“Chynna took great care of my Junie while I was away. She followed all instructions, sent me lots of photos, and kept me informed on how Junie was doing on their walks. I will definitely be using Chynna again for any dog sitting needs!”

About: I have a deep love for all animals! As a pet foster mom, and a mom of 2 cats and high medical needs dog, I feel confident that I can give your fur baby the best care! I am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, dogs with special needs, cats and larger breed animals. I will treat your baby like my own❤️ As a summer school teacher, I am available for early morning visits, and visits starting at 3 PM! Friday through Sunday I am available at any time. Feel free to message me to confirm times and dates for your furry friends :) I am experienced with handling all temperaments of dogs and cats, and will make sure to follow your directions exactly! Safety and love is my top priority for all animals.

About: I have experience caring for both puppies (even during potty training) and senior pets with special medication and mobility needs. I have pet sat for numerous families with senior pets and have been successful in meeting all needs and providing the best care possible. I would love to do the same for your pet! I am in my 4th year of medical school, so my schedule is more flexible than an average full time job. I often have odd shifts or hours, so I can tend to pets at times where others may not be able to! I am willing to fit caring for your pet into my schedule however I can. I currently have 1 cat who lives in my apartment. I am so excited for the day we move to a home where we can build him a cat patio (or catio as we lovingly refer to it as), but for now he loves sitting in the window and seeing all of the sights outside! I would be willing to travel wherever needed to pet sit or do pet check-ins/potty breaks/walks. I would care for your animal just like it was my own. My goal is to meet all of your pet's needs, from physical to emotional and psychological. I also strive to maintain great relationships with pet owners to make leaving pets less stressful and anxiety-inducing.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also frequently pet sit for family members, which has given me experience caring for different pets with their own personalities and routines. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, feeding, or just giving them attention, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I'm currently a student and work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care! Although I don't live with my dog anymore, I'm used to balancing my responsibilities and making time for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow the owner's instructions closely. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or theirs, I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe environment. I also respect each pet's boundaries and make sure they feel comfortable with me!

About: I’ve been a cat mama since our family cat chose me as his favorite nap spot the day I came home from the hospital! I raised my next bestie from the day she was born until she crossed the rainbow bridge, and I’ve loved my Fiona for nearly 14 years. I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication, accommodating quirky needs, and navigating sassy attitudes! I also grew up with a family dog and helped care for him while living at home and during college breaks. That included feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I bring patience and attention to each pet’s personality and routine, and I’m happy to learn all the little details that help yours feel comfortable and loved. I currently work freelance and have a very flexible schedule so my days are built around what bookings I have in a given week. Let me know what your needs are and we can work something out 🙂 Each visit comes will include a food, water and liter refresh plus treats, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I have plenty of experience with cats of all temperaments and will adjust care according to your instruction.

About: I am very available in the summertime (I am a teacher), and I am available on day on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, I am able to travel to your pet in the morning and evening (before and after work). On weekends and on school breaks I am very flexible. I currently am a teacher, so I am available morning and evening on weekdays, and I am available all day on weekends. I am also available all the time in the summer. I am very willing to come take care of your pets at your house. I am very welcoming to all behaviors and I will follow all expectations perfectly, as well as take care of your animal with as much love as you would!

About: I’ve grown and been trusted with pets ever since I was born. My family runs a wildlife rehab, so I’ve witnessed aggression first-hand. Currently unemployed, so pet care would be prioritized in my daily/weekly routine. I have a cat of my own, so I care for him too. When at the client’s home, I usually do the must now tasks first, then I take the time to give the fur baby enrichment and play with them, teach them a trick if possible, and make sure they feel loved while their owner is temporarily away.

About: I have cared for animals for all my life, I grew up with both a dog and cat, and developed a genuine love for both. For the past three years I lived in south lake tahoe where I regularly dog sat for my friends and took them trail running, biking, and hiking. I love being outdoors, and a furry friend besides me makes the experience 10x better. In the past year I have worked at farms specifically with animal care and husbandry; including feeding and herding sheep and alpacas, working alongside herding dogs. I administered medications to large farm animals for infections and other needs. Whether your pet loves long outdoor adventures, leisurely strolls in the neighborhood or simply companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet and care for them! I’m currently visiting family in Richmond, Virginia, after spending the past year bikepacking and traveling throughout Southeast Asia. As I apply for forestry positions back in California, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, walks, and outdoor adventures. I don’t currently have a space of my own to host pets, but I’m very comfortable caring for animals in their own homes. Whether you need someone to stay overnight, stop by for visits, or pick up your dog for a walk or adventure, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and your preferences.

About: Hi there! I’m new to the Richmond area and can’t wait to explore the city, preferably with a furry friend (or two) by my side. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors since 2007. Whether it’s playful pups, snuggly seniors, or quirky cats, I’ve cared for them all and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. • Super flexible schedule • Happy to stay in your home (I’m neat, respectful, and come with glowing references) • Excellent communicator and completely trustworthy with both pets and homes • Big believer in belly rubs, treat breaks, and whatever makes your pet happiest I can’t host pets in my own home but, I’m more than happy to travel or housesit wherever your fur baby feels most at home. I’d love to meet Richmond’s locals and give them all the love and care they deserve. My days are wide open and pet sitting is my favorite way to fill them! I am totally flexible and always happy to see a fur best friend! While I can’t offer boarding in my home (my cat kindly lets me live there), I’m happy to care for your pets in your home. I treat every house with respect and every pet with the same love, compassion, and excitement as if they were my own.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from puppies to senior dogs and even very large breeds. I worked at Dulles Pet Hotel & Daycare, where I provided attentive care, maintained clean and safe environments, administered medications, and monitored the health and behavior of all pets in my care. Beyond professional experience, I have been dog-sitting for multiple families throughout high school and continue to do so while in college, providing everything from walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and administering medications. I love pet sitting because I strive to give the best care, I provide the type of pet care I would want my puppy to have. (and I love my dog with my whole heart, she’s my baby)I also have my own dog, which has given me daily hands-on experience with training, care, and attention. I also love love love big dogs, I used to have a Mastiff growing up which made me fall in love with dogs! In addition to my pet care skills, I worked as a sales associate at Good Dog Rocky, where I built strong relationships and developed trustworthiness and reliability—qualities I bring to caring for every pet. I will take care of your dog like it’s my own, and you can expect nothing short of the best care from me, ensuring your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I’m currently a college student at VCU studying Economics and Statistics. My class schedule is fairly light, which gives me plenty of flexible time to walk, play with, and care for a furry friend throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on your dog’s needs. I currently live on campus in a dorm room, but back at home, we take excellent care of our puppy! She has a spacious playpen where she can run, play, sleep, and do whatever her heart desires. I bring the same love, attention, and care to every dog I look after in their home!
