Personalized care for your dog or cat - Richmond
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Richmond
“John and Rachael were very welcoming of us and our hyper dog! We felt very comfortable leaving her in their care and an added bonus that they have kids to love on her during her stay.”
“First time leaving a pet with anyone but family. She was truly awesome. Open to meet with her with our collie prior to are vacation. Communication was always timely and helpful. She helped us relax and enjoy our time away. Thanks!”
“Catherine was amazing! This was our first time leaving Dixie with a sitter so of course I was worried about our gIrl. Catherine was great she eased those fears and welcomed Dixie right in! We received many pictures throughout the week showing her having so much fun! We would definitely use and recommend Catherine do all dog parents!!”
“It helps us so so much that MacKenzie has the pick up/drop off option! The dogs came home happy and clean! She always has the best interest of our girls at heart. She didn’t want them to be home alone so she waited until we came home from our trip before bringing them by even though we had the dog door open at the back door for her to be able to drop them off in the backyard. She brought them by even though it ended up being late! She is so accommodating! This was our 3rd time and we will definitely continue to be customers!”
“Amazingly kind. She has one small dog diva. Our frenchies are not dog aggressive but nosy. We felt totally at ease leaving them. She has a good sense about dogs and wasn’t overwhelmed by our nosy Frenchie. Home was well established to accommodate two dogs. When we went to pick up they had company. We were excited for a chiefs win so we all talked about the game. They were very personable. Our frenchies were so tired. With all of the activity the dogs were more than well entertained. We picked them up around 7 and they slept for 14 hours straight. They were exhausted which just means they stayed busy didn’t sleep a lot cause there was always something going on. Highly recommend and will use again. Thank you for the day service. It met our needs perfectly. Their location was close to i~70 and easy to find.”
“Leslie was very kind and patient with my puppy. She took very good care of her and I felt more than safe leaving my pup with her. Leslie’s home was also clean and well put together and filled with dog toys! If I ever need boarding again I will for sure be booking with her.”
“I could not be more pleased with Kathleen! She was very well prepared. She took such an amazing care of my baby Jojo, like he was her own. Kathleen is very caring and professional! I got lots of pictures of my dog looking happy and comfortable. I can tell Jojo really loved her and felt at home. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner!”
“We love Naji! She always takes such good care of our little Willow. She’s very flexible too. We had 2 cancelled flights and ended up needing to extend her stay by 3 days. Naji was quick to change the booking to help us out and kept Willow busy with all her friends. At this point, Naji is Willow’s second home!”
“Gail was very accommodating for my two dogs. She sent daily updates and pictures to put me at ease. My older dog Marble has anxiety and I knew she would take a few days to settle down. Gail assured me that she was doing ok. Ginger is a puppy and very high maintenance. I am glad she made friends to play with.”
“They were great with our unpotty trained puppy. They helped quite a bit and we are trying to rebook them again for another weekend trip a few weeks out. We hope to have our puppy on a better potty schedule by then and have no doubt that Daine and Ashley will keep up the routine. They are great.”
“Lona and Alan took great care of my dogs while I traveled. They sent photo updates and they had my dogs ready to go when I arrived. I would highly recommend them to care for your pet.”
“Jacqueline watched our big, very energetic golden Pyrenees 24/7 for 9 days and everything went great! She texted videos and pictures with updates every day and he seemed to have a great time. Will reach out next time we go on vacation!”
“Joseph took care of Luna for a little over 2 weeks, and we couldn’t be more pleased. We got the perfect amount of updates and pictures/videos. We’ve left Luna in Jospeh’s care several times at this point, and have no plans of stopping in the future.”
“Angelica was super responsive and sweet! She made sure Coop was comfortable with his first night away from home. He was worn out from all the playing when we picked him up! Definitely recommend for your pups!”
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child. As a pre-teen, I used to go to my neighbors' homes to take their dogs for walks. Then, in 1993, my parents finally gave me my first dog—a black English Cocker Spaniel. I haven't been without dogs since. The first one was stolen when he was a year old. The second, another black Cocker, lived for 14 years. During that time, I also had a Yorkshire Terrier who lived to be 17. Currently, I have a 12-year-old female Papillon who came with me from Brazil a little over two years ago. I am Brazilian and qualified as a veterinarian in 2003. I spent six years working in a clinic treating dogs before switching to a different area of veterinary practice for personal reasons. Since moving to the US, I have been a full-time mom, as my youngest daughter is not yet school-age. I believe a meet-and-greet is beneficial for both parties; it’s a time for pets and their owners to get to know me better, and for me to get to know the pet (I like to fill out a form during this time to record details about them). I understand that just like us, dogs need regular walks to stay happy, healthy and mentally stimulated. If life gets busy and you're unable to take your pup out as often as you'd like, I'd be happy to help. I also offer loving in-home care for pets who prefer to stay cozy and comfortable in their own home while you're away. Services offered: dog walker, boarding, drop-in visits and doggy day care. I offer other pet services upon request. I am currently a full-time mother and homemaker, so I do not have a job that keeps me away from home for long stretches at a time. I have a friendly 12-year-old female dog, but she doesn't know how to play with other dogs; she’s a companion for quiet moments rather than playtime. I have three children—aged 4, 6, and 9—who adore dogs and love playing with them. I live in a house without a fenced yard. The raised deck has a gate and is a spot where my dog likes to hang out and watch the activity. I’ve installed a 34-inch removable fence in a small area where a dog can be left without constant supervision (provided they aren't a climber or a jumper).

“Ashley was great! This was my first time to use Rover and I am so pleased with the service. Ashley was so good with communication, thorough and complete service, friendly, and good pictures of my cat, Luna! I would definitely recommend her for your pet care and visits.”
“Once again, Olivia came through for us. This was a fairly short notice booking, and she was available to check in on our cat for the weekend. We will continue to call on Olivia for all our pet care needs!”
About: Growing up at a house where we treated our furry friends like family has taught me the best way to grow connection with any animal. Currently, I do work full-time in the city so coming home to your furry friend so they have someone to spend Time would work best with me. The safety of your family is first in mind whether that be keeping them on a leash while walking them or making sure they get their medication's or eat the right diet trust that I will keep them safe.
“Jasmine was amazing with my Precious. She kept me informed, arrived as expected, and spent so much time caring for my cat. She went beyond expectations on every visit. 100% the best sitter.”
“If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Richmond
“She is amazing and my puppy loves to see her!! She is ready to watch your pup and knows when your in a hurry to get to your next stop. If you want your pup to get the best care she is excellent!!!”
“Dash has been going to Kathleen for a week now & he loves her! She is very responsive, and very sweet. She sends me pics throughout the day, and I love that she takes him out for walks and play time. We will continue to book with her 😊”
“Gail was very personable and knowledgeable about animal behavior. She handled my dogs with great care and they felt very comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to utilize her services again.”

“I cannot recommend Lona & Alan enough! They took such amazing care of my dogs. From the daily updates and photos to their attentive care, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for and working with dogs for over 6 years, from puppies and high-energy dogs to large breeds and dogs with very different personalities and needs. My professional experience in dog training has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable handling everything from an energetic walk to a dog who simply wants to relax and have some company. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, boundaries, and the little details that help dogs feel at ease in a new environment. Whether your dog loves a long walk, needs some extra patience, or is happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I work from home every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Dogs staying with me will have someone around throughout the day, with plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also able to keep a consistent routine and give each dog the individual care they’re used to. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and supervised playtime. I prioritize a calm, secure environment and follow each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. My experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments also means I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog needs space, extra supervision, or a little time to settle in. I’m happy to use crates or separate spaces when needed and will always prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort.
About: I have a stay at home job where my hours are very flexible. I do have visits with clients that can last 1-3 hours but if I know that I’m caring for your dog I will do my very best to not schedule two visits in a day! I will spend lots of quality time with your dog and make sure it is getting more than enough love and care that it needs! I work in social work, so I usually have 2-3 visits per week that last between 1-3 hours. Other than that, and the other activities I spend my time doing, I will give your dog so much love when I am home! I am rarely ever gone for more than 3 hours at a time. I am available any day of the week on a normal week. I live at an apartment complex, but we are only on the second floor, have a good amount of space, and our complex even has a dog park!
“Mackenzie has been wonderful with my dog! She is very prompt with communication and keeps me updated the entire visit. My dog has fun with her and her pups and she makes sure he is safe and happy! Thank you!”

“Ashley is great! Our dog, Arlo, is a 75lb, 8 month old puppy and while he is the goofiest, most loving guy...he can also be a pain in the butt sometimes. Ashley handled Arlo (and our home) with great care. She is reliable and has great communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog walker!”
About: I’ve also had guinea pigs and rabbits and birds and goats. I love all animals and am happy to care for them no matter what shape or size.

I have three children—aged 4, 6, and 9—who adore dogs and love playing with them. I live in a house without a fenced yard. The raised deck has a gate and is a spot where my dog likes to hang out and watch the activity. I’ve installed a 34-inch removable fence in a small area where a dog can be left without constant supervision (provided they aren't a climber or a jumper).
“Cheyanne was amazing! I had to find a last minute sitter for my senior dog because she was under the weather and couldn’t go to her typical boarder. In addition to being sick, my dog needs extra help doing some day to day things due to her age. Cheyanne was great and helped my dog feel safe in an unfamiliar environment.”
