Brittney R.

“Lila was great checking in on our doggies! She was easy to communicate with, available with just a few days notice, and went with the flow when we had a TON going on. :) I loved her communication and detailed write-ups with plenty of pictures from each drop in. I’d recommend Lila and rebook her in a heartbeat! Thanks for loving our doggies, Lila!”

Alyssa H.

“Highly recommend Elizabeth! She was great with Huey and sent me updates and photos everyday :) Huey was so happy when I came home, and I know that's because he had a great time with his new friend, haha! Would use her again, for sure.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Jeffrey. He took such great care of our diabetic cat so we could rest easy on vacation.”

Laura v.

“Thane was so great with my slightly psychotic and very special needs dog (old and with a bite history). They were so patient with my dog's stubbornness and various quirks and also successfully managed my cats, who are always trying to get out the door. There were no issues and I really believe it was the best possible experience for all my pets.”

Julie S.

“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”

Coby H.

“Sophie did an amazing job with Pepper! Pepper is a people lover dog and can come off very intense. Sophie was kinda to my dog and I could tell by the way Pepper acted when I came home. Sophie was flexible, communicated well, took photos, did all that i asked when it came to Peppers needs, and gave great notes throughout her time with Pepper. I really appreciate you Sophie for checking in on my pup while i was gone and showing her love! I would highly recommend you to anyone. Once again thank you☺️”

Julie G.

“Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!”

Marissa T.

“Cat is an amazing sitter! She takes great care of my puppy and is very accommodating with her times. She is reliable and best buds with my little puppy girl. A must book if you’re looking for somebody to treat your dog like you would!”

Joe M.

“Kristen was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of the country for about 2 weeks. We will definitely connect with her for any future needs as well.”

Alli P.

“I’m never using anyone else! Tyler has a genuine love and passion for animals that shows in her visits and when she hosts. You won’t just get pictures of your dog playing in backyard - she actually spends time with your pup”

Andrew B.

“So helpful with my baby kitties. I love that she takes lots of pictures. It shows me what a good job she’s doing. Went above and beyond to help me secure my place while I’m out of town. So grateful!”

Mary K.

“Abby is awesome! She took great care of our “senior” orange tabby 😽 We got great updates and photos every visit and felt great knowing our boy was in such good hands. Thank you such Abby!”

S M.

“We reached out to Jessica, because she seemed like a fit for our elderly dog with high medical needs. She was warm, accommodating, and she would have been the perfect fit had our dog not passed away before she could begin providing him care. She had not previously injected a dog, but she was a trooper - coming over for a visit, and gave Ricky insulin with ease. I also felt safe giving her a key to my home. I have already told my best friend (who has three dogs) about her, and while we are heartbroken by the circumstances, we remain hopeful we will encounter her through our dog loving friends who consistently need the kind of support I am confident she provides. Thank you again, Jessica.”

Liz J.

“Rachel is simply amazing. I love the way she is gentle with my pups and is punctual. I trust her in my home and feel safe with her caring for my pups. They love Rachel H. She is the best.”

Kim M.

“Lindsey came through for me on short notice and was a lifesaver over the holidays. She cared for my two cats daily and she was very communicative all week. I will definitely rebook next time I go out of town.”

About: Hey , I am now just coming back to rover after 11 years ago when I first started my account. I have watched many of my friends pets in the past years. I still love doing so. I now live in Richmond and I am in nursing school currently. I would love to use my free time from studying / working. Making some extra money and making new friends potentially! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have 2 jobs currently but every weekend I am able to baby sit, board, and ect. If I’m available on the week days I can communicate that I care for pets the same as I care for my dogs. I don’t have them living with me for the next two years while I’m in Richmond. But I take my babies everywhere with me parks, beaches, and stores ( if allowed )

About: I'm officially back and excited to work with new clients! What really sets me apart is my genuine love for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Through my volunteer work with rescue organizations, humane societies, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, I've learned to connect with pets who might be shy, anxious, or just need a little extra patience. I'm especially comfortable with senior pet care (thanks to my own elderly cats), medication administration, and working with special needs animals. My late staffie rescue taught me that the most misunderstood dogs often make the most loyal companions, so I have a real soft spot for bully breeds and "difficult" cases. I've also got experience with puppy energy management – I can tire out even the most determined zoomie sessions! Friends joke that I'm a "cat whisperer," though I'll admit one particularly stubborn feline took me 15 years to win over. Whether your pet needs gentle senior care, high-energy adventures, or just someone who won't blink at their quirky habits, I'm here for it. No creature is too unusual – I've cared for everything from traditional pets to more exotic companions! After leaving academia to pursue my passion for writing and art, I've discovered the joy of a flexible schedule. I spend most of my time outdoors anyway (turns out fresh air is much better for creativity than stuffy lecture halls), so having some four-legged companions along for the adventure sounds like a no-brainer. Plus, I've learned that pet adventures are the perfect antidote to writer's block. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with administering medications, maintaining routines, and reading those subtle pet signals that tell you when something's not quite right. My own little crew includes two senior cats (14 and 17) and a wonderfully patient yellow lab who's basically a gentleman and a scholar. One of my cats has special needs, so I'm comfortable with medical care and know how important consistency is for our furry family members.
