I know about pet care. Before my neighbor moved away, I would drop by her house after school to check on her cat while she was at work. As I got older, my mom would recommend me to her clients from her cleaning service when asked if she knew any pet-sitters who could watch their dogs or cats for a couple of hours, weekends, or on holidays. And while in college, I pet-sat and walked my roommates' dogs whenever they needed it. My experience as a pet sitter ensures that your beloved family member will be safe and content while in my care. I am available for full-time house sitting any day of the week or drop-in visits/walks Monday through Friday from 11 am to 6:30 pm. But I am willing to accommodate earlier or later times. I will follow your pet's schedule to the second to ensure they are happy and healthy while in my care. If anything happens or I have questions, I will contact you immediately.

“We left our furbies with Claudia for 7 days while we were out of the country. I could tell quickly from the meet and greet that our pups would be in great hands. The report cards and narratives quickly put us even more at ease. She knows our dogs tendencies better than we do! The pictures that were sent were SO CUTE. I really don’t know how she does it but hope to book Claudia on future trips and definitely recommend her for any pet sitting - top notch!”

“Took good care of Brooklyn for me.”

About: I've had dogs since I was 8 years old. I've always had a big heart, so I took the role of main caregiver for my pups and my kitty; I walked, fed, and cleaned them which continued into my adulthood as I've been a committed carer for friends' dogs. For a short time (4 months), I moved to Mexico and was a live-in dog carer for two puppies: a Yorkie and Bichon Frise! I also became dual carer for my partner's three dogs of varying ages and we rescued and raised a beautify cat together. I also know what it means to lose your beloved pal as I've had experience with caring for aging doggies and sitting with them as they passed over the doggy rainbow. I currently work full-time with special needs kids from 8-5 daily. I'm available for drop-ins after work, overnight stays and I have full weekend availability! I am available for walks and stays at your home. My care for your home will reflect the deep care I have for your pet. I would love know what you freel comfortable with in your home and integrate your needs as I make sure your pet(s) are well cared for!

“Patme took great care of my two cats. She provided daily updates, including pictures, and engaged with both of them. I appreciate her attention to detail with the instructions I provided as well. I would book with Patme again and recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve always had a pet at home, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and even a frog, and I currently share my space with a friendly 3-year-old Yorkie and a curious little lizard. Every animal I’ve cared for has taught me something new about patience, communication, and love. As a college senior, I balance my studies with daily walks, feeding schedules, and playtime for my Yorkie. Managing school and pet care has helped me become extremely reliable, organized, and attentive to every detail, qualities I bring to every pet I watch. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my ability to make each pet feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s a shy dog, an energetic puppy, or a pet with special routines, I take the time to understand their needs and make them feel at home while you’re away. Now that my soccer season is over, my schedule is much more flexible, even though I still work part-time at Petco. I have classes during the day, but I’m free after 3 p.m. on weekdays and completely open on weekends. I’m also off on Fridays, which gives me extra time for longer walks, drop-ins, or weekend stays. Even with a busy schedule, I make pet care a top priority. Balancing school, work, and caring for my own Yorkie has taught me how to stay organized and dependable. You can always count on me to be punctual, communicative, and attentive to your pet’s needs. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in an apartment, but I make sure my 3-year-old Yorkie, Zeus, stays active and happy, he gets walked 2-3 times a day and we go to the dog park as often as possible. That means visiting pets can expect plenty of outdoor time, walks, and safe play under my supervision. When caring for pets in my home, I keep the space clean, calm, and pet-friendly. Zeus is social and gentle with other dogs, which helps create a relaxed, welcoming environment. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect as my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, make sure doors and gates are secure, and send regular updates with photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets of all personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and providing companionship. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make time to provide reliable, attentive care. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and work to ensure pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routines while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, pay attention to each pet’s needs, and provide a calm, caring environment. I understand the importance of trust and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“This is the third time I’ve booked Britteny! I have upmost trust in her taking care of my fur babies! I know when I’m away, there are no worries about whether my babies are being cared for well! I will definitely book again and you should too! Thank you Britteny!”

“Sabra was great with our dog and very professional! She sent multiple pictures along with a written overview for each visit to our house. We felt very comfortable and knew our dog was in good hands. I 100% recommend her and we will definitely be using her again! Thanks so much Sabra.”

“Esmerelda is great at what she does, my dog warmed up to her very quickly and they had fun together. She's a really sweet lady and easy to talk to. This is my first time using the app but feel so comfortable leaving my puppy in good hands with Esmerelda.”
