About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.

This was our dog’s second stay with Elizabeth and I knew that it was a good sign when he eagerly bounded up her stairs. We are happy to have found a responsive sitter who lets us know how things are going.Thanks, Elizabeth!

We love Damacia, and so does our Onyx. She has taken care of him since he was a young puppy and has even provided insight/suggestions in things to add into his daily routine. He has grown a lot and LOVES her so much.

We are thrilled with this experience and plan to book with them again next time we have to be out of town.

Elizabeth and Denton provided wonderful care to our two dogs while we were away! They communicated with us every day and provided updates on how the dogs were doing, and sent us tons of pictures and videos. They went the extra mile to take care of a small scratch on my dogs face he had gotten while playing with our other dog, and informed us about it immediately. The garage set up they have is wonderful and cozy, with plenty of space for the dogs to play around in. I highly recommend their services and will be booking with them again. Thank you both, again!

Amy has now watched our chocolate lab twice, this time for an entire week. She did a great job watching her and provided us with many great photos through out the week to keep us in the loop. It was obvious our dog had a great time since she's been sleeping most of the time since we picked her up two days ago!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.

About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!

Natasha and her family took care of our dogs like they were members of their family. Other places offered our dogs to " let out" every few hours from a shed. Natasha looked after our partially deff and blind senior citizen pug and our ball obsessed boarder collie in their own home. The dogs were always around someone who could play and love on them.

Ashli is a wonderful person and pet sitter! She is so good with dogs and took great care of our dog, Zoey, like she was one of her own. Ashli also sent us so many sweet pictures and videos while we were away, which were so nice to receive. She also has a sweet dog, Fozzy, that Zoey got to hang with. We felt very safe and comforted knowing that Ashli was taking care of Zoey. We will definitely call her up again!

This is the first time I used Rover and left Hercules to be taken care by someone who was not part of the family. He is a senior and very into his ways so I was apprehensive about how he would take it. From the photos Cyndi provides daily I could tell in the first day he was relaxed and really into Cyndi. She took a great care of him and it was great to have daily updates and a place where he does need to share with other dogs. I would highly recommend Cyndi and I will definitely book more stays with her.

This was Sully's third time staying with Cassie. And, it certainly won't be his last! Cassie is absolutely wonderful with Sully and all the pets in her care. When we are out of town, I don't think twice about how Sully is doing as I know he's in great hands! It is such a relief not to worry. Cassie also send lots of videos and pictures which always make me smile as I know Sully is being loved and having so much fun. If you are looking for an amazing pet sitter, look no further!

About: I've been around animals since before I could walk, and have always had a way with them. If you're looking for a caring, detail oriented, and experienced fur sitter/walker, look no further. From feathered birds no bigger than your hand, to strong horses, I've handled just about anything. While I am new to this app, I am no stranger to animals. Wether they are young babies or older seniors, I would be more than happy to care for your pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and I hope to hear from you soon.

One day I was fine, the next day I started a twelve-day stay in the Critical Care Unit of a major teaching hospital. I contacted Haley—I had never used her before, who stepped into 3-a-day visits to take care of Douglas for the duration of my hospial stay. I reeceived daily reports, but also she communicated with my friends so I could completely concentrate my efforts on healing. I feel she was part of the team that saved my life.

It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.

Ashli has been a blessing in disguise for us! We’re so glad to have found her on Rover! Our little dog Boba loooooooves playing with Ashli’s puppies Rocky and Fozzy. We had the best meet and greet experience we’ve had so far on Rover. Ashli and her puppers spent plenty of time with us and she even went to the extent of showing us her home and talked through how Boba would be situated. Ashli has been amazing at sending updates while we’re away and genuinely cares for Boba’s wellbeing. We’ve struck gold with finding friends for Boba and us and will continue to seek her help and services as long as possible! Thank you Ashli!!

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

Katharine was so responsive and kind as I navigate a last minute work trip. Her house was obviously a pups heaven and I was so grateful that my dogs, Swoosh and Frankie, were able to stay with Katharine and Louie (x2) for a few hours. If we’re ever back in Richmond, Katharine will always be our first call!

I can’t say enough great things about Nadia! She took such amazing care of my dog, Mojo, during his first stay that it completely put my mind at ease. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Mojo had such a great experience that what started as a one time stay has now turned into a regular weekly visit. He gets so excited every time we arrive he truly loves Nadia, and that says everything. It’s such a relief knowing he’s not just being watched, but is actually happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Nadia is reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!

About: I don’t have a lot of professional experience yet, but I truly love animals and take care of them with patience and responsibility. Friends and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I can take everyday if it’s at my house or it’s staying at my house over night! If I have to go somewhere or someone’s house so on the weekends Я всегда слежу за тем, чтобы питомцы чувствовали себя безопасно и комфортно — как у меня дома, так и в доме клиента. Я строго соблюдаю все инструкции по кормлению и выгулу, поддерживаю чистоту и уделяю животным постоянное внимание. Я отношусь к каждому питомцу бережно и уважительно, чтобы он чувствовал себя спокойно, счастливо и уверенно.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I am looking forward to opportunities to care for your dog(s) or cat(s) while you are away and love them like they were my own. I have a fenced in yard and live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of walking trails. I have three children, ages 10, 12, and 14 that grew up with dogs and learned how to be loving and respectful to animals. I’m a high school teacher so I’m able to be home during the summer and school holidays. My routine includes a morning, afternoon and an evening walk after dinner. The fenced backyard provides opportunities for exercise outside of walks. I follow your pets normal feeding schedule and will only provide the food and treats that you provide to avoid any allergy or food intolerance concerns. On school days, my husband is typically working from home so there is usually someone home without long periods of being left home alone. Pets are cared for as part of the family and receive lots of love and attention.

About: I’m a stay at home mom with three dog crazy kiddos! I’ve always had dogs my entire life, and spent part of my young adulthood working as a vet tech. I have experience walking dogs for my neighbors growing up and taking care of friends’ critters. I’m home most of the day so your pup will get plenty of attention and opportunity for exercise and play time. My family and I love hanging out at home in our backyard when weather is nice and spending time with our animal crew. Nowadays, I live on three acres with my family including a little schnauzer and a flock of chickens. Your pup will be able to go on long walks and adventures as our neighborhood has lots of trail options! My kids are in school most of the day, and are very responsible and good with all animals. Your pup will get lots of socialization and love with us. Your fur baby will be in good hands with us!

About: Hi I’m Corinne! I’ve loved animals since I was very young and took care of my dog since we adopted her in middle school. I began pet sitting in middle school and have taken care of a large range of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and even a duck! Whether your pet needs long walks, quiet company, or extra pets, I’m down for the job! Additionally, I have spent over 100 hours volunteering at my local animal shelter during the summer and I’m continuing my animal knowledge as a Wildlife Conservation major at Virginia Tech. I am currently a student at Virginia Tech, but have lots of flexibility with my schedule especially in the evenings and weekends for pet care! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’m reliable, communicative, and can always send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away. I am comfortable cleaning up after your pet in a capacity including accidents and litter boxes.

About: I've had various pets my entire life and been pet sitting/walking for over 25 years! I have experience with any species from hamsters, lizards, and bunnies, to cats and dogs, as well as livestock! My family raises and competes with oxen in the Northeast, and until recently moving south I cared for large animals (horses, cattle, goats, etc) as a side gig as well. There isn't an animal out there that I'm unwilling to work with! I love to care for and work with dogs. I'm happy to do regularly scheduled walks/hikes, or help out as needed. I don't have any official training certification but I do have a background in behavior analysis that has proven helpful when working with and training pets and farm animals. I'm available weekdays mostly during the day but have plenty of flexibility overall. Also available most weekends! Message me with your needs and I can check my schedule for availability. I have a German Shepherd and a Staffordshire Terrier. Although they love to play, due to their size and intensity of play, I'm not doing any care in my home at this time. If I establish a relationship with a client and know their pet well enough to know if it's a good fit, we can discuss the possibility of care in my home. I am willing to do care for small animals in cages in my home (hamster, bearded dragon, etc) In a client's home, I will follow whatever individual preferences they have!

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

About: Hi, I'm Kim! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I'm a mom of 4 fur babies of my own and have had animals all my life. I am currently transitioning from a 13 year Nanny position into my dream job of caring for animals full time. Three years ago, I started pet sitting part-time and have gotten rave reviews and I absolutely love it!! (References available on request) My schedule is very flexible for drop-ins and overnight stays on a first come, first serve basis. I will come to your pet's home where they are most comfortable. Offering pet care services in your home, I follow the typical routine you and your pets have already established. They will keep their routine and not go through any traumatic transitions. The best part? Your fur baby is there when you get home. Your home will also have that "lived in" look. Mail will be picked up, plants watered, lights will be switched on and off, trash rolled to the curb, and any house issues that arise can be addressed. Especially for overnight or vacation services, I would love the chance to meet you and your pet(s) in your home ahead of time. I always encourage new clients to schedule a (free) 30-minute meet-and-greet before the first booking (either at your home or a public location) so that I can meet your pet(s). If I am doing a sitting or drop-in, then these are perfect for showing me where the food supplies are as well as bowls, litter box(es), and anything else that may be needed for the booking I send daily updates while you are away so your vacation is worry free. I am looking to establish a regular client base and consider pets as part of the family.

I understand how intimidating it is to trust a stranger with their schedules, medications, anxieties, and even your own home while you’re away. I’m comfortable asking for clarification when needed and communicating to make sure your pets have what they need.

About: Hi! I’m Elena, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have two guinea pigs, a bunny, and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I also have extensive experience with dogs and puppies, from energetic playtime to calm companionship. I’m comfortable with all personalities, whether your pet is shy, cuddly, anxious, playful, or full of zoomies. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions so your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I treat every animal like my own and focus on making them feel loved, secure, and stress-free. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-ins, overnight care, or just extra attention, I’m happy to provide dependable, compassionate care and lots of updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I work full time, but I’m very reliable and flexible around my schedule. I’m available for drop-ins and care between 11am–1pm during my lunch break, as well as after 5:30pm on weekdays. I also have great availability on weekends and holidays for longer visits, house sitting, and extra care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and communicate clearly so we can find times that work best for everyone. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and every animal with patience, care, and attention to detail. I follow instructions closely, from feeding routines and medications to walk preferences and household rules. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings to make sure pets stay secure at all times. I also keep a calm, clean, and positive environment so your pet feels relaxed rather than overwhelmed while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages for peace of mind. My goal is for you to feel confident trusting me with both your pet and your space.

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.

Elizabeth and Denton provided wonderful care to our two dogs while we were away! They communicated with us every day and provided updates on how the dogs were doing, and sent us tons of pictures and videos. They went the extra mile to take care of a small scratch on my dogs face he had gotten while playing with our other dog, and informed us about it immediately. The garage set up they have is wonderful and cozy, with plenty of space for the dogs to play around in. I highly recommend their services and will be booking with them again. Thank you both, again!

About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!

Natasha and her family took care of our dogs like they were members of their family. Other places offered our dogs to " let out" every few hours from a shed. Natasha looked after our partially deff and blind senior citizen pug and our ball obsessed boarder collie in their own home. The dogs were always around someone who could play and love on them.

Laura was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday. Nellie had the most fun with Laura and her family. I loved how they really adopted Nellie into the family for the week!

This is the first time I used Rover and left Hercules to be taken care by someone who was not part of the family. He is a senior and very into his ways so I was apprehensive about how he would take it. From the photos Cyndi provides daily I could tell in the first day he was relaxed and really into Cyndi. She took a great care of him and it was great to have daily updates and a place where he does need to share with other dogs. I would highly recommend Cyndi and I will definitely book more stays with her.

Laura and her family were great. She sent daily updates, responded quickly, and was able to work with our schedule. Brady looked happy and well cared for. Would definitely board with her again!

This was Sully's third time staying with Cassie. And, it certainly won't be his last! Cassie is absolutely wonderful with Sully and all the pets in her care. When we are out of town, I don't think twice about how Sully is doing as I know he's in great hands! It is such a relief not to worry. Cassie also send lots of videos and pictures which always make me smile as I know Sully is being loved and having so much fun. If you are looking for an amazing pet sitter, look no further! Cassie is amazing!

About: I have two amazing dogs, Milo and Winter, that play constantly! They are best of friends and always welcome new friends. Milo is an 8 month old puppy still learning house training and making amazing progress. I found him at a rescue in Philly when I was visiting March 2026- love at first site! He clicked so well with my German Shepherd mix Winter, that I rescued in June 2025. Prior to falling in love with these two rescues, I helped foster several dogs through a local rescue- while healing from the loss of my dog of 13 years, Bella. She was a one dog household kind of girl, but Winter was just the opposite. I could tell she needed a friend, and Milo came into our lives at just the right time. I so look forward to helping care for your fur babies and will give them all the walks, plays, and cuddles they might need. I’ll ensure all your care is personalized to your dog’s specific needs. Also, would love to send you pic updates while you’re at work or adventuring! If your dog is in my care for doggy daycare, I will be home with them, unless otherwise discussed with you. If I’m hired to come walk your dog, I’ll give you a detailed update of our walk! I am home and available 7 days a week, unless I’m traveling. My dogs get lots of attention and walks. We love the James River Park system 🫶 I will ask for lots of detail about your pets specific needs so I can curate their care so they feel right at home! A home away from home.

Hilary did an exceptional job with taking care of our dog, Rio. We received photo updates multiple times a day, and she took our dog out for so many outdoor adventures everyday. I honestly think our puppy, Rio, was having such a wonderful time with Hilary that she didn’t have any reason to miss us! Will 100% recommend Hilary to all rover users, and hope to work with her again in the future!

This was our first time booking with Matt and it was a great experience. Our pup got plenty of care and fun and we could relax knowing she was safe. We received daily update with picture of our dog and her new friends. Will definitely book again.

Christina is an awesome dog sitter! Super nice and caring. She kept us in the loop with updates, pics, and videos while we were away. The backyard is a game-changer, especially for our lively Aussie and big Old English Sheepdog. Thumbs up for keeping our pups happy! And we will definitely book with her again! 🐾

Kira was an absolute dream to work with. I've been on the road with my dog for 10 months straight and have used many sitters across the country and she was by far the most reliable and communicative. My dog almost didn't want to come back home with me! But in all seriousness, Kira was professional and accommodating when I had to shift to an overnight last minute. She's just beginning her journey towards a career working with animals, so she is highly qualified to deal with all types of situations. Cannot recommend highly enough !!
