“Kade made my first experience with Rover a pleasant one! She followed every instruction and sent me the cutest photos! Milo had a great time on his walk and we will definitely use Kade again!”


2. Devinder K.

“Devinder has helped us a couple of times while we were on vacation. He is reliable and I feel that my doggies are well care for while I am away.”


3. Kaylee K.
“If you’re lucky enough to book with her, your pet is in the best hands possible. She’s not just a natural with animals—she’s a deeply attentive, loving, and intuitive caregiver. From early morning walks to late-night cuddles, she makes sure each one of them feels safe, happy, and genuinely loved. She’s the kind of person who notices the tiniest changes in their behavior, adjusts their care if they seem off, and never cuts corners. Whether it’s giving medications, preparing a special diet, or just spending extra time with a shy or anxious pet, she meets each animal where they are with patience and compassion. She’s also incredibly responsible and communicative. You’ll get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for like family.”

5. Tess W.

“Tess was one of the best walkers I have found on Rover. Her communication was great and always sent pictures. She is definitely at the top of my list if I need to book a walker in the future! 10/10 recommend!”


6. Kristen C.

“Kristen did a great job walking Bo this weekend. She communicated every time and even let me add on an extra day. We would definitely use her again!”

8. Sophie M.

“Sophie was great with Chef! Quickly responded to messages and gave Chef a great long walk even on a gloomy day. She was very detail oriented and gave great care to our big guy. Would love to have her spend time with Chef again.”


9. Amanda M.


“Amanda did an awesome job walking my dog Bosco! She was great at communicating over the app and really managed to win over my nervous dog. I would 100% have her watch my pets again!”


10. Lila D.


“Lila was a joy, and the relief I needed in my busy work week! I have never used Rover before, but booked her for a week of walks when I was in a scheduling pinch. She was very reliable, arriving right on time each day, and provided me a fun summary of my dogs’ demeanors...and was always very pleasant (even though I’m sure my puppy was a handful at times!). Thanks so much Lila, I would highly recommend you.”


11. Sarah J.

“Sarah is great to work with! She is very responsive, professional, and kind. She takes great care of my pup on walks and is a great communicator. Very glad to have found her!”


12. Sydney G.

“Sydney was amazing with my sweet dog PJ. I came to Richmond from out of town for a few days and was grateful to coordinate several dog walks with Sydney. PJ is not a city dog, so I was a little hesitant on how best to handle downtown Richmond. Sydney knows the area well as a VCU student, and she was able to find green space and waterfront walks for PJ. She also did well to secure arrangements with me on short notice. I will certainly reach out to her again on my next visit to Richmond. Thanks Sydney!”


13. Abigail W.
“I can't recommend Abby enough as a dog sitter and walker. She's incredibly responsible, flexible, and kind - qualities that made her an ideal caregiver for my two dogs. During the week she watched them, she was consistently reliable and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was clear, thoughtful, and always proactive - exactly what you want when someone's taking care of your pets and home.”


14. Amy D.

“Amy and Cooper seem to hit it off since meeting last week. Amy is very responsible and pays attention to detail. She always comes ready to give Cooper a fun time on outings!”


15. Makenzie O.
“Mackenzie is a wonderful and loving pet owner and I know she would treat your pets as she would her own! We have been friends for years and Mak is extremely caring, tentative, and enjoyable. She would be great to watch your pets!!”


16. Kyle S.
“Kyle is great! He is lovely with my 3 year old Yorkie - lots of snuggles, walks, and playtime. Treats her as if she were his own. Highly recommend!”


17. Chloe W.

“Chloe was great! She was able to come by just two days prior to when I needed her to walk my dog for a meet and greet. I could tell that she had great experience with dogs and felt very confident having her give my dog a potty break when I was going to be out for the day. Her Communication while I was gone was great and I would definitely use her again!”


18. Talia C.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.


19. Elise F.
“Elise has the biggest heart and was born an animal lover. While growing up, Elise faithfully took care of her family kitty and puppy, and also helped many other families with pet care. She also had pet birds and a sweet leopard gecko as a child, and is comfortable with all kinds of animals. Now she is the adoring mother of two sweet little cats. Elise has a masters degree in environmental science from UVA, she is incredibly dependable, and cares deeply for our earth and all its critters.”


20. Hannah H.

“Hannah walked my boy every day for 9 days when I was out of town. They walked for an hour every day and it was great! He really enjoys his long walks and Hannah made sure he had a great time. She is reliable and sent me great notes and pics every day.”
