“Kyla was so great for drop-in visits this past week! She's very sweet and my normally shy cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She had great communication with the daily updates and pictures :) no notes, and will definitely see if she's available to book again next time I'm out of town. Thanks again, Kyla!”


“Meghan was absolutely amazing and took such great care of my very shy and fearful dog. Tucker my dog did warm up to her great and I will be using her again in the future. She was great with communication and the best sitter I’ve had so far!”


“Kathleen did a great job with Tater, played ball with him and feed him. She arrived on time to pick Tater up and is very responsive to walking requests. Will book again with her.”


“Rachel was wonderful with my pups. I appreciate her gentleness with my shy pups. They loved being around her. I felt safe with Rachel being in my home and caring for my pups.”


“This was our first time using services through Rover and we are so glad we did! Cat was absolutely amazing through the entire process keeping us well informed at each drop in. She was incredibly patient with our fur babies and their unique personalities, even befriending our shy boy in record time. Thank you so much, Cat!”


“My cats are very shy, but one of them came out to see Maria. I felt like they were in excellent hands. Communication was excellent. Luis and Maria are great!”


“I’m never using anyone else! Tyler has a genuine love and passion for animals that shows in her visits and when she hosts. You won’t just get pictures of your dog playing in backyard - she actually spends time with your pup”


“Cynthia was great! Kept us updated with photos and took extra care to keep our naughty cat that gets into everything out of trouble. It was so relieving to come home to two happy kitties and no stress while we were out 😊”


“Abby was great with my two cats and you can tell that she cares a lot! I would definitely rebook with her. I also appreciate that she was game to learn the system/feed them my homemade food. Thanks for your help with Ellis and Cicero, Abby!”


“Elle was super attentive to my two kitties while I was away for the weekend. I was so grateful for the check-ins every time she visited since one of my cats is more nervous around new people. I’m so happy that I’ll be able to hire Elle again to check in on them when I’m out of town!”


“Rachel was awesome! It takes a special person to get our very shy kitties to come out for pictures and some pets and she managed both. It was a huge relief that we were able to get someone so reliable on such short notice.”


“Katherine took great care of our pups. She was on time, responsive, and followed all of our instructions. She did such a great job that we already booked her for another weekend. Would definitely recommend!”


“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.”


“Deanna was reliable and professional in taking care of my babies while I was away. She showed up as scheduled, always included pictures, and accomodated my less typical requests in providing care. I would recommend her without reservation; I had peace of mind on my rip knowing she was taking care back home.”


About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience as a devoted pet owner, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage—from the gentle needs of my senior toy poodle to the boundless energy of my young golden retriever. I specialize in creating a nurturing and safe environment, offering personalized care that includes potty training, leash walking, and reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and recall. Whether it’s meeting the unique challenges of senior care or keeping active pups engaged, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a deep passion for happy, healthy pets. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, from morning walks and feeding to playtime and enrichment activities. My flexible schedule ensures your pets receive the care and attention they need, with plenty of time for exercise, training, and affection. In my home, I provide designated spaces for my pets to rest and play, ensuring they have a comfortable and secure area. I also have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time. Your pet will be safe and comfortable, and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can arrange playtime with mine. If preferred, I can keep pets separate or crate them if they are crate-trained, ensuring everyone feels relaxed. I follow a consistent routine for my dogs, including regular feeding, walks, and playtime, to maintain a sense of structure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe and positive environment where pets feel at ease, with plenty of attention and affection throughout their stay.

“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!”


About: there! I’m Jordyn Reid, your friendly neighborhood pet sitter. 🐾 I'm a full-time professional by day at VCU, but when I'm not working, I’m all about spending time with animals! Whether it’s a quick walk, playtime in the yard, or some quality cuddle time, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for. I’ve always had a deep connection with animals—growing up with dogs, cats, and even the occasional guinea pig. .I have worked in pet care for a good majority of my life,in grooming ,kennels, and shadowing veterinarians.I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, especially when their humans are away. So, while I'm working my 9-to-5, I’m still here to offer drop-in visits, evening walks, and weekend care to give your furry friend the attention they deserve. I understand the need for flexibility and will work with your schedule to make sure your pet is in the best hands, whether it’s a long walk, an afternoon snack, or some evening snuggles. 🐶 I currently work full-time but would love to take care of your furry ones around my regular 9-5 job . I am always very available on weekends. I would prefer to sit at your home ,as I find animals more comfortable in surroundings they can recognize ,and my roommate does have a dog who does not get along with other pets so for their safety , I would board at their home. Also when i go on walks I do make sure to keep all other animals away ,as I have learned that some pets just do not get along. I don't feed pets human food ,unless you as the owner is comfortable with that .And I love taking pics of pets so you will constantly be reassured that your little one is happy and safe.

It's comforting to know that my pup is in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker!"”
