“Danielle did an excellent job with Otis, kept me updated with pics and videos from her visits. He's not always the quickest to warm up but seemed to take to her on her first visit! Came home to a happy, healthy boy. Would definitely book her to look after him again!”

“Abby is absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and she made it so easy. We have two cats that needed oral medication twice a day for a week. We could rest easy knowing she had it covered. She kept us informed with daily updates and photos. Highly recommended!”

“Jonathan was great! We loved the detailed updates with plenty of pictures. He was responsive when we were scheduling and Bellatrix liked him too!”

“Erica was a huge help to us watching our dog and looking after our garden!! From all the photos my dog looked so happy and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”

“Newish to RVA and first time using Rover. Alyssa was great with my 13yo kitty, Rizzo. She was professional, timely, and communicative. I loved receiving daily photos and updates while I was traveling. Knowing Alyssa was watching my baby gave me peace of mind. I would rebook Alyssa without hesitation!”

“Gabriel took great care of my cat, Nigel! He sent daily photos of my fur child and even took care of some other household needs as necessary while I was away. Wonderful first experience hiring a pet sitter on the app ☺️”
“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!!”


About: A self-proclaimed "cat lady" and lover of animals who's spent years caring for furry family members as well as the lovely homes of their people. (I take great pet pics, too!) It began in the 2000's aughts when I lived at my aunt and uncles home in Maryland, when I took care of their Golden, three cats, and home while they were (often) away. I extended my support to other family/friends. I've also administered meds for pets, including senior pets, and helped pets with bad backs ensure they stay healthy by not jumping, etc. In the real world, I am a communications pro and vocalist who appreciates cool people and cool art. Pets are a gift in life! I am super flexible to adapt to anyone's schedules and routines, seven days per week, morning, afternoon, or evening. My own pet is cared for throughout the day, every day. With my own cat, she eats five times per day (small portions of wet and dry), I play with her, clean her litter box, and attempt to snuggle with her every day. For those with dogs, I basically adhere to their routine. If they can/want to go for longer or more walks, I can support that!
About: 25 years of experience caring for my own dogs. Friends and neighbors also rely on me to pet sit (includes exercise, play, meals, and meds) I work from home in Church Hill and am able to provide care in the morning, mid day, and evening. I do my best to ensure that they stick to their usual routine. All dogs also get a leashed walk - length and pace depends on their physical condition (older dogs may be more interested in sniffing and strolling while younger pups need to burn more energy). I also provide some playtime inside or outside in a fenced area (if available). Meals and medication are distributed as instructed.
“Eliza did a great job walking Teddy! She was on time and took photos. I can tell she is comfortable with dogs and in tune with their needs. Teddy was excited to walk with her and was a happy dog when he came home! I will definitely be hiring her again for more walks.”


“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”

“Kade was awesome with my cat, Sadie! This was my first time using Rover and the experience was great. Kade left good notes after each visit and sent pictures. I’ll definitely rebook with Kade next time I go out of town :)”

“Kacey was amazing with my kitten. She sent me lots of pictures and made me feel at ease while I was away. I would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have had a pet in my home since I was 5 years old, so I absolutely know what it takes to care for them! I have a very sweet 10 year old dog named Callie May and she is my world! She's a sweetheart and amazing with all other animals too! I look forward to meeting you and your pet and taking them on multiple adventures around this beautiful city we call home! Message me today and we'll get this adventure started! I work from home, for the most part, so my schedule is pretty open! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions at all! I have a beautiful big fenced in yard in the Northside in a lovely walkable neighborhood! Your pet will absolutely be spoiled with me (but only if you're okay with that!)
About: I just love critters! I love hanging out with your furry legged friends and would love to take care of yours if at all possible. I do work full time: however, I have my own transportation and can be somewhat flexible on my office hours. I’m used to working crazy hours all day! Can do drop ins as well as overnights, but will need to go into the office during the day. I make sure they’re happy and comfortable, following instructions to a T and spending as much time as possible with them to ensure they’re happy and healthy!
“Emma was awesome! Super responsive and never made me wonder about our pets; she gave me updates both during and after the check-in. I would definitely trust her again with our boys!”

“Cat has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I scheduled her last minute for daily drop-in services with my dog, Koko. Even though it was a short turnaround time (I made the request Saturday morning for services starting on Monday), Cat came to our house that same day to meet Koko and discuss what I was looking for in drop-in services. Over the past week, Cat has been an excellent communicator, has consistently arrived on time, and has really catered her care to Koko's preferences (e.g., playing ball with her in our yard, convincing her to eat something at lunchtime even though she's picky). I have already booked another drop-in session with Cat for next week and will certainly continue to work with her in the future! I highly recommend working with Cat!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shockoe Slip
Kelly was amazing as always! It feels like she goes above and beyond to care for the three cat kiddos while we are gone! From bringing a toy she thinks they would like to moving the trash bins or checking the mail she is a wonderful person! She is one of the only ones I trust to watch my babies!

I had a good experience with Paula! She was very thoughtful with my elder alpha male cat and asked good questions! She also assisted with taking out the trash while I'm experiencing a sudden pop up of gnats. I appreciated her proactive communications and will definitely consider her again the future!

Gabriel was awesome to work with! He was professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he was great with our anxious dog and even helped care for our home by watering plants and checking the mail. I cannot recommend him enough! Anyone who books with him should consider themselves luck. We’ll definitely book with him again

Makenzie was able to help us out last minute, and we’re so grateful! She took such great care of our baby, and Bella had so much fun with her. 🐶❤️ Makenzie communicated very well and sent us lots of pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much, Makenzie! We will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!
