“Jessica was fantastic with providing clear communication, including updates, photos, and how our pupper was doing! Very pleasant experience and would recommend/have again in the future.”
“Grace was awesome! She was so helpful with toby, always sending me picture updates of her drop in with Toby. I will definitely be reaching out to her again with any help I need with Toby:-)”
“I can’t say enough good things about Arin! Quick replies, very professional and friendly meet and greet, detailed updates and photos, and just general love for my dood! 10 out of 10 do recommend!”
“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!”
“McKenzie is the best! She was confident, communicative, and punctual, and she took great care of Mac. She sent lots of updates and pictures and we came home to a happy and healthy hound.”
“Mark was super amazing while taking care of my two boys! This is the longest I’ve left them and Mark made me feel at ease. I received notes and pictures daily, and the cats looked happy. As my trip was ending, Mark made sure to check in with me and told me to let him know if anything came up. Unfortunately, something did come up and my flight was canceled, and I wouldn’t be able to return for another day. Mark was flexible and able to check in an additional day. It meant so much to me and relieved some of the anxiety and stressed caused by the cancelation. I’ve really loved working with Mark and I’m looking forward to working with him again!”
“Highly recommend Elizabeth! She was great with Huey and sent me updates and photos everyday :) Huey was so happy when I came home, and I know that's because he had a great time with his new friend, haha! Would use her again, for sure.”
“Mai was great, Mac loved her at first sight and was very well taken care of! Mai was very punctual, send lots of good notes and pictures, and Mac seemed very happy and relaxed with her”

“Helena has provided excellent care for my puppy, shared great photos and reports for each visit, and always maintained great communication with me. She was very observant from day one, followed instructions and always kept me abreast of any changes or concerns regarding my pet. Thanks, Helena!”
“Brittany is such a wonderful sitter. She's incredibly responsive and sends thorough updates with adorable pictures. She goes above and beyond, and it's obvious that she really cares about providing top quality pet care. I'd recommend her to anyone!”
“I recently booked Mallory for an overnight stay happening in a few weeks. Yesterday I found myself in a pinch when my regular drop-in sitter wasn’t available last-minute, so I reached out to Mallory and she really saved the day! I so appreciate her quick responses, all the awesome pictures of my dog and the video of them playing together. Oh and the doggie report on his business. It’s quite comforting to have that level of attention and communication provided when your precious pets are in the care of others. Very grateful to have found her!”
“Katie is wonderful! I loved getting an update and picture of Henry when she visited him. It’s so nice having a reliable petsitter. I will definitely ask Katie to take care of my boy again!”
“Cassie was dependable and on time. She did great with my dogs. I will be hiring her for future pet sitting needs-- although I don't travel often, it is nice having a trusted pet sitter when needed. Highly recommend!”
About: I treat every dog or cat as if it’s my own. I will love on them all day long. I have a mini aussie so I’m very used to high energy dogs and keeping them entertained. I’ve taken care of all different types of breeds from small pups to large pups and I love them all. I’m very comfortable with all dogs whether they’re playful or shy. I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week. I work during the weekdays as a babysitter assisting with after school care, but get off at 6. Other than work or maybe an occasional doctors appointment, I’m free plenty throughout the day to watch your pup. I really enjoy spending quality time with dogs and want to create a safe, comfortable, environment for them to be in. I love to be able to socialize your dog with others and take them to the dog park or on walks on nature trails. Depending on what your dog’s typical schedule is, I can always accommodate it.
“Carina was incredibly patient with my dog who is nervous with new people. She is obviously very good with animals! She was also very reliable and responsive! 100% would have her back and recommend her to others!”

University Of Richmond pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot recommend Nyla highly enough as a dog sitter! From the very first visit, Nyla connected with my pup and instantly put both of us at ease. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. Nyla goes above and beyond by sending me detailed updates, photos, and even little notes about how my dog is doing during her visits. It’s clear she loves what she does, and my dog absolutely adores her. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in such capable and loving hands when I can’t be there. I highly recommend her to anyone else needing a sitter. Thank you, Nyla, for your amazing care—you’ve truly made a difference!
