“Holland was A B S O L U T E L Y wonderful, this was my first Rover experience, and I couldn't be happier. The photos & reviews she gave were detailed and joyful, I can tell my baby was well cared for and enjoyed her time with Holland. I will definitely be using her services again !”

“Thane was great with Rat! They took the time to understand his personality and routine during our meet and greet which put me at ease. I’d definitely hire them again :)”

“Jeffrey is super reliable and responsive. We always feel comfortable heading out of town knowing our three kids are in the best of hands. They have a complicated feeding routine, and Jeffrey handles it like a pro!”

“Susannah was so helpful with watching my puppy even though it was a last minute booking. She was very thoughtful in cleaning up a mess my dog made in the hallway of my apartment building as well!”

“Rachel is fantastic, personality and professional ! My cats love her. I would love to use Rachel every time, and I hope she’s available when I could use a sitter again. You’re Great Rachel!! Novalee”

“Catherine's check-ins were wonderful. She was extra communicative and shared lots of pictures. She made me feel comfortable and know that King was well taken care of.”

“Margaret was very easy to work with and great with our 3 dogs while we were away. She sent us some great photos of them all together and getting snuggles. The additional tasks we requested were also taken care of; pulling out trash/recycling and collecting packages from our porch.”

“Rachel is so kind and thoughtful with my River. He is usually a little standoffish with new people (even me sometimes!), but he took to Rachel almost immediately. She takes great walks with him, and great pictures of my little guy when the go on their adventures. I highly recommend Rachel as a dog walker/sitter/anything.”

“Thanks so much! Kirby was on time and so great with the puppy! Such a relief knowing that our puppy is getting such great attention from someone we can trust!”

About: I've grown up with lots of dogs in my house, and I've been sitting for over 6 years. From French Basset Hounds to Great Danes, I love taking care of dogs!! I am a 21 year old college student at VCU. As of right now, I have classes and club swim taking up my schedule, but I am available to walk and let out dogs during the week/weekend. I follow whatever instructions the owners give me. I always make sure the dogs I am looking after feel safe. Dogs have great emotional awareness, and my goal is to establish a sense of trust with the animal.
“Kade took such diligent care of my pets! They were always punctual and followed all of my instructions. My dog is very shy/nervous, but Kade got her to open up and be her sweet silly self in no time, which made me feel much more comfortable being away from home. I will definitely be using Kade’s services in the future!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Brenna was an outstanding cat sitter for me. Very communicative, clearly loves animals, and overall just great! My little guy was pretty nervous and Brenna offered to make an extra visit to keep him company. She was willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommend”
“Kallie was a great sitter. She was able to connect quickly with me when I had to go out of town last minute. Ragnar was well taken care of. Would recommend her to folks looking for a pet sitter and would use her again.”


“Anna continues to be a reliable and patient professional with my dog! I’m so grateful I can work my 10+ hour shift without worrying about him at home knowing that Anna is dropping in to walk and care for him. Thanks, Anna!!”

“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!”

“When I met Lila prior to starting I knew she would be a great fit for our girl with her sweet, calm demeanor. We had Lila visit our older Terrier Harriet twice a day for exercise and loves and medicine over a long weekend. Lila did a wonderful job of keeping us informed in detail through the app real time of all their activities. With the addition of photos, it gave us tremendous peace of mind so we could enjoy our trip, knowing our fur baby was happy and in good hands! We'll definitely be using Lila again!”


“Lindsey came through with a last minute request and she always takes care my little ones! She makes my life and job so much easier when I have last minute trips!”
