“Jillian was great, she replied texts promptly, arrived on time, and gained my dog's s trust in no time. I will definitely be re-booking again when in need of help with my pup.”

“Kelly took excellent care of my dog and cat while I was out of town on a business trip. From our first meet & greet to the final visit, she was professional, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about my pets. She sent plenty of photos during each visit, which made being away so much easier. I always knew exactly how Delilah's walks went and that Mochi was happy and comfortable. The whole experience took the stress out of leaving them behind, and I'd book Kelly again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love spending time with them! As the proud owner of two cats and a Husky, I know that every pet has their own unique personality and deserves lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or sticking to their daily routine, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the care they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and love making time for pets! Whether your furry friend needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or lots of attention while you’re away, I’ll be there to provide reliable, loving care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable, happy, and stress-free. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed and instructed), or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I give my own. You can count on regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Britteny was fantastic! Great communication. Lots of photos from the walk with our dog. This was my first Rover experience and it’s been so easy and such a great service that I look forward to using Rover and connecting with Britteny again.”


About: To all my pet parents, I can’t thank you enough for considering me, and giving me the privilege to do something I truly love, helping people and animals. All I’ve ever wanted in life is to help and I am just so grateful that you’ve all put your trust in me to care for your babies. I’ve had animals my whole entire life, I grew up with a lot of siblings which meant even more animals. My love for animals goes beyond, I will say I’m terrified of insects but I like to be kind to ALL creatures, and will do everything to protect them and get them somewhere safe. My animals are my absolute world, they are all rescues. I’ve always had a hard time saying no to any animals asking to be loved/cared for. I have done several successful TNR’s for cats in neighborhoods I’ve lived in, along with taking dogs/cats to vets and animal shelters to try to help them be reunited with family/finding a forever home. I’m always just trying to help save as many as I can. I currently have one pup, 5 cats that live inside and 2 outside cats. I am a helicopter parent of my babies and I would love to be considered to be a helicopter for yours as well, I myself use Rover and I would love to meet you and your babies to assure our compatibility, as I do with mine, and rest assured if you do not feel completely comfortable I will not be offended, the ultimate goal is that our babies are well taken care of and we have peace of mind! I am not currently working besides Rover, so my schedule will be open for you, and I would love to provide your babies with all the care they will need while you’re away :) I unfortunately cannot offer in home care at this time. I have had animals of different temperaments or some that need extra care for medical reasons, I am not able to give shots but I am familiar with giving medications.
About: I love dogs! They are a special part of my life and I currently have two mini Australian shepherds who are 8 and 6 years old. I have been around dogs my whole life and really enjoy all their fun and quirky personalities. Our house has a nice fenced in yard- your pet will get lots of exercise and outdoor time! I would love the opportunity to take care of your dog and will treat them as part of the family. I homeschool my boys so I am home all the time. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you may. Thanks for trusting me with your pet! I want your pet to feel as comfortable with the least stress as possible! I can take your pup out for a walk in the morning and evening and I will also let them outside in our fenced yard as often as they need. I have a nice fenced in yard for your pup to play. We also want them to feel at home while staying with our family and will make sure they get lots of snuggles, play time and whatever may help make their stay enjoyable!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I provided dedicated senior care for my chocolate Labrador, Copper, who lived to the incredible age of 18. Today, I have two pit bull mixes that join me on hiking adventures throughout the year, and I even harness-trained my kitten for outdoor adventures. I treat every pet like family and understand that each has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether they're energetic or need a little extra care, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am currently a wedding photographer in off season and have pretty good availability during the week for pet sitting. I typically work weekends but with enough notice and special occasions I'm flexible. I have one high energy dog and one older dog. So daily walks are a must. Sometimes separate and sometimes together. Our walks are typically 1 to 2 miles. I have two friendly dogs at home but I do have smaller home and a husband with allergies. So in my own home would probably be a case by case basis. As for other people's home's I'm flexible and respectful of house rules.
About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with over 4 years of professional experience working at a pet daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have specialized training in safe dog walking techniques and canine behavior, allowing me to confidently handle everything from energetic puppies to shy or reactive dogs. I'm also certified in Pet CPR, so your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether your furry friend needs a fun walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate, and personalized care that gives you complete peace of mind. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I currently work a full-time job from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, but I have a very flexible schedule and can easily take time off when needed for pet care. I'm also able to come home during my lunch break to provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or check-ins, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods. I do my best to accommodate each family's needs and will always communicate my availability clearly. Whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I'm committed to making sure your pet receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. With over four years of professional experience in a pet daycare and boarding facility, I've cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. My specialized training in dog behavior and handling, combined with my Pet CPR certification, allows me to respond calmly and confidently in any situation. I always maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment, whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care routines to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. During walks, I use safe handling techniques, stay alert to our surroundings, and prioritize your pet's well-being at all times. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and the highest level of care.

“Molly was great with my dog Milo and treated him very well. She was punctual and followed all my instructions about Milo, and was great at responding to messages. Will be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life. I’ve always been the one in the family to take care of all their needs and be the most loving. I’ve watched many friends dogs as well when they are out of town. Am a full time student and don’t have any other jobs besides Rover since school is my priority. Which is why I love how Rover easily can fit into my schedule. I will groom, feed, and play with every animal. I will clean litter boxes/ take dog out to potty or walks. I will make sure they are happy and satisfied while their owner is away and treat every animal like my own pet.
About: I'm a very fun and courageous person who enjoys going for walks and exploring outdoors. I can make your dog love me, just give me 5 minutes and I’m your dogs new best friend. I am a wonderful listener, so just tell me what you need me to do and everything will be purrfect. Having 2+ years experience at a dog daycare center in the past, I am skilled to manage the highs and lows with all pets. My responsibility is to stay with your pup at your home through out my whole stay, I will be there to protect, love, and feed them while you are away. On top of that I will be your housekeeper, watching over your home and cleaning any messes your pup and I make. My schedule is pretty much free the whole time I’m with your pup, so when I’m with them they have my whole attention. I can also teach them a few tricks because I'm quite excellent at it and I do not take care of 2 different families at the same time. My focus is taking care of one family at a time throughout my stay. I'm usually free all day, so your dog and I can have relaxing or enjoyable days together. But if I ever need to run some errands, depending on what they are, your dog can accompany me in a car ride or stay in your home, where it’s safe. When I arrive at your place, I make every effort to earn your dog's trust and make them feel more at ease. Usually your dog should already recognize me from our meet and greet. But if we have met or not, the first thing I do is take your dog on a walk, just to ensure them that I’m their care taker while you are gone, that would 100% make them comfortable with me. When we return, that is when I start giving rubs, treats, and cuddles. (yes I allow your dogs to sleep on my bed, if you are okay with them on your furniture). I hope I am the perfect match for you and your pup, thanks for reading about me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Richmond on Rover is $13.32 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,603 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Richmond. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your 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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Richmond.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richmond. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
