“We are very appreciative of Amanda and her husband for taking great care of our boys! Amanda is very communicative, caring and flexible which has been critical for our dog care needs. Can’t wait for our pups’ next stay!”

“Great with my little one she is old and spoiled Chihuahua and she just keeps getting spoiled. Loves the yard to run in and play with the bigger dogs sometimes. But the best part is she is worn out by the time we get home. And they are so flexible with my crazy schedule.”

“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”


“Ayme took Hugo for a doggie day care break today! We asked her at short notice, and she obliged. Hugo loves playing with Ayme’s fur-babies, and judging by the photos and video, he had a blast 😊 Thank you so much for the love and attention you and your kind husband give to our dog, I’m so glad we found you! 💕”

“Michelle took good care of my pup. Her dog Milo is a sweetie. She has a nice yard for them to play in and my dog also enjoyed relaxing by her side on the couch.”

About: I've taken care of bunnies, cats, and dogs since I was little. I love animals and have always had a talent for connecting with them. I have cared for all ages and sizes of pets including administering medication and accommodating injuries. I have lots of time to spend with my furry animals given my flexible work schedule. I can provide midday walks at different times as my work allows for this flexibility. I am able to be present with the animals during the day. I treat all animals with love and care. I talk to them very warmly and gently, and I handle them with care and affection. They are my friends!
“Emily did a wonderful job with my dog Majik. She took such thoughtful care of Majik, kept me updated, and made the whole experience easy and stress‑free. I really appreciate her care and attention. I would definitely book with her again.”


About: Hi! 🐾 I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years, from my family dogs growing up to my own 13-year-old mini poodle, Soy. I’ve cared for dogs from 10 to 65 lbs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels and needs. Soy has been with me for most of my adult life, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I’ll care for yours the way I’d want someone to care for her, with lots of love, attention and respect for their usual routine. ❤️ I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day for company, walks, playtime and regular potty breaks. Our home is generally calm and relaxed, and Soy is friendly and enjoys having other animals around. 🏡 I also have a 3-year-old who absolutely loves animals and has already been my little helper with several dogs and cats. She’s gentle and comfortable around pets, so I’m only able to welcome animals who are comfortable and safe around young children. 🐶👧🏻 I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter for years and have experience with dogs of many sizes and temperaments. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime or curling up nearby while I work, I want them to feel loved and at home while you’re away. 🐾
“Ariel was absolutely wonderful taking care of Georgie all day! Her own dogs were sweet and well behaved, and Georgie adored being a member of the pack, and playing with her daughter. My absolute highest recommendation!!”


About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I genuinely see animals as family, and I believe they deserve the same love, patience, and attention we give our children. Friends know they can trust me with their pets, and I’ve cared for my best friend’s pug whenever she travels, making sure he feels loved, comfortable, and keeps his routine. My goal is to provide every pet with a safe, nurturing environment where they can feel happy and at home until they’re reunited with their family. Your pup will enjoy a calm, clean, and cozy home where they’ll be treated like part of the family. I work around a flexible schedule, allowing plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and rest throughout the day. My apartment community features a fenced dog park, and we’re surrounded by beautiful walking trails that are perfect for exercise and sniff adventures. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a peaceful place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As someone who naturally enjoys caring for both children and animals, creating a warm, loving environment comes easily to me. I’m patient, attentive, and believe every dog has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, lounging on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Susan and Josh were such great hosts for June! Lots of outdoor space, and other dogs to hang out with. I would recommend this home to any pet and will use again if we’re in the area!”

“Jordan was amazing! Kept us up to date with how the pup was doing and sent great photos. Put us at ease while we were working, especially because it was her first time in daycare.”

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”

Cozmel took great care of our Ziggy! Ziggy made a new friend with Shep, and they enjoyed playing together in the large fenced-in back yard. Cozmel communicated well before, during, and after, making us at ease knowing our dog was getting the care we wanted. Will definitely request another doggy day care visit in the future!

We've barely had our puppy a month so we were very nervous to leave him with someone new. Elizabeth made this such a great visit. She shared videos and texted with updates regularly so we didnt have to wonder if he was ok. Who knew he'd even make some new doggy friends in the process. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you 😊

I was passing through Richmond and needed a dog sitter for a few hours. Julie and her husband could not have been a better couple for the job! They have the perfect space (with a doggy door leading to a beautiful, fenced-in yard!) and my dogs seemed to instantly feel comfortable there. I wish Julie and her husband lived closer to us—we’d use them all the time! Highly recommend.

We were in town just for the week and needed a sitter during the days for our hound Daisy. Right away Daisy was at home in Nadia and Quincy's dog-centered property. She was well cared for with individualized attention. I never worried about her and she was excited to return each day. The location was in close proximity to VCU, which was perfect for us. Would absolutely bring Daisy back!

Super grateful to Amanda and her husband. Their home has become our 2 pups’ daily respite while our house is under construction. Our boys are well taken care of, get to socialize with other small pups, and receive a walk or two during the day. Thank you Amanda!

Virginia has been so flexible and wonderful in helping care for our anxious pup Murphy! She is super communicative and provides lots of updates. Murphy absolutely loves spending time with her and it is such a relief to find someone you trust in a new city to care for your pet.

Can’t recommend Ariel enough! I was in Richmond from out of town for a graduation ceremony and my dog Cricket needed care for the afternoon and evening. Ariel was very communicative and flexible with both pick up and drop off times, and sent me so many cute photos throughout the day. I felt perfectly safe leaving Cricket in her care.

I can’t even say how amazing Farrah has been with my pups. A true life saver and they would absolutely rather be with her any day of the week than home. The exciting when we get close to her house is over the top. We are so grateful to have found her and any dog that gets her care will be over the moon :)
