About: I am a firm believer that dogs are our best friends. Dogs deserve all the love and devotion they show us. I would love to drop by for a quick visit or a walk, or if you need care for longer my wife and our dog Belle would love to host your furry friend. Our backyard, quiet neighborhood, and proximity to the James River Park System is perfect for play time and longer walks. If you’re looking for a reliable friendly caretaker and or a fun place to stay for your pet, look no further. This is my full time commitment at the moment so pet care will be my top priority. My dog Belle gets all of the attention and won’t mind sharing. I have a fenced in yard at home that I share with my wife and our dog Belle. When it’s not too hot Belle gets a long walk every day, and can go in and out to the yard as she pleases. I will ensure I give the same level of care to your dog as I would my own both in and out of my home.
19. Alyssa & Chris B.
“Alyssa did a great job. She meet with my cat daily and played with him. She sent me daily messages letting me know how he was doing and informing me on if he was eating and drinking. Really appreciated all the information. Would book with her again !”

About: I am certain your pup will get the love and attention they need while they come stay with me! I have been dog sitting for about 7 years now. PLEASE READ Due to unexpected situations I have been put thru I am un able to watch dogs that have not been fixed. 8/10 times they have been too dominant and acted strange towards my dog who is fixed. I apologize in advance. I also would grateful appreciate if you have to cancel I know 1 week in advance so I can make other arrangements. I typically watch one dog at a time to ensure your pet is getting the love and attention they need. I understand things happen and plans get canceled but just letting me know as soon as possible will help allow me to make room on my calendar for another dog. I work from home so I will be around to keep an eye out and play with your dog(s). I have a fenced in yard as well with a big back yard for them to run around. I am also off 3 times a week so I can take your dog out for more adventures activities on those days. I have multiple rooms in the house to close off. We also have a medium sized crate if we must separate animals apart if need be. I will also be sure to send photos of your sweet fur baby
