“Kelsi did an amazing job looking after Lloyd, our Rottweiler. She was wonderful about communication - sending thoughtful recaps and great photos after every visit. She clearly took the time to get to know his personality, and he took to her right away. We'd absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who's attentive and easy to communicate with.”

“This was our first time using Rover. Riley was helpful in explaining how it worked. She watched our cat for several visits for two days. For each visit she sent information on how the visit went. Unfortunately our kitty would run and hide after greeting her so she couldn’t get many pictures. She even went and found him and sat trying to convince him to come out! He ate well during her visits and she was kind to clean up the dirty cat bowls each time! It’s also very comforting knowing Riley has experience working in a vet clinic.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up around dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and even volunteered at an SPCA when I was younger. I’ve been caring for my own dogs since 2015, including my senior pup, Kobe, whom I’ve raised since the day he was born! He was one of my first dog’s puppies, so I’ve had the special experience of caring for a dog through every stage of life, from newborn puppy to senior companion. Today, I’m the proud parent of two dogs, Kobe and Walter. They’ve taught me that every dog has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or older and prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️ As a dog mom of two, pet care is already part of my everyday routine! 🐾 I currently work Tuesday through Friday, but I’m fully available on weekends and Mondays! I’m also available for evening walks and drop-in visits after 4:30 PM Tuesday through Friday. I offer overnight boarding in my home, as well as flexible scheduling for walks and drop-in visits. For boarding, there are two adults in our household who help ensure your pup is fed, walked, cared for, and given plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! For the safety and comfort of all our furry friends, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting any boarding reservations. This gives your pup a chance to meet my two dogs, helps us make sure everyone gets along, and allows us to discuss your pet’s routine, personality, and any special care needs. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs and find a schedule that works for everyone. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my priorities! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! I share my home with two dogs, Kobe and Walter, and understand the importance of proper introductions, respecting boundaries, and giving each dog their own space. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to seniors, and always strive to make each pup feel right at home. When I’m away, dogs are safely crated separately to prevent unsupervised interactions. I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care routines as closely as possible, and provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in loving hands!

About: Hello there! I’m Sam. I’ve loved animals since I was 9 years old and have been a pet sitter on Rover for over 4 years now. As you can see from all my reviews, I enjoy being part of this community! Currently, I have two fur babies of my own: Tango, a Norwegian Elkhound, and Scout, a Pitbull/Yorkie mix. In 2024, my beloved Timmy, a dachshund senior dog passed away at 15 years old, so I also have personal experience caring for older dogs who need a little extra love and specialized attention. I know firsthand how important and how difficult it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pets while you're away. I can assure you that your fur baby will be in safe hands with me. A Little Perk: I just got a nice camera and am looking to practice my photography! I am offering free digital pictures with any house-sitting or drop-in booking. I currently work a remote 9-to-5 job with plenty of flexibility, meaning I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet's specific routine and needs throughout the day. I do not offer services in my home since I live in an apartment with my 2 dogs. I have a reliable means of transportation, and I can make any special accomodations for your pets if necessary.

About: I have had dogs and cats for all my life, and have cared for them for others for over 12 years. From kittens/puppies to seniors, I can care for them all! I will be your fur baby’s new best friend (other than you of course! 😁) in no time! I currently work on my own flexible schedule, so it is easy for me to fit your needs in! Just let me know what you are looking for and I will do my best to accommodate! I will be as attentive to your fur baby’s as you need me to be. I will play with them, walk them and make sure they are getting food, water and treats (if those are okay!). I have spare leashes, brushes and a number of other care accessories. I have two kitty backpacks if I ever need to transfer them without a leash. I know dog and cat CPR, and have several veterinary connections nearby for quick service if that is ever needed.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes! I raised two dogs from puppies to adulthood and trained them myself. At the time I lived on a farm and insured to keep all of my animals (3 dogs included) safe and well behaved. I am absolutely in love with animals (as many should be) and miss having that part of my life. I am a student and work part-time. Due to this, I have to be organized and prepared. As I have worked/lived off the land, I also am not afraid of getting my hands and knees dirty. I look forward to meeting you all and your beautiful fur babies! I am currently working part time and take classes purely online. This gives me a mostly free schedule and the availability to take care of your animals! I believe a dog's comfort is top priority. I always aim to respect a dog's boundaries by reading their body language and presenting myself as not threatening.

About: As a passionate dog lover with over 14 years of hands-on experience, I've had the joy of raising three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. My experience has given me a strong understanding of canine behavior, exercise needs, daily routines, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. As a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, I bring an additional level of patience, compassion, dependability, and attention to detail to my pet care services. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and individual needs. Whether your furry family member needs an enjoyable walk, a potty break, playtime, or companionship while you're away, I'm committed to providing attentive, personalized care. I'll treat your dog with the same love, kindness, and respect I give my own! My goal is simple: happy dogs and peace of mind for their owners! As a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant working PRN in home health, I enjoy the flexibility of creating and managing my own weekly schedule. This allows me to incorporate dog walking and drop-in visits into my routine while balancing my patient care responsibilities. Because I coordinate my appointments in advance, I kindly request at least 48 hours' notice when booking pet care services. My schedule varies weekly, but I do my best to accommodate your needs and provide dependable, personalized care for your furry family members! Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities! With over 14 years of experience raising and caring for my own dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines and providing a safe, comfortable environment. During walks and drop-in visits, I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. My professional healthcare background has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and ability to recognize changes in behavior or well-being. I treat every pet with the same love and compassion I give my own, while always respecting your home and providing updates for your peace of mind!

About: I'm a life-long dog lover that will provide great care to your dog! I live in a great pet-friendly neighborhood, with a dog park nearby. My family has always had dogs, growing up - so I'm very comfortable around them. If I'm house sitting, know that your dog and I will be taking several walks to get some exercise and having many playing sessions! Also, I don't think I've met one dog that didn't like me :). Hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to meeting your dog!

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Amber Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,392 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Amber Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Amber Lake. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
