Marlowe was great with our dog Boone and our cat Luna! We searched a long time to find the right overnight sitter for our 10 year old lab because we had not left him with anyone before. Marlowe is the perfect sitter for him! We came home to a very happy pup! Her attention to detail and level of care matched ours and we couldn't be happier to find a repeat sitter!

Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

Kira and her family have been taking care of my Sooki for a number of years now, so I trust her immensely. You can tell immediately that Kira loves animals. She is kind, conscientious, and follows directions perfectly. If you have a request she follows up quickly and follows through. Your pet will be well taken care of ! I highly recommend her for all of your pet care needs.

Erica was wonderful, and we cannot thank her enough for staying with our pups. From the first meeting, both of our dogs were excited to see her and felt comfortable around her. While we were gone, Erica sent us pictures and updates. We knew they were in good hands, and were able to enjoy our few days away. Our home and our pups were well taken care of!

We had a great experience with Kaleb. He took excellent care of both our dog and cat, sending regular updates and pictures so we felt at ease while away. He left our home in the same good condition he found it, and most importantly, our pets were happy and well cared for. He’s trustworthy and reliable, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both long-term and everyday responsibilities, including helping raise my aunt’s dog from puppyhood and regularly caring for my boyfriend’s dog. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing companionship to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to each pet individually. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful for some animals, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring, and positive environment where they feel secure and loved. My experience caring for puppies has also taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of paying close attention to behavior, routines, and energy levels. I treat every pet with the same care, compassion, and responsibility I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own cats. I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. I even take my cat on walks, so I’m very attentive to both physical activity and emotional enrichment. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so being patient, observant, and consistent with their routines comes very naturally to me. II believe pets communicate their needs through their behavior and body language, so I always pay close attention to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I respect each pet’s boundaries while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, maintaining their routine, and making sure they don’t feel lonely or stressed while their owner is away.

Margot was absolutely amazing. We got constant updates and photos which we so appreciated. When we got home the house was just as we left it and so clean. She left the guest room so clean which we didn’t except given we’ve had other pet sitters who have left the house very dirty. When we met her we fell in love and will definitely be rebooking if she’ll allow us!! 10000/10 🤍🤍🤍

We hired Victor for a drop-in visit as well as a long weekend petting sitting in our home. He's wonderful! Highly recommended. We have both dogs and a cat, he's great with all of them! From the first time he met us/our pets, we could tell he has lots of experience with pet care. One of our dogs is a little nervous, one can be aggressive/protective around unknown dogs, one is a sneezy old cat - he navigated all three of them with ease and know-how.

Lupe is great! From the initial meet-and-greet visit through her nine nights with our elderly dog, she was professional, attentive, and great with communication. She provided regular updates and even coordinated directly with our neighbors who were helping at various times. We chose to book with her based on all of her great Rover reviews, and they are definitely accurate. We would love to have her again!

When we had a hiccup with normal pet care plans, Liz swooped in on short notice and took fantastic care of our energetic little munchkin Billie. She can be a lot to handle and Liz did a great job - we really appreciated the thorough and frequent updates and her eagerness to ask when questions came up! The house was tidy when we got back :) Billie was clearly in great hands and we’d love to have Liz back to care for Billie in the future!
