“Alexis went above and beyond on the tasks requested and even stayed extra time with my cats which was very kind of her! She was punctual and responsible and my cats warmed up to her immediately. I was able to have peace of mind during my trip. I would definitely rebook with Alexis and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”
“Kim was so great! Visits were consistent every day (which I know my cats appreciated), and many of the daily pictures she sent are so good I could frame them! I really enjoyed working with Kim and look forward to calling on her again the next time we’re out of town.”
“Lindsey was great! She kept us up to date with pictures of our dog throughout the day. Made me feel much better about leaving Dex behind he was in great hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Mary took great care of our 2 cats while we were away. We appreciated the pictures she took during her check ins. Mary followed all of the instructions we provided to her and was always on time for check ins. We would definitely trust Mary to look after our cats again!”
“Heidi watched my dogs while I was in the hospital and I couldn’t have picked a better person. My little dog is a picky eater and she did perfect with her where she trusted her (which is rare). I recommend her to anyone I talk to.”
“Hollis did a fabulous job with our dog Banjo! He is OCD and set in his ways, we have never used a dog sitter before! So glad we chose Hollis! Banjo made a friend 🧡 Thank you Hollis! Visited on time. Played with him and provided lots of pictures of their visits!! ♥️”
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.
“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services 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!
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.
About: Hello! My name is Kate and I want to meet your pet! I have a seven year old Australian Shepherd who might be the love of my life (don't tell my husband!) I have grown up around dogs but have also taken care of cats and guinea pigs. In all seriousness, I live in the Goochland/Short Pump area and offer pet walking during the day. I'm a super active person who works from home and has the time to commit to make sure your pet is well taken care of! My first dog (a Westie) lived to be almost 17 and by the end of his life, needed a variety of medicines throughout the day and so that is another service that I can offer. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I work from home starting late morning and also typically go to the park everyday after work (depending on the weather). I am available before work, during lunch, and after work. I make sure that your pet has plenty of water and play time before I leave the visit! I always make sure your pet is comfortable and we can play as much as they want!
About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.
“Jenna did an exceptional job caring for my senior small dog. If I could give more stars, I would! She gave me photos and video and an honest observation of my dog on each visit. I would 100% request her to come over again!”
About: I’ve taken care of friends’ and family members dogs since I was young. I have been assisting my girlfriend with her pet care business for the past two years and am looking to expand my services. I have learned a lot from her veterinary experience and have assisted her with nail trims and medication administration as well. I have experience with regular dog walks and boarding. My two most important skills are 1) keeping pups entertained and 2) keeping pups safe. I will pretty much have an open schedule all week. I have a couple scheduled dog walks but am mainly working from home all day. I am home most of the day. I walk my dogs and client dogs every 2-4 hours and make sure everyone gets their energy out before bedtime. On scheduled walks, I typically provide thirty minute walks in my clients’ neighborhoods, making sure my little buddy gets their energy out. Plenty of water and treats are always offered.
About: Hey, my name is Erin! I’ve had my own animals my entire life, but I also have 4 years of dog training professionally. I worked for the company Dogtopia (a great dog daycare/boarding facility) as a canine coach and assistant manager. I worked hands on in the room with the dogs during open play, and one on one in grooming and training sessions. Unfortunately, my husband travels for work so a traditional 9-5 doesn’t always work for me, hence finding my own lane with Rover! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend. :) I work from home remotely part time as a paralegal, and outside of that I am a stay at home wife. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life and I am open to working with clients to help accommodate special time needs. I cannot accommodate watching your pup at my own home because I have my own rescue who does not want to share the space. Thank you for understanding!
