“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”

“Myrna was fantastic. She has a pool for all the doggies. She sent photos and communited throughout Starbuck's stay. Starbuck had such a great time that when we picked her up she didn't want to leave. We will definitely be using Myrna again!”
“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”
“Deven and Tyreek took amazing care of Birdie! I could tell Birdie had a truly amazing time being boarded and always looked forward to returning to such a loving home! Will definitely book their services again if in the area.”

It brings us so much joy to care for others’ pets as if they were our own. We have a flexible schedule that lets us give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. Pet care is our top priority, and we’re committed to creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for every dog we welcome into our home. We provide a safe, loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed.

About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience as a devoted pet owner, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage—from the gentle needs of my senior toy poodle to the boundless energy of my young golden retriever. I specialize in creating a nurturing and safe environment, offering personalized care that includes potty training, leash walking, and reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and recall. Whether it’s meeting the unique challenges of senior care or keeping active pups engaged, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a deep passion for happy, healthy pets. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, from morning walks and feeding to playtime and enrichment activities. My flexible schedule ensures your pets receive the care and attention they need, with plenty of time for exercise, training, and affection. In my home, I provide designated spaces for my pets to rest and play, ensuring they have a comfortable and secure area. I also have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time. Your pet will be safe and comfortable, and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can arrange playtime with mine. If preferred, I can keep pets separate or crate them if they are crate-trained, ensuring everyone feels relaxed. I follow a consistent routine for my dogs, including regular feeding, walks, and playtime, to maintain a sense of structure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe and positive environment where pets feel at ease, with plenty of attention and affection throughout their stay.
“Abby, had great communication with me while our pup was there. She sent me pics which helped put our minds at ease. What sold me on her was that within 5 minutes of me reaching out with our dogs info and request for care she responded back with her address ready to take him immediately. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be using her services!”
About: I promise you trust, communication, comfortability, and great care! I love pets! I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Skippy! I now own my beautiful mut mix of Lab, Pit and Blood Hound. His name is Maverick! He's 2 and such a loving, happy dude! I currently dog sit my mom's 3 Boston Terriors whenever she needs to go out of town and have been since I was a teenager. I also take in my best friend's older pit bull, Cookie, and her and Maverick get along wonderfully! There's plenty of space to walk dogs around my apartment community, along with a fenced in tennis court area where they can run free! I work full time AT HOME so I'm flexible just looking to make some extra money I work from home Monday through Friday, and am available most weekends, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your doggos! I live in an apartment but it's very dog friendly! I will ensure your dog gets lots of attention and love! I have access to lots of trails, open pet areas, and a fenced in tennis court where they can run free and we can play fetch! My dog is very friendly and has lots of experience around other dogs. I do have a large dog crate if that is required or necessary.
“Brodie had another wonderful stay with Raye! As always, Raye was communicative and shared lots of updates throughout the day. Thank you, Raye! We are so appreciative of the peace of mind you provide.”
About: ...Because they have Collar IDs! All jokes aside, if you are looking for patience with your family member(s) then I am your go-to gal! I have had rescue dogs my whole life and know the extra attention needed to get positive results. When friends and family continually asked me to pet sit I realized it was about time that I considered expanding my network and offering my home to others. I recently took a 2 year break from Rover as I fostered and ultimately adopted a Senior Lab Hank. Barry and I are not ready to adopt another family member but we’ll happily treat your pups as a member of our pack. I cannot wait to give your loved one the attention they need while you work, travel or enjoy an after work happy hour! I am lucky to have a fully remote job so can easily be flexible with potty breaks, walks, mealtimes, administering medication, playtime & any other needs. I have taken my dogs to both Petco and Petsmart training sessions. As a result, I value the importance of a well behaved and tired pup. I am happy to keep up with any training or special requests you may have to maintain a clean home, exercised dog and standard routine. During the summer months I suggest early morning/evening walks to avoid hurting any paws.
About: Been a pet groomer for over 16 years! I’ve pet sat for clients before. I have also administered insulin to diabetic pets when pet sitting! I work from home so I’m around pretty much all the time. I will take afternoon walks. I like to be outside, in the evenings my family and I will be in the back yard playing. We have a pyrndoodle who Loves to play, we sadly lost our other family dog 3 years ago. We have enjoyed pet sitting. It has helped fill a void. We went this route because we saw how hurt our other dog was and we didn’t want to get a new dog and have the same thing happen to them. This has been a great way for our dog to have fun! I have a fenced in yard. We let our dog out 3-4 times a day, as well as a walk a day to help keep his joints healthy.
“Deanna was friendly and caring, sent pics and video of our little guy. He seemed to have a good day hanging with her and her dogs. Her dogs are sweet and playful. Will definitely be back!”
