“Devinder has helped us a couple of times while we were on vacation. He is reliable and I feel that my doggies are well care for while I am away.”
2. Kade M.
“Kade was SO great with Kelso! This was my first time using Rover and I felt so much better knowing my pup was in good hands. Kade is very communicative, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond - taking a package in and making sure my pup Kelso has enough water. Definitely recommend!!”
3. Sierra M.
“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”

7. Elizabeth O.
“I’m so grateful to have Elizabeth for our fur-baby Wrigley. She’s not just a dog walker/pet sitter, she’s a true animal lover. She is always punctual, sends me updates and photos, and Wrigley is always thrilled to see her and sad when she leaves! I can tell she genuinely cares about Wrigley’s well being, and she always gives her lots of love. I highly recommend Elizabeth!”

“Alexas is a fantastic dog sitter. She actively listened to the needs of my dog. She ensures that a 30 minute walk is a full 30 minute walk. She is thorough and make sure that your pets get the full attention they need. I have no hesitation in booking Alexas again in the future and highly recommend her”
12. Chloe W.
“Chloe was a life saver! My fiancé and I came to Richmond to do engagement photos and we wanted our dog to be part of the fun. When I reached to Chloe to ask if she could help handle our pup, she was excited and eager to help. Right when we first met, Chloe offered to take Tor for a walk to get his wiggles out while my fiancé and I started our photo session.”

15. Ross & Ava T.
About: I have cared for dogs cats ferrets horses snakes mice from a teenager onwards. Experience with large breed dogs, I’m all for sofa cuddles with all types of animals - my partner and I also work from home with a fenced in back garden! ***As it is summer please make sure your animal Is up to date on flea and tick preventative My partner and I work full time at home, however my job is flexible my dog gets 3 walks a day morning lunch and dinner and that changes based on the weather - to hot we wait until it cools, rainy - we get the rain jacket out. I have a fenced in yard, with ring cams front and back - I have a Great Dane that loves everyone and every animal. I make sure the water is filled anytime I leave and any feeding/snacks are given.
16. Anna F.
“My stubborn hound has never been walked by anyone new to her....but Anna was brilliantly unaffected by this behavior and coaxed jer into good long walks ...Anna really loves dogs and I would trust her to handle whatever comes along!”
17. Colby C.
“Colby was amazing with Phil - I live with two roommates and he agreed to do a meet and greet with us ! He sent me updates and phil was so happy ! 10/10 recommend!”
18. Gaelle Emmanuelle S.
“I cannot recommend Gaelle enough! From the moment I met her, I knew that my dog was going to be in great hands. Gaelle is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable about dogs, and it's clear that she has a deep love and understanding of animals. During Brody & Charlie's stay with her, they were treated like a member of the family. Gaelle provided regular updates and photos of Brody and Charlie and made sure that they received plenty of exercise, love, and attention. Gaelle even went above and beyond to accommodate Brody's specific needs and preferences, which was incredibly appreciated as he is an aging dog. What impressed me most about Gaelle was her professionalism and attention to detail. Gaelle took the time to understand Brody and Charlie's personalities and needs and made sure that they were comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay. Gaelle's home was clean, safe, and well-maintained, and she followed all of my instructions and requests to a tee. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better dog-sitting experience, and I will definitely be using Gaelle again in the future. If you're looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and knowledgeable dog sitter, look no further than Gaelle!”
19. Robin R.
“Robin is great! She takes Miller on long walks and even gives him some hang time and belly rubs. She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures!”
20. Katie P.
“Katie was awesome with our pup, Tehya! She was able to help us out last-minute with a walk on Christmas Day of all days! She was easy to communicate with, let us know how the walk went, and sent us great photos of Tehya with some festive, holiday decorations. I would highly recommend Katie for any of your pet’s needs!”
