“Riley was fantastic! We are new at this (first family dog) as we have a puppy and Riley was a huge help to jump in at the last minute. She was kind enough to fit us in her already tightly booked schedule as we were in a huge bind! She updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Thanks Riley!! We will definitely contact her again!”

About: Hello there! My name is Sammy and I have been around animals all of my life and they have inspired me in so many different ways. I have been managing doggy daycare/boarding facilities for a little over 3 years now so I guess you can say pet care is my specialty! I am dog and cat CPR certified, certified through the DHA (dog handler academy),I know how to give injections, and my knowledge on dog behavior is quite extensive. I have decided to go back to school as well which is why my schedule is so open. Currently I own a 2 year old Golden Retriever as well as the cutest cat ever that are both my world. I hope you decide to let me into your pets heart as I treat every pet like my own. ~Wags & Wiggles, Sammy🐾 I am going back to school which means I have a very open schedule. I am also pretty flexible with times and last minute bookings. When it comes to a clients home,I always like for us to meet before I start my services so everyone feels more comfortable. I will also provide pictures for my clients of your fur baby & I having a good time!

“Cynthia was amazing with my dog and was great with keeping us updated on how he was doing. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our boy!!!!”

“Kate made our first Rover experience amazing. Our dog was well taken care of with a great walk and feeding. The pics we got were super thoughtful and it was really comforting to see our pup so happy while we were gone. Highly recommend her and will be rebooking when needed! Thanks so much Kate!”

“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”

About: I have taken care of multiple 8 week old pups & 8+ y/o ones as well. I would say I am trained all over the pup spectrum. My jobs are flexible & I normally can be available Monday-Sunday for all your pet sitter needs! So taking care of your pets will not be a problem. I prioritize each pet’s unique needs & routines, whether in my home or the client’s home. In my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation with the help of 3 dogs who I share a home with. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, & any specific care instructions. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I keep the home tidy & communicate regularly with updates & photos to give peace of mind. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care as if they were my own pets.

“Absolutely wonderful! Flexible, came early when I asked, was so perfect with the dogs, easy to work with, accommodating, professional, got the job done and gave 110%! I have two tired pups!”

About: I have always loved animals and never come across a dog or animal I didn't like. I have two dogs that are truly my babies, and I treat any dog I come across as I would my own. I take my boys walking every day, sometimes hiking and other fun stuff like that. I am in college for nursing and would like an additional income and felt this is a good way to make some extra cash. I have experience with all types of animals being that I used to work at a Vet's office and I am dependable and trustworthy. I guarantee you will be more than satisfied with my services and i am very flexible and able to deal with older, or needier animals. Thanks for looking!

About: My name is Mary Catherine, also known as Katie. I am a nationally certified and licensed Veterinary Technician. I have been involved in veterinary medicine and shelter work since 2005. I currently have 3 cats of my own, and have had dogs and cats and various other animals all my life. I know how very important it is to find someone you trust to care for your babies while out of town or in need of assistance. I would love to be that person to care for your beloved family member when you need someone to walk them, care for them while you are out of town, or stop in to give medications and TLC! I am not only a dog lover, but a self proclaimed cat lady and would love to care for your feline friends as well!

About: Over the years I have had several cats. They have their own unique personalities and are very loving. My last cat I lost due to cancer, Sam was loved and still miss him greeting me at the door. I feel strongly that if you don’t treat your animals as family you shouldn’t have them. Animals love unconditionally which makes them very special. unconditionally which makes them very special. I am retired which allows me time to be flexible within your needs for your pet/pets. I am available everyday except Saturday the exception would be if I am taking care of your pet for the week I will include Saturday as well. I will take care of your pet as I would my own. I will give your pet the attention beyond what is needed. I know your pet will miss his/her master however I will ease this by playing with them, petting and reassuring their safety and make sure they eat. Your instruction will be followed completely. I will communicate after each visit so you will have peace of mind.

About: I have a Great Dane who is sensitive, so I know how to be patient with animals. I also have the ability to handle XL sized dogs. I have also fostered dogs before and have always had an animal in my life. I'm currently focusing on just working for Rover so my schedule is wide open for all your dog and cat needs! The passion for animals is my routine! I have a Great Dane and a cat who have free roam in my apartment. I also have a giant crate if needed. I take my dog out multiple times and day and provide exercise to ensure optimum health.

“It is always hard to leave our dog when we travel. Long trips out of the country are even harder, you really have to know your dog is in good hands! Vijay has been that person for us for a few extended trips, as well as the occasional afternoon dogwalk. I am always confident that our dog is in good hands. Vijay sends updates and photos and our neighbors have even noted how relaxed our dog is with her.”

About: I have been involved with dogs and all animals since I was a child. I started with dog rescue 20 years ago and dog training 15 years ago. I believe in pawsitive reinforcement - my personal philosophy is not to use the word No, uh-uh, no pinch collars, etc. I also have taught dogs ASL (american sign language). This helps communication with you and your fur baby. I love when pet parents have a look of amazement when I work/watch their kiddo for just 15 minutes. It's important to me that your furbaby is happy and stress free when you leave them with me. You will get daily updates and photos. We can aslo video chat to say good morning and good night to you. :) When I housesit I am there 24/7. Your pets are my passion! I look forward to meeting you soon. This is my job - I am with your pets 24/7. Yon have to worry about them being alone for the entire time I am sitting. I currently do not board any pets in my home. This may change in the future depending on the pets. Case by case basis. :)

About: Hi there! I’m a cat & dog mom who loves to meet new furry friends. I’ve always had a pet growing up (dogs, cats, birds, fish - you name it), so I’ll care for yours as if they’re my own. I love bringing my lab/beagle mix, Daisy, to local dog parks and all my pets love car rides. If you're ever interested, we have tons of toys we're more than happy to pass along if you’d like :) Prior to starting Rover in April 2021, I served as a Senior Animal Rights Advocate for The Humane Society of the United States. Throughout my canvassing efforts in the Richmond area, I had the honor of informing the public on current animal rights issues, national/local legislation, and shared how our community could actively stay involved. I have also worked for a small animal hospital in Carytown in the past where I regularly scheduled spay/neuter surgeries and vaccination appointments. I have an extensive amount of experience handling dogs, cats, and rabbits of many sizes! I loved learning about the medical side of pet wellbeing from the veterinarian and vet techs I worked with - I regularly use this clinical experience combined with my compassion for animals to provide the best care possible. I’m tidy, kind, and fun - Your pet will be spoiled and loved on so much by me. Not only do I love providing detailed notes for each visit (either via Rover card or Google Keep), but I take lots of photos throughout my stay so you're always kept in the loop with how your pet is doing. I provide professional petsitting/Rover services on a full-time basis. You can be rest assured that I will dedicate the quality time & care you are looking for. Staying respectful of your home & privacy while providing quality care is of utmost importance to me. When housesitting, I ensure your pet(s) are comfortable & double check all locks in the house before leaving & going to bed! I take the same precautions for drop-in visits and walks. If you have any special requests, just let me know & I can accommodate!
