“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kendra did an amazing job watching my fur baby Rylo! She kept me updated throughout his stay with plenty of pictures and messages, which truly put my mind at ease while I was away and showed how much fun he was having. It was clear he was well cared for and loved. To top it all off, she even sent him home with a sweet gift 🥹💖. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter! I will definitely be booking again for future stays.”
“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 picked up my pup about an hour ago, and he is already passed out from his fun weekend with Amy! Amy is great, she sent me pictures of my dog throughout the weekend and took great care of him! I will definitely be booking with her again :) I love that she hosts other dogs at the same time, because my dog gets so much play time”
“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!”
“It's a wonderful thing when you can go on a trip, when having to leave your companion in the care of someone else, and have no worries as to how she's being cared for. Thank you guys : )”
“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.”
“Jackie gives me 5 star feelings! I’ll be a repeat client. Her communication was on point, and it was evident through videos and pics that my dog was comfortable and happy while in her care.”
“I’m definitely a bit of a helicopter dog mom and trust very few people to watch my fur babies while I’m out of town. Peyton & Daved have cared for my high-energy Australian Shepherd puppy, Luna, on three separate occasions now, and every single time she is beyond excited when we pull up—and completely tuckered out after spending her stay playing with all of her friends. They are incredibly patient with me constantly asking for “pupdates” and always send plenty of photos and updates of Luna exploring, playing, and having fun. It makes such a difference and really helps ease the guilt of being away from her. I’m so grateful we found Peyton & Daved. In fact, whenever I’m getting ready to travel now, I’m actually excited knowing Luna gets to spend time with her friends and people who genuinely care about her. There’s no better feeling than knowing your pup loves her home away from home just as much as you do. Thank you, Peyton & Daved, for taking such wonderful care of Luna. We couldn’t recommend you more highly!”
“Raye is a wonderful person and was soooo caring and sweet with my shy girl. She gave her loads of snuggles and attention and sent multiple updates each day via photo and videos. So grateful to her!!!”
“I was having a rough time finding a sitter in time for my trip and she was perfect for my dog. She sent lots of pictures and my dog got to spend time with other dogs all day and play. She seemed very happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her :)”
“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!”
“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! 🐶❤️”
“Nicole was super easy to communicate with, and made sure to get as much information as possible to ensure an easy stay. She obviously cares very deeply about the pets entrusted to her care, and I wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“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.”
“Tucker had a great time at Amy’s!! We received photos all weekend long with updates of our pup, he was exhausted by the time we brought him home. Fun weekend with Amy and we will definitely send him back!”
“Kourtney was awesome with our baby girl Daisy Mae! We were pretty nervous because Daisy is just under 2 years old and had never been boarded or babysat. Kourtney was great, providing updates every day and we can tell Daisy was well taken care of. Thanks Kourtney!”
“I sent a request late at night the day before I needed care for my dog. Dylan responded promptly and agreed to my booking. It was my 2nd booking with them and will continue to book with them in the future.”

“Abby was very professional throughout the booking process and during our vacation. Our two kitties took to her right when she walked in the door. She was also clear and communicative while we were away.”
“Amazing as always! She’s super communicative, flexible and so sweet with my super shy cat. He actually came out this time for her which is amazing and just shows as sweet, patient and trusting she is, as my cat is the biggest baby. Will always rebook with her if she’s available!”

Will definitely use her services the next time I go out of town!”
“Such a relief to have someone who clearly cares for your pets while you’re away! Jillian took amazing care of my pets and made me feel like I was there at home with all the wonderful pictures. Would recommend them to anyone!”
“Erica was absolutely amazing! I have two cats that don’t get along, so she went above and beyond by boarding Ollie while also doing house visits for Nyla. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were both getting the care they needed in the best setup for them. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made it so much easier to be away. I always felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my cats in her care. You can tell she genuinely cares, and I would trust her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Jeffrey is fantastic! He communicated so well, made sure to send lots of check in photos, and showed up right on time within the requested timeframes. I would 100% recommend booking Jeffrey for your pet sitting/caretaking needs!”
“Catherine made me very comfortable to leave my cat for several weeks under her care! Catherine checked all the boxes when dropping in checking on my Salem.

Kade is fantastic!!!”

“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”
“Amy and Kris couldn't have been nicer people. I used their services to watch my beagle for the day while I visited Richmond. Their home was easy on and off the highway making this place ideal for visits. Bitsy spent the day with a few other nice dogs, received some delicious homemade doggy treats and got lots of love and snuggles. Thanks, we will be back again. :)”
“Ayme took Hugo for a doggie day care break today! We asked her at short notice, and she obliged. Hugo loves playing with Ayme’s fur-babies, and judging by the photos and video, he had a blast 😊 Thank you so much for the love and attention you and your kind husband give to our dog, I’m so glad we found you! 💕”
“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!”
“Amanda is hands down a five-star sitter! She watched my dog all day and did an incredible job managing her high energy; she really went above and beyond to get all those "zoomies" out, and I picked up a very happy, tired pup. Her communication was also top-notch throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly knows how to engage with dogs, I highly recommend booking with Amanda!”
“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.”
“Susan is amazing and made our anxiety-inducing first drop off at doggie day care way easier! Easy communication and planning and she and her dog made mine feel right at home. Loved how many updates and pictures she sent us too! Our dog seemed happy and tired afterwards.”
“Abby, had great communication with me while our pup was there. She sent me pics which helped put our minds at ease. What sold me on her was that within 5 minutes of me reaching out with our dogs info and request for care she responded back with her address ready to take him immediately. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be using her services!”
“Kendra was awesome. I could tell Teddy had a great time because she made sure to send pictures and through updates throughout the day. We greatly appreciated it! We would highly recommend her and will be booking again in the future.”
“Michelle took good care of my pup. Her dog Milo is a sweetie. She has a nice yard for them to play in and my dog also enjoyed relaxing by her side on the couch.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Emily did a wonderful job with my dog Majik. She took such thoughtful care of Majik, kept me updated, and made the whole experience easy and stress‑free. I really appreciate her care and attention. I would definitely book with her again.”

She worked with my schedule and was a huge help in a pinch. I checked in with her a couple times during my pup's stay and she replied with updates and pictures. Thanks, Michaela!”

“Rachel has been absolutely wonderful with my two dogs, Oliver and Mabel. Oliver is my 11-year-old senior, and Mabel is a brand- new puppy, so their needs are very different- and Rachel handles both of them with so much care. She is incredibly communicative, always gives great updates and photos. She’s been walking them weekly for a while now, and both dogs get so excited for her visits. Knowing they’re in such good hands while I am working gives me so much peace of mind. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!”

About: Hello there! I'm Jessica. I have a long, lifelong passion and love for taking care of dogs and cats. I pride myself on being able to work with all breeds, ages, and backgrounds of dogs, from disabled dogs or rescue dogs. Every dog has its own personality and quirks. I take time to understand their boundaries and needs, and tailor their walks and playtime to them. I understand that every dog is unique, so is their schedule, such as requirements, favorite activities and preferences. I'm happy to adjust accordingly. I will give frequent updates on our walk or drop in from how they are feeling and new pictures to share our time together. After our walk I will ensure they have fresh clean water and feel safe and comfortable. I have spent many years caring for different dogs with different temperaments. I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle various situations. I can understand a dog's body language to detect anxiety, stress, and even aggression. I carry a spare leash and use appropriate sturdy leash, collar and harness. I will keep updates with you and keep emergency contacts such as the dog's Vet if provided and I will always immediately contact you if an emergency arises.
“Alyssa is a pleasure to work with. She’s friendly and flexible. When I get home at the end of the day Mabel is always in a good place when she’s had a walk with Alyssa.”
“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.”
“Natalie was great! Made leaving my giant breed puppy super easy when I had a last minute family emergency. Punctual, good communication, asked good questions :)”

Highly recommended for your pups!”
