Personalized care for your dog or cat - Richmond

“Sheila is extremely kind, professional, and loving to animals. She went absolutely above and beyond caring for my very rambunctious puppy and I was touched to see how much she cared. She is an excellent communicator and I hope I have the privilege of working with her and her family again’”

Aleksandra M.

“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”

“Shelby is one of the most kindest caregivers I have ever met. She is super communicative and always eases my mind when I worry. I will most definitely book with her again if I ever need. She is compassionate and kind for all furry friends. Shelby will always be my first pick!! She should be yours too. Thank you from the dearest of my heart for taking such sweet care of my minmin.”

“Michelle was amazing with our 3 cats! She was kind, communicative, and so attentive to our babies. You can absolutely tell how much she cares when she sends her check in summaries, and she got some great pics + videos. Even though there was a crazy storm while we were away, we never had to worry about anything since Michelle was proactive and kept us in the loop. She’s truly a gem!”

“Justin was great. Between the cats and the dogs and all the nuances of each pet, Justin managed it like a champ. Our cats were not very cooperative, you know, like cats can be. Justin provided us daily updates and pics. He was also super responsive to the many texts I kept sending. He was also kind enough to grab out mail/packages, too. I would definitely recommend Justin if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”

About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years. I have helped a friends family with their cattle and pigs, but am not as experienced with livestock outside chickens. I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me. I am very comunicative and willing to ask questions.

About: "If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat." ~Terri Guillemets Love dogs (and animals in general, but dogs especially.) I have been around them my whole life and wouldn't want it any other way. I come from a large, mostly rural dwelling family, my grandma had 11 kids 2/3 of which have at least 1 or more dog(s) including my mom. I've always had my own and/or lived with roommates/friends/family, that have/had dog(s) in every house I've lived from day 1 to the present. Although I can't say I've taken care of every breed out there (doubt that many people can) I have definitely seen my fair share of mutts and purebreds alike; from Corgis to Chihuahuas, Danes to Dobermans, Lhasa Apsos to Shar Peis, and even a couple of wolves (3/4 mixes) as well as a few rodents, cats, reptiles, arachnid and birds. Big or small I love "em all, but if you forced me to pick a favorite I'd have to go with the affectionate yet intimidating Perro de Presa Canario. In short, if either by choice or necessity you find yourself in need of a caretaker for your 4-legged (or more) companion(s), know that I would be elated for the opportunity and you can be assured that their health and well-being will invariably be at the forefront of my mind in all that I do while they're in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you soon. "Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though....

About: I've had pets my whole life, and that is not limited to just cats and dogs. A guinea pig I was gifted as a young child ignited my love and passion for living creatures. Since then I've loved animals of all shapes and sizes. I’ve worked at a pet store as their go-to animal care woman. I’ve cared for small mammals and reptiles and LOTS of fish. I've always, always had cats and dogs at home, including now. I've worked for other dog walking and daycare companies, and I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from an 80-pound dane mix to a 15-pound French bulldog. I haven't met an animal yet that I didn't learn to love. I'm not a squeamish person, so whatever you need me to do for your pet, I will do my absolute best. Thank you for considering me to take care of your best friend - whatever form they may take. Although I’d love to be able to do this full time, I do have to work around my day job. That leaves me available Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday most weeks. I will update my schedule if I get a day off. I will always be fully alert to your pets needs. Food, water, potty, bath. You name it, I can do it. I have years of experience with all types of animals under my belt.

About: I love dogs, they are phenomenal and loving, it just seemed to fit that the understanding of dog behavior was the next step. I've been caring for dogs in my neighborhood and advising pup parents on their dog behavior and offering insight for years. I have three beautiful dogs that are all off leash trained and positive behavior trained. Our fur friends are not pets they are companions. I can't wait to meet your companion! Working on opening a non profit for abandoned dogs currently. Let me help you and your fur pets make those memories by making things a little bit easier while your not, at home. Let's talk about what you need. What are you waiting for? Let's discuss what you need, thanks for your consideration. The schedule is fairly flexible obviously preplanning is important to all involved, especially our pups. Let's discuss what you need to see what we can come up with. We have play time outside and inside. That includes mental stimulation with toys, tricks and treats. Meal time and rest time either indoor or out door up to the dogs preference.
