“Damacia was fantastic! Our Goldendoodle puppy loved playing with her dogs and was very well-cared for. She came home clean, happy and tired! We’d definitely recommend and will use Damacia in the future. We are so grateful to have found her!”
“I could not possibly speak more highly of Dawn. She was in constant communication providing updates and photos of our dog and you can tell she genuinely loves taking care of pets. She was incredibly understanding and went above and beyond when our family was unexpectedly stranded on our way back from our vacation.”
“Rachel was so kind and considerate with my dogs. She made sure both of my girls were comfortable, and settled in her space. She gave them everything they needed, and I got plenty of updates which I love. She was also flexible with me as my plans changed on my vacation. She's amazing!”
“This is our second time leaving our two babies with Sheri, and she is amazing! Very communicative and she and her kids were so great with our dogs. Trust her and her kids with our babies and will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“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.”
“Michelle always does a great job sitting my dog. I had a last minute trip planned and she was able to accommodate. I even had a delayed trip back home and she was very flexible which I appreciated.”
“Wonderful experience. Emily and Abi took such good care of our CheChe! Communication was excellent and they made sure she had everything she needed to be healthy, happy and comfortable during her week-long stay.”
“Star appeared to have a great time with Laura and family and be well taken care of. She had a nice large yard to run in and both caregivers were clear dog lovers and she immediately took to them. I would definitely use them again!”
“Laura and her family do an excellent job with Nacho. I am comfortable leaving him in their care as I know they will treat him no different than as a member of their family. I'm sure he misses us, but he also looks forward to boarding at their house so I am not worried at all that he will be homesick.”
“Elizabeth agreed to watch my dog last minute and was very accommodating and kind! She sent me a lot of pictures and updates and made it feel like I wasn’t even away from my pup! I definitely look forward to booking with her 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.”
“Matt’s place is my girls favorite place! They get the backyard, the cozy home, and all the friends they could hope for!! They don’t want to come home! Thanks for taking such great care of my crazy girls!”
“Our little guy had a hard time being in a strange place with a strange person so we had to cut his visit short, but Cyndi is willing to work with us to see if we can slowly get him used to it. Much appreciated.”
“So many words come to mind, but I would gladly recommend Cassandre to anyone looking for loving care for their fur-baby! Cassandre kept me up-to-date with text, photos and videos of Simba and he was clearly having the time of his life while I was away. I will definitely use this service again and hope others find this review helpful.”
“I needed a sitter for my puppy as I was going out of town for the weekend. I was so thankful that Cindy was able to take care of my baby while I was away. Cindy updated me and sent pictures to ensure me that August was ok.:) This was very first time using Rover and it was a great experience.”
“My pup had a great time with Jesse and his dogs! He got lots of exercise and was a happy boy when we picked him up. Jesse has very prompt and helpful communication. Will book again!”
“Excellen all around! Great communication before and during our trip, with lots of consideration for the dogs’ routines and comfort. Loved all the photos that showed us the dogs were having a great time at “camp” — knowing they were in good hands let us enjoy our trip all the more. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Amanda was the greatest puppy sitter while we were out of town for a week. We looked forward to her texts with photos and videos every day. My 2 had a great time with her 2 ❤️ We will definitely have Amanda watch our babies again. Thank you!!”
“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”

“Allison did a great job housesitting with my cat Annie! She gave her lots of attention and sent me daily updates and pictures/videos. I would recommend Allison and book with her again.”
“Jocelyn was an incredible cat sitter for our two young cats. She was great to communicate with and she sent us many pictures/videos while we were away. She made sure our cats were receiving attention, playtime and kindness. She really went above and beyond what we initially expected from a cat sitter.”
“Mark was an outstanding cat sitter, and I truly can’t recommend him highly enough. He was an excellent communicator throughout, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. What impressed me most was his ability to connect with our very timid kitty—something that doesn’t come easily. It was clear he was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared. I would call on Mark again in a heartbeat and happily offer my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter.”
“Meghan did a great job with our little one☺️ We requested her last minute but she offered a home visit to meet right away, helped answer my questions around per sitting (my first time) and did a good job informing me of how the app works with payment, report cards and trying to meet/per Riley that first day. We appreciated the pics and had no concerns on our return home. Thank you Meghan!”
“Audrina took great care of our needy cat giving her several medications, and did great on her first time taking blood sugar and giving insulin! She brought in our packages and let us know if there were problems with the house while we were gone.”
“Dawn always does an amazing job with taking care of our kitty, Bao. We cannot recommend her enough and will continue to use Dawn's service for as long as possible.”
“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”
“Andrea was fantastic and took such good care of my cats!! Made sure to always take the time to snuggle and play with them too. Always very prompt for each visit and very communicative!!! 10/10 recommend her services!”
About: I've been volunteering at the Richmond Animal League for over a year and have previous experience working at shelters and dog daycares. I've always loved caring for animals; I used to volunteer at the SPCA when I was younger and I have two dogs of my own that I enjoy taking on walks and playing fetch with in the backyard. I have a part-time job that I work 3-4 days a week (mostly evenings). Other than that, schedule is pretty flexible! I'm available throughout the week, as well as weekends. I'm more interested in drop-in visits and dog walking, but I'll be able to petsit for as long as you need with enough notice! For pet-sitting, I'll be able to stay and take care of your pets for as long as you need me to be there. I can stay all day and even overnight if needed, or just check in periodically throughout the day! I'll carefully follow instructions given on feeding, walks/exercise, morning and bedtime routines, medications, and just overall entertainment. I'm great with dogs of all kinds of energy, whether they want to be active all day long, or just snuggled up on the couch!
“Damacia did a phenomenal job caring for our cat while we were away. The brief daily posts helped reassure us, and we were really able to enjoy our trip! Our kitty clearly loves Damacia, who seems to have quite a gift with animals. Fantastic!”
About: I am a full service pet provider. I am very flexible through out the day! I can walk, do check ins, feeding, meds you name it. My schedule is extremely flexible during the week. I am available throughout the day for whatever your pet needs are. I am happy to help! I offer a full range of pet care in home or day/overnight boarding. I take the utmost care to ensure your pets safety or dietary needs.
“Cynthia is an excellent cat sitter! She has tons of experience with cats, had no problem cleaning up after my cat when she had an accident, and shared helpful advice for cat care. I’ve already booked her twice and intend to have her as my go to for future travel!”
“My cats were taken care of and I didn’t even have to think about it while I was away, couldn’t really ask for more, but Eryn is also just a really pleasant person.”
“Kayla went above and beyond while watching our pets over Christmas while we were away! She spent time playing with them and cleaned up throw up from one of our kitties so we did not have to worry about it. She followed our many house instructions to a tee. We will definitely use Kayla again and recommend you do the same. 😊”
“Aly is the nicest, kindest pet sitter I have used to watch my fur baby! She boarded my kitty Mochi while I was out of the country for 1 month. Before I booked the sitting she set up a meet and greet so that Mochi would feel more comfortable once she was dropped off for the long stay. Due to an injury during my trip I had to extend the boarding for an additional 9 days on very short notice. Aly was super accommodating and was more than happy to extend the stay and even went to thw store to get Mochi more food! During the boarding she sent regular updates and pictures so I knew Mochi was happy and well taken care of! I would absolutely recommend Aly to any and everyone I know that is looking for a pet sitter. Mochi was so happy and misses Aly already 🥰”

“Dawn was a true lifesaver when we were in town for my daughter's graduation, and needed help watching our pup who has separation anxiety. She remained flexible throughout our weekend of constantly changing plans. She had great communication and feedback and I always knew that our pup was doing well at her house in her care. Thank you for taking such great care of Enzo, and helping to make graduation weekend a success, Dawn!”
“Rachel was able to accommodate my last-minute request and took great care of Toby! She gave him the attention, exercise, and care he needed, and I really appreciated her flexibility. I would definitely recommend Rachel!”
“We ❤️ Sheri!! She has watched my pup on my long class days for two semesters now and he now knows when we are almost at her house and gets so excited! It’s so nice knowing he is somewhere that he loves and gets lots of walks and snuggles when I can’t be there!”
“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.”
“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: With three years of experience in animal welfare, I’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of dogs and kitties and getting to know the wonderful families who love them. My passion for animal care has only grown, and I’m always looking for new ways to continue doing what I love most: helping pets feel happy, safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra attention while you’re away, or simply a little companionship during the day, I’m here to provide the personalized care, patience, and love they deserve. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family member gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, cuddles, and tail-wagging adventures! 🐕✨ Because happy pets = happy families! 🐾 I’m daily caring for my five at home cats as well as my two resident dogs. My availability is currently very open so I'm looking for ways to continue helping families and their pets! Whatever that may be. I love shedules and appreciate them myself when I am leaving my pets with sitters. Your needs are my top priorities. I have a lot of experience with medication administration, behavioral concerns, and training needs. I want to make sure the pets and people are totally comfortable.
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: 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.
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.
“We are very appreciative of Amanda and her husband for taking great care of our boys! Amanda is very communicative, caring and flexible which has been critical for our dog care needs. Can’t wait for our pups’ next stay!”
“Ms. Paula felt just like home. Like I was leaving my baby with my parents. I was so comfortable and at ease during our visit. My child did not miss me at all and I knew she was in good hands. Haribo is an excellent helper lol. He is equally as sweet as Ms. Paula. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Great with my little one she is old and spoiled Chihuahua and she just keeps getting spoiled. Loves the yard to run in and play with the bigger dogs sometimes. But the best part is she is worn out by the time we get home. And they are so flexible with my crazy schedule.”

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.
“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!”
“Cozmel took great care of our Ziggy! Ziggy made a new friend with Shep, and they enjoyed playing together in the large fenced-in back yard. Cozmel communicated well before, during, and after, making us at ease knowing our dog was getting the care we wanted. Will definitely request another doggy day care visit in the future!”

About: I have two amazing dogs, Milo and Winter, that play constantly! They are best of friends and always welcome new friends. Milo is an 8 month old puppy still learning house training and making amazing progress. I found him at a rescue in Philly when I was visiting March 2026- love at first site! He clicked so well with my German Shepherd mix Winter, that I rescued in June 2025. Prior to falling in love with these two rescues, I helped foster several dogs through a local rescue- while healing from the loss of my dog of 13 years, Bella. She was a one dog household kind of girl, but Winter was just the opposite. I could tell she needed a friend, and Milo came into our lives at just the right time. I so look forward to helping care for your fur babies and will give them all the walks, plays, and cuddles they might need. I’ll ensure all your care is personalized to your dog’s specific needs. Also, would love to send you pic updates while you’re at work or adventuring! If your dog is in my care for doggy daycare, I will be home with them, unless otherwise discussed with you. If I’m hired to come walk your dog, I’ll give you a detailed update of our walk! I am home and available 7 days a week, unless I’m traveling. My dogs get lots of attention and walks. We love the James River Park system 🫶 I will ask for lots of detail about your pets specific needs so I can curate their care so they feel right at home! A home away from home.
About: With 17 years of experience in veterinary medicine and professional pet care, I bring a unique combination of medical knowledge, animal-handling experience, and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. My experience caring for animals has taken me across the country and overseas, giving me the opportunity to work with many animals, pets, and families. I spent 10 years working in emergency veterinary medicine, so I am comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's condition, obtaining vital signs, and knowing when symptoms require veterinary attention and how soon. I am also experienced and comfortable administering medications of all types, insulin injections, and fluids under the skin, as well as caring for pets with medical or special needs. While I am not a professional pet trainer, I am comfortable working with a wide variety of behaviors and behavioral-training approaches and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and meeting each animal where they are. I know that when pet parents are away, their pets often need a little extra TLC, reassurance, and one-on-one attention. I make every effort to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible—from meals and medications to walks, playtime, rest, and plenty of companionship. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Most importantly, I believe in open and honest communication. I strive to address questions and concerns before booking whenever possible, so you can feel confident, comfortable, and at ease knowing your pet is in capable hands. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little extra attention, routine medication, or simply someone to make them feel less lonely while you're away, I would love the opportunity to care for them. ❤️ I am able to accommodate Thursday afternoons - Monday morning bookings. I work full-time as an administrator at a local veterinary hospital and am fortunate to make my own schedule. Prior to booking, I ensure the pet parent and I are aligned with the sitting/walking schedule. Before walking your pet, I will inspect leashes, collars, and harnesses fit appropriately and are safe. I will also be sure to know your pet’s friendliness, anxieties, and reactivities to strangers and other animals. At your home, I will follow your pet’s routines to the best of my ability and your instructions completely. In the case of emergency, I can perform CPR and first aid.

About: I’ve been a pet parent for years, so I totally get it—leaving your fur baby behind is tough! I’ve spent plenty of time caring for the pets of family and friends, so I’m a pro at helping a nervous pup or kitty feel right at home. I’m a big fan of getting outside, so if your dog has energy to burn, we’ll hit the local trails to make sure they’re tuckered out and ready for a long nap. I also have hands-on experience with diabetic pups and am fully comfortable administering insulin injections, so your senior or special, needs friends, are in safe hands with me! Currently working part time, so I have a flexible schedule during weekdays and weekends. I am looking to ger outside more so I look forward to the pup walks. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of grass and shade trees, perfect for afternoon sniffing and exploring!

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.

I will always take their lead for what they need whether it be space to process a new person, or lots of cuddles and play.

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.
“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.”
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 lived in a golden retriever family my entire life, and dog-obsessed honestly does not do me justice! I know the Richmond area well and love taking dogs to new locations, like dog parks or the river. Since I am an athletic individual I can offer rigorous exercise for even large active dog breeds. I am very trustworthy and responsible, I schedule my time wisely and am always on time for scheduled appointments. I do work full-time, but am often available on evenings and weekends. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your dog! I work full time, so I am usually busy during the day. However, I am often free on evenings and weekends and love walks and drop in visits. I do not bring dogs to my own home, because I have older goldens at home. But I love to come spend time where your dog is comfy!
“Red was a happy boy when we got home! It was a big relief to be able to leave for a long day and know he’d be able to get out for a walk and go to the bathroom while we were gone.”

“I could not possibly speak more highly of Dawn. She was in constant communication providing updates and photos of our dog and you can tell she genuinely loves taking care of pets. She was incredibly understanding and went above and beyond when our family was unexpectedly stranded on our way back from our vacation.”
“Rachel was so kind and considerate with my dogs. She made sure both of my girls were comfortable, and settled in her space. She gave them everything they needed, and I got plenty of updates which I love. She was also flexible with me as my plans changed on my vacation. She's amazing!”
“This is our second time leaving our two babies with Sheri, and she is amazing! Very communicative and she and her kids were so great with our dogs. Trust her and her kids with our babies and will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“Star appeared to have a great time with Laura and family and be well taken care of. She had a nice large yard to run in and both caregivers were clear dog lovers and she immediately took to them. I would definitely use them again!”
“Laura and her family do an excellent job with Nacho. I am comfortable leaving him in their care as I know they will treat him no different than as a member of their family. I'm sure he misses us, but he also looks forward to boarding at their house so I am not worried at all that he will be homesick.”
“Elizabeth agreed to watch my dog last minute and was very accommodating and kind! She sent me a lot of pictures and updates and made it feel like I wasn’t even away from my pup! I definitely look forward to booking with her 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.”
“Matt’s place is my girls favorite place! They get the backyard, the cozy home, and all the friends they could hope for!! They don’t want to come home! Thanks for taking such great care of my crazy girls!”
“Our little guy had a hard time being in a strange place with a strange person so we had to cut his visit short, but Cyndi is willing to work with us to see if we can slowly get him used to it. Much appreciated.”
“So many words come to mind, but I would gladly recommend Cassandre to anyone looking for loving care for their fur-baby! Cassandre kept me up-to-date with text, photos and videos of Simba and he was clearly having the time of his life while I was away. I will definitely use this service again and hope others find this review helpful.”
“My pup had a great time with Jesse and his dogs! He got lots of exercise and was a happy boy when we picked him up. Jesse has very prompt and helpful communication. Will book again!”
“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”
“Nathaniel was a phenomenal caregiver for my big boy, Brock! 🐾❤️ I had to book care for Brock very last minute, and Nathaniel was incredibly compassionate and accommodating to both Brock’s and my needs with such little notice. Brock had a wonderful time and was so graciously cared for. Nathaniel went above and beyond by sending me pictures and videos throughout Brock’s stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my boy was doing great. I’d also like to highlight Nathaniel’s flexibility and his personal schedule, which worked out perfectly for caring for Brock. 10 out of 10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much, Nathaniel, for taking such great care of my boy! 🐶❤️”
“Hilary was an amazing sitter for my girl, she took her for runs, played extensively and even made time to always keep me informed. I would trust her again and again and really appreciate the peace of mind she offered while I was away. ❤️”
“First time having my dog watched by Zach he did everything I asked of him and more and on top of that was extremely friendly and kind! My dog had an accident or two didn't, cause a issue about it while I was for business I would definitely recommend leaving your dog with him”
“We love Elizabeth, who takes such good care of our dog. Lots of photos and updates from Elizabeth while we are away, and we can see that our pup is having lots of fun and is very happy.”
“I had a great experience with Caitlin and her family as they hosted my dogs for a few days this summer. They have a big shaded fenced-in backyard where the dogs can run and play, and their house and neighborhood seems super secure. I got lots of little updates, photos and videos along the way. And then, to my great surprise they sent us home with a storybook telling all about the boys' experience during their "camp." It was so sweet to read, it nearly made me cry! I will book again anytime; thank you Caitlin and fam!”
“Jennifer welcomed Vera into her home like she had always been there! Vera loved being there and was showered with love and attention! Jennifer will be our “go to” Rover sitter! Thank you!!!!”
“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!”
