House Sitting Jackson Ward

“Mallory did a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our pup!! She took incredible care of everything and sent great updates! She was very flexible and so easy to communicate with and very responsive!”

Amy B.

“We booked Emily for house and dog sitting while we were on vacation. She did an excellent job of taking care of our dog and kept us updated regularly with pictures during our vacation. She took good care of the house too. We can highly recommend her, and would definitely use her again.”

Mark L.

“Marissa was kind, communicative, calm, and flexible. My flight home got cancelled and I had to rebook my return trip a day later. Marissa immediately agreed to extend her services when I told her what was going on. When I (finally) made it home, Peaty was happy and well-cared for and my apartment was pristine. Would work with Marissa again in a heartbeat!”

Samantha T.

“Kacey was amazing! She spent so much time with my dog and you could tell she truly cared! I will be using her again! I couldn’t recommend more!”

Shelby B.

“Eula was a great pet sitter! I have a pretty crazy household and I'm always nervous to leave them with just anyone. Eula was prompt, kept me up-to-date, and made sure that everyone was well taken care of. She eased my worries (since I have crazy, rambunctious huskies that need to kept separate from my other pups and kitties), made sure whoever needed their medications took them, and took such good care of my pup that has severe anxiety. I came home to a very happy household and I would definitely allow her to watch my babies again. Thank you!”

Samantha L.

“Douglas was such a great dog sitter! Being new to the area and looking for a new dog sitter I decided to try rover for the first time and was not disappointed. He treated my dog like his own and sent tons of photo updates so I never had to worry! He even went above and beyond and watched my dog for an extra half day when my flight got delayed so he wouldn’t have to be home alone. Definitely the best dog sitter we’ve had!”

Karlee K.

“Oli was amazing yet again with our doggos and home. She stayed 10 days with them and kept up with their various medicine schedules. We couldn’t ask for more.”

Kate D.

“Kaity was such a great companion for Kiki and Lenny. She was responsive to messages, came for a meet and greet and the arranged time, and took great care of our dogs. We will definitely book her the next time we are out of town!!”

About: I have cared for animals for all my life, I grew up with both a dog and cat, and developed a genuine love for both. For the past three years I lived in south lake tahoe where I regularly dog sat for my friends and took them trail running, biking, and hiking. I love being outdoors, and a furry friend besides me makes the experience 10x better. In the past year I have worked at farms specifically with animal care and husbandry; including feeding and herding sheep and alpacas, working alongside herding dogs. I administered medications to large farm animals for infections and other needs. Whether your pet loves long outdoor adventures, leisurely strolls in the neighborhood or simply companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet and care for them! I’m currently visiting family in Richmond, Virginia, after spending the past year bikepacking and traveling throughout Southeast Asia. As I apply for forestry positions back in California, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, walks, and outdoor adventures. I don’t currently have a space of my own to host pets, but I’m very comfortable caring for animals in their own homes. Whether you need someone to stay overnight, stop by for visits, or pick up your dog for a walk or adventure, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and your preferences.

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”

Ren L.

“Violet did an amazing job watching Finn! I had her stay at my place while I was out, she was very professional and cleaned very well before she left! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to come watch their dog!”

Allison W.

“Carla was very responsive, punctual, professional, and friendly. She took wonderful care of our senior pup and sent lots of updates and photos.”

Ellen C.

“Over the moon with Ellie! She took great care of our two boys whilst we were gone easing so much anxiety. Ellie is responsive, professional, cared so well for the doggies, and went above and beyond!”

Emily C.

“Celeste was great with our menagerie of somewhat quirky animals. We were out of cell service for the majority of our booking, but I appreciated coming back to pictures and happy animals. They were respectful if the space. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

About: I prefer to go by Cameron (he/him). Since I can remember I have been caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, ages, and abilities. When I was in middle school my mom became involved in The Southern Cross Boston Terrier Rescue and we brought home many dogs to foster and officially adopt. Throughout my childhood I cared for blind dogs, deaf dogs, and dogs that struggle with seizure disorders. Now that I'm all moved out I have a long haired four year old cat named Fester. I'm helping my roommate raise her kitten and coparenting Benny my partner's Boston Terrier from the SCBTR. I'm currently returning to the workforce after recovering from top surgery so my schedule is very open. While I don't have a car at the moment I do have a bike plus I live in a convenient place to catch the bus. I don't currently have any fall trips planned so I should be here in Richmond area for quite a while. I don't take pets home with me to care for them. I am more than happy to come to you or take your pets to park based on what you would prefer. I am happy to feed, play with, and walk your pet as well as administer any extra care they may need.

“Aubrey provided us the peace of mind needed to travel out of town for a week. She took incredible care of my two hounds and our home. She goes above and beyond. She communicates and sends daily pictures and videos. We are thankful for her and will always reach out when we need care for our boys!”

Lisa R.

“Madelaine was wonderful from the start! Very easy to communicate with and prompt responses throughout the stay. It usually takes our pups about 24 hours to warm up to new people so we were pleasantly surprised when they were approaching and licking her immediately after she arrived for the meet and greet. It was such a relief to know they were being taken care of while we were away. And although they were certainly happy to see us when we got back, the greeting was much calmer than in the past. I think it was really good for them to be in their home environment and their reaction to us today is a testament to the good care and company Madelaine provided. Cannot thank her enough!”

About: My family is full of huuuuge animal lovers! Because of this, I’ve unofficially had years of experience with dogs, and more recently cats too! My three older siblings have two dogs each so I’ve had experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Of course I have experience with my own husky Luna who can be the toughest of em all lol I’m a full time student at VCU and I work a part time job, so I can get a little busy during the week! However, morning and evening visits are no problem, and my schedule is very flexible so I can always figure something out :) I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care for your pet like my own. I know, as a pet parent myself, that I’d like detailed updates on my dog as well as many pictures so I’ll do the same for you! I'Il treat them like my very best friend, I'll play with them, take them for walks around the neighborhood for some fresh air, and of course provide cuddles.

“Lupe was amazing with Taco. Great communicator and sent lots of pictures. She made me feel at ease and I knew Taco was being cared for and was safe.”

Kelly S.

“Isaiah was a very caring, attentive and professional pet sitter. He followed our pets care instructions well, and they took to him quickly. He sent plenty of photos and updates. We felt assured our beloved animals were in good hands. We will book with him again!”
