1. Kim A.

“Kim was so great! Visits were consistent every day (which I know my cats appreciated), and many of the daily pictures she sent are so good I could frame them! I really enjoyed working with Kim and look forward to calling on her again the next time we’re out of town.”


2. Lindsey G.
“I've known Lindsey for about 7 years now! I know Lindsey to be a fabulous human as well as a fabulous pet owner. Her spoiled pup, Norman is very well taken care of, enjoys walks and even gets a monthly Chewy box. As a responsible pet owner, Lindsey also makes sure that Norman has doggy day care days where he can romp and play. I highly recommend Lindsey and have 100% trust in her caring for others furry family members.”




3. Alexandra F.

“Paula provided great care for our dog and her communication is excellent. We look forward to calling on her again.”


5. Regan P.


“Love Reagan! She flows all my picky instructions, but mostly has gained the love & trust of my skiddishbkitties! It takes a lot of patience & gentle determination to do that! I never ask for anyone else.”


6. Madyson F.
“Madyson is a very conscientious and attentive sitter. She follows instructions well and her first and foremost plan is to make sure that your pets are safe and socialized. She's been nothing but wonderful for my little girl and always arrives on time and with a positive attitude. She follow safety protocols and offers a bubbly and warm personality. There'll be no worries about your furry friends if you look to her for care.”

11. Riley O.

“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”

About: I love many animals & I have owned 3 dogs who I love. Besides that I currently work at a pet boarding & daycare for the last 4 years which allows me to experience all sorts of personalities and needs that a dog may have as well as provide all the cuddles and treats warranted/ allowed. Lastly I was in a program in high school that allowed to experience what it’s like workings with other animals besides dogs and cats for 2 years. I currently work part time at my job, but I also am in school currently studying health science. I can consider taking dogs to my job as well to have daycare and be in my care during my shift as long as all the required vet shots are done, but I mainly want to do extra pet care on the days that I do not work as I love to be surrounded by pets throughout the week. Typically I can best work with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but weekdays are possible depending on time and amount of visits needed to meet your pets daily needs. I take my dogs out usually 3-5 times a day & leave water down throughout the day. Besides that she is normally fed 2x/day. At my job though we do 15 min walks if the parent wants that as an add on service so I’m used to the occasional long walk & dealing with dogs that require certain medicine, but am also up for learning new ways.


13. Kelly S.


“We discovered a last-minute "oops" in our planning: Ms. Kelly was quick to respond to my message and happily available for our two furballs. She wasn't thrown off by the myriad of information we always leave for the animals, and everyone was well taken care of when we arrived home. Thank you for being their for our kids!”




14. Alexandra C.
“I have known Alexandra all my life and I can say with 100% certainty that she would be a great dog sitter. She has had many years of experience as a dog owner and has committed volunteer hours at a pet shelter. Alexandra is one of the most compassionate people that I have had the opportunity to know. She is very responsible and I know that you would not regret hiring her.”


15. Zach D.

“Great communication! Took awesome care of Isis. I was able to enjoy my trip and not worry knowing she was in caring hands!”


16. Erin W.
“I was in a pinch and needed a quick solution to being called in to work last minute. I was worried about leaving my dog home alone for over 12 hours with no one to walk her. I quickly googled dog walking service and Rover came up. I found Erin and immediately connected with her, she came right over handled everything for my pup, with patience and care. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my pup. She treats her like her own, I can’t recommend Erin enough. Thank you Erin!”


17. Keeley S.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to help care for their beloved four-legged friends for years, so I know I can care for yours with as much love as I'd give my own. I've had my own little girl live with me even while at college and I know how important they can be to us. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of morning or evening availability to take care of your loved ones. I am also available on most weekends. I have an electric fence at my home, but my dogs are trained well enough that they can often be let out without worry. If I am watching your fur baby, I will provide one-on-one attention and only give them interaction with my own pets if we discuss it prior.
18. Dae'Twan S.
“Daetwan has always had a passion for caring for animals every since he was a young kid. He takes really good care of his pets as if they are human family members. He is also the best uncle to my teenage boys, he teaches them something new and positive every time they hang out with him. Daetwan is one of the most outstanding, respectable men I know.”


19. Hayden E.
“We used Hayden for a couple drop in visits for our 3 month old kittens. She was very sweet!! She changed their litter everyday and even took out our trash for us! We will definitely keep her in mind next time :)”
