“Kelly is an amazing sitter and Trekkie enjoyed his stay at Kelly's place. She was quick to respond, sent regular updates and was very friendly. I will definitely use Kelly in future if Trekkie needs any boarding services.”
“I was worried about leaving my 10wk ofd puppy with anyone for the first time, especially knowing there were other big dogs in the house, when he'd never really met any dogs before. BUT, to my VERY pleasant surprise, it proved to be one of the BEST days my baby ever had, as realized from the video sent to me while he was there. My pup ended up taking over the place; literally running around, jumping on, and over the big dogs who were sweet enough to tolerate his energetic l'il self? 🤐🤣 It was hilarious, and immediately put me at ease! Mr Chang was even kind enough to take him as a last minute booking as I knew no one, but trusted Rover from the past! I can't thank he, and his friend enough for accommodating us, and they deserve more than the 5 stars available! 🥰”
“Lacey is Amazing. I absolutely love the way she treats Coco and how Coco loves her and her dogs. She definitely keeps me updated throughout the day and is well organized. Coco is in great hands with her ! I wish I could leave her 10 stars”
“So friendly and kind!! My fur babies loved it there and came home so happy. I was updated every morning and evening on them with photos showing their smiles. Could not be happier and will absolutely be booking again!!”
“Penelope took great care of our goldendoodle. Our pup got plenty of love and attention (and extra walks!) from the whole family. We loved the photos and videos. We will definitely book with Penelope again!”
“I’m so grateful to have found Patricia. She has quickly became my go-to sitter whenever I’m out of town, and my pup absolutely adores her. She’s reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my dog feels loved and comfortable.”
“Bo was the best. Super communicative about everything going on with our dog. How he got on with other dogs that stayed with Bo while our dog was there. How our dog behaved in general and what he did (or didn’t) eat. He even was communicative when a hurricane passed over his house while our dog was there! Stellar in all accounts. Would use him again when we need a sitter.”
“Angela took great care of our sweet Stella and made her feel really comfortable and at home. We appreciated the updates and pictures which allowed us to feel confident that she was in great hands!! Thanks for loving our girl for the week!!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. We really appreciated the drop-off and pick-up convenience, along with all the love and attention you gave Max. It means so much knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend and would definitely trust you with Max again in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rover.com and now I will be a repeat client of Sylvia’s. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her and was reassured daily with updates and pictures that I had definitely made the right decision. It makes your vacations even better when you know they’re in a safe environment and being well taken care of.”
“Great service. We do recommend Alison to anyone, our dogs received love and care and we loved it the experience. If you are looking for someone to love your dogs awhile you are out of town this is the right place.”
“This was a short visit for Hira and Belle with Janna. Janna did share a couple of pictures during their stay and they looked happy. Thank you for taking them out on walks, Janna. Much appreciated. We will definitely considers booking their stays with Janna’s family again.”

“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.”
“Kimberly was a great sitter! She made my first time using Rover a great experience. She always kept me updated during the entire week she watched Mack. I received pictures and stories daily. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
“We had an excellent experience with Piayon ! From the very beginning, they were reliable, flexible, and genuinely caring. It was clear that our dog was well loved and looked after while we were away. We appreciated the regular updates, photos, and the extra attention they gave to make sure our pup felt comfortable and happy. We came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for dog, which gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable family to care for their dog. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Donna and her son take wonderful care of my dog at each of her visits. I'm so happy to have found them and know I have a safe place to take my dog when I travel. I love that Donna has two dogs of her own, so my pup gets a chance to socialize on her stays.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
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.

There are 2,574 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Richmond. About 91% of Richmond sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
