About: Not only have I owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, I've also fostered at the Richmond SPCA, RACC, and Sanctuary Rescue for a cumulative 13+ years. I'm highly experienced in animal behavior, nutrition, and medical needs. I do know animal CPR and I have no issue administering meds. I love animals and I am extremely familiar with their behavior. Please contact me to care for your pets so you can be stress free! I work from home which allows me to make my own hours and I can drop in any time past 9am. I am also used to pets with medical issues and can come over whenever needed to issue medicine. I keep a tidy house with many rescue cats and dogs. We have numerous litter boxes that are scooped or cleaned daily. People who come to my house are always shocked that I have cats. My dogs are kept as part of the family and have a large back yard to run around in.
“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”
“Alexandra is the best.My dog paced the floor excited when she knew she was on the way. Very friendly and reliable and tolerated my pulling dog. She helped me tremendously on short notice. My GSP Sadie enjoyed her walking adventures. I trust Alexandra with any pet needs and will be using her in the future!”
“Jenna, she went above and beyond her duties as a dog walker. She was very kind to Trevor, who is kennel anxiety dog. That has been in Hanover County animal shelter for way too long so this beautiful vibrant, sweet sweet dog they decided to euthanize so I have been walking him so that he won’t have kennel. Anxiety and Jen was a wonderful part of this. thank you so much and a shout out to Jenna”
“She is so awesome!!! My baby loves her I didn’t know he would actually listen he usually is scared of meeting new people but he was comfortable enough to listen to her I would definitely recommend her”
“This was the first time I have ever used this app/service and Taylor was absolutely amazing and quick to respond (which was amazing as my request was same day). She was so patient and gentle with my dog as he can be very wary/scared of strangers, but she did a great job of giving him time to warm up to her! I could tell he was absolutely ready for a nap after the walk.”
“Brandi is very reliable, caring towards my dog and accommodating. She also helped us to better understand the Rover app and how to utilize all its features. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have over a year of hands-on experience working with dogs as a pet care boarding associate and a dog groomer. I truly enjoy what I do and take pride in making pets feel safe and comfortable. Friends trust me to care for their pets, which speaks to my reliability and genuine love for animals. Aside from professional experience- i’ve grown up with cats and whole lot of animals (chickens, sheep) and loved them all deeply:) I’m currently working part time and I am also a student. However, I still have extra time on my hands to care for your pups and kittys especially since summer is coming up! I can stop by your house and care for your pets and if I have time I can sit for a little and keep them company for awhile. I can give your fur baby attention, love, and care (feeding, walks, going potty, etc). Since i’ve had some professional experience I can try to earn a dogs trust if they’re a little bit anxious along with remaining calm and giving them some time to open up!
About: Being a dog and cat owner my whole life has taught me how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, affection, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I have a flexible schedule amd am able to work from home. I genuinely enjoy making pet care part of my daily routine. As a dog and cat owner myself, I’m already used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and helping keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine and needs, and will treat them as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I always pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel safe, secure, and well cared for.
“Wesley was fantastic with our pups! Working 12hr shifts it can be challenging to find someone to check on and walk my two mini poodles, so I am very thankful Wesley was able to make time for them! Wesley also took the time amidst a busy schedule to meet the fur family which really helped😊🫶🙌”
“Shannon was huge help walking our dog Nora after my foot surgery. She was responsible, communicative, and took some cute pictures of Nora during their walks! We will definitely book again.”
About: Hi! I'm Christynn, and I'm 19! I’ve worked with animals for years, starting at a boarding facility when I was 16, where I learned daily care, handling, and health monitoring. I also completed a two‑year animal science program in high school that earned me my Veterinary Assistant Certification. Now I’m studying Animal Science at Virginia Tech, continuing to build both hands‑on and academic experience with animal care and welfare. Now that I’m home for the summer, I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and the only day with limited hours is Sunday, I’m free after 1pm. I’m excited to spend my summer giving your pets lots of attention, walks, and love. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your routines closely, feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, and any house rules you already have in place. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep an eye on behavior, eating, and overall well‑being, and I’ll always update you so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re gone.
About: I’ve provided pet care for various animals for many years. I have two energetic dogs and will care for your pet as if they were my own. I understand the importance of routine and your pet’s comfort, so will ensure that instructions are followed to the letter. I have the ability to work from home so can be flexible with drop-ins to meet your needs! My availability is updated regularly and can also work with you individually to figure out care that works for you. I can approach care in your home and walks however your pet is most used to, ensuring they feel comfortable and can stick to their routine. Also let me know if there is anything else I can help with while dropping in!
About: I have been pet sitting for years, ranging from bunnies to dogs to cats to tortoises! I am responsible, love animals and have had pets myself! I am a college student who will be home for the summer, so I will be free most of the day! My work schedule is flexible so I can accommodate you. I am very responsible and have experience with housesitting, pet sitting, and babysitting. I am respectful of everyone’s home and belongings, and would treat it like it’s my own.
About: I love dogs and would love to have yours keep me company while I work from home! I'm a software developer, I LOVE the outdoors, hiking, running, walking, rain or snow, I will be out and about with your pet tiring them out to the best of my ability in my free time. I have experience walking/caring for both dogs and cats, and walking more than one dog at a time. I check my phone and email regularly so I can always be contacted when needed and will send you updates and photos while you’re away. I am trustworthy, dependable, and punctual so you can count on me to care for your pet as if they are my own. I can't wait to meet your pet and love on them 💜 I’m working from home so I will be able to give your dog 24/7 supervision and love (except for when I run to the grocery store). I work a 9am-5pm and usually go on two walks a day, one around lunch and one after work. If I have your dog over the weekend I’d love to take them on a hike if they’re able. I have a split level home so your dog will need to be able to climb steps or weigh less than 50 lbs in which case I will carry them. I have a smaller yard that I can take them out to on a leash or lead and live in a walkable neighborhood.

This was the first time I have ever used this app/service and Taylor was absolutely amazing and quick to respond (which was amazing as my request was same day). She was so patient and gentle with my dog as he can be very wary/scared of strangers, but she did a great job of giving him time to warm up to her! I could tell he was absolutely ready for a nap after the walk.
Steven has helped us a few times now. He is always extremely responsive, responsible and the dogs love him! (The cats don't talk as much but I'm pretty sure they think he's fine.) We are so grateful to have Steven to help us. He took our oldest dog out for a walk by herself and then came back and got the other, more rambunctious ones!
He did a good job caring for our fur baby. His times was earlier or later than requested however it work out. Curly didn't have any accidents while we was away. Curly like him from the moment he met him. Hope to book him for our next getaway. To be able to trust someone while away is great feeling. Thank you
Wesley was fantastic with our pups! Working 12hr shifts it can be challenging to find someone to check on and walk my two mini poodles, so I am very thankful Wesley was able to make time for them! Wesley also took the time amidst a busy schedule to meet the fur family which really helped😊🫶🙌
