“Mallory did a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our pup!! She took incredible care of everything and sent great updates! She was very flexible and so easy to communicate with and very responsive!”

“This was my first time having someone stay at my house with my pup instead of bringing her somewhere. I completely trust Oli with her, it went well! I look forward to Oli helping my pup again for a wedding in September :)”

“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!”

“Matt was/is amazing! A true hidden gem or maybe not so hidden but either way I'm glad I found him. His immediate calming demeanor was just what my semi high strung energetic dog needed, as well as my timid cat. He was flexible, punctual, incredibly kind, and went above and beyond while caring for my fur babies. It made being away from them that much easier as my mind and heart were at peace. He also sent me lots of photos of them which always brightens my day when I'm away from them. I could not recommend Matt enough.”


“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.”

“First experience with the app it was awesome ❤️ Sara was very caring and great with my two dogs?. Sara was very punctual and she was always keeping me updated with the care of my dog will I was in my trip. I definitely going to get in touch with her for the future caring of my dogs. ?❤️?”

“Alex worked with our one dog who was nervous around him at first. He spent a lot of time at our house with our two dogs while we were on vacation. When we came back our dogs were tired and happy.”

“Kaleigh is amazing! This was the first time leaving my pup and Kaleigh made me feel at ease with consistent communication and updates. She took the time to learn my dog’s personality and routine so she could be as comfortable as possible. I’d definitely recommend Kaleigh!”

“I am absolutely blown away by Jakiya and could not recommend her highly enough. She communicated like a pro and took exceptional care of my Finn and Vada! And, my house looked cleaner than when I left! I am already preparing to book her for another sit. My Finn and Vada wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“Savannah and Tillie are now besties! Savannah was amazing—she took great care of my Tillie Bean and my home. She sent regular updates, brought in packages as needed, and kept everything clean and well-maintained while I was away. I’ll definitely have her stay at my home and watch Tillie again in the future.”

“Michelle did an incredible job house and pet sitting our dog and cat. She communicated well, sent delightful photos and updates, and even handled an unusual house issue safely and with no stress on our end. We can't wait to book with her again!”


About: Hi! I’m an extremely passionate animal lover with a genuine heart for caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I take pride in making every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, small breeds, and dogs with special needs who may need extra patience, attention, or a gentle routine. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always tailor my care to what helps them feel happiest and most secure. I’m available throughout the week and every weekend, making it easy to provide reliable and flexible care whenever you need it. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply a calm companion, I’m committed to treating them like my own and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on your needs. I make time to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency in their routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment and carefully follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions! I’m attentive, reliable, and will treat your pet like my own while keeping you updated for peace of mind.
“First time we’ve ever left our cat and home in the hands of a stranger. We have learned our cat might love Rosemary more than us. ? She kept us up to date with pictures. We’ll definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs and animals my entire life. I have a heart for caring for animals and giving them the best life possible. Can help train younger dogs as I have experience training puppies and reactive dogs. 🚨I also have experience and knowledge of working with reactive dogs (barking, etc.). If your dog needs a bit more TLC and patience, I am happy to offer that to your pup. I ask that you describe in detail how to best set your dog up for success during my time with them and what their typical triggers are so that I keep your pup safe and happy. I’m a young professional living in central Richmond VA. I live a leisure lifestyle outside of work in event planning that includes many walks, plant gardening, and reading. I am also known for the occasional hike! Weekends are usually free as well as pockets of time throughout the day and evenings. Dogs are allowed anywhere in my home! I openly welcome couch snuggles (unless owner would rather place and mat training in place). I want to make my space as comfortable as possible for our furry guests, so will make any accommodations necessary for a relaxing stay with me!

“Larry and I LOVE Emily!!!! I have booked a few times and she has taken such great care of Larry. Most recently I was over seas and Larry needed treatment at the vet. No questions asked, she sprung into gear to get him the best treatment possible. She is Larry's and my life saver.”

“Catherine is an excellent pet sitter. She took wonderful care of our dogs and cats. She is communicative and responsive. I felt confident that our furry family members were well taken care of!”
Sauer's Gardens pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amaya did an amazing job. Love her fun and bubbly personality.She was very consistent with her updates and easy to talk to. Knowing our babies were in her good care made our vacation much more relaxing. I would highly recommend and can't wait to book her again.

If you can successfully walk my dog, you can probably handle just about anything! 😂 My pup is full of energy and thinks every walk is an Olympic pulling event, but Jonatan handled him with patience and confidence reassuring me that my sweet boy was in good hands. I will definitely use Jonatan in the future as he helped me out in a bind for a last minute trip and even came over the night before to meet my pup. Very accommodating, attentive, and kind.
