“Adalía is a phenomenal pup sitter. She loves and cares for our boys just as if they were her own. I cannot express how much we and our boys love her. This is the second time we have requested her services and plan on doing so many more times in the future. When we are out of town we don’t have to worry about our boys when she watches them.”


About: I have five years of professional dog care in many different spheres. I have previously managed two different kennels, groomed many dogs around Richmond, and am K9-CPR certified. I have experience training puppies, adults, and seniors basic obedience, leash manners, and beginner agility. I am well versed in administering medications. Prior to working with dogs as a career, I have experience caring for many dogs over my life, from family pets to petsitting in the neighborhood. I am happy to provide enrichment activities for your animal as well, such as bubble play, doga (dog yoga), or drives to hiking locations. I am committed to being completely available for any of your pet needs! My main focus is comfortable care for your critter, no matter how early or late that may be. I feel that years of experience in caring for animals who are being boarded, hanging out at daycare, or getting a stylish spa day have taught me so much in how to interact and build trust with many animals no matter the situation. I believe a combination of patience, kindness, intuition, and some snackos can really foster a safe, positive environment for everybody.

“Helena was everything we hoped for in a dog and house sitter. I appreciate so much all of the photos, the detailed updates on their time together, and how proactive Helena was with communicating. We cannot wait to be her repeat clients. If you want someone that you can trust that your dog will quickly be obsessed with, look no further. Seriously, thank you so much, Helena!”


“Janei was great! She is super responsive in the app and she was so sweet when we met in person for a meet and greet with Olive. She took great care of Olive and our place while we were out of town and would definitely book with her again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for years, and I'm absolutely ecstatic to meet you and your furry friend! I started out by accompanying my mom on her Rover assignments while in school. We also welcomed Trixie to the family, a 3-year-old mini petite Goldendoodle with a taste for blueberries. Now that I've moved cities, I'm interested in helping others with their furry loved ones. I'm a remote worker, so my flexibility is unmatched. I also enjoy outdoor and active activities, especially when the weather's nice. Thanks for your consideration! I'm a full-time employee for a remote-based, nonprofit news organization, and I'm based in Richmond, VA. I work an early shift (7am-3pm EST), but I have flexibility all day long. Pets under my care have access to a furry-tastic care kit, which includes a water bottle and bowl, snacks, toys, peanut butter and more. Please reach out with any other meeds - I'll be happy to grab them!

“Heidi was absolutely fantastic! Our two pups loved her. Our older dog usually struggles when we’re out of town but with Heidi, our dog did so well! We’ll definitely try to book with Heidi again in the future.”


About: I treat every pet like my own with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I’m comfortable with sticking to specific routines, and providing calming companionship for anxious pets. Whether it’s a playful walk or a quiet cuddle session, I tailor my care to each animal’s personality and needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. I build my schedule around giving pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet’s routine stays consistent. I’m flexible and reliable, which means I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs like last minute bookings, regular visits, or overnight stays. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether they’re in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I follow all provided routines closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and play preferences. I keep the space clean, secure, and calm so your pet can relax in their familiar environment.
