Caitlin was amazing. Both our dogs were happy when we got home and she gave us the best piece of mind that they were being looked after and that they were happy. We would recommend her to anyone and we are looking forward to being able to book with her again.

Marlowe was fantastic. She kept me informed about my babies exactly as I requested. She was very comfortable with my 3 big dogs, and kept them on their normal routine. I will absolutely request her services again.

Seline is a responsible pet owner. She's owned cats for a few years now (at least since 2020) and regularly takes them to the vet, does routine vaccines, and recently had one spayed. She makes sure her cats are always fed, hydrated, and have plenty of enrichment like toys, cat towers, and treats. I trust Seline to take care of my own two cats, which she has done a few times in the past. She understands instructions well, especially since my two cats have separate diets and must be fed separately.

This was our first time using Rover. After reading reviews on some dog sitters that do overnight stays. We had to go out of town for a few days and we did not want to board our elderly Great Dane.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a mom who worked in the Richmond Animal Shelter & a house full of adopted animals. From my sisters spoiled Pibble baby to my neighbors sweet little Yorkie, I’ve been their go to sitter/walker to watch their babies because they know I’ll love on them like my own fur babies 💕 I love to do Meet & Greets prior to your baby’s walk/drop-in if feasible. Coko & I are available Saturdays & Sundays for Meet & Greets! I am a mom of 3 & we have a Shih-poo named Coko. My babies have all grown up around family dogs and understand to be gentle with fur babies. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly so I’m sure we’ll meet a friend or two on ours walks.

Lynne was a great house sitter and did an excellent job taking care of our fur baby. She shared photos every day and even left a sweet message to welcome us home. It was comforting knowing our geriatric lab had company, especially in the evening, while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Lynne and look forward to rebooking with her in the future!

I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated Joi is to providing exceptional pet care. Her patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make her a fantastic sitter. She has experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and always adapts to their unique needs. Joi goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved, whether it’s sticking to routines, providing enrichment, or simply offering lots of cuddles. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their furry family members!

Grace was a wonderful sitter. My dogs were not overly stressed when I got home and that is due to Grace. My house was clean and neat. She stayed overnight for four nights and there were fresh sheets on the bed when I returned. She provided feedback while I was gone including pictures and daily text updates. I plan to use her again and again in the near future.

Cynthia and Nidal are absolute dog lovers extraordinaire! I had the pleasure of having them watch my fur babies while I was away, and I couldn't have entrusted them to anyone better. Their passion for animals is palpable, and their energy is infectious - my pups came back exhausted but clearly adored! Their communication was top-notch, with regular updates and photos that had me feeling like I was right there with them. The trust they built with my dogs in such a short time was impressive, and I appreciated the extra touches they added to make sure my pets felt comfortable and happy. If you're looking for reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely enthusiastic dog walkers, look no further than Cynthia and Nidal - your furry friends will thank you

Piper is the best!! Piper stepped in at the last minute when we had an issue with our previous sitter. She gave the pups plenty of love and exercise, and FaceTimed so I could go through their routine and virtually walk her through the house virtually. We truly cannot thank her enough!! To boot, she left the house in immaculate shape. Thank you, Piper ❤️
