Emily was great! This was my first experience with Rover and I couldn’t have picked a better person. She was great with my puppy Lola and kept me updated during my whole work trip. She was trustworthy and really just made the whole experience so easy. My Lola was so happy when I got home and looked very well taken care of. Thank you Emily!

Marissa was kind, communicative, calm, and flexible. My flight home got cancelled and I had to rebook my return trip a day later. Marissa immediately agreed to extend her services when I told her what was going on. When I (finally) made it home, Peaty was happy and well-cared for and my apartment was pristine. Would work with Marissa again in a heartbeat!

Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!

About: I am an animal husbandry professional, specializing in reptile and small mammal care. I have formerly volunteered with the SPCA and dog sat periodically for 10 years— on top of caring for my own pets ! As an animal care professional, I have started every day with routine animal husbandry for a variety of animals; I have cared for mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates for over five years. In my home life, I have lived with cats and dogs. Currently, I only have a cat at home and I keep a feeding and cleaning daily routine. When caring for pets in your home, or walking pets, I aim to provide an enrichment and exercise focused care practice. Enrichment is a fundamental need of all animals and I believe in equally caring for their mental and physical needs. While walking pets, I walk with them at their pace and am happy to implement general training practices such as the focus command. While watching pets for an extended period, I prioritize meeting their needs on their regular routine and frequency/intensity so as not to disrupt their regular behaviors and needs.

Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.

About: I absolutely love all dogs! I currently have a jack russell/dachshund mix named Lucas and a franchise named Nora. I have also owned labs, golden-doodles, cocker spaniels and lots of mix breeds. All that being said, I'm comfortable with all types of dogs and energy levels. I also have a very flexible schedule so I am available most of the time to care for your animals. I've had multiple animals stay when their owners are on vacation and love to take them walking/adventuring wherever I go. Dogs are like family and I would love the opportunity to walk/pet sit yours. I also am comfortable meeting you beforehand so you can see if I would be a good fit for your dog! Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you. I currently work as a remote LPC (therapist) and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule so I can prioritize walking and checking in on your pets throughout the day. I will follow the instructions you have for taking care of your dog. I also work from home so I can spend time with them without having to rush to the office.

Mallory was the best choice for our pets! Having two dogs and two cats, it’s not always easy to find the right person to take care of them and we are new to Richmond. She spent the night wit them, making them feel comfortable and keeping us posted via texts and pictures. Our pets loved her, had no issues and she was respectful of our home. She also met us a couple times before the actual stay so that one of our dogs could get familiar with her. Couldn’t recommend her enough, you can tell she actually enjoys spending time with them and cares for their well-being!

I adopted Gobi in May and this was our first time away from him. Emily was super great and from her updates it seems like Gobi had a great time! I was so worried that he was going to be naughty or difficult, but she made it seem really easy. I am so glad we found her and got peace of mind during our trip. I can’t thank you enough!

We could not have asked for a better house-sitting experience than with Ellie. Her communication was top-notch before, during, and after her stay which gave us peace of mind when leaving our senior kitty with health issues and our dog, who gets nervous whenever we're gone overnight. Lots of pictures and updates. She also did a wonderful job keeping our house in order, which is much appreciated when coming home after several days away. If we need pet sitting again, Ellie will definitely be at the top of the list. We highly recommend her!

I had my catsitting plans fall through the day before my trip(!) and contacted Angela here on Rover. Angela was able to come visit my apartment and meet the cats day-of. As soon as I met her I knew my two cats were in great hands. She sent me lots of photos and updates while I was gone, followed my care instructions perfectly, and left my apartment cleaner than she found it. I highly recommend Angela's housesitting services and would be glad to have her watch my cats in the future.
