“This was our first time boarding our dog. We appreciated Megan's personality and her warm family. Diesel seemed super happy in every photo. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Bryan and Brooke were absolutely amazing! Thor, our Labrador Husky, had the absolute best time. They were communicative, sent pictures every single day and were just absolutely pleasant to coordinate with. I wish I had found them sooner, I will be using them exclusively from now on!”
“Our dog stayed with Connie for the first time while we were out of town for a week. She was so easy to book week with. I felt the communication was great, tons of pictures of our sweet girl playing. I know she got a ton of activity and playtime safely. Drop and pick up were easy and Connie was kind, easy to talk to, and most importantly took good care of our fur baby!”
“Seyla did an outstanding job caring for Oakyley during his stay. He took Oak on multiple daily hikes with other dogs through different parks in the area, and he kept him hydrated and cool on the hot days. Seyla provided a continuous stream of updates throughout the day about what they were up to and his feeding regimen. Seyla took very good care of our dog and made Oak part of his family for three weeks. If you are looking for someone to care for your family pet and not have to worry about what's happening, look no further! Highly recommended.”
“Our dog Reese had a great time with Mickey and his dogs. We love that Mickey has a training background and we didn't have to worry about Reese coming back with any bad behaviors. In fact, Mickey knows how to handle Reese better than we do. Another very important part to us is that Reese was hanging out with a loving family and not just kept in a crate. We will definitely board with Mickey again.”
“We couldn't ask for a better person to board our dog. Morgan is the best, he sent us updates and photos through out the boarding week. Our dog was clearly loved and received excellent care. We highly recommend Morgan to any dog owner looking for a trustworthy and loving place for their furry friend!”
“Erin was great. I could tell that Bonsai had a great time when I picked her up and from the photos I received during her stay with Erin. The meet and greet was great with Bonsai and Erin's dogs as well. The communication with Erin definitely a win with how everything was going.”
“Amber does an awesome job watching and caring for Bella. She sends photos and videos of her stay and updates me on Bella day daily. This is my 3rd time hiding Bella with her and Bella enjoys bonding with her dog.”
“Anna was very pleasant, understands dog care and was easy to arrange things with. My 2-year-old doggo enjoyed playing with her dogs and I think he had a good time. I would definitely be pleased to book her again.”
“This was the absolute best experience with Nick and Yiqiuxi. The communication was daily with pictures. In each picture my puppy looked so happy and comfortable. They will definitely be his home away from home when I need to go out of town. I cant say Thank You enough!!”
“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”
“Traci was wonderful! She sent me updates and pictures. This was the first time I’ve ever left our girls and they fit right in at Traci’s home. I will definitely continue to us her services.”
“Lillian is amazing! She took great care of my two small pups. I was nervous leaving them as they are small (3 and 7lbs) but our meet up went well and I loved her reviews and I see why!! Lillian didn’t just “watch” my dogs but she cared for them as if they were her own. She provided lots of photos and feedback while I was away. She was flexible when I became ill after travel and I was able to extend my pups stay without worry. I am really pleased with how my pups were treated, it means the world to me because they are literally my kids. I would absolutely use Lilian again!! Thank you a million times over!”
“Christopher was pleasant to work with through scheduling and boarding. He was flexible and met my needs well even though they were a bit complicated. During my pet’s stay he sent photos and updated me on her well being. Overall great sitter! :)”
“Rebeca is our trusted and “go to” sitter whenever we need to go out of town. Our picky geriatric fur-baby (15 yr old) loves being around her pack and always healthy and happy when we pick her up. Highly recommend and we will definitely book with Rebeca again!”
“I’m so glad we found Hannah! Our pups instantly felt comfortable and affectionate toward her, which can be harder for my more anxious pup. Hannah asked wonderful questions to understand my dogs’ needs/habits. I can tell she has a big heart for furry friends and treats them like members of the family. We got daily, thorough updates and photos so we knew what adventures they had that day and to reassure us that they felt at home. I will definitely be using Hannah again. Thank you!!”

About: Hi! I’m an active dog lover and runner who loves starting my mornings outside, and I’d love to help your pup do the same! 🐾 I know how busy work schedules can get, and sometimes dogs just need a chance to stretch their legs, burn some energy, and enjoy some fresh air. I offer morning walks and drop-ins to help your pet get exercise before the heat of the day sets in. Whether your dog needs a chill walk or to get some miles in I’ll treat them like my own. I have years of hands-on experience caring for my own animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and activity needs. Let me help your pup start their day happy, exercised, and ready to relax while you focus on whatever your day brings! 🫶🏻☀️ Im currently working as a bartender in the evenings and am studying at germanna online this semester. I enjoy getting some miles in early before it gets hot to get the day started right. Each booking I will come prepared with water, a portable bowl, and potty bags. If your dog is food motivated please feel free to leave me your dogs favorite training snack or kib to bring along for our walk. As someone with a dog who has a sensitive tummy I will never provide any food items to your dog unless it is provided and explicitly directed to.
“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”
About: I absolutely adore cats and have been lucky enough to have them throughout my whole life. Besides my personal pets, I have been working with animals my entire life. From my time at animal shelters across the state all the way to behavioral training, I have seen it all! My immense amount of care and attention stem from my love of the animals, and I will be a reliable asset to your pet family!
About: I’ve taken care of cats in the past that are a bit skittish and weary of strangers but, with time and patience, grew to like me and be friendly. I have a cat as well who can be sassy at times but very affectionate other times. I’ve learned his body language of when he wants to be loved on and when he wants personal space.
“Left my cats for a few days and she kept an eye on them while I was gone. She was very communicative, she made me feel comfortable. My shy unfriendly cat was very happy an open to her coming around. It made me happy to see them happy. THANK YOU Victoria”
“Working with Amber was a snap. She responded quickly to a last minute request, was up front when a schedule change was needed, and helped look in on my cat even when the weather was terrible.”
About: I’ve care for several cats while growing up, across different household and am diligent when it came to litter box cleanings and medication administering, I’ve been scratched and bit up to the face but the love is always the same!
“Kady loves and knows animals and it really shows. She's very communicative and professional. Kady went above and beyond to help clean up after a cat having new litter issues. She handled my 4 cats with no issues. I highly recommend her for anyone with cats and multiple animals. I will absolutely use Kady again in the future.”
About: I don’t just pop in and feed your cat, I learn their rules for their space, respect their space, and keep their routine locked in so they stay caml and collected while you’re away. Whether they’re shy, clingy, or a tiny menace, I adjust. I notice the small stuff, keep things clean, and send real updates. Medications, special diets, multi-cat drama, surprise hairballs, I adapt and love all the quirks. I earn trust on their terms, fully on cat time. I work for your cat while im in your home. They may run a tight ship but im up to the task! Hired by you, approved by them!

I’ve volunteered at a pet shelter and have hands-on experience providing loving care to animals with a variety of personalities and needs.

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, fish, snakes, pigs, and even chickens! Currently, I share my home with three beloved cats—Captain, Haven, and Slasher—and one sweet pup, Lucy, who keeps life fun and full of love. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I regularly house-sit and pet-sit for friends and family. I'm currently unemployed due to medical reasons, which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, and check-ins—even if I’m not staying overnight. I like to start with a meet and greet to get to know you and your pets. During that time, I ask clients to walk me through their routine and expectations, and I encourage leaving a detailed care list I can refer back to as needed.

I'd love the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same attention and affection I give my own. Let's chat about how I can help!

I take the time to build trust with each pet, move at their pace, and keep their daily routines as consistent as possible. I also encourage clients to leave detailed care notes to ensure nothing is missed.

“Connie was amazing with Thor! Besides being available last minute, she went above and beyond. She has a super warm personality and made Thor feel at ease right away. He was so happy to run around in her yard. She even packed some homemade treats for him to take home! She was just fantastic and I highly recommend. We will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our pup.”

“We were visiting from out of town for our sons wedding and needed a last minute sitter. Thankfully we found Megan! Olive had a great time with Megan. She was a happy and worn out pup by the time we picked her up.”
“Morgan is amazing ! I’m in the process of selling my home and had a pre-planned event prior to scheduling my open house. Morgan came to pick up my boys they had a blast and he dropped them home after the open house was over! Morgan is a great communicator and it’s evident that he loves dogs and they love him!”
“Melissa was great at taking care of Dasher Ron short notice. She communicated with me throughout the day and sent pictures. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Seyla is amazing! He was waiting outside upon arrival to greet Izzy as it was her first time. I loved that he had GPS collars for the pups. He ask important questions to tailor everything to your fur babies needs and is open to any questions or possible concerns that you may have. Seyla keeps you up to date the entire day with photos and videos. And I absolutely appreciate and loved that he gives a virtual tour so that you can see where your fur baby plays, sleeps and that he or she is always safe. Izzy had an amazing time Here. So good of a time she didn't want to come home. She will definitely be back for sure.”

“I was so happy to find this sitter! We just adopted a rescue dog. He has a lot of anxiety. He needs special care while he is adjusting to his new home. Because of his anxiety he needs a low stimulation environment. She has been so good working with my dogs special needs! I can’t say enough good about her!! We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!”
“Our high-energy rescue has been doing great with him and coming home well worn out after doggy daycare. He’s kind enough to accommodate early work hours or a change of plans. Very satisfied! We’ll be booking weekly for daycare.”

“Kimberly was great with Chase as always! She's great at communicating with us, both when things are going great and when things come up and some flexibility is needed. Her concern for Chase is the first priority and we really appreciate that. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever since I was a child, I have been taking care of animals in some capacity. From my time working in shelters across the state all the way to behavioral training, I have seen it all! I have 2 cats currently and a chocolate lab, but have owned cats and dogs throughout my life without pause. I would love to meet your fur babies too! I currently own my own business outside of pet care, which means I am free and available at any time to care for your fur babies! My schedule is completely open, and I am flexible to changes. Trust is vital when leaving your pets in the care of someone else. For me, it is simple: care for them as you’d want someone to care for your fur babies. During my time with your pets, my attention is undivided and attention to detail is thorough. Sure, it’s easy for those in a rush to forget a step or two. With me however, everything is completed to your standards and ONLY your standards!
“Jessica was a savior for us. We had to make a last minute booking and I was fortunate enough to find her profile. She was very polite and professional as well as providing plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. Our dogs had no problem warming up to her and she was extremely patient with our special needs and overly excitable pups!”
About: I’ve had plenty of dogs my entire life as well as taken care of friends and families dogs. Overnight, check ins or walking. I love walking dogs especially and playing with all animals. I will provide a safe, caring, and loving environment for your pets so you’re worry free while away from them! Currently between jobs and am a full time online college student. So I am pretty flexible!! If something doesn’t work i’ll just make that clear but I do not have many scheduled things in my day to day. I don’t mind doing feeding, walking, play time! Also don’t mind light clean up if they make a mess while you are gone. My dogs are kind of crazy so I understand messes happen! My dogs have an open back yard but if your dog is trained to walk I will be happy to take them out that way. My dogs get plenty of play time mainly with each other but i’ve done plenty of play time with them myself and can incorporate that with you dogs if they require play time! I also have dealt with older and sick dogs so I know how to be gentle and handle that. I have also had my own cat and watched others, I adore cats. Mine was sick for a while so i’m familiar with oral medication for cats and soothing cats’ anxieties as mine suffered heavily from unknown anxiety.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life and have always had pets since I was a kid. I’m really friendly with my friends’ pets and sometimes I’m more excited to see their pets than them😂. I’ve watched over some of my friends’ pets from time to time (cats and dogs). I have experience with both small dogs and large dogs as my one dog is a miniature dachshund, and my other is a Great Dane/German Shepherd Mix. I’m home from college so I’m free most of the day to care for pets whether it’s a walk, visit, to play, etc. I will be moving back to Richmond for college August 15th! I have family at home to watch my own pets so I can stop by and visit whenever if it’s at a reasonable time. I’m fairly perceptive of pet moods and, especially with cats, can tell when pets wanna be left alone or want to play. My pets all have different personalities so I can adapt fairly well to different personalities. I let pets out regularly and am down to play if they’re bored.
“Trina has been amazing with Nugget who is NOT a fan of walking. She has been resourceful to ensure he gets the most out of his walks. She is on time, communicative and provides a thorough report after each walk.”
About: Hi! I’m Cami, and I live in Fredericksburg with my husband, daughter, and our two cats. I’m a preschool teacher and have been caring for pets since I was 12 years old. Over the years, family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they’re away.

About: Hi! Taking care of animals has always been an enjoyment of mine. From helping lost or hurt animals to watching over pets, I'm always willing to take care of any animal.

I feed them on schedule and I am also able to give any oral medications as needed. I will do my very best to make sure your pet is happy and feels loved while you are away!

Pets are watched closely, mostly nearly medication administration and meal time. If desired I can feed at specific times and can adapt a medication schedule periodically for any and all fur babies.

About: I have 6 years of hands-on experience caring for my friends and family dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from large breeds like German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to smaller breeds like Yorkies and Corgis. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, couch loving dogs, playful puppies, and affectionate companions, and I understand the importance of patience, routine, exercise, and making every pet feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I recently graduated high school so my schedule is very flexible and open to provide routine dependable care for home and your pets while you are away. I always make your pets safety and well being a top priority by keeping pets in a stable safe environment including outside in yards, on walks, as well as inside their home.
About: I'm a dependable, compassionate animal lover who knows that every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, getting belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they're used to. I'll follow your pet's routine closely, provide plenty of love and patience, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, cared for, and stress-free, while making your time away as worry-free as possible. I would be honored to care for your pets and treat them like they're part of my own family! I’m currently in school for my bachelors in psychology, I have a pretty flexible schedule within the time I’m not doing school work. I will take the best care of your furry friend in your home while you're away on vacation or work trips with love and reliability.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 5 years through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m experienced with feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of love and attention while owners are away. I can comfortably administer oral medications, perform basic grooming like brushing and wiping paws, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Currently I am working from home which will allow for me to be as flexible as needed to watch all of your furry friends whenever necessary! I ensure that pets in both my home and my friends or clients' homes receive attention and loving care, tailored to their individual needs and routines.
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dog breeds my whole life. I’ve also owned cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have 2+ years of experience with taking care of bearded dragons and I’ve had a couple visits with snakes, specifically corn snakes. I work with any and all dogs/cats. I also like to send pics/videos of the pets to their owners daily for that reassurance that their fur baby is taken care of with the upmost care! I’m currently a full-time college student. I’m available any day and any time of the week. I’m usually available last minute as well and around holidays if needed. I currently have 4 dogs; 3 Yorkies and 1 Boarder Collie mix. They’re set on a twice per day feeding and their internal clock is set to those times. If I were to be in a clients home, I would do my best to ensure the animal stays in their routine and their feeding/medication is on schedule. They’d get plenty of play times and unlimited cuddles!

“This was our first time boarding our dog. We appreciated Megan's personality and her warm family. Diesel seemed super happy in every photo. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Bryan and Brooke were absolutely amazing! Thor, our Labrador Husky, had the absolute best time. They were communicative, sent pictures every single day and were just absolutely pleasant to coordinate with. I wish I had found them sooner, I will be using them exclusively from now on!”
“Our dog stayed with Connie for the first time while we were out of town for a week. She was so easy to book week with. I felt the communication was great, tons of pictures of our sweet girl playing. I know she got a ton of activity and playtime safely. Drop and pick up were easy and Connie was kind, easy to talk to, and most importantly took good care of our fur baby!”
“Seyla did an outstanding job caring for Oakyley during his stay. He took Oak on multiple daily hikes with other dogs through different parks in the area, and he kept him hydrated and cool on the hot days. Seyla provided a continuous stream of updates throughout the day about what they were up to and his feeding regimen. Seyla took very good care of our dog and made Oak part of his family for three weeks. If you are looking for someone to care for your family pet and not have to worry about what's happening, look no further! Highly recommended.”
“Our dog Reese had a great time with Mickey and his dogs. We love that Mickey has a training background and we didn't have to worry about Reese coming back with any bad behaviors. In fact, Mickey knows how to handle Reese better than we do. Another very important part to us is that Reese was hanging out with a loving family and not just kept in a crate. We will definitely board with Mickey again.”
“We couldn't ask for a better person to board our dog. Morgan is the best, he sent us updates and photos through out the boarding week. Our dog was clearly loved and received excellent care. We highly recommend Morgan to any dog owner looking for a trustworthy and loving place for their furry friend!”
“Anna was very pleasant, understands dog care and was easy to arrange things with. My 2-year-old doggo enjoyed playing with her dogs and I think he had a good time. I would definitely be pleased to book her again.”
“This was the absolute best experience with Nick and Yiqiuxi. The communication was daily with pictures. In each picture my puppy looked so happy and comfortable. They will definitely be his home away from home when I need to go out of town. I cant say Thank You enough!!”
“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”
“Traci was wonderful! She sent me updates and pictures. This was the first time I’ve ever left our girls and they fit right in at Traci’s home. I will definitely continue to us her services.”
“Lillian is amazing! She took great care of my two small pups. I was nervous leaving them as they are small (3 and 7lbs) but our meet up went well and I loved her reviews and I see why!! Lillian didn’t just “watch” my dogs but she cared for them as if they were her own. She provided lots of photos and feedback while I was away. She was flexible when I became ill after travel and I was able to extend my pups stay without worry. I am really pleased with how my pups were treated, it means the world to me because they are literally my kids. I would absolutely use Lilian again!! Thank you a million times over!”
“Christopher was pleasant to work with through scheduling and boarding. He was flexible and met my needs well even though they were a bit complicated. During my pet’s stay he sent photos and updated me on her well being. Overall great sitter! :)”
“I’m so glad we found Hannah! Our pups instantly felt comfortable and affectionate toward her, which can be harder for my more anxious pup. Hannah asked wonderful questions to understand my dogs’ needs/habits. I can tell she has a big heart for furry friends and treats them like members of the family. We got daily, thorough updates and photos so we knew what adventures they had that day and to reassure us that they felt at home. I will definitely be using Hannah again. Thank you!!”
“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.”
“Cameron was great with our dog! She was able to accommodate us with short notice and attend to the special needs of our pup. Our dog had lots of play and attention. We would definitely recommend!”
