Ariel was very communicative and flexible with both pick up and drop off times, and sent me so many cute photos throughout the day. I felt perfectly safe leaving Cricket in her care.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals since I was little. I have expensive experience with dogs, especially, and taking care of both puppies and elderly dogs. I know, knowledgeable about feeding schedules, bloat, and dealing with pets that may eat too fast. I can also walk two dogs at a time and navigate other animals/pet interactions. Cat wise, I own a cat myself currently and am knowledgeable on administering medication, both topical and oral. Oral medication includes pills and syringes. My cat, when I first rescued him, had pneumonia and severe URI. So I am very knowledgeable when it comes to dealing with chronically ill animals as well. I am currently looking for a job so up until late June I am free anytime. But after I will be working full-time, but can do morning or after work drop ins. My weekends are also completely free so if you want to go away for a long weekend, I would be happy to drop in. When it comes to walking, my schedule is the same. I would also be happy to board your cat or a dog, as long as you’re OK with them interacting with my own pets. I live in an apartment, but I have a lot of open outside yard turf that dogs and cats can run on if they like. Inside my apartment I have a bunch of cat towers and toys that if boarding your animals would love to interact with.

“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 !”

“Katharine was so responsive and kind as I navigate a last minute work trip. Her house was obviously a pups heaven and I was so grateful that my dogs, Swoosh and Frankie, were able to stay with Katharine and Louie (x2) for a few hours. If we’re ever back in Richmond, Katharine will always be our first call!”

Ashley L.

“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets for many years now. I thoroughly enjoy their company, and they seem to enjoy mine as well. I am very energetic and love spending time outside. As a carer for dogs, I believe strongly that they should get a ton of out door exercise. If you choose me as a care provider, you can be assured that they will be very active during their time with me, and location and temperament permitting, will have plenty of fresh air and green space to enjoy. In addition to loving on pets professionally, I work remotely from home as a grant writer. I make my own schedule, and can easily make time to get some fresh air. I live very close to Forest Hill Park, and spend lots of time there and the Buttermilk trail with and without dogs to walk. If you live elsewhere, I'll be exploring the green spaces near you with your dogs, and treating your personal space like the guest I am.

“Jesse was awesome to work with, and was super accommodating and flexible with all the changes around my work trip. Would definitely book with him again.”

Brittany C.

About: I have had animals my entire life. I love taking care of them and filling their lives with lots of pets and love. I currently have 3 dogs, ranging in ages 1-12. I have experience with reactive dogs, puppies, cats, and senior dogs. Excited to take care of your fur baby I’m currently a student at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am home for winter break, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. It is very important to me that all animals are safe and well cared for. I will follow all your instructions including walking and feeding schedule, as well as giving medication timely “ if applicable”.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and truly love providing a safe, happy home away from home for every pup in my care. I’m an experienced sitter with more than 20 repeat clients who have trusted me with dog sitting, walking, bathing, and fun play dates. At home, we have a friendly bichon who loves making new friends, as well as a playful 2-year-old poodle who enjoys having furry guests around. Your dog will have built-in companions and plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. With a flexible work schedule and a genuine passion for animals, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s needs. I treat every pet like family and look forward to welcoming yours into our home! My work is fully remote so dogs and i go out about five times a day. This includes a long walk or hike in the afternoon. We also take play breaks throughout the day to keep him engaged. We also have a fenced in yard so they are able to play outside as much as they please! Pet safety is always my top priority. I live in a condo with a fully fenced-in yard, providing a secure outdoor space for supervised play and fresh air. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means closely monitoring introductions, following specific feeding instructions, administering medications, or maintaining consistent routines. I keep a clean, calm environment and never leave pets unattended outside. My goal is to create a safe, structured setting where every dog feels comfortable, protected, and right at home.

“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!”
