“Jessica was great! Followed all instructions we left, was communicative, and took lots of pics. I appreciate her hanging out with my pup. Will be using her services again. 10/10. :)”


“Arin was awesome. This was our first time leaving Penny with a Rover. Arin was punctual and took care of Penny as discussed. Arin was very communicative and provided great photos of her visits with Penny. Penny seemed happy and content upon our return home. I will definitely use Arin again.”


“Kyla was so great for drop-in visits this past week! She's very sweet and my normally shy cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She had great communication with the daily updates and pictures :) no notes, and will definitely see if she's available to book again next time I'm out of town. Thanks again, Kyla!”


“This was our first time having Jeffrey do drop ins for our three wild kids and he was AMAZING! Great communication, super professional, loved on our doggos just like we would!”


“Elizabeth is so great with my dog! She is very responsive, friendly, and I knew he was in good hands. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future :)”


“Rachel was wonderful with my pups. I appreciate her gentleness with my shy pups. They loved being around her. I felt safe with Rachel being in my home and caring for my pups.”


“Jordan was incredibly communicative and went above and beyond during her visits. She spent time with our anxious pup and worked on making sure she got mental stimulation at each visit. We feel very lucky to have “found” her.”


“Aparna was consistent, on time and always communicative. She took great care of our one senior dog and 2 cats and made sure she spent the designated time attending to their needs and caring for them.”


“Erin was great with our dogs and very attentive to their needs. We have 2 dogs, 1 old and the other is crazy, she handled both with ease. We’d request her again and recommend her services!”


“Kay took excellent care of my 2 cats and my outdoor tomato plants while I was away for a long weekend. Cats were chill and happy upon my return. Kay communicated with me frequently and quickly. I didn't feel like I had to worry about anything while I was away.”


About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my own golden retriever, Sunny, since he was a puppy. Sunny is now 5 years old, well-behaved, and friendly with other pets. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment for dogs of all temperaments. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I walk Sunny twice daily—morning and evening—and love spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. I live in a one-level ranch-style home with a fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly. Sunny is gentle and social, making him a great companion for visiting pets. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their comfort and safety.

About: When in the care of my partner and I, pets are enriched and have plenty of opportunity for activity. If your dog enjoys swimming, I can take them to a nearby creek to play. I have a large yard for playing fetch, or just hanging out, and a spunky lab mix that is happy to play tug-o-war. I've always had dogs and cats, and for a short time, pet rats (they're lovely!). I come from a long line of animal lovers and continue that legacy. You can check out my pets’ Instagram at @mystic_whiskers_ I am very attentive to animals and put them at ease so they settle into their home away from home. I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, so I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times unless otherwise communicated. I am in RVA most weekends as well. I have a fenced backyard and a dog and 2 cats. The cats have been around other dogs, and Eddy the dog loves other dogs- he has lots of energy to share!


“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”


“Le’Yana has twice provided excellent care for our animals. She is communicative and reliable. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for quality petcare!”


“This was our first Rover experience and Virginia was a perfectly wonderful pet sitter for our cat, Fergus. She came by to meet him ahead of time, sent lots of photos and videos while we were away and, above all, made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her pet-loving hands. We would recommend Virginia highly and hope to find the opportunity to have her help again soon!”


About: As an adoring mother to my dog and 2 cats whose pets are her prized angels and actual children, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are being well taken care of. I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life and also volunteer at the SPCA in my spare time so I have experience with a wide range of care needs, temperaments, sizes, and energy levels of different cats and dogs! I am currently available all day on sundays mondays and tuesdays for walks and drop in’s, play time or chill time, whatever your pet needs :) I am super committed to treating your pet with the same love and care that I would my own, whether I’m just dropping in for a little play time or taking them for a long walk :)

About: I'm Recently retired, I've owned and cared for pets most of my natural life. From house training to hospice care, I've lived thru it all. Freshly retired, I've got lots of free time to care for your pets. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your awesomely precious pet! I have a large fenced in yard and one very friendly mini- Dachshund. I consider pets to be family members, and always treat them as such.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years — not just as a sitter, but as a lifelong animal person. I live with two cats and two dogs (aka my little chaos crew), and I’ve been through it all: administering meds, soothing anxious pups, helping senior pets feel safe and loved, and even caring for a dog with epilepsy. I know how to read their body language, honor their boundaries, and make every visit feel like a familiar, comforting ritual. I also rescue animals when I see them in need — whether that’s coaxing a stray into safety, getting them vet care, or helping them find their forever home. I don’t just like animals — I see them, respect them, and care deeply about their safety, happiness, and autonomy. When your pet is with me, they’re not just getting fed and walked. They’re getting a friend, an advocate, and someone who truly gets them. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility. I would prefer long standing customers with at least one weekly walk to stay on my schedule. I do have a fenced in yard we could use for play. Though I would prefer to take dogs for walks in their neighborhoods or at the river. I am happy to play fetch, tug, go on long hikes, or take short strolls. Each animal must have their collar on with their owner's information.

Piper G.

“Needed someone to do drop in visits in a pinch and Piper came through big time! Lola loves her and she is always very comunicative! Definitely would recommend 👍🏻”


Timothy G.
“Tim is truly a dog whisperer. He even got my sister's mean old dachshund to plop down at his side and offer up a few kisses. Everyone was amazed! My Rottweiler is friendly with friends and family but reactive with strange men and dogs, so I don't trust just anyone to handle him. Tim does a great job keeping him under control on their walks even with my older girl riding along in her stroller!”


Caitlin T.

“Caitlin cares so much for every dog in her life. She is a dedicated dog mother and advocate for aggressive dog breeds. She's energetic and caring. She has taken great care of my dogs and would recommend her service to everyone.”
