1. Kade M.


“I was nervous to have to leave my cat alone for an extended period of time but Kade was incredibly communicative, responsive, and kind. They gave my cat tons of attention and affection and I know he was so happy whenever they got to spend time together. I’ll definitely rebook Kade the next time I have to leave for a trip!!”


2. Elijah S.

“As always, Elijah took excellent care of our crew while we were out of time. Excellent with communications and makes an effort to win even the trust of our most skittish cat!”


3. Alyssa S.

“Alyssa was so great! She left timely updates with lots of pictures and I was able to fully relax on my vacation knowing my cats were in good hands!”


4. Jeffrey H.

“This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Jeffrey. He took such great care of our diabetic cat so we could rest easy on vacation.”


5. Alexander S.

“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!”


6. Kay C.

“Kay stepped up when my usual cat sitter cancelled before the Christmas break and really put all of my worries at ease. She is a phenomenally attuned cat sitter and so communicative for any needs she had. Thank you, Kay! Couldn’t have enjoyed my vacation away without you!”


7. Catherine C.

“Cat is an amazing sitter! She takes great care of my puppy and is very accommodating with her times. She is reliable and best buds with my little puppy girl. A must book if you’re looking for somebody to treat your dog like you would!”


8. Alexas G.

“Alexas was a wonderful sitter for my pets while I was away for the holidays! She was able to accommodate a last-minute meet and greet, where she met my cats and took notes on their personalities/feeding schedule. She was very communicative during her drop in visits and even offered to water my plants! I would definitely recommend trusting her with your space and fur babies!”


9. Andrew C.

“Andrew has been by far the best dog walker you could ask for. Always going above and beyond. He literally offered to install the portable AC in my house while I was at work and the AC went out. Leaving Richmond is going to be hard but finding anyone better with my dog will be impossible!”


10. Kathryn T.

“Kathryn patiently engaged with my cats on their terms, gained their trust, and brought them out of their shells. She followed the weirdly specific feeding instructions my one cat requires perfectly. She gave them love and attention, and sent me photos so I would know they were okay. 5 out of 5 stars!”


11. Maria & Luis V.


“Maria and Luis are fantastic pet sitters. Even our very shy cat warmed up to them. We came home to happy cats who got care, play and love while we were away. We will certainly book with them again. Thank you Maria & Luis!”


12. Nick I.

“Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.”


13. Kyle J.

“This was my first time using Rover services. Kyle was fantastic! My pet was well taken care of, my home was just as I left it and the communication from Kyle during my absence was perfect. Not only will I use Rover again; fingers crossed that Kyle will have openings on his schedule for me.”


14. Kiera B.

“Returning client. Great just like before!”


15. Abby L.

“Abby took great care of my weird, shy kitties. One of them even came out of hiding, which usually doesn’t happen with someone she doesn’t know. It really eased my mind to know they were with a reliable, kind person who loves cats. I will be using her again. Thank you, Abby”




16. Anna F.

“Anna was excellent in the care of my pups. She was attentive and affectionate towards them. Anna kept me informed about the dogs and took pictures.”


17. Cindy S.

“Great job! Lucy was so calm and happy when we got home!”


18. Nicole P.

“Nicole is a gem and has been very helpful while checking in on Eli. I absolutely appreciate her service!”


19. Alanna V.

“Alanna Is the best!! She is excellent at communicating, she is punctual, professional, and very responsible. She has a true love for animals and my kitty absolutely adores her. He is always in a way better mood after she has been by. I would highly recommend Alanna for any pet sitting needs!”


20. Ross & Ava T.

“These folks are incredible!! So kind, great with my dog, and very flexible. I’ll be booking again!”
