8. Catherine C.
“Cat was an amazing sitter for our pittie and kitten while we were out of town for the weekend! When our initial plan of house sitting didn’t work out, she offered to do as many drop ins as we needed and even accommodated an extra visit the day of our departure. Our meet and greet went so well with her and Kurama and Bella took to her immediately. She followed my laundry list of instructions to a t, sent us multiple updates throughout the day and was always so communicative with us. Thank you Cat for all of your help. We had no doubt that our kiddos were in great hands. If you need a reliable sitter we would absolutely recommend Cat!”

I never once have worried about my dog when she’s in Erian’s hands. I can’t recommend Erian enough, she’s an outstanding dog sitter who clearly has a passion for dogs! Thank you Erian for taking such good care of Margarita for me while I’m away!”

17. Sydney G.
“Sydney was amazing with my sweet dog PJ. I came to Richmond from out of town for a few days and was grateful to coordinate several dog walks with Sydney. PJ is not a city dog, so I was a little hesitant on how best to handle downtown Richmond. Sydney knows the area well as a VCU student, and she was able to find green space and waterfront walks for PJ. She also did well to secure arrangements with me on short notice. I will certainly reach out to her again on my next visit to Richmond. Thanks Sydney!”
