House Sitting in Richmond

Allison is fabulous! Shows up when she says she will. Sends me daily updates often with pics! Leaves everything at home looking like when she arrived. Burly seems happy!

Jamie did a great job! She communicates well and wasn’t overly bothered by our weird terrier. We would happily ask Jamie to dog sit again in the future.

Cheyenne was awesome! I felt so comfortable knowing she was taking care of my dogs. She kept me updated and sent pictures. I came back and could tell my dogs were well cared for and happy!!

Lou is always a reliable sitter and is a good friend. He has a ton of experience with animals of all types and is great with our pets and is very trustworthy.

Shannon took care of Bennie at my home for 2 nights/3 days. Everything went well, she was very responsive. She took him to some nice wooded trails for walks. The house was clean and Bennie was content when I returned. I would definitely have her walk Bennie and/or house sit again.

Reed was an excellent house and dog sitter. He stayed with our anxious and nervous greyhound and Reed was so gentle and kind with him. Reed had great communication throughout the weekend and sent photos. And left the house in great condition and was very thoughtful. We will definitely be booking with Reed again!

Laura kept me updated with pictures and progress on Teddy, who was a recent adoption for us, so we were anxious leaving him. We were happy to have her come for a meet and greet ahead of time. He enjoyed his snowshoe with her and being able to share the bed! I would certainly use her again and recommend her heartily.

Matt does a great job every time he housesits in our home. We come back to calm cats and happy chickens. By the sounds of it, I think one of our cats in particular has been scheming how to make him stay longer, and will probably attempt to hide in his bag the next time around. :)

It was our first time leaving our dogs with someone since we moved here from out of state, and Fiona was absolutely amazing with them and immediately put my mind at ease. She sent frequent updates and pictures, gave them a ton of great play time and attention, and even took them on a special trip. Our dogs both loved her and will be so excited to see her again next time. We highly recommend her for any of your animal care needs!

Kristen is the best house and pet sitter we have ever had. She spent 10 days taking care of our dog and house. When we returned, the house was even cleaner than I left it, packages and mail neatly stacked, and dog happy and healthy. Kristen communicated all important issues promptly, and even went so far as to find, remove, and save a tick on our Beagle. I can not recommend her enough!

Beatrice watched our two pups on Christmas Eve which was a HUGE help, allowing us to travel for the holidays. We knew our boys were in good hands after they met her during the meet and greet. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Kathleen is incredible! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We had long-standing plans to be out of town for just 24 hrs and then 2 wks before, our house & pup-sitter told us she forgot she’d double-booked and couldn’t do it. We checked River immediately and found Kathy who lives a short distance away. Thankfully she was available and we met a few days later to show her the house and Mac’s normal procedures. We were impressed with her interaction with our little guy; he warmed up to her immediately and she listened to his schedule and quirks, asking useful questions. The next week, we confirmed the day before we left and Kathy arrived at the agreed-on time. She sent a picture of a very happy boy the next morning and was waiting when we got home. She’d already washed the linens and re-made the bed; everything was tidy (perhaps more so than when we left), and she told us how everything had gone. It was ideal; we certainly hope Kathy will return to ensure all’s well in our house again the next time we need to be away!
