“Susan is amazing and made our anxiety-inducing first drop off at doggie day care way easier! Easy communication and planning and she and her dog made mine feel right at home. Loved how many updates and pictures she sent us too! Our dog seemed happy and tired afterwards.”
“Riley loved spending the day with Dawn and got loads of play time with her other dogs, she was lovely and made us feel super comfortable leaving her for the day. Will definitely be going back again!”
“Shareem was kind and understanding of my schedule and she loved Monroe like her own! Monroe was happy and playful every time I picked her up! Would highly recommended and would be grateful to have her take care of my fur baby in the future!”
“Chelsea provided great daycare services for my puppy. Sent pics and always provided updates during pick-up about how his day went and any pertinent things she noticed which is super helpful since I am still learning my new pup as well.”
“We were so pleased at how Alethea cared for our nervous dog Echo. She was onboard with getting to know Echo in advance and taking time out of her day to stop by and visit prior to the “official” pet sitting we needed. Her frequent updates as to how the pet sitting was going, allowed us to relax while we were hosting an event. We highly recommend Alethea, she is wonderful and your animals would be lucky to have her for walks or doggy day care! Thanks Alethea!”
About: I am experienced with a golden retriever since he was a puppy and a saint bernard back home. I have been with dogs from many years and also I have taken care and been sitter for several family dogs and few neighborhood dogs as well. I have experience working with pets who are nervous around new people and get them comfortable.I am an avid fan of long walks and find taking four legged friend with me which also motivates me & also relieve pet’s stress. I also carry their water bottles and treats and takes them to dog park to play with new friends if ok with owners. I know how much anxiety can come with leaving your fur baby alone, be it for a day or an extended vacation bacause I have experience with leaving my own sometimes. I am concerned to make sure your pet has everything that he needs and I always want to make sure he never feels sad, scared or alone. I will communicate with you frequently and will keep sharing pictures and status with you. I want to do very best to give you and your pet with peace of mind! I have always considered them my family members and all of us at home likes to treat them as such like regular members and feel at home. My lap is always available for cuddles and naps. I am not working right now and I have time for boarding and playing with pets. I can board them even on short notice sometimes and would love to squeeze additional help. I have crate xxl size. I don’t have fenced yard but I can walk with them in yard also I have fenced deck so pet can roam there and watch outside however is liked.
About: I love animals and dogs tend to be loving towards me. I love hanging out with them. I have had dogs all my life and I miss hanging out with them.

Right now I'm home most of the day and am able to care for animals all of the time I only work 3 days a week away and work from home Thursdays and Fridays so have plenty of time for the dogs.

“Zadie enjoyed her day stay at Andreea's today. The shady back yard was a perfect exercise spot in this hot, muggy Richmond weather. Andreea let me know via message that Zadie wasn't so interested in her food, which she made up for when she returned home! Guess she was having too much fun interacting with Andreea's two pups to think about eating. Smooth booking, arrival and departure.”
