House Sitting North Richmond

“Bonnie is an absolute DREAM. My Pom is very reactive and needy, and she was not phased and also improved his behavior while I was away. She followed my instructions, was extremely communicative, and sent me so many cute photos and videos (including an adorable video set to a Pomeranian theme song!!!) I love Bonnie, feel like she is part of my Poms family now, and trust her 100% with my baby. Louie loves her! I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Mason is an AMAZING dog sitter. He stayed with our dog Harley for about 10 days over the holiday break. He took great care of her AND of our house. He's responsible, responsive, and Harley loved him. Here's all the proof you need: Mason stopped by our house the day after we got back from our vacation. When Harley saw him at the door, she ran to him, started spinning circles, wagging her tail and then cuddled up to him like he was family. I highly recommend Mason and plan on working with him again. Harley is usually suspicious of new people but instantly took to Mason at the meet and greet. While we were away, he took her on lots of walks both in the neighborhood and around Tilden Park. Harley can be reactive to other dogs, but Mason had good strategies for dealing with it on these walks -- he's clearly experienced and knew exactly what to do. He also played fetch and rope tug in our back yard, and took care of her daily meds as well. Mason sent us photos each day, responded quickly when we texted him through the app, and when our return flight was delayed, he agreed to stay a few extra hours. When we got home, the house was sparkling clean, just as we left it. What more could you ask for? Thanks Mason!”

“Jojo is so good with animals! We have a difficult dog and she made it work. Great end of day updates. On time, responsive, all around amazing. Would have her sit again.”

“Rachael was AMAZING! Your fur babies are in great hands with her. She was extremely attentive to all the special care our senior kitty needed, was quick to reply and easy to get ahold of, and did a fantastic job with all the little extra house tasks while we were away for a few days. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“Sofia was a delight to work with! She took great care of our Oliver who is admittedly not always the quickest to warm up to people. Sofia provided great updates, and also took great care of our house. We would love to have her pet sit for Oliver again!”

Lilly P.

“Rachelle is prompt and responsive! She's very pleasant to deal with, she pet sat our dog for 2.5 days in our home while we were away. My pup was very calm and relaxed when i came home, which was great, since he can be very anxious at times. I will definitely contact her again, the next time we need to be away from home!”

Leslie F.

“Elizabeth did a great job. She's very responsive, sent pictures and video of her time with our dog each day. We will absolutely using her in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Jasmarie took such good care of my pups and home while we were away! She was responsive and communicative which I really appreciated.”

“I really appreciated Max’s communication and attention to details. He took excellent care of my senior doggie and my younger one meeting both of their needs. Thank you Max!”

“Harold is an exceptional dog sitter! From the moment he met out pup, his warmth and genuine love for animals were evident. He provided top-notch care, ensuring our dog was happy, well-fed, and entertained throughout the day. Harold's reliability and communication gave us complete peace of mind. We received regular updates and adorable photos, showing our dog having the time of his life. It's clear that Harold goes above and beyond to make every dog feel loved and secure. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

About: I’ve worked cared for high-energy breeds, shy rescues, senior dogs with mobility issues, and everything in between. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or administering meds, I’m here to keep your pet happy, healthy, and safe. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time for walks and visits. My pup is a rescue and is reactive to other dogs, so I can’t offer boarding at this time. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I respect your space, follow all routines closely, and keep things calm, clean, and stress-free. I’ll provide plenty of affection, playtime, and updates, so you always know your pet is in good hands. I don’t offer care in my own home due to my own rescue dog’s reactivity.

“We joined Rover hoping to connect with someone who is kind, responsible, caring about animals and above all, patient, who we could forge a relationship with that would be durable for the long-term. Ikeena has all of these qualities. As a family that travels regularly, whose family and friends have generally all grown-out of the idea of a week at our place as a mini-getaway, we are so thrilled to have connected with her. We got to know each other over zoom and some schedule walks and impromptu hellos and Ikeena dealt with our nerves of building trust with aplomb. Never were we made to feel silly for wanting to meet again or another walk or for having a several pages long doc about staying at our house and caring for our sweet little brown boy, Chicks. During her recent stay here we barely worried about a thing. Ikeena kept in touch with us regularly and Chicks seriously enjoyed being not just cared for, but spoiled by her. She went above and beyond!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, horses, cats, fish and other animals for decades, both professionally and for friends and family. I currently have 2 Jack Russell’s. I am retired and my time is my own, and very flexible. Dogs are a great fit for my daily hiking routine and my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a clients home I follow their instructions to the letter. At my home pets have access to the entire house.

“I think my dog was disappointed when I came back! Laurena couldn't have done a better job taking care of her. Excellent communication, reliable, and thoughtful.”

Susan T.

“This was our first experience with Rover, and we are very pleased with Patti. She loves kitties, which became clear when they met her. Patti is caring, responsible, prompt, attentive and knowledgeable regarding caring for pets while away. She bonded quickly with our oldest cat Ada who cuddled with her at night and maintained the distance between Ada and the other two young kitties Jack and Maya as requested. She paid attention to the instructions we left for her to follow, and helped us feel confident in our selection, especially with photos. We are totally pleased with Patti and the wonderful care she provided. We look forward to the opportunity to use her services in the future.”

“Brady is the best! He's super communicative and provided regular updates on my two pups. One of my dogs is incredibly anxious and Brady has been great with him, which put me at ease while I was away. I will absolutely continue booking with Brady!”

Kristy R.

“Mehak did a great job with Tao and Widget. She communicates well and is proactive. When I returned from my trip the house was spotless and my pets appeared to be content and well-cared for. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Courtney and her husband were amazing! They stepped up so willingly when I was at a loss of finding someone to be with my kitty, Boroka when I had to travel unexpectedly to see a family member on end of life care. Courtney was very kind and thoughtful in her communication, flexible with timing and she took very good care of my cat and my houseplants. I arrived home to a settled and happy kitty and a wonderfully clean house. I cannot recommend her more!!”
