About: I truly love animals and care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always try to make pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s personality and routine. I also love sending photo updates so owners can feel at ease. Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with care and respect, always following your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I pay attention to routines, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also send regular updates so you always know how things are going.
“Brandi has visiting and caring for my 3 senior large breed dogs for awhile now. She takes wonderful care of them and the dogs love her. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
“Mark was a wonderful drop-in sitter for 3 cats. AND helped us navigate whatever changes in schedule needed to happen as well as assist with an unexpected vet visit. He's a marvel, and very conscientious with logging visits AND a photo every visit!”
“Makenzie was able to help us out last minute, and we’re so grateful! She took such great care of our baby, and Bella had so much fun with her. 🐶❤️ Makenzie communicated very well and sent us lots of pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much, Makenzie! We will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”

“You are not going to find a better dog sitter/walker than Amanda. The boys absolutely adore her and she is sooo good with them. She is incredibly flexible and accommodating of my chaotic life when it comes to scheduling. In fact, she has saved my butt on multiple occasions. Additionally, she proactively goes above and beyond. During this most recent visit, I warned her that I had run out of poop bags so she needed to watch her step. Amanda, being the caring puppy sitter that she is, surveyed the whole yard and picked up all of the stray puppy piles. I dare you to find another pet sitter willing to do that! Anyways, she's great!”


“Carolyn did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, and followed instructions perfectly. She even left a light on for me when I returned home late tonight, which was a pleasant surprise!! Would definitely recommend!!”

“Lauren is amazing! She followed every instruction and even went above and beyond by adding something I overlooked. I'm so grateful to have a trusted pet sitter.”

“Helena has provided excellent care for my puppy, shared great photos and reports for each visit, and always maintained great communication with me. She was very observant from day one, followed instructions and always kept me abreast of any changes or concerns regarding my pet. Thanks, Helena!”


About: I enjoy spending time with dogs, taking them on walks, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I understand the importance of providing a safe environment. I’m currently working full time. I’m available after 5PM on weekdays and on weekends available upon request for times. I have plenty of time on weekends I enjoy caring for pets and have yard that is big enough for them to play, run around and spend time doing different activities when need.

“Laura was great. It was comforting knowing she was here to check on our puppy while we were gone. She was very punctual which was important for our puppy who isn’t quite house trained. We highly recommend Laura.”

About: I love all pets, i’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old,My family & friends always rely only for their vacation and last minute trips to pet sit their furry little family!! I also have fenced in wooded back yard for your pets to have some playtime I am currently a stay at home mom so I’m always home which makes this the perfect time to give your pets the care and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard for outdoor playtime and a secure room with pet beds and crate for your pets to feel at cozy at home.
About: I grew up helping my mother with her professional dog grooming business. She also bred/registered dogs through the American Kennel Club for a number of years. Working with her I have gained valuable experience taking care and training all kinds of canine companions and will show the same dedication and heart to your best friend as well. I have worked with the bigger breeds such as Rottweilers, Pitt-bulls, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, and even trained German Shepard’s for police work with my sister. And I have also worked with smaller breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranian, Boston Terriers, and French Bulldogs. My favorite breed of dog is the Australian Cattle Dog for its small size and high energy. Perfect for going on trail hikes with me.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! Growing up as an only child, our pets were my built-in best friends and caring for them was my responsibility from a young age. That love for animals has only grown with me. Over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me to drop in, walk, and stay with their pets while they’re away, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal and their individual personality, routines, and quirks. These days, I’m a mom to a toddler and three very loved pets of my own, including my Golden Retriever, who is always happy to join me for a random walk during the day! I’d love to add a few more furry friends to my walking schedule and give them the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. In our house, pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat yours with the same love and importance I would want someone to give mine. Whether they need a good walk, some playtime, company, or just someone to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away, I’d be so happy to be that person! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout my day! I’m able to come and go as needed, so fitting walks, drop-ins, and visits into my daily routine is easy. I also have a great support system at home, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and give your pets the time and attention they need. Because my work is remote, I can also bring it with me when needed! If your pet would benefit from a little extra company beyond a typical drop-in, I’m happy to settle in with my laptop and spend some additional time with them rather than rushing out the door. As a mom and pet owner myself, caring for both little humans and furry family members is already a big part of my everyday life. My child has been raised around animals and taught from the beginning to be gentle and respectful of their space. My schedule allows me plenty of freedom to make pet care a natural, and very welcome, part of my day! In our house, pet care is part of our everyday routine! I make sure fresh water is always available both upstairs and downstairs and changed daily, my cats’ food is checked and replenished each day, and my dog eats on a consistent twice-daily schedule. When I’m home, my dog gets a morning or afternoon walk, plenty of trips outside to our fenced backyard throughout the day, and usually a daycare day or two each week for some extra exercise and socialization. When I leave the house, I’m also very mindful of his safety, he stays comfortably downstairs with access to his bed and water, potential chewing hazards are put away, and toys that require supervision are never left out. I’d bring that same level of attention to caring for your pets! I know every animal and household has its own routine, so I’m happy to follow your feeding schedule, potty or litter box routine, walking preferences, playtime rules, and any other instructions that help your pet feel comfortable. Whether your pet thrives on a strict schedule or has their own wonderfully specific set of quirks, I want their routine to feel as normal as possible while you’re away.
About: I worked at an animal hospital as a kennel assistant while in high school. I would walk pets, feed them, and play with them. I then moved on to become a veterinary assistant and have been one since I graduated high school. I have lived with animals my whole life. I currently have a five-year-old female German Shepard, a two year old Pointer Lab, and two cats. My GS, Tsuki, is a sweetheart who loves to always be by her mom's side and loves her walks. My pointer lab, Chance, is the most distinguished gentleman that just loves to play and constantly be learning new commands. Chance and Tsuki have two sisters, Mila (9 years old) and Ivy (4 year old). Mila loves her space, while my little Ivy is my trouble maker who loves to pull pranks on Tsuki and cause trouble with Chance. I feel like working with animals in a clinic and having my own has been a rewarding experience to learn more about animals and how each one has its own dislikes and likes. I have a very flexible employment, that sometimes I am able to work from home. I am happy to check on the fur baby as often as you would prefer and send you all the pictures! I have a fenced backyard for those dogs that love to be running around outside. If I am coming to your house, then I love taking walks and if you prefer, I would love to take them to the dog park. You let me know what you would allow/prefer for the care of your pet, and I will do just that!

About: Hi! I’m Casey — a stay-at-home mom who would love to spend a little more of my free time loving on some adorable pups! 🐶 I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits, whether you’re looking for someone on a regular, consistent schedule or just need an occasional helping hand. My schedule has some flexibility, so I’m happy to work with your routine and your pup’s needs. I’ve always loved dogs and know how much peace of mind comes from having someone you can trust to care for your pets when you’re not home. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want someone to give my own pets. Whether your pup needs a nice walk, a potty break, some playtime, fresh food and water, or simply a little company and extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’ll also keep you updated after each visit so you know how everything went. I’m not looking to fill my schedule with dozens of bookings — I’d much rather build relationships with a few families and become someone you feel comfortable calling whenever you need a little extra help. I’d love to meet you and your pup! ❤️ As a stay at home mom, I have the flexibility to live and care for your dogs when needed. I’m happy to set up a regular care schedule or be available while you are traveling. I provide drop-in visits and dog walking exclusively in the client’s home, allowing pets to stay in the familiar environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I believe keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and attentive to your pet’s individual needs, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship.
“Rachel is going to be our go to person for our puppers! She is so sweet with him and willing to give him all the butt scratches his little heart desires. He is a older and very mellow and can’t really go on walks but she she was more than willing to just sit with him as he enjoyed some outdoor time laying in the sun. She is also very responsive and keeps me updated on absolutely everything! I know Jameson is already looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Allen
Cathy Jo is a delight. Our pets are low maintenance on basic needs but high maintenace for emotional needs. She listened to instructions well and took care of them how we would. Our kitty who is prone to anxiety warmed up to her very quickly (which is unheard of)! Will definitely use her services again in the future!

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.

Beck went above and beyond for our girls. She was punctual, professional and spent extra time hanging out and playing with our dogs. She took plenty of pictures, and even offered to come back the same day when our trip home was delayed. She's quick to text back and educated us on how Rover works for us amateurs. Will definitely book with her again

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Glen Allen choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Glen Allen with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
