Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
Rowena was great with Pepper. We had a wonderful experience leaving Pepper with her while we were on vacation! She sent us lots of pictures and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with Pepper and made sure she was well cared for and loved. Since she only takes small dogs, it also felt like a great fit for Pepper. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy dog sitter. We’ll definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️
Really can’t say enough good things 10/10 perfect! My little animals were very happy and cared for while I was away and it was better than leaving them at different kennels - esp for a long trip. Knowing they felt safe & content made my vaca 100% worry free. Wonderful photos and great comms couldn’t ask for anything more!🫶
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.
Jade was great! She made my fur babies feel very at home and made sure they had plenty of play time and potty breaks! The dogs did excellent in her care and had an absolute blast! Jade is very professional and communicative, with replies within seconds. I highly recommend her for pet sitting.
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. 🐾✨

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
