Holland was great! My cat seemed happy us usual when I got back from my trip, and Holland was great about sending me pictures and videos. She came when she said she would and she sent me videos of how she played with him to assure he was getting his energy out! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will definitely look to use her again!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life of all sizes. I grew up with a great pyranees/ border collie and have a dog of my own who is a dachshund. I dog sat for my neighbor, friends, and relatives frequently. I also have experience in sitting for cats as well. I can also help your dog learn new tricks! I taught my dog how to sit, stay, lay down, paw, roll over, follow, and wait all within 6 months. I am currently a part-time employee and have a dog of my own, so I have plenty of time and experience in pet care to give your furbaby the care they deserve! I’m flexible to what they need. Whatever needs you have for your furbaby I can meet! My dog is very particular, so I am patient, willing and understanding to what your pet needs.

Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.

Abby is a top-tier petsitter! She watched Coconut while I was away, and from the moment I left, I had complete peace of mind. She was incredibly conscientious and thorough — you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Her consistent and detailed communication with each visit eased my mind. Without fail, she checked in twice a day with photos and detailed recaps of each visit. Seeing Coconut happy and well cared for made my time away so much more enjoyable. She went above and beyond in every way. I will absolutely be hiring Abby again and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving petsitter. Coconut was happy and lucky to have her! 🐱

Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!

She asked great questions before I left and kept in great communication with me as I was gone. I will definitely ask her to cat sit again.

About: Graduate Student at VCU with flexible summer hours ready to care for your animals. I’ve been a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also have previous experience dog sitting and walking specifically dogs. I’ve trained my own cockapoo (who was definitely my soul dog), including basic commands and good behavior habits, and currently manage all care for a senior beagle/lab mix, including her vet visits, medications, and daily routines. I’m also experienced with cat care through shared custody of our cat, Judah with my roommate. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to offer consistent morning and afternoon availability for pet care. I prioritize reliability and clear communication, and I’m happy to work with families to find a routine that fits their needs. As I build long-term relationships, I’m open to expanding availability to best support both pets and their owners I tailor my approach based on each type of service I provide. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, awareness of surroundings, and your dog’s comfort with pace, weather, and other animals. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s routine in a familiar environment—proper feeding, clean spaces, and attentive check-ins while respecting their home. For house sitting, I create a calm, consistent environment by following established routines, providing companionship, and keeping your home secure. Across all services, my priorities are clear communication, reliability, and building trust with both pets and their owners.

Heather was great! She was communicative, responsive, and prompt when coordinating care instructions and when reaching out in response. She followed instructions and provided consistent and helpful updates. I loved getting updates and photos throughout the day. It helped give me peace of mind while being away for 12 hours. I absolutely recommend her, and look forward to a repeat booking in the future.

We asked Grace to check in on our crazy orange cat a few times while we were out of town pretty last-minute, and she exceeded all expectations! She sent lots of pictures and gave great summaries each time she visited. Our cat hates to be alone for too long, and it was such a relief to know that Grace was giving her some much-needed love and attention! We'd definitely use Grace's services again in the future.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Theresa. A friend recommended her to me, and she watched my cat over a long weekend. Right from the initial meet-and-greet, I knew she was the perfect fit, she immediately got down on the floor to meet my cat on her level, which meant so much. While we were gone, her attention to cleanliness and detail was great. She cleaned the water bowls and soft food dishes daily and handled the litter box exactly as instructed. I absolutely loved the tons of photo updates she sent, you could see how safe and comfortable my cat felt around her. On top of everything, she was incredibly accommodating with a last-minute request. I am so grateful for her care and will definitely be booking her again!
