“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.
“I have to admit I was very nervous leaving my dog, Zeus with Robin when we went on vacation. However, Robin was great with Zeus. She texted, and sent pictures of Zeus daily. She put all my fears to rest soon after I left, Zeus with her. If you’re looking for someone to give your dog unconditionally love while you’re away, Robin is who I recommend. I know I will be using her services again in the near future. Thank you again, Robin for taking such great care of Zeus while we were away!!!”
“Paula was so great for Apollo! He was able to run around and get cuddle time. She was super accommodating and understanding (we were running quite behind) Many thanks for taking care of our boy!”
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.

“One day I was fine, the next day I started a twelve-day stay in the Critical Care Unit of a major teaching hospital. I contacted Haley—I had never used her before, who stepped into 3-a-day visits to take care of Douglas for the duration of my hospial stay. I reeceived daily reports, but also she communicated with my friends so I could completely concentrate my efforts on healing. I feel she was part of the team that saved my life.”

About: I have been taking care of a farm and many animals on it. Four dogs and 2 teenagers. I have been watching and taking care of animals for a long time and I very much know what they need or like! Pet care fits in my every day life very easily and my teens help me out because they love their animals as much as do! I make sure all animals are comfortable and I will always get to know the animal before doing anything so they are comfortable with me or my kids!!
“Excellent caretaking of our cats. Kelly went the extra mile to also feed our wild birds, which I know THEY appreciated! She made sure that the trash got taken out so that our house didn't smell of old catfood cans, which was so thoughtful. We will use her again!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was 10! I currently have 5 family cats that I am the main caretaker of, and two extras that my sisters care for, but when they’re away I spend time with them. Three of them frequently need medication. I have administered all types of medication! Including diabetic care and needles, oral pills or liquid, ointment, and other types of medication! I would be more than happy to take care of your babies 🐾🐾
“Sophia took great care of my two kitties! She was really sweet and easy to get in touch with to set up the visits. While I was gone she sent me great notes and pictures every day. And she didnt make me feel judged for all of my ridiculous cat care requests (like all good crazy cat ladies have). She also went above and beyond to help me with a problem that came up in my apt while I was gone. I came home to a clean apt and happy kitties. I would definitely book her again and recommend you do too!”
“Riley, you are a very special person!! You took in our little Chocolate when she was ill and we didn’t know if she would make it. You loved on her and helped her pull through. You offered her a bigger environment should she grow strong enough. You provided updates and pictures for the duration of our extended trip. We are extremely thankful that we found you! ❤️🐈⬛ Thank you so much for all you did for us and our little girl!”
About: Hi! I'm Reis, a dependable and active animal lover with both professional and personal pet care experience. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility where I supervised doggie daycare, monitored group play, and helped ensure dogs stayed safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. This experience taught me how to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight house-sitting and pet-sitting services, caring for pets in their own homes and maintaining their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. As someone with an active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a weekend sitter, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently work a part-time job that allows me to have a lot of flexibility. I am able to work in all of Richmond and surrounding areas as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Through my experience working at a dog daycare facility, overnight house-sitting, and caring for both a senior dog and a young dog of my own, I've learned that every pet has different needs and energy levels. Whether your pet prefers a relaxed walk and extra patience or lots of activity and play, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: What makes me a good sitter you may ask? Well a good sitter is someone who understands that our furry friends are family of course! I take this approach because i’ve grown up around and pet sat pets for much of my life. If you need someone who will care for a pet as if it were their own then you have found your sitter! I currently work full time in IT from home and I’m seeking to fill my additional time with extra opportunities! As long as I have my laptop and wifi I am available! I love to interact with pets of all shapes and sizes. Im very used to dogs and cats so Im happy to play with them as needed to reduce energy as well as crate them for naps , also as necessary. Walks, play time, nap time, feeding are all within my normal care.
“Our cats and chickens were well taken care of during a Christmas trip to see the in laws and even our Christmas tree was kept watered! I look forward to having her booked for any future trips since our shy, anxious kitties like her.”
About: Cats have always been part of my life — I've had as many as five at once! I understand that cats are independent but still need real attention, enrichment and love while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with shy cats, social cats, multiple cat households, and administering medications if needed. Your cat will get genuine care and plenty of photos so you never have to worry.

About: I’m a stay at home mom with three dog crazy kiddos! I’ve always had dogs my entire life, and spent part of my young adulthood working as a vet tech. I have experience walking dogs for my neighbors growing up and taking care of friends’ critters. I’m home most of the day so your pup will get plenty of attention and opportunity for exercise and play time. My family and I love hanging out at home in our backyard when weather is nice and spending time with our animal crew. Nowadays, I live on three acres with my family including a little schnauzer and a flock of chickens. Your pup will be able to go on long walks and adventures as our neighborhood has lots of trail options! My kids are in school most of the day, and are very responsible and good with all animals. Your pup will get lots of socialization and love with us. Your fur baby will be in good hands with us!

“Paula was wonderful! We were visiting from out of town and she took our booking even though it was short notice. Our dog had a great experience and Paula was responsive and kind.”

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.
“Denise is amazing with my puppy. Luca gets so excited to see her every time I drop him off. I was nervous finding someone for my 12 week old pup but she has been great!”
“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!”
“Zadie enjoyed her day stay at Andreea's today. The shady back yard was a perfect exercise spot in this hot, muggy Richmond weather. Andreea let me know via message that Zadie wasn't so interested in her food, which she made up for when she returned home! Guess she was having too much fun interacting with Andreea's two pups to think about eating. Smooth booking, arrival and departure.”
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.
“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.”
“Griffey loved spending the day At daycare with Elizabeth. He came home good-tired and happy :) Elizabeth was great to work with and very professional. Our meet and greet was easy and she asked all kinds of good questions about Griffey which made me confident that she was the right sitter for our puppy! pick and drop off couldn’t have been easier and she sent pics during the day which brought smiles to my face while I was at work. Definitely will be bringing Griffey back to Elizabeth!”
“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.”

About: I have had dogs since childhood! “Puppy” love can change any attitude! A little TLC for your fur babies is what I can provide for you. I work remotely so pretty flexible on time. Feeding, walking, playing all in a days work. I find that a little animal break in my day make me more productive. Our 3 large dogs use doggy door but the little ones have to be let out. We walk our dogs every morning and throw balls ever afternoon.
“Kelly was great with our new shelter dog Mindy. Kelly was prompt to respond to messages and very easy to schedule with. It was clear from our meet and greet that she is a true dog lover! Poor Mindy was terrified on her first day and wouldn't come out of her crate, but on the second day, Kelly was able to coax her out and take her for a walk. Have already re-booked!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have had hands on experience with small, medium, and large dogs as well as puppies to seniors. I’ve been around dogs that are very calm and dogs that “don’t usually like people” and have been able to have them warm up to me. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering oral medication, and providing exercise and play. I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends which allows me to be more flexible in caring for your pets and making sure they receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, and playtime. When caring for pets I prioritize keeping their normal routines to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide walks and playtime based on their energy levels. I pay close attention to behaviors and behaviors changes and ensure doors, gates, and leases are secure for safety. I also can send photo updates to owners while they’re away.

I’m comfortable asking for clarification when needed and communicating to make sure your pets have what they need.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was 9! I’ve had two dogs in the past, and currently have 6 cats in my household.

I also have a car, so I can make trips to the store or vet clinic if necessary. I will spend all of my time in your home with the animals, playing with them if they are friendly or playful, or just being there for them if they’re shy. I make sure they’re fed, have clean litter, and fresh water. I’m also willing to administer any medication you feel comfortable trusting me with.

About: Hi! I'm Heather — a lifelong animal lover who has rarely spent a single day without a dog by my side. I've been caring for dogs my entire life and currently share my home with four dogs of my own — a 9lb Chihuahua, a 9lb Yorkie-Chi mix, a 50lb Lab mix, and a 75lb Red Retriever — plus a cat and some fish. Safe to say animals are my life! After losing a beloved dog who was poorly cared for at a kennel, I became passionate about providing the kind of attentive, loving care that every pet deserves.

I grew up understanding that pets are family members, not just animals, and that the trust you place in someone entering your home is significant. I take that seriously every single time. You'll always receive photos and updates during every visit so you know your baby is happy and well cared for.

If the dog is crate, trained to sleep in the crate at night, they’re welcome to sleep in the crate or if the owner wants, they can sleep in the bed with me. I do not mind.

About: My husband and I have a 7 year old German short haired pointer and a 10 year old Wheaten Terrier/King Charles Spaniel mix. They are both friendly with other dogs. They have free range of the house other than our living room couch. We have an Invisible fence brand around our yard and we live in a cul-da-sac in our neighborhood, which is also great for walks.

I am happy to stop by during my lunch break to check on your babies in the city. Any other surrounding areas would have to be weekends and not during work hours. Apologies for any inconvenience! I am happy to stop by your home and care for your pets. One of my pups is reactive and we do not want to make her (or your baby) uncomfortable by bringing other pets into our space.

“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.
“I have to admit I was very nervous leaving my dog, Zeus with Robin when we went on vacation. However, Robin was great with Zeus. She texted, and sent pictures of Zeus daily. She put all my fears to rest soon after I left, Zeus with her. If you’re looking for someone to give your dog unconditionally love while you’re away, Robin is who I recommend. I know I will be using her services again in the near future. Thank you again, Robin for taking such great care of Zeus while we were away!!!”
“Paula was so great for Apollo! He was able to run around and get cuddle time. She was super accommodating and understanding (we were running quite behind) Many thanks for taking care of our boy!”
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.
“Mark and DJ took incredible care of our two fur babies. Luna and Millie came back happy and exhausted from all the playing in their fenced in backyard. We got twice daily updates with pictures and they even sent a bag of treats with the pictures printed out home with the girls after pick up! We cannot recommend them Enough. Professional, kind, organized, and just all around wonderful environment for our girls. We will 100% use again!”

Cassandre is careful about following instructions that help maintain his routine, and offers valuable suggestions to help it go better. Great communication, with abundant photos and videos. Thank you! ❤️”
