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.

About: I have experience caring for dogs as small as a mini pincher/chihuahua and as big as a bernidoodle. I am willing to make sure your pet has all they need and are well taken care of. I work from home Monday thru Friday. That gives me a lot of flexibility with my time. Saturday and Sunday I typically spend my days at home with the exception of going to the gym in the mornings. I recently moved back into my Richmond home, and have a large backyard that’s perfect for your pet. I have a large backyard that’s perfect for play. We’d spend a lot of time outside on the nice and sunny days. If I need to come to your home, I have a child that loves dogs. He is extremely gentle with them and enjoys their company.

“Aileen took care of our baby while we were on our honeymoon and it put us a so much ease knowing she was in such good hands. Each day that we were gone, I always looked forward to getting new photos of our girl and seeing how happy she was. Aileen is very trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up around dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and even volunteered at an SPCA when I was younger. I’ve been caring for my own dogs since 2015, including my senior pup, Kobe, whom I’ve raised since the day he was born! He was one of my first dog’s puppies, so I’ve had the special experience of caring for a dog through every stage of life, from newborn puppy to senior companion. Today, I’m the proud parent of two dogs, Kobe and Walter. They’ve taught me that every dog has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or older and prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️ As a dog mom of two, pet care is already part of my everyday routine! 🐾 I currently work Tuesday through Friday, but I’m fully available on weekends and Mondays! I’m also available for evening walks and drop-in visits after 4:30 PM Tuesday through Friday. I offer overnight boarding in my home, as well as flexible scheduling for walks and drop-in visits. For boarding, there are two adults in our household who help ensure your pup is fed, walked, cared for, and given plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! For the safety and comfort of all our furry friends, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting any boarding reservations. This gives your pup a chance to meet my two dogs, helps us make sure everyone gets along, and allows us to discuss your pet’s routine, personality, and any special care needs. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs and find a schedule that works for everyone. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my priorities! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! I share my home with two dogs, Kobe and Walter, and understand the importance of proper introductions, respecting boundaries, and giving each dog their own space. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to seniors, and always strive to make each pup feel right at home. When I’m away, dogs are safely crated separately to prevent unsupervised interactions. I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care routines as closely as possible, and provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in loving hands!

“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! She kept me updated regularly and was very accommodating. I highly recommend!!”

About: I have had three dogs of my own, and have been caring for dogs my whole life. Many neighbors and peers have relied on me to provide care for their furry friends! I’m new to the area and just getting started on Rover, so I don’t have client reviews here yet. However, I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy caring for dogs. I’m excited to build relationships with local pets and their owners while providing safe, attentive care every walk and visit. I’m available during my free hours for walks and visits, and I love using that time to stay active and give pets extra attention and care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and aim to keep their routine as comfortable and consistent as possible while you’re away. In your home, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while also providing efficient communication and even photos while you are away!

“Sent lovely photos and cared for our cat who needed medication each visit.”

About: Hello there! I’m Sam. I’ve loved animals since I was 9 years old and have been a pet sitter on Rover for over 4 years now. As you can see from all my reviews, I enjoy being part of this community! Currently, I have two fur babies of my own: Tango, a Norwegian Elkhound, and Scout, a Pitbull/Yorkie mix. In 2024, my beloved Timmy, a dachshund senior dog passed away at 15 years old, so I also have personal experience caring for older dogs who need a little extra love and specialized attention. I know firsthand how important and how difficult it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pets while you're away. I can assure you that your fur baby will be in safe hands with me. A Little Perk: I just got a nice camera and am looking to practice my photography! I am offering free digital pictures with any house-sitting or drop-in booking. I currently work a remote 9-to-5 job with plenty of flexibility, meaning I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet's specific routine and needs throughout the day. I do not offer services in my home since I live in an apartment with my 2 dogs. I have a reliable means of transportation, and I can make any special accomodations for your pets if necessary.

“Margot did a great job! She followed all the instructions, she provided photo updates, and gave our dog lots of attention. She was professional and personable. Ranger loved her and we were at ease knowing our boy was safe and cared for. We appreciated her care and I would recommend her.”

“Fergus (our cat) loves Virginia. He never purrs for anyone the way he purrs for her. When we got home today after being away for several days, my husband heard Fergus meowing through the door before we entered and said to me, "I pretty sure he's meowing 'Virginia! Virginia!' He's going to be so disappointed that it's us!" Virginia is great with Fergus, very kind to us, and has been just a perfect pet sitter.”

“Super warm, met "the kids" ahead of time and made sure she had a thorough understanding of their needs and temperaments. Even played with them, which they seemed to love. I'm very appreciative and would book with Tera again”

About: As a passionate dog lover with over 14 years of hands-on experience, I've had the joy of raising three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. My experience has given me a strong understanding of canine behavior, exercise needs, daily routines, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. As a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, I bring an additional level of patience, compassion, dependability, and attention to detail to my pet care services. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and individual needs. Whether your furry family member needs an enjoyable walk, a potty break, playtime, or companionship while you're away, I'm committed to providing attentive, personalized care. I'll treat your dog with the same love, kindness, and respect I give my own! My goal is simple: happy dogs and peace of mind for their owners! As a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant working PRN in home health, I enjoy the flexibility of creating and managing my own weekly schedule. This allows me to incorporate dog walking and drop-in visits into my routine while balancing my patient care responsibilities. Because I coordinate my appointments in advance, I kindly request at least 48 hours' notice when booking pet care services. My schedule varies weekly, but I do my best to accommodate your needs and provide dependable, personalized care for your furry family members! Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities! With over 14 years of experience raising and caring for my own dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines and providing a safe, comfortable environment. During walks and drop-in visits, I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. My professional healthcare background has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and ability to recognize changes in behavior or well-being. I treat every pet with the same love and compassion I give my own, while always respecting your home and providing updates for your peace of mind!

“Having Robin as my pet sitter when I was out of town gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure my two cats were fed, had clean water and litter boxes, and had play time and snuggles! My cat Leo got a UTI right before my trip and had to be on medication. It was such a relief to know that I had already set up for Robin to be there each day so she could give him his pill. She provided me with detailed notes on how the cats were doing and pictures every day. I felt like she cared for my pets as if they were her own and I am so grateful. I would definitely trust Robin with my pets in the future!”

About: I have grown up around, and taking care of animals all my life. One of my favorite quotes speaks dearly to me and is very true; " A house is never lonely where a loving dog waits." I whole-heartedly believe in making your fur babies feel comfortable and loved and reassured while you are away; from snuggles, play time, walks and pictures and updates to you. I have experience being around different types of dog breeds from working in the veterinary field, and having dogs as pets, and family members / friends with dogs. My own dog breeds consisted of a Wolf, a Husky, Jack Russell and Aussie mix and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Cavachon mix. My Aussie Mix was rescued from the Southside SPCA when he was 1yrs old; he is now 2 and a half yrs; the Cavachon mix was given to me because the owner did not want him anymore. My dogs are my world! ( I am that person that takes thousands of pictures of my dogs and spoils them rotten lol). I will make sure to treat your fur babies the same way and keep them safe. If you have any questions feel free to message me; I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently live in Chesterfield, VA and I am flexible with areas I will serve. I work full time but always make time around my schedule to cater to my own dogs and my clients. I do my best to manage my schedule, I love dogs so much and always have, I do what it takes to make it work. Being around dogs makes my day better so if I can help someone feel better about leaving their dog at home or needing services, I am happy to help because I know how I feel about my own dogs and would treat my clients dogs with the same love and care. Depending on the needs of the dog and temperment I will keep the dogs together or divided from each other as I cater to their needs. I make sure to follow through on the safety of your pet as well as my own. I always read the dogs body language and never force a situation.

About: My partner and I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. We carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We’re comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. Our focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. My specialty is organization and structure, my partner specializes in socialization and behavioral management. Pet care is part of our daily life. Someone is home throughout the day. We organize our schedule around the dogs in our care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. We have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside we provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place for them to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in our home or a client’s home, we focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. We follow established routines, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with pets. I had my own dog in Colombia for 7 years and also cared for a family’s dog for 4 years while working as a nanny. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving pets attention, and keeping their routines consistent. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like family. I also have experience caring for cats and currently share my home with two cats I work during the day, but I’m available for pet visits in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’ll make sure your pets receive the attention and care they need while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and following each pet’s individual routine and instructions. I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks and playtime for dogs, litter box care for cats, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep your home secure and send updates so you know your pets are safe and happy.

“Julissa came for late-night check-ins when our elderly husky needed to be let out. We're so grateful she could help our aging old man and brave the country roads after dark! Our dogs were blessed by her care!”
