About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was in my late teens. Pet sitter throughout grad school and even when I taught abroad. I have experience with disabled pets multiple pets you name it I’m a consultant so my schedule is relatively flexible. Mainly looking to work morning gigs and some weekends. However if extended care or even evening care is needed I can certainly be available. For my own home I have a back yard but my preference is to pet sit in the clients home because of whatever environment they might feel is best for their fur baby.
“Thank you so much for taking care of our cats and our home! Victoria was great with our cats and even came to meet with them before our trip! She was responsive and gave detailed updates during her visits. She did a great job making sure our babies were happy. Will definitely rebook :)”
“Amanda took excellent care of our cat. She communicated effectively and adhered to our instructions. We can definitely recommend her services!”
About: Hi, my name is Cait! I have three cats, all with quirky, unique personalities, and individual needs that I love with all my heart. I also am an aunt to an amazing dog who spends a lot of time at our house, as well as the occasional sleepover. I love taking care of my friend’s and family’s pets, playing with their toys, getting them excited for meal time, and cozying up with them when they need to snuggle. I work from home and an am usually a homebody on the weekends. I enjoy spending time with my own cats, and wanted to try Rover so I can take care of other cute fur babies in need! My cats all require different medications and types of food so I have developed ways to make sure they get what they need without the other cats trying to steal their food. It requires full attention during dinner time especially! Whenever my sister’s dog comes for a visit either during the day or over night for several nights, my partner and I sleep in separate spaces so the animals can sleep comfortably without the cats feeling overwhelmed by their dog visitor. We definitely put animals first in our home as we love them so much!
“Chelsea was great with my two cats! They warmed up to her right away. She was communicative during her visits and sent cute pictures. Looking forward to working with Chelsea again in the future!”

Iliana M.
“Iliana did an absolutely incredible job taking care of my dog, Goldie. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell Goldie was in great hands. Iliana was attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure Goldie felt comfortable and loved. She kept me updated with sweet photos and little notes about how the day was going, which gave me real peace of mind. When I picked Goldie up, she was happy, calm, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but Iliana exceeded all expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Goldie with her again! 10/10”

Caitlin is not only responsible and trustworthy, but also clearly loves dogs and treats them like her own. Gertie can be a bit shy around new people, but Caitlin’s kind and patient approach quickly put her at ease. She sent me regular updates and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away.

Richmond pet parents share their Rover experiences
Punctual, reliable and detail-oriented. Austin asked all the right questions and was great about communication and sending photos. I felt that my dogs were in good hands.
I highly recommend Olivia for any cat-sitting needs! Our family went away for an extended period and came home to a kitty that was super happy and healthy. Will definitely book with Olivia again.
Jill took great care of Quincy. When we got home, he was in a good mood and everything was in order. This was our second time having Jill watch Quincy, and I’m sure it won’t be the last!
Glad we were able to book Samantha again. We were able to relax and getaway for a weekend without worrying over our cats.
Kelly was an incredible kitty-sitter! We loved that she wanted to meet up in person before booking and she knew just what we wanted when we were away - lots of cute pics and great messages, putting our minds at ease. Thank you, Kelly!
Michelle was lovely to work with! I needed urgent last minute cat care when I had a last minute gap between friends checking on my cat, and Michelle was quick to accept my request to book. My cat warmed to her quickly from what I could see, and I appreciated the updates and photos. I would certainly book with Michelle again!
Anna was gracious and very communicative!! Appreciate that she was able to see our cats on short notice on a busy weekend.
Olivia has watched our kitty many times. She's always reliable and does an excellent job. Highly recommend Olivia!
Danielle is consistently wonderful, friendly/responsive, and makes me feel so at ease when I need to leave my pets. Thank you!!
Daniel is a super reliable sitter, is always great with my cat, and I never have anything to worry about when I’m away. Can’t ask for anything more!
Alexys did a great job! This was my first booking with Alexys. I booked her services well in advance and she checked in with me periodically. She took the time to reach out while she was caring for my cats. All around reliable and very nice person!!
Keri is a absolutely fantastic and my go to sitter/walker. She is flexible, communicative, and never leaves you hanging. My dog loves her and I know he is safe in her care. If you are looking for a caring professional to look after your furry babies you cannot go wrong with Keri!
Alyssa was a professional, attentive sitter for our spoiled boy cat while we were away on vacation. We appreciated the timely check-ins, thorough notes, and multiple photos provided for each visit. The house and litter box were clean when we returned, and we wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to sit for us again.
Kari was amazing with our two pups! Our bigger dog is very hesitant around new people and Kari was very patient with him. She also came prepared with a slip lead which was useful when he was nervous about her doing his harness! Ultimately, he warmed up and both dogs showered her with kisses so I think it’s safe to say they loved her visits! We would absolutely request for Kari to watch the pups in the future.
Andrea is a phenomenal cat sitter. Her attention to detail and care/love she gave our cats for a last-minute weekend trip was beyond appreciated. As an anxious cat dad, her thorough updates left me feeling confident that our cats were in excellent hands. Thank you so much Andrea, look forward to booking again!
excellent and on time the each day! received pictures of my dogs each drop-in as well. great communication.
Mochi absolutely loves Bryce. He is so sweet and accommodating to all her needs. Mochi is a bit of a diva and also has terrible separation anxiety, and he handles it all well and in stride. I will definitely be booking Mochi with Bryce again. I feel that he will be an integral part of her life and wellbeing, and he has come her fast friend. I highly recommend Bryce.
