“We had a great first time experience with Amy! She was responsive, communicative and very easy to work with. Our dog had such a great time playing with the other puppies for the weekend! We got tons of pictures from Amy every day which we loved. Will definitely book again!”
“Excellent dog sitter. We got photos everyday and our miniature schnauzer was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Cyndi. We will bring our Zoe back for another stay. Thanks SO much , Cyndi ?”
“Matt took great care of our pups, properly spoiling them for us like we would and kept us updated with great pics. We never worried and were happy the pups had as great a vacation as we did. Top notch!!”
“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”
“Michelle was AMAZING with my dog. My dog is a special needs dog. (He can't do stairs, has anxiety accidents, needs medication, etc.) I so rarely leave my dog with anyone else because of this. But Michelle didn't make any of his needs feel like a burden. Her and her family were so warm toward him and very attentive to his idiosyncrasies. He got along with the kids, who were sensitive to his need to warm up to people. He ran around the house and was so happy to be there with the family. Michelle sent updates multiple times a day with pictures/videos and a report on how he was doing: if he went to the bathroom, what he ate, and what his mood was like. I will be booking with her again and will very easily recommend!”
“Susan is a wonderful Rover! Her family is so kind as well. They take great care of our puppy and he loves going over to stay at their house! She is super communicative and flexible.”
“Panda had a great time with Jennifer and her family. We appreciated the pictures and videos she sent, which showed how well Panda was being cared for. We’re very happy with the experience and hope to have Panda stay there again!”
“Michelle always does a great job sitting my dog. I had a last minute trip planned and she was able to accommodate. I even had a delayed trip back home and she was very flexible which I appreciated.”
“Laura was wonderful. We liked her immediately and she was really good with my dog Banksy. When we walked in her home I knew we had made the right choice. Banksy got a lot of attention from Laura and had fun playing with her dog Daisy in the backyard. We really appreciated the videos and pictures she sent as well.”
“Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!”
“Ms. Laura was a dream come true! She was so caring not only to my dog but also to me. She made sure she had all his meals, snack times and all his routines correct. She sent us pictures and videos every day. If I wanted a picture she relied back to me with pictures. My dog is 4 years old and he had never been away from me. I got him as a puppy. So I was nervous about leaving him. She really made me feel comfortable leaving him with her. I can not stress. She has to be the best. Pick her you will be so happy!!!”
“Jackie had an amazing time and Nicole was so great to send videos and pics while we were away. I felt so good knowing that Jackie was being well taken care of.,”
“Chery took excellent care of our pups. The youngest had a bit of separation anxiety in the beginning and she made sure he was comfortable and relaxed. She provided photos each morning and evening which kept us from worrying about them. She will be our first option the next time we need a sitter for our boys.”
“Myrna was great with my little guy! She gave updates the whole time I was away and helped with his anxiety while I was out of town. She made sure he had everything he needed and more! Thank you Myrna!!”
“Julie does a great job taking care of Yuki! Yuki is a better dog when she comes back. Julie is first on our list if we go away. I never worry when she's with Julie, and for Yuki it's a spa weekend. Until next time!”
“Grace was so welcoming for Oliver's first stay. He enjoyed her yard and hanging with her dogs and their toy basket. Grace shared lots of updates and made sure Oliver was able to settle in quickly. I felt he was in great hands while we were out of town and I look forward to Oliver spending his next stay with Grace.”
“Peyton did an awesome job sending pictures and keeping me informed. My dog was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Will definitely use her services again!”

“Monique was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Luna and Raven, while we were away. She took the time to connect with us ahead of time to learn about their routines and personalities—and even did a quick refresher before our trip to make sure everything was just right. Luna can be a bit standoffish, but Monique handled her with great patience and care. She handled Ravens mayhem without any questions! She was kind, courteous, and kept us updated with plenty of great photos. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, house, and complete peace of mind. We highly recommend Monique and have ready re-booked with her again!”
“Cathy Jo was fantastic- the moment she walked into our door to meet us, our cat immediately greeted her at the door - which was definitely a sign that she would be perfect to care for him while away. She did a wonderful job, we will definitely call on her again. 🙂”
“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!!”
“Isabella was great with my three cats! She was prompt and communicative. She was able to give my shy kitty her medication and even some treats. They all seemed to enjoy her company! I will definitely be reaching out to Isabella for future needs.”
About: I have over 25 years cat experience and have been fostering cats for the Richmond SPCA and RACC for over 13 years. I have fostered over 100 cats and can provide letters of recommendation if needed. I have experience with cats with medical issues including diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and respiratory issues. I have no issue pilling cats or administering insulin or fluids. I also love playing with and caring for them, of course!
“Laura was wonderful! It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Laura made me feel super comfortable! She sent so many cute pictures/videos of my kitty Poe, gave me updates, and I always felt like I could reach out to her to check in. Highly recommend Laura! :)”
“Once again, Steven stepped up when the unexpected happened! I failed to provide the alarm access - and he had to deal with that ALARM sounding and the impact on the kitties. He is always calm and handles all issues with professionalism. Thanks (again!), Steven!”
“Amy is very reliable and responsive. She sends daily updates and photos which gave me so much peace in mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend her and would book her again.”
“Elijah took excellent care of our kitten while we were on vacation. He made sure our kitten had plenty of playtime and snuggles. Elijah always sent thorough updates and photos so we knew our kitten was in great hands. We’ll definitely work with Elijah again!”
“Linsey is the BEST pet sitter and all around person. Our normally shy cats warmed up to her immediately and she took excellent care of them, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We will definitely be booking with her again and cannot recommend her highly enough. 🌟”
“Alyssa was a great pet sitter! She took care of my indoor cat for two weeks. She met him beforehand and he warmed up to her quickly. She listened to and followed all instructions. Alyssa was also very easy to work with and responsive to messages. She shared great pictures of him daily, which we really appreciated. She played with him, brushed him, and feed him (and cleaned up one spit up). She clearly has a great connection to pets and I highly recommend her.”
“Harlee did a great job caring for our two cats, one of which has some health challenges. Both seemed happy and well cared for when we got home. We would definitely book her again!”
“From the initial meet and greet to caring for our cat, Gumby, Alexandra was amazing. It was clear that our timid cat absolutely adored her. The updates and photos from each visit put us completely at ease, and her communication was always clear and timely. We will definitely be rebooking her soon!”
“Sidney came to my rescue last minute when my pet sitter had a family emergency. My cats immediately took to her and she gave me much needed peace of mind a day out from my trip!”

“Susan and Josh were such great hosts for June! Lots of outdoor space, and other dogs to hang out with. I would recommend this home to any pet and will use again if we’re in the area!”
“Jasmine was a total lifesaver with her ability to take my puppy in with less than a day’s notice. She took such excellent care of Runa, keeping her actively engaged in various activities as well as keeping me posted throughout the day. Runa is home now and sleeping like a rock. Couldn’t recommend Jasmine more.”
“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”
“Katie did an amazing job with our puppy Bear! She made him feel so welcome and safe and her sweet Louie is an angel - wore bear out! Katie was so easy to work with and gets an A++ for communication! Bear will definitely go back to Katie Camp!”
“Cheryl provides a loving and perfect daycare location. Her home is setup wonderfully for the dogs to roam free and lounge happily together, getting the attention and love they need while away from home. I look forward to recurring dogsitting with her.”
“Peyton was amazing! Checked in with us regularly and ensured Jupiter had a great time. We will definitely book with Peyton again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our sweet girl!”
“My dogs really enjoyed their stay with Nadia...they came home and passed out from exhaustion so I know they had fun! Nadia has a nice fenced in yard for the dogs to play, and screens other dogs well to ensure that there is no doggy drama. I will definitely be using her as a sitter again soon!”
“Jordan took great care of Lola. She was friendly, flexible, and communicative. Lola had a wonderful day with her and Callie May. It's clear she felt very comfortable and at home.”
“Farrah (and her pup, Dallas) were awesome with Sampson! She sent updates throughout the day, which every dog mom appreciates :) I would definitely recommend her, and hopefully Sampson will be able to go stay with her again soon!”
About: Being a dog and cat owner my whole life has taught me how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, affection, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I have a flexible schedule amd am able to work from home. I genuinely enjoy making pet care part of my daily routine. As a dog and cat owner myself, I’m already used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and helping keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine and needs, and will treat them as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I always pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel safe, secure, and well cared for.
“Elizabeth was amazing with Tater. He’s a puppy and, while the goodest of boys, takes some energy and a little patience. She even exposed him to her cat and gave us a full report on how he did with Miso so we’d know for future bookings. She was super flexible with our timing heading to/from Story Land with the kiddos and kept us up to date on what our littlest dude was up to while we were crushing the Polarcoaster.”
“We are very appreciative of Amanda and her husband for taking great care of our boys! Amanda is very communicative, caring and flexible which has been critical for our dog care needs. Can’t wait for our pups’ next stay!”
“Caroline is superb! Twix is always so excited to hangout with her, he jumps out of the car when he sees her home. She takes great care, sends lovely photos of him throughout the day and is very communicate and accommodating. Thanks Caroline 😊”
“Ethel is a great sitter! She was easy and quick to communicate with. Her home is welcoming and well set up for dogs to have plenty of space to play! We look forward to having our dog stay with her again soon.”

About: Not only have I owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, I've also fostered at the Richmond SPCA, RACC, and Sanctuary Rescue for a cumulative 13+ years. I'm highly experienced in animal behavior, nutrition, and medical needs. I do know animal CPR and I have no issue administering meds. I love animals and I am extremely familiar with their behavior. Please contact me to care for your pets so you can be stress free! I work from home which allows me to make my own hours and I can drop in any time past 9am. I am also used to pets with medical issues and can come over whenever needed to issue medicine. I keep a tidy house with many rescue cats and dogs. We have numerous litter boxes that are scooped or cleaned daily. People who come to my house are always shocked that I have cats. My dogs are kept as part of the family and have a large back yard to run around in.
About: Hi everyone! My name is Allison, and I am currently a student at UMW home for summer break. I’m looking forward to spending time with pets while also enjoying a fun side hustle doing something I truly love. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have full responsibility for my dog, Cooper, a Goldendoodle. I also have three Maine Coon cats who keep life entertaining! This summer, I will continue regularly walking my neighbor’s dogs, something I’ve been doing for about two years now. Animals bring me so much joy, and I genuinely love being around and caring for pets of all kinds. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m a college student at home, working a part-time serving job. I have lots of free time to spend with y’all’s pets! I’m patient, caring, and love giving pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your furry friends feel happy and loved while you’re away. I plan to visit people’s homes to walk their dogs and stay if needed. I am extremely respectful and mindful of everyone’s property, and I will treat each home with the same care and respect as I would my own.
“Chynna took great care of my Junie while I was away. She followed all instructions, sent me lots of photos, and kept me informed on how Junie was doing on their walks. I will definitely be using Chynna again for any dog sitting needs!”
About: My first business venture, in elementary school, started with posting flyers in my neighborhood for my dog-walking business, to prove to my parents that I could take care of a family dog if we were to get one. It worked; we got our first family dog, and have been a dog family ever since! Now I have my own golden retriever named Koa who is the light of my life, loves coming with me anywhere he is allowed, and has yet to meet a stranger. I always have a surplus of love to give, especially when it comes to animals, and my post-pandemic job now provides me with plenty of flexibility. Let me love on your fur baby, too! My job is very flexible, so it’s easy for me to add things to my agenda day-of. I enjoy the spontaneity and adventure of this side-hustle. When you’re not home, your dog misses you. I’m just there to make them feel safe and connected to someone in the meantime. I take that responsibility seriously.
“I am travel nurse and it can be hard to find consistent, reliable dog walking and Kayley was exactly that. She was so available and never had any issues. She is communicative and take care of your dog like they they are her own. My dog loved her. I would absolutely recommend Kayley.”
“Rachel has been my weekly sitter for about 3 months now, my pup and I both love her!!! I’ve seen a huge change in my dogs personality of being much happier since Rachel came into our lives. She takes him on nice LONG walks, takes great pictures, and is so so sweet and understanding of schedule changes. You will not be disappointed in having her watch your fur babies!!”
“Isabella is our go to walker! She is so good with our pup and she did a great job of improvising when my husband forgot to leave the leash in plain sight and I was not able to be reached.”
About: I am a grad student with a very flexible schedule! I have owned and cared for a range of dog breeds, from cocker spaniels to German shepherds. I even had a Great Dane for several years! No mess is too big! I’ve administered medications and love getting outdoors and would love to walk or drop into your pet! I adore cats and I have an American bobtail cat called Atlas 🐈⬛ My daily routine is incredibly flexible as I am currently working on my PhD! I pick my hours and I can work around any pet sitting/walking needs! I am a gentle person who loves to give pets and go for walks and (if willing) give belly rubs! I look after a very content male cat daily (who follows me around the house).
“Alyssa was a great find on Rover. She lives within walking distance and has developed such great rapport with my pets. Please consider Alyssa for your pets needs!”
“Shelby walked my dog daily for over a week while I was unable. She was always on time, responsible, friendly to my dog, and communicative. I recommend her as a dog walker.”
About: I’ve had over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs, and I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I love giving pets and snuggles, receiving kisses, and taking them out to the park and walks. I currently work 4 days a week, so I am available to board and dog sit, do drop ins, administer meds, dog walks, etc. I am flexible with my work schedule. I have a tri level townhome with plenty of space and a very large fenced in park 10 steps in front of my home. I have two doodles (both spayed and neutered) who are friendly…but if your pet prefers to be alone, I have plenty of space to separate and I have gates as well. Your rules are my rules. If you crate, I will crate. If you dont allow your pet on furniture, same goes for me. Etc. Your baby will be safe and loved with me and my family! I have a 11 and 13 yo who will also love on and play with your dog too :)
“Alexandra is the best.My dog paced the floor excited when she knew she was on the way. Very friendly and reliable and tolerated my pulling dog. She helped me tremendously on short notice. My GSP Sadie enjoyed her walking adventures. I trust Alexandra with any pet needs and will be using her in the future!”
“She is so awesome!!! My baby loves her I didn’t know he would actually listen he usually is scared of meeting new people but he was comfortable enough to listen to her I would definitely recommend her”
About: I have 7 years of pet care experience. I have cared for countless animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rodents, and fish. I absolutely love animals and am committed to providing them with the most adequate care. I am currently working part-time as a nanny, my hours are 2-6 Monday-Friday. I am looking for gigs that can work around these hours, preferably the weekend. I have a large, fenced in yard which my two dogs love to play in. I also have a leopard gecko and parakeets (who will be in their cage whenever another animal is in the house.)
“Kudos to Keith! I highly recommend him. I have an older special needs dog who still has some pep in his step and loves going for walks. I can't always get out with my pooch, but luckily Keith has stepped in to help on a regular basis. Keith has a good understanding of my dog's needs. During walks he keeps me posted with photos or a video. Upon return, he shares helpful observations about my dog's behavior. It is a comfort to know that my dog is in such capable hands!”

She was very accommodating and was able to keep Bo the extra day. She sent multiple pictures during the week updating us. Being so far away, it made our minds relax knowing that he’s in good hands with her. I highly recommend booking with Aimee!!”

I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”
“I can’t imagine ever leaving my dog with anyone else, Sheri and her family are FANTASTIC. They took such good care of my dog, sent daily updates with photos, threw my dog a birthday party, and went above and beyond literally every single day she was in their care. I highly recommend Sheri - she was communicative, kind, and flexible and I might just plan vacations around her availability in the future.”
“Silas had an amazing stay as per usual with Sheyanna! She was so communicative, sweet and so obviously cares about our boy. She was so flexible with our schedule even with all the delays and the chaos of traveling, which I appreciated so very much. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and attentive sitter for their babies 💗”
“My dogs are family to me, so I'm always nervous leaving them somewhere new. No worries needed though, Stacey was great! We had a meet and greet to ensure our dogs got along, and I was able to meet her at her home in advance to see where my dogs would be staying. She asked thoughtful questions about my dogs' needs and made sure I had peace of mind while I was on my trip. She has a fully fenced in yard which was great for my younger, high energy dog to run laps around the house and get her energy out. My dogs have a somewhat significant age range - one is 1.5 years old and the other is 8.5, and she was able to cater to both of their activity levels to make sure they had a fulfilling experience. We will definitely work with Stacey again the next time we need dog care!”
“Le’Quitta and family took very good care of Boss. He was such a happy boy being with them. Thank you! She is our repeat sitter and always does a great job!”
“Aaren and Jordon are practically family now. This is the second time they have watched my girl and they take the BEST care of her. They love on her, make sure she is getting fresh air, and even take her on outings. I almost hesitated to write this review because I don’t want yall to know how great they are and then start taking all to spots - just kidding! I can’t be selfish! Everyone deserves to feel the peace I feel when my pup stays with them ❤️.”
