House Sitting in Richmond

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.

We chose Avery because our dog is fearful of men and we wanted him to get used to being around men more. Avery won our Travis over. He patiently waited for Travis to get used to his presence. He took him on walks which Travis loves. We would definitely use Avery again. Thanks Avery for keeping our Travis while we explored the area.

Heather was excellent house sitting with our cat when we went away for a few days. We got regular updates, and it was clear that he warmed up to her quickly. She left our house neat and tidy. We will definitely ask Heather when we need a cat sitter in the future!

She came for an initial meet and greet. Even though it was a last minute booking on our part, she was really accomplished. Our doggo said he would love to have her back! Will definitely use again.

We have a very anxious rescue dog, so naturally we were nervous about leaving him overnight for the first time, but Lena was fantastic! She took amazing care of our pup and 2 cats, and they were super calm and relaxed when we got back home. I'd definitely recommend Lena to anyone!

Great and conscientious sitter. Appreciate the frequent picture updates and care of the house. Will hope to use Kourtney again in the future. ❤️

Maricela is a lovely person and a wonderful dog sitter. She clearly loves dogs, and takes terrific care of our elderly Maggie. She provides great communication and photos, too.

Just so very grateful for Daniel's care of our sweet dog - he watched over her and cared for her like she was his own. Thank you very much, Dan!!!

Charlotte was amazing with both our dog and cat! She was always responsive and sent pictures at the end of the day which always made me happy! We were also able to extend an extra day with no problems! Will be using her again in the future!

I’m overwhelmingly pleased with the care Atlas took with our dogs while we were away. She responds quickly to messages and is proactive in sharing information and asking questions. And she was pleasant to interact with! I would ask her to watch our dogs again in a heartbeat!

She was awesome: Jimmy-Ray actually wimperred when she left. Awe...he liked her. We liked her too. Good experience.
