“We had such a great experience! She took wonderful care of our puppy and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing! This was the first time we left our cat with a sitter so we were a little worried but we got pictures and updates every day. Her children loved playing with my kitty and we were able to have a getaway knowing our girl was very very well taken care of.”

“Amy was amazing with Cooper! He can be very shy with new people, but she was patient and gentle with him and made him feel comfortable. It was such a relief knowing Cooper was happy and well cared for while we were away. I would definitely recommend Amy!”

“Jessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Ruby’s visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???”


“Leticia was wonderful with our dog. After welcoming us, she showed us her fenced backyard. Lovely. She sent pictures and videos and Savannah played with new puzzles. Really appreciate the loving care.”

“Christian responded quickly to our initial request & because we had a long drive he agreed to accommodate a 2 hour drop off window (we texted updates). He was friendly at drop off, happily engaged the dogs, asked good questions about their needs & sent photos as requested. At pick-up he offered details about their stay. Both dogs were happy to see us but seemed to have enjoyed their night with Christian. Would book again”

About: Before becoming a nurse, I was a vet tech for 5 years. I’ve also grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! Old or young, I'd loved to take care of your pet. Whether that's going for walks, playing vet, or just lounging around. Animals bring such joy to our lives and I'll take care of your baby like they're my own! I'm an ICU nurse with a few weeks in between contracts. Once I go back to work, I'll work 3 12s so I'll have lots of free time to spend with your babies. I usually know my scheduled a month in advance as well. I’m a very active person and if your pup is also active I can take them hiking or for a run! But if your dog is a couch potato I’m happy to just spend time with them too!
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day and able to give the dogs plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision\. Since I’m home, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time\. I have plenty of time for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and of course lots of attention and affection\. I enjoy having dogs around and love making them feel like part of the family while they’re in my care\. I can also follow your dog’s normal schedule and routine to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible\. My home has a large open backyard with 2.12 acres, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, explore, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors safely.

“Dee was great with our dog, Shiloh, while we were across the country for over a week. We received pictures showing her with all of her happiest body language and were told that Shiloh and Dee's dog got along like best friends. We will definitely ask Dee to watch Shiloh again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly treat them like family. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also adopted and lovingly cared for a difficult senior dachshund for years, which gave me valuable experience with patience, senior dog needs, routines, and extra attentiveness. Today I have a large Bernedoodle, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well as energetic pups who need exercise and structure. I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor time when appropriate, while also making sure they get plenty of affection, snuggles, and supervision. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love dogs. I understand every dog is different, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day for the pets in my care. Because I’m home most of the time, dogs get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long stretches. My flexible routine also makes it easy for me to stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’m able to provide attentive, consistent care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I have a friendly, social dog who enjoys having visitors and does well with other dogs, while always making sure introductions are done thoughtfully and safely. I have a yard for outdoor time, and while it is not fenced, I use a secure runner/tie-out system and close supervision so dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and time outside. I also keep dogs leashed on walks and anytime they are outdoors for added safety. If your dog is crate-trained or more comfortable with their own space, I’m happy to accommodate crating and follow your normal home routine. I always aim to keep pets on their regular schedule for feeding, exercise, rest, and any medications or special instructions. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
About: I work full time from 9am to 5pm, with occasional overtime. I have weekends free so I can spend plenty of time with your pets. I am gentle and calm around animals and I love to spend time playing with them and talking with them. I am careful to let them approach me if they want attention and petting.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by them and have always loved caring for them. For the past 3 years, I’ve worked full-time with dogs, and I truly treat every pup like my own!! I currently work with a pet care company in another city, and I’m now looking to meet new local clients and pups! Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect! I live in a home with a large, fully fenced yard and a park nearby, giving pups plenty of space to play and explore. I’m happy to use a crate if preferred, and when your pup stays with me, my home becomes their home too!
About: I've been around dogs my entire life. At about 5 years old, my father adopted my grandfather's two Beagles and they quickly became my best friends. Today, I have 2 dogs at home, one that's 17 and one that's 7. And still they're my best friends. For as much as I love dogs, it really does feel like they love me back. Whenever I go over anyone's house I hear " Wow he never behaves this well around people normally." Each dog is so unique and the most fun thing for me is learning what makes them wag their little tails! I work from home from my apartment and only have one roommate so I'm incredibly flexible when it comes to scheduling. I'm sure that I could make just about anything work given a small notice. I have a two room apartment and a kitchen. Playing and feeding is easy for me in the apartment, but I also have a park right near me, about a 5 minute walk away.
“Trishul and Victor are the best! They were warm and welcoming to my two dogs and treated them with love and care. Trishul was communicative from the beginning and the experience was easy and reassuring. I recommend him highly!”

“Grace and her sweet pup Luddy made it SO comfortable and easy for us to leave our girl for the weekend. She obviously cares a great deal, is very kind and responsive, and clearly enjoys the time with her guests. Her home and property are safe/comfy with lots of space in nature to play and explore. I highly recommend her and will be asking for her help sitting again for sure!”

About: I have been a pet owner for my whole life. I have had bunnys, dogs and cats. I love all animals and they love me. I am currently not working as of now for a little bit while I transition to something else so your dogs will have my full undivided attention. I have a fenced in big back yard where my dogs run and play. I also take them on walks and have beds for them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Richmond home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Richmond.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Richmond sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
