“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars – Above and Beyond! Christine was an absolute gem! Our dog Jadis had been struggling with motivation and didn’t want to get up or go outside for our regular sitter—but with Christine? Total 180. She got up, played, and was clearly happy and comfortable in her care. Christine was super attentive, sent tons of thoughtful updates, and even snapped adorable photos of our cats even though they weren’t part of the job! That extra care meant the world to us while we were away. Reliable, caring, and clearly an animal whisperer—Christine is the kind of sitter you hope to find on Rover. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind and happy pets while they’re gone!”


“I recently hired LaShell as a dog sitter, and I couldn't be more pleased! She showed genuine care for my dog, LaShell engaged my pup with fun activities and ensured Puggo returned home happy. Her flexibility and professionalism were impressive. I highly recommend LaShell for anyone seeking a reliable and loving dog sitter!”


“Abby M. came and checked on my pets when we had a family emergency. She has watched over our pets many times, but she really went above and beyond today! I can't thank her enough!”


“I’m always so thankful for Abigail’s help with my puppy! It’s so comforting to know someone is giving her love and attention. I would highly recommend Abigail!!!”


“Crystal cared for my two cats and kindly brought in my mail and packages. It was like having a trusty neighbor and a professional pet caretaker rolled into one. Highly recommend for a worry-free experience!”


“First time meeting Lisa for a drop in visit with our dogs and she is great . Asked great questions regarding dog care and she interacted well with my dogs . Would use her again !”


About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals! I had plenty as a kid and was always helping family members with them. I take pride in training puppies and young dogs, even though I’m not a professional trainer, I know a few tricks! Pet care is what I do full time, I’m always available and I feel like they can use all the attention and loves when their parents aren’t home! I have a daughter who enjoys being with the fur babies as much as I do! I make sure I am easy going and trusting when approaching a pup that has never met me. They’re just like us! I am a very loving and nurturing person, I plan to be someone your fur babies look forward to seeing!

“Jammie was absolutely fantastic! I had a family emergency where I had to fly out internationally ASAP. I did not realize I could not keep in contact with her prior leaving through the ROVER app. Luckily we were able to find a work around, and she accommodated me with ease. I could not of been happier, as this was my first time ever using such a program for dog sitting. Will definitely be using her services again in the future! Highly recommend!”


About: I have a current access card for the base. I have lots of experience with all breeds of dogs from a young age. I was involved in a local 4-H program starting in grade school, and am a current Berner mama. Puppies are also not a problem! I am currently staying home with my kids, and working remotely online, so my schedule is quite open. I am available consistently throughout the week. I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort by ensuring a secure environment, following all care instructions, and keeping a watchful eye during visits. Your pet's happiness and well-being come first.

“Brenda cared for our cats as if they were her own! She was super friendly, offered meet and greets with our babies, and was responsive to communication! We look forward to booking with her again soon!”


“Best experience! She was amazing, patient, and caring! I will definitely book again, and recommend her to my friends! My cats had never been clipped, and they were skittish, but she helped calm them, and get the job done. No issues, they act as if nothing happened! Wonderful experience!”


“I traveled for a full week and needed someone I could trust to take care of Cat. I've booked Emily before and she is attentive, communicative, and overall a great sitter. Highly recommend!!!”


“Amanda was absolutely amazing. She was given really short notice but was an absolute life saver. Will definitely use her services more this summer! Thank you Amanda!!!!”


About: Hi- I'm Rikki.. I’ve delivered eight puppies (call me the canine midwife with a sparkle), given shots, and pamper animals with holistic care that leaves them feeling squeaky clean and zen. Doggy CPR certified—because when tails stop wagging, I’m the lifesaver ready to jump in with treats, belly rubs, and sudsy superpowers. Pearl's Palace is like a dog "spa" surrounded by friendly neighbors & their furry companions. A Typical Day at Pearl’s Palace From the moment your pup arrives, they’re welcomed like family. Mornings often start with a friendly sniff-and-greet, followed by some outdoor play or a stroll around the neighborhood to stretch those legs. If the weather’s nice, supervised pool time keeps things exciting (and doubles as a workout). Midday brings rest in a shaded spot or inside the home, with fresh water always available. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy a mix of play, cuddle breaks, and light grooming—nail checks, brushing, or a spritz of my handmade lavender-infused conditioner for relaxation and bug protection. Afternoon activities may include fetch, enrichment games, or lounging by the pool while soaking up the sun. Evening winds down with a final potty break, gentle pets, and plenty of praise before pick-up or bedtime, so your dog heads home happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little spoiled. I have a tall privacy fence and a Great Dane to keep your pets company. Walks are regular and so is meeting new dog friends. Instructions for in-home care are followed as specified below.

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs my entire 28 years of life! As the youngest of 3, it was always up to me to walk, feed, and train the dogs. I currently have a 5 year old pit/pointer mix and a dachshund mix under a year old! We love going for walks at the river or visiting the dog park in Chester! My wife and I also have 2 cats, meaning our dogs are very active friendly! We love all animals, shape and sizes! We reside in Colonial Heights and have a relatively decent sized fenced in back yard! Our cats are spoiled and have a dedicated room where they can come and go as they please, no dogs allowed! We also have a spare room to accommodate any dogs that may need to be separate for any reasons. Safety is very important to me! In my car I have multiple doggy seatbelts and harnesses dedicated for riding. I look forward to showing your dog or cat to the Daisey Does It way! I truly care for anyone’s pets as my own. I currently work part time while attending part time classes at Brightpoint Community College. I’m home except for a few early mornings, so my availability is pretty open. I can walk dogs or do home visits throughout the day or night. I can also board a dog(s) on most nights throughout the week. I have a relatively large fenced in yard with lots of doggy toys! My wife and I have 2 dogs that love meeting new friends to play with! We also have two cats, they have always been around dogs. We treat all animals as our own. We believe animals are better than people, haha! Our pets are our children, they are allowed on the furniture, and sleep with us as well. We can crate your animal if needed and have a spare room if you’d like your animal separated for any reasons. Our dogs are trained for off leash hikes, but we do walk them around the neighborhood as well. I’d love to take your fur baby to the local river trails even to run off leash in my backyard!

About: I've had pets my whole life from the biggest of dogs to cutest of cats. I'm a very active mom, and fitness lover that could always use a furry partner. 🐕🦺🐈 I'm currently working mornings 7am-3pm, so anytime before 6 am or after 4pm drop off works best for me. I have a back yard as well as 1 lovely cat that usually doesnt mind other cats or dogs being around. My home is clean warm and inviting to all animals. Hooray! As a mom pet care fits into my schedule perfectly. My kids have a lot of fun with all animals that come to our home. I currently moved into a smaller place but my 6 year old son and a young wild & free 3 year old son, who can't get enough of the running he gets to do during my sits.

“Caleb was great and we highly recommend him! He did a great job taking care of our cat and went above and beyond. He was also very responsive whenever we had a question. A great pet sitter to have!”

Trinity is awesome. She took care of my babies while I was on vacation for a week. She was on time and made sure they were well taken care of. Duke and Mustard love her. We had a tragedy while I was gone and she stepped in without hesitation and helped out with my Duke. I was so thankful and grateful that I was able to find her on the River app. I will definitely book her through Rover from now on.
