“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”

“I was so impressed with Matt! He sent updates and pics of my pups and they had a wonderful visit with him. We will definitely be booking with him whenever we stay in Richmond.”

“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Excellen all around! Great communication before and during our trip, with lots of consideration for the dogs’ routines and comfort. Loved all the photos that showed us the dogs were having a great time at “camp” — knowing they were in good hands let us enjoy our trip all the more. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”

“We left our 3 small dogs with Amy for 10 days. She consistantly sent videos and pictures and updated us on the how they were doing (as promised.) She understood dogs and seemed to meet their every need. They were happy instead of depressed when we picked them up. We will definitely return for her services!”


“Aaren and Jordan were such fabulous sitters for my itty bitty 80lbs pittie! They sent several pics and vids throughout his 2day stay which definitely put me as ease. Highly recommend!”

“Cyndi provided the absolute best care for my sweet old guy while I was away, and I am so grateful! Her regular updates gave me peace of mind, and I truly appreciated how carefully she took the time to learn his routine, medication needs, and unique quirks. It was clear he was happy and well cared for during his stay. I’ll definitely be using Cyndi again and recommending her to others!”


“Well, I just want to say they did wonderful with 2 dogs that have never had sitters before. They were so happy when I picked them up I knew they did a wonderful job. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is truly I'll, and they handled it wonderfully. Thanks guys. DOG has a vet appointment tomorrow and hopefully we have better enzyme results today. If not, I know they had great care. Thank you so much! ”

“Amanda was absolutely incredible. She was super communicative throughout our dog's entire stay. We loved all the updates and pictures. We could tell our dog was being loved and cared for, which put us at ease while we were out of town. Would 100% recommend Amanda.”
“Carolina was very professional and helpful with my new puppy. She also sent pictures and updates on my puppy, which I appreciated very much considering this was my first time leaving my pup with a stranger. I would definitely use Carolina again and highly recommend her.”

“Libby was a lifesaver for us. She took care of our geriatric Golden for three days while we were away, then stepped up for an additional four days at the last moment due a a medical emergency, even buying addition food and supplements as needed. She is clearly a dog lover, and our Golden was very comfortable and well cared for with her and her two dogs. Excellent communication and lots of photos completely set our minds at ease at a time when we didn’t need any additional worries. We even got a thorough report-card and little polaroid of our Golden when we picked her up. I can’t say enough good things about Libby. Your dog would be very lucky to have her as a sitter.”

“I am more than pleased with the ❤️ and care DAMACIA provided for my 3 months puppy. I would recommend her and we will be going back. Was a little nervous at first, but she reassured me he would be fine even around other Fur Babies.”

“Great sitters for our 3 lb Yorkie for 2 weeks. He wasn’t feeling great 3days before our trip but they gave him his meds and got him back to his usual playful self well before we got home. Sent photos every day to see how he was doing. Will always book them as our first choice”

Excellent experience leaving my two small dogs with Mich (and Milo). My dogs felt at home right away. Mich's house is beautiful and dog-friendly and has a nice fenced in back yard. Milo is super sweet and was very gentle around my small dogs. I will definitely be booking with Mich again!
Ross and Ava are fabulous sitters! This was my dog’s first time staying with them and their sweet dog, George, and I was wondering if Reggie would want to come home with me after being taken care of so well! 😊 Ross & Ava were great with providing updates and also being mindful of the heat for walks. Finding a sitter can be such a stressful process but Ross & Ava were great with coordinating a meet and greet beforehand and putting my mind at ease. Your pet will be in great hands!

Thank you so much, Michaela, for taking such a good care of Max. We really appreciate your updates and pictures. By your words, we could really feel Max had a great time! It’s very clear how much you love animals! Max and I would love for you to take care of I’m again! 🥰

Allison is the best! This is the second time we’ve used her and she’s nothing short of wonderful. She lives on our baby like they’re her own and she updated us so consistently that we felt like he was with us. I’ve used sooo many dogsitters in the past having had dogs my whole life & none compare to her level of service !
