“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”



“Hilary was really easy to work with and very flexible with the drop off/pick up schedule. Most importantly, Evie appeared to have a great time and enjoyed hanging out on the deck people watching. ”


“This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!”


“Julie was absolutely wonderful, I highly recommend and am really grateful for her thoughtful care of my elderly pup! It was helpful knowing my dog was in good company and enjoying all the smells and sunny spots in her nice backyard.”

“Royal and Rhonda are amazing. I left my two mini pom poms in their care for 6days. They sent me pics everyday of my babies and updates on them. This was the first time I had left with someone that was not family. I felt very confident that they would take of them as one of their own. For now on they will be my doggie sitter when I’m out of town. I can’t seem to Thank them enough. I recommend them to whom ever is looking for doggie sitter.”

“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”


“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of.

About: Experience caring for dogs in all ages and stages. Comfortable giving medications, following special diets, and anything else to keep your dog healthy and happy. I work full-time Monday-Friday, but am available in the evenings and weekends. I’m okay with adding additional furry members to my household while you travel and/or dropping in to check on them in the comfort if their own home. Full disclaimer: I have a senior dog, a cat, and school-aged children. Everyone in my household is friendly with both dogs and cats. My yard is fenced (4ft, chain-link) and dogs have access to a screened in porch if they prefer staying outdoors during the day. I’m more than happy to keep them inside, either crated or not, depending on your preferences.

“Cindy has been the best sitter for my Ziggy. He loves going to her place. Soon as we arrive, he just runs inside. She sends me daily updates and pictures also. Anytime I’ve needed to extend, Cindy is always accommodating and I truly appreciate it. I can’t recommend her enough!!”


“Adam and Amanda are great. They treated our pup just like their own. Our favorite Rover family so far. We will definitely try to use them again.”


“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”


“This was my first time leaving my dog at someone's house and he LOVED his time with Raye and Ollie! Raye sent me pics throughout his stay and took him on some adventures! I will definitely be using her again, thanks Raye!!”


About: Hi, my name's Joy and I recently moved to Richmond and look forward to getting to know the area through dogsitting! I have experience administering medications (especially to dogs that have a hard time with this), and crate and basic training, I work part-time from home with a flexible schedule, so I am very available for bookings during the week and weekends. I walk 5 miles a day on my own, but it's better with a dog, so I look forward to exercising your pup as much as they need! Pets are welcome on furniture and are permitted in all areas of my pet-proofed home. I am close to several parks with shaded walking paths and can walk pups around my neighborhood.

“Amy and her family were great! Cleo is an old dog, I usually take her with me but this time we were traveling for a funeral. It was our first time using Rover or leaving her with others, I was nervous. Our drop off time was early in the day but they were accommodating. Amy kept me posted on how Cleo was doing and sent pics every day which was unexpected but very much appreciated. Cleo clearly got lots of love from the whole family. I highly recommend Amy and Grant P. (and family.)”

Joy Z.

“Joy was an amazing pet sitter/house sitter for our dog and two cats! We got photo updates to document activities which put our minds as ease while we were away on vacation. Joy’s presence helped alleviate the anxiety our pets have while we are gone and it showed when we return home, they were acting like their normal selves, as if they forgot we were even away! I’d highly recommend Joy for short and long pet sitting durations!”
