“She is excellent! I highly recommend her for dog sitting. She kept in communication with me throughout the entire dog sitting. She sent me pictures of cuddling with my dogs which I really appreciated. She also took good care of my home while I was gone. She is awesome and I would recommend her to everyone.”
“I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!”
“Kylie was great! She was on time and professional. She cared for our dog like she was her own. She asked all the right questions and sent us updates during the time we were gone!”

About: I love animals, especially doggos! I grew up around dogs, and I have been house and dog/cat sitting since I was a teenager (20ish years). I will ensure your animals are cared for, comfortable, and loved! I primarily work remotely, which means I’m usually available during the day to check in, except when I’m staffing events at work. On weekends, I’m quite flexible and can easily check in with our fur babies as often as needed! Unfortunately, I can only provide care, sitting, and walking at your home. My apartment does not allow pets at this time, but I have a flexible schedule!
“Cameron was an absolute delight! She took wonderful care of my boys and gave great updates! The house was tidy upon my return. She really went the extra mile. I highly recommend Cameron and will definitely be using her again.”

“I'm almost afraid to leave an honest review. BECAUSE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOOK HIM AGAIN! And I don't want him to be too busy. He did a wonderful job with our dog and our house. Saxon got all the exercise he needed, then apparently slept the afternoon away. Our home looked exactly how we left it. Maybe even better. Finn came for a meet and greet with Saxon and asked great questions about what Saxon likes and does not do, or should no do. We were very pleased and would definitely book him again.”
About: As a true animal lover who misses her pets while away at school, I’m excited to offer hands-on care for a wide range of animal companions. I’ve raised cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens, and I also work closely with the animal lab at the Science Museum of Virginia in my hometown of Richmond. There, I care for reptiles, amphibians, fish, and even arachnids, giving me both the compassion and confidence to care for exotic pets of all kinds.

Being that I’m a student, I do not offer pet care from my home, however I always have a mindful approach to offering in-home pet care for clients. Don’t hesitate to communicate concerns or boundaries regarding
“Stef was AMAZING with our two dogs! One does not warm up to people right away and yet he loved her! Her energy and attentiveness was perfect.

“Sean took great care of our anxious rescue. She can be a high-strung handful and they got along great! He's a very good communicator and respectful of time and property! Highly recommend.”
“Abigail is attentive, warm and friendly. She asked the right questions about Ripley, our 11 year old Shichon, and our home where she will home sit. Ripley is very cautious and over protective. But when she met Abigail for the first time, she immediately warmed up to her. We will rebook with Abigail again!”
“I highly recommend Vana and we look forward to booking again with her soon. ❤️ She did a wonderful job with our dog Bodhi, taking him on walks, sitting with him at home and bringing him to our dog park. She communicated with us clearly, sent text and photo updates throughout the day and had a wonderful meet and greet to get them introduced to each other. Can’t wait to see you again Vana! 🐶”

Adrian M.
“I have a 4 year old poochon who is a bit shy with strangers and the way he gravitated towards Adriane had me so surprised!! He allowed her to give him a belly rub which I’ve only seen him do to the immediate household members that live in the house. Adriane definitely has a warm and friendly spirit to her that my little guy Cody drew towards. Adriane made sure his feedings were on time. She not only walked him but also took him to the dog park in our neighborhood and sent pictures to update me throughout the day. Cody’s fur is very high-maintenance and needs to be brushed everyday. Adriane took care of that for me and gave me one less thing to worry about when I got home. I highly recommend her services and I look forward to having her watch Cody again!”
