Dayton was great! We had a last minute trip and thankfully she was available and responded to our request quickly. Our dogs loved her and even our shy cat. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone and replied to our messages right away. We felt very comfortable leaving all our pets with her. She asked questions about their care and was very genuine and friendly. We would and hopefully will work with her again!

Hayden was a wonderful house sitter! He showed so much love to our greyhound and communicated well while we were out of town. He sent us pictures, too! We will most definitely call on Hayden in the future. Highly recommend!

Nina stayed at our house for 8 days. She cares for our three dogs and cat. Our little frenchie has been a struggle to house train and Nina was able to provide me with great support. She texted me on a daily basis and sent photos to me. I missed my babies but was able to enjoy my vacation because of the amazing care she gave them. I will hire her again in the future with no hesitation. Amazing person to care for your pets.

Toni was amazing! She has such a calm disposition and I could tell within in a few minutes of meeting her that my animals would be in the best care! She sent me pictures and texts to reassure me (as this was the first time leaving my fur babies) that everything was good and animals were doing great. I would highly recommend her services. She treats your animals like they are her own and that is extremely refreshing.

Jimmy was fantastic! Our dog is nervous when first meeting people and Jimmy was patient and friendly! He took great care of our pets and house and I’m so grateful he was available for our last minute request. He sent us pics and updates regularly. 10/10 would book again! Thank you, Jimmy!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a lil thang, I’ve always had such a soft spot for them & my passion is to become a dog trainer ! I’m always going to make time if I know a dog needs it, & I am super weird about people around my dog so I want to make sure that you’re dog is more than comfortable. Well I’m always going to have the dog in my sight, but if the area is not fenced in & the dog doesn’t have the best recall, leash it is!

Riley took excellent care of my 3 senior dogs, all 3 on meds, including 1 that is diabetic and needed blood glucose monitoring and insulin shots. I was thrilled to find someone with experience with diabetes. Thanks Riley!

About: Friendly sitter with experience with senior pups, cats and chickens. I currently have two wonderful dogs and a handful of chickens. One of our dogs is what we believe is a Foxhound and the other is a Shepherd mix. Both are rescues so we are not sure. I also have experience with cats, parrots (green crowned conure) and various farm animals. Update: I no longer work from home. I am now in Richmond M-F, 8-5. I am happy to stop by during my lunch break to check on your babies in the city. Any other surrounding areas would have to be weekends and not during work hours. Apologies for any inconvenience! I am happy to stop by your home and care for your pets. One of my pups is reactive and we do not want to make her (or your baby) uncomfortable by bringing other pets into our space.

This was our first time with Rover, and I could not have asked for a better sitter for our dogs and house. Rochelle made a real and true bond with our two dogs. She made a personal connection with our pups. I want to emphasize that she really cared. Rochelle sent us daily pictures and videos that brought so many smiles to our faces while we were away. Her care took away our separation anxieties. This allowed to relax and enjoy our trip rather worry about how things were at home. If I could give Rochelle more than 5 stars, I would do that.

About: I have experience caring for all age ranges of cats and dogs. I have 3 years of animal welfare experience previously working in a shelter and i have always naturally been a huge animals lover. I have the ability to read animals body language really well. I connect quickly with every animal I meet! I have experience with different kinds of energy levels as well. If your dog needs a hike and does well in the car; I’m your gal!!, If they just need cuddles while we binge a tv show I can do that too! I have experience with bunnies, chickens and birds too!! I have a 3 year old dog named Ace who came to me as a puppy. I raised him and have trained him to be off leash, sit, stay, paw, and heel. (Basic commands) if you need assistance or would like for me to work with your dog in any training/ socializing way please reach out! Currently available anytime! Would love to have the ability to work with your animals and still have the time to give my animals the loving they deserve as well! I walk my dog every chance I get while working on any minor behavioral or fear based problems to insure my baby can live a full healthy happy life.

About: Premium, Personalized Dog Care — Where Your Dog Feels Right at Home With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for breeds like German Shepherds, Dobermans, Coon Hounds, and Pomeranians, I’ve built my life around understanding and supporting the needs of dogs. Today, I live on a spacious, fully fenced one-acre property with two friendly pups of my own — the perfect place for your dog to run, play, and feel safe. I work from home, so your pup gets round-the-clock care and supervision. Whether they need extra attention, medication, a quiet nap zone, or just lots of play and snuggles, I’m here 24/7 to ensure they feel like they never left home. Unlike high-volume sitters, I don’t pack in multiple dogs just to fill a schedule. I limit the number of pets I care for so I can provide focused, high-quality attention to each dog. No crates unless you request it. No chaos. Just personalized, loving care in a calm and safe home. There are no children in my household — just a peaceful environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether your dog needs open space to play, structure, or quiet time, I adjust to their routine and personality. My rates reflect the premium, one-on-one care I provide — not just a service, but a home-away-from-home experience for your dog. If you're looking for attentive, professional, and trustworthy care from someone who treats your dog like their own, you’ve found it. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full-time, which allows me to be fully present and attentive throughout the day. My dogs are part of my life, not just my schedule — and the same goes for any pet I care for. I build my day around walks, enrichment activities, playtime, and quiet moments, making sure each dog gets the stimulation and comfort they need. Rover isn't just a side gig for me — it’s something I genuinely care about. I love being able to share my time and home with other pets, giving them the same level of love and attention I give to my own. In my home, your pet will be treated like one of the family. I have a fully fenced one-acre yard for safe, supervised outdoor play, and two small, friendly dogs to provide companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. I ensure 24/7 access to fresh drinking water, regular bathroom breaks, and a calm, cozy indoor environment where your dog can relax freely — crated only if you prefer. I follow your care instructions closely, including administering any medications as prescribed. Whether it’s maintaining their feeding schedule, providing playtime, or offering extra snuggles, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved — just like they would at home.

Chelsea D. Was super easy to talk to. She offered a meet and greet. That was perfect, she spent time to get to know the doggies and their needs. She arrived early on the day she set for our fur babies, that relieved us from stress. She’s a natural with pets with separation anxiety! When we arrived back home our one lil man that has separation anxiety showed no signs of stress, that was so comforting to us. The other two were very happy also. Looks like all 3 have a new friend. We will most definitely use Chelsea D. again! Thank you for sitting our babies!

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!

We missed our dogs terribly while away on vacation, but never once were we worried about how they were at home. Carson kept us updated with daily pictures or notes about how they were doing. It was clear how much they immediately took to him and how happy they were with him around. And on top of that, he took some incredible action shots of our dog flipping for the frisbee, which he threw for her each day the sun was shining. We are extremely grateful for the wonderful care Carson gave our dogs and the peace of mind he gave us while traveling. Absolutely recommend him and will hopefully work with him again in the future!

We thoroughly appreciate the care Heather gave our dog while we’re gone. We live far out and have some peculiar rules but Heather was a complete professional. She communicated on a high level and followed everything to a T. Our dog was well cared for and happy upon our return. He has some anxiety and she handled everything professionally and with love. You can tell she enjoys what she does. We will use her again!

About: I have been blessed to grow up with a variety of animals in and around my home. I’ve had a variety of dogs that have ranged from 12lbs to 200lbs. I’ve also had cats in the home, as well. I have taken care of the basics of feeding them, giving clean water (daily), maintaining the litter box (as needed) and even giving insulin injections (to both felines and dogs). I’ve trained many of my larger breed dogs and my service dog. Bathing, feeding, walking and not just for my pets, but also friends & family. Since my sweet Bella (pictured) passed I actually have a 20lb Boston Terrier, named Lucy, now. I also live on a farm where we have 3 miniature horses and one thoroughbred big boy. I’m very flexible in my schedule and if I was needed to stay for extended periods of time, my animals would be taken care of. I’ve been on medical disability for 4 1/2yrs now. Other than my appointments I have throughout the week, my only other commitment is the upkeep of my home and taking care of my animals. I would not be bringing clients pets to my home, as it’s a spacious and fenced in yard; however, we have one dog who doesn’t play well with others. In a client’s home, unless asked by the owner, the only thing I would remove from the home (temporarily), would be the pet. I’m very cautious with another’s fur baby; so, I would treat it as my own with love, snuggles and a gentle touch. I’m always aware of my surroundings, especially with something so precious, to another. I’ve always been described as very trustworthy and compassionate, with people, as well as, with their animals. Pampering and maintaining a secure environment for your animal(s), no matter the type or the amount you may have. This way, you know that one of your family members is in the best hands possible while you take a vacation for your own self-care.
