“It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”

“My dog Chase stayed with Ayme for several nights and we were so pleased with the whole experience! This was our first booking with Rover, and Ayme was the perfect example of what the site strives for. She was super responsive to our booking request, logistics inquiries, and questions. During our meet and greet and subsequent stay, Ayme was sweet and friendly and welcoming to Chase (and me!). She sent pictures throughout his stay. Chase enjoyed walks, play time in her yard, and a cozy spot to snooze with lots of love. We will be booking again with Ayme!”

“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!”

About: I am new to Richmond and looking to explore with my pup, Rubens. He has a lot of energy and loves to play with other dogs. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. Would love for my dog to have a play mate during the day. Using Rover to keep a routine and explore Richmond while I look for a full time position. I am currently new to Richmond and in between jobs. I walk my dog anywhere from 5-12x a day from 15-75 minutes (depending on weather, need to get out of the house, etc.). My job right now is to enjoy the outdoors with my dog and yours! Rubens and I welcome all other dogs as family! I live in a first floor apt with a small fenced backyard (only for small dogs). There is a hallway that runs from the front door to the back yard area, which is where Rubens likes to do zoomies or be a watch guard dog for the doors. As far as behaviors, Rubens is allowed on my furniture and has a small basket of toys that he shares. Treats are only during training and water is down at all times. We are pretty flexible, but can also set rules per your request to stay on your schedule/routine.

“Big thanks to Ms. Abby! This was our first time leaving our pup for a few days. You can always tell by the dog’s demeanor, whether they were taken care of well, and just by the way, our dog said goodbye to Ms. Abby told me that he was loved and cared for well! We also appreciate the timely updates and communication. Thank you Ms. Abby!! We appreciate you!”

“Donetta was great with Graham! I was a little worried leaving him because I wasn’t sure how he would adjust being gone overnight without seeing me. However, she sent pictures and she gave updates on how he was doing. I was very pleased with her services. I highly recommend Donetta, you won’t be disappointed she’s great with dogs.”

About: I grew up with pets and now have my own black Lab, who’s just over a year old! I’ve been pet sitting for 15+ years for family, friends, and Rover dogs (and cats)! I’d be happy to help with walks, check-ins, or giving your furry babies some extra love and attention while you’re away! 🐾 My main availability now a days are weekends. I am also available (some) week day's, but mostly later in the day after 5pm during the week if needed. I typically ask the owner before the first visit how they go about doing things/their routine with their animals. That way we're sticking to what the dogs/cats are comfortable with and what they know best!

“Wylie gave our lab Puca the BEST time. We are pretty sure he thought this trip was just for him. So excited to have an awesome Rover in Richmond!”

“Frank had such a great time with Amanda! She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being able to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. Frank clearly loved his time with her and, honestly, didn’t want to leave when it was time to come home! Amanda took great care of him, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. We will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”
