“Alexis went above and beyond on the tasks requested and even stayed extra time with my cats which was very kind of her! She was punctual and responsible and my cats warmed up to her immediately. I was able to have peace of mind during my trip. I would definitely rebook with Alexis and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”


“Mark was very good with Poppy, my 9 year old cat. This was the longest I’ve gone off and I’m sure she wasn’t thrilled. But Mark gave her attention and care. I will have him watch my cat again.”

We highly recommend her!”


About: Hi, I'm Ash! I've grown-up and taken care of dogs & cats of ever kind since I was a child. I've always been the trusted fur "auntie" for my family, my friends and my neighbors when they needed an extra hand taking care of thier pets. I own my own hair & makeup company that allows me to build my own schedule. I have flexible availability during the week for walks, feedings and cuddles! I work most Saturdays for a few hours in the morning, but I am available in the evenings and most Sundays are completely open. I offer in-home pet-sitting services, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or just providing some company and cuddles, I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm responsible, respectful of your home, and committed to making sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I’m here to provide peace of mind while you're gone!

“Heidi watched my dogs while I was in the hospital and I couldn’t have picked a better person. My little dog is a picky eater and she did perfect with her where she trusted her (which is rare). I recommend her to anyone I talk to.”


“Madison was great! I work from home and have a 3 month old puppy - I needed help during the day giving him the attention / activity that he needs, Madison played with him for an hour and it was extremely helpful. She was communicative and easy to coordinate with.”


“Hollis is very responsive and was able to help out with a last minute booking. This was a repeat booking and my cats have warmed up to her quickly. I trust her with my fur babies any time.”


“I am so glad that I found Elizabeth on Rover! She sends lots of photos & updates while taking care of my cat. She came for a meet & greet before the first time watching my cat & I think she is really friendly, professional, and reliable. I highly recommend her-you would be lucky to have her as a pet sitter!”


About: I've been around dogs since I was 5 years old. I have walked, played with, fed, cleaned up after them having accidents when they are older or as a puppy. I've cared not only for mine but also friends dogs while they are out of town. We has a puggle for 15 years, which passed away. Looking for a way to be with animals and get that interaction and loving in with your member of the family. That's how all of our animals were that I've had, they are family. Let me help make your time away from your precious family member be much more relaxed by knowing that he or she is being well taken care of. I send photos to my friends of their dogs when they are gone, so they know that they are doing fine and it makes them happy to see their dogs too. Look forward to meeting you! I currently work part time, so I had plenty of time to care for your pets. Just let me know how I can help make your time away from them easier. Our kids are grown and out of the house too, so have plenty of love to pour into your loved one. I am a nurse by profession, so know how to care for others and I'm no stranger to caring for older animals as we had a 14 year old cat and a 15 year old dog that we loved and cared for their whole lives and will continue to miss them for the rest of ours.

“Macaela was very friendly and thorough. She accepted our request last minute for 4th of July weekend and even stayed past the 30 minute mark each time to ensure that our girl was loved and taken care of. Thanks again Macaela!”


About: I have 7 years of experience taking care of dogs. This includes outside dogs, inside dogs, crated dogs etc. I have experience taking care of puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m currently working part time while doing full time online college, this gives me the opportunity to spend more time at home and focus on pet care! I currently do not have a fenced in back yard, to accommodate for this I walk dogs every two hours to ensure they get enough outside time! I also have a crate for any pups that use one.

“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”


About: I treat every pet like my own with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I’m comfortable with sticking to specific routines, and providing calming companionship for anxious pets. Whether it’s a playful walk or a quiet cuddle session, I tailor my care to each animal’s personality and needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. I build my schedule around giving pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet’s routine stays consistent. I’m flexible and reliable, which means I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs like last minute bookings, regular visits, or overnight stays. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether they’re in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I follow all provided routines closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and play preferences. I keep the space clean, secure, and calm so your pet can relax in their familiar environment.

About: I've taken care of dogs for years, and I'm absolutely ecstatic to meet you and your furry friend! I started out by accompanying my mom on her Rover assignments while in school. We also welcomed Trixie to the family, a 3-year-old mini petite Goldendoodle with a taste for blueberries. Now that I've moved cities, I'm interested in helping others with their furry loved ones. I'm a remote worker, so my flexibility is unmatched. I also enjoy outdoor and active activities, especially when the weather's nice. Thanks for your consideration! I'm a full-time employee for a remote-based, nonprofit news organization, and I'm based in Richmond, VA. I work an early shift (7am-3pm EST), but I have flexibility all day long. Pets under my care have access to a furry-tastic care kit, which includes a water bottle and bowl, snacks, toys, peanut butter and more. Please reach out with any other meeds - I'll be happy to grab them!

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and enjoyed taking care of them along with others pets. They are the highlight of my life and I have the biggest heart for animals. I have always watched neighborhood or family friend’s pets from as young as I can remember. I have volunteered and fostered both cats and dogs and done pet setting frequently. I am currently doing online school so I am very free throughout the daytime and evenings. I am currently not working and am devoted to taking care of others animals. I am very aware of my surroundings and put animals safety as my number one priority. I will always go above and beyond to ensure safety for the pet.

She has watched our dogs on more occasions than I can count while we have been traveling on vacation or just unable to get home to let them out or feed them a meal on a particular day. Although she is not a veterinarian, we have sought her advice on our dogs' health issues because of her many years of experience as a nurse. She has a very joyful, patient and compassionate spirit which enables any animals, or humans, to feel comfortable being with her. I can't think of anyone better to care for your pet than Joy.”
