“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
“Stephan and his family were great with Lucy. This was the first time she stayed with Stephen. We received a lot of updates, pictures and maps with their walks during the time we were away. It was easy to see Lucy was happy and being nurtured.”
“Jeanette was amazing with my babies. She was very nice and responsive and sent lots of pictures. My puppies seemed like they had a lot of fun. Will definitely be coming back again for future puppy sitting needs.”
“Denise was great and my pup had a great time playing with the other pups. She was super responsive with updates and would send me pictures daily during my pups long weekend stay. Will use again.”
“I did a lot of homework and reviewing of boarders for my 1.5-year-old, 70 lb. Aussie/golden before landing on Robin because of her amazing reviews and years of experience. We had just had a terrible board and train situation leaving him with some pressure sores and anxiety. I am so glad I chose Robin though. She allowed me to come out a month before booking to see her facilities, get to know me and my pup, and to explain how his days would be going. Ollie looked so incredibly comfortable around her then I started calling our vacation his summer camp. She sent pictures almost daily of Ollie running around and playing with other pups. He came back to me 5 lb. lighter than before because of it (he needed it!) and I can also tell that she kept up with his training that we have been working on which I greatly appreciated. He actually looked disappointed to go home! We will of course be back and will tell everyone we know who needs a boarder! Thank you, Robin!”
“They took care of them very well! We were worried because our dogs have limited human interactions, but she assured us that they were really good. We were very scared putting them in someone else's care but they did above and beyond, especially for the dogs temperaments. Thank you!”
“I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.”
“Thank YOU!!! It's wonderful to have a place for him to stay near home and where he gets outside with other dogs. We are very happy. We don't board him often, but we will definitely rebook with you when we do.”
“A caring environment for my dog who is my only child. I breathed a sigh of relief when I got the first picture. This was his first stay and it was brief, but I anticipate Lorena' s home becoming Jinxy's home away from home. He is scheduled for a longer stay in the next week.”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“Our senior dog is always so well taken care of and loved on staying here. I can tell Moose feels right at home and comfortable from all the pictures shared! It is so comforting knowing that he is in such good hands while we are away- thank you Amy!”
“Cyndi was awesome! Kept both of our 100+ pounders and never flinched! They were so happy with her I thought they may not want to come home! We will definitely be booking another stay with Cyndi!”
“Sheri is amazing, amazing and even more amazing! She took care of my little pal just like I would. I received daily pics and updates and I can't say enough great things about her care. Thanks again for everything!”
“Wonderful experience ! Heather and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. They were flexible and extended the stay for our dogs when we needed to stay an extra day. The dogs were very happy and enjoyed playing with her little girls. I will definitely request Heather when we board our pups.”
“Paula was amazing! She took great care of my dogs over thanksgiving and they had such a good time. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies because I know she took great care of mine :)”
“We had our first experience with Amanda and family, and it was a long stay, over the holidays. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, loving, and kind family to take care of Rufus. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond—even the whole family came out together during the initial meet and greet to meet him, which meant so much to us, and I had no doubts our dog was going to have the best time and be in such great care. Rufus was treated like one of their own, made fast friends with Amanda’s dog (a bigger win than one might realize!) , and absolutely loved having the space to run around and play. We were so grateful for all the updates and communication throughout his stay—it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Their flexibility was also such a gift during a busy time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Amanda again and recommending them 100% to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of Rufus!”
“Charissa, as always , was great with our German Shepherd. We have comlete trust in her ability to handle our dog who can be a bit much at times. We can confidently leave our dog knowing she is in good hands.”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Such a great experience! Communication was incredible. We received several photos and updates every day. In every photo Jud looked relaxed and content. I highly recommend Mark and Daniel for boarding!”
“Heather has a great setup for a dog like ours: lots of playmates and a fenced yard to play in. We wanted Chewy to get a fun-filled vacation complete with lots of running and roughhousing with other dogs. We think he got it because he's been sleeping two days straight, LoL.”
“Sharisse and her family were great hosts!! Mateo felt comfortable from the moment he got there!! She sent photos and videos of him playing, walking and having fun. We will definitely rebook. Thank you for taking such good care of him while I enjoyed my vacation.”

About: I have been taking care of a farm and many animals on it. Four dogs and 2 teenagers. I have been watching and taking care of animals for a long time and I very much know what they need or like!

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 grown up with dogs my entire life and I adore them. I have two dogs of my own, a 12 year old Border Collie mix and a two year old Australian Shepherd, and I volunteer down at the Richmond Animal Shelter every week so I'm used to handling a variety of dogs! I have a very flexible schedule and I would love to work with dogs of any activity level, age, or size! I definitely understand the importance of frequent potty breaks, consistent meal times, and lots of love and playtime! Also, punctuality is something that I take very seriously so you won't have to worry about me being late! But most importantly, I know how special your dog is to you and I will look after him or her as if he or she were my own! I look forward to getting to know both you and your sweet pup! :)
About: As an animal care professional, I have not only worked with many different house cats but I also work with many big cats as well! I pride myself in reading feline behavior and am more than willing to accommodate to your cat or cats!
“Riley, you are a very special person!! You took in our little Chocolate when she was ill and we didn’t know if she would make it. You loved on her and helped her pull through. You offered her a bigger environment should she grow strong enough. You provided updates and pictures for the duration of our extended trip. We are extremely thankful that we found you! ❤️🐈⬛ Thank you so much for all you did for us and our little girl!”
About: I have owned and taken care of family cats and dogs for 10 years. I've pet sat for friends/family before and given pills/oral medicine when needed. I can walk dogs, and do most of the daily tasks (feeding, litter boxes, etc) your pet needs! I've worked with pets in a professional capacity as a veterinary assistant, so I'm comfortable around all kinds of animals, big and small. I also worked with songbirds for several years while at university and can handle, feed, and care for them. Your pet will be happy and safe in my hands and you can rest easy while away from home! When I'm a clients home I take care to ensure everything is left better than how I found it. I keep everything clean and tidy. Your pet deserves the best care. I am taking the summer off before graduate school so I have a relatively open schedule for walks, drop in visits, etc. Just chat with me to set up a time or schedule that will work best with me!
“Kyleigh C. Has a caring kind personality. She's was very loving and attentive to my furbaby cat. She showed up on time each day. Was ver Responsible. She played with him, she fed him, gave him treats, and she even locked up the house after her shift was done. I would recommend her and I will use her again for my furbaby sitting services.”
About: I've had pets my entire life and have been given more responsibilities with age. I have a dog a cat, and a horse that all need special care from ear infection treatments to prescription drugs. My family and I have also cared for many stray cats and even fostered one's six kittens. I’m currently a college student on summer break and I’m available during many periods in the day. These time periods are perfect for me to give your furry family members a walk, pets, and food! I am super enthusiastic about getting outside and love to go on long walks with my dog. I can also pop in to feed your furry friend and give them attention when you're away.
“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.”
“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.”

“Simply amazing! I believe Charissa is a dog whisperer! She has this positive, calm, authoritative aura about her. My young puppy gets out of the car and runs to her which is reassuring when you’re leaving your dog in someone else’s care. Their facilities are well set up to accommodate multiple dogs, very clean and tidy, and they are well organized. I receive multiple photos and a doggy report card after every stay. Clearly a professional!”

“Kelsi and her family were wonderful hosts to Fin! They were adaptable as I needed a last minute pet sit for a couple of hours. Fin loved hanging at their house and he was super comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with Kelsi again!”
“Vannessa is very reliable and sweet! My puppy loves her. She sends pics/vids throughout the day. Its a bonus that she lives 5mins from me. Grateful to have found her as I wasn’t expecting to get Ace so soon. So thank you very much for all you do, it is more than appreciated!”

About: I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. Caring for my four legged friends (sometimes 3) has always been my specialty! When I was little I would bring hurt/lost animals home to my mom and we'd care for them until they were better, or until we found the owners!

I’m very flexible, and can work around my normal everyday work schedule to accommodate your pets needs! My pets are treated just like family members, and I would treat your companions just the same. Our pets are more than just “pets” - they are family.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and horses since I was 15. I have had pets my whole life. I have owned various breeds of dogs and cats. I have pet sat for all kinds of dogs, cats and horses and look forward to caring for your animals! I've had experience caring for various aged animals and am comfortable with all kinds.

About: I have been blessed to grow up with a variety of animals in and around my home. I’ve had a variety of dogs that have ranged from 12lbs to 200lbs. I’ve also had cats in the home, as well. I have taken care of the basics of feeding them, giving clean water (daily), maintaining the litter box (as needed) and even giving insulin injections (to both felines and dogs). I’ve trained many of my larger breed dogs and my service dog. Bathing, feeding, walking and not just for my pets, but also friends & family. Since my sweet Bella (pictured) passed I actually have a 20lb Boston Terrier, named Lucy, now. I also live on a farm where we have 3 miniature horses and one thoroughbred big boy. I’m very flexible in my schedule and if I was needed to stay for extended periods of time, my animals would be taken care of. I’ve been on medical disability for 4 1/2yrs now. Other than my appointments I have throughout the week, my only other commitment is the upkeep of my home and taking care of my animals. I would not be bringing clients pets to my home, as it’s a spacious and fenced in yard; however, we have one dog who doesn’t play well with others. In a client’s home, unless asked by the owner, the only thing I would remove from the home (temporarily), would be the pet. I’m very cautious with another’s fur baby; so, I would treat it as my own with love, snuggles and a gentle touch. I’m always aware of my surroundings, especially with something so precious, to another. I’ve always been described as very trustworthy and compassionate, with people, as well as, with their animals. Pampering and maintaining a secure environment for your animal(s), no matter the type or the amount you may have. This way, you know that one of your family members is in the best hands possible while you take a vacation for your own self-care.
“We had a great walk yesterday. Rochelle was great. She walked Prince and handled him very well. She also learned some of our walking routes as well as side streets of Ashland.”
About: My husband and I have an 11 year old German short haired pointer and recently lost our 13 year old Wheaten Terrier/King Charles Spaniel mix. I have taken care of my parents dogs when they are out of town and have stayed at many client’s homes the past several years to care for their dogs while they are on vacation. I would feed them twice a day and give potty breaks before and after work. I work for GCPS from 745-315 so I would be available for afternoon / evening drop-ins / walks and any days that school is closed. I love spending time with dogs and cats, whether it's outside playing or cuddling in the house. I have given my dogs medication to swallow when prescribed by their veterinarian as well as cleaning out their ears every 2-3 times a week for normal hygiene. I will follow all duties assigned to me to care for your pet. I work on the Goochland County Public Schools calendar from 745-315 Monday - Friday unless other wise stated on the calendar. I would be available all day on the days school is closed. I will provide feedings, potty breaks, walks, inside/outside activities as needed/wanted per your request. I enjoy cuddling and petting with pets, if that is what they enjoy.

About: Hi! I'm Heather — a lifelong animal lover who has rarely spent a single day without a dog by my side. I've been caring for dogs my entire life and currently share my home with four dogs of my own — a 9lb Chihuahua, a 9lb Yorkie-Chi mix, a 50lb Lab mix, and a 75lb Red Retriever — plus a cat and some fish. Safe to say animals are my life! After losing a beloved dog who was poorly cared for at a kennel, I became passionate about providing the kind of attentive, loving care that every pet deserves. I know how much trust it takes to hand your fur baby to someone else — and I take that seriously. I'm available for drop in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. I'm comfortable with all sizes and breeds and happy to accommodate cats too. I'll always follow your specific instructions and send plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing. Your pet isn't just a booking to me — they're family. 💙 Pet care isn't something I fit into my routine — it IS my routine. I'm home all day with four dogs of my own, so visiting or caring for your pet fits naturally into my day. I'm available mornings, afternoons and evenings and can be flexible around your schedule. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought — they'll get my full attention during every visit. When I visit your home I treat it with the same respect and care I would want someone to show mine. I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medications, special routines, off-limit areas — nothing is too detailed. I grew up understanding that pets are family members, not just animals, and that the trust you place in someone entering your home is significant. I take that seriously every single time. You'll always receive photos and updates during every visit so you know your baby is happy and well cared for.
About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to your pets needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of pet personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

I am comfortable with the daily routines of walking, feeding time, grooming, and anything you would need me to help with your fur baby!
About: I’ve been watching both cats and dogs for friends and neighbors for a few years now, and now that I have more flexibility in my schedule I would love to provide my services to others! I work fully remotely and have a ton of flexibility to take care of your pets! If i’m not on vacation, i’m usually free to help :) I live in an apartment with my two-year-old chihuahua mix, Archie! Plenty of opportunities to run around the fenced dog area or ride over to a trail or park for more activity. If i’m dropping in, i’m happy to do whatever activities your pet loves and keep their routine going!
About: I worked as a pet care specialist at a pet resort and worked there for two years. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am used to giving medications, dealing with different breeds, feeding and walking as well as temperament levels. I have a dog of my own who is my world. I promise to treat your pet like they are my own and to be organized and caring when it comes to every aspect of taking care of your pet. I have been around all types of dogs and cats as well. I’m willing to take the time to learn about your pet and do whatever care they need in order to be comfortable and safe. I will always do my best at all times. I work full time during the week but am available for overnight stays during the week and weekends as needed. My work schedule is 8-5pm. While Petsitting in the clients home, I always make sure to be aware of my surroundings and others while out and about on walks as well as maintaining the safety of the clients home.

“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
“Stephan and his family were great with Lucy. This was the first time she stayed with Stephen. We received a lot of updates, pictures and maps with their walks during the time we were away. It was easy to see Lucy was happy and being nurtured.”
“Jeanette was amazing with my babies. She was very nice and responsive and sent lots of pictures. My puppies seemed like they had a lot of fun. Will definitely be coming back again for future puppy sitting needs.”
“Denise was great and my pup had a great time playing with the other pups. She was super responsive with updates and would send me pictures daily during my pups long weekend stay. Will use again.”
“I did a lot of homework and reviewing of boarders for my 1.5-year-old, 70 lb. Aussie/golden before landing on Robin because of her amazing reviews and years of experience. We had just had a terrible board and train situation leaving him with some pressure sores and anxiety. I am so glad I chose Robin though. She allowed me to come out a month before booking to see her facilities, get to know me and my pup, and to explain how his days would be going. Ollie looked so incredibly comfortable around her then I started calling our vacation his summer camp. She sent pictures almost daily of Ollie running around and playing with other pups. He came back to me 5 lb. lighter than before because of it (he needed it!) and I can also tell that she kept up with his training that we have been working on which I greatly appreciated. He actually looked disappointed to go home! We will of course be back and will tell everyone we know who needs a boarder! Thank you, Robin!”
“They took care of them very well! We were worried because our dogs have limited human interactions, but she assured us that they were really good. We were very scared putting them in someone else's care but they did above and beyond, especially for the dogs temperaments. Thank you!”
“I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.”
“A caring environment for my dog who is my only child. I breathed a sigh of relief when I got the first picture. This was his first stay and it was brief, but I anticipate Lorena' s home becoming Jinxy's home away from home. He is scheduled for a longer stay in the next week.”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“Cyndi was awesome! Kept both of our 100+ pounders and never flinched! They were so happy with her I thought they may not want to come home! We will definitely be booking another stay with Cyndi!”
“Sheri is amazing, amazing and even more amazing! She took care of my little pal just like I would. I received daily pics and updates and I can't say enough great things about her care. Thanks again for everything!”
“Wonderful experience ! Heather and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. They were flexible and extended the stay for our dogs when we needed to stay an extra day. The dogs were very happy and enjoyed playing with her little girls. I will definitely request Heather when we board our pups.”
“Paula was amazing! She took great care of my dogs over thanksgiving and they had such a good time. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies because I know she took great care of mine :)”
“We had our first experience with Amanda and family, and it was a long stay, over the holidays. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, loving, and kind family to take care of Rufus. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond—even the whole family came out together during the initial meet and greet to meet him, which meant so much to us, and I had no doubts our dog was going to have the best time and be in such great care. Rufus was treated like one of their own, made fast friends with Amanda’s dog (a bigger win than one might realize!) , and absolutely loved having the space to run around and play. We were so grateful for all the updates and communication throughout his stay—it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Their flexibility was also such a gift during a busy time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Amanda again and recommending them 100% to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of Rufus!”
“Charissa, as always , was great with our German Shepherd. We have comlete trust in her ability to handle our dog who can be a bit much at times. We can confidently leave our dog knowing she is in good hands.”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Such a great experience! Communication was incredible. We received several photos and updates every day. In every photo Jud looked relaxed and content. I highly recommend Mark and Daniel for boarding!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with my 7-month-old large-breed puppy, Buck! She watched him for four days and took such great care of him. She followed all of my instructions carefully, sent frequent photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind, and was thoughtful and communicative throughout his stay. Buck came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious Sarah genuinely loves dogs and takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for as if they were her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring Rover sitter!”
“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”
“From the very start, Matt impressed us with his prompt, thoughtful, and thorough communication. That same level of care carried through our meet-and-greet and throughout our puppy’s stay. We loved receiving his twice-daily updates and photos — it was clear our dog was not only well cared for but truly happy. When we returned from our trip abroad, jet lagged and exhausted, Matt gladly agreed to keep our pup an extra night so we could rest. When we picked him up, it was obvious how loved and well looked after he’d been. We couldn’t recommend Matt more highly and will definitely be booking with him again.”
