About: I treat every furry friend like family! From playtime and cuddles to feeding and photo updates, I’ll make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. 🐶🐱 I work full-time (8 AM–5 PM) on weekdays, so my availability is more limited during the week, but I’m much more flexible on weekends and holidays! 💕 Lots of love, gentle care, and happy tails guaranteed! 🐾 Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with care and respect, always following your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and a lot of friends who have dogs. My roommates and I all love dogs and they would be in good care with us for however long needed. I am currently a college student who has a lot of extra free time. I love being outside and want a dog to walk with me to keep me company. I live in a gated community which has a dog park and is very dog friendly. I have the space and the time to care for your animal!
“Sarah B was outstanding as a pet sitter. I was keeping my daughters lab as well as my cavalier. I had out of town guests and needed someone to stop by and take them for potting breaks while we did sightseeing. Sarah was most professional and loving. I highly recommend her.”
“Damacia is great with our giant Schnoodle. He loves squirrels but she manages to control him. We have used her for boarding and walking and always been pleased. I would highly recommend.”
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.

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.

About: I worked as a pet care specialist at a pet resort and worked there for two years. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am used to giving medications, dealing with different breeds, feeding and walking as well as temperament levels. I have a dog of my own who is my world. I promise to treat your pet like they are my own and to be organized and caring when it comes to every aspect of taking care of your pet. I have been around all types of dogs and cats as well. I’m willing to take the time to learn about your pet and do whatever care they need in order to be comfortable and safe. I will always do my best at all times. I work full time during the week but am available for overnight stays during the week and weekends as needed. My work schedule is 8-5pm. While Petsitting in the clients home, I always make sure to be aware of my surroundings and others while out and about on walks as well as maintaining the safety of the clients home.
About: Hi! I'm a passionate pet sitter with professional experience working in both a boarding kennel and a veterinary clinic. During my time at the kennel, I cared for pets of all ages—from young puppies and kittens to senior pets—and worked with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also have experience caring for pets with medical conditions and special needs, including administering medications and providing attentive, individualized care. Working in a veterinary clinic has further strengthened my knowledge of animal health and behavior, allowing me to recognize when a pet may need extra attention and provide confident, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos throughout my visits. 🐾 I currently work full time at the veterinary clinic but I can pop in multiple times a day to check on your furry friend(s) or I can also stay the night at your house 😊 When caring for your furry friends in their home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship and attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also have experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a boarding kennel, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including those with medical conditions or special care instructions. I understand that pets feel most secure in their own environment, so I take the time to make them feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I can administer medications if needed and will closely follow any instructions you provide to ensure their health and well-being. During each visit, I’ll also check that everything is safe and in order in your home, and I’ll provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring, capable hands. 🐾
About: For much of my life, I have lived with pets. For the past 20 or so years being single and work travel has made that difficult. I have filled that void by caring for my friend's pets. It has been a huge benefit for them as well as myself. This is my attempt to formalize this as I am relatively new to Richmond. My schedule is my own and I can prioritize your pet as my priority with appropriate notice. My friends and clients have appreciated my flexibility. One aspect I love about pet sitting and walking is the walking portion. If appropriate, I love taking your dog on long walks in the wonderful public parks around Richmond.
About: I own 2 dogs and 2 cats myself, and have taken care of pets for family since I was young. I enjoy being around animals, and promise to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have 13+ years of experience with dogs, including senior dogs and 5+ years of experience with cats of all personalities. I am currently working freelance, so I have lots of flexibility to take care of your pets. If you have a pet that requires extra attention, I can complete my work in your space, providing any amount of care needed such as timely medication or frequent potty breaks. I have cared for pets in other people homes multiple times and I will ensure your space stays neat and tidy, and will ensure your pet gets the best care in the safety of their own home.
About: I am an ardent admirer of animals, and I care for dogs with the same devotion I would offer a child. My affinity for dogs dates back to my birth in 1985. I truly enjoy spending time with them and I certainly engage in conversations with them. I will ensure that your dog feels completely at ease and is exceptionally well cared for. I have a 13-year-old dachshund, whom I have cherished for his entire life. Dogs are my favorite companions, and I hold a deep affection for them. Should I be given the opportunity to care for your dogs, please be assured that they will be in the safest possible environment with me, and you will have no cause for concern whatsoever. It will be a secure and comfortable home for them.

Rachel was great walking Laynee! It rained during the time I had originally booked for and she was able to be flexible and work with me so that she got walked in between breaks in the storms! She communicated everything and kept me up to date on everything. If you’re looking for someone with great communication who you can trust with your pets- it’s her. I’ve already booked for vacation in October!
