“Angel did a wonderful job with house sitting/pet sitting for me for a week. Plenty of updates and pictures and clear communication. She went above and beyond for my boys and I am very grateful. I will definitely be using her services in the future and would definitely recommend Angel if you want peace of mind while you're away from your pets.”
“Angie was the best pet sitter we could have ever asked for! She gave several updates a day on our dog and three cats. She also sent many pictures to reassure us that our fur babies were in good hands. This was the first time we left our anxious dog with someone other than my father-in-law, but our pup seemed to warm up to Angie quickly and I knew she was getting the best care! We thought we might need her for an additional night on top of the 5 she already did, and Angie immediately said she would be happy to do it. She left our house clean. We 100% recommend Angie and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I have a lot of experience with animals, mainly dogs. Some of this experience includes boarding, sitting, grooming, walking, showing, fostering, and rescuing.

About: I'm just honest. There's no bullshit here, just a guy who likes dogs and wants a job working with em. I've applied at HELP the Animals, as well. We'll see if they accept my application. I take my brother to school every morning before 8, any time after that, call me/text me and we can work out a time you need your dog taken out/played with/watched while you're not there. I do it all, except for taking them to my house, as it is not pet-friendly. I would like detailed instructions, including hour-by-hour time charts if possible. If you have your dog on a medicine, please notify me and we can set a dosing schedule that fits their needs. Baths and whatnot are fun, so don't be afraid to ask me to give them one. If there are any allergies, such as various types of insects or clothing your dog reacts negatively to, let me know as well and I can accommodate.

About: I've been taking care of my own dogs since I was very young! I work at a dog training and daycare facility full time and have worked with all kinds of breeds. My first dog was a Puggle and I got him sometime in 1st grade. The next dog we got was a French Mastiff! So my experience with dogs is very open. I've taken care of my current two dogs ( Rottweiler & French Mastiff) as well as my sister in laws (German Shepard), and a couple of my friends (German Shepherd, Pitbull Mix, Heeler). I've cared for cats as well as my sister in law has them and I've attended dog training classes with my Rottweiler! I have no issues dealing with reactive or aggressive dogs as well and have spent time learning how to engage with them. I have a lot of experience with various dogs and my main goal will always to make your pets as happy and comfortable as can be :) My schedule is pretty flexible depending on how early you let me know I'm needed! I can request off any amount of time whether its a few hours or a few days, just let me know! I try to care for pets as close as possible to the owners. I don't want them to feel uncomfortable with a new person taking care of them and want them to be happy! Depending on the animal I'll act accordingly! Of course when spending time in others homes I was always taught to 'leave it better than you found it.' I'll follow whatever instructions given.

“Beth is a wonderful caretaker for your beloved pets! She kept me informed of how things were going, and she took care to make sure the water and food bowls were clean each day. I was very grateful for her services!”
“She was so good with my senior dog. She stayed in touch and gave me updates daily. First time I left my pet at home for a week with a caregiver. I truly felt my senior pup was in great hands. Thank you Ashley.”

About: I have had at least 4 dogs in my personal household since I was about 5 years old, so I love to be around and engage with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have also previously worked at a dog boarding institution for about 2 years before I left for college. At this previous job I was given the responsibility to make sure all dogs were fed, medicated (if needed), bathed, watered, and let outside an appropriate amount of times throughout the day. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend care. I love starting or ending my day with a walk or drop-in visit, and weekends are wide open for house sitting or longer stays. My schedule is steady and reliable, so you’ll always know exactly when your pet will get attention! I will be keeping an eye on your pups at all times to ensure their safety because all dogs will be treated just as I would treat my own.
About: I’ve had many pets during my life. I have experience with cats of all ages, and dogs of many sizes. With my own animals, I have experience providing medication like pills and drops. I have slight experience with dog training from classes in college and training my own animals. I work from home and in the evening so my days are often free and I am not needed anywhere. I can work from any place with WiFi. I can provide walks as frequently as needed due to my work from home job. This makes it easy to care for your animals in your home and on their schedules.
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole like from big dogs to very small cats/kittens. I’ve had my fair share of experience with animals. I have a dog of my own. I have a lot of free time and have been wanting to try something new and with my love of animals I thought dog walking would fun. I have a very friendly Pitbull I keep him on a food schedule and make sure the food has the proper vitamins and health benefits. He gets routine bath nail trim and vet checks
About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!
“Jarrod was awesome, he really treated our house and pets like his own. He tidied up our house and did the dishes, he even vacuumed! He consistently communicated with us and sent us all the photos! Thank you, Jarrod!”

“This is our second time working with Maddie and she was excellent. She provides great updates and photos and my dog loves her. We will definitely look to work with her again in the future!”

Richmond pet parents share their Rover experiences
Evie loved our girls as if they were her own. She sent lots of pics and videos and we could tell our girls were so very happy in her care. One of our pups was a new rescue and is extremely timid, anxious, and afraid and Evie made her feel safe and we came home to her feeling safe which was such a blessing. Our home was in perfect shape when we returned Would highly recommend Evie to take care of your pets - she’s fantastic!
