“This was our first time using a home/pet sitting service. Angie exceeded all expectations of comfort and piece of mind to humans and pets alike. We feel fortunate and blessed to have found someone that feels more like an extended, trusted family with the pets and home. ❤️🐕🐾🏠❤️ The pack decided she could be part of the cool kids club.🤷‍♂️”

“Morgan did a fantastic job while my husband and I had to leave the state to attend a family emergency. We have a 3 year old husky and 2 year old lab both full of energy. She sent us pictures of how the boys were doing as well as letting us know when our husky was getting a lil separation anxiety and not really eating. Our lab was on 2 medications and Morgan made sure our lab was staying on track and when our lab ran out of salami to hide the pills in she had purchased some with her own money to make sure he was okay. 1000% recommend and in the future will definitely look to see if she is available.”

“Jennifer is amazing! Our dogs loved her and were noticeably calm and content when we got home. She spent so much time with them and really gave them lots of love and attention. They need medications and have a very detailed routine and Jennifer did everything they needed with no issues or concerns. Thank you so much! She is our favorite sitter now! 🙏”

“I am so grateful Elijah was able to care for our dog Louie while my husband and I were out of town for the weekend. He was great at keeping us updated on how things were going, touching base several times a day and sending photos. When we arrived home, Louie seemed calm and relaxed. Our home was left neat and tidy. We look forward to working with Elijah again knowing that we can be at ease leaving Louie in his care.”

“Paige is an amazing dog lover. We invited her to stay at our home and she took such amazing care of our babies. Unfortunately, an aggressive dog got into our property and Paige was able to de-escalate the situation and took great care of our baby who was injured. She is an amazing person and highly recommended.”

About: I have been surrounded by all sorts of pets since childhood - from dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, and fish! There isn’t an animal that I don’t love. I am a pet parent myself to 3 incredible dogs, including a pit bull, Saint Bernard, and a German Wirehaired Pointer. I have experience with specific breeds of dogs who have very specific needs and love to participate in their training! Pets are family to me and I would love to make sure your family is well taken care of, always! I am currently transitioning from full time to part time work so I will have even more time to play and care for your pets! I work 9 am until 5:30 pm on the days that I do work so I am able to maintain a routine schedule for your animals if that is what they need! I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, especially dealing with different personalities, training needs, play styles, and temperaments. I am able to gauge any situation to ensure safety is the top priority.

“I have to admit I was extremely anxious about using Rover.com. In the past, I have always known my dog sitters. And then a dear friend of mine, who is as passionate about her dogs as I am about mine, highly praised the website and uses the service quite frequently. I went on the website and I searched for sitters and narrowed it down to just a few and decided on Antonio from his picutres as it was quite obvious how happy the dogs looked under his care. And he appeared to engage the dogs in varied activities. He was very helpful with his messaging and assistence during the search process. Then with the "meet & greet" with my dogs Campbell and Charlie, I knew I had made the right choice. As he also was the House sitter, upon returning home found our house in perfect order. He was in contact duirng my days away posting pictures and keeping us well informed without being excessive. Always asked questions if he wasn't sure about something. For instance, we have a dog run on the property and he really didn't need to walk the dogs with a lease: just be with them while in the dog run. Then he messengered me and asked if he could take the dogs for a walk and I suggested he walk them separately as I do. He posted photos. Campbell & Charlie both looked happy and that was that. They all needed to get out of the house and spend some time together one on one. It's clear that Antonio really likes what he does and that he truly cares about the well being and happiness of the dogs under his care. He is quite personable and easy going all the while maintaining his professionalism. I will not hesitate to use him the next time I travel and in need of a sitter.”

“Maddi came through for us once again! She was an amazing dog sitter for Kaiser, providing him with chew toys to keep him busy on a rainy day. And when a stomach bug kept us out of town overnight, Maddi graciously agreed to drop in for an extra day! She added the extra fee through Rover, making it easy for us to pay! We were grateful for Maddi in our time of need! She is so great, thank you Maddi!”

About: I love all animals- big and small. I'm developed a patience and desire to work with animal from a young age. Having worked at a vet hospital during my high school era, experiencing dogs of all ages. Later working with the Wag app to walk over 100 dogs( some regular clients ) around and in the Richmond area. Ive enjoyed week long sittings with fur friends, making sure they feel comfortable and less anxious while humans are away. Taking walks and precaution about dogs sitting for too long without exercise. Ive enjoy fur friends of all size and have developed safe skills for walking dogs that pull or dogs that are anxious. I also enjoy curious dogs that stop and sniff everything. Willing to connect and answer questions.

About: I am a dog lover and I’m comfortable with all breeds. I had multiple pets including a dog and cat that I took care of growing up. I currently have no pets but have recently taken care of friends’ dogs. This has included overnight and daytime boarding at my house while taking care of all walking, playing, and feeding needs. I’m currently working PRN (part time) as a physical therapist and I have a lot of flexibility and freedom in my schedule. I’m looking to fill some of this free time with something that I’ve always enjoyed, taking care of pets. I am trustworthy, clean, and respectful of others homes when entering to care for their pets. I am happy to walk your dog wherever they normally like to go around your home.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life! My dream job was to be a veterinarian until I realized I’d probably get attached to the animals haha. I’ve been house/pet sitting for relatives for the past 7 years now and I love it!! I love being able to take them to dog parks, playing, or even just having a chill day! I also love to spoil the pets by buying extra toys to play with and some good snacks! I think doing rover and being able to care for others pets will be a great way to spend my time since I love animals! I update my calendar every 2 weeks and communicate through my inbox! If there’s a note given on specific times to feed or walk I’ll follow them exactly as written. I won’t ever do something without asking/notifying the owner. I’d spend quality time with the pet and try to get them to trust me and build a bond!
