House Sitting in Dabneys

“I was nervous about using Rover, but Morgan quickly put my mind at ease. Morgan was very friendly, took the time to answer all our questions, was very respectful and professional. Our dog, Sam, is a high energy dog with anxiety issues and Morgan is well-qualified to handle Sam’s needs. She related well to Sam from the get-go and Sam responded to her affectionately from the start. We were able to enjoy an evening out worry-free. Morgan updated us throughout the evening. We have complete confidence in Morgan and look forward to using her services in the future. We would highly recommend Morgan! Thank you Morgan for being a part of Rover! Craig and Sue B.”

“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!”

About: I have five years of professional dog care in many different spheres. I have previously managed two different kennels, groomed many dogs around Richmond, and am K9-CPR certified. I have experience training puppies, adults, and seniors basic obedience, leash manners, and beginner agility. I am well versed in administering medications. Prior to working with dogs as a career, I have experience caring for many dogs over my life, from family pets to petsitting in the neighborhood. I am happy to provide enrichment activities for your animal as well, such as bubble play, doga (dog yoga), or drives to hiking locations. I am committed to being completely available for any of your pet needs! My main focus is comfortable care for your critter, no matter how early or late that may be. I feel that years of experience in caring for animals who are being boarded, hanging out at daycare, or getting a stylish spa day have taught me so much in how to interact and build trust with many animals no matter the situation. I believe a combination of patience, kindness, intuition, and some snackos can really foster a safe, positive environment for everybody.

“Wesley was amazing. Kept in contact with us. Took amazing care of our pups. Let us know if any issues. She even got my little old pup to cuddle and that is rare. He really doesn’t like many people! She was amazing and we plan to use her again and again!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for years, and I'm absolutely ecstatic to meet you and your furry friend! I started out by accompanying my mom on her Rover assignments while in school. We also welcomed Trixie to the family, a 3-year-old mini petite Goldendoodle with a taste for blueberries. Now that I've moved cities, I'm interested in helping others with their furry loved ones. I'm a remote worker, so my flexibility is unmatched. I also enjoy outdoor and active activities, especially when the weather's nice. Thanks for your consideration! I'm a full-time employee for a remote-based, nonprofit news organization, and I'm based in Richmond, VA. I work an early shift (7am-3pm EST), but I have flexibility all day long. Pets under my care have access to a furry-tastic care kit, which includes a water bottle and bowl, snacks, toys, peanut butter and more. Please reach out with any other meeds - I'll be happy to grab them!

“Shula and Samuel watched our two hooligans while we were out of town for a long weekend. They went above and beyond again! They took great care of the house and most importantly, we came home to two happy and healthy doggos. My family and I cannot say enough great things about them!”

Matthew D.

“Heidi was absolutely fantastic! Our two pups loved her. Our older dog usually struggles when we’re out of town but with Heidi, our dog did so well! We’ll definitely try to book with Heidi again in the future.”

Caroline M.

“Janie went above and beyond! She watched my two high maintenance Frenchies and kept them happy. She was great with communication and updates. She also came by for a meet and greet before our vacation. I hesitate selfishly to highly recommend her in the case she gets so booked and might not be available when we need her next time!! She is the best. She gave our older dog medication daily and was also mindful of the heat when taking the dogs out and spent lots of time making sure they got snuggled and didn't miss us too badly. The house was also kept very clean ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 !!”

About: Hi! I’m Sue, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years—starting with family, friends, and referrals, and now expanding to help more pet parents through Rover. I currently have a one year old sweet Labrador Retriever with a heart condition, so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs who need extra attention or medication. I’ve also raised puppies as young as 8 weeks and have experience with both dogs and cats of all kinds. Whether it’s playtime, walks, administering meds, or just relaxing and keeping your pet company, I’m happy to follow their routine and comfort level. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs—as long as they’re not aggressive and are okay with someone new in their space. If your pet needs medication (oral or topical), I can handle that with care and calm. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll always treat them like my own. I have plenty of availability during the week and some on weekends. Just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly and make sure I’m available to meet your pet’s needs! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care as I do my own. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just making sure your pet has company and comfort while you’re away. I always prioritize safety, whether it’s making sure doors are secure, checking that your pet’s collar/harness fits properly for walks, or being mindful of any specific needs or sensitivities your pet may have. During dog walks, I avoid busy or unsafe areas and pay close attention to your dog’s body language and comfort level. I’m also happy to give updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident while your pet is in my care. Clear communication and respect—for both your pets and your home—are very important to me.

About: I have 7 years of experience taking care of dogs. This includes outside dogs, inside dogs, crated dogs etc. I have experience taking care of puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m currently working part time while doing full time online college, this gives me the opportunity to spend more time at home and focus on pet care! I currently do not have a fenced in back yard, to accommodate for this I walk dogs every two hours to ensure they get enough outside time! I also have a crate for any pups that use one.

About: I treat every pet like my own with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I’m comfortable with sticking to specific routines, and providing calming companionship for anxious pets. Whether it’s a playful walk or a quiet cuddle session, I tailor my care to each animal’s personality and needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. I build my schedule around giving pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet’s routine stays consistent. I’m flexible and reliable, which means I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs like last minute bookings, regular visits, or overnight stays. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether they’re in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I follow all provided routines closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and play preferences. I keep the space clean, secure, and calm so your pet can relax in their familiar environment.

“Zach and Logan did a great job with the pups over the wkend. They were helpful not only with them, but caring for my chickens and hanging baskets while we were gone. I was a bit apprehensive about having someone I didn't know stay in my home but they made it easy and are very trustworthy. They are good communicators and kept me informed throughout their stay on how the pups were doing. Highly recommend them. Definitely will call upon them in the future.”
