“Amazing experience. I had a few last min cancelations and they were able to accommodate my baby for a couple more days. I recieved lot of pictures of her. I will definitely book with this family again.”
“Where do we begin? Rowena was BEYOND AMAZING when she babysat our Pomeranian for almost a week. She went ABOVE & BEYOND anything we could have expected, and treated our dog like he was her own. The pictures and videos she sent us throughout the week showed him being spoiled and adored by her, and totally eased our anxiety about boarding him (for the first time ever) while we were on vacation. We can’t say enough good things about Rowena. She is absolutely the best sitter we could have ever hoped for. She was kind & loving to our dog (child) & she even catered to some of his high maintenance needs (like helping him eat more slowly & taking him out in the yard to run around, to let him get his “zoomies” out, etc). Her house was immaculate & clean, which was even more comforting to us, because we were anxious our pup might eat something off the floor, if able (he wasn’t able to because her house was spotless). We really can’t say enough good things about our experience with Rowena and how well she cared for our dog while we were out of town. It’s very obvious that she LOVES what she does, and that she LOVES DOGS. So amazing. Book her….you will never book anyone else! Thank you again, Rowena! I’m booking you again now!”
“Britteny is excellent and I highly recommend her. My dogs love staying here. I am a repeat customer and will continue to use Britteny’s services to take care of my dogs in the future.”
“Beatriz was amazing! It was my first time not having a family or friend watch my 2 babies so I was a very anxious fur mama. She was extremely patient and understanding from the start with my numerous questions and specifics needed for them. She sent daily photos and was quick to respond. It was clear that my babies were in hands of a caretaker who truly cares. We will definitely be a repeat customer of hers when it is needed.”
“Mona was great with Penny! I felt very comfortable leaving her and it was my first time ever using Rover. She sent pictures and updates every day. Looking forward to booking Mona again. Lexi”
“Andrea was amazing!!! It’s always hard leaving my fur baby behind but she definitely put me at ease. I accidentally booked one day short for Tiny’s stay but she was able to make arrangements last minute for me. She was very active with my pup by taking him to the dog park, walks at the park, and playing outside with toys. I will most definitely be booking her in the future!”
“So happy with how Regan took care of our little Zero. You can tell the love she puts into carting for your dogs and I would 100% recommend her for anyone needing a sitter for their furry family member”
“Maritza took care of my babies with love all the time. She had a lot of paciente with my 1 year old puppy and my senior always feels Maritza’s home as his own home. I would like to thanks Maritza and her family for all the care and love to my doggies.”
“Ruth came highly recommended from a friend who has used her numerous times, and she was not wrong! Ruth is great! She loves animals and loved our pup, Scout as if she was her own. She sent updates including pictures of all the fun they were having together so we didn’t have to worry. So glad to have found her, and we will definitely use Ruth in the future!”
“I have used Patricia on almost every time I go out of town and I'm always amazed with her level of care for my pet. I hesitate in leaving a good review for selfish reasons (I don't want her to get so booked that I have to find another sitter).”
“Ara was amazing to my dog Jaxon! I highly recommend her, and will definitely have her watch Jaxon if needed in the future. She was very attentive and sent video clips to me daily, which really gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was being cared for.”
“Chelsea looked after our dog while we had a trip to England and she made us feel so happy and comfortable with leaving her. Chelsea kept us updated with how Georgie was doing each day. We would definitely recommend and will be booking her again soon. Thank you so much Chelsea!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Vicki! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. Our pups came home happy and well-cared for, and we appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept us at ease. Vicki was not only reliable and professional but also truly compassionate, treating our furry family members as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your fur babies, look no further! Highly recommended!”
“This family is amazing! Neel and Krish and Geetika were so thoughtful and kind in taking care of our dog, I received daily updates on his activities with lots of photos and videos, and they were extremely communicative and professional. He got lots of walks and snuggles and enjoyed playing with Sydney, We will definitely be leaving our beloved pup with them again!”
“We can't say enough good things about Mrs. Joyce! She took such loving, sweet care of our puppy while we were away. Her home is welcoming, clean, and fresh! You can just feel the love the moment you walk in the door. When we picked up our pup, he was happy, energized, and well-rested, which told us everything we needed to know about how well he was cared for. We highly recommend Mrs. Joyce to anyone looking for someone who is truly caring, trustworthy with your pet!”
“I had the pleasure of using the Rover app for the first time, and I was so fortunate to find Cora. From the very beginning, she gave me complete peace of mind with her experience, availability, and genuine love for caring for dogs. While I was away, I felt confident knowing my dogs were in a safe, calm, and loving environment. It was clear they were well cared for and received plenty of affection. I truly appreciate everything Cora did for them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!”

WEIYUE and her husband were amazing from start to finish and communicated with me my wife our entire vacation which i appreciated. If you're looking for a quality sitter give them a try. Me and my wife have decided they are our dog sitter going forward for sure. Well worth it 5 stars !!!!
This is the first time we have ever used Rover so we were a bit nervous about leaving our pup. Shaobi was so good with our pup and her daily pics and videos reassured us that she was in good hands. I highly recommend using Shaobi for anyone wanting a great and caring petsitter. We will definitely be using her again.
I had an exceptional experience with Me Ara From the moment we arrived, it was clear our pet would be in great hands. Communication was excellent, and we received regular updates that gave me peace of mind. Her home was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel even more comfortable. She also have a huge yard, perfect for exercise and playtime. My pet came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate the attention, patience, and love shown throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend Ms Ara to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and comfortable environment for their pet. 🐾✨

93% of sitters in Richmond can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, we recommend 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 TX 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.
