“Absolutely wonderful with my girl! My timid pup warmed right up to her, which usually does NOT happen so quickly, and loved the company. Kyla was responsive, communicative and was really great working with. Will definitely book with her again!”


2. Kristen C.

3. Jeffrey H.

“This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Jeffrey. He took such great care of our diabetic cat so we could rest easy on vacation.”


4. Shaine S.

“Hollie was wonderful with our two pups! One is a little more shy, but she still won her over and approached her with so much care. Hollie is highly communicative, responsible, and provided great care. Thank you, Hollie :)”


5. Sydney G.

“Sydney takes such good care of our babies! Thanks again for watching them. This is the 4th time we’ve used Sydney and we know our big dogs are in great hands! She sends the best pics!”


6. Cassie S.

“Cassie was amazing, she is a loving caring young lady. If I could give her 10 stars I would. I highly recommend her. She took excellent care of my puppies with lots of love and fun. She also took great care of my house so all I had to do when I came home was to love on my puppies and unpack and relax.”


7. Talia C.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.


8. Kay C.

“Kay was a fantastic help and super communicative. I really appreciated all of the notes and photos taken while we were away from our two cats and never stressed once about how they were doing. I would highly recommend Kay to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”


9. Alexander S.

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”


10. Andrew C.

“Andrew has been by far the best dog walker you could ask for. Always going above and beyond. He literally offered to install the portable AC in my house while I was at work and the AC went out. Leaving Richmond is going to be hard but finding anyone better with my dog will be impossible!”


11. Whitney S.

“Whitney was awesome. Very kind, professional, communicated well, and took great care of my cat! Highly recommend.”


12. Abby L.

“Abby took wonderful care of my very senior cat! Meds, food & water, litter box, and gentle petting and scritches. Great communication, too. I would definitely book her again!”


13. Allyson B.

“Allyson was great and helped out with my two crazy girls on short notice!”


14. Maria & Luis V.


“Thank you so much, Maria! Maria was a fantastic sitter for my two cats. She did drop in visits while we were away for a day, and she followed instructions perfectly, and came at the times we agreed. She played with my cats, and sent me lots of pictures, where my cats looked happy. We came home to two perfectly normal cats and house. Having her made my day better, because I could relax knowing that my boys were taken care of. I will definitely contact her again, next time we are out. Thank you so much again, Maria!”


15. Nick I.

“Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.”


16. Kathleen L.
“Kathleen is a treasure. She loves my dogs and can bring them to submission, with her quiet manner and her soft, gentle voice. She feeds, walks, and plays with them. She also administers their medications. She is dependable, prompt, and reliable—a true treasure.”


17. Kara I.
“Kara is an amazing pet sitter. Our dog loves her so much! She is responsible, timely and takes excellent care of our dog! I would highly recommend her!”


18. Ross & Ava T.

“These folks are incredible!! So kind, great with my dog, and very flexible. I’ll be booking again!”


19. ashley g.
“She’s hands down amazing with all animals and treats them like her own. I definitely recommend for her to sit for your pets you won’t regret it.”


20. Deanna S.

“Deanna was great! I was away longer than usual but felt confident all was well because of Deanna’s detailed updates. Everything was perfect when I came back. I would definitely use her again.”
