“Matt was great with our dog daisy! He sent frequent updates with lots of pictures - we could tell she was having so much fun! Will definitely book with him again.”
“Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!”

“Raye was phenomenal. She sent so many cute videos and photos of our pup. It was like we dropped him off at a really fun summer camp. Never doubted that he was safe, cared for, and having fun while we were away.”
“Cindy, simply put, is amazing. She was attentive, kind, communicative, and full of love. My dog is normally rather anxious, and Cindy understood that and made sure my dog and I were both at ease.

I don’t have enough good things to say about, Cindy.”
“Aaren and Jordan were such fabulous sitters for my itty bitty 80lbs pittie! They sent several pics and vids throughout his 2day stay which definitely put me as ease. Highly recommend!”
“Le’Quitta was absolutely wonderful with Honey! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful and communicative. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she even brought one of her dogs to make sure Honey would be comfortable since she can be a little reactive around other dogs. Just before our trip, Honey unexpectedly needed stitches and had to wear a cone while taking medication every 12 hours. Le’Quitta didn’t hesitate—she happily took on the extra care, administered Honey’s medications, and gave us complete peace of mind so we could still enjoy our weekend away. Throughout Honey’s stay, Le’Quitta sent frequent updates and photos, and it was obvious Honey was having the best time playing with the other dogs. She even had her first positive introduction to a cat! Every picture showed a happy, smiling dog who was clearly loved and well cared for. I’m so grateful for Le’Quitta flexibility, communication, and genuine care for Honey. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”

“Jeff was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it definitely was clear that zeph had a great time! Jeff was very communicative and spent plenty of time to get to know both me and Zeph on a meet and greet prior to our stay.

Thank you so much for being so great with Zephyr!!!”
“Carolina was very professional and helpful with my new puppy. She also sent pictures and updates on my puppy, which I appreciated very much considering this was my first time leaving my pup with a stranger. I would definitely use Carolina again and highly recommend her.”
“Donetta was great with Graham! I was a little worried leaving him because I wasn’t sure how he would adjust being gone overnight without seeing me. However, she sent pictures and she gave updates on how he was doing. I was very pleased with her services. I highly recommend Donetta, you won’t be disappointed she’s great with dogs.”
“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.”

She kept me updated every day and sent lots of photos. The adorable pics made me miss my girls but I knew they were in good hands.”
“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!”
“Holland was great! My cat seemed happy us usual when I got back from my trip, and Holland was great about sending me pictures and videos.

She did some drop-in visits with him, checked his water and scooped his litter box. Everything went well and she even brought in a package that we forgot was being delivered. We recommend her to other cat owners!”
“Jonathan took excellent care of my cat, Milo. Jonathan was extremely communicative and I loved all the photos and updates while I was away. I would highly recommend Jonathan, he was was extremely personable, considerate and flexible! My cat was very well taken care of with cuddles, treats and play time. I hope to have Jonathan watching Milo again in the future!”

“My dogs really enjoyed their stay with Nadia...they came home and passed out from exhaustion so I know they had fun! Nadia has a nice fenced in yard for the dogs to play, and screens other dogs well to ensure that there is no doggy drama. I will definitely be using her as a sitter again soon!”
“Matt is fantastic. My dog Ru loves going to his house so much that she sprints to his front door and will not look back for me at all. She has a great time with him and when I pick her up she is happy and tired in the best way. He clearly has a great understanding of dogs and is very professional and communicative. I feel completely confident leaving my girl there and I know she has the absolute best care.”
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog. I treat each pup like they’re my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and loving, creating a comfortable and present environment where dogs feel happy and cared for while their owners are away! I’m available throughout the entire month of July and will be home consistently, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m able to be present during my stays and keep up with your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, meals, medication reminders, or just extra companionship! My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, I provide a calm and supervised environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure their pets receive the same attention, patience, and affection I would give my own.
“Katharine was so responsive and kind as I navigate a last minute work trip. Her house was obviously a pups heaven and I was so grateful that my dogs, Swoosh and Frankie, were able to stay with Katharine and Louie (x2) for a few hours. If we’re ever back in Richmond, Katharine will always be our first call!”
“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”
“Julie was the absolute best! She was able to accommodate our travel schedule with no problem and gave Ziggy a very fun afternoon. We definitely recommend her for any pet stays!”
About: I have had animals my entire life. I love taking care of them and filling their lives with lots of pets and love. I currently have 3 dogs, ranging in ages 1-12. I have experience with reactive dogs, puppies, cats, and senior dogs. Excited to take care of your fur baby I’m currently a student at Virginia Commonwealth University. I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. It is very important to me that all animals are safe and well cared for. I will follow all your instructions including walking and feeding schedule, as well as giving medication timely “ if applicable”.
About: With 20 years hands-on experience caring for animals, I am your go-to pet sitter and walker that resides in the charming downtown Richmond neighborhood of Church Hill. My passion for animals shines through in every interaction, whether is a playful game of catch or a relaxing cuddle session. Living in Church Hill, I’m intimately familiar with all the local parks, trails and pet-friendly spots in Richmond and the surrounding areas. I’m available to come to you or can host your furry friend. My top-notch’ care includes regular updates including pictures to give you peace of mind and ensuring that your beloved family members are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. When I’m not busy caring for your pets, you can find me playing a game of keep away or snuggled up with my own Cocker Spaniel named Hagrid. We like to explore and travel when we aren’t hosting new friends. Mostly recently, we enjoyed visiting our furry friend Ajax with his family of cats and humans in Vermont. If you’re looking a reliable, compassionate and experienced sitter/walker, please reach out! I’m a business consultant who works from home. I make my own schedule and have flexible hours throughout the week/weekends that makes hosting/sitting or walking easy. I have a fenced in backyard and one friendly cocker spaniel who can keep your baby busy. I can easily crate if that is what you desire, but they can play together through out the day and have multiple outside breaks/walks
About: Caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have owned cats and dogs, walked dogs during college, volunteered at a shelter, and have experience across different life stages and breeds. I can read body language to know when a pet wants company and when they need space. When caring for pets I prioritize following the pet's specific routine and needs. This includes adhering to feeding schedules, ensuring fresh water is always available, and adjusting meals for any dietary restrictions. I provide regular exercise and playtime while keeping the environment safe and pet-proofed. I monitor for signs of illness, can administer medications if necessary, and maintain cleanliness, like cleaning litter boxes and brushing fur. I offer comfort and affection for each pet, creating a calm space for relaxation, especially for pets with separation anxiety, to ensure their well-being. I work from home so your pet will have companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I can easily integrate feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions into my schedule. Whether it's letting pets out for bathroom breaks, refreshing water bowls, or simply being there to offer comfort and companionship, I can provide pets with consistent care and attention all day long. My flexible routine also means I can adapt to each pet's specific needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the household. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comforting environment. I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed, keep routines consistent, and supervise pets closely to prevent accidents or stress. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm space. While in a client's home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions closely, and keep their home secure. I build trust through consistent communication, photo updates, and gentle, attentive care.

“Deiandre was great. He was very communicative and gave detailed reports after every walk. It was such a relief knowing my sweet girl was in good hands while I was on a work trip.”
“Conrad stepped in at our late notice and took fantastic care of our two dogs! They were staying with a sitter who could not walk them, and Conrad came to the rescue with walking them for a full hour every day, reliably and on-time! He communicates really well, is really responsible, and clearly has experience with dogs. One of my dogs is also dog-reactive, and Conrad knew just how to manage any reactive signs on walks and keeps distance from other animals. He listens well to instructions and is just a great dude. I’m happily looking to making him our regular go-to pet sitter and walker whenever we need support!”
“Nicole does such a great job with my baby. On days when it’s too hot she still makes sure he goes out and gets playtime and love. I absolutely love that she takes multiple pics to show what they’ve been up to. Pork Chop enjoys her visits so much”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and had to take care of them a lot as well as having experience as a kennel tech over some summers! I’m currently off over the summer while school is out so my availability is very open. I can take care of your pets when ever you need me. I have an apartment that I am more than happy having pets stay in however there is no yard. I am happy to stay with them and house sit.
“Lila was great! I appreciated her flexibility with our schedule. Our tour of campus ended late and she was very gracious about being with Lilly until we got back. Our dog enjoyed her time with her and she took great care of her. Thank you Lila!”
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.
“Kacey was great! Professional, responsible, and highly communicative. Most importantly, the dogs immediately loved her! Would definitely hire again.”
About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, including my own ball python. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd who can be very anxious, so I’m used to being patient with nervous pets and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve pet sat for animals of all different temperaments, including a cat with a more aggressive personality, so I understand the importance of respecting each animal’s boundaries and adapting to their individual needs. I love spending time outdoors and taking walks, and I know the Richmond area well. With two years of professional housekeeping experience, I’m comfortable caring for both pets and homes with the same level of respect and attention to detail I’d want for my own. My goal is to provide dependable care for both your pet and your home, while making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I work about 20 hours a week as an esthetician and make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Because I set my own hours, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I would love to fit pet care into my routine. I believe every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping up with their feeding schedule and any specific instructions you provide. For cats staying in my home, I’ll provide a calm, safe environment where they can settle in at their own pace. Having lived with multiple cats of various personalities, I understand that some cats are social while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to accommodate both! I will stay in regular communication, providing updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing!
About: As a child, I had a small dog named Nike! She was the cutest little Shih Tzu. Having her at a young age taught me responsibility first and foremost, but it also taught me how to appreciate and be patient with animals. I have fond memories of walking her around the neighborhood, being sure she had food and plenty of water in her bowls, and running around with her outside! She also got ENDLESS cuddle time. She was my first best friend, and although she’s not here with me in my adult years, I’ve come to love and value ALL animals, from playful cats, to everyday animals like squirrels and birds, lol. I’m a college student, graduating in the fall next year, and I have many breaks where I’m home. When home, I am fully available everyday, anytime to care for pets! I follow instructions EXACTLY as they’re given to me. Special instructions? No problem! Dinner time at 6? Done and done. I’ll be sure your fur baby has plenty of play time and cuddles as well! Rest assured knowing they’re in good hands!
“Sydney was great! She was very communicative both before and throughout the visit and went above and beyond by refreshing the water for my dogs! I will definitely be rebooking!”
About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.
About: I am a musician, property manager, & ex-software dev who enjoys taking care of animals. One of my favorite experiences was caring for a small farm (dogs, cats, horses, and chickens!) in Kentucky. I love taking dogs on walks around town & to explore the river! I am committed to consistent and clear communication; I place a high value on the professional relationship between house-sitter and host. I love sending daily updates as requested. I don't work during the day, so I can accommodate feedings, med delivery, walks, and playtime all day long! I try to structure my day around the client's schedule, so that the animals don't experience a disruption in their normal routine. I love doing overnight sits for pets in the environment they are most comfortable in — their own home. I find it easy to adapt to a pet’s schedule and routine and I love exploring new places around town via walks!
“Mel was awesome! We were in a scheduling pinch and needed someone to come walk our dog while we were gone. Everything went great! Would definitely book again!”
About: I’m a responsible and passionate professional hoping for a chance to spend quality time caring for your pets! I have cared for dogs my entire life, from an adorable shi tzu mix to a lovable deaf pit. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I’m also happy to assist you with collecting mail, watering plants, and running pet-related errands while you’re away. Need help with more than one furry friend? No problem! I am comfortable caring for up to three dogs at once. I also have extensive experience caring for cats with all types of personalities. I have my own transportation and can travel within Richmond city limits. Your pet deserves all of the care and special attention in the world - and you can trust me to provide just that! I’m a VCU instructor on summer break until August, so every day of the week is open for booking. I am happy to conduct two or three drop-ins or walks per day. As the proud parent of a neurotic dachshund mix, I understand that every pet has their unique needs! I will follow any instructions you provide and will send photos, videos, and any other updates you request.

About: Hi! My name is Sammi and I’d love to take care of your pet 🦮🐈⬛. I have always had a passion for spending time with and taking care of animals. I dreamt of being a veterinarian for many years, which led me to work or volunteer with animals in a variety of settings. I have been taking care of my own pets since I was 12, and I have 3 years of professional animal care experience. Previously, I volunteered at a working dog training center and at a cat rescue. I also worked as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital. As a pet-sitter/caregiver, I’m patient and attentive to your furry friend’s needs. Whether your pet is a bundle of energy or shy and reserved, I respect their boundaries and meet them where they’re at! Feel free to contact me to find out if I’d be a good fit for you and your pet! 😊🐾 I currently work full-time, generally 9 AM to 5 PM, on a hybrid schedule. From July 18-31st, I’ll be available any time of day for walks, drop ins, and taking care of boarding pets! I’m willing to be flexible and work with you and your pet’s schedule. 😊 I’m happy to help with any special pet care needs, such as feeding special diets or grooming. Because I have experience working in an animal hospital, I can also help with administering some medications. I have experience with shy cats, dogs reactive to people or other animals, high-energy dogs, and other pet personalities. When pet-sitting or doing drop-ins, I also make sure to follow any rules or guidelines you have for your home. I’m happy to discuss how I can meet your pet’s needs.
“I was able to enjoy a glorious long weekend because I knew my two dogs were happy and spoiled with Emily. Both my dogs (age 7 & 6) had NEVER been boarded or kenneled before, so I was nervous that they'd be anxious and upset, but they came home absolutely happy and contented after staying with her. She was kind enough to provide twice-daily feedback about their walks, sleep schedule, and general wellbeing, and that helped me relax and enjoy myself. My dogs sleep on the bed at home, and I chose Emily because she was going to be with them at night and because she has so many repeat customers; that tells me all I need to know! Emily is worth her weight in gold. Luka and Teddy had a safe and happy get-away of their own. Thanks so much, Emily!”
“I couldn't be happier with Stacey and the way she cared for my Gonzo. I am always apprehensive leaving Gonzo with someone new, and I've never left him with a sitter who had dogs bigger than he is. But Stacey just loved on Gonzo and made him feel safe and comfortable in her home. He had full access to her huge fenced in yard, a private room for when he wanted alone time, and he spent most of the day on Stacey's heels, or cuddled up next to her on the sofa. Stacey keep me posted daily with photos and little tidbits of info that made me feel comfortable that he was doing just fine for the 4 days we were away. The thing that impressed me most was that on the day we arrived to pick Gonzo up and take him home, while we were packing up his belongings, he leaped up onto Stacey's lap. Clearly, he was very comfortable with her! I highly recommend Stacey and we will definitely use her again.”
“Panda had a great time with Jennifer and her family. We appreciated the pictures and videos she sent, which showed how well Panda was being cared for. We’re very happy with the experience and hope to have Panda stay there again!”
“Miguel and his wife were absolutely incredible! From the moment I connected with them, I could tell how genuinely kind, warm, and caring they are. My flight was delayed by four hours, and without hesitation they adjusted their schedule to accommodate me, which meant more than I can express. This was my very first time ever leaving my puppy alone, so I was naturally anxious and emotional, but they completely put my heart at ease. They sent frequent updates, photos, and sweet messages about how my puppy was doing, allowing me to truly relax and enjoy a peaceful, worry-free vacation. It was so comforting to see how loved, safe, and happy my pup was in their care — they truly treat the dogs as if they were their own. I am beyond grateful for the patience, flexibility, and genuine love they showed, and I trust them wholeheartedly. I will absolutely be using them again and highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care! 🐾💕”
