“Riley was beyond fantastic! She not only took great care of my girl, but also helped facilitate her transport during a very stressful weekend for me. I am so very grateful and I hope to work with her more in the future.”
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.
“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 😊”
“Wonderful experience. Emily and Abi took such good care of our CheChe! Communication was excellent and they made sure she had everything she needed to be healthy, happy and comfortable during her week-long stay.”
“Camille was awesome! She sent pictures everyday showing how Pepsi was doing, which I must say, he had a great time with her. She was super easy to work with, flexible and understanding. I strongly recommend Camille for her service. I’m confident that once you work with her, you will become a permanent customer to her. Thank you for your great service, Camille!”
“Cyndi was wonderful with our Standard Poodle and sent lots of great updates and pictures. So glad to have found her and look forward to having Maui stay with her again.”
“Absolutely love Terry! First of all she loves Peanut and she asks questions! Peanut had a great time I could tell. Glad we found her she is truly amazing with dogs!”
“Vanessa was amazing and shared multiple daily videos and photos of our two dogs during their almost 5 day stay with her. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone with dogsitting needs!!!”
About: I take care my sisters dog time to time. I had a pet for 10 years and gave it care and support. I am very patient. I am always available after work to dog sit and my weekends aren't super busy. I am reliable and will meet needs of clients. And work hard. I will give it love and support. I am patient and kind. I love taking walks. I have jogged a half marathon. I am friendly
“Pamela and Paul are legit ‘dog people’. They got to know Ollie pretty quickly and confidently helped him ease into a friendship with Marlowe and another client. I received the usual photos of Ollie with a ball or snuggling humans, but was surprised to also receive photos of Ollie playing and snuggling with the other dogs, which was a whole new experience for him! I’m happy to know he was so well taken care of during his time with Pamela, Paul and Marlowe and will reach out again for future boarding!”
“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 !!”
“Andreea is a dedicated dog owner and dog sitter. Her communication is clear and she is always helpful. Our dog was happy during his stay and returned home without anxiety that has happened in the past. We would definitely rebook with her.”
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.
“Very carrying and dependable. Kept us informed each day by providing us pictures of our beloved dog. Will use her again for sure. Bentley came home happy & no stress.”
“Jennifer was so wonderful with Portia and a tremendous help with her flexibility scheduling. We were in Richmond for a busy wedding weekend and we had no worries with our small dog who had just traveled across the country with us. Jennifer and her daughter kept her busy and then allowed Portia's best friend, a small terrier to join her for the last day of her stay. When we picked her up late at night the last night, our usually needy dog didn't even care if she left the warm and inviting home of Jennifer. We highly recommend her.”
“Ronda is amazing, patient, and very caring. She kept my puppy with great care, took him on walks, and sent many pictures timely. We will definitely go back to her next time onwards. Highly recommended.”

“We had a great experience with Veronica, who helped us with cat and house sitting. She took wonderful care of our two cats, making sure they were fed, comfortable, and given attention while we were away. We also appreciated that the house was well-kept when we returned. Communication was smooth throughout, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Veronica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we look forward to reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Elizabeth took care of my cat for 5 days while I was on vacation. She was very communicative and sent me cute pictures of my baby receiving affection. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Leaving my cat, Lola, is never easy. She’s a high-anxiety girl who doesn’t like being alone, so finding someone I could truly trust was incredibly important. Lee was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. He put my mind completely at ease, which allowed me to actually relax and enjoy my trip knowing she was being well cared for. He was incredibly trustworthy, respectful, and communicated consistently throughout our time away with updates that meant so much to us. It’s clear that Lee genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I can’t recommend him highly enough, and we’ll absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Corinne was fantastic! She went above and beyond to care for my cat Winky and made sure I knew she was happy and comfortable while we were gone. She helped us last minute, and was even able to come twice a day. She made an extra visit when I was worried Winky was stuck under our guest room bed. I would definitely ask Corinne to help again in the future.”
“Carolyn did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, and followed instructions perfectly. She even left a light on for me when I returned home late tonight, which was a pleasant surprise!! Would definitely recommend!!”
“Liz is so great with my fur baby- she is so communicative about the visits abs gets great photos of her sessions with her! I will use Liz everytime I need cat sitting - she is super sweet and my cat loves her too.”
“Katie watched Lucy and Master Oogway for the second time, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. She always goes above and beyond—when we ran out of food or litter for Lucy or greens for Master Oogway, she even picked them up for us when we couldn’t get a delivery. We’re so, so grateful for her. She pays attention to every little detail and sends tons of photos, which made us feel so connected to our pets while we were away. Thanks Katie!”
“Kayla and Demitrius were awesome. They took great care of our four cats over the long holidays. In fact, they really went above and beyond by also feeding a stray cat we've been looking after - they didn't have to do thar but they truly are animal lovers. Our littlest cat is naturally very suspicious but even he had warmed up to them by the end of the holiday. We will definitely reach out to them first every time we need cat sitters.”
About: I’m a big cat lover and really enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality. Whether they’re playful, shy, or just want quiet company, I’m happy to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I keep litter boxes clean, make sure they’re eating well, and always send cute photo updates.
“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!”
“Regan was wonderful! Very communicative and took great care of our cats. One was having some digestive issues and she helped be an extra set of eyes to make sure he was doing OK. Would definitely recommend her and will be booking again!”
About: I've taken care of cats for over 8 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, play with, and care for their cats while they're away. In addition to personal pet-sitting experience, I've worked professionally at a doggy daycare for 2 years, where I also cared for cats, and I've volunteered at animal shelters for 4 years, working with cats of all ages and personalities. I am Pet First Aid certified through the American Red Cross and have experience administering medications when needed. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I'll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and regular updates while you're away.
“Bianca took great care of our cats, dropping in to visit every day. They were happy and both mentally and physically healthy when we got home from an almost 3-week trip. We'll be long-term customers, for sure!”
“I booked Farah to look after my 2 cats over Christmas break and she did a wonderful job! Both my kitties loved Farah and were obviously well cared for. I have one cat who’s very shy but he warmed up to Farah very quickly. One of my cats required oral medication and the other needed his teeth brushed daily, both Farah was able to do successfully. Her prompt communication also kept me assured while I was away. The house was tidy/clean when I got back; one of my cats has a habit of kicking litter out of his box and Farah was on top of vacuuming it up. Thank you Farah!”

“Always satisfied with Srujana’s care and enthusiasm when looking after Tenor. The pup always comes back happy, and most importantly, tuckered you after playing with Rex all day.”
“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!”

“Andreea was very professional and took good care of our 1 year old golden retriever Theo. Theo is an energetic dog due to his age and Andreea was able to manage his energy. She has a big backyard and couple of dogs herself which made Theo’s time enjoyable and I could see Theo wanted to spend more time with her. Overall a great experience and would recommend Andreea to everyone.”
“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’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!
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and kitties since I was a kid, and often would take them on walks and help out their owners around my neighborhood whenever I can! I have wanted to have my own doggo for forever, but I am in school right now, so I have loved helping out friends and family when I can! I am also an EMS provider and have provided medical care to dogs and cats along the way that I’ve encountered on calls, which I believe sets me apart. I am currently working part time, and therefore have plenty of time to spend with your pups and kitties! I have plenty of flexibility at work as well which will help my availability as well! I have a fenced in yard at my home, with plenty of room for pets to play around! The safety of your pets and your wishes on how to care for them and their schedule is MY priority!
“Gus spent the day with Elizabeth as a trial for an overnight. She was very responsive and sent us great pictures throughout the day. He came home very content. We’re looking forward to his overnight visit next week. Thank you Elizabeth!”

“Parneet was sweet and assured me my puppy was in good hands. It was my first experience with Rover and I was nervous. At the end of the day I picked up a calm, tired and happy puppy. Perfect.”
“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.”
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.

About: I started caring for dogs by the age of 13. Since then, I have been a reliable and safe pet sitter. I have grown up and taken care of larger dogs, which is where most of my experience has come from. I have cared for little and medium-sized dogs. I love quality time with the animals. Pet-sitting isn't just about letting them out and feeding them; it's about quality time. All dogs have a unique personality, and I love learning about who they are. That way, even when you're away, they are not alone. Hey Richmond furry pet owners! I am transitioning to college within the next month, that being said, I will be home on breaks so you can either reach out to me now, or I will update my availability once I am back in town! I work part-time, usually 2-3 shifts a week from 4:30-10:30 pm. That being said, I have plenty of time in the in-between of other activities to spend time with the animals. I work and live my best life with a schedule, so its no hassle to add in a furry animal in the mix! In the client's home, I will make sure all doors and fences are locked before and after my time over at the place. Lights will be off unless told otherwise. It will only be me in your home with your pets for safety purposes. All rules and directions will be followed, and I am not hesitant to reach out and ask questions because your pet's well-being and safety is important to me.
About: I am incredibly passionate about caring for animals and it brings me great joy and peace to be around them. I have been around pets since I was little and have worked with them all throughout my life, including walking, house sitting, and volunteer work at kennels. I am currently a Virginia Tech student on summer break, so this summer is the most flexible time for me to work! My services in Richmond will become unavailable by late August when I return to school. I have two adorable dogs in my home, a labradoodle and an australian shepherd. They get plenty of love and attention from me, including baths, brushing, and lots of walks! My australian shepherd is nearing the end of his life, so my family and I are doing our best to take care of him and give him the extra attention he needs.

“Absolutely love Terry! First of all she loves Peanut and she asks questions! Peanut had a great time I could tell. Glad we found her she is truly amazing with dogs!”
“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 !!”
“Andreea is a dedicated dog owner and dog sitter. Her communication is clear and she is always helpful. Our dog was happy during his stay and returned home without anxiety that has happened in the past. We would definitely rebook with her.”
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.
“Jennifer was so wonderful with Portia and a tremendous help with her flexibility scheduling. We were in Richmond for a busy wedding weekend and we had no worries with our small dog who had just traveled across the country with us. Jennifer and her daughter kept her busy and then allowed Portia's best friend, a small terrier to join her for the last day of her stay. When we picked her up late at night the last night, our usually needy dog didn't even care if she left the warm and inviting home of Jennifer. We highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Another 5-star stay for Sully! Can’t say enough wonderful things about Cassie and her family. Sully whines to get out of the car when we arrive for drop off. And in each picture Cassie sends, I swear Sully is smiling. He is so happy and well cared for. Thank you, once again, Cassie!!!”
“I could not possibly speak more highly of Dawn. She was in constant communication providing updates and photos of our dog and you can tell she genuinely loves taking care of pets. She was incredibly understanding and went above and beyond when our family was unexpectedly stranded on our way back from our vacation.”
“Ashley and her partner were wonderful! This was our puppy’s first night away and they made both us and her feel immediately comfortable. They are knowledgeable about dogs and kept us updated throughout the stay. Even the kids were great and helped her get some energy out! Would absolutely book with them again.”
“Alexandra watched my kitten, Louis at her home for a couple of nights and was absolutely wonderful! Her dog was also super sweet and got along wonderfully with Louis. Alexandra was very communicative and sent tons of updates and pictures of Louis. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her hands and I would 100% have him stay with Alexandra and her dog again! 😊”
“Matt was extremely helpful and responsive, and provided wonderful crate-free boarding for our standard poodle. From the looks of the photos he sent, she seemed to really enjoy herself.”
