“My Penelope got the opportunity to spend time with Damacia. The best care was given to Miss P she came home nice and tired. Damacia sent pictures of her and kept me informed. Give Damacia a try. You won’t be disappointed and you can enjoy your trip with a peace of mind.”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our big, fluffy, Luna, who can certainly be exuberant at times! She kept me updated several times a day with great pictures. I would 100 percent use her again!”

About: I have had at least one dog all of my life. Often times more than one. Currently living with just one Lab who would love a visitor/playmate. I foster emergency overnights on rescue transports. I have been a caregiver for dogs of all ages and kinds; puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I have grandcats I house sit for and have also taken care of chickens. I work from home with tons of flexibility. I have one adult child at home in graduate school, they have a health condition which keeps them home most days too, so your pet is never short of human companionship. I live in a great neighborhood for walks on a leash. I provide dog sitting in a one story home with a large, wooded fenced yard in central Richmond neighborhood. Great for dogs of all ages and abilities. I live with one Lab that's a large couch potato. He also likes his human to sit outside with him rather than be out there all by himself. So we spend lots of time outside together. Pets are permitted on furniture and the bed, whatever makes them feel at home. I do have a large dog crate that can be set up if needed, but only if requested as it will put your pet at ease. The most important factor is making sure your pet feels comfortable, keeping their routines and habits to lessen the stress of a new place.
“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.”
“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.”
“Baloo must have had a wonderful experience! While he happy to see us, he wasn't too anxious to get back in the car - We think he wanted to stay! Thank you so much for all the photos and updates while we were away. Will definitely send Baloo your way again!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for 10 years, and frequently pet sit for friends and family in my home. I would love to provide your dog with a safe, snuggly space while their people are away. As a dog and cat owner, most of my days revolve around pet care already! While I work in an office during the week, I’m a quick drive from home and have flexibility to run home for potty breaks and WFH as needed. I love nothing more than a cuddly weekend on the couch with my dog Tater and he always loves a friend. I have a fenced in yard, a very dog friendly dog, as well as two dog-savvy cats. I have a crate that can be assembled if needed for your pet. I couldn’t get my Velcro dog off the couch or bed if I tried, so my home is a great space for dogs who like to be extra close to their people.
“This was Luna’s second stay with Laura and DJ. When Luna started wagging her tail the second she heard their voices. She is so happy there- it is truly her home away from home. Laura is wonderful with sending us pictures and videos. We are so grateful to have found such a loving family for our pup to go to when we are away.”
“Cassandre is the best. She and her family provide such a fun and safe environment for our dog when we are away. Cassandre is a genuine dog lover, and we have so much peace of mind knowing that our dog is in the care of someone who loves him as much as we do.”
About: My experience with animals goes well beyond caring for my own pets and those of family members. I previously worked with Rover and have professional animal-care experience from working at two animal shelters: Lehigh County Humane Society and Bucks County SPCA. Since September 2021, I have been working professionally as a dog groomer. This has given me extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and personalities. I’m comfortable handling dogs and paying close attention to their behavior, comfort, and individual needs. My experience isn’t limited to dogs. I have also cared for cats, small animals, and some farm animals. What sets me apart is my combination of pet-sitting, animal shelter, and professional grooming experience. Animals have been a consistent part of both my personal life and my professional career, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide variety of needs and personalities. I currently work as a professional dog groomer, and I’m available to care for pets in my home around my work schedule and on my days off. When I’m home, your pet will be part of my daily routine and receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and time to relax. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and make sure their stay works well with my schedule. With my experience working at two animal shelters and my current experience as a professional dog groomer, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and temperaments. Safety and comfort are always a priority. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and individual needs, and I will follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needed.
“From the very start, Matt impressed us with his prompt, thoughtful, and thorough communication. That same level of care carried through our meet-and-greet and throughout our puppy’s stay. We loved receiving his twice-daily updates and photos — it was clear our dog was not only well cared for but truly happy. When we returned from our trip abroad, jet lagged and exhausted, Matt gladly agreed to keep our pup an extra night so we could rest. When we picked him up, it was obvious how loved and well looked after he’d been. We couldn’t recommend Matt more highly and will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Caitlyn and Sam were so great with my dog and truly treated him like family! My dog can be a handful so having a sitter who enjoys him as much as I do is very important. I will definitely use them again!”
“Mrs Cindy is what me and Rocky needed. She took excellent care of my baby. This was Rocky 1st time at a siter. She took pictures and kept me updated. Loved the experience and would definitely take Rocky back if needed”
“Caitlin was a fantastic dog sitter! I contacted her somewhat last minute to watch my cavalier King Charles for the weekend and she was able to accommodate. I did a meet and greet and saw that she has a perfect place for dogs and a huge fenced-in backyard. Her and her husband are very attentive and I could tell they really care about the animals they watch. Very happy to have found her and will definitely be using her again. She even gave me a write-up report at the end with a little story of Berkeley's adventure!”
“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.”
“Wowww the amount of love and gratitude Ms.Frances showed my furbaby was everything ❤️He Really enjoyed himself I was so happy with all the videos and pictures. She most definitely will be seeing Rj again.”

“Cynthia did a fantastic job taking care of my cat! She made sure she always had water, a clean litter box, and a little play time. She updated me with each visit and gave a thorough report card to let me know how things were going. I would definitely recommend Cynthia as a cat sitter and book her for future trips.”

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, my schedule is pretty flexible! I'm available throughout the week, as well as weekends. I'm more interested in petsitting, but I can also do daily walks and drop-ins with enough notice! For petsitting, 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 (and cats!) of all kinds of energy, whether they want to be active all day long, or just snuggled up on the couch!
“Mark was amazing with our cats! He was attentive, helped our cat with his asthma meds, and super communicative. Felt very good knowing he was taking such great care of the cats while we were away!”
“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.”
“Tara did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Evonne, while we were away this weekend! She is always very communicative throughout her visits and sent us pictures, which we really appreciated and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. Evonne was well taken care of, and it was clear Tara made sure she had everything she needed. We’re very happy with the care she provided and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We will definitely book with Tara again!”
“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!”
About: Growing up with cats, dogs, and rabbits I have years of experience, caring for my pets and those around me. Whether you have a feisty cat or an energetic puppy, I am able to match the energy levels that your pet needs. I’m unfortunately traveling too often for me to have my own pet and would love to care for yours when I am in town. I work a hybrid 9 to 5 and if given enough notice can work hybrid days with your pet at your home or simply just do a drop in. Live updates, pictures, and videos, and following your instructions to a T. Your pet safety is incredibly important to me and understanding their comfort cues is something I prioritize.

“Sorry for the late review. I've been doing the grandma thing for the past 2 weeks. I am a widow and I live alone many miles from family. My dogs, Margot and Molly, have become my life. When I learned that they were not invited to the party, I almost declined the invitation. Through a trusted friend, I learned about Rover. I took a chance and booked a time with Dawn. WOW! It's like taking your child to kindergarten for the first day and they walk away from you without looking back. I like to think the girls are good judges of character. Well Dawn took their leashes and they walked away from me without looking back They were not the least stressed when I picked them up later. They had play time with other dogs, they had their dinner and they were ready for a good night's sleep when I picked them up. I got updates on where they were and what they were doing. I couldn't be happier than I was with Dawn's care. This experience was a golden buzzer for me.”
“Laura took great care of my pup! She was communicative and shared helpful updates/photos. Her dog Maple is a wonderful playmate! Our dog looks forward to returning to Laura’s house again soon.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Hugo had a long day-care stay with Ayme - for over a month! Ayme's is his home away from home so it was a no-brainer that that's where Hugo would be while we had our bathrooms remodeled. Hugo enjoyed playing with his doggie friends every day, I think he's bored now. Thanks again, Ayme and Andrew!”
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!
“I feel so lucky that we found Virginia! She took our high energy dog in very last minute and provided her with phenomenal care. Virginia was responsive and sent a ton of pictures throughout her stay, which my partner and I really appreciated. I definitely hope to book with her again in the future!”
“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.”
“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!”
“William was great with Church and very attentive throughout the day. He made sure Church was comfortable, safe, and well cared for, and I appreciated the communication and updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing Church was in good hands. I would definitely book again and recommend him to others looking for reliable doggy day care.”
“Joyce is great! She takes care of my dog Banana on a daily basis while I’m at work & is constantly working with my crazy sales schedule. Joyce takes great care of Banana, making sure she’s fed twice a day, has pleeenty of potty breaks & all the love & affection she could ask for! She even sends me daily pictures of my old pup throughout the day, which always cheers me up! 10/10, would recommend 😊”

“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease.

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.

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: I have had at least one dog all of my life. Often times more than one. Currently living with just one Lab who would love a visitor/playmate. I foster emergency overnights on rescue transports. I have been a caregiver for dogs of all ages and kinds; puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I have grandcats I house sit for and have also taken care of chickens. I work from home with tons of flexibility. I have one adult child at home in graduate school, they have a health condition which keeps them home most days too, so your pet is never short of human companionship. I live in a great neighborhood for walks on a leash. I provide dog sitting in a one story home with a large, wooded fenced yard in central Richmond neighborhood. Great for dogs of all ages and abilities. I live with one Lab that's a large couch potato. He also likes his human to sit outside with him rather than be out there all by himself. So we spend lots of time outside together. Pets are permitted on furniture and the bed, whatever makes them feel at home. I do have a large dog crate that can be set up if needed, but only if requested as it will put your pet at ease. The most important factor is making sure your pet feels comfortable, keeping their routines and habits to lessen the stress of a new place.
“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.”
“This was Luna’s second stay with Laura and DJ. When Luna started wagging her tail the second she heard their voices. She is so happy there- it is truly her home away from home. Laura is wonderful with sending us pictures and videos. We are so grateful to have found such a loving family for our pup to go to when we are away.”
“Baloo must have had a wonderful experience! While he happy to see us, he wasn't too anxious to get back in the car - We think he wanted to stay! Thank you so much for all the photos and updates while we were away. Will definitely send Baloo your way again!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for 10 years, and frequently pet sit for friends and family in my home. I would love to provide your dog with a safe, snuggly space while their people are away. As a dog and cat owner, most of my days revolve around pet care already! While I work in an office during the week, I’m a quick drive from home and have flexibility to run home for potty breaks and WFH as needed. I love nothing more than a cuddly weekend on the couch with my dog Tater and he always loves a friend. I have a fenced in yard, a very dog friendly dog, as well as two dog-savvy cats. I have a crate that can be assembled if needed for your pet. I couldn’t get my Velcro dog off the couch or bed if I tried, so my home is a great space for dogs who like to be extra close to their people.
“From the very start, Matt impressed us with his prompt, thoughtful, and thorough communication. That same level of care carried through our meet-and-greet and throughout our puppy’s stay. We loved receiving his twice-daily updates and photos — it was clear our dog was not only well cared for but truly happy. When we returned from our trip abroad, jet lagged and exhausted, Matt gladly agreed to keep our pup an extra night so we could rest. When we picked him up, it was obvious how loved and well looked after he’d been. We couldn’t recommend Matt more highly and will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Joyce was great! Left my 2 dachsunds with her for a week while we went on a cruise. This was the very first time the babies been left with anyone and she took great care of them, she sent pictures and updates the whole time, which let us vacay without worries! I would definitely reach out to Joyce again in the future ❤️❤️”
“Cyndi was awesome! Kept both of our 100+ pounders and never flinched! They were so happy with her I thought they may not want to come home! We will definitely be booking another stay with Cyndi!”
“Cassandre is the best. She and her family provide such a fun and safe environment for our dog when we are away. Cassandre is a genuine dog lover, and we have so much peace of mind knowing that our dog is in the care of someone who loves him as much as we do.”
“Nathan did a phenomenal job with our dog Moose. He was attentive, patient, and met us for a meet and greet which helped out a ton. He was very easy to work with, flexible, and thorough. We would definitely book a stay with Nathan again.”
About: My experience with animals goes well beyond caring for my own pets and those of family members. I previously worked with Rover and have professional animal-care experience from working at two animal shelters: Lehigh County Humane Society and Bucks County SPCA. Since September 2021, I have been working professionally as a dog groomer. This has given me extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and personalities. I’m comfortable handling dogs and paying close attention to their behavior, comfort, and individual needs. My experience isn’t limited to dogs. I have also cared for cats, small animals, and some farm animals. What sets me apart is my combination of pet-sitting, animal shelter, and professional grooming experience. Animals have been a consistent part of both my personal life and my professional career, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide variety of needs and personalities. I currently work as a professional dog groomer, and I’m available to care for pets in my home around my work schedule and on my days off. When I’m home, your pet will be part of my daily routine and receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and time to relax. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and make sure their stay works well with my schedule. With my experience working at two animal shelters and my current experience as a professional dog groomer, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and temperaments. Safety and comfort are always a priority. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and individual needs, and I will follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needed.
“Hilary and Willy were awesome. Super flexible and understanding. Peach came back happy, healthy, and exhausted. I will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Caitlin was a fantastic dog sitter! I contacted her somewhat last minute to watch my cavalier King Charles for the weekend and she was able to accommodate. I did a meet and greet and saw that she has a perfect place for dogs and a huge fenced-in backyard. Her and her husband are very attentive and I could tell they really care about the animals they watch. Very happy to have found her and will definitely be using her again. She even gave me a write-up report at the end with a little story of Berkeley's adventure!”
“Wowww the amount of love and gratitude Ms.Frances showed my furbaby was everything ❤️He Really enjoyed himself I was so happy with all the videos and pictures. She most definitely will be seeing Rj again.”
