“Kelsi was great! She was able to take care of my dog on short notice when my original plans fell through. I received plenty of photos while Noda was boarded and she seemed to have a great time. I would highly recommend Kelsi!”

“Our babies love staying with Amy. She takes great care of them. Mostly I enjoy the pictures during their stay! They're always happy when getting there and somewhat sad when leaving. I highly recommend Amy!!!! Buddy and Daisy can't wait to come back again to play and be spoiled.”

“Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.”

“Once again Kathryn was fabulous with our little Yogi. We can tell that he likes staying with her as he gets excited when we drop him off. She always keeps us updated during the booking and continues to send photographs of him chilling throughout her house. In addition, she makes us aware of any issues faced and always comes up with fabulous ways of correcting those issues, like taking his pills and making sure he's comfortable. He has really grown comfortable with staying there and is not at all upset when we drop him off or pick him up. We are so happy to have found someone to care for our dog when we go away to gives him the same love and affection that we do. Keep up the great work Kathryn.”

“We were very happy with the care that Jennifer gave to our dog. This was our first experience leaving our dog so we were nervous but Jennifer made us feel comfortable and sent pictures each day. Jennifer is very experienced and well trained in dealing with different types of dogs.”


“Cyndi provided the absolute best care for my sweet old guy while I was away, and I am so grateful! Her regular updates gave me peace of mind, and I truly appreciated how carefully she took the time to learn his routine, medication needs, and unique quirks. It was clear he was happy and well cared for during his stay. I’ll definitely be using Cyndi again and recommending her to others!”

“Phillip, Took extra special care of our fur baby. Very professional and always responded promptly regarding the well being of dog. Highly recommended! Definitely 5 stars easliy..*****”

“1st time using Rover and was looking for someone to watch our Benji while I went out of town for a few days. I found Lorena based on her review and I see why she has a 5 star rating. Lorena was quick to respond to questions, was very flexible and really took care of Benji. She set up a meet and great first and we had a chance to meet her family, and they are all animal lovers. Benji seemed to be very comfortable with everyone and we felt comfortable leaving him. While I was on my trip Lorena doing a great job keeping me updated and sending me pictures. She took care of Benji like he was her own and he even learned a few things.”

“From the time we dropped Rosie off and she left without much of a goodbye we knew we had chosen the right place. Amanda and family have dogs and they know dogs. Easy going, flexible and just nice people. Amanda sent me video updates of Rosie. It was reassuring to know our girl was so well cared for. We would use Amanda again in a heartbeat!”

“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”


“Heather has hosted our 88 lbs yellow lab Chewy for extended overnight stays twice now. We know he's enjoyed the stay because he is eager to get in her door when we drop him off - and he's tired from all the play and fun when we pick him up days later. She does a great job communicating with us and takes his mischief with good humor. Will definitely continue to board him with her.”

“Amazing!! My pup had a great time. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and be dogs. Wonderful communication so you don’t have to stress while you are away. I won’t be bringing my dog anywhere else.”

“Kota seemed to have enjoyed his time at Brooke and Bryan's farm. They were very accommodating and flexible. I loved that Kota had plenty of playtime and socialization with other pups his size while he was there. He took a long nap when we got home. Thank you!”

“We're repeat clients, and it's always a great experience. Kyon truly enjoys his time with this family! Yeny and Ray are warm, welcoming, and treat every pet as if they were their own. Their genuine love and care for animals really shines through.”


“Thank you for taking care of our pups for a few days while we were away and for going above and beyond!! We really appreciated all the pictures, videos and updates of our pups!”

“Matt was wonderful and easy to work with. Our dog Marlowe loved being at his house and having other playmates to be around. He communicated concisely and quickly with us. He took fantastic care of our little one and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Denise takes such good care of my pup! She answered all my questions thoroughly and sent me update pictures while I was out of the country. Would use her dog sitting services again!”

“Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.”

“Lucas was amazing while watching my 2 pups! He attended to the cats, which was not at all required but he still took the time to show them love. He took the pups out for walks and even gave them treats he brought himself and gave them play time. He simply went above and beyond!”


“Alicia was absolutely amazing! Professional, reliable, and truly caring. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat — the best sign of excellent care. Highly recommend and will definitely book again! 🐾”


“Rochelle watched our senior cat, Callie, at our home while we were on vacation. She was extremely reliable and trustworthy—sending us daily pictures, videos, and updates. It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.”

About: Hi! I'm Reis, a dependable and active animal lover with both professional and personal pet care experience. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility where I supervised doggie daycare, monitored group play, and helped ensure dogs stayed safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. This experience taught me how to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight house-sitting and pet-sitting services, caring for pets in their own homes and maintaining their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. As someone with an active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a weekend sitter, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently work a part-time job that allows me to have a lot of flexibility. I am able to work in all of Richmond and surrounding areas as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Through my experience working at a dog daycare facility, overnight house-sitting, and caring for both a senior dog and a young dog of my own, I've learned that every pet has different needs and energy levels. Whether your pet prefers a relaxed walk and extra patience or lots of activity and play, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets.

I would potty train, teach door manners, heal, sit, stay,place, stay under table during dinner time and various other life skills for the dog to follow. I would also brush their teeth, play with them daily and show them constant affection and love. I’m currently working 1-2 days per week prn, so I’ll have plenty of time to work around various schedules to assist all of my clients needs. I will walk the dog around on a leash, ensuring to monitor the weather to make sure that the asphalt is not to hot for their paws. I will earn trust of my clients by communicating efficiently and proving over time that I have the best interest in the care and safety of your pet.

“Kelsi was great! She was able to take care of my dog on short notice when my original plans fell through. I received plenty of photos while Noda was boarded and she seemed to have a great time. I would highly recommend Kelsi!”

“Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.”

“We were very happy with the care that Jennifer gave to our dog. This was our first experience leaving our dog so we were nervous but Jennifer made us feel comfortable and sent pictures each day. Jennifer is very experienced and well trained in dealing with different types of dogs.”


“Cyndi provided the absolute best care for my sweet old guy while I was away, and I am so grateful! Her regular updates gave me peace of mind, and I truly appreciated how carefully she took the time to learn his routine, medication needs, and unique quirks. It was clear he was happy and well cared for during his stay. I’ll definitely be using Cyndi again and recommending her to others!”

“1st time using Rover and was looking for someone to watch our Benji while I went out of town for a few days. I found Lorena based on her review and I see why she has a 5 star rating. Lorena was quick to respond to questions, was very flexible and really took care of Benji. She set up a meet and great first and we had a chance to meet her family, and they are all animal lovers. Benji seemed to be very comfortable with everyone and we felt comfortable leaving him. While I was on my trip Lorena doing a great job keeping me updated and sending me pictures. She took care of Benji like he was her own and he even learned a few things.”

“From the time we dropped Rosie off and she left without much of a goodbye we knew we had chosen the right place. Amanda and family have dogs and they know dogs. Easy going, flexible and just nice people. Amanda sent me video updates of Rosie. It was reassuring to know our girl was so well cared for. We would use Amanda again in a heartbeat!”

“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”


“Heather has hosted our 88 lbs yellow lab Chewy for extended overnight stays twice now. We know he's enjoyed the stay because he is eager to get in her door when we drop him off - and he's tired from all the play and fun when we pick him up days later. She does a great job communicating with us and takes his mischief with good humor. Will definitely continue to board him with her.”

“Amazing!! My pup had a great time. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and be dogs. Wonderful communication so you don’t have to stress while you are away. I won’t be bringing my dog anywhere else.”

“Kota seemed to have enjoyed his time at Brooke and Bryan's farm. They were very accommodating and flexible. I loved that Kota had plenty of playtime and socialization with other pups his size while he was there. He took a long nap when we got home. Thank you!”

“We're repeat clients, and it's always a great experience. Kyon truly enjoys his time with this family! Yeny and Ray are warm, welcoming, and treat every pet as if they were their own. Their genuine love and care for animals really shines through.”

“Matt was wonderful and easy to work with. Our dog Marlowe loved being at his house and having other playmates to be around. He communicated concisely and quickly with us. He took fantastic care of our little one and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Denise takes such good care of my pup! She answered all my questions thoroughly and sent me update pictures while I was out of the country. Would use her dog sitting services again!”

“This is the 2nd time Chris watched my Bella. She enjoyed herself. He sent me pictures of her throughout the stay. I had special food for him to feed her, and that was no problem. She will be going back.”

“Sheri was amazing with my dog Zion! She watched him for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and consistently checked in with me and catered to my needs of transporting him and also his diet. She was diligent about feeding him the correct food and making sure he was happy and healthy. Highly recommend her!”

“Sheyanna took amazing care of my dog, Astro, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was kind, reliable, and clearly someone who truly loves animals. Astro was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I picked him up, which says everything. She kept me updated, made sure Astro got plenty of attention, and treated him like he was her own.”

“Laura was amazing with my dogs and amazing with all my request or accommodations needed. I would definitely use her again in the future and every time she’s available she is my go to sitter. I recommend Laura to anyone with any type of dog. Thank you Laura.”
