“Kade was awesome with my cat, Sadie! This was my first time using Rover and the experience was great. Kade left good notes after each visit and sent pictures. I’ll definitely rebook with Kade next time I go out of town :)”

“Jonathan was great! We loved the detailed updates with plenty of pictures. He was responsive when we were scheduling and Bellatrix liked him too!”

“Emily was awesome at looking after my cat son, Jason! He won’t stop talking about her, which is strange because he never spoke in full sentences prior to me being gone. Highly recommended!”

“Eddie provided good drop-in care for our 2 dogs while we were away for the weekend. We appreciated how he reinforced our dog training efforts at the meet and greet.”

“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!”

“Newish to RVA and first time using Rover. Alyssa was great with my 13yo kitty, Rizzo. She was professional, timely, and communicative. I loved receiving daily photos and updates while I was traveling. Knowing Alyssa was watching my baby gave me peace of mind. I would rebook Alyssa without hesitation!”

“Meghan was great for drop-ins for our cats and guinea pigs while we were away for a week. Left photos, messages, the house was clean, everything you would expect. Would definitely recommend!”

“This was our first experience using Rover, and we’re so happy we were able to book Maria and Luis to care for our cats over the Christmas holiday. From the time we contacted them to book, they were a pleasure to work with. They were responsive and flexible with our schedule, made instant friends with our very aloof cats, and kept us up to date on every visit. They’re fantastic sitters. Highly recommend!!”

“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!”


About: A self-proclaimed "cat lady" and lover of animals who's spent years caring for furry family members as well as the lovely homes of their people. (I take great pet pics, too!) It began in the 2000's aughts when I lived at my aunt and uncles home in Maryland, when I took care of their Golden, three cats, and home while they were (often) away. I extended my support to other family/friends. I've also administered meds for pets, including senior pets, and helped pets with bad backs ensure they stay healthy by not jumping, etc. In the real world, I am a communications pro and vocalist who appreciates cool people and cool art. Pets are a gift in life! I am super flexible to adapt to anyone's schedules and routines, seven days per week, morning, afternoon, or evening. My own pet is cared for throughout the day, every day. With my own cat, she eats five times per day (small portions of wet and dry), I play with her, clean her litter box, and attempt to snuggle with her every day. For those with dogs, I basically adhere to their routine. If they can/want to go for longer or more walks, I can support that!
“This was my first time using Rover and having someone watch our Frenchie, Nova, while we were out in Nassau, Bahamas for a week and Kayley was amazing! We were a little nervous at first, but she made us feel so comfortable with her consistent updates, photos, and care. She took Nova on long walks, gave her lots of playtime and attention, and made sure she was safe and happy every day. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. I’d highly recommend Kayley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pet!”

“Emma was awesome! Super responsive and never made me wonder about our pets; she gave me updates both during and after the check-in. I would definitely trust her again with our boys!”

“Amazing communication and so sweet with my pup. She sent the cutest photos and I plan on continuing to use Maggie for all services!! 10/10 would recommend”

“Abby is absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and she made it so easy. We have two cats that needed oral medication twice a day for a week. We could rest easy knowing she had it covered. She kept us informed with daily updates and photos. Highly recommended!”

“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”

“Erica was a huge help to us watching our dog and looking after our garden!! From all the photos my dog looked so happy and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”

“Gabriel took great care of my cat, Nigel! He sent daily photos of my fur child and even took care of some other household needs as necessary while I was away. Wonderful first experience hiring a pet sitter on the app ☺️”

“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”

Kelly was amazing as always! It feels like she goes above and beyond to care for the three cat kiddos while we are gone! From bringing a toy she thinks they would like to moving the trash bins or checking the mail she is a wonderful person! She is one of the only ones I trust to watch my babies!

I had a good experience with Paula! She was very thoughtful with my elder alpha male cat and asked good questions! She also assisted with taking out the trash while I'm experiencing a sudden pop up of gnats. I appreciated her proactive communications and will definitely consider her again the future!

Gabriel was awesome to work with! He was professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he was great with our anxious dog and even helped care for our home by watering plants and checking the mail. I cannot recommend him enough! Anyone who books with him should consider themselves luck. We’ll definitely book with him again

Ashley is an incredible pet sitter! She is great with my two cats, one of whom is very timid and the other who gets a bit anxious when left alone, so we’ve always so appreciated having her there and knowing they’re in good hands. She’s also great at providing us updates, checking on our home, and doing any little tasks around the house that she notices, like sweeping around the litter boxes, watering plants, etc. It’s a genuine comfort knowing that both my pets and my home are safe and taken care of when we’re away. She’s very dependable, gives great updates, and is proactive about getting to know your pets and doing things that will make them feel comfortable. Even when something isn’t specifically asked of her, she goes above and beyond. We’re so thankful to have found a pet sitter who we feel is so caring, and I couldn’t recommend her more if you’re looking for someone to look after your pets!

Emily was great! She was on time and professional. She took great pictures of my dog on her visits and kept me informed on how she was doing. I was a little afraid to leave my old little dog with someone new, but it worked out very well and Emily made me feel very comfortable. Using Rover was convenient, and I loved seeing photos of my dog while I was away.

Kirby has dropped in on Maisie twice now, and we couldn’t be happier with her! ❤️ She came to our rescue when someone unexpectedly canceled while we were out of the country on vacation, and then again yesterday when soemthing came up last-minute and we needed someone to let Maisie out during the day. Both times, Kirby was incredibly kind and willing to help on short notice. Most importantly, she is so sweet with Maisie! Maisie absolutely loves her visits from Kirby, which makes me feel so much better knowing she’s in good hands while we’re away. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Kirby again whenever we need someone to drop in on our girl! 🐾
