Kayce did an incredible job with my puppy, who needs consistent care and love! She made sure to send me photos and pupdates all throughout the day, making my day trip extremely easygoing. I felt as if I was leaving my pup with a friend that I could trust! I’m so glad I picked Kayce, and when the time comes, I will request her again! Thank you for everything! You're so awesome!

Lauren was great. Super friendly and could tell she truely cared about taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She sent pictures and updates and asked questions to make sure she was doing everything right. She was accommodating with a more last minute booking to house sit for a weekend. Would definitely reccomend Lauren!

Ada house sat my dog who was both diabetic and recovering from bronchitis which required shots and other medications twice a day. She not only cared for MMO’s medical needs but provided emotional support for him in my absence. She sent pictures and conducted a River video chat with me to ensure not only Momo’s emotional support but for mine as well. I felt confident my beloved pet was in good hands.

About: Animals have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember, and growing up in a household with both dogs and cats taught me how to read their unique body language and personalities. Today, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful cats of my own, so I know firsthand just how much your pets mean to you and the level of care they deserve. I have hands-on experience handling pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages, which includes raising a family dog from a puppy and training him to sit, as well as managing and pet-sitting two energetic 80-pound dogs simultaneously. I am also entirely comfortable with the less glamorous sides of pet care, as I am highly experienced in administering oral pills and various medications to both cats and dogs, maintaining strict routines, and handling unexpected bathroom accidents or cleanups calmly and thoroughly. I work full-time Monday through Friday, making my daytime availability perfect for early morning or evening walks, check-ins, and feeding routines. I am also available for overnight housesitting during the week, though this is typically best suited for independent adult animals who are comfortable being alone during standard work hours. My weekends are completely open and flexible for overnight care, extended daytime sitting, and drop-ins. Because young puppies require constant, round-the-clock supervision and undivided attention, I only accept puppy-sitting bookings strictly on Saturdays and Sundays to ensure your little one gets the dedicated care they need. Building a foundation of trust is my top priority when entering your home to care for your pets. For dogs, this means maintaining strict leash safety during walks, keeping a watchful eye for hazards, and following their established feeding and bathroom routines to minimize any anxiety. For cats, I prioritize a calm, respectful environment, giving them the space they need to feel secure while ensuring litter boxes are pristine and food is fresh. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping it clean, locking up securely, and handling unexpected messes or accidents quickly and thoroughly. Whether keeping a energetic dog safe on a walk or administering medication to a sensitive cat, I am committed to providing a secure, stress-free environment so you can have total peace of mind while you are away.

About: My name is Nicole, and I am a passionate dog lover. I would love to play with your furry friends and help care for them. I have a fenced backyard where your dogs can go potty if they don’t want to go on walks (I am very adaptable), and my home is roomy for your dogs to roam free and play. I love all dogs and will ensure they receive plenty of exercise and attention. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, and I will respond within 24 hours. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I am fully prepared to accommodate my work schedule and will be more than happy to take pictures throughout the stay and send it to you. I treat your dogs as if they are our own. I also have two American Cocker Spaniels at home; their names are Sky and Stella. I am more than happy to do a meet-and-greet to see if we are a good fit (meet and greets aren’t required, but I’m definitely happy to meet beforehand!).

About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!

I like playing with animals and making sure they’re having as much fun as possible while you’re away!

Anna was super nice. She was on time to the appointment and very flexible with how long she should stay. We came to Va for a wedding and didn’t want to have our dogs alone in an Airbnb and wasn’t sure of our return time so we decided on a rover, Anna was the perfect fit for what we needed. She was super friendly and really good with our dogs. We are planning a trip back to the same area when winter is over and look forward to having Anna back to care for the dogs.

About: I’ve helped take care of dogs for many years from the family dogs, families dogs, and friends dogs. I will feed your dogs accordingly to your schedule and instructions I’m able to take them on walks around the neighborhood or let them out in your fenced in yard. Playing with them is always apart of the plan. I’m currently available full time during the days Monday-Friday so I have the full week and weekend to give my full undivided attention to your fur babies and make sure they have the best time while you are away. I would take care of your animals however you prefer , If you have a fenced in yard I would let them out back. Depending how active the dog is i would take them on 1-2 walks throughout the day. I would make sure they have food/water to eat.

About: I would love to come take care of your pet. I have always loved animals and training them has always been second nature to me. All my life I have been raising puppies along with all types of other creatures. I value their life as you would your own and I treat all owners and their belongings including furry children with utmost respect. I have fostered puppies from SFC(Spotsylvania) and BRAG here in Richmond. I am an army veteran who's current pet is a pitsky. She knows commands I have taught her myself. Sit, stay, down, drop, speak, handshake, ect. :-) I also know how to do dog CPR even though I am not certified I had a lab/mastiff mix who had a heart condition. I hope to work with you in the future. I currently am not working so I am flexible atm. However that may change by then end of June. I am always open to discussing plans with you.. I have a fenced in yard and at my clients home, if they do not have a fenced in yard, I make sure to never allow a pet to escape. I couldn't imagine the terror if it happened to mine so I will never let that happen to yours.
