1. Kade M.
“Kade was incredible! This was my first time using Rover so I was incredibly nervous. Kade handled my grouchy, shy dog perfectly. It was such a relief to feel like my dog was in such good hands and I didn't have to worry about him. Kade followed all instructions to a tee and worked around the hot weather to take care of Joe in the safest way possible.”
2. Amanda M.
“Amanda was phenomenal with taking care of Indi while I was out of town. Indi was feeling very sick and Amanda gave consistent updates and went above and beyond to help take care of her and make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Amanda, will definitely be rebooking for the future!”
3. Jamie H.
“Took great care of our three cats!”
4. Jonathan T.
“Jonathan was so easy to work with and took excellent care of our dog! He was very flexible with some last-minute plan changes, and he even spent more time than required to make sure our dog got some play time.”
5. Andrew C.
“Andrew has been by far the best dog walker you could ask for. Always going above and beyond. He literally offered to install the portable AC in my house while I was at work and the AC went out. Leaving Richmond is going to be hard but finding anyone better with my dog will be impossible!”
6. Devinder K.
“Devinder is very friendly and makes sure your pet gets the care they need. My dog Sylvester is being left alone in the home for the first time since COVID started and Devinder makes him feel comfortable while I'm away. Devinder is great about sending updates and photos. Definitely booking again!”
7. Lee B.
“Lee was fabulous, and I can tell from the photos how much my cat enjoyed her time with him! He went the extra mile by timing a visit to “witness” her food dropping in the auto feeder. Impressive!”
8. Katherine H.
“We love anytime Katherine can take care of our babies! We never have to worry and always know they are being genuinely loved on in our absence!”
9. Kyle J.
“This was my first time using Rover services. Kyle was fantastic! My pet was well taken care of, my home was just as I left it and the communication from Kyle during my absence was perfect. Not only will I use Rover again; fingers crossed that Kyle will have openings on his schedule for me.”
10. Julia B.
“Julia did a wonderful job taking care of Rummo while we were out of town for a few nights. She took the time to come meet him prior to our trip and had no trouble following our care instructions. She sent plenty of pictures while we were away and even spent extra time with him after their walks. I highly recommend Julia if you are in need of a reliable individual to take care of your pets. Thank you Julia!”
11. Erin S.
“Erin was terrific! She set up a time to meet my dog beforehand which I really appreciated. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. My pup seemed quite happy with her visit. :)”
12. Theresa A.
“Theresa was so awesome, reliable, and communicative! I have a senior dog and Theresa was so kind to her and I could tell how happy my baby was in all of the pictures Theresa shared with me. I will definitely be booking with her again and hopefully I can become a long term client of hers. 100% recommend her for any services! You will be calm and confident knowing your baby is in the best hands.”
13. Shelley C.
“Shelley was very patient with our ever changing travel plans, and sent photos during each visit! The only thing I'd change would be to get a short written summary as well as photos. Thanks again!”
14. Lila D.
“Lila is always so wonderful watching our girls. She keeps us fully informed and is even comfortable giving medicine when needed. We really appreciate her help especially during the holiday season!”
15. Giselle C.
“Reliable and trustworthy. Appreciated her flexibility in checking in with my dogs while I was away and again when I returned from my trip early. Left things neat and organized. Definitely recommended.”
16. Chloe W.
“Chloe was a lifesaver! We booked her for some last minute check ins before our pup stays with her next month, she drove half an hour to our new house to check on Finley and made us feel so comfortable about him staying with her next month. Finley has found a new bff!❤️”
17. Nevaeh S.
“I am delighted to recommend Nevaeh as a dog walker. Having observed her dedication and love for animals firsthand, I can confidently say that she would take excellent care of your pet. Nevaeh is a natural with all animals, which is evident in the way she interacts with them. She has a remarkable ability to connect with animals of all sizes and breeds, always demonstrating patience, kindness, and a deep understanding of their needs. Beyond her technical skills, Nevaeh's genuine affection for dogs shines through in everything she does. Her positive attitude and love for animals make her a joy to work with, and it is clear that she takes immense pride in providing exceptional care. In summary, Nevaeh is a dedicated, reliable, and highly skilled dog walker who would be an asset to any pet owner. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any dog walking position and am confident that she will exceed expectations.”
18. Emmalee G.
“Emmalee was great! She patiently gave our cat his drugs (which can be a chore) and took the extra time to cuddle with the sweet little guy. Would definitely book again!”
19. Catherine C.
“Cat is an amazing sitter! She takes great care of my puppy and is very accommodating with her times. She is reliable and best buds with my little puppy girl. A must book if you’re looking for somebody to treat your dog like you would!”
20. Dana F.
“I have hired Dana as my job requires me to travel often. I have a pitbull, who is extremely human friendly but struggles with other dogs, and a cat that is quite shy. She has been a lifesaver when I have trips that come up with short notice. She is extremely dependable and trustworthy - not only with my pets but with my home as well. I trust her implicitly. Her understanding of animals is clear as soon as you see her interacting with your pets. She reads them well and handles them with care and experience. I strongly recommend Dana if you have any pet sitting or dog walking needs.”
