“Riley was amazing! Helped me out on relatively short notice for a few days while I had to be away at work, she took great care of my two sweet, energetic girls and followed all of my instructions and even came over to meet the dogs and get acquainted beforehand! Would highly recommend!”

“Maria and Luis were wonderful with Murphy! They were communicative and easy going. I was nervous, as this was my first time having Murphy walked by a stranger, but feel so comfortable leaving her in their care!!”

“Devinder is super quick to respond to requests, and my dog loves her time with him. He always provides a detailed update about their time together. I highly recommend him for any pet care needs!”

“Emily is a wonderful dog walker! 5+ stars. She does everything for my Minnie and we highly recommend her. She spends time with Minnie even when she is not up to walking (she is old). Emily also puts up with sometimes last minute schedule changes. Always available on chat. Sends great pictures. Minnie loves when she comes by and sits by the door waiting at times for her to walk her. Just all around a great great sitter.”

“Erian is literally amazing!!! I couldn’t be happier with the exceptional dog-sitting services provided. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease entrusting my beloved fur baby in her care. Erian is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. She consistently arrives on time, follows all instructions, and maintains excellent communication throughout the entire pet-sitting period. I never once have worried about my dog when she’s in Erian’s hands. I can’t recommend Erian enough, she’s an outstanding dog sitter who clearly has a passion for dogs! Thank you Erian for taking such good care of Margarita for me while I’m away!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a child and have always loved it! I am unable to have a pet at this time, so spending time with other people’s pets brings me so much joy. I’m hoping to play a part in keeping your pets active, along with myself! I currently work Thursday through Sunday, with some flexibility, depending on the week. I’m available to walk your pups in the morning on any weekday and later in the day Monday through Wednesday I currently cannot have any pets in my home, but am definitely looking to walk the pups through whatever neighborhood you live in. I’ve lived in Richmond for 10 years now and am comfortable walking pretty much anywhere!
About: I’m a professional behavior analyst so it is no challenge at all for me to help with puppies, anxious pets, and bully breeds! All paws are welcome aboard! I manage a behavior analysis practice so I have a fairly flexible schedule! I can help with drop off and pick up if it makes it easier for you even! I have a fully fenced in yard with dog door for free 24/7 access to come and go as pups please! I also have two lovely doggo’s of my own to welcome yours, keep them company and show them the ropes! I can do light training, including crate training.
“There are not enough positive things I can say about Alyssa and her sitting with Little Man. He loved seeing her, which I really appreciated since he is rarely with anyone else. Even my other dog (service dog, who went with me) loved spending time with her. I was having mobility issues, so she also helped with anything else we needed. Went above and beyond, which we really, really appreciated. Thank you, Alyssa, and hope we can see you again soon.”

“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”

“Shelley is so sweet with my pup! Very communicative as well, always leaves a nice note about how the visit went, which makes me feel like my lil guy is in good hands :)”
About: 25 years of experience caring for my own dogs. Friends and neighbors also rely on me to pet sit (includes exercise, play, meals, and meds) I work from home in Church Hill and am able to provide care in the morning, mid day, and evening. I do my best to ensure that they stick to their usual routine. All dogs also get a leashed walk - length and pace depends on their physical condition (older dogs may be more interested in sniffing and strolling while younger pups need to burn more energy). I also provide some playtime inside or outside in a fenced area (if available). Meals and medication are distributed as instructed.
About: I have been taking care of pets professionally for 8 years and have been taking care of my own personal pets for 15 years. I love being outside and I love playing and spending time caring for animals of all kinds. I know some very good walking paths and parks in the area. I have a very flexible schedule and can spend as much time as is needed with the dogs and other animals. I have pet sat for many different kinds of animals and many breeds of dogs. I have experience both pet sitting where I need to stay in the house overnight and pet sitting where I just need to stop by throughout the day. I have a lot of experience dog walking in the area. I have also watched numerous cats and have had cats of my own. I am currently working part time so I have ample daytime and evening availability for pet care most days of the week and over holidays. I follow directions explicitly to ensure the best care for all pets I am watching. I have experience safely walking and playing with pets individually or together.
About: For nearly two decades, I’ve cared for horses, cats, and dogs with patience, consistency, and genuine passion. My five years in a private animal hospital equipped me with medical handling skills, from administering medications to supporting animals with special needs. Whether it’s a trail-savvy horse, an energetic pup, or a shy cat, I make every animal feel safe, understood, and loved. As a full time employee, I am available on a weekday and weekend basis, with the ability to check in before my shift (930 AM), on lunch (flexible), and/or after (6pm). Weekend availability is flexible depending on prior commitments. I operate with caution and will not take risks when caring for your pet. I will navigate their space as instructed and prioritize their comfort and safety first and foremost.

Bethany was absolutely wonderful with my two big guys and has been great with my scheduling and time changes. She handled their size and energy with ease and clear competence; its a relief to know they’re in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again - she has been incredibly communicative, flexible, reliable, and consistent, and I have been very appreciative of her efforts and willingness to go above and beyond!

Sammy is the absolute best! This is the first time we have utilized a dog walking app for our sweet boy and she made us as well as him feel comfortable the entire time. We booked last minute and she was more than happy to accommodate us. We truly could not have asked for a better experience!

We've used Rover a few times previously and Bridgette was the best yet! She was so quick to respond and very flexible with our schedule (even being last minute). Our pup can be a bit vocal and hard to warm up to strangers but he loved Bridgette from the get go and she kept up with his active lifestyle! 11/10 will be reaching out again

I couldn't be happier with the care my pets babies receive from our wonderful sitter. She is incredibly reliable, always showing up when expected and following through on every request with attention and dedication. What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and compassion she shows for my pets—they adore her, and I can see they feel safe and happy in her care. She consistently goes above and beyond, doing everything I ask with great care and responsibility. She's also flexible, which has been a lifesaver more than once when my schedule changed unexpectedly. Most importantly, I trust her completely—both with my beloved pets and in my home. I’m truly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring, and I look forward to a long relationship with her. Highly recommend!
