“We can't recommend Julia highly enough! She is caring, considerate and responsive. Our rescue dog has enjoyed doggy day care and weekly walks with her. We appreciate the peace of mind we have leaving our sweet friend in Julia's care.”
3. Lauren D.
“Lauren’s great! She took great care of our Fidel. She daycared for Fidel for two consecutive days. On the second day, Fidel was really excited when we arrived at her place and got really happy when he saw her. Lauren took Fidel out for walks and to play in the backyard. Communication with her was easy and quick. Highly recommended!”

“So happy with Dante and Quincy's care of Bodhi. I drop him off every Wednesday while I'm in the office and he has such a great day playing with their dog Snickers. Big help for me and great socialization for my pup.”
5. Kendall K.
About: I have experience dog walking and dog sitting (both at my residence and the owners’ residences). I have a car and my schedule is flexible. The schedule depends on the week. I am a medical student with plenty of free time this year, so ideally would be caring for pets as much as possible! I live in an apartment building near plenty of paths to walk and care for dogs. My home is pet friendly. I am respectful of any rules my clients have for their own homes.

“Chris met us on time at the park and watched Ladybug while I went rock climbing at the RVA Man Wall. He was great with Ladybug and let her go wherever she wanted and snuggled her while we climbed. Great Rover experience with Chris, highly recommend!”

About: It’s safe to say my life revolves around dogs. I grew up around them and have raised a "pandemic puppy" of my own, who is now my best friend in the entire world. I also have professional experience in various environments, including a veterinary office, grooming salon, and a daycare/boarding facility. I have a knowledge and deep interest in dog behavior and psychology, and want to make sure they're as comfortable and happy as possible. Alongside dogs, I have experience and a love for other animals--cats, as well as small animals (hamsters, rats, guinea pigs), reptiles (snakes and lizards), and fish. I will be happy to provide care to any breed or species, treating every pet like a family member (as they deserve). I have been working with Rover since September 2023 and I love it! In addition to Rover I also work at a dog boarding facility. My schedule is not always predictable, but I tend to work every weekend. Because of this I like to plan my weekly availability ahead so I have plenty of time for walks and visitation. I adhere to the pet parent's wishes to ensure the pet's routine is not disturbed and that they are as comfortable as possible. I am able to administer medication and stick to their proper feeding, potty, and walking schedules. I also have a dog of my own that would love a playmate, provided they are friendly with each other!
11. Salís D.
“Salis was really kind and gracious in accommodating my request for day care for my young puppy so that I could attend a family funeral in the area. She even sent me a photo of my pup having fun halfway through her stay, which really put my mind at ease since I have never left my puppy with a sitter before.”
12. Shelley C.
“I love Shelly. She is very compassionate and dependable. I have four cats with very shy personalities, so they can be quite difficult even for myself. I'm so grateful I found her. Shelly is a dog and cat owner herself. Animals just naturally gravitate to her.”
13. Lee B.
“Lee is responsible, attentive, and hard working. He's cared for people's pets for many years including walking, feeding, and tertiary care. Your furry friends are in good hands under his watch!”
14. Amanda P.
About: While I did not grow up with dogs, I’ve lived with multiple dogs for the past 5 years and added my own fur baby into the mix in 2021. I’m able to help with dogs of all needs and abilities while accommodating to your schedule. I am happy to help ease the stress of being away from your fur baby as I know first hand how anxiety inducing this can be. I work and attend graduate school remotely so my schedule is incredibly flexible. While I am not currently able to accommodate dogs in my home, I am more than happy enough to check in on yours when needed. I can work with all schedules and needs regarding walks, potty breaks, medication administration, etc. I feel confident that by working together we can find a solution that works for your needs and create ever lasting relationships. After all, we all benefit from the love of our dogs!
15. Michelle B.
“So responsive and took lots of pics!!! Honey had a great time and will definitely be coming back!”
16. Emily M.
“Emily is a kind, caring soul and amazing with all animals! She does a great job ensuring pets get extra love and cuddles, as many walks or exercise as they need, and is a pro at handling medications for dogs. Aside from how great she is with pets, Emily is great at watching your house, bringing in the mail, or keeping things tidy as needed! She would be a great person to help watched your furry friend while you are away!”

He puts the needs of others (especially pets) before his and is extremely trustworthy. One of steven’s best characteristics is his loyalty. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great pet sitter. He even feeds the stray cat that lives on his street!”
