“Paula was OUTSTANDING!!! Full reports and details each visit and our pet crew adored her!! We will most definitely use Paula again anytime we need pet services! It says a lot about her as our dogs , who normally bark at someone new in our home, greeted her whole heartedly with nothing g but tails wagging and wanting to play with her!! THANK YOU PAULA!!”


“Lindsey was great! She kept us up to date with pictures of our dog throughout the day. Made me feel much better about leaving Dex behind he was in great hands. Highly recommend her!”


“Oh my goodness Kim is a phenomenal cat sitter!! We came back from a 6 day trip and our picky senior cats acted like we’d never been gone. She sent great pics of them each day so I could see all the love and attention they were getting. Kim was also kind enough to handle mail and packages, and even left us a lovely welcome home treat. We’ve had mixed experiences with others in the past and it’s comforting to find someone who treats your pets and home so thoughtfully. So glad we found her!”


About: Growing up, my family always had pets in the house so I've been an animal lover literally since the day I was born! Since I was around 12 years old, I have been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for friends and family, so I have roughly 15 years of experience caring for other people's furry and scaly family members! I've personally had dogs, cats, and guinea pigs all throughout my life and I've also helped roommates and neighbors care for pets of all kinds. Over the years, I've learned how to feed, administer medications, and recognize behavior patterns for all the animals I've cared for and am always eager to learn more! I currently have a senior, rescue pup named Ravioli and a 7 year old guinea pig named Stitch. My pets are my world, so I understand the need to find quality, reliable care for your babies and would love to provide that peace of mind for you. I'm currently an art teacher at a local public high school and previously worked as a playroom attendant at a doggie daycare for 3 years. Because of this, I have a lot of experience working with dogs of all ages/sizes/breeds/temperaments and have learned a lot about dog behavior, basic first aid, and standard "spa" treatment like bathing, nail, ear, and teeth care. From shy and anxious to bouncing off the walls with excitement, I've worked with and loved them all, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in great hands! I also worked as a summer camp director and instructor for over 5 years, teaching classes that include small animal care, outdoor adventure skills, and swim and water safety among other things. I am first aid certified and LOVE to go on adventures outdoors, especially with a pup or two in tow! I'm more than happy to meet your pet at the activity level that best fits them, whether that means going on long, exciting walks or lounging in the shade! All that to say, I've never met an animal that I didn't love, so I would love to meet you and your pets, no matter their size or species! I am currently a full time art teacher at a local public high school, so I am currently out on summer break and looking for ways to fill my time. Until school starts back, I am available at almost any day at any time to check in on your pets or take them for walks! While I don't offer services in my own home, I would be happy to check in on your pets in your home! I've been a pet sitter/walker since I was 12 years old, so I have a lot of experience working with pets in other people's homes. The safety of your pets and home are of utmost importance to me! I always double and triple check that all crates/cages and doors are locked, and all else restored to its original state prior to leaving. This includes refilling food and water if needed, turning on or off lights to your preference, and cleaning up after pets should any accidents occur. I am also happy to transport pets in my car to go to appointments, daycare, or on fun adventures! I keep my vehicle clean and orderly at all times, so there is limited opportunity for pets to get into something they shouldn't. I also ensure your pets' safety by making sure they are safely secured before starting the vehicle and by driving with caution and control at all times.

“These two are fantastic! Our dogs were so well taken care of and their communication is perfect! They go above and beyond and we can’t wait to use them again!”


“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”


“This was my first house sitting appointment with Rover and Heather. Heather came by and introduced herself before the appointment to get acquainted. Ziggy and Luna were very happy to meet her and she got along with them great. They were taken care of while I was out of town and it was nice knowing some one loving to animals was caring for mine.”


About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home.

About: With many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I bring a unique combination of professional training and genuine passion to every sit.

About: Hello! My name is Kate and I want to meet your pet! I have a seven year old Australian Shepherd who might be the love of my life (don't tell my husband!) I have grown up around dogs but have also taken care of cats and guinea pigs. In all seriousness, I live in the Goochland/Short Pump area and offer pet walking during the day. I'm a super active person who works from home and has the time to commit to make sure your pet is well taken care of! My first dog (a Westie) lived to be almost 17 and by the end of his life, needed a variety of medicines throughout the day and so that is another service that I can offer. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I work from home starting late morning and also typically go to the park everyday after work (depending on the weather). I am available before work, during lunch, and after work. I make sure that your pet has plenty of water and play time before I leave the visit! I always make sure your pet is comfortable and we can play as much as they want!

“We discovered a last-minute "oops" in our planning: Ms. Kelly was quick to respond to my message and happily available for our two furballs. She wasn't thrown off by the myriad of information we always leave for the animals, and everyone was well taken care of when we arrived home. Thank you for being their for our kids!”



“Alexandra took such good care of my brand new puppy and was such a good sport. Can’t express how thankful I am for how much help she was. My pup loved her and it was awesome to find someone I could trust entirely!”

“Sarah was perfect for my babies. Felt good knowing that they were taken care of while we were gone. Her Rover Cards are so detailed and the pics were such a treat. Great communication and very accommodating. Sarah, stay on standby because we will call on you again! ☺️”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was seven years old. My family had two kittens that I cared for and I was responsible for pet sitting other fur babies in the neighborhood growing up. I also attended many animal science/nature camps growing up, it’s where I got my first hermit crab! I also know the Heimlich maneuver for both cats and dogs. In my junior year of high school I applied and was accepted to the HOSA veterinary science program where I graduated in the National Honors Society. Shortly after graduation, I started working at a veterinary hospital as a veterinary assistant. My job was to help restrain animals for exams/shots, organize medications, prepare/read fecal slides and determine if intestinal parasites are present, collect urine samples, and provide basic care. Overall I have had personal experience caring for dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, goats, horses, hamsters, chickens/chicks, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, ferrets, chinchillas, birds, lizards, snakes, frogs, turtles, hermit crabs, and axolotls.

I only have classes two days a week on Monday (6 AM - 6 PM) and Tuesday (8:30 AM - 11:15 AM) and work a couple hours 2 evenings a week, but can take off if needed for services. I like to learn about their daily routine and what they like to do for fun so and incorporate those things into our routine while clients are gone, so pets feel safe and relaxed while their family isn’t there.

Katharine C.
“I have known Katharine for over 3 years, first as her government counterpart at a job and now as a friend. She is an incredibly kind and responsible person. She keeps a cool head under pressure, pays attention to details, and is very personable. Katharine takes exceptionally good care of her own pup and provides him with the all the love, exercise, and structure needed for a high energy dog. I own two dogs myself and am quite protective of them; I would entrust them to Katharine any day without hesitation. I have a very senior dog and a one year old fearful dog. Both require different care due to their temperament and ages. Katharine is the kind of person you can trust in this kind of situation knowing that she’ll carry out any instructions while also giving them lots of love and attention. Katharine is one of the best people I have ever known both personally and professionally. My pets are basically my kids and I know that is true for many people. Katharine is the ideal person to lay your trust in for anything. She would be an excellent caregiver to any dog.”
