House Sitting Paver Park

“Recently traveled out of state, and had to scramble to find a sitter for my dog and cat. Having never used a service like Rover I rightfully skeptical. I am so happy I connected with Devynn, from the first moment I met her I felt at ease about the decision, and I could tell my dog Peggy, cat Stella felt the same. Devynn kept me posted with photos the whole time and was super communicative, it was very apparent she looked after them like they were her own! Thank you again Devynn 😊”

About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and bunnies, caretaking has always been second nature to me. As a former teacher, I am now leaning fully into my true passion, and bringing comfort and happiness to pets gives me so much genuine joy. Whether your family member is a high-energy pup, an independent cat, or a gentle senior who needs a patient touch and daily medication, I treat them with the exact same structure, love, and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to keep your furry best friends safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you're away! Because my other part-time commitments total only 6 hours a week, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time to focus entirely on caring for your pets! Here is exactly when I am briefly away each week: Weekday Evenings (2 total): At a gym, I coach a few adult workout classes in the evenings. Sunday Mornings: I teach Sunday school to preschoolers for a brief session. Outside of these short windows, my days are completely open. This minimal schedule allows me to offer highly attentive, consistent care, adapt easily to your pet's normal routine, and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day! Whether welcoming a pet into my home or staying at yours, safety and clear structure are my top priorities. My home is a pet loving environment shared with my friendly dog and two cats. To ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable, I utilize sturdy pet gates to easily separate animals for quiet time or feeding, and I am more than happy to accommodate crating upon request. Because my part-time jobs take up only 6 hours a week, pets in my care receive constant supervision and a highly consistent routine. As a former educator, I am meticulous about following your exact instructions, maintaining strict safety boundaries, and keeping you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, respected, and thoroughly loved.

“Rabekah was fabulous. Responded quickly and professionally to all communications, very sweet with our dogs, and went above and beyond in so many ways. We have one difficult dog that she won over quickly, and was patient with any additional needs. Will definitely book again.”

“Christina went above and beyond while caring for my pup, Mowgli. She sent me so many cute photos while I was gone and it really made me feel like he was being adored. When I returned from my trip, she had changed the sheets on the bed and replaced them with clean ones. It was such a nice touch and made it seamless for me to go to sleep after a long day of travel. I already rebooked her next visit!”

“Sara was a great, loving partner for our Wheaton Terrier while we were away. She communicated regularly and administered ear drops for an ear infection diagnosed right before our departure. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’ve raised puppies—like my sweet girl River, who I had from 8 weeks old to 3 years—I’ve grown to love the rhythm and bond that comes with dogs at every stage of life. What sets me apart is a deep sense of patience, attentiveness, and love that comes from years of hands-on experience. I’m especially comfortable with routines, emotional needs, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, mellow, senior, or somewhere in between, I show up with calm energy, genuine care, and a heart full of love for every pup I meet. I currently work remote so I have the flexibility to go on walks during the afternoon, evening, early morning or whenever they need to go out! I’m currently in an house with no other pets. I have plenty of room for them to hangout and feel safe. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddles and walks.

“My impression is that dogs love being around Sam. Sam is very reliable, accommodating and responsible person. Also she has great understanding of pet’s needs and takes actions accordingly. It’s a fantastic quality when you can be sure that dog sitter would be able to anticipate your pet needs when you are away.”

“Extremely grateful for Carolina. Worked around my schedule last minute to watch my dog in my house for a week. Dependable, responsible, and trustworthy. Added bonus of also being very communicative. Highly recommend”

“Kylie is great. Loves animals and was terrific with Knox. I already booked her for a second time.”

Laura K.

“Brittany did a great job. Our 14 year old Corgi was better than we left. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brittany to anyone who loves their pets.”

Dan S.

“This is the second time Victoria has watched our dogs, and they love her! We are so thankful to have found her so we can go away and not have to worry about the dogs. She’s the best!”

“Stefania has cared for our pets several times… she is awesome! Very attentive, affectionate, reliable and responsive! Will always choose her first!!”

About: Richmond native welcoming fur babies of all shapes & sizes from Chihuahua to Pyrenees! I prefer drop in visits for large dogs and cats and if they like car rides we can go to many dog friendly places! I like to board one pet at a time, or two if they live together for safety reasons. Note: Meet and greets for new clients before booking is required, thanks! I have a part time and available after 3pm to assist. I am available holidays, weekends, and most evenings. Excited to accommodate the needs of your fur babies while you are away! Able to follow all medical guidelines received from pet owners, if any. Certified in pet First Aid/CPR. I have experience giving medications to dogs and cats. Keeping your fur babies hydrated and comfortable while you are away is number one on my list! Crates (fur baby beds) are required for high energy pets. We will go on walks 2-4 times a day. 🐕‍🦺🚶‍♀️

“Perfect. Very helpful!”

“Debbie took great care of Moxie. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter, but Debbie put me right at ease. Her two dogs are sweet and calm and it was great for Moxie to have companions. If your dog is nervous, she has ways to keep them separated. I appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos and reassurance so I could relax and enjoy my business trip. I will definitely leave Moxie in Debbie's care again.”

Donna C.

“Daelia was extremely friendly and accommodating as it was a last minute booking. She spent a great deal of time with Liberty and we couldn’t have been happier! Would highly recommend and we will use her again!”

Edwin V.

“Genie did a great job taking care of Susa. She very kindly arrived earlier when we realized the concert started earlier then we had thought. We recommend Genie and will use her help again!”

“Cant say enough how happy we are with Emma. We have an 11.5 yr old boxer very high anxiety and on many prescriptions daily. We have been unable to travel without worry while we are gone due to his anxiety causing medical issues. He did GREAT with Emma. Not only was she great with him but she also took care of our 2 bunnies 4 fish and bearded dragon. We couldn’t be happier and will be using her again.”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about making both pets and owners feel comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home with someone else, and I treat that responsibility with a lot of care. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to the little details that help pets feel secure, from keeping their routine consistent to giving them the right mix of affection, space, and structure. I also write everything down and make sure I have the routine down to a T. I’m comfortable with pets who have different personalities and needs, whether they’re shy, anxious, energetic, senior, or still learning the rules. I have been around large dogs as well as smaller dogs and cats all my life. I can comfortably handle all sizes of pets. I follow instructions closely, communicate clearly, and always try to care for pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. I pride myself on being deeply organized and always giving 100 percent, as well as being an open communicator. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Pet care fits well into my current daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and am able to plan my day around each pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know consistency can make a big difference, especially when their owner is away. I care for pets in their own home because I know many pets feel safest and most comfortable in a familiar environment. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the space with the same respect and care I would want from someone caring for my own home. Safety and trust are very important to me. I’m very mindful of each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want attention and playtime right away, while others need patience, space, and a calm presence. I do my best to meet each pet where they are and keep their routine as normal as possible. I also take caring for someone’s home seriously. I keep things clean, tidy up after pets, respect the client’s space, and communicate clearly if I notice anything unusual.

“Our first experience with Rover, and with having someone -other than family- care for our (very needy) bengal kitty. I’m happy to say, Erin was great! She made us feel completely at ease leaving her alone in our home with Desmond. Desi loved her and looked for her after she left :( She is intuitive, cares a great deal and was super communicative, sending texts regularly, which was very much appreciated. We would absolutely call on Erin any time we need a sitter!”
