1. Alexander S.

“Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend”


2. Oli L.

“She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.”


3. Shaine S.

“Hollie is great! She keeps me updated and I can tell she cares about my animals. My house is always exactly as I left it. I will definitely continue to hire her!”


4. Victor S.

“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”


5. Caitlin G.

“Caitlin stayed overnight with our pup for the first time recently, and she was fantastic. She provided updates and lots of pictures throughout her stay, kept him on his routine, and administered a couple of short-term medications (including eye drops). Our plans changed slightly in terms of when we would be returning home and she was able to stay a couple hours later than originally anticipated which was super helpful. She took really good care of our pup, and when we got home, he was really happy and energetic - it was clear he had had a great time with his new friend! We will happily reach out to Caitlin again in the future!”


6. David M.

“Thank you David for providing such excellent care and safety for our sweet Gigi. I appreciate the pictures you sent daily and keeping me informed how she was doing. Thank you for taking her on walks. I really appreciate you keeping the house in excellent order. David even changed the guestroom bed linens and washed the sheets. He went above and beyond expectation I would definitely rehire David.”


7. Piper G.

“Piper is the best!! Piper stepped in at the last minute when we had an issue with our previous sitter. She gave the pups plenty of love and exercise, and FaceTimed so I could go through their routine and virtually walk her through the house virtually. We truly cannot thank her enough!! To boot, she left the house in immaculate shape. Thank you, Piper ❤️”


8. Sarah B.


“Sarah is amazing! Our dogs loved their ten days with her. We got multiple pictures everyday. The house was spotless on our return. I can’t say enough good things about her!”


9. Mariah C.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a mom who worked in the Richmond Animal Shelter & a house full of adopted animals. From my sisters spoiled Pibble baby to my neighbors sweet little Yorkie, I’ve been their go to sitter/walker to watch their babies because they know I’ll love on them like my own fur babies 💕 I love to do Meet & Greets prior to your baby’s walk/drop-in if feasible. Coko & I are available Saturdays & Sundays for Meet & Greets! I am a mom of 3 & we have a Shih-poo named Coko. My babies have all grown up around family dogs and understand to be gentle with fur babies. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly so I’m sure we’ll meet a friend or two on ours walks.


10. Kathleen M.

“After a few negative experiences with other sitters on Rover were so relieved to have found Kathleen. She was amazing with our pup, a great communicator and we returned home to a clean house and happy dog. We’ll certainly request to use her again!”


11. David K.
“I’ve known David for a long time and if there’s anything he’s passionate about it’s dogs! He takes great care of his dog Bentley and he’s grown up taking care of dogs as well. Not to mention, my dog, Peanut, likes him more than me. David is the perfect person for dog walking.”


12. Lindsay T.

“Lindsay was a life saver taking care of my Bambino on such short notice. She was super responsive with check ins and our dog loved her!”


13. Savanna G.

“Savanna was incredible! She cared for both our dogs while we were out of the country, giving consistent updates as well as peace of mind so we could fully enjoy our trip. Our two pups are very different and she was great at meeting both where they were at. She was patient with our anxious dog and built his trust and was able to take our more adventurous pup on long walks and play! She also was a great house guest and took wonderful care of our home while we were gone. I can not recommend her more highly, she was absolutely exceptional!!”


14. Kim S.


“Kim came over for a meet and greet before her stay and my dog instantly liked her. She sent lots of photos while we were away which made me feel better about leaving. We came home to a clean house and happy dog. We highly recommend Kim for pet sitting!”


15. Paula H.

“Paula took such good care of our little Chloe. She stayed at our house and sent pictures and videos each day so we were reminded of the great care Chloe was receiving. Paula was great at communicating with us and didn't hesitate to ask questions to ensure Chloe had the best care. Thanks, Paula.”


16. Rachel K.

“Rachel was fantastic with our pets!! She sent numerous pics and was always extremely communicative of her schedule. We’ll definitely be using her again!”


17. Seline P.

“Seline took great care of our two dogs!”


18. Joi H.

“Joi was an amazing sitter. Our dog had a health emergency while we were away and she handled it calmly and with great care. She kept us informed and kept our baby safe. It involved spending hours in the vet emergency room and then monitoring the patient every two hours. We are so grateful for her calm and caring.”


19. Jess M.
“There are not enough stars to review for Jessica, she gets them ALL!! She was truly an absolute blessing. We felt included in all the fun they had during her stay. We received photos and videos, and just knew our pup was having the best time. Jessica was so kind & comfortable. She made sure to let us know each time she fed our babe & took her on walks & other fun adventures. We honestly couldn’t be any happier with our experience.”


20. Allyson B.
