“I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.”
“Oli is wonderful! Our pups need special care (one is a blind tripawd and the other wears shoes for all outings) and Oli did an excellent job caring for them - keeping up with all of their special needs, medications, and of course giving them lots of love.”
“After a few negative experiences with other sitters on Rover were so relieved to have found Kathleen. She was amazing with our pup, a great communicator and we returned home to a clean house and happy dog. We’ll certainly request to use her again!”
“Kathryn is great and we'll definitely use her again. She sent us lots of updates and pictures. And it was clear from the pictures that my pup was getting lots of TLC and exercise.”
“Holly was extremely accommodating as my schedule kept changing. She cared for my 3 babies just as we would. We are very happy to have found a reliable sitter!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! She took such amazing care of my Frenchie while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knew exactly how to handle my pup’s quirky personality and needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which totally put my mind at ease. My Frenchie came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled—in the best way! I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”

“Katherine was wonderful! I hired her last minute and she was very accommodating to my schedule. She took great care of my dog and I would definitely hire her again in the future ?”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a mom who worked in the Richmond Animal Shelter & a house full of adopted animals. From my sisters spoiled Pibble baby to my neighbors sweet little Yorkie, I’ve been their go to sitter/walker to watch their babies because they know I’ll love on them like my own fur babies 💕 I love to do Meet & Greets prior to your baby’s walk/drop-in if feasible. Coko & I are available Saturdays & Sundays for Meet & Greets! I am a mom of 3 & we have a Shih-poo named Coko. My babies have all grown up around family dogs and understand to be gentle with fur babies. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly so I’m sure we’ll meet a friend or two on ours walks.
“We were so happy to have Rose stay and care for our dog and cat while we were away. She gave us regular updates and sent pictures. The pets love her! Everything looked great when we returned.”
“Lynne was a great house sitter and did an excellent job taking care of our fur baby. She shared photos every day and even left a sweet message to welcome us home. It was comforting knowing our geriatric lab had company, especially in the evening, while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Lynne and look forward to rebooking with her in the future!”
“Amber and Olivia were fantastic with Koda and Lulu. Came home to a straightened house with the sheets in the dryer. It’s wonderful to go on vacation knowing your fur babies are being well taken care of. They also checked in and sent fun’s pics. I will definitely book again!”
“Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.”
“Kyla was so incredible! She sent frequent updates throughout the weekend and gave me such peace of mind while I was away from my pet! Can't recommend her enough!”
“There are not enough stars to review for Jessica, she gets them ALL!! She was truly an absolute blessing. We felt included in all the fun they had during her stay. We received photos and videos, and just knew our pup was having the best time. Jessica was so kind & comfortable. She made sure to let us know each time she fed our babe & took her on walks & other fun adventures. We honestly couldn’t be any happier with our experience.”
