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.
“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: 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!
“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.”

About: Hi!! I’m new here and would love to get to know your dogs, take them on walks and get them some exercise and interaction :) I am a stay at home mom and have 1 fur baby myself. I’ve had all types of dogs growing up as a kid. I’ve had my schnauzer mut, Wendi, since she was 2 weeks old, started off with bottle feeding her and she’s been spoiled ever since! I often keep my brothers 3 dogs, one is an Australian shepherd/golden retriever, one is a mut and the other is a mini Australian shepherd. My family has always loved dogs and the joy they bring! I’d love to get to know your animals and help your family out. I am currently a stay at home to 4 kids. 3 of my kids are in school so I will have my youngest with me in the stroller as long as other dogs are comfortable being around kids as she remains buckled in the stroller :) I have 1 dog, Wendi, and have had her since she was 2 weeks old. I bottle fed her for 2 weeks since her mom got ran over. She loves to go on walks, play fetch outside and go to the park with all of her human siblings!
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 make sure they are happy and satisfied while their owner is away and treat every animal like my own pet.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and can't imagine a home without one. I currently share mine with a Doberman and a German Shepherd/Husky mix, I've had both since they were puppies and raised them through every stage, so I'm comfortable with dogs of any size, energy level, or temperament, from calm lap dogs to high-energy pups. I've also taken care of friends' dogs over the years, so I'm used to adapting to different personalities and routines. I'm patient, active, and reliable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that's a gentle stroll or a long walk to burn off energy. No job is too big or too small. I love keeping owners involved so you can expect photo and video updates, quick responses, and a daily recap during walks or stays, along with the flexibility to chat before booking.

I am able to adjust my routine to meet each pets specific needs. I love that I get to make dogs feel cared for, not just checked in on. *Safety* You can rest assured your pet will be treated just like my own. I believe in open, transparent communication and will keep you updated regularly on how they're doing while you're away. I'm attentive and careful, and I'll follow your pet's care exactly the way you want it, whether that means medications, exercise, or plenty of cuddle time. I'm committed to keeping their routine consistent, from feeding times to daily walks to playtime, because I know familiarity helps pets feel comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority, and my goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. Here is what I am offering (flexible on timing) 1. 30-minute dog walks: Perfect for burning off energy, getting some fresh air, and breaking up their day when you're busy or away. Great for a quick potty break, or an outdoor stretch. 2. Overnight dog sitting: I stay overnight with your fur baby so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care, meals, playtime, and cuddles. 3.

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
