“Randi was awesome! I don’t often leave my dog so I was fairly nervous to use a stranger. However, she came by while I was here to meet my dog, and watching her with him immediately put me at ease. We have already booked another session with her!”
“I had a great experience with Cathy! Her communication was excellent - she was responsive, clear, and kept me updated with detailed messages. She recognized my cat was overly anxious while I was away and she was more than willing to adjust the plans to fit my needs. Would highly recommend and will be booking for future services!”
“Thank you thank you! Thumper loves you and you were right about his ears. I hope you have a wonderful spring and I will definitely book you again when I need someone!”
“Eddie provided drop-in visits for our hound dog Milo while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. He took good care of Milo and communicated well with us throughout, giving us great peace of mind. Would definitely recommend.”
“Isabella was awesome! She was very easy to work with and really enjoyed taking care of our dogs. She sent great photos and was always punctual with her drop in. All 3 of our dogs were comfortable with her and well taken care of during our trip. Gave us great piece of mind.”
“Helen is wonderful! She responds quickly and was able to accommodate last minute requests. She is great with our puppy always keeping her entertained. We will definitely continue to use Helen’s services.”
“Julia did a great job for me when dropping in to watch my dogs recently. She sent me updates over text and even sent pictures when she was there. Highly recommended!”
“We could not have been happier with the care Allyson provided to our cat Harry this week. Allyson sent detailed updates with photos for each visit (we had her visit twice daily while we were gone). She bonded really well with our kitty. She also appropriately clarified questions regarding care for his chronically blocked tear duct. We will for sure be booking her again. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have watched almost all species and sizes of pets! I have taken care of pets from young animals to seniors, and love all of them equally! I specifically have experience with rabbits, hamsters, lizards, turtles, chickens, horses, dogs and cats. As a pet parents to three cats, a dog and a bunny, I spend a lot of time caring for and playing with my own pets. I am a college student on break who has plenty of free time to watch and pamper other fur babies! I am a perfectionist when it comes to follow instruction specifically in animal care. I like to ensure that my animals along with the ones I care for are happy and healthy.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little and have always been the designated pet-sitter in my neighborhood. I have watched puppies as well as elderly dogs, and am equipped to take care of their individual needs and routines! I am currently working part time and have a very flexible and open schedule. I have an active lifestyle and prefer to take multiple walks per day and will happily bring some furry company along! I also wake up early so I can make sure your pets are fed and taken care of within their normal routines. I have my own car that I am able to take over to clients’ homes to watch their pets at any times. And my own backyard is fenced and ready for boarding dogs. I have a small dachshund/yorkie mix that is very social and two sweet black cats that love company as well.
“Shannon did a fantastic job checking in on our two cats while we were out of town. The kitties are still fat and sassy, and actually came out to say hello for their check in photos! Highly recommended.”
About: Recently moved to RVA. I've taken care of cats all my life and dogs from time to time. From back when I was a teen at home with our family cat to ones of my own I've been caring for cats all my life. I have a deep understanding of cat body language, respecting their boundaries, and providing the attention and care they need. I work from home as a software developer and am looking for something to break up my day between calls and project tasks. Being a remote worker means I don't get much excitement day to day. Let me change up my day to day by helping you out with your pets! I live in my own home with plenty of space for walks, trails nearby for exploring, and an open and clean home for time away from the sun.
About: Not only have I owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, I've also fostered at the Richmond SPCA, RACC, and Sanctuary Rescue for a cumulative 13+ years. I'm highly experienced in animal behavior, nutrition, and medical needs. I do know animal CPR and I have no issue administering meds. I love animals and I am extremely familiar with their behavior. Please contact me to care for your pets so you can be stress free! I work from home which allows me to make my own hours and I can drop in any time past 9am. I am also used to pets with medical issues and can come over whenever needed to issue medicine. I keep a tidy house with many rescue cats and dogs. We have numerous litter boxes that are scooped or cleaned daily. People who come to my house are always shocked that I have cats. My dogs are kept as part of the family and have a large back yard to run around in.
“Laura is fantastic! We always feel completely at ease leaving our dog in her care. Her communication is excellent, and we know our pup is always well-looked after. Highly recommend her!”
“Lexi went above and beyond. She not only cared for our cat (who loved her!!) but she also saved our home when our water heater exploded and was leaking all over our house. Seriously saved the day!!! 15/10 would recommend and will be booking with her again!!!”
About: There hasn't been a time in my life where I wasn't surrounded by animals. My family has had a range of small, medium, and big dogs that we have raised from when they were a puppy to their old years. I'm currently working full time at my local grocery store but I don't go in until 10-11am so my early mornings are free! I normally go to the gym but walking pets gives me a chance to help myself stay active as well as your critters:) — For drop-Ins I can take your pet/s outside to use the bathroom, and on a leash if a fenced yard isn't available. I will be with them for the entirety of my stay to keep them entertained. — For walks I am flexible with the pacing whether it be fast or slow depending on your dog's needs. I have lots of experience walking heavier dogs on a leash so that won't be a problem.
Ashcake cat parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and I’m glad I went with Lauren! She was great. Excellent communicator and took great care of my kitties. She even managed to snag a picture of my boy who is terrified of almost everyone and who I said would be hiding the whole time. I will absolutely use her for future trips!
This was the first time using Rover and Julia for my cats and chickens while having to be at a family function in the midwest. Everything on the homefront went smoothly and Julia provided me with peace of mind tending to my fur babies . I will definitely be using her services again!
Tiffany is an absolute superstar! We were leaving our little princess Ms Lizzz home alone for the first time since we got her and Tiffany was an absolute godsend. She was engaging, attentive and playful. I think Ms Lizzz will miss her visits now that we’re back home. Highly recommend Tiffany if you want peace of mind with your four-legged family while you’re away!
