1. Christine K.

“Christine is fantastic. So friendly and caring to our pup and even managed to be nonplussed by the two neighborhood dogs deciding to join in on the walk! Highly recommend her.”


2. Victoria D.
“Victoria is a great groomer, patient, and really listens to her clients. I have known her for many years. Very experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages.”


3. Lucia M.
“On more than one occasion I have had the honor of trusting Lucia to pet sit for me. I have a young friendly cat who requires lots of love and attention throughout her daily life. Lucia has handled caring for her with great responsibility. Lucia is kind and loving with animals, and equipped to handle many different pet emergencies. I have also seen her dog sit and dog walk for other clients. She has a wide array of abilities when it comes to pet sitting. I would 100% recommend her has a pet sitter!”


4. Brooke C.

“As new dog parents, we were nervous to have someone else help with our senior pup. Brooke was great! She communicated well before, during and after and was very reliable. Looking forward to having her come again!”


5. Casey R.

“We are so happy with Casey. She’s on time, she communicates very well, and she leaves detailed descriptions of her walks with Maple! Maple loves her!!”


6. Alisha S.

“Very reliable! Alisha always lets me know well in advance if she’s traveling and communicates very well. She’s great with all of my pets. My dog is one who has to warm up to people.”


7. Alma P.


“She is super communicative and reliable and great with our dog! Highly recommend!”


8. Lou C.


“Lou is great. He's flexible and is great with my big Malamute and Bernese. I work long shifts every once in a while and I have no doubt that they'll be fine while I'm at work when Lou comes over to take them for a walk.”


9. LeAnn G.
“LeAnn has been my go-to dog and cat sitter for some time now. I know that my two rambunctious dogs, Tank and Champ, are always going to be in safe and loving hands when I leave for a short-day trip or a long weekend trip. I love all the photos she sends me of Tank and Champ when she takes them on runs, walks, and hikes. I have truly never known someone who cares so much about animals, and who is so incredibly knowledgeable about the psychology of dogs. Her experience training dogs as a teenager has primed her well for understanding the needs of many dogs. She has also watched my cat, Oliver, who absolutely loves her. She is very communicative, trustworthy, friendly, and reliable. I can easily say that LeAnn's dog, Brisket, is the happiest dog I have known which shows a lot about her caretaking style. I will continue to recommend LeAnn to anyone who is looking for a great pet-sitter.”


10. Heather K.
“Heather was great with my 18 month very active golden retriever, Josie. She loved going on hikes and off leash walks with Heather and River (her friendly pup). When Josie comes back from walks with Heather, she's always tired out. I highly recommend Heather!”


11. Jamie C.

“Jamie was prompt to respond to my last minute request. She arrived when she said she would and walked Dora for an hour as requested. Dora can get a little excited and Jamie handled her well. I appreciate Jamie and would love for her to walk Dora in the future.”


12. Emilie S.
“I work with Emi at a horse stable in Richmond & she truly has a gift with animals. Her attention to detail and care to each horse shines through. Emi has an amazing work ethic and never rushes any tasks she is given. Outside of animals, she is such a lovely and respectful person to work with. I know without a doubt Emi would provide the upmost care & love for any animal she watches over.”


13. Allison D.

“We've used Allison twice for dog walking Zelda and she was excellent both times. Great communication, super reliable, flexible and most importantly really great with Zelda. After each walk she followed up with a quick report on how Zelda did along with a photo - really helpful to get that real-time communication and know that Zelda was well cared for. We would 100% recommend Allison to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter or walker.”


14. Colby W.

“Colby did great with our Basset Hound, Muffin. They both seemed to enjoy each other immediately. They went for a nice walk, and Muffin offered Colby many kisses afterwards as a thank you. Colby seemed to handle Muffin's little antics quite well, and they parted as new friends. Thank you, Colby!”


15. Holly B.
About: I am the go to person in our development for house and pet sitting. I have dealt with dogs and cats my whole life. I have expertise with puppies and kittens to senior animals. I have experience administering meds. I am currently stay at home mom to elementary and middle school kiddos so I have wide flexibility and open to clients needs. I am open to do what is needed to help owners. I will follow clear expectations from owners that are written down and talked about. This will depend on the animals and clients as every situation is different.


16. Claudine N.
“Claudine is an amazing pet caregiver! She has done house-sitting and drop-in feeding for my cat Mongo multiple times. She takes the time to make sure he eats all his food and keeps him company while he does. She also spends time with him after he eats to play or just relax. Claudine is very flexible, reliable and can often help me with last minute requests. I totally recommend Claudine for your pet needs!”


17. Hannah G.

“The sweetest family! Hannah was so patience with my Indy - she could read him so well, very knowledgeable on dog behavior. I joined the first walk to see how Indy would do with her 2 beautiful and sweet pups, because he can be reactive at first but Hannah quickly assessed the situation, guiding her dogs throughout the walk to where Indy was comfortable. I can’t express enough how lucky we feel to have met her family!!”


18. Taylor W.
“Taylor is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter or walker. We have used her on many occasions, the last time for a week-long period. During that time she kept the house clean and tidy and always maintained communication while we were away. Taylor is most reliable and our dogs adore her. Taylor is trustworthy and provides the best care for our pets when we are away.”


19. Christina K.
About: I grew up with many animals, both my own pets, and animals on my grandfather's dairy farm (he was also a vet). I live in the country in Richmond, and have cats, young kids and animals Rover won't let me name in the description...but they provide eggs. We have dogs in our "extended family" and we are well accustomed to dogs but we do not have one ourselves at this time. If your dog is 100% safe with those people and pets and well-behaved, let's talk! Independently insured. I am currently working from home so have a lot of flexibility to pet sit. We enjoy walking and hiking and are happy to take dogs with us. We would need to do a meet & greet to make sure it is a good match. Our yard is not fenced, and we are on a dirt road in the country with woods on the property and surrounding it, so dogs should not be prone to bolting etc. They must be 100% safe with young kids, cats and free range egg producers. No aggressive or reactive dogs please.


20. Emily M.
“Emily has become an irreplaceable part of our lives. Her care for my girl Britney goes beyond just the basics—she treats her like one of her own, and Britney absolutely adores her (and so do I!) She is dependable, kind, and has an intuitive understanding of dogs that gives me complete peace of mind when I leave my pup. Every time Britney is with her, I know she’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. 10/10 recommend her working with Emily :)”
