I highly recommend Amanda to anyone needing a dog sitter.”

Thanks guys!”
“I cant say enough good things about Myrna. She took exceptional care of my senior pup and went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable, and loved during his stay.

About: I have had pets my entire life and genuinely love spending time with all animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'm happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am a teacher who is home during the summer days and have a flexible schedule to help meet your needs. I'm a teacher who is home on summer break so I currently have flexible and open hours during the week day to meet the needs of you and your pet. As someone with an active lifestyle, I love getting outside for walks and play sessions, but I'm just as happy spending quiet time with pets who prefer cuddles and companionship. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your furry family member.

About: Hi! My name is Mikayla and I’m a recent college graduate looking to make some money before I start my full time job! I’ve taken care of my family dogs, neighbors pets, family friends dogs, fostered many dogs while in college and it’s easily one of my favorite things to do! I love meeting new dogs of all kinds and giving them love and belly rubs. I have experience taking care of dogs aged 2 - senior dogs around the age 15. I also am very good at taking care of blind, deaf, or disabled dogs as well. I recently graduated college so I have a lot of free time until I start my full time job in July! I am available every day of the week! I have a fenced in yard, bed crate, dog food, diapers, pet care supplies, toys, etc! I have all the items needed to take care of your dog in the best way possible.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I have been pet and house sitting for years, mostly just pitching in for friends who know how eager I am. My childhood dog lived until 16 and was my best friend. I was his primary caretaker, especially in his elder years. I have lived with many animals throughout my life and find caretaking to be something that comes naturally for. As a dog person, I never expected to grow into such a cat lover, but I am a fan of all creatures big and small. My best friend has a dog that I take care of anytime he needs it. He refers to me as her "dog aunt". I have a reasonably sized car and am open to making trips to the park/river, as well as going on walks around your neighborhood or providing whatever other companionship is needed for your animal. I currently work part-time as a Float Therapy Specialist. This keeps me somewhat occupied on the weekends, but I’d still say I have pretty open availability. Weekdays I am available after 1pm when I finish my massage training. I believe pets are like people in that they all have their own personalities and needs. My goal is to create a relationship with your animal so I can best suit their needs.
“Awesome. My pup loves Amy more than me I feel like. She always comes back happy and clean even after playing all day with the other dogs. Also very flexible with my crazy schedule with pick up and drop off times. Choose Amy!!”
“Susan and Josh were such great hosts for June! Lots of outdoor space, and other dogs to hang out with. I would recommend this home to any pet and will use again if we’re in the area!”
“Nina was caring, communicative, and kind! She gave our pup lots of exercise during daycare and he was so happy, sleepy, and content once we picked him up. Highly recommend :)”
About: I've had dogs (and a cat!) my whole life and love animals so much. We lost our pup Mickey, a couple years ago and we haven't been able to get another one due to travel. When I'm not on the road I would love if our family could host your sweet one. There will be no lack of snuggles and love. We have a fenced backyard and are located in Westhampton close to St Christophers' School. Your pup will be in great hands so you can enjoy your holiday. I currently work from home so I'll be available all day for your pups. With the exception of baseball we are around all weekend as well. I have a fenced yard as well as a super walkable neighborhood in Westhampton. I do not have a crate but comfortable doing that if you wouldn't mind bringing one.
About: I have recently decided to pursue dog care full time and can’t wait to provide my services to the community! I am available for dog day care at my house, dog walks, and dog boarding at my place! I have a 5 year old Bernedoodle, Shep, who is very friendly and loves to meet new friends. I am available full time! I am not currently providing house sitting but am more than happy to have your dog stay at my house. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to play and am able to provide your dog with all of my attention throughout their time with me!
“Ethel is a great sitter! She was easy and quick to communicate with. Her home is welcoming and well set up for dogs to have plenty of space to play! We look forward to having our dog stay with her again soon.”

“Shelby walked my dog daily for over a week while I was unable. She was always on time, responsible, friendly to my dog, and communicative. I recommend her as a dog walker.”
“Benji, my “rescued me” dog, has been hesitant in the past to leave the house with a new person. He has really taken to Mallory. His tail is wagging vigorously, when he sees her coming up the sidewalk! She is always warm and friendly with him, and he looks forward to her visits.”
“Niely did a fantastic job looking after my elderly pup and cat. She gave lots of pictures and text updates, it felt great to know they were getting a lot of attention and love. Would recommend and will definitely use again!”
“Jenna, she went above and beyond her duties as a dog walker. She was very kind to Trevor, who is kennel anxiety dog. That has been in Hanover County animal shelter for way too long so this beautiful vibrant, sweet sweet dog they decided to euthanize so I have been walking him so that he won’t have kennel. Anxiety and Jen was a wonderful part of this. thank you so much and a shout out to Jenna”
“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.”
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: I specialize in thoughtful, low-stress care for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy and selective. I take the time to understand each cat’s routine, preferences, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with multi-cat households, administering basic medications, and caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I treat your home and your cat with the same level of care I would expect for my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in calm, capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around visits, ensuring I’m always on time and able to provide consistent, attentive care. I’m intentional about not overbooking so each cat receives the time, attention, and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I prioritize being fully present and dependable. I focus on maintaining each cat’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and playtime or companionship based on your cat’s personality. I take the time to understand preferences — whether that’s interactive play, quiet company, or simply respecting their space. I’m attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite and will always communicate anything noteworthy. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping things clean and consistent. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing.
“Grace was so helpful and quick to respond to a last minute request! She took great care of Cookie and brought in some packages that were left on our porch without being asked! We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Kira was an absolute dream to work with. I've been on the road with my dog for 10 months straight and have used many sitters across the country and she was by far the most reliable and communicative. My dog almost didn't want to come back home with me! But in all seriousness, Kira was professional and accommodating when I had to shift to an overnight last minute. She's just beginning her journey towards a career working with animals, so she is highly qualified to deal with all types of situations. Cannot recommend highly enough !!”

“My cockapoo had the best time in Susan's home. I don't think he was ready to leave. She sent me multiple pictures each day and set my mind at ease. I will definitely trust her with my little one again.”
