“Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!”

“Holland is an excellent, professional, and communicative sitter. She went the extra mile, and on short notice, and I would rebook and recommend her services to anyone.”

“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”

“So grateful for Catherine! She was so accommodating for our last minute request. Gave us tons of options as to what could work best given the inclement weather. She made sure our baby was loved and followed her routine as usual. Would definitely recommend her and will be booking again for any future needs!!!”

“Sydney took great care of my cat who was always happy to be with her. She alerted me to any unusual circumstances going on with the cat, house, and even the packages arriving. I would trust her with any pet!”

“Amanda was phenomenal with taking care of Indi while I was out of town. Indi was feeling very sick and Amanda gave consistent updates and went above and beyond to help take care of her and make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Amanda, will definitely be rebooking for the future!”

“Thanks so much! Kirby was on time and so great with the puppy! Such a relief knowing that our puppy is getting such great attention from someone we can trust!”

“Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have alot of experience with pet sitting within my neighborhood and family friends. I am a full time elementary education major at VCU, I am looking for a part time opportunity to make extra money. I am free in the mornings from 6-8am, 12:30-3pm, and 7pm to 9pm on Mondays and Tuesdays. Then for Wednesdays and Thursdays I am from from 6am-7am and from 3pm to 9pm as I am in the public schools. I am willing to open my availability on Fridays as well. I am willing and ready to step in wherever you need me. I have a lot of experience with dogs specifically but I am also pretty familiar with cats.
“Kallie was a great sitter. She was able to connect quickly with me when I had to go out of town last minute. Ragnar was well taken care of. Would recommend her to folks looking for a pet sitter and would use her again.”

“Elijah is the absolute best! He is one of the few people my really shy cat is warmed up too and always does an incredible job of communicating and sending cute pictures!”

“Erica was friendly, on time, sent a lot of cute pictures, and overall made me feel at ease with leaving my guys in her care. I would definitely have her pet sit again!”

“Danielle was fantastic for when we needed a sitter last minute. Very thorough, great communication/ updates, and took great care of our dog. Would recommend and use Danielle again,”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Alyssa. They took such thoughtful care of Mabel and Sweet Pea, making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well-loved while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our cats were in kind, reliable hands. We would happily book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for truly attentive care.”

“Abby is the very best. She’s cared for our cat Billie 4 or 5 times, and Billie just loves her. She is always responsive and so kind. Can’t recommend Abby more!!”

“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!”

Southern Barton Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elizabeth has been wonderful with my dog, Scar! She watches her two days a week while I’m at work and has been consistently reliable, communicative, and kind. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing Scar is in such good hands during the day. I can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and Scar always seems happy and well taken care of after their time together. I’d absolutely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!

I am ALWAYS so happy when I go out of town and Elijah is available to feed + love on my cat. Elijah does a fantastic job. He puts lots of details in his daily/nightly reports, sends great pics, and my house always looks great when I get back home. I would highly, highly recommend Elijah!!

Jeffrey is the most consistent and responsible sitter we have had in a long time! He cares for our three little nuggets like they are his own. It’s always hard to leave them behind for any lengthy period of time but Jeffrey makes it just a bit easier knowing they are getting loved on and receiving top notch care!!
