About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a mom who worked in the Richmond Animal Shelter & a house full of adopted animals. From my sisters spoiled Pibble baby to my neighbors sweet little Yorkie, I’ve been their go to sitter/walker to watch their babies because they know I’ll love on them like my own fur babies 💕 I love to do Meet & Greets prior to your baby’s walk/drop-in if feasible. Coko & I are available Saturdays & Sundays for Meet & Greets! I am a mom of 3 & we have a Shih-poo named Coko. My babies have all grown up around family dogs and understand to be gentle with fur babies. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly so I’m sure we’ll meet a friend or two on ours walks.
“Meghan was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pups! They were all very well loved and cared for while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent me daily pictures and updates.”
“Egon was great with my senior kitty! Super communicative, asked a lot of questions and followed instructions carefully. My cat was happy and comfortable and snuggly!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and love them! I’m very active and love to go on walks/runs outside. I’ve walked and house sat for dogs many times and would love to help anyone out! I’m currently going to school and have classes, but I usually have breaks throughout the day. I have lots of availability on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, and on the weekend. I can walk/feed/put in crate or do anything else that is needed for your dog. I can take the dog(s) for a walk during the day if needed or stay at home with them while keeping the house clean.
“We were so happy to have Rose stay and care for our dog and cat while we were away. She gave us regular updates and sent pictures. The pets love her! Everything looked great when we returned.”
“Kathleen was an amazing dog sitter for Mabel! She was extremely understanding of our dog's needs and went above and beyond to meet them. She played with Mabel, walked her, and provided consistent updates complete with pictures/videos while we were gone. We would definitely book with Kathleen again!”
About: I grew up around all sorts of different dogs, and I love to play with them. Whether it's a walk, a brushing, or just want me to hang out with them, I'm the girl for you! I will say that I am quite small myself so if your dog is 70+ lbs and/or strong then you may be better finding a different sitter 😅 I am not very strong haha I'm currently between jobs so this allows me to be free basically whenever you need me to be! Plus, this allows me to better create a schedule around your needs :) I will do whatever is needed of me. If you need me for house sitting, I have my own activities to keep me occupied, so no worries about me being nosy :)
“Piper is the best!! Piper stepped in at the last minute when we had an issue with our previous sitter. She gave the pups plenty of love and exercise, and FaceTimed so I could go through their routine and virtually walk her through the house virtually. We truly cannot thank her enough!! To boot, she left the house in immaculate shape. Thank you, Piper ❤️”
“Caroline was great with my dog Poppy. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her time house sitting, and did a great job keeping her safe and happy! Was respectful of my home and kept things clean. Would definitely book with her again!”

18. Seline P.
“Seline is a responsible pet owner. She's owned cats for a few years now (at least since 2020) and regularly takes them to the vet, does routine vaccines, and recently had one spayed. She makes sure her cats are always fed, hydrated, and have plenty of enrichment like toys, cat towers, and treats. I trust Seline to take care of my own two cats, which she has done a few times in the past. She understands instructions well, especially since my two cats have separate diets and must be fed separately.”
