“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”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor — a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities. I had my own dog for almost 16 wonderful years, and she was truly a beloved part of my life. After she passed, I began fostering because I couldn’t imagine life without dogs. I’ve now fostered several dogs, each with their own needs, quirks, and snuggle preferences. I’m patient, attentive, and love helping dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether that means giving extra cuddles, creating calm routines, or simply being a reassuring presence. I’m also a very active person, so if your dog enjoys long walks or even going for runs, I’m happy to match their energy. High-energy pups are always welcome! My goal is to make your dog feel at home and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry family member and care for them like my own. I work 100% remote so spend the majority of my day at home and would be with your furry friend. I am able to easily bake in walks and playtime during my workday to ensure they get the attention and exercise they need! We have a nice porch and a fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy time outside without worry. We also have a crate here for up to 70 lbs dog and can safely crate your pet to ensure they are comfortable and safe if left alone.
“Myrna is a great sitter. She has taken excellent care of Starbuck. We have scheduled doggie day care and boarding. Myrna's schedule is flexible and she works with us on drop off and pickup times. We will continue to use Myrna's services.”

“Ariel was absolutely wonderful taking care of Georgie all day! Her own dogs were sweet and well behaved, and Georgie adored being a member of the pack, and playing with her daughter. My absolute highest recommendation!!”

“Jordan was amazing! Kept us up to date with how the pup was doing and sent great photos. Put us at ease while we were working, especially because it was her first time in daycare.”

“Jasmine was a total lifesaver with her ability to take my puppy in with less than a day’s notice. She took such excellent care of Runa, keeping her actively engaged in various activities as well as keeping me posted throughout the day. Runa is home now and sleeping like a rock. Couldn’t recommend Jasmine more.”

“Great pet sitter! Natalie was prompt in responding and sent regular updates throughout the visit. My dog seems to have had a great time. Definitely recommend this sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and love them to pieces. Looking to spend more time with them and help others care for their own pets when needed! Can’t get my own dog right now so wanting some more quality pet time. I’m currently applying to medical jobs and not yet working, so have a lot of availability and general flexibility. Will likely start new job in 6/2026 and will then have more weekend or only after work hours availability. I live in an apartment in Richmond in Scott’s addition which is walkable but fairly urban, plenty of spots to go potty though. They have a fenced in area for dogs to play but it is limited in space. There are larger parks nearby and I am always down for long play times or walks to give your pupper needed exercise and attention:) Really care for dogs deeply and will do anything to make your pet feel cared for and happy. Open to house sitting.

“We had a last minute (day of) request for our two dogs. One recently had tooth extracted and the other has allergies and separation anxiety. Alexandra cared for these needs without any complaints! Alexandra did amazing with our two dogs! One of our dogs has bad separation anxiety, but he was immediately comfortable with Alexandra and wasn’t worried about us leaving! Alexandra treats your dogs as her own. I would definitely recommend her and use her again if I end up back in the area!”

Southern Barton Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Matt is fantastic. My dog Ru loves going to his house so much that she sprints to his front door and will not look back for me at all. She has a great time with him and when I pick her up she is happy and tired in the best way. He clearly has a great understanding of dogs and is very professional and communicative. I feel completely confident leaving my girl there and I know she has the absolute best care.

I’m so grateful that I found them to take care of my old senior dog. He requires medications, a lot of love and attention and he gets exactly what he needs. I get a very happy pup after a long day at work. I’m looking forward to using Natalie for future bookings as I now trust her to take care of my fur baby.

I had concerns about low fencing which wasn’t a problem. Stacey was able to get a long tie out cable where Mase was able to roam and explore her large yard. She was responsive and sent updates and pictures! Stacey will definitely be seeing Mase again in the near future!

Elizabeth is amazing! Bear has significant separation anxiety and it was clear from the minute he met Elizabeth he was going to be fine. She sent me pictures and videos of him and he was calm and at ease at her home. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Elizabeth!
