8. Dante & Quincy J.
About: We have been fur parents to multiple fur babies both individually and together. I am currently a bather, and for the past two years I have bathed (and nails) dogs off all sizes and ages. We treat each dog like our own, creating an environment that is warm and inviting for them to stay, play, and feel comfortable. While I do work during the week, my partner works from home, so we work together to make sure that the pets are cared for around the clock. Usually I do mornings before work, and he does during the day and evening while I work, and then we work together during the night. We have a fully fenced in yard for the safety of the pets, as well as multiple sized crates to fit any size dog. . We also have 2 friendly pets of our own. Multiple dogs have visited and stayed in our home, and our dogs get along great with others. For dogs who are not as social, we will provide individual play for them as well.
9. Katherine H.
“Katherine was great with our dog Teddy. He loved her and even tried to go home with her. We will definitely use Katherine for all future doggy needs!! ❤️”
10. Lee B.
“Lee is super responsive, a great communicator and caring.”
11. Lila D.
“Lila was a joy, and the relief I needed in my busy work week! I have never used Rover before, but booked her for a week of walks when I was in a scheduling pinch. She was very reliable, arriving right on time each day, and provided me a fun summary of my dogs’ demeanors...and was always very pleasant (even though I’m sure my puppy was a handful at times!). Thanks so much Lila, I would highly recommend you.”
12. Mary S.
“Mary S is the most caring and trustworthy person I know! Her kindness is undeniable and she’s so reliable. She is very responsible and hard working and puts her best effort into anything she does. She has always been drawn to dogs and they have always loved her too!”
13. Catherine C.
“Cat is awesome! She sends detailed updates regularly and I always feel at ease leaving my pup in her hands. Cat has always been a great help and would definitely recommend!”
14. Madeline T.
“I fully endorse and recommend Madeline for Rover. Madeline is a kind, caring, empathic, and responsible pet caregiver, as well as an individual. On numerous occasions she has cared for our three cats while out of town. One of our cats is blind in one eye and a diabetic that requires two insulin shots a day. Madeline had alarms set for feeding and insulin shots and was extremely communicative on statuses of our cats. Madeline also has a beautiful 2-3 year old yellow lab. She treats and loves all animals as her own. Feel free to contact me with any questions.”
15. Sydney G.
“Sydney was amazing with my sweet dog PJ. I came to Richmond from out of town for a few days and was grateful to coordinate several dog walks with Sydney. PJ is not a city dog, so I was a little hesitant on how best to handle downtown Richmond. Sydney knows the area well as a VCU student, and she was able to find green space and waterfront walks for PJ. She also did well to secure arrangements with me on short notice. I will certainly reach out to her again on my next visit to Richmond. Thanks Sydney!”
16. Bridget M.
“Bridget is so caring and patient with our pups! So grateful to have her to keep them company and provide them outdoor time!”
17. Nevaeh S.
“I am delighted to recommend Nevaeh as a dog walker. Having observed her dedication and love for animals firsthand, I can confidently say that she would take excellent care of your pet. Nevaeh is a natural with all animals, which is evident in the way she interacts with them. She has a remarkable ability to connect with animals of all sizes and breeds, always demonstrating patience, kindness, and a deep understanding of their needs. Beyond her technical skills, Nevaeh's genuine affection for dogs shines through in everything she does. Her positive attitude and love for animals make her a joy to work with, and it is clear that she takes immense pride in providing exceptional care. In summary, Nevaeh is a dedicated, reliable, and highly skilled dog walker who would be an asset to any pet owner. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any dog walking position and am confident that she will exceed expectations.”
18. Candace S.
“Merlin loves when Candace comes over and he continues to do well with her! Today he finally allowed her to walk him. They didn’t venture too far, to keep him comfortable. I’m hopeful Merlin will continue to improve!”
19. Linsey S.
“Linsey cares deeply about Parker and provides consistent attention, love, and play every time. She is reliable and positive.”
20. Christin V.
About: For as long as I can remember, I was always surrounded by pets. With my house being the pet house of the neighborhood, my neighbors, friends, and family would always ask for favors regarding their animals. Whether it was a trip to the vet, watching them while their owners were away, or just giving them some quality time, I was always on it! There is a very special place in my heart for pets, and the fact that I currently have four may speak well for that! I am available on weekdays and weekends for walks, and check-in visits only. On weekdays I am available in the morning from 7 AM - 12 PM, and evenings from 7 PM - 10 PM. On weekends I am only available in the evenings from 4:30 PM to 10 PM. I am studying Pre-Medical and working part time so my schedule is a little all over the place. Please make sure to message me sooner rather than later, it would be much appreciated! :) In response to taking care of your pets, I am flexible and will work with you to make sure that everything I am doing for your pet is safe and up to you and your pet's standards. I can easily crate your pet if need be, give them attention if they crave so, or alone time if they are independent. Whatever care your pet requires, or desires, is my job to give just that!
