“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!”
“My Penelope got the opportunity to spend time with Damacia. The best care was given to Miss P she came home nice and tired. Damacia sent pictures of her and kept me informed. Give Damacia a try. You won’t be disappointed and you can enjoy your trip with a peace of mind.”
“Im so glad my little guy got to stay with Emily and her daughter! He came home happy and healthy, and Emily sent some photos and updates while we were away. Great and quick to communicate! Highly recommend.”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our big, fluffy, Luna, who can certainly be exuberant at times! She kept me updated several times a day with great pictures. I would 100 percent use her again!”
“We just moved to the area and Pamela and Paul watched our anxious dog Harley for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Harley did not show any of her typical anxiety cues and she had a great time at their home and with their sweet dog Marlowe. I highly recommend them as sitters and we look forward to more stays in the future.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic. She was so attentive to our dogs. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. She sent us pictures to update us. We are so happy with her.”
“This was Luna’s second stay with Laura and DJ. When Luna started wagging her tail the second she heard their voices. She is so happy there- it is truly her home away from home. Laura is wonderful with sending us pictures and videos. We are so grateful to have found such a loving family for our pup to go to when we are away.”
“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!”
About: I have had at least one dog all of my life. Often times more than one. Currently living with just one Lab who would love a visitor/playmate. I foster emergency overnights on rescue transports. I have been a caregiver for dogs of all ages and kinds; puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I have grandcats I house sit for and have also taken care of chickens. I work from home with tons of flexibility. I have one adult child at home in graduate school, they have a health condition which keeps them home most days too, so your pet is never short of human companionship. I live in a great neighborhood for walks on a leash. I provide dog sitting in a one story home with a large, wooded fenced yard in central Richmond neighborhood. Great for dogs of all ages and abilities. I live with one Lab that's a large couch potato. He also likes his human to sit outside with him rather than be out there all by himself. So we spend lots of time outside together. Pets are permitted on furniture and the bed, whatever makes them feel at home. I do have a large dog crate that can be set up if needed, but only if requested as it will put your pet at ease. The most important factor is making sure your pet feels comfortable, keeping their routines and habits to lessen the stress of a new place.
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“Nathan did a phenomenal job with our dog Moose. He was attentive, patient, and met us for a meet and greet which helped out a ton. He was very easy to work with, flexible, and thorough. We would definitely book a stay with Nathan again.”
“Cassandre is the best. She and her family provide such a fun and safe environment for our dog when we are away. Cassandre is a genuine dog lover, and we have so much peace of mind knowing that our dog is in the care of someone who loves him as much as we do.”
“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.”
“Doris was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my fur baby, and it was clear he adored her. She is kind, attentive, thorough, and very professional. She kept me updated throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“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!”

“Cate was amazing! She dropped in for daily visits with my two cats and provided updates and photos each day. She was also very accommodating when small issues arose. I would definitely book with Cate again in the future!”
“Meghan is great. She even coaxed my very shy Beans out of his usual hidey-hole. This is the second time we have used her services and will do so again. Highly recommend Meghan!”

“Cynthia did a fantastic job taking care of my cat! She made sure she always had water, a clean litter box, and a little play time. She updated me with each visit and gave a thorough report card to let me know how things were going. I would definitely recommend Cynthia as a cat sitter and book her for future trips.”
“Carolyn did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, and followed instructions perfectly. She even left a light on for me when I returned home late tonight, which was a pleasant surprise!! Would definitely recommend!!”
“Brandi is fantastic. She played with our cat, kept things and liter box clean, and made sure he was fed.. She kept him happy the week we were gone and he wasn’t even angry at us when we got home.”

“Oh my goodness Kim is a phenomenal cat sitter!! We came back from a 6 day trip and our picky senior cats acted like we’d never been gone. She sent great pics of them each day so I could see all the love and attention they were getting. Kim was also kind enough to handle mail and packages, and even left us a lovely welcome home treat. We’ve had mixed experiences with others in the past and it’s comforting to find someone who treats your pets and home so thoughtfully. So glad we found her!”
“My Louie can be a bit of a challenge… and Esther was great with him! She was patient while he warmed up to her, sending me photos and information along the way. He actually looked like he was smiling! I came home to a happy, healthy pup. Thank you, Esther! We can’t wait to use you again!”

“Sheri was incredible. Made plenty of time for our dog and made sure he was comfortable and received lots of care. Sent pics and updates throughout the day. Will 100% call her again if we need a sitter!”
“Bentley really enjoyed his dog sit with Aileen and her family. Everything went well. Kept me informed of how much fun he was having and sent pictures. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Loren has been absolutely amazing. She responded very quickly, we had a fantastic meet & greet, and I knew she'd take great care of Professor. He had a great time spending the day with Loren. I'd highly recommend her!”
“Sorry for the late review. I've been doing the grandma thing for the past 2 weeks. I am a widow and I live alone many miles from family. My dogs, Margot and Molly, have become my life. When I learned that they were not invited to the party, I almost declined the invitation. Through a trusted friend, I learned about Rover. I took a chance and booked a time with Dawn. WOW! It's like taking your child to kindergarten for the first day and they walk away from you without looking back. I like to think the girls are good judges of character. Well Dawn took their leashes and they walked away from me without looking back They were not the least stressed when I picked them up later. They had play time with other dogs, they had their dinner and they were ready for a good night's sleep when I picked them up. I got updates on where they were and what they were doing. I couldn't be happier than I was with Dawn's care. This experience was a golden buzzer for me.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have cared for dogs throughout all stages of life. My days are flexible and I’m easy to get a hold of, so you can expect your pup to get quality care and attention however they need it! I’m currently in between jobs and grad school, so my days are very open! I am up early and live an active lifestyle, so walks and playtime (and chill time) are more than welcome! I am available to care for your pet at my home or from yours. I do have a 10 year old Westie at home who gets along with others just fine! However if you prefer the individualized attention, I am more than happy to care for your pet from the comfort of their own home.
“I’m so grateful for Pamela & Paul. They make every effort to do what is best for my dog (exercise, food, social) and let me know if there’s a concern. My dog is so very happy when she sees we have arrived at their house. She can’t wait to go inside.”
“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!”
“Andreea was very professional and took good care of our 1 year old golden retriever Theo. Theo is an energetic dog due to his age and Andreea was able to manage his energy. She has a big backyard and couple of dogs herself which made Theo’s time enjoyable and I could see Theo wanted to spend more time with her. Overall a great experience and would recommend Andreea to everyone.”
About: I have had my own dogs since my early 20’s, and I’d probably have about ten more if I could. Everyone in our family has dogs, ranging from tiny Yorkipoos to big ol’ lab mixes, and I love them all! I currently have one rescue pup, Russell, who is 19 different breeds! I am patient, I don’t get grossed out easily, and I will love your pup like it’s a member of the family. My husband and I are both teachers, so we are home full-time during the summer with our two teenage kids. During the school year we work, but I’m usually home by 3:30. Our 13-year old daughter is interested in pursuing a career working with animals, so she will be assisting in the care of your pet. We have a large fenced yard and a dog-friendly house. We even have a doggie door for pups to come and go outside to the back yard as they need or want to. We have one 5-year old dog who gets along great with other pups. Usually when we dog sit, we have the visiting pup have a home base in our daughter’s room where they can be fed separately, have peace and quiet, and enjoy the best air conditioning in the house! We are a dogs on furniture house, and she even loves to let the dogs we are sitting sleep in her bed with her if they want. Your dog should expect many pets and snuggles at our house! If we are coming to your house, we will follow whatever routines and rules you’ve established for your pet. But still expect lots of love for your pet!
About: Hi! My husband and I have both had dogs since we were young kids. We currently have a senior dog (female) and a puppy (male 11months). Both are Australian shepherds. We also have two kids (6 and 8). We have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages and needs. :) We have a fenced in yard and our puppy would love someone to play with during the day. I am home with my kids pretty much all summer, so I’m available most of the day. Dogs will need to be good with other dogs and young children as well as spayed/neutered. We have a puppy, so I am in and out all day to take him outside and play with him. I am also home with my kids all summer, so we are at home a lot! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. They are both crate trained, although our senior dog is left out when we leave. I have an extra small crate (or you can bring one). We love dogs and would treat yours like our own.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.
“Cindy is a wonder! My scaredy-dog loves her, and went to her willingly even though it had been a long time since his last visit. She asked if I’d like her to give him a bath, and that was a very welcome addition. Thank you Cindy!”
About: Hi! My name is Doris, and I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that pets are family, so I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and kindness I would give my own. I was the proud dog mom of a Miniature Pinscher named Penny, and I adored her like family. Caring for her was a meaningful part of my daily life. Every Sunday, I prepared her fresh meals—meal-prepping wet food to mix with her dry kibble to ensure a balanced and enjoyable diet. I built my routine around her needs, including walks before leaving home and as soon as I returned, along with consistent activity throughout the day to keep her happy and engaged. I personally trained her, and she was crate-trained, comfortably settling in at night. She knew a variety of commands, including roll over, paw, other paw, along with all basic obedience cues. During the time I wasn’t actively caring for Penny, I invested in learning more about dog behavior by reading books and educating myself on different breeds, temperaments, and training approaches. This allows me to adapt my care style to meet each dog’s unique needs. I’m also an aunt to a husky named Rocky and a terrier mix named Marty, so I’m familiar with varying energy levels and personalities. Whether your dog is high-energy, routine-driven, or more relaxed, I adjust my approach to ensure they feel comfortable and understood. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment and only accept pets from one family at a time to ensure focused, attentive care. I am very mindful of each pet’s routine—whether that includes specific feeding schedules, multiple walks per day, medication, or limits on how long they can be left alone. I maintain a structured schedule and am typically available before and after work, as well as on weekends. With advance notice, I can accommodate more involved care needs. My goal is to provide consistency so your pet feels at ease and at home. I also believe communication is key, so I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep you connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy. 🐾 Pet care is something I intentionally plan around and prioritize in my daily routine. I tailor my care based on each dog’s specific needs—such as the minimum number of walks per day, how long they can be left alone, and whether they require medication at set times. I’m typically home in the evenings and fully available on weekends. With at least two weeks’ notice, I can also request time off for bookings that require more daytime attention. When I do step out, it’s usually for short periods (5 hours or less), and I return home for the remainder of the day aside from occasional errands. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so I make it a point each day to incorporate walks, playtime, feeding, and quality one-on-one attention. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also make it a standard practice to send regular updates, including photos and videos, so you can feel connected and at ease while your pet is in my care. In terms of availability, I maintain a structured schedule and am typically available before and after work, as well as on weekends. If your pet has specific timing needs, I’m happy to discuss and accommodate when possible. For bookings that require a higher level of care—such as frequent walks (e.g., every 2 hours) or detailed routines—I kindly ask for at least two weeks’ notice. A meet and greet 2–3 weeks prior to the scheduled stay is strongly preferred to ensure I can fully prepare and provide the best experience for your pet. My priority is always your pet’s safety, wellbeing, and making them feel as relaxed and at home as possible. 🐾 I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet in my care. To ensure the highest level of attention and safety, I only accept pets from one family at a time. This allows me to maintain a clean space and give your pup(s) my full focus, especially since managing interactions between unfamiliar dogs can require extra supervision and quick response in case of emergencies. When pets come from the same household, I’m able to rely on the dog parents’ insight into their behavior and routines, which helps me provide more personalized care from the start. I live in an apartment with a secure balcony, a dog park, and a safe, walkable neighborhood with night lighting for added visibility during walks. The building also has secured cameras at the entrance for an extra layer of safety. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and following their usual routines for feeding, exercise, and rest.
“Ashley and her family were wonderful in watching my sweet puppy Banks for the day! I was in desperate need of a last minute sitter and Ashley stepped in to help. This was my first time away from Banks and I was overjoyed that he came home happy and well cared for! I would absolutely hire Ashely again and I am so thankful for such an amazing experience :)”
“Laura took great care of my pup! She was communicative and shared helpful updates/photos. Her dog Maple is a wonderful playmate! Our dog looks forward to returning to Laura’s house again soon.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and enjoy playing and socializing with them. I have walked other peoples dogs and taken care of friends and neighbors cats. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule. And I can work around your needs. I have a fenced in yard and I have a cat that is used to being around a dog. If your dog cannot be around cats, I can make sure that they do not interact.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring dog lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or feeding, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs.

Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to stick closely to your dog’s routine, provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. Your dog will never be left alone for long and will be treated like part of the family. I care for pets as if they were my own, with safety, trust, and comfort as my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm environment with a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. I also have crates available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet, safe space to relax.
“Always satisfied with Srujana’s care and enthusiasm when looking after Tenor. The pup always comes back happy, and most importantly, tuckered you after playing with Rex all day.”

“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”
“Shannon was huge help walking our dog Nora after my foot surgery. She was responsible, communicative, and took some cute pictures of Nora during their walks! We will definitely book again.”
“Loren was great with my dog. She showed up every day she was scheduled for. I did deduct a star because one day she forgot to close my garage door on her way out and didn't notify me. She also came an hour and a half early one day without giving me a head's up. Overall she was still reliable and treated my dog with care.”
“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”

“Brandi was so great with my dogs while I was away. She sent me a detailed report about their behaviors while on their walk. I received multiple great pictures of my babies attached to the report and it made me feel so much better while I was away. As someone who is a first time user of Rover, I am so glad to have found someone who is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to help in any way she can. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone who loves their furbabies”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs my whole life, and 6 years ago my husband and I adopted a large rescue dog from Eastern Europe. She’s had a lot of anxiety and nervousness, but with lots of love, training, and patience she’s come a long way and fully trusts us now. I work remotely which means I have more time to devote to pet care and allows me some flexibility with my hours. I'm very patient and attune to animals needs and have experience around many breeds, needs and sizes. The happiness and safety of your pet is my biggest concern. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, and I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Being at home allows me a lot of flexibility to take your dog on walks, play in the house with toys, and bond. My husband and I love hiking and being outdoors and often go on long walks with our own dog. The safety and care of your pet is my biggest concern as I all too well know the feeling of leaving your beloved pet with someone else. Your dog will always be on a leash in my care and I don’t take any risks when it comes to caring for your pet.
About: I have been working with pets my entire life through volunteering at shelters, pet sitting for family and friends, and owning pets of my own. I am flexible with schedules and rates and will prioritize your pets needs first! I can walk, feed, bathe, and play. I have experience with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. Let me know how I can best help you and your pet! I am currently in PA working at the hospital, so my schedule is flexible because my shifts are not always the same. I wake up early and go to bed late, so I can usually find a time that works well for both you and your pet. I can walk, feed, bathe, play with, and give medications as needed. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with special needs as well as medical conditions requiring special diets or scheduled medications. I treat all dogs & cats as if they are my own and I always send regular updates and photos to the pets family.
About: Hi! I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule to accommodate your busy life. I offer reliable and trustworthy pet care services, ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so you can count on plenty of patience and special attention for your fur babies. Whether through regular walks, playtime, or feeding routines, I provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I especially love going on walks and spending time outdoors. From pet owners, I prioritize clear communication in order to meet expectations, maintain consistency, and bring peace of mind. My routine is centered around my class schedule. I am free to prioritize sitting on the majority of weekends, so that’s my main source of availability. On weekdays, I’m generally open early mornings and evenings after 5:30. Quick visits throughout the day may be possible, depending on the location, so just reach out with the details and we can coordinate. As a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience, I ensure your four-legged friend remains happy and healthy. I pay close attention to body language to know when it’s playtime or if space is needed. I always respect boundaries, though I am also adept at implementing discipline at the owner’s discretion if necessary. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality as well as their favorite toys or games is the best part of the experience for me. Look forward to receiving photo and video updates of your babies while under my care. My method of sitting revolves around specific instructions from the owner regarding their pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements.
“Andreea was great with both of our dogs. She even got our younger pup to warm up to her quickly and explore outside of her comfort zone a bit. She has a calm yet friendly demeanor, which was perfect for our dogs.”
About: I’m a proud dog mom to Roxie, my sweet and playful hound mix who loves making new dog friends, and a toddler mom to a little animal lover. I have volunteered at Richmond SPCA, Richmond Animal Care and Control, and Houlagon’s Rest. I have many years of petsitting experience with both dogs and cats. I have always had a passion for animals, especially dogs! I hope to continue to work with animals in my future endeavors. Their time with me will be filled with belly rubs, lots of kisses, treats, and games! Hope to see you and your pet(s) soon! I work a full-time job Monday–Thursday, but am off and available Fridays and weekends. I look forward to spending that time giving your pets lots of attention and care. I want your pet’s experience to be as comfortable as possible. I know it can be a stressful and scary experience leaving them while you’re away, so I strive to make it any easy transition. If you want a meet and greet beforehand, I am always willing to do that!
About: I am a certified veterinary assistant.I graduated from a vet science class where we perform animal care on the pets we have: bunnies, cats, guinea pigs, grooming dogs, etc. I used to work at Dogtopia so I know how to handle dogs. I am currently enrolled in Tuskegee University to become an Exotic and Avian Veterinary. I am currently a freshman in college 10 hours away so I will only be available during my breaks: (maybe Thanksgiving), Christmas, and most of summer. I have 2 ESA cats . One is a black domestic shorthair named Shadow The Hedgehog . The other is a tabby named Silver The Hedgehog
About: Hi, I'm Kim! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I'm a mom of 4 fur babies of my own and have had animals all my life. I am currently transitioning from a 13 year Nanny position into my dream job of caring for animals full time. Three years ago, I started pet sitting part-time and have gotten rave reviews and I absolutely love it!! (References available on request) My schedule is very flexible for drop-ins and overnight stays on a first come, first serve basis. I will come to your pet's home where they are most comfortable. Offering pet care services in your home, I follow the typical routine you and your pets have already established. They will keep their routine and not go through any traumatic transitions. The best part? Your fur baby is there when you get home. Your home will also have that "lived in" look. Mail will be picked up, plants watered, lights will be switched on and off, trash rolled to the curb, and any house issues that arise can be addressed. Especially for overnight or vacation services, I would love the chance to meet you and your pet(s) in your home ahead of time. I always encourage new clients to schedule a (free) 30-minute meet-and-greet before the first booking (either at your home or a public location) so that I can meet your pet(s). If I am doing a sitting or drop-in, then these are perfect for showing me where the food supplies are as well as bowls, litter box(es), and anything else that may be needed for the booking I send daily updates while you are away so your vacation is worry free. I am looking to establish a regular client base and consider pets as part of the family.
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or sticking to a detailed care schedule, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m currently working fully remote, and I choose my own hours, so I’m available anytime of day. I’m willing to work with you and your pet’s needs to ensure your furry friend remains on their consistent routines. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and stick to their normal routine. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise and playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also administer medications if needed, reinforce any routines you’ve established, and keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet. After every visit, I’ll send you updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.

My schedule allows me to prioritize their routines, whether it’s daily visits or last minute bookings. I prefer to adapt approach to pets according to their needs, whether it’s calm and non confronting to shy cats or running with younger dogs. I also like to continue their routines that they are comfortable with. For owners, I keep regular updates as wanted to keep peace of mind.

“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!”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our big, fluffy, Luna, who can certainly be exuberant at times! She kept me updated several times a day with great pictures. I would 100 percent use her again!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic. She was so attentive to our dogs. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. She sent us pictures to update us. We are so happy with her.”
“This was Luna’s second stay with Laura and DJ. When Luna started wagging her tail the second she heard their voices. She is so happy there- it is truly her home away from home. Laura is wonderful with sending us pictures and videos. We are so grateful to have found such a loving family for our pup to go to when we are away.”
“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!”
About: I have had at least one dog all of my life. Often times more than one. Currently living with just one Lab who would love a visitor/playmate. I foster emergency overnights on rescue transports. I have been a caregiver for dogs of all ages and kinds; puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I have grandcats I house sit for and have also taken care of chickens. I work from home with tons of flexibility. I have one adult child at home in graduate school, they have a health condition which keeps them home most days too, so your pet is never short of human companionship. I live in a great neighborhood for walks on a leash. I provide dog sitting in a one story home with a large, wooded fenced yard in central Richmond neighborhood. Great for dogs of all ages and abilities. I live with one Lab that's a large couch potato. He also likes his human to sit outside with him rather than be out there all by himself. So we spend lots of time outside together. Pets are permitted on furniture and the bed, whatever makes them feel at home. I do have a large dog crate that can be set up if needed, but only if requested as it will put your pet at ease. The most important factor is making sure your pet feels comfortable, keeping their routines and habits to lessen the stress of a new place.
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“Nathan did a phenomenal job with our dog Moose. He was attentive, patient, and met us for a meet and greet which helped out a ton. He was very easy to work with, flexible, and thorough. We would definitely book a stay with Nathan again.”
“Cassandre is the best. She and her family provide such a fun and safe environment for our dog when we are away. Cassandre is a genuine dog lover, and we have so much peace of mind knowing that our dog is in the care of someone who loves him as much as we do.”
“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.”
“Doris was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my fur baby, and it was clear he adored her. She is kind, attentive, thorough, and very professional. She kept me updated throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Our dog Georgie, an 8 month hound mix, had a great stay with Andreea while we travelled out of state. Andreea was very reassuring that Georgie would have plenty of attention, walks and exercise. We were kept updated by photos and texts as to how Georgie was spending her day. I would highly recommend Andreea!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for 10 years, and frequently pet sit for friends and family in my home. I would love to provide your dog with a safe, snuggly space while their people are away. As a dog and cat owner, most of my days revolve around pet care already! While I work in an office during the week, I’m a quick drive from home and have flexibility to run home for potty breaks and WFH as needed. I love nothing more than a cuddly weekend on the couch with my dog Tater and he always loves a friend. I have a fenced in yard, a very dog friendly dog, as well as two dog-savvy cats. I have a crate that can be assembled if needed for your pet. I couldn’t get my Velcro dog off the couch or bed if I tried, so my home is a great space for dogs who like to be extra close to their people.
“I cannot thank Jocelyn enough for the incredible care she gave Cyrus this weekend. After a previous bad experience with a different sitter, I was quite nervous about leaving her, especially given her anxiety and the fact that she typically doesn't enjoy being around other dogs. Jocelyn was a total pro. She was patient and intuitive, making Cyrus feel completely safe and comfortable from the moment he arrived. I was blown away when she sent me updates showing that Cyrus had actually befriended her dog, Honey—a huge milestone for her The constant stream of photos and updates kept my mind at ease the entire time. It is such a gift to find someone who truly understands dog behavior and treats your pet like family. We will definitely be back!”
“Terry was great! Terry is very caring, responsive, and sent pictures to show us how much fun Simon was having. Can't wait to have her care for our Schnoodle baby again. :)”
