1. Kade M.
“Kade is awesome! Our dog is a handful, but Kade matches him stride for stride. The house is always just as well left it, if not better, and they are always going above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
2. Andrew C.
“Andrew has been by far the best dog walker you could ask for. Always going above and beyond. He literally offered to install the portable AC in my house while I was at work and the AC went out. Leaving Richmond is going to be hard but finding anyone better with my dog will be impossible!”
3. Jonathan T.
“He was very polite, respectful, and professional. He took time with my dog and provided feedback of how he was doing throughout the day and wonderful pictures.”
4. Devinder K.
“Devinder is very friendly and makes sure your pet gets the care they need. My dog Sylvester is being left alone in the home for the first time since COVID started and Devinder makes him feel comfortable while I'm away. Devinder is great about sending updates and photos. Definitely booking again!”
5. Lila D.
“When I met Lila prior to starting I knew she would be a great fit for our girl with her sweet, calm demeanor. We had Lila visit our older Terrier Harriet twice a day for exercise and loves and medicine over a long weekend. Lila did a wonderful job of keeping us informed in detail through the app real time of all their activities. With the addition of photos, it gave us tremendous peace of mind so we could enjoy our trip, knowing our fur baby was happy and in good hands! We'll definitely be using Lila again!”
6. Kyle J.
“This was my first time using Rover services. Kyle was fantastic! My pet was well taken care of, my home was just as I left it and the communication from Kyle during my absence was perfect. Not only will I use Rover again; fingers crossed that Kyle will have openings on his schedule for me.”
7. Maria & Luis V.
“This was our first experience using Rover, and we’re so happy we were able to book Maria and Luis to care for our cats over the Christmas holiday. From the time we contacted them to book, they were a pleasure to work with. They were responsive and flexible with our schedule, made instant friends with our very aloof cats, and kept us up to date on every visit. They’re fantastic sitters. Highly recommend!!”
8. Julia B.
“Julia did a wonderful job taking care of Rummo while we were out of town for a few nights. She took the time to come meet him prior to our trip and had no trouble following our care instructions. She sent plenty of pictures while we were away and even spent extra time with him after their walks. I highly recommend Julia if you are in need of a reliable individual to take care of your pets. Thank you Julia!”

16. Olivia K.
“Olivia was FANTASTIC! I received a daily update and photos! My cat, Lumen, clearly liked Olivia as well (depicted by photos), and she’s very shy. I give Olivia the highest of recommendations and will definitely call Olivia in the future. ?”
17. Catherine C.
“Catherine was such a good dog sitter for Henry! Normally he is a bit upset with me after I come home from a trip, but he barely missed a beat with her taking care of him! She is great with animals, and so friendly and bubbly! Definitely will have her watch him again for my next trip. Couldn’t be happier.”
18. Alyssa S.
“Alyssa took the best care of my two kitties for a week! We feed our cats pre-packaged raw food and use a litter robot and Alyssa immediately picked up on both. She provided detailed updates with lots of pictures and gave the kitties lots of love, attention, and play time! Will definitely re-book Alyssa in the future”
19. Carly S.
“Carly is dog (and cat) CPR certified which is a rare find. She used to work at a vet clinic so is very knowledgeable on dog care for many breeds. Lastly she is a dog lover and will take the best care of your fur baby!”
