“Mark was incredible…he did overnight stays with our 11 year old blind, deaf pup without any hesitation. He is a great communicator and left the house in perfect condition. As this was a new arrangement, he asked questions to make sure something wasn’t out of the ordinary for our extraordinary pup, which I appreciate as he has truly had only 1 sitter in nearly 11 years! I cannot recommend him enough and we are actively booking out the rest of the year with him!”

“Marissa was kind, communicative, calm, and flexible. My flight home got cancelled and I had to rebook my return trip a day later. Marissa immediately agreed to extend her services when I told her what was going on. When I (finally) made it home, Peaty was happy and well-cared for and my apartment was pristine. Would work with Marissa again in a heartbeat!”

“Mallory was wonderful watching our dogs at our house for the weekend. She handled our two (sometimes troublesome) pups very well and with no complaints, even when one got a little sick. She was communicative throughout the entire process and shared lots of pictures and updates during her stay to make us feel more comfortable and show us they were happy and well loved. She took excellent care of our house as well. Thank you!”


“Emily was great! This was my first experience with Rover and I couldn’t have picked a better person. She was great with my puppy Lola and kept me updated during my whole work trip. She was trustworthy and really just made the whole experience so easy. My Lola was so happy when I got home and looked very well taken care of. Thank you Emily!”
“Emily did a fantastic job with my nervous, old pup. He can be finicky but he warmed up to her quickly! She took wonderful care of our house as well and left it in great shape. Highly recommend Emily and we will definitely book with her again!”

“From now on Thane will be the only Rover that I ask to stay with Kipper. She was attentive, communicative, fully engaged, and addressed all of my concerns, needs, and questions. And Kipper loved her.”

“Helena was everything we hoped for in a dog and house sitter. I appreciate so much all of the photos, the detailed updates on their time together, and how proactive Helena was with communicating. We cannot wait to be her repeat clients. If you want someone that you can trust that your dog will quickly be obsessed with, look no further. Seriously, thank you so much, Helena!”

“Sarah was very attentive with Luna and she gave consistent updates. She was able to take the booking last minute and I am so appreciative that Luna received the same care she gets when I’m home. I look forward to having an opportunity to book with Sarah again in the future”
“We are writing to formally commend Nina for her outstanding care and professionalism she provided for looking after our home and furry family members during our recent vacation. Throughout the duration of our absence, Nina demonstrated exceptional responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail. She kept us updated daily, including adorable photos that reassured us that our fury family members were happy and well-cared for. Not only were our pets given the best of care, our house was in pristine condition when we got home. Nina is a kind and gentle soul and it shows in her love for animals. We wholeheartedly endorse Nina for any house sitting and pet care. We have already recommended her to our neighbor.”

“Alex did a great job with our 2 pups. He took detailed notes at our meet and greet and followed their feeding and walking schedules carefully. Great communication and pics so we knew they were receiving good care. We’ve already booked Alex for our next time away”

“Our 2 dogs loved Alex from the moment they saw her. We left them for 6 days and Alex stayed with them night and day. They were so relaxed & healthy upon our return. Our neighbors reported that every time they saw the dogs, they were their normal happy selves. Our house was as clean as we had left it. We will definitely use Alex again.”

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”

“Joe was amazing with our dogs! Every day I had updates with photos and videos and overall messages about their day and how they were doing. He was so attentive with them. In the past I have always worried every day I was gone from them and could never enjoy myself on vacation and I did not feel that way when he was watching my babies. I couldn’t recommend him enough and will definitely make him a number one choice when we need a sitter again! Thanks Joe!”

“We were very happy with the care our dogs received from Mikella. Mikella was professional, responsive, and generally invested in making sure my dogs felt comfortable and had attention. I received regular updates photos and messages that gave me total piece of mine while I was away.”

Makenzie is the best and did such a great job with my 9 year old high energy shepherd mutt! She was super responsive, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of our house. We hired her two weekends in a row and will definitely call her again for future dogsitting needs.

Mallory was the best choice for our pets! Having two dogs and two cats, it’s not always easy to find the right person to take care of them and we are new to Richmond. She spent the night wit them, making them feel comfortable and keeping us posted via texts and pictures. Our pets loved her, had no issues and she was respectful of our home. She also met us a couple times before the actual stay so that one of our dogs could get familiar with her. Couldn’t recommend her enough, you can tell she actually enjoys spending time with them and cares for their well-being!

Nina was absolutely wonderful at caring for my pups while I was away for work. They got to keep their general routine and her photos showed me they were up to their favorite things—walks, snoozing, getting pets. I loved the updates I got and would be lucky to book Nina again!

I adopted Gobi in May and this was our first time away from him. Emily was super great and from her updates it seems like Gobi had a great time! I was so worried that he was going to be naughty or difficult, but she made it seem really easy. I am so glad we found her and got peace of mind during our trip. I can’t thank you enough!

DJ was absolutely wonderful! In the face of some extenuating circumstances he took great care of our pup. We’ll definitely be keeping him in mind for any future sittings as he was prompt with replies and sent so many updates allowing us to enjoy our vacation with very little worry!

We could not have asked for a better house-sitting experience than with Ellie. Her communication was top-notch before, during, and after her stay which gave us peace of mind when leaving our senior kitty with health issues and our dog, who gets nervous whenever we're gone overnight. Lots of pictures and updates. She also did a wonderful job keeping our house in order, which is much appreciated when coming home after several days away. If we need pet sitting again, Ellie will definitely be at the top of the list. We highly recommend her!

I had my catsitting plans fall through the day before my trip(!) and contacted Angela here on Rover. Angela was able to come visit my apartment and meet the cats day-of. As soon as I met her I knew my two cats were in great hands. She sent me lots of photos and updates while I was gone, followed my care instructions perfectly, and left my apartment cleaner than she found it. I highly recommend Angela's housesitting services and would be glad to have her watch my cats in the future.

Celeste was great with our menagerie of somewhat quirky animals. We were out of cell service for the majority of our booking, but I appreciated coming back to pictures and happy animals. They were respectful if the space. Would definitely recommend and book again!
