“Christopher is a great dog walker. He is very considerate and always gives us a heads up before coming in the house to get our dog (in case we’re there). He took our dog Aggie on really nice long walks.”
“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Deb took my 8 year old Aussie for our first rover walk today. She came before the walk when I was home for a meet and greet the previous week. Deb messaged me to let me know she arrived for the walk and sent detailed updates with photos. Tesla can be shy, but Deb did a great job! My Tesla was happy when I got home from classes this evening and napped while I did homework indicating so got good exercise today! Thanks Deb, looking forward to our weekly walks :)”
“Angela did a great job taking care of my pup! They walked and played in the yard and she took some beautiful pictures to share with me. She was very communicative and arrived on time both days. I'd recommend her without reservation!”
“Courtney went above and beyond in taking care of Ginger. She sent regular updates and Ginger seemed to really get along with her. I would very highly recommend Courtney as a pet sitter!”
“The dogs get so excited when they see Desire coming up the steps. She takes great care in keeping them safe. Love the pics we get of their walk. Great communicator….I always know when she is on her way.”
“Kat is incredibly caring and great with dogs. Our pup wags her tail and runs to Kat with excitement for her walk. I really appreciate how Kat works with her on things like manners and getting comfortable being away from home.”
About: I’ve care for pets of all sizes and temperaments, bringing a happy, reliable presence that animals and their humans quickly trust. With hands-on experience in pet sitting, walking, I prioritize each pet’s routine and well-being as if I were their mom. I’m currently working part-time in a tech and good job so I have flexible schedules on both weekdays and weekends. Happy to help with taking care of your dearest family member! I have a Shiba Inu girl (3-year-old), nice and well-behaved, she loves furry friends and gets along with them well. Let’s have a quality pet time together!
About: I have experience working at a doggie daycare/boarding kennel and I have owned dogs for the majority of my life. I am adept at working to meet dogs' specific needs—from administering medicine to minor training—and I will work to ensure that your dog(s) are safe and feel comfortable when in my care. No matter the size or temperament of a dog I will care for it as if it were my own. I always appreciate spending time with dogs! I have a very flexible schedule. I am a masters student working part time and can go anywhere in the Portland metro area any days of the week. I am happy to care for pets in their own home. I love a check list /care instructions and will always follow specific instructions carefully.
About: I have been taking care of friends, neighbors, and co-workers animals on and off since college as a part-time job, and now I'm offering my services on Rover! If I put all of the time I've cared for clients' animals together it would be about 5 years =^). I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, and I specialize in taking care of senior cats. I'm currently working four days a week at a popular local store, and I have time for pet care before and after my shifts on work days, and almost anytime during the three days that I'm off work each week. I'm happy to provide care for your fur babies in their own home, and I look forward to learning and then kindly leading their training, walking, and rest time routines.
“Adelle is always so sweet with Daisy and so thoughtful. She immediately understood her personality as well as what we were looking for in a walker. She adapted her walk in the sleet and made sure Daisy was safe and happy.”
About: I have always been told I have a way with animals- I have grown up around lots of pets and petsit for friends and family. I am a student with a flexible schedule and my own car so it is easy for me to fit pet care in my day! I have a fenced backyard and live near a park, I have been petsitting in my house for years and there have never been any issues.

“Kaylin is now a staple in our old guy’s week. He gets so excited to know she is going to walk him and is always happy in his photos she shares. Thank you, Kaylin.”

Over 700 pet parents in Richmond have booked dog walking
Richmond dog parents share their Rover experiences
My ex and I share custody of our dog - when I knew she was coming to stay for a long stretch and I had to go into work while she was here, I hired Skyler for two weeks of walking/drop-ins. My older lady & Skyler got on just fine - Skyler exhibited excellent communication, was on time for walks, and Annie really seemed to enjoy spending time with her. I would not hesitate to book Skyler again in the future.
This is the second time I booked with Ariana. She is responsible, shows on time, and listens carefully to the given instructions. I also was informed on how the walks went with Pipa, as she does not warm up easy when she meets new people in general. I will book with her again!
