I chose her to board him while I was away for the holidays, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to do the same. I could tell he was treated as if she was his own. Thank you!

Courtney and crew were wonderful. They treated my pups just like their own. My boys were loved and cared for during my short trip. I very much appreciated the periodic updates and pictures. This was my one puppy’s first stay away from home and he had a ball playing with another puppy. Both dogs were exhausted and happy when we got home. Thank you.

About: Hi, I’m Johnnie! With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I provide a calm, reliable, and personalized environment for every pup. Whether your dog loves high‑energy play or prefers a quiet place to relax, I tailor my care to fit their unique needs. I offer companionship, feeding, walking, grooming, and bathing, along with a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised play. Crate training or crating is available upon request. Your dog’s comfort, routine, and happiness always come first. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs each dog may have. Because I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of supervised outdoor time in my fenced yard. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind‑downs, I make sure every dog gets the right balance of exercise, enrichment, and relaxation. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s a core part of my everyday life. How I Care for Pets in My Home In my home, dogs enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment. I provide consistent routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My fully fenced yard allows for supervised outdoor play, and I tailor activities based on each dog’s energy level—whether that’s high‑energy fetch or calm relaxation. I maintain a clean, comfortable space and can accommodate crate training or crating upon request. Every dog gets personalized attention, enrichment, and plenty of affection. **How I Care for Pets in a Client’s Home** When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress‑free. I stick to the owner’s feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any special instructions. I make sure the home stays tidy, provide updates with photos, and give each pet the same level of care and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make their time away from their family feel as normal and reassuring as possible.

She also bathed and groomed him while he was with her and I got him back so clean and well groomed! She does such an amazing job and we will be coming back to her for grooming and hopefully he can visit again when we have to go out of town. She really is amazing and amazing at what she does!

About: Hi my names Amadi. Thanks for taking a second to check out my profile! I have a little over 15 years of experience in training dogs, helping with socialization skills, and general caretaking. Currently I work from home, a light schedule as I’m testing to obtain another specialty license. In my daily life I used to foster dogs for a rescue. Most of my fosters came from very rough beginnings and had many social and/or anxiety issues but we have been able to overcome them💙 With that being said I totally understand how some dogs are unsure of new people and I’m 100% willing to take the time needed to get to know your fur baby. I do currently have an iguana in his own enclosure and I have extensive reptile knowledge and I’m willing to assist with those as well. I currently have a light schedule that I work from home, so I am available for a lot of pet care needs. I do frequent bathroom visits play, and meal time. I am 100% about safety first. I will not accept any new dogs that will put anyone else in jeopardy. Although I have experience in housing a large number of dogs from my time fostering out in Goochland, and my time working in a doggy daycare, I do not wish to take on a large number of dogs at any one time.

About: I’m a mom of one boy, and one boy cat (neutered). I love all fur babies like they were my human babies. I dog sat for 6 Dalmatians at once, for 2 years, and it was a great experience! Trust me to take care of your babies, and you’ll become like family too. Willing to bathe and brush, minimal nail clipping if desired (extra services not included in base pricing). Also available for walks if needed. My son is well aware of the proper way to care for and handle animals, he may just love them too much! Let’s chat and discuss how I can help you feel comfortable with leaving your precious pets in my care. Ready to meet your littles and have a blast with them!! I am going back to college to finish my BS, Business Management, and looking to support my family financially through spending time with pets-which can easily be done as a remote student. I have experience in working with senior dogs, administering medications, and going above and beyond to look after special needs. I have stayed in homes over night on extended stays

About: I’ve grown up around animals and had several throughout the last 33 years. I really only have experience with dogs and cats, I currently have 5 cats and 2 dog. As a pet caretaker with a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt my day around each pet’s needs. I’m able to plan feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins at times that work best for both the pet and their owner. My flexibility allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even if the owner’s routine changes—while making sure the pet maintains a comfortable, steady daily rhythm. This approach helps me give attentive, personalized care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly two year old female German Shepherd loves to play. And also a male rat terrier mix. I can also crate if needed. Also lots of treats and toys!

My family has rescued and loved many animals throughout our lives and I would like nothing more than to extend that love to your pets. I am available at all times as I have retired and most of my SPCA volunteer work is done from my home. If for whatever reason I am not going to be there I will make sure you will be informed prior to my absence and my husband is available in the rare instance I am not. I have a dog boarding facility that can house up to 17 dogs of all sizes. There is a large outdoor play area and nice cozy accommodations including indoor and outdoor runs. Dogs have access to one on one play (including private walks) as well as group play depending on your preference and dog temperament.

Alison took amazing care of my French Bulldog, J3, while I was at work. J3 can be a little particular—he loves attention, has specific routines, and can be sensitive to heat—but Alison followed all instructions perfectly and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like family, but Alison truly did. Thank you again for being so reliable, loving, and attentive with J3. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!

About: I grew up with many dogs of all sizes and personalities — from calm seniors to hyper puppies — and we also fostered animals growing up. Before having children, I worked at a doggy daycare, where I learned to care for multiple pets at once. Currently, my husband and I board for family and friends, and we’re excited to expand our care to more pets because we truly love animals! I am a stay-at-home wife, so your pets will have someone at home with them throughout the day giving attention, cuddles, and care. My husband works outside of the home, but he’s happy to help and loves animals too! We have three kids (infant to 8 years old) who absolutely adore animals, and we welcome both dogs and cats of all personalities. While our 2.5-acre yard isn’t fenced, we have a dog trolley system that allows pets to safely explore and enjoy the outdoors while leashed. We also love walks, playtime, and games of fetch for dogs who enjoy daily exercise. With us, your furry family members will receive lots of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so she’s available to care for pets throughout the day. My husband is home outside of my work schedule, so together we can provide attention, supervision, and love for your dog or cat almost all day. Safety: Your pet’s safety is our top priority. While our 2.5-acre yard isn’t fully fenced, we use a dog trolley system that allows pets to safely roam and explore while remaining leashed. Inside the home, pets are supervised at all times. Trust: We treat every pet like family, providing attentive care, consistent routines, and regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Environment: Our home is loving, calm, and kid-friendly, with plenty of space for pets to play, rest, and feel comfortable. We welcome dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities.

About: I've been passionate about caring for dogs since I was a child. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of walking and looking after many dogs for friends and neighbors. My experience spans a variety of breeds with different needs and behaviors. My friendly, confident, and kind approach ensures that every dog feels safe and loved in my care. Whether it's my own dog, KoKo, or a new furry friend, I am dedicated to providing the best care possible and ensuring that your furbaby enjoys a luxurious experience filled with love, attention, and fun activities. As a full-time student who spends most of my time at home, incorporating pet care into my daily routine is a breeze! Whether I'm taking a break from studying to enjoy a fun play session, going for a refreshing walk, or simply cuddling up with a furry friend while reading, pets seamlessly fit into my schedule. I love having the companionship and energy that pets bring, making each day more joyful and balanced. Caring for dogs is a passion of mine, and I ensure they receive all the love and attention they need. Each dog's routine is tailored to their individual needs and may include regular feeding, playtime, and exercise. I take dogs on invigorating walks and to the local dog park for socialization and fun. With my small breed dog, KoKo, as a companion, your dog will always have a playmate and a friend. Whether it's engaging in stimulating activities or enjoying some relaxing downtime, I make sure every dog feels at home and well-cared for.

About: I have over 7 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician and small animal groomer. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and dogs with medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing signs of illness or stress, and handling dogs safely and calmly. I focus on routine, structure, and positive, low-stress care so your dog feels secure and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, medications, and extended care without time constraints. With my background as a veterinary technician, safety and attention to detail are second nature to me. I carefully follow all owner instructions, monitor eating, litter habits, and behavior, and watch for early signs of illness or distress. I ensure doors and windows are secure, maintain a clean environment, and treat every home with respect. I communicate promptly and clearly so you feel confident your cat is in experienced, capable hands.

About: When I was 12, I was gifted my first dog named Midnight. I had him until I was 18 years old and going away to college. Life had been tough financially so I made the tough decision to find him a better home. This fueled my passion for Animal care and now animal rescue. Now I’m a senior biology major at North Carolina Wesleyan, trying to gain more experience. I’m working part-time, so my schedule is pretty clear through the week. Well, when I’m not in class. However classes are ending soon so I’ll have plenty of free time to help others. In my own home, I have set schedules for my dogs and I also have a cat but caring for her is quite easy. For a client, I look forward to following any directions that are requested of me.

Walking, tug o war, Frisbee, tennis balls, you name it and we can make it happen

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed simply being in their presence! I adore teaching old and young dogs new tricks and give exceptional care and cater to each individual pet! I also provide additional services such as bathing during the stay! I currently work part time at Ace Hardware. I am looking for a side hustle and have plenty of time to cater to your pet! I have other dogs so I do not offer pets in my home, but I offer exceptional care to dogs in your own home! I can easily put them in a crate as well as feeding them on time and taking them out to potty as needed! I will also spend lots of time with them as I very much enjoy being around animals. I have basic vet knowledge as well and can tell when something is wrong!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and had several throughout the last 33 years. I really only have experience with dogs and cats, I currently have 5 cats and 2 dog. As a pet caretaker with a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt my day around each pet’s needs. I’m able to plan feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins at times that work best for both the pet and their owner. My flexibility allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even if the owner’s routine changes—while making sure the pet maintains a comfortable, steady daily rhythm. This approach helps me give attentive, personalized care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly two year old female German Shepherd loves to play. And also a male rat terrier mix. I can also crate if needed. Also lots of treats and toys!

About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!

I provide pet care in Richmond and Charlottesville and the surrounding areas, though I am also happy to travel to other states with advanced notice. I have a breadth of experience caring for my former pets and my home, as well as house and pet sitting for friends and for my clients. I grew up on a farm and cared for goats, horses, cows, dogs, cats, sheep, and poultry. I make an excellent house/petsitter due to my experience with and love for animals and my tidy and loving personality! ** I charge $45 / night for 1-6 night house stays, but have a sliding scale for longer sits (negotiable at the time of request). I am open to traveling farther distances for 1+ week sits.

For boarding requests, my partner works from my home and is available to offer potty breaks/check-ins for pets while I’m at school. I’m happy with staying overnight for housesitting or sharing my home for boarding! I have the utmost care and respect for my clients pets and homes and treat them as if they were my own.

About: I believe that all fur babies deserve to be spoiled just as I spoil my own! I love to give treats and usually have dog treats with me anywhere I go. I do have a full time job but I have a very flexible schedule and work from home. I begin my visits as early as 630 am and can do visits until 10pm in the evening. I work from home so I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have open availability on the weekends. I know the stress being away from my furbaby in the past I couldn't relax because I worried about her safety the whole time I was gone. Which is why I keep you in the loop about your pet when they are in my care, you won't have to hunt me down to make sure they are having fun. We make sure that we practice safe departures so that your dog is safe and

Courtney and crew were wonderful. They treated my pups just like their own. My boys were loved and cared for during my short trip. I very much appreciated the periodic updates and pictures. This was my one puppy’s first stay away from home and he had a ball playing with another puppy. Both dogs were exhausted and happy when we got home. Thank you.

About: Hi, I’m Johnnie! With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I provide a calm, reliable, and personalized environment for every pup. Whether your dog loves high‑energy play or prefers a quiet place to relax, I tailor my care to fit their unique needs. I offer companionship, feeding, walking, grooming, and bathing, along with a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised play. Crate training or crating is available upon request. Your dog’s comfort, routine, and happiness always come first. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs each dog may have. Because I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of supervised outdoor time in my fenced yard. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind‑downs, I make sure every dog gets the right balance of exercise, enrichment, and relaxation. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s a core part of my everyday life. How I Care for Pets in My Home In my home, dogs enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment. I provide consistent routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My fully fenced yard allows for supervised outdoor play, and I tailor activities based on each dog’s energy level—whether that’s high‑energy fetch or calm relaxation. I maintain a clean, comfortable space and can accommodate crate training or crating upon request. Every dog gets personalized attention, enrichment, and plenty of affection. **How I Care for Pets in a Client’s Home** When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress‑free. I stick to the owner’s feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any special instructions. I make sure the home stays tidy, provide updates with photos, and give each pet the same level of care and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make their time away from their family feel as normal and reassuring as possible.
