“I had such a great experience with Gabby! She took care of my dogs for five days while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly very attentive to my dogs’ needs. What really stood out was how often she kept me updated with sending notes and pictures multiple times a day. It gave me so much peace of mind to see how happy and comfortable my dogs were while I was away. It was obvious they were getting lots of attention, love, and playtime. When I got back, my dogs were relaxed and happy, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Scooby had an amazing time boarding with Chelsea! Chelsea sent me lots of pictures daily and Scooby always looked so happy in all of them. Scooby was so spoiled with treats, pets, and love from the whole family during his stay that he basically had his own vacation away from home and came back a very happy puppy. Would definitely recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for boarding in the area!”
“I'm a repeat customer of Chassidy's and this stay was just as great as the last. We actually picked Jack up close to 9pm last night, and Chassidy and her husband were so kind. I'm so glad to have found them! :)”
“Linda and Joe were amazing with Saint! We were nervous about using Rover for the first time, especially since dachshunds have a special personality. They eased our minds, having had previous experience with dachshunds and being aware of IVDD risks. They sent lots of photos and updates. Plenty of space for our pup and their own fur babies. Huge outdoor yard to play. Easy, smooth drop off and pick up. Honestly looked like he made himself at home. 10/10 would recommend.”
“From the moment we arrived, Truman felt completely at ease—she went right up to Janna with no hesitation! It was clear that she and her husband had a calm, welcoming energy that dogs can sense right away. Throughout the stay, they kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell that our baby was relaxed and happy the entire time. We were at ease as well knowing she is in good hands. They also accommodated our last minute concerns and requests. I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“I recently had my Husky stay overnight with Lily and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! My dog was well taken care of, and I received regular updates that reassured me she was comfortable and happy. Lily is friendly, and she made sure my dog felt at home. When I picked her up, she was in great spirits and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their dog!”
“My babies absolutely love Angela, she’s the only one I trust to leave them with; they literally walk into her house like they live there. She’s really the best and when I leave them with her I know they’re taken care of”
“Gina is such a kind and wonderful person. My dog caused her a bit of trouble, but she handled it with patience and care. She has been informing me every day about everything that happened with my dog.”
“I am very happy to have had Kim's help. An issue came up during the stay and I had to extend the time, and Kim helped me out. Toby was well cared for and she took him for a walk to burn off some energy. If I need help again, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to contact her.”
“Juno always has an amazing time with America. She has lots of fun and makes new friends. America is very responsive and accommodating. I feel safe leaving Juno in her care.”
“Shang made boarding very easy. He communicated very well and was always quick to reply and sent me pictures. My dog had a great time at his house and playing with Shang’s dogs. Would definitely board Charles with him again.”
“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!!!”
“bo was fantastic with Freddie for the long weekend!! He spoiled Freddie with tons of walks, great treats, and good friends for Freddie to play with. Will definitely work with bo again’”
“Cecilia took wonderful care of my senior dog for few days. She was patient and caring. She kept us updated regularly and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Rice came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We truly appreciate Cecilia’s kindness and dedication, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
“Liron is fantastic! She tool excellent care of my dog while my family and I were away. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages. Our dog loves attention and she gave him the extra care and attention he needed. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Andrea was wonderful! She watched my two dogs for 6 nights, and took such good care of them that they came home so happy and exhausted. My dogs can sometimes be a handful together, but she did a great job! She sent lots of photos of them, and was always very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely ask Andrea to watch my dogs again in the future!”

Weiyue was amazing ,exceptional and cared for our dog. She sent us updates everyday with video and text messages. Bruce was calm and happy when he got home. We were happy with the care we received. Thank you so much for taking care of Bruce. the next time we need a pet sitter, we will definitely call on you again. We will recommend her to everyone.
Amazing sitter. I explained my dog was shy and not used to being around other dogs. She made her feel comfortable and then introduced her to the other dogs. She sent great pics and I could see my Poppy made some new friends. Definitely will book with her again when we go out of town!!!!!
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 2,565 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
