“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Exceptional First-Time Experience! Jay was absolutely wonderful with Scooby this past week. This was our first time using a sitter, and she made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Scooby recently had surgery, and Jay was incredibly attentive and thoughtful about his needs. We received daily pictures and consistent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Scooby even made a few new friends and looked genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. We’re so grateful for Jay’s compassion and professionalism — we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Michelle was AMAZING with my dog. My dog is a special needs dog. (He can't do stairs, has anxiety accidents, needs medication, etc.) I so rarely leave my dog with anyone else because of this. But Michelle didn't make any of his needs feel like a burden. Her and her family were so warm toward him and very attentive to his idiosyncrasies. He got along with the kids, who were sensitive to his need to warm up to people. He ran around the house and was so happy to be there with the family. Michelle sent updates multiple times a day with pictures/videos and a report on how he was doing: if he went to the bathroom, what he ate, and what his mood was like. I will be booking with her again and will very easily recommend!”
“Kendra has been amazing! She made sure to send pictures and provided me with regular updates. I felt at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. Something that is hard to come by these days. I will be using her again!”
About: I am new to Richmond and looking to explore with my pup, Rubens. He has a lot of energy and loves to play with other dogs. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. Would love for my dog to have a play mate during the day. Using Rover to keep a routine and explore Richmond while I look for a full time position. I am currently new to Richmond and in between jobs. I walk my dog anywhere from 5-12x a day from 15-75 minutes (depending on weather, need to get out of the house, etc.). My job right now is to enjoy the outdoors with my dog and yours! Rubens and I welcome all other dogs as family! I live in a first floor apt with a small fenced backyard (only for small dogs). There is a hallway that runs from the front door to the back yard area, which is where Rubens likes to do zoomies or be a watch guard dog for the doors. As far as behaviors, Rubens is allowed on my furniture and has a small basket of toys that he shares. Treats are only during training and water is down at all times. We are pretty flexible, but can also set rules per your request to stay on your schedule/routine.
“I had a great experience with this sitter and would absolutely book again. They were reliable, professional, and clearly cared about my dog’s comfort and well-being. Communication was consistent throughout, and I appreciated the updates and attention to detail. My dog came back happy, well cared for, and in great condition, which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.”
“Tahlia was a wonderful sitter for my cat, Elby. She sent photos/videos and gave a summary of his time with her, which I really appreaciated; and from what I saw, he enjoyed his time with her.”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“Christian was absolutely fantastic! He was very easy to work with. He took great care of dog family member... Christian communicates well and is very responsive. We're happy to book with him any time! Highly recommend!”
“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”
About: Hi! I recently moved to Richmond and am excited to meet some new furry friends! I grew up with a Cockapoo who was a huge part of my life and recently passed away from old age. He had diabetes, so I got firsthand experience caring for a dog who truly depended on his humans. I love spending time with dogs, playing with them, and even teaching them tricks—I taught my dog how to roll over! I’ll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and love I would want for my own. I currently work in Ashland 8-5, M-F. Depending on where it’s at, I can be there during lunch break quick, and also in the evenings after work! Weekends are usually pretty wide open for me. I am flexible! I have a 1bd room apartment so it is easy to keep an eye on the pup and give them loving while you are gone! As well as open patches off grass, walking trails, and parks nearby.
“Stephanie graciously accepted my last minute booking and made Paris feel right at home. Her updates were timely and the photos were great! She is the best. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I've had my dog 15+ years and fostered dogs for many years before that. My dog Snork and I take 3 walks a day and comes with me to work each day. I love my little guy! Since Snork is a senior dog and he can't walk as far as he used to, I'm looking for more opportunities to walk and enjoy dogs! I currently work a 9-5 job so I'm able to care for your pet after 5:30pm on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I would consider some mornings on a short term basis. I would prefer to care for your pet from your home; however, in some cases, I can care for a pet in my home. I have a fenced in backyard and live near a wooded walking path.
“Laura was amazing with my dogs and amazing with all my request or accommodations needed. I would definitely use her again in the future and every time she’s available she is my go to sitter. I recommend Laura to anyone with any type of dog. Thank you Laura.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and enjoy playing and socializing with them. I have walked other peoples dogs and taken care of friends and neighbors cats. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule. And I can work around your needs. I have a fenced in yard and I have a cat that is used to being around a dog. I love to go on walks and to be outside so I can go on lots of short walks or long walks, whatever is needed. We can run in the backyard off leash if that is preferred.
“Paula was excellent with Blue. We know this, because he didn't want to leave!!! :). Communication with Paula was great during our week trip. We received photos and reports each day of Blue's adventures. Blue had a great time and we will definitely call Paula again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am available on Monday's and Friday's for drop-ins and walks as needed for dogs and cats. Happy to take care of walks and feeding as needed! I have always been extremely respectful of others homes and property. I’m happy to pick up after your pup or cat as needed. Accidents happen and I understand knowing your pet is well taken care is very important!
“Lesley took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. We were in a bind and needed someone last minute. She responded immediately and was very flexible. She sent us updates, pictures, and a video to let us know how he was doing. It was obvious that he was having a great time with Lesley. We will definitely use her again!”

So happy I found this website and Jayanna! She did an amazing job and made my dog feel comfortable, even though she was very nervous around the other dogs at first. Jayanna was patient and caring. She sent us photos and videos throughout the stay without us even having to ask, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating, especially since our booking request was made only two hours in advance. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 .
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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
