“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 :)”
“Emily was great. This was the first time my dog had someone different staying and it went great! Ringo felt super comfortable around her and had no complaints. I received texts and pictures when she arrived, took him walking, and when he ate. We will definitely be getting Emily to stay again!”
“Emily did a fantastic job as usual! Neko was very relaxed when we got back from our trip and the apartment looked exactly how we left it. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Averi did great with Sandy. We were gone on an extended trip and Averi stayed with Sandy in our home for 16 days. She followed all instructions for Sandy and really carred for her. Sandy loved her time and we got a lot of pictures while we were gone. This helped keep us from worrying to much. She walked, played with, and gave Sandy her medicine. It was christmas and Sveri got Sandy a puppy stocking and photo with Santa. She went above everything we expected. I highly recommend her.”
“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”
“Rachel was fantastic with our pets!! She sent numerous pics and was always extremely communicative of her schedule. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Meghan was such an amazing sitter for our pup! She was super responsive and communicative throughout her whole stay. I had no worries while we were out of town that our sweet boy was well cared for. She’s the best so if you can have her take care of your pet, do it!”
“Brittany has been walking our pups and house sitting for the last year and a half and she is simply the best! We have a large, energetic dog and a tiny, yippy-yappy dog; she handles them both so well. When our big dog got scared during a thunderstorm, she wrapped him in blankets and snuggled with him to calm him down. She is responsive, reliable, and friendly. We are sad to leave C'ville because it will be hard to find another sitter like Brittany!”

“Rachel was amazing! She helped with our dogs while we were gone for the weekend, and both dogs (and our cat) loved her and were so excited to see her. She stayed in communication with us the entire weekend and sent great pictures with updates. She followed all the instructions we left. Both dogs have terrible separation anxiety, but they didn’t seem to miss a beat while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”
“Seline took great care of our two dogs!”
“Sarah took great care of my pup Charlie when I was out of town. She communicated well and Charlie seemed very comfortable and happy the entire time!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kenza was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative and professional, making sure I felt at ease while I was away. What really stood out, though, was how loving and attentive they were to my girls—you can tell Kenza genuinely cares about the pets they look after. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! 🐾💕”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for my close friends, family, and colleagues over the last several years. I've assisted in walking, feeding, cleaning waste, and of course the best part - cuddling! I really do love all animals, but I am definitely a cat lady. :) I recently moved to Richmond and am looking for a new role in IT. While I’m on the job hunt, I figured it would be nice to get to know the area better - what better way than through walks! I’m pretty free most days and at all hours throughout the day. Lately I’ve just been hanging out with my two kitties and fiancé. 😆 Being able to help out anyone in need of a pet sitter is something I look forward to! Unfortunately, I would not be able to board any pets in my own home due to circumstances out of my control. However, I will gladly care for any pets in the clients' homes.
“Steven did a great job with our senior girl. He was communicative, sent updates and pictures and we came home to a happy dog and perfect house. Couldn't ask for anything else.”
“Audrey was fantastic and took great care of our dog! Sent lots of pictures with my doggo looking super happy and was a great guest in our home. Will be booking again! Thanks so much!”
About: I have owned dogs almost my whole life. Growing up many neighbors and friends trusted me to dogsit for them without issue. I am very accommodating and try to be understanding of the dogs emotions. I’m currently unemployed, so I can devote all of my time to your pet. I am able to bring my dog almost everywhere with me and yours could too. We have a spacious apartment with a nice balcony with turf in case of emergencies (my dog never needs it but it’s been helpful with other dogs). I try not to let the dogs get bored by playing with them and bringing them with me wherever I go.

“Janet was an amazing pet sitter for me! I have 2 cats and a dog, and had an unexpected trip out of town. Janet was easy to reach, getting back to me almost immediately and was extremely professional and understanding. One of my kitties, Tica, has to take medicine twice a day. Janet made sure to log all medicine intake, and gave me updates on all my fur babies throughout my trip. She was warm, caring, and thoughtful with my babies, and I was so relieved seeing how quickly they all got along. I will definitely be using Janet’s services again! Thank you!”

Scott's Addition pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are so happy we booked with Ava! Our pets are truly like our children. Leaving them behind is never easy, especially when it comes to finding someone we trust to care for them. Ava was amazing from start to finish. She kept us updated throughout our entire trip and sent daily pictures which gave us peace of mind. We could tell our pets were so happy and well cared for. I highly recommend booking with her – she is wonderful!
Cat took care of our two dogs while we were away on vacation and it couldn’t have gone better. This was the first time my wife and I left our dogs with anyone outside of family and were nervous to leave them, let alone be on the other side of the country. Cat couldn’t have made the process easier. She came and met our dogs a month out from our trip as our older boy can be a little weary of people he doesn’t know, but Cat won him over immediately. Not only did the meet and greet put us at ease, but as soon as we received our first update from Cat we knew we made the right decision and could fully relax and enjoy your trip. Our dogs absolutely loved Cat and she sent the best updates with tons of pictures while we she was taking care of them. Both Fynn and Rosie were so happy and had such a great time. I’m not sure who was on vacation!
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!
I can’t recommend Caitlin enough. She house-sat and cared for my dog, Dusty, while I was away, and everything was flawless from start to finish. She’s incredibly professional, sent regular photo and video updates (which gave me so much peace of mind), and I came home to a happy pup and a spotless home. Not only is she amazing with animals, but I’ve also worked with her before—so I already knew she was reliable, detail-oriented, and just a genuinely good human. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets and your home with the utmost responsibility, Caitlin is it.
Savannah took great care of our cat and angsty dog while we were away! Our house too. She was on top of communication and dog walking, and went above and beyond providing k9 emotional support during a thunderstorm. Would definitely recommend and we look forward to booking her again!
Brianna was great! My dog loved her and and a good time. She was also really great with checking in with me.
Maria watched my dog for a weekend and she was wonderful! Took great care of my home and my sweet girl. Would totally recommend!
Lila was amazing! So communicative with me and very attentive with George! Would recommend 10/10, wish I needed a dogsitter more tbh
We had Alexis stay with our dog for five nights. She was communicative and flexible and clean. But I must tell you that... I'm half tempted to tell you that you was horrible. Terrible. This way no one will book her and I can always book her and she won't won't be tied up with other people lol.
Vivian was great! This was my first time with a Rover sitter while out of the country and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She even offered to check in on Mushu in case my flight got delayed. Vivian also has a cat with feline herpes so I felt at ease knowing she knew how to handle his needs and meds.
Haley was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated on my babies the entire time she was there with pics and messages. She took care of my home as though it was hers. I would absolutely recommend Haley to anyone who wants peace of mind when leaving your babies when having to travel. Thank you Haley!!
Daniel is always so kind and courteous. His communication is always so reassuring to know our animals are in great hands!
Erica took excellent care of our pets while we were out of town. She was very communicative and send plenty of photos and updates. I would recommend her and would happily hire her again.
Steph was amazing with our pup Bella! She stepped in on very short notice and stayed with Bella all weekend, which we truly appreciated. Throughout her stay, Steph kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy (and wonderfully tired!) puppy — no easy task with Bella’s energy! Thank you, Steph, for taking such great care of her. We’re looking forward to having you watch Bella again soon!
Madi watched my dachshund puppy while I was away and was great! She sent tons of picture updates during the week and kept me updated on how he was. Definitely will have her come hang with Theo again in in the future!
Clark took great care of our angsty hound (who was a big fan) and cat whole house sitting. She was communicative and very accommodating when our travel times changed. Would highly recommend!
Rose took great care of our dog and cat for several days while we were away. She keeps in regular contact and we love getting updates and pictures! The house was clean and in order when we got back to two happy pets. We are so grateful for all she does to make sure our pets are loved and cared for when we are away.
Abbey was great with Sophie! Abbey house-sat Soph and Sophie seemed to enjoy herself! I enjoyed the peace of mind of receiving a mid-booking photo of Sophie enjoying her walk. Thanks Abbey!
Jamie was absolutely awesome with Marley!!! She took him on long walks, played with him and fed him!! She sent me some pictures of him as well!! It was so good to see that Marley was so happy with her!! I also received a page long summary of the weekend!! Marley has some hot spots and she gave me some suggestions on how to help with them!!! She definitely went over and beyond!! also got texts each day to let me know how things were going!! I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!! I definitely recommend her!! I will use her in the future!! I am so very glad I found her!! 🐶❤️
