Eula was a great pet sitter! I have a pretty crazy household and I'm always nervous to leave them with just anyone. Eula was prompt, kept me up-to-date, and made sure that everyone was well taken care of. She eased my worries (since I have crazy, rambunctious huskies that need to kept separate from my other pups and kitties), made sure whoever needed their medications took them, and took such good care of my pup that has severe anxiety. I came home to a very happy household and I would definitely allow her to watch my babies again. Thank you!

About: I’m a medical student at VCU on summer break and missing my own pets at home. I’ve walked neighborhood dogs and fostered shelter dogs and cats for several years and have volunteered walking dogs at Richmond Animal League (RAL) for the past year. I’m responsible, hardworking, and dependable and looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m a medical student on summer break for the next couple months and will be doing research remotely from home so my schedule is very flexible and I can adapt my timing to yours. I’m comfortable caring for your pets in my apartment having fostered pets here in the past or coming to your home. I’ve worked with shy dogs, energetic pups, playful puppies and everything in-between! I’m comfortable with a range and have also given medications and done some training if that’s something that needs to be continued.

Daniel is great to work with. He is responsive to inquiries and any other messages I have sent him. He takes great care of my apartment when he stays with Morty. I get pictures and a daily "report" of how things are going. I know that Morty is in good hands with Daniel and I don't have to worry when I am out of town.

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

We felt at ease when Emily stayed with our 10 month old great dane pup and 7 year old Border Aussie. I got pictures everyday we were gone and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. Bonus points for the house being clean when we got home! We are hopeful to have Emily care for our pets and home again!

Viv was fantastic with Mochi! She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. I loved getting the cute pictures and hearing that everything was going well. It’s clear she enjoys caring for pets and she is very trustworthy. We were so happy with the experience that we rebooked her immediately. I would absolutely recommend Viv to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Marissa did an absolutely fabulous job of taking care of our two "elderly" greyhounds for a week. She made them comfortable and secure by sticking to their routine and gave them lots of love. She sent pictures and gave us regular updates and was very responsive to any questions that we had so we never had to wonder what was going on. I would highly recommend Marissa!!

Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.

Miska was absolutely wonderful! From the initial message, to the meet and greet, and then the actual dog sitting part. She was very responsive to my messages and she was flexible in setting up the "meet and greet" with me and Max. When we met for the first time she was very personable and Max leaned into her for side scratches almost immediately. Miska asked pertinent questions and took notes during our meeting and tour of the apartment. She spent time loving on Max as I showed her where all of his medications and treats were located. While I was gone she let me know when she arrived and gave a me quick rundown of what her and Max were doing and she sent pictures daily. Miska treated my home like it was hers and everything was left in a neat and clean manner, even going as gar as doing dishes and taking out trash. Most importantly Max was a happy boy when I returned. I will most definitely be using Miska again in the future.

The sweetest person ever!!! So happy I booked her! She kept me updated frequently on my cats as well as gave them a bunch of love. I'm so happy that my baby cat fell very comfortable since she tends to be very nervous around new people but with Veronica, my cat loved and snuggled with her which means a lot!!! Thank you so much for being so sweet and patient with my girls would definitely recommend
