House Sitting in Richmond

Maricela stayed with our 2 dogs for a weekend and she was so wonderful. She was extremely communicative and when we got home our dogs were happy and relaxed. Thank you for taking such good care of them!

When my husband insisted we go away for an extended European holiday, my primary concern had been animal care as we have never left them for so long. We feel so fortunate to have found and booked with Craig & Chelsea. Craig's affinity for animal care was paramount through every step of the booking. He took great care to acquire background information on our animals in order to have a successful meet and greet. And he was happy to accommodate and book a couple of info/walk sessions before our trip to help acclimate him to our home, trails, and allow our dogs and cat to become familiar with him. Craig was communicative throughout our trip, and shared the right amount and interval of photos and anecdotes to keep us in the loop. In fact, one of the photos shared is now my phone background, Craig managed to capture their personalities better than we ever have with a lens. Upon return we're so happy to be back with our animal family and find our home also well cared for. We spoke with a neighbor on our first dog walk back, who complimented the demeanor the dogs had with Craig (more calm than with us) and how well cared for they were. They also even noted that Craig discovered a struggling Cardinal that he tried to medically assist the poor bird for 20 minutes the other day. A true heart of gold. It's clear that this is a calling for Craig and Chelsea and we couldn't be more grateful for the peace of mind we had while so far away. We hope they found some joy here in our neck of the woods and that we get the chance to secure their services again.

Felicia was wonderful - prompt, reliable and a great communicator (photos and texts each day that she cared for our dog were greatly appreciated). Most important, when we returned home our dog was happy and calm - he had obviously received great care. And Felicia left our house clean and tidy. We hope to use her again in the future, and recommend her highly.

Tarsha and Dennis did a fabulous job taking care of Ruby who clearly had a very good time with them. They also left our home in pristine condition!

Lena did a great job watching our fur baby. She kept us updated the entire time and responds back in a timely manner. We knew our pup was in good hands and had nothing to worry about. Would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Lena!

Dan did a great job taking care of our animals and house. We would have him back and I highly recommend him. He sent me photos and updates daily, which I greatly appreciated.

Ash took great care of my dog Lola over christmas! She was super communicative and stayed at my place with Loma over the holiday. When I came home Loma was so happy and calm and clearly had received great care. I would definitely use Ash again!!

Taryn stayed over the long July 4th weekend with Gus at our home and she was wonderful! She made sure to ask about how Gus reacts to fireworks (he is totally terrified) and she did all that she could to keep him feeling safe and comfortable while she was here with him. She was very communicative -- checked in every day and sent a few photos. We will 100% book Taryn again.

Sam was a dream for our cat. She was very thorough in communicating before and during the visit, and we came home to a happy and relaxed kitty. He can be wary of new people, but he took right to Sam. Next time we need a pet sitter we'll definitely ask her!

My cats and dogs love Paige! She is, in all honesty, the very best. Paige doesn't just take them potty she plays with them and gives them attention just like I do! It's why she will always be my first choice for my pet sitting needs. She also house sits while pet sitting for us and I'll tell you, you can't even tell she has been there. You can trust her she is the real deal!

Annette is amazing. Very attentive to our fur babies. We felt very comfortable leaving them in her capable hands.

Amanda did some sitting for my 2 dogs. She was exceptionally good with these rather difficult rescue dogs who have had limited socialization with people and other dogs. It took the my anxious one a year to take treats from my husband and less than one minute to be comfortable enough with Amanda. She is very calm and gentle as well as responsible and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a pet sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sadie was terrific with my dog Greystone. He took to her immediately and she gave him all the love and attention he needed, plus more! She sent down some wonderful pictures of my pup while I was away. And when I picked him up, he wasn't stressed in the least... he obviously had a GREAT weekend! Thank you Sadie!
