“We couldn’t be happier with the care our quirky dogs received! Catherine did a fantastic job and was incredibly patient with both of them, taking the time to understand their individual needs. She kept us updated throughout, so we always knew our pets were in good hands. We highly recommend Catherine!”

“Holland was A B S O L U T E L Y wonderful, this was my first Rover experience, and I couldn't be happier. The photos & reviews she gave were detailed and joyful, I can tell my baby was well cared for and enjoyed her time with Holland. I will definitely be using her services again !”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my own golden retriever, Sunny, since he was a puppy. Sunny is now 5 years old, well-behaved, and friendly with other pets. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment for dogs of all temperaments. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I walk Sunny twice daily—morning and evening—and love spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. I live in a one-level ranch-style home with a fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly. Sunny is gentle and social, making him a great companion for visiting pets. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their comfort and safety.
“Kay was a wonderful sitter for my three cats for my last minute trip out of town. The photos and notes she left in her reports made it obvious she was paying attention to each of their very different personalities and preferences and that even my very human-selective older cat was comfortable with her. If she is available, I will absolutely hire her again.”

About: I've grown up with lots of dogs in my house, and I've been sitting for over 6 years. From French Basset Hounds to Great Danes, I love taking care of dogs!! I am a 21 year old college student at VCU. As of right now, I have classes and club swim taking up my schedule, but I am available to walk and let out dogs during the week/weekend. I follow whatever instructions the owners give me. I always make sure the dogs I am looking after feel safe. Dogs have great emotional awareness, and my goal is to establish a sense of trust with the animal.
“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”

“Margaret gave me peace of mind while I was away by taking great care of my kitty. She followed instructions and best of all communicated so quickly! Loved the detailed updates. I can 100% recommend her care.”

“Camryn was so great and able to watch Elvis last minute for me ! She was so caring and made sure he was treated just as I would for her drop in. highly recommend , thank you !!”

About: From pint-sized 5lb Yorkies with fabulous hair to giant 130lb Goldens with a fluffy tail. I’ve loved and cared for them all! I adapt to every pup’s vibe: ready to hit the trail for a run, wander the park for a sniff-filled stroll, or curl up under a cozy blanket for cuddle time. As a true outdoors lover, I’m happiest when tails are wagging, noses are twitching, and pups feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work from home MWF and off on the weekends , so your dog will have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband and I are active and love going on walks, exploring parks, and enjoying outdoor adventures. Perfect opportunities for your pup to join in on the fun. Whether it’s morning playtime, mid-day potty breaks, or evening strolls, we make sure pets are engaged, exercised, and happy. Of course, we also love cozy downtime, so there’s always space for blanket cuddles and belly rubs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, with a balance of activity, companionship, and comfort. In your home, we stick to all your guidelines and expectations, making sure everything stays secure and exactly as we found it. At our house, we ask that pups are potty trained since we have carpet upstairs, but don’t worry, I work from home, so your dog can enjoy frequent trips to our fenced backyard for playtime, potty breaks, or fresh-air fun. Whether at your home or ours, your pup will get lots of love, attention, and wag-worthy adventures!
“Le’Yana has twice provided excellent care for our animals. She is communicative and reliable. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for quality petcare!”

“Catherine cared for my my baby while I was on vacation. I was nervous to leave them home alone for the first time while on vacation. Her pictures made me feel better knowing they were cared for in a timely manner. I will use Catherine for future drop in needs.”

“Ashley was amazing!! She sent lots of cute pics of the kitties and sent a nice note of everything she did while she was there!! Will definitely book with her next time!”

“Kallie was a great sitter. She was able to connect quickly with me when I had to go out of town last minute. Ragnar was well taken care of. Would recommend her to folks looking for a pet sitter and would use her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Colby. I grew up with dogs and have been involved with them most of my life. For me, dogs have always been my best friends. I have over 25 years of experience working in animal shelters, pet-sitting, behavior training, walking, hiking and exercising dogs. I live in a home with my wife and our 8 year old black lab in a fully-fenced yard. I’ll only take one dog at a time, so your dog will be the center of my attention. Feel free to message me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your dog. Great news for you: I don't have a full-time job so I have plenty of flexibility. I'm available throughout the day if your dog needs a meal, potty breaks, walks to the park, or just attention. I live in a fully-fenced, smoke free home welcome to animals! I have an extremely helpful wife, a black lab and 5 chickens. I provide updates and pictures as frequently as you prefer.

“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”

“Jasmine came for every appointment and was flexible when my dates changed last minute. She took great care of my pets, whom I always came home to happy and healthy. I will definitely be rebooking her in the future!”

Kay did a great job checking in on our two cats. One of our cats has some medical needs and she did a good job administering medicine and being incredibly patient with her. She was a great communicator and we felt our girls were well taken care. Kay seems to really care for animals and we happily recommend her.

Emily was amazing! She was very communicative and FaceTimed with us before we left to make us comfortable. She sent us great pictures and was able to get our very shy cat to love her. Highly recommend if you want someone to care about your cats like they are their own!
AJ did a great job caring for our older resident dog and our 3 month old foster puppy. AJ covered feeding both dogs, lots of visits and play-time inside and outside in the yard for the puppy, regular walks for our Janie, and lots of extra care and affection!

Joy is such a wonderful pet sitter! I was so relieved when joy accepted to pet drop in on my hound and cats. Very attentive and responsive. Loves spending time with animals and is a comfort to have looking after your pets! Perfectly on time and doesn't over stay. I trust her 100% with my fur babies. Absolutely will be booking again!
Kaleb saved the day by sitting our kitty pretty last-minute! He was really communicative and put our minds (and hers) at ease even though she was a bit anxious and in a new home. We definitely appreciated the time and care he took with her along with all the photos and updates.
