“Kade was amazing with our cat, Petunia! She checked in her while we were away and took care of her food, litter box, and played with her!! I will definitely book with Kade again in the future. Thank you so much!!”
“Kathleen did a great job with Tater, played ball with him and feed him. She arrived on time to pick Tater up and is very responsive to walking requests. Will book again with her.”
“Rachel is awesome! She came by to meet Odin before she would have to come check on him by herself. I gave super basic instructions and she knocked it out of the park. Would 100% recommend!”
“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”
“Thane sent detailed notes of each visit along with photos. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to people but the two of them really seemed to hit it off! We’ll definitely be looking to book Thane again in the future.”
“Cat is an amazing sitter! She takes great care of my puppy and is very accommodating with her times. She is reliable and best buds with my little puppy girl. A must book if you’re looking for somebody to treat your dog like you would!”
“Came to let our dog out while we went to a concert for the night. Sent us tons of pictures and completed the visit on time! Smooth meet and greet process and will definitely be booking again!!”
“I’m so glad I chose to book with Devinder! I’ve been blown away by his responsiveness, flexibility, communication, and clear love for pets :) He’s very professional, but also comes across like a friend who’s always down to help you out and care for your pets like they’re his own. I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”
“I’m never using anyone else! Tyler has a genuine love and passion for animals that shows in her visits and when she hosts. You won’t just get pictures of your dog playing in backyard - she actually spends time with your pup”
“Abby has been taking care of my cat while I’m away and she has been so communicative through it all! After our meet and greet, I knew I could trust that Abby would be a great fit. Finley seems happy!”
“We reached out to Jessica, because she seemed like a fit for our elderly dog with high medical needs. She was warm, accommodating, and she would have been the perfect fit had our dog not passed away before she could begin providing him care. She had not previously injected a dog, but she was a trooper - coming over for a visit, and gave Ricky insulin with ease. I also felt safe giving her a key to my home. I have already told my best friend (who has three dogs) about her, and while we are heartbroken by the circumstances, we remain hopeful we will encounter her through our dog loving friends who consistently need the kind of support I am confident she provides. Thank you again, Jessica.”
“Cynthia was a great pup-sitter, and kept me well informed with pictures and updates! Sebastian tends to be anxious and he looked like he didn’t miss a beat of belly rubs, cuddles, walks and attention. She communicated all needs and changes in behavior during my time away! She was a great sitter!”
“Hollie was wonderful with our two pups! One is a little more shy, but she still won her over and approached her with so much care. Hollie is highly communicative, responsible, and provided great care. Thank you, Hollie :)”
“Elle took amazing care of my dogs with drop in visits for over 6 months and they both love her so much! She always took the best pictures and sent me updates. I would highly recommend Elle to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Andrew has been by far the best dog walker you could ask for. Always going above and beyond. He literally offered to install the portable AC in my house while I was at work and the AC went out. Leaving Richmond is going to be hard but finding anyone better with my dog will be impossible!”
“Lindsey came through for me on short notice and was a lifesaver over the holidays. She cared for my two cats daily and she was very communicative all week. I will definitely rebook next time I go out of town.”
“Katherine took great care of our pups. She was on time, responsive, and followed all of our instructions. She did such a great job that we already booked her for another weekend. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I grew up with rescue dogs that required unconditional love and regular attention. My family rescued a dozen animals over the last decade that we would rehabilitate and rehome. My childhood experience with pets ranged from house training to aggression aversion. I also house/pet sit for my neighbors. I am currently transfering to VCU and have plenty of time inbetween studying for dog walking, house visits, and check-ins. I am taking class part time and will be very flexible with class work. I make sure my pets get vigourous outside activity along with regular playtime, feeding and medication, and companionship, every day. The Bluetick hound named Tulip I currently own is very dog friendly and loves playing at the dog park, where we go nearly every day.

Aidan S.Star Sitter
“Aidan has taken care of all of our pets - dogs and cats. It's easy to tell just how much he loves animals by his smiles, greetings, and attention to them as well as the scratches and belly rubs. He is gentle with them and always kind. He is also observant which helps if anything is "off" with a pet. He follows instructions and is a good communicator too. I have felt very comfortable leaving the animals in his care.”
Brauers pet parents share their Rover experiences
Abby did an incredible job with our two kitties! They can be a bit anxious but Abby made sure to spend ample time with them to make them feel comfortable while we were away. She was also able to give them daily medications without issue! Would highly recommend Abby and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Brenna did an amazing job of checking in on my cat T. Rex while I was out of town! She was a great communicator and super flexible with my traveling times. I would 100% recommend her to other pet owners and am sure I will reach back out next time I need a drop-in again!!
Kaleb saved the day by sitting our kitty pretty last-minute! He was really communicative and put our minds (and hers) at ease even though she was a bit anxious and in a new home. We definitely appreciated the time and care he took with her along with all the photos and updates.
Alexis has been taking care of our dogs for some time now. Every time we are back from a trip our dogs look happy and well cared for. She always gives us an update and makes sure our pups needs are taken care of. Thanks Alexis for taking care of our pups, we appreciate you!
