“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”


“Jasmine was a total lifesaver with her ability to take my puppy in with less than a day’s notice. She took such excellent care of Runa, keeping her actively engaged in various activities as well as keeping me posted throughout the day. Runa is home now and sleeping like a rock. Couldn’t recommend Jasmine more.”

About: My wife and I had a successful dog-sitting business using a different app for years. Your pet will be well cared for. If they are on a special diet, no problem. I am organized and will ensure your pet is well-fed, walked, and playing. My wife and I are working from home so we will be happy to set your pet for you while you vacation or just want to take a little break. Your pet will be able to chill and relax or we can go to the near by dog park to get rid of that puppy energy. I have an open schedule. I work as a Lyft driver and have a side business. I have plenty of time to walk and play with the pets we care for. We ha e a fenced in large yard with plenty of space for the dogs to run and play in. They always enjoy playing and running in the yard.

“This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”


“This was Luna’s first day with Julie. She was happy when I picked her up and seemed to enjoy herself. We have another day scheduled in a week.”


“I can’t possibly say enough good things about Tyler and the amazing care she took of our pupper. She’s the best.”


“Susan is amazing and made our anxiety-inducing first drop off at doggie day care way easier! Easy communication and planning and she and her dog made mine feel right at home. Loved how many updates and pictures she sent us too! Our dog seemed happy and tired afterwards.”


“Danielle and Matt were amazing - so responsive and helpful with our dog despite the last minute ask. They kept us updated about how he was doing throughout the day as well which is always appreciated!”


“Kat has a wonderful personality and deep love for animals. She has a great home and is committed to taking the best care of your pet. I know my dog is in great and safe hands with her. I will be using Kat in the future for sure!”


“Did fantastic with her and her family! Super amazing”


“Super flexible…we had to make minor changes to our drop off and pick up times and she was more than happy to accommodate! Got a pic during the day to let us know all was good with our pups. Would recommend her for your pet sitting needs! ?”


About: Hello! Just a quick note—I go by my middle name, “Wylie,” though my profile only allows me to display my first name. For years, I’ve had the joy and pleasure of caring for the pets of family and friends, and it’s become a true passion of mine. I’m the kind of person who can’t resist saying hello to every dog or cat I meet—whether on the street or in someone’s home. When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. As someone who considers my own pets to be my “kids,” I take great care to ensure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I believe every pet has their own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to understand what makes them happiest. My goal is to provide a home away from home where they can relax and thrive. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I work from home alongside my wonderful pets: Daisy, my 3-year-old yellow lab, and my three cats—George Bailey, Gus, and Little Boo (a once-feral cat who took me a year to coax indoors). Our home is a calm and relaxed environment where the pets are free to roam both inside and outside as they please. While I may step out occasionally to run errands, I’m typically at home throughout the day, ensuring your pet will have plenty of company and care. I have a fully fenced yard, so your pets can safely explore both inside and outside the house. My home is their home, and they’re welcome to relax on the furniture (unless you’d rather they don’t pick up that habit). We’re a laid-back, pet-loving household where the animals pretty much run the show! I’m happy to host more than one dog at a time, but I’ll make sure they get to meet my own dog and cats first to ensure everyone gets along and feels comfortable. It’s all about keeping things happy and stress-free for everyone! 🐾

“Great experience with Keesha and family. From the moment we contacted them, the communication was prompt and we were able to set up a time quickly. We dropped Ollie off for a short 4 hour visit and everyone was very friendly and nice. Ollie was very happy and seemed to enjoy his time at Keesha’s house. We would recommend this sitter and use them again! :)”


“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”

About: Please note that I just speak spanish. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, and my love for them has only grown over the years. I’ve always treated pets like family, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ve cared for my own pets through every stage of their life, from playful puppies to senior dogs, and have been with them until their final moments. Additionally, I take great care of my grandchildren's dogs, loving them as my own. My experience spans across all ages and needs, including puppy training and senior dog care, ensuring your pet receives the best, most personalized care. I am someone who is fully dedicated to animal care, which means that pets are my top priority. My daily routine revolves around providing the best care for animals, whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship. I focus all my time and attention on ensuring that each pet gets the care and love they need, and I’m flexible enough to accommodate any specific schedules or needs that arise. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with plenty of space to play, relax, and explore. I create a pet-friendly setting, free from hazards, and make sure all pets have a designated area for eating, sleeping, and exercising. For pets in their own home, I respect their routine and surroundings, ensuring they feel safe and secure while maintaining a familiar environment. I prioritize trust and communication with pet owners, updating them regularly to ensure they feel confident and at ease while their pet is in my care.

John Marshall dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jordan took great care of Lola. She was friendly, flexible, and communicative. Lola had a wonderful day with her and Callie May. It's clear she felt very comfortable and at home.

Kat was literally a LIFESAVER. I needed someone to watch my anxious boy last minute and she agreed to watch him so quickly and took such good care of him. Communication was excellent too!

Nelly loved Katelynn! She was exhausted when I picked her up and Katelynn updated me all day with pictures and videos! I have no complaints and would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again 😊

Kristen was extremely flexible last minute but my schedule changed again and did not end up needing the service. Despite the inconvenience to her, she was very professional. I would highly recommend her to others simply for her communication and professionalism.

Thao is a great host and our dog loves them and their house. The backyard is HUGE and our dog loves to run.

Emily was so great! She sent many updates of Sarabi which I loved. She made sure she was loved for the day while she was in her care. Will definitely be booking her again.

Brandon was very reassuring to Zori and myself. He took time to introduce each dog to her. His yard is a perfect place for lots of running around. We will definitely be back.

We were nervous to entrust our 13-lb Morkie, Miles, with anyone. 15 years old this November, incontinence, (yes he wears dog diapers), partial blindness, and early dementia are primary areas he contends with. When I picked up Miles up after the first day, he was just fine: partially wore out, clean, and ready to eat! We were pleased and immediately rebooked for the following day. Thank you Keesha, we will definitely be calling you whenever we need coverage for our Pootah!
