“Sheri was incredible. Made plenty of time for our dog and made sure he was comfortable and received lots of care. Sent pics and updates throughout the day. Will 100% call her again if we need a sitter!”


2. Dawn B.


“Dawn was a true lifesaver when we were in town for my daughter's graduation, and needed help watching our pup who has separation anxiety. She remained flexible throughout our weekend of constantly changing plans. She had great communication and feedback and I always knew that our pup was doing well at her house in her care. Thank you for taking such great care of Enzo, and helping to make graduation weekend a success, Dawn!”


3. Caroline R.

4. Emily B.

“Best Rover experience ever! Emily treats our pup as her own, lavishing them with fun excursions, pup cups, and even practicing commands. I feel so much peace knowing I can rely on Emily and Sean to look after my fur baby, and our pup is always excited to visit her friend and surrogate family!”


5. Cindy T.


“Cindy is a wonder! My scaredy-dog loves her, and went to her willingly even though it had been a long time since his last visit. She asked if I’d like her to give him a bath, and that was a very welcome addition. Thank you Cindy!”


6. Julie W.

“Peyton took wonderful care of my pup for the day. She left the most detailed notes, provided photos, and was super friendly. Thanks for the peace of mind, Peyton! I’ll definitely be contacting her again.”


11. Alethea S.


“We were so pleased at how Alethea cared for our nervous dog Echo. She was onboard with getting to know Echo in advance and taking time out of her day to stop by and visit prior to the “official” pet sitting we needed. Her frequent updates as to how the pet sitting was going, allowed us to relax while we were hosting an event. We highly recommend Alethea, she is wonderful and your animals would be lucky to have her for walks or doggy day care! Thanks Alethea!”


12. Taryn A.

“Taryn and her husband were great with Chase. Taryn put my mind at ease with the care she provided for Chase. Will definitely book again. Thank you for all the pics and love shown towards my lil man. I truly appreciate you !”


13. George T.

“Jax seemed really happy to go back, nice guy. Only complaint, and not a horrible thing, all other Rover's send updates and pictures throughout the day, we didn't get anything like that, but Jax went on 2nd day and was really happy to see him, so not a deal breaker”


14. Matt M.

“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”


15. Andrea M.

“I had a great experience! Our boy Bernard was so well taken care of. Walks, treats, and pictures through out the day. I enjoy the peace of mind while I go to work that our boy, Bernard, is in very good hands. :)”


16. Katelynn R.

“This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”


17. Pamela & Paul H.
About: My husband and I have taken care of dogs our entire lives. While we have had large dogs breeds we specialize in small dogs. We both are able to provide medicine as necessary as we have experience with severely sick dogs. We currently have a 1 1/2 year old French Bulldog mix who loves everyone. He would especially love your dog to be his constant playmate! My husband and I currently work from home so we have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur baby. We will provide them with all the love and attention they desire. We have a fenced in 1/2 acre yard but no jumpers please. We do not have a privacy fence but your dog will be secured. If your dog prefers to be in a crate, we can accommodate.


18. Ashley R.

“Ashley took great care of my Facui. She get very nervous in new environments, but Ashley took her in like she was one of her own. Provided numerous photos of playtime. Very flexible and accommodating.”




19. Amanda E.

“Toffee could not have been happier to return to Amanda's for some last minute day care.”


20. Nicholas P.
“As a dog walker on Rover myself for the last two years and a lifetime animal owner, I have a good understanding in what to look for in an animal caretaker. Nicholas would undoubtedly be a great choice for anyone’s animal. Nick is a level-headed and responsible young adult, who, for as long as I’ve known him, has been extremely passionate about the health, safety, and care of all animals. I have seen these attributes through both the display in his own relationship with his dogs and when he took care of my animals for me, countless times. He is understanding, compassionate, and a great communicator, which leads me to know how great a dog walker, animal sitter, and/or caretaker he will be! I give my highest recommendations as a friend and customer of Nick.”
