“Cathy Jo did a wonderful job with my 4 cats!! Didn't matter what I asked her to do she was more than willing and totally unphased by my special request for a couple of my special needs cats. And she was very good about keeping me posted each day on how the kitties were doing. I highly recommend Cathy Jo!!!”

“Lexi went above and beyond. She not only cared for our cat (who loved her!!) but she also saved our home when our water heater exploded and was leaking all over our house. Seriously saved the day!!! 15/10 would recommend and will be booking with her again!!!”

“Helen is wonderful! She responds quickly and was able to accommodate last minute requests. She is great with our puppy always keeping her entertained. We will definitely continue to use Helen’s services.”

“Taylor was so attentive and friendly. She was always on time and reported everything. She even had to work around a storm- which our dog gets severe anxiety about. Our dog was extremely well taken care of and loved. We will definitely use Taylor again!”

About: Hi! I'm Christynn, and I'm 19! I’ve worked with animals for years, starting at a boarding facility when I was 16, where I learned daily care, handling, and health monitoring. I also completed a two‑year animal science program in high school that earned me my Veterinary Assistant Certification. Now I’m studying Animal Science at Virginia Tech, continuing to build both hands‑on and academic experience with animal care and welfare. Now that I’m home for the summer, I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and the only day with limited hours is Sunday, I’m free after 1pm. I’m excited to spend my summer giving your pets lots of attention, walks, and love. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your routines closely, feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, and any house rules you already have in place. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep an eye on behavior, eating, and overall well‑being, and I’ll always update you so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re gone.
“Meghan was great with my cats and dogs. She was very professional and took notes at our meet and greet. She didn't have to ask any questions while caring for my pets. She also didn't send an overabundance of pictures, usually just one picture of each animal.”

“I’m so grateful that a friend recommended rover to me. I was able to secure a reliable, loving animal caregiver to care for my pets while I was away. Having Anne’s help gave me peace of mind. She’s honest and caring. I sincerely think Anne was a true blessing.”

About: I've owned dogs, cats & horses my entire life. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, 2 cats and a horse that are all treated like human children. I'm familiar with both young and elderly animals that require medical assistance. I work from home in Glen Allen. I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet during the day and before/after work. I am comfortable with walking all dogs, crating dogs, working on commands and especially providing love and treats if desired! Happy to also prepare lick mats or other stimulation while you're away.

“Steven is a rockstar!! He is trustworthy and flexible. He also was so helpful in letting us know that our back up sump pump battery was beeping due to a power outage. We were quickly able to get someone over to assist. Had we not known this, the rain could have led to a flood in our basement. Steven is more than a dog sitter!! So very helpful and we’re grateful to have him help us when we need him! Book him NOW!! Don’t hesitate!! do it.”

“Anna took care of my 2 cats on short notice when I found myself without a sitter just before a work conference. Oral pet meds and sensitive pet behaviors were no issue for Anna! Thank you!”

“Can not say enough good things about Mandy! She understands that puppies have a different energy, and needs, from adult dogs and navigates the care of both my pups beautifully. She genuinely cares about my dogs and their well being. Very grateful to have her as our sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. My parents had a dog before I was born, so being around and caring for pets has always been normal for me. As she got older, I learned how to take care of a senior dog and became more patient and attentive to her needs. We later got a new puppy, and I helped raise her, so I’m comfortable with both energetic dogs and keeping up with routines. My family also used to pet sit pretty often, so I’ve been around a lot of different dogs with different personalities. As I got older, I started pet sitting on my own for family friends and people in my neighborhood. I really enjoy it and try to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I own a pet dog already so I’m always on the lookout for anything she needs! We also go to the dog park or on walks! For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. During drop-ins, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and get attention based on their needs, whether that’s playtime, company, or just a calm presence. I also handle things like quick cleanups or litter boxes if needed. For walks, I make sure your dog gets safe, active exercise while paying attention to their pace and behavior. I’m careful with leashes, surroundings, and making sure they stay comfortable the whole time. I always follow any specific instructions closely and try to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I can also send updates if you’d like so you know how everything is going.

“Casey was great for Ally. She was punctual and took good care of Ally. She seemed patient (Ally is a super senior at 16) and Ally seemed to like her (she does prefer women over men). Overall, Ally was well cared for and received the level of care befitting a senior animal.”

About: I have over a year of hands-on experience working with dogs as a pet care boarding associate and a dog groomer. I truly enjoy what I do and take pride in making pets feel safe and comfortable. Friends trust me to care for their pets, which speaks to my reliability and genuine love for animals. Aside from professional experience- i’ve grown up with cats and whole lot of animals (chickens, sheep) and loved them all deeply:) I’m currently working part time and I am also a student. However, I still have extra time on my hands to care for your pups and kittys especially since summer is coming up! I can stop by your house and care for your pets and if I have time I can sit for a little and keep them company for awhile. I can give your fur baby attention, love, and care (feeding, walks, going potty, etc). Since i’ve had some professional experience I can try to earn a dogs trust if they’re a little bit anxious along with remaining calm and giving them some time to open up!
“Savannah did a wonderful job taking care of Phoebe. She was attentive, gentle, and responsible, making sure Phoebe was comfortable and well cared for at all times. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Phoebe’s well-being, which gave great peace of mind.”


“Randi was awesome! I don’t often leave my dog so I was fairly nervous to use a stranger. However, she came by while I was here to meet my dog, and watching her with him immediately put me at ease. We have already booked another session with her!”

More excellent service from Amanda! She is our go-to person to care for our two cats when we’re out of town. She is very punctual and thorough, taking time to play with our cats in addition to the usual daily tasks of caring for them. She’s great about sharing photos and videos of our cats with us, too!
