“Alex is so sweet and took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away for a week! They sent regular updates and was really communicative, and flexible with our travel plans. The pups had a great time! They also left the house clean and tidy. We would easily use Alex again!”

“Sara was great! We left our Nailah home for a night while we went on a trip and she took good care of her. She sent pictures as well as updates while we were gone and our Nailah really seemed to love her. Would highly recommend 10/10”

“Alex took great care of our two dogs! He sent daily updates and photos. Our dogs really enjoyed their time with him. He left the house clean and tidied up. Very happy with the care our dogs got while we were gone, especially our senior!”
“haley took wonderful care of my three pups this weekend. i have two mini-aussies and an aussie/husky mix, so basically three high-energy and high-velcro pups. from their gps/fitness collars, i saw she was going above and beyond to make sure they were well-exercised. through the cameras, i saw she was taking the time to sit on the couch and watch tv for a few hours a day to keep them company as well and the pups were either flipped over for belly rubs or asleep on the floor. haley was very communicative and sent lots of pictures as well.”

“Lindy was amazing! They gave us great updates every day on how Laika was doing, and what they were up to everyday. And lots of adorable pictures in which it was clear Laika was having a great time with them. Highly recommend!”

“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”


“Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: I am recently retired from a 27 year career with adults with disabilities on a 500 acre farm. I have owned 3 dogs and 1 cat as an adult and lived with dogs throughout my childhood. I would love to come care for your pet(s) in their own home while you are away or on vacation. I prefer medium or small sized dogs and a cat or two. I am discreet, clean and responsible. If preferred, I could also just drop in for a visit of feeding, playing with or letting out for toileting. I live in Richmond and would drive up to 20 miles to provide this service. I can provide character references as well as house/dog sitting refernces. I won't let you down! I am currently retired and have flexible availability.i am.able to sleep.over at your home or make daily visits. I travel a few weeks each month but am available quite often. I can come and care for your dogs or cats in their own home. I can sleep over or come a few times in the day, whichever works well for you and your pet(s). I could also just walk your dog about 3 times a day, depending on how far you are from my Manchester neighborhood.

“Tess is the absolute best! I have two young puppies (one under 4 months) and she has given me total peace of mind traveling and leaving my babies in her hands! My last trip was 13 days and she sent pictures and videos daily, along with giving my youngest pup medicine and cleaning his little ears! Also just walked into a spotless house! Thank you, Tess! Highly recommend! (Already have future stays booked) ????”

“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing dogsitting for my Lola while I was away for a couple of days. I got frequent updates and photos (always love those). Would definitely use her again!”

“Cheyenne did a wonderful job caring for our 3 aussies in our home while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and responsible. We will definitely hire her again for our pet care needs!”

“Zander did a great job taking care of our dog and bringing in the mail. He was great about adjusting walk times to deal with very high outdoor temperatures and playing with our dog inside to make sure he got enough exercise. He sent lots of photos and notes. He was great with communicating. Our dog was healthy and happy when we returned after a week's vacation. Highly recommend!”

“Jazmine was great with Kona for an overnight stay, which was our first experience on Rover. Jazmine communicated with us promptly and professionally, took great care of the home and our main man Kona, and she helped us navigate the Rover technology - Highly recommend her if this is your first time. We will definitely book her again.”


“Vijay is amazing! She took amazing care of my 4 month old puppy in my home. I returned to a calm, happy puppy. We communicated while I was gone and Vijay sent me photos of my little rascal. She is an incredibly kind person who connnects to animals AND humans! I just hired her again for a last minute 9 day trip. I know some of the sitters’ fees are lower than Vijay’s, but trust me, she is worth every penny!!!”
