“Kelly was great. She responded really quickly to my booking inquiry. Bailee seemed to have enjoyed himself. No reported issues and she kept us up-to-date with pictures. We look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Linda and Joseph did a fantastic job taking care of my dog, Austin. They made him feel at home and kept me updated with daily pictures. Austin looked calm and content in those photos, and he was the same when I picked him up. Beforehand, we did a meet-and-greet where Austin and I met Linda and Joseph along with their two adorable and friendly dogs. When I dropped Austin off, Linda mentioned his routine, clearly demonstrating that she had done her homework. I felt totally at ease leaving Austin with them.”
“Shanaz was very very caring, and took care of our Yogi, just like we do at home. I approached Shanaz kind of at the last minute for a 6 day Boarding for Yogi. This was a long time for Yogi to stay away from us and I wanted to make sure of a caring and understanding person. I spoke to her over the phone, and had a gut feeling that Yogi will be fine with her. I went with my instinct and that proved 100% correct. Thank you Shanaz ❤️”
“America and her children took really good care of Mafalda as they were the owner. She is caring and sent me pictures and videos everyday. I already booked with her again for my trip in december because I know my dog is in good hands.”
“I am really so happy that Chassidy looked after my puppy of 12 years old!! She sent me pictures and updates of how he was doing. I think my dog now is missing having friends to play with and a backyard! :-P ”
“Shang went above and beyond in taking care of my dog. After realizing I forgot to bring vegs and other supplementary food I had packed, Shang facilitated the missing foods, giving that human touch and care.”
“thank you so much for taking care of my dogs. I was worried because one of my dogs had an upset stomach, but in the end, it seems he was able to settle down in the quiet environment.”
“Alison is amazing! Scooby loved his stay with Alison and I got so many pictures and updates throughout the stay! With Scooby being more of a shy boy, Alison took great care in slowly introducing him to the others and by the end of his stay Scooby was friends with Tiny and the other boarded dogs. Would definitely recommend Alison and family for any boarding needs!”
“Lacey went above and beyond again for my dogs. Even when I gave her such a short notice, she was able to make it work. I cannot convey how appreciative I am of Lacey. Highly recommend this nanny and will always rebook.”
“Lily has been absolutely wonderful with my Corgi, Elliot who is 15 years. She had him for five days. Lilly communicates with you and sends pictures of him every day. Elliot came home clean well looked after. I was so relieved as I had him boarded at other places and had very bad experiences. Totally happy this time!”
“Chelsea is super, she sent a lot of pictures and updates us almost everyday. She make us feel so comfortable leaving Kamote in her care. Will surely get her again in the future.”
“I’m so happy to find someone who can take care of my chihuahua so well! I was out of country for 10 days and they updated me with pictures and made sure my baby was taken care of. Iggy was so happy and so was I.”
“We have used Daniel and Kristi several times. Our dogs absolutely love them! When we get out of the car my dogs run to the door to greet them and make themselves right at home. My girls ( dogs) love going and that makes my heart happy. The daily updates and photos always show them happy and cozy ( I've got lazy old girls) . So thankful to have found a great pet sitter!!!”
“Charlie LOVED his time there. He came home like he never left. I missed him, but knowing he was getting plenty of love, care, playtime and relaxation helped a lot. Liron was great with communicating, answering questions and understanding. I have a ton of pictures thanks to her proactive communication and kindness. I am so glad Charlie also got to socialize with other well behaved dogs while he was there. Honestly this place is a dogs’ paradise. He will definitely be back. 😌☺️”
“Bo was amazing with my dog! He kept me updated the whole time, followed all my instructions, and made sure my pup was happy and cared for. Super friendly and definitely someone I’d trust again!”
“I can't describe how pleasant this experience has been. I have always boarded my girls at the vet. Wanted to try something different. I am so glad I did. I have found their forever sitter. Noel & his family are so sweet. The picture updates were great. My girls were happy. Love Rover.com Cynthia Horton”
“Great! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog Bea with Nonchanan for just over a week. All instructions were followed and Bea seems to have had a great time - healthy and well cared for. We struggled to receive photo updates initially but managed to receive some. Regular texted updates were provided. Very happy and would book again.”
“Alejandra took great care of our dog. He came back happy and we were kept up to date on how he was doing. Alejandra went out of her way to help cleaning our dog’s recent wound and kept him healthy abr happy.”
“Lorraine was truly wonderful with our golden retriever Chief. Our pup is a bit shy and he lost his brother in January ( our older chocolate lab). He's had a hard time adjusting to life without his brother around. But he immediately took to Lorraine. Her home is immaculate. She has a beautiful fenced in backyard. Lorraine was kind and loving with Chief. She walked him daily and he got playtime in her backyard. She sent us pictures daily of Chief enjoying himself and settling in. We could tell when we picked him up that he was perfectly comfortable at Lorraine's home. We will definitely use Lorraine again. Very grateful for her loving care. Rebecca”
Richmond pet parents share their Rover experiences
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. 🐾✨
My girls are always so happy to see Ms. Pat and stay with her and while they are glad to see me when I pick them up they always seem like they would be happy to stay longer. Ms. Pat did an incredible job accommodating changes to their feeding schedule and walk schedule in the middle of the visit and communicated all changes.
