“Kade is awesome! Our dog is a handful, but Kade matches him stride for stride. The house is always just as well left it, if not better, and they are always going above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
“Thane was great with Rat! They took the time to understand his personality and routine during our meet and greet which put me at ease. I’d definitely hire them again :)”
“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!”
“Lila was super responsive and dependable while watching our two cats for a long weekend! Even though our shy kitties didn’t give her much face time, she made sure to stay 30 mins to let them adjust to her presence. Her daily reports were very detailed and gave us peace of mind during our time away. We’d love to rebook Lila in the future and would definitely recommend her to any pet parent ?”

About: I grew up with two big dogs, a vizsla and a great dane and have experience working with all types of dogs. Now, I have a pitbull of my own, who I rescued from Richmond SPCA. I would love to cater to all of your dog’s needs and give them lots of love. I have very flexible and open availability! I am a student with lots of time on my hands during the summer. Let me know what your needs are and I can make it happen! I am used to dealing with both hyper and calm dogs. I’m also well versed in handling large dogs or those that need a little extra care. I’d be happy to feed, bathe, and/or walk and spend time with your dogs! I am also happy to accommodate to any special needs.
“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”
“Rachel is the best cat sitter! She is so communicative and is able and happy to deal with my quirky cats! They can be timid with new people but they have liked Rachel from the start. I will always use and recommend Rachel!”
“I’m so glad I chose to book with Devinder! I’ve been blown away by his responsiveness, flexibility, communication, and clear love for pets :) He’s very professional, but also comes across like a friend who’s always down to help you out and care for your pets like they’re his own. I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”
“Maria & Luis did a fantastic job taking care of Brutus. They were timely with their drop-ins, they kept us up to date with how he was doing, and provided plenty of photos. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to help take care of your pets!”
About: I'm officially back and excited to work with new clients! What really sets me apart is my genuine love for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Through my volunteer work with rescue organizations, humane societies, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, I've learned to connect with pets who might be shy, anxious, or just need a little extra patience. I'm especially comfortable with senior pet care (thanks to my own elderly cats), medication administration, and working with special needs animals. My late staffie rescue taught me that the most misunderstood dogs often make the most loyal companions, so I have a real soft spot for bully breeds and "difficult" cases. I've also got experience with puppy energy management – I can tire out even the most determined zoomie sessions! Friends joke that I'm a "cat whisperer," though I'll admit one particularly stubborn feline took me 15 years to win over. Whether your pet needs gentle senior care, high-energy adventures, or just someone who won't blink at their quirky habits, I'm here for it. No creature is too unusual – I've cared for everything from traditional pets to more exotic companions! After leaving academia to pursue my passion for writing and art, I've discovered the joy of a flexible schedule. I spend most of my time outdoors anyway (turns out fresh air is much better for creativity than stuffy lecture halls), so having some four-legged companions along for the adventure sounds like a no-brainer. Plus, I've learned that pet adventures are the perfect antidote to writer's block. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with administering medications, maintaining routines, and reading those subtle pet signals that tell you when something's not quite right. My own little crew includes two senior cats (14 and 17) and a wonderfully patient yellow lab who's basically a gentleman and a scholar. One of my cats has special needs, so I'm comfortable with medical care and know how important consistency is for our furry family members.
“Kristen was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of the country for about 2 weeks. We will definitely connect with her for any future needs as well.”
“Sophie was amazing with my cat, Lemon. She was on-time every single day, sent detailed updates with every check-in, and provided tons of awesome pictures. Thank you, Sophie!!”
“Abby was quick to respond to our request and was communicative through the whole process! She went above and beyond to take a package inside for us, ask about the litter box, and even played with the kitties and gave them some treats!”
“Rachel took great care of my dogs when I was away. She was very communicative and kept me well updated about how the dogs were doing the entire time. I would definitely book Rachel again!”

Gambles Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elijah did a great job as usual taking care of our kitties, including getting tracking down our shy ones who flee newcomers to assure us of their being okay. Photos show that our more social cat looks forward to his visits. Great communication and reliability.
Hannah exceeded expectations. I was able to relax and enjoy my little getaway knowing my dogs were well cared for. She was courteous, communicative, and professional. She kept me informed while I was away—with a bonus of super adorable pictures. She’s a gem! Thank you, Hannah. Duke and Barbecue look forward to seeing you again. 🐾🩷
Kathleen is such a gem—so great with my cat and SO helpful for me. Punctual, incredibly sweet, she has also been extremely flexible and patient two times when I was having trouble with my remote unlock from my smart lock. She's really been a lifesaver. Book her, you won't regret it!
Rachel was a godsend! She was sooo good with my 2 babies (cats) she automatically connected with my male cat, my female is very skittish, but Rachel knew what she needed to, T L C❤️ My plans, if she is still interested in next year, I would love for her to be able to come visit with my cats for a week again
