Kyle took great care of my pup over the weekend. He made sure my dog’s normal routine was followed and spent lots of time giving him attention. Would recommend and will be booking again in the future.

Piper is the best!! Piper stepped in at the last minute when we had an issue with our previous sitter. She gave the pups plenty of love and exercise, and FaceTimed so I could go through their routine and virtually walk her through the house virtually. We truly cannot thank her enough!! To boot, she left the house in immaculate shape. Thank you, Piper ❤️

After a few negative experiences with other sitters on Rover were so relieved to have found Kathleen. She was amazing with our pup, a great communicator and we returned home to a clean house and happy dog. We’ll certainly request to use her again!

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a mom who worked in the Richmond Animal Shelter & a house full of adopted animals. From my sisters spoiled Pibble baby to my neighbors sweet little Yorkie, I’ve been their go to sitter/walker to watch their babies because they know I’ll love on them like my own fur babies 💕 I love to do Meet & Greets prior to your baby’s walk/drop-in if feasible. Coko & I are available Saturdays & Sundays for Meet & Greets! I am a mom of 3 & we have a Shih-poo named Coko. My babies have all grown up around family dogs and understand to be gentle with fur babies. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly so I’m sure we’ll meet a friend or two on ours walks.

Caitlin stayed overnight with our pup for the first time recently, and she was fantastic. She provided updates and lots of pictures throughout her stay, kept him on his routine, and administered a couple of short-term medications (including eye drops). Our plans changed slightly in terms of when we would be returning home and she was able to stay a couple hours later than originally anticipated which was super helpful. She took really good care of our pup, and when we got home, he was really happy and energetic - it was clear he had had a great time with his new friend! We will happily reach out to Caitlin again in the future!

David saved a family weekend getaway when issues with a previous booking caused us to cancel them, but David answered our call at the last minute and saved the day. David was kind and polite and very easy going. Our dogs and cats seemed well taken care of and we enjoyed our weekend away knowing they were in good hands. No issues with David at all, would certainly book again.

Joi was an amazing sitter. Our dog had a health emergency while we were away and she handled it calmly and with great care. She kept us informed and kept our baby safe. It involved spending hours in the vet emergency room and then monitoring the patient every two hours. We are so grateful for her calm and caring.

Marie cared for our dog over the weekend, during a rare snowstorm! The fact that she was able to get our dog out in the less than ideal weather and adjust her own schedule as our travel plans were disrupted was a massive help. Marie went above and beyond for us and our pup!

Kiera was wonderful with our two elderly dogs and senior cat. She administered meds, catered to their individual needs, and sent daily pics. My chihuahua mix is wary with strangers but was cuddling with Kiera in no time. Kiera even brought mealworms to feed our Venus flytrap plant -- which was starving since I only gave it water. She also went above and beyond her duties by helping with a bit of a family emergency involving our travel plans. When we returned from our trip, the house was in good order and the animals were relaxed and happy. She as also prompt, communicative, and professional. We highly recommend Kiera.
