She was amazing. She kept the house intact and tidy. Both pooches loved her energy. She followed all my requests to a tee. Would definitely be using Cearra again in the very near future!

Anna was extremely communicative and provided consistent updates while she watched my two pups during an out of town trip. I could tell through every photo and video she shared that the dogs were very well taken care of and comfortable. I would definitely book Anna again for future requests!

Sophia is wonderful! We felt very at ease leaving Walker in her care. She sent us regular updates and adorable pictures each day. Our dog seemed to have a wonderful time with her and she left our house spotless. I can’t recommend her enough and we would certainly rebook her services for Walker.

Madlyn is awesome. She was quick to respond to our request for a pet sitter and was very accommodating to our schedule. Madlyn took very good care of our special needs miniature poodle. Madlyn administered required medications twice a day, mixed up special dietary food twice a day and made sure our dog had plenty of potty breaks. She also took the dog for a walk in the afternoon as requested. Madlyn was also very respectful of our home and even made the bed before departing on her last day. We returned from vacation to a happy, well-cared for dog. Highly recommend Madlyn for your pet's care and your peace of mind.

Jessica was absolutely fantastic! She watched our best boy, Boomer, this weekend & he loved her. They went for trail walks & he got lots of loving. It was comforting knowing we were coming home to a happy pup! Highly recommend!!

Chelsea stayed at our house with our cat Rascal for 10 days while we were out of the country. She was a great house guest and Rascal clearly warmed up to her given the photos of him snuggling on her lap. Definitely recommend her services!

Michelle did a great job with our geriatric cats. Medications were properly administered and the cats quickly warmed up to her. She also kept us informed with texts and pictures and dealt with some unscheduled package deliveries.

Our 2 dogs loved Alex from the moment they saw her. We left them for 6 days and Alex stayed with them night and day. They were so relaxed & healthy upon our return. Our neighbors reported that every time they saw the dogs, they were their normal happy selves. Our house was as clean as we had left it. We will definitely use Alex again.

Laura was so sweet and kind with Piper. She made an effort to meet her before I booked her time, she was really hands on from the moment they met and sent pics with her updates. I will absolutely be asking her to watch my pup again!

Bianca watched my two senior dogs and my cat for me for 4 nights and was great! My pups are a little high maintenance in their older age and she handled all of their quirks (and many medications). She took great care of my place and my animals. Will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone!

I would hire Harrison to watch my pet while traveling. She is amazing. She would send me pics and regular updates so I knew my baby was ok. My pet LOVES her. She took to her right away. I would highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet.

About: I’m a long-time animal lover and aspiring zoologist/wildlife conservationist. I am a third year college student at Reynolds Community College. I Although I own 3 cats and a lizard, I have volunteered at the Richmond SPCA for a year, walking and feeding pups. Also, I dogsit for friends, family and referrals. I am currently working at Four Paws Pet Resort, which is a daycare/boarding facility for strictly dogs. I’ve been working there for three years & I love it! Since working there, I have learned a lot about dog behavior and how to administer meds! Also, how to clip their nails. No, I am not a dog trainer but I love teaching pups the basic commands such as sit, shake, lie down, etc. (With treats, of course.) I love all dogs, any size, any age and I can’t wait to take care of your pup! I love on them and treat them as if they’re my own! I have three days off during my work week specifically for walking/taking care of dogs! Also, for plenty of free time to spend with them! Unfortunately, I don't care for pets in my own home due to the fact that I have 3 cats and not enough space to take them in!

Audrey is a delight! She is responsive, caring, and cheerful. She cared for multiple pets, some of whom have very specific needs. She was happy to do the "cleaning up" chores without any hesitation or complaint. She genuinely likes pets and played with them and spent quality time just hanging out with them. My pets were very happy!

Paige is a true lover of animals. She takes excellent care of our animals and enjoys spending extra time visiting with them. She is willing to accommodate our dogs’s picky eating and loves offering to take him to the park to play when he’s too rambunctious.

About: I have my own dog, Tico, that I have taken care of since 2020. He is a bigger dog and I take him on walks often. I also walk my neighbors dog which is a golden doodle occasionally as well. I am able to control situations with both large and small dogs in many situations. For the past 4 summers I have pet sit for my family members while they have been out of town for vacation. I also have a cat Stormy and had another cat Oreo since I was 6. In 2019 I was take care of a bearded dragon named Lizzo from a family member who was moving away for college, but when she came back from college Lizzo when back to her. I am able to change litter boxes, feed, bathe, and water cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even bearded dragons. I am currently in college and my classes are Monday-Thursday from 8:30am-1pm, so I would be available these days anytime after 1:30. I also work Friday- Sunday from 8:30am until around 4, so on these days I would be available anytime after 4:30. With my dog Tico I spend all the time with him that I can and always attend to the things he needs. I also help take care of my neighbors during the day by stopping by to let her out and feed her lunch while they are at work.
