About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have alot of experience with pet sitting within my neighborhood and family friends. I am a full time elementary education major at VCU, I am looking for a part time opportunity to make extra money. I am free in the mornings from 6-8am, 12:30-3pm, and 7pm to 9pm on Mondays and Tuesdays. Then for Wednesdays and Thursdays I am from from 6am-7am and from 3pm to 9pm as I am in the public schools. I am willing to open my availability on Fridays as well. I am willing and ready to step in wherever you need me. I have a lot of experience with dogs specifically but I am also pretty familiar with cats.
“Alex took great care of our two dogs! He sent daily updates and photos. Our dogs really enjoyed their time with him. He left the house clean and tidied up. Very happy with the care our dogs got while we were gone, especially our senior!”
“JP was amazing! She’s polite, a great communicator, and was punctual. She sent lots of great pictures and took great care of our babies while we were away. I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“We very much appreciated Emily! I was very nervous to leave our two dogs with a new person as we have one older dog who requires extra attention due to a medical condition. Emily met with us beforehand to go over our routine and then I sent her my "instructions" before we left. She followed their routine and kept us up to date on the dogs. It helped to know the dogs were well taken care of - glad to have found someone to watch our dogs when we have to be away!”
“Mallory was wonderful house sitting for us and our pup, Ruger. We never had to worry about communication, and I swear the house was cleaner when we got home than it was before we left. Mallory was a trooper during the winter storm and throughout our heat going out on them. We would highly recommend using Mallory for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Sara was great! We left our Nailah home for a night while we went on a trip and she took good care of her. She sent pictures as well as updates while we were gone and our Nailah really seemed to love her. Would highly recommend 10/10”
“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”
“Elizabeth is so kind and very accommodating for my pup! She did a fantastic job caring for her and followed all my instructions. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah was a wonderful sitter! She was extremely attentive to our more nervous dog during a storm even going the extra mile to put music on to put her right to sleep. Hannah went above and beyond to care for our girls. We will use her again for sure.”
About: From an extremely young age, I’ve been surrounded by animals at every moment. I have cared for various dog breeds including pitbulls, great danes, labs, german shepherds to even maltese! I have also watched over pets including cats, birds, lizards, snakes, even tarantulas! I have a 3 year old german shepherd/golden retriever mix named Kova! When I was younger, I had a jack russel/pug mix named Splash! I have self trained both my dogs from a pup, as well as assist friends and family with both on leash and at home training. I have experience with nail clipping and other grooming care. I am also a very outdoor active person! I have taken my dog on almost all Virginia trails as well as camping trips, so I understand the importance of your dogs outdoor activity! I am currently a full time designer with loads of free time afterwork and on weekends! On weekdays, I am available from 5:30-8:30pm. Weekends, I have full availability and flexible hours! I currently do not have my dog living on campus with me, so my need to be around animals is through the roof! I am comfortable working with all sizes and breeds, but I would appreciate if you inform me if you have an aggressive or guarding pet, both on and off leash. I only ask this for my safety and awareness before entering into your space! Thank you!
“Kaleigh is amazing! This was the first time leaving my pup and Kaleigh made me feel at ease with consistent communication and updates. She took the time to learn my dog’s personality and routine so she could be as comfortable as possible. I’d definitely recommend Kaleigh!”
“Joe did a great job communicating and sending pics every day, which allowed me to relax and not worry about Bentley. He went above and beyond caring for my pet and my only concern is that he will have more requests for his services than he has time!”
“Keith was amazing, he communicated consistently and sent me wonderful pix and videos on my pup while I was gone. He made sure to spend extra time with her and take her and let me know how it was all going along the way. I would absolutely book with Keith again!”
“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”
“Kate was awesome!! She was very communicative with us the entire time, sending lots of updates with pictures and videos. Our dog was very well taken care of and got all the exercise and attention she needed. ?”
“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!”
Laburnum Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Celeste was absolutely amazing. They were prompt with communication and pictures, asked all the questions needed to care for Sookie. Our place was clean when we got home. I love how cared for our girl was taken care of. We will definitely be using Celeste in the future!
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!
DJ was absolutely amazing—this was my first time using him, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly flexible and met up with me a couple of times beforehand to make sure it was a good fit and that our dogs got along, which I really appreciated. During my week-long trip, he sent daily photos and thoughtful updates, which made it so easy to relax while I was away. He stuck closely to Louie’s routine but was also flexible based on what Louie needed day-to-day. Louie even developed his first hot spot while I was gone, and DJ handled it so well—I never felt worried for a second. It was clear Louie was in great hands. On top of everything, I came home to a place that was even cleaner than I left it. Truly above and beyond. 10000% would book again. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough good things about Miranda. It’s clear she has a real knack for animals; my two dogs were so happy and well-exercised under her care. She was reliable, on time, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We’ve definitely found our go-to sitter and will be using her from now on!
Hannah took great care of both my home and my cats while I was away. Both my cats have quirky personalities but she worked with them to make sure they kept comfortable while I was away and made sure to send me pictures and videos of how they were doing. She also left my home clean and tidy for when I came back.
Zoe was super kind and considerate when I needed a last minute pet sitter for my rescue dog who has never been away from us before. She was very professional and understanding that he needed some extra time to adjust, she was very patient with him and followed his routine perfectly! I highly recommend Zoe :)
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!
Collette did a great job taking care of our two girls. We got multiple daily photos and small updates on how everyone was doing. They also made the girls comfortable and made them felt like we never left. Collette also made sure our house was clean and tidy before we returned. Highly recommend!
