“Matt is very knowledgeable about dogs and provided detailed updates while Koda was in his care. I felt Koda received fantastic care during his stay with Matt and will definitely use Matt again!.”

“Our pup had a great stay with Julie and Eric! He's a nervous little guy and felt immediately at ease in their home. Will definitely be booking again!”

Lynda B.

“Amy took great care of our pup and sent many pictures while we were gone. We’re sad we found her right before we’re moving out of town, but highly recommend her for anyone who needs a pup sitter!”

Caitlin P.

“Hilary took care of my dog, Penny, for 10 days. She did an awesome job! I got photo updates every couple days. Penny went on a hike and took a couple trips to the dog park. Hilary was very receptive to any needs Penny had and was very fast to answer questions. I would definitely use her again!”

Amy B.

“Our dog has separation anxiety. After lots of daytime visits, our dog had his first overnight stay. It was so reassuring to know Ayme would take such good care of him and that he now looks forward to visiting her place (runs to the door). Ayme was also very diligent in giving Harry his medication. We also appreciated the multiple pictures with it being our first night away from him too. 100% wholeheartedly recommend!”

Vanessa & Jeremy S.

“Aaren and Jordan were such fabulous sitters for my itty bitty 80lbs pittie! They sent several pics and vids throughout his 2day stay which definitely put me as ease. Highly recommend!”

About: It's pretty simple - I love dogs and I work from home. Having recently said goodbye to my own best boy, Gary (a squishy English bulldog mix), I can guarantee that I'll get as much happiness out of seeing your dog as your dog will hopefully get from seeing me! I understand how important it is to know your pet is comfortable in your absence. I will treat yours as my own and send you as many updates as you'd like! Some key skills that may come in handy: - Walking dogs with leash reactivity - Experience with senior pets and those with medical needs - Administering medications, injections, paw wraps, etc. I'm currently working from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and love on your pups! I'm available for boarding all day, every day and would be happy to have a four-legged coworker around :) I have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby safe while exploring and getting lots of sniffs! We also keep a clean and tidy home to ensure your pet is always safe. Of course, there may be times when I need to step out (I'm human after all!), but will be happy to abide by any requests you have. Things like bowls, leashes, light up collars, pet gates, and a crate can be made available.

“Alice came home from a long stay happy, relaxed, and waggy. Grateful to Ross and Ava for their thoughtful care, communication, flexibility, and laid back orientation. We (and by we, I do mean Alice…) will be back!”

Zoe & David C.

“Amelia was wonderful! She was able to accommodate a short notice booking and took great care of my baby, Coconut! Communication was easy, and I felt comfortable knowing Coconut was in good hands.”

Shannon S.

“Great Sitter! We had such a great experience with Miguel and his wife! They took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay with interactive videos like seeing our Zuko rip and run around which gave us so much peace of mind and relief with seeing how much fun he had. It was clear that Zuko was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Miguel was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We really appreciated the pictures and updates and would definitely trust them with our dog again. Highly recommend! 5/5.”

Mahalia T.

“My dog, Coco, had an amazing time during her stay! I got multiple pictures and videos daily of her playing with the other dogs. I never had to worry about Coco while we were away on vacation! I hope to be able to rebook with Wylie in the future.”

About: I am new to Richmond and looking to explore with my pup, Rubens. He has a lot of energy and loves to play with other dogs. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. Would love for my dog to have a play mate during the day. Using Rover to keep a routine and explore Richmond while I look for a full time position. I am currently new to Richmond and in between jobs. I walk my dog anywhere from 5-12x a day from 15-75 minutes (depending on weather, need to get out of the house, etc.). My job right now is to enjoy the outdoors with my dog and yours! Rubens and I welcome all other dogs as family! I live in a first floor apt with a small fenced backyard (only for small dogs). There is a hallway that runs from the front door to the back yard area, which is where Rubens likes to do zoomies or be a watch guard dog for the doors. As far as behaviors, Rubens is allowed on my furniture and has a small basket of toys that he shares. Treats are only during training and water is down at all times. We are pretty flexible, but can also set rules per your request to stay on your schedule/routine.

“First time having my dog watched by Zach he did everything I asked of him and more and on top of that was extremely friendly and kind! My dog had an accident or two didn't, cause a issue about it while I was for business I would definitely recommend leaving your dog with him”

“Second time using Dawn. Jackson was super excited for his visit. She was very responsive and sent plenty of updates and pics on how his visit was going. Would definitely recommend.”

Lisa P.

“Nathaniel was amazing with my pup. My dog is very high energy and active — Nathaniel was very attentive and sent pictures and videos! Definitely will book again”

Mya S.

“Pam and Paul went above and beyond to make our Harley comfortable. They sent us numerous updates including pictures and videos. Highly recommend!”

Beverley T.

“Cindy made me so comfortable leaving my dogs at someone else’s home for the first time while I went on a week long vacation. She was flexible with drop off and pickup times. We had a meet and greet to make sure my dogs would get along well with her pets and child also. She sent pics everyday and they were smiling and having fun. Great first Rover experience for my pups. I’ll definitely utilize her services again!”

Mary J.

“Talen is the best, very patient my Cane Corso is very timid and anxious and Talen knew just what to do. You can tell she loves dogs. I will be booking her again, I almost didn't want to write this because I don't want her to get too many customers and we can't user her again. Lol”

SHELLEY R.

“Connor was a great sitter to Kratos & Motley! Responsive and sent pictures. He helped calm them down when the fireworks went off for July 4th as well. We would definitely use him again!”

About: Aloha! I’m Will 👋. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking on and off for the past 5 years, caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Animals are truly my passion, and my main goal is to make sure your paw prince or princess is safe, pampered, and fully cared for whenever you have to step away. Because I focus entirely on on-foot neighborhood walks, personalized house sitting, and drop-in visits, your pet gets 100% of my dedicated time and attention right in the comfort of their own familiar environment. I love keeping pups active with engaging outdoor strolls, and I am equally happy giving plenty of belly rubs and playtime to more relaxed seniors or playful kittens. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I always prioritize open communication. You can expect regular photo and text updates from me during every single visit if that’s what you prefer, so you never have to guess how they are doing. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I am currently pet sitting full-time. My other part-time job is relatively flexible and is only Sunday-Thursday, from 3:30-8:00pm. Otherwise, I have complete control over my calendar. I explicitly designed this schedule to not be away from your fur baby for too long. Whether your pup needs a mid-day energy-busting walk, a morning drop-in, or dedicated overnight company, my schedule is mostly open to fit seamlessly into whatever routine your pet needs to stay happy and comfortable. In My Home & Around the Yard: Since I have a moderately sized, fenced-in yard and my own Bernese Mountain Dog, safety at home is mostly about supervising the fun. I never just let the dogs out back and walk away; I’m always out there watching them play to make sure everyone is sharing toys and getting along safely. Before a new pup ever visits, we’ll do a casual Meet & Greet to make sure our dogs vibe well together. Indoors, I keep my home calm and secure, making sure doors are always locked and any human food or hazards are kept way out of reach. In Your Home & On Walks: If I’m coming to your place, I treat it exactly like I’d want someone to treat mine. I stick strictly to the routine you give me for feeding and care. When we head out for neighborhood walks, I always double-check harnesses and collars before opening the front door to make sure nothing can slip loose. I keep a short, secure grip on the leash and stay entirely focused on the dog—keeping an eye out for hot pavement, heavy traffic, or stray dogs so our walks stay completely stress-free.
