“Loren was great with my dog. She showed up every day she was scheduled for. I did deduct a star because one day she forgot to close my garage door on her way out and didn't notify me. She also came an hour and a half early one day without giving me a head's up. Overall she was still reliable and treated my dog with care.”

“Cate had great communication back and forth with us and was very attentive to our puppy, Teddy! We will definitely reach out to her again for dog walking. 😊”

About: I started caring for dogs by the age of 13. Since then, I have been a reliable and safe pet sitter. I have grown up and taken care of larger dogs, which is where most of my experience has come from. I have cared for little and medium-sized dogs. I love quality time with the animals. Pet-sitting isn't just about letting them out and feeding them; it's about quality time. All dogs have a unique personality, and I love learning about who they are. That way, even when you're away, they are not alone. Every other day, I am out of school at 11:30, on the other days I am out at 3:25. I get up before school and go to the gym, which can easily be substituted for watching and caring for a pet. I work part-time, usually 2-3 shifts a week from 4:30-10:30 pm. That being said, I have plenty of time in the in-between of other activities to spend time with the animals. I work and live my best life with a schedule, so its no hassle to add in a furry animal in the mix! In the client's home, I will make sure all doors and fences are locked before and after my time over at the place. Lights will be off unless told otherwise. It will only be me in your home with your pets for safety purposes. All rules and directions will be followed, and I am not hesitant to reach out and ask questions because your pet's well-being and safety is important to me.

“Danielle was the absolute best with my doggies. She was sweet, responsive and reliable. The dogs loved her and she was very accommodating. She also took photos for us! I’d absolutely use her again for any pet needs.”

About: I started dog sitting for a few families in my neighborhood, and over the years, that circle has grown into a wider network of trusted clients. Through these experiences, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a bit more attention and patience. I’m comfortable handling the full spectrum of care, whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, or just providing some company. I’m a student in Baltimore with a light class schedule, so I have lots of free time during the week and weekends to fit in walks, potty breaks, and visits. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I’m happy to work around your schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort. I follow all instructions closely, keep a clean and secure environment, and treat each home with respect. My goal is to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away.

“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.”

About: I am a proud dog mama to a hound mix named Roxie. I have volunteered at Richmond SPCA, Richmond Animal Care and Control, and Houlagon’s Rest. I have many years of petsitting experience with both dogs and cats. I have always had a passion for animals, especially dogs! I hope to continue to work with animals in my future endeavors. Their time with me will be filled with belly rubs, lots of kisses, treats, and games! Hope to see you and your pet(s) soon! I work a full-time job Monday–Thursday, but am off and available Fridays and weekends. I look forward to spending that time giving your pets lots of attention and care. I want your pet’s experience to be as comfortable as possible. I know it can be a stressful and scary experience leaving them while you’re away, so I strive to make it any easy transition. If you want a meet and greet beforehand, I am always willing to do that!

About: Hi! I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule to accommodate your busy life. I offer reliable and trustworthy pet care services, ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so you can count on plenty of patience and special attention for your fur babies. Whether through regular walks, playtime, or feeding routines, I provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I especially love going on walks and spending time outdoors. From pet owners, I prioritize clear communication in order to meet expectations, maintain consistency, and bring peace of mind. My routine is centered around my class schedule. I am free to prioritize sitting on the majority of weekends, so that’s my main source of availability. On weekdays, I’m generally open early mornings and evenings after 5:30. Quick visits throughout the day may be possible, depending on the location, so just reach out with the details and we can coordinate. As a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience, I ensure your four-legged friend remains happy and healthy. I pay close attention to body language to know when it’s playtime or if space is needed. I always respect boundaries, though I am also adept at implementing discipline at the owner’s discretion if necessary. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality as well as their favorite toys or games is the best part of the experience for me. Look forward to receiving photo and video updates of your babies while under my care. My method of sitting revolves around specific instructions from the owner regarding their pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements.

“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”

About: I’ve had 3 terriers since I was boy and have looked after them my whole life. I’ve also pet sat for my neighbours so I know how to deal with all types of pets. I’m currently enrolled at Emory university but am here for the summer and have lots of free time. I’m looking for work but have a very flexible schedule and can work meet your needs. I’m gentle and playful with dogs and want them to feel safe while also having fun. I’ll always listen to what I’m told by the owners and will take great care of them.

“Taking care of my babies well!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, taken care of them from newborn to senior age and love them all equally! Looking forward to being around some pups! I lived in Jackson Hole Wyoming after graduating from The University of Alabama in May 2024. I just moved home to Richmond so I am currently in-between jobs so schedule is wide open! I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, exercised safely, given plenty of attention, and kept comfortable and clean. In clients’ homes, I respect their space, follow all instructions carefully, and provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

“Andreea is always on time and our dog loves his walks with her. She sends plenty of pictures and videos of the walks so you know how your dog is doing. Highly recommend.”

“Carolyn is a reliable drop-in/walker for our 5yo boxer keeping us informed with pics of our happy pup.”

Mark W.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.

“Brandi was so great with my dogs while I was away. She sent me a detailed report about their behaviors while on their walk. I received multiple great pictures of my babies attached to the report and it made me feel so much better while I was away. As someone who is a first time user of Rover, I am so glad to have found someone who is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to help in any way she can. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone who loves their furbabies”
