1. Kade M.


“Kade was SO great with Kelso! This was my first time using Rover and I felt so much better knowing my pup was in good hands. Kade is very communicative, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond - taking a package in and making sure my pup Kelso has enough water. Definitely recommend!!”


2. Devinder K.

“Devinder was great! He was punctual, provided a great report and was very communicative. My pup seemed happy and refreshed when I got home. We will definitely be calling him again!”


3. Kaylee K.
“I can’t recommend Kaylee highly enough! She has been my go-to sitter for a couple years now. Kaylee is so good with my cats and it is clear how much she genuinely cares for animals. Kaylee will take great care of your pet while you’re away—she is so good at communicating, sending regular updates, adorable photos, and making sure every little need is met. It always gives me such peace of mind knowing my babies are not only safe and care for, but truly loved and spoiled! She is awesome!”

“Tess was very quick to jump onboard with my dog. She treated her like a true queen and ensured communication was clear. Thank you so much Tess :)”


5. 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!”


6. 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!”

“This was our first time booking with Nevaeh. It was easy to set up walks and they went smoothly. Thank you.”

9. Amy D.

“Amy was great with my baby! She was so kind, gentle, and I know Kai gets a good walk in when he is tired when I get home. Always a plus after a long day at work am I right?! She is punctual and has great communication! I would def recommend her!”

“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!”


11. Makenzie O.
“Makenzie is an excellent animal caretaker, and a huge animal lover. She personally has two cats who she loves very much, and takes very good care of them. She is our go-to pet sitter when we are away, she is experienced with both cats and dogs. We have complete confidence in Makenzie, we know our pets are always in great hands with her, and we would highly recommend her to others. Makenzie is FIVE STARS all the way and will take great care of your fur babies.”


12. 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!”


13. Maggie G.


“Maggie has been great. My dogs get nervous around strangers and absolutely loved her from the getgo.”


14. Aidan T.
“Aidan loves animals and began pet-sitting for several neighbors’ pets when he was in middle school. He was and still is very responsible, and our neighbors continued to ask him to watch their pets throughout his high school days. He always went the extra mile, ensuring the animals received the utmost care and attention. Aidan is a kind and trustworthy college senior now, and any pet under his care will be treated well (and according to the pet owners’ requests). You can count on him!”


15. Mariah C.
