About: I no longer have our own dog after losing my beautiful lab last year. I now want to be a pet sitter for cuddles and have a private home for your dogs comfort. I work full time from home and take frequent walks outside. Your pet will have constant companionship. A routine schedule is welcomed to ensure your pet stays on track! I do have a fenced yard. I do not have a crate or bedding which would need to be provided for your pet along with any necessary instructions.
About: I would love to come take care of your pet. I have always loved animals and training them has always been second nature to me. All my life I have been raising puppies along with all types of other creatures. I value their life as you would your own and I treat all owners and their belongings including furry children with utmost respect. I have fostered puppies from SFC(Spotsylvania) and BRAG here in Richmond. I am an army veteran who's current pet is a pitsky. She knows commands I have taught her myself. Sit, stay, down, drop, speak, handshake, ect. :-) I also know how to do dog CPR even though I am not certified I had a lab/mastiff mix who had a heart condition. I hope to work with you in the future. I currently am not working so I am flexible atm. However that may change by then end of June. I am always open to discussing plans with you.. I have a fenced in yard and at my clients home, if they do not have a fenced in yard, I make sure to never allow a pet to escape. I couldn't imagine the terror if it happened to mine so I will never let that happen to yours.
About: I've been around animals since I was little and have always had experience caring for different kinds of pets. I regularly help take care of my uncle's dogs, and I've also cared for a neighbor's dogs in my own home for a week. When I was nine, I had a cat that I cared for until it passed away. I also grew up having ducks at home, which gave me experience caring for animals beyond just cats and dogs. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. I want every pet in my care to receive attention, kindness, and the care they deserve while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and care. I do my best to accommodate different routines and make sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my priorities. I always make sure pets have a clean, comfortable environment, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I follow each owner's instructions and respect their pet's individual needs, routines, and boundaries. I also keep owners updated so they can feel at ease while their pets are in my care.
“Ashley and her family took our 10 month old pup for our wedding weekend and it was such a relief to have her in such a fun, safe environment! Ashley is so communicative and reliable, and daily updates and pics were sent. Thanks Ashley!!!”
“Jesse was so great with Zoey. He sent lots of photos, took her on a lot of walks and spent cuddle time with her. It’s clear he truly loves animals. We’d love for Zoey to stay with Jesse again.”
“Charlie was recovering from surgery. Donetta took extra care with our beagle. We were so happy to see that he was back to normal when we picked him up. Thank you Donetta!”
“Doris was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my fur baby, and it was clear he adored her. She is kind, attentive, thorough, and very professional. She kept me updated throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from young puppies to large breeds, and I’m confident handling a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure every pet stays healthy and safe. I also have experience with basic puppy training, helping reinforce good habits and routines. What sets me apart is my patience and understanding, especially with dogs who have separation anxiety or need extra reassurance. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own, paying close attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual needs so they get the best care possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they need. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and even last-minute bookings when needed. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, I'm able to adjust my routine to match your pet's schedule and keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for them. I'm reliable, responsive, and committed to being there when you and vour pet need me. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious three-floor condo that gives dogs plenty of room to move around and feel comfortable. I also have a friendly six-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals, helping visiting pets feel more at ease. My two daughters are gentle and respectful with animals, adding to the loving environment your pet will be in. I live in a great area for walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things consistent and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine and environment. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“My dog Ruth had a blast staying with Maggie and Josh for a week while I was out of town. Ruth can be very shy around new people and nervous in new places.. but not with Maggie and Josh! Ruth was best friends with Maggie at first sight and was very comfortable in their home. They sent me regular photo updates and clearly cared for Ruth like she was their own dog. Even the questions Maggie asked me at our meet and greet showed her familiarity with and care for dogs. I wholeheartedly recommend Maggie and Josh, and I know Ruth is already looking forward to my next trip so she can stay with them again.”
About: My name is Lorraine. I have watched dogs on and off for a few years. I’ll take them for walks bring them to the park on the weekend. I can feed them and administer medication. I had a dog that required taking meds everyday. I will unconditionally love your pet. I’ll take pictures of your pet while I’m watching it and send them to you. I do have a doggie door so if they wanted to go on my patio they could. My husbands in the military and lives animals as well. He played with our dog when he got home from work. I really love animals and their unique personalities. Consider me to be a loving pet sitter for your animal for you
“Excellent sitters for our little Ellie. It was the first time Ellie stayed with a sitter for an extended period of time. Pamela and Paul took great care of her and did their best to alleviate her anxiety (and ours) during the stay. Will absolutely use them again for watching Ellie. Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Grove
Maryurith was AMAZING with Roman during the 3 nights we were away! Even though we weren't always the quickest to respond on our end, she was always great about keeping us updated with pictures and videos. It was so reassuring to see how comfortable and at ease Roman was with her. We could tell he was well cared for and getting LOTS of love. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her! ❤️
Our dog had the best time with Beverly, her and her family were very accommodating with our dog’s special needs and kept her on schedule. She was also very welcoming, her energy was very positive and we got plenty of pictures and videos throughout our dog’s stay. Drop off and pick up went very smoothly. Would book again and definitely recommend
Allejah really is a five star sitter! Communication and knowledge of doggie behaviors, attention to detail, flexibility, and LOVE are all top tier. This was my first boarding experience and I have a senior dog so I was on pins and needles going in- my anxiety was eliminated after meeting Allejah and receiving my first round of doggie mail. My old pup was just as comfortable and cantankerous with her as he is with us:-). I appreciated that she made my Velcro dog feel comfortable enough to relax, rest, and cuddle. As an anxious pet parent- I was comfortable enough to enjoy my travels. I would 100% recommend her and I’d love to have her puppy sit again when the need arises.
Charlotte is the absolute best, and my puhpeh girl Winter loves her stays. She's super understanding and flexible if able. My girl always comes home ready to nap so I know she was well taken care of and probably a little spoiled. Communication is always great/consistent and I get some cute pictures while I'm away. Your fur kid(s) will be in great hands here.
If I could give Amy and Grant more than five stars, I would! Leaving your dogs with someone else is never easy, but from the moment we met them, they made us feel welcome and at ease. They took the time to show us both the inside of their home and their yard, which was very important to us, and it was immediately obvious how organized and prepared they are. They asked thoughtful questions about Charlie and Roscoe's personalities, routines, feeding schedules, medications, supplements, allergies, and habits so they could care for them exactly the way we do. Amy and Grant took the time to understand each of their individual needs, and it was obvious from the beginning that they truly wanted to provide the same level of care our dogs receive at home. We had a last-minute schedule change that was completely my fault, and they were incredibly understanding and accommodating without making me feel like it was an inconvenience. Throughout their seven-day stay, they sent multiple updates every day with photos and videos that made us smile and reassured us that our boys were happy, safe, and loved. It was especially sweet to see their children spending time with Charlie and Roscoe and treating them like members of the family. The thing that impressed me most was the incredible attention to detail. They sent home a spreadsheet documenting everything—from feedings, medications, and supplements to personalities, allergies, and routines. Because we have a very specific way of caring for our dogs, that level of organization meant the world to us. Amy and Grant cared for Charlie and Roscoe as if they were their own, and that's something you simply can't put a price on. We are so grateful for everything they did, and I would trust them with our dogs again in a heartbeat. I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for caring, dependable, organized, and genuinely wonderful Rover sitters.
Siobhan was great! She kept me posted about Shade and sent pictures. I liked she had other dogs for Shade to interact with. A plus is Siobhan’s location is very convenient to where I live. This is the third time I requested her services, however was only fortunate to book twice. Very pleased and would recommend!

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
