“Amie is fantastic. She bonded immediately with my dog and was very dependable in terms of showing up on time and walking my puppy to the point of exhaustion. I could not be more pleased.”
“Jorden is great with our dog Winston. Jordaen really takes the time to work with Winston on things he is still learning and Jorden let's us know Winston's growth. I would recommend Jorden. ☺️🐶”
“Kendra was incredible! She was so easy to communicate with and provided excellent care for our two dogs. She also sent regular updates and photos. It is clear that she truly cares for animals and is very knowledgeable. We would absolutely hire her again.”
About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant, as well as shelter experience. I'm available for drop in visits and dog walking. I do not have a set schedule at work yet so I will have different availability every week. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.
About: Experienced, Detail-Oriented Sitter & Trustworthy Home Care. Reliable, Punctual, and Dedicated Care for Dogs and Cats. Your Pet’s Favorite Neighbor: Trusted Walking and Sitting Services. My schedule is extremely flexible, which means your pets will rarely be left alone. I'm available throughout the day for regular walks, playtime, and constant supervision. Whether it's morning dropins or midday checkins, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your animals with the utmost respect. I follow your exact feeding and care routines, keep doors and gates secure, and provide plenty of updates and photos so you always feel connected. Safety is always my top priority. I keep a watchful eye during outdoor activities, ensure toxic foods or hazards are completely out of reach, and strictly adhere to any crate training or dietary rules you have in place for your pets.
“We were so grateful to have Damien help us with midday walks this week! He always treats our guy with such kindness and leaves the best feedback about how he’s doing during the day.”
About: Dogs have and will always be a huge part of my life. We got our first family dog when I was just 3 years old and the rest is history. My husband Jack is extremely passionate about animals as well and is my partner in all of this so you get two dog sitters for the price of one. Between the two of us your pet will get so much love, cuddles & exercise. We guarantee a level of attention and care that I feel confident your pet won’t get anywhere else; between this and Rover taking it’s fee our prices might be on the high side but they reflect our level of personalized and professional level of care. I also just want to add that our love for dogs extends to all animals so cats etc are all welcome to come hang with us :) Important Note: if you are reaching out for house sitting my husband and I only take those if we both are allowed to stay the night. We prefer to do this for safety as well as enabling the best care possible for your pet. Your pets will be my top priority & my main focus when they stay with us! I feel pretty confident that they will get more quality time, attention & lovin with me then any other pet sitter! I have a smoke free home and do not have any dogs currently living at my house so your pets will be my only focus! Also a child free home!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Richmond. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
