“This was our dog’s second stay with Stephen and our dog had the best time as always. Stephen made sure to keep us updated and was very attentive to all of our dog’s needs. We’re super appreciative to Stephen for making our dog feel comfortable and safe in his home.”
“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
“Petey had a wonderful time and I am happy to have Jeanette look after him whenever we travel. She provided pictures of Petey during his stay and was waiting for us on her front porch. He made new puppy friends, met a little boy who loves him and now has new friends.”
“Ellie had another awesome stay last week. I am so glad to be able to leave my little houndy girl with Katina, who treats her like part of her own family. Thanks! Highly recommended without reservations of any kind. Brian”
“Denise was the best with my dog. I definitely wouldn’t want to kennel the dog or crate the dog while I needed a day sitter for 3 weeks. I picked up my dog every morning and night and Denise was absolutely the reason why my relocation for a job. I was absolutely worried about a lot. Denise was the best option for where I was working and what I needed to accomplish. Book Denise because I would book Denise again since we had no complications and it was just an experience too good to be true.”
“Marley had a great time with Kathryn and her family! Great communication throughout our time away and the little fella got lots of love and attention. He came home happy and tired from all the great walks. Highly recommend Kathryn and we hope to book again soon! Thanks for a great experience!”
“Charissa is an amazing sitter/kennel. Very professional. There were outdoor play areas fenced and in the shade. Very well kept. She was a great communicator. Shadow will definitely be back”
“Even though my request was last minute, Sonja and Phil were kind enough to accept and take care of Leo. I could tell Leo was well cared for and in good hands while I was away. I really appreciated their flexibility and willingness to help on such short notice. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend”
“Heather was absolutely great! She would send me updates and photos of Maggie. She did a wonderful job at the meetup to confirm this would work, and while she watched Maggie I had zero concerns and knew she was being taken care of.”
“My dog had so much fun with Lorena that he slept for two days after his visit. I was very happy with the pictures and updates that Lorena sent. I would recommend Lorena for boarding.”
“I can’t recommend Kelsi enough! She took amazing care of my Great Dane puppy, Wax, over the weekend. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. My favorite part of the experience was all the pictures Kelsi sent—seeing Wax play and enjoy himself made me feel so relieved while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Kelsi truly went above and beyond, and I’ll absolutely trust her with Wax again. Five stars all the way!”
“Paula took care of Kenny for six days. She did a wonderful job! He is recovering from CCL surgery and she was very attentive to his safety and comfort. He has some separation anxiety but was very comfortable staying with her. I would definitely use Paula again.”
“They took care of them very well! We were worried because our dogs have limited human interactions, but she assured us that they were really good. We were very scared putting them in someone else's care but they did above and beyond, especially for the dogs temperaments. Thank you!”
“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”
“Thank you for taking care of our pups for a few days while we were away and for going above and beyond!! We really appreciated all the pictures, videos and updates of our pups!”
“We had our first experience with Amanda and family, and it was a long stay, over the holidays. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, loving, and kind family to take care of Rufus. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond—even the whole family came out together during the initial meet and greet to meet him, which meant so much to us, and I had no doubts our dog was going to have the best time and be in such great care. Rufus was treated like one of their own, made fast friends with Amanda’s dog (a bigger win than one might realize!) , and absolutely loved having the space to run around and play. We were so grateful for all the updates and communication throughout his stay—it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Their flexibility was also such a gift during a busy time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Amanda again and recommending them 100% to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of Rufus!”
“Rebecca was able to take our pet over Thanksgiving week as our regular sitter had an emergency. She met with Olympia and from there our we knew our pet was in good hands. Although we were away, we knew our pet had plenty of company to keep her to keep her occupied and entertained in our absence. Thank you Rebecca for opening your home for our girl and keeping her safe until our return.”

About: I have 5–6 years of hands-on experience working with animals in daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. My experience includes caring for dogs and cats, with a strong focus on providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care. I have experience with a variety of medical and specialized care needs, including administering subcutaneous (SQ) fluids and injections, providing feline inhaler treatments, caring for diabetic cats, administering eye medications, and monitoring animals requiring ongoing medical attention. I am comfortable handling animals of different species, temperaments, and medical needs and take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and supportive environment for every animal in my care. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday and typically finish work around 6:30 PM. I am off Friday through Sunday, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care, including longer visits, walks, and weekend care. I understand the importance of consistency and reliability when caring for pets, so I make sure to plan my schedule around their individual needs and routines. I am also available for evening visits after work Monday through Thursday and have greater flexibility throughout the weekend. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while keeping each pet comfortable and happy. When I am to care for your dogs in your homes, I will take them for walks and play with them as much as I can. If there is a fenced in yard we will do plenty of activities!
“Kyleigh C. Has a caring kind personality. She's was very loving and attentive to my furbaby cat. She showed up on time each day. Was ver Responsible. She played with him, she fed him, gave him treats, and she even locked up the house after her shift was done. I would recommend her and I will use her again for my furbaby sitting services.”

About: Hi! I'm Reis, a dependable and active animal lover with both professional and personal pet care experience. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility where I supervised doggie daycare, monitored group play, and helped ensure dogs stayed safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. This experience taught me how to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight house-sitting and pet-sitting services, caring for pets in their own homes and maintaining their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. As someone with an active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a weekend sitter, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently work a part-time job that allows me to have a lot of flexibility. I am able to work in all of Richmond and surrounding areas as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Through my experience working at a dog daycare facility, overnight house-sitting, and caring for both a senior dog and a young dog of my own, I've learned that every pet has different needs and energy levels. Whether your pet prefers a relaxed walk and extra patience or lots of activity and play, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: As an animal care professional, I have not only worked with many different house cats but I also work with many big cats as well! I pride myself in reading feline behavior and am more than willing to accommodate to your cat or cats!
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and I adore them. I have two dogs of my own, a 12 year old Border Collie mix and a two year old Australian Shepherd, and I volunteer down at the Richmond Animal Shelter every week so I'm used to handling a variety of dogs! I have a very flexible schedule and I would love to work with dogs of any activity level, age, or size! I definitely understand the importance of frequent potty breaks, consistent meal times, and lots of love and playtime! Also, punctuality is something that I take very seriously so you won't have to worry about me being late! But most importantly, I know how special your dog is to you and I will look after him or her as if he or she were my own! I look forward to getting to know both you and your sweet pup! :)
“This was our first time using Rover. Riley was helpful in explaining how it worked. She watched our cat for several visits for two days. For each visit she sent information on how the visit went. Unfortunately our kitty would run and hide after greeting her so she couldn’t get many pictures. She even went and found him and sat trying to convince him to come out! He ate well during her visits and she was kind to clean up the dirty cat bowls each time! It’s also very comforting knowing Riley has experience working in a vet clinic.”
“This is the second time Victoria watched our kitty & we had just as wonderful of an experience. She sends lots of pictures, leaves our place picked up & is super responsive. It’s so nice to be able to travel & not worry. Grateful for her!”
“Rochelle absolutely exceeded all my expectations. I received so many lovely updates while I was away, and she communicated with me about everything. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit uncertain, but it was such a wonderful experience. We will most definitely be working with Rochelle again, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Cats have always been part of my life — I've had as many as five at once! I understand that cats are independent but still need real attention, enrichment and love while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with shy cats, social cats, multiple cat households, and administering medications if needed. Your cat will get genuine care and plenty of photos so you never have to worry.

“Thanks to Charissa and Alex for taking excellent care of Bluto while we enjoyed some of the local sites. He really enjoyed his time running around in their yard. He was tired and ready for a rest when we returned home.”
“Denise was absolutely awesome. One of the best Rover day cares we have experienced. Would definitely recommend her and if in the area would ask her to stay with our dogs again.”
“Natasha and her family were great! She sent numerous photos throughout the day and my dog looked so happy playing with her kids and the other dogs at her house. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”

“Jeanette was awesome with Milo ! I needed a last minute sitter for him as I’m visiting from out of town and wanted to take my kids out for a bit, Jeanette replied back quicker than I had expected! She kept me updated with photos of my little guy. Whenever I’m back in town and need a sitter I’ll definitely be contacting her again :)”
About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.

About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds—from cats and dogs to birds, bunnies, and even livestock. I grew up working alongside an equine veterinarian and have spent years collaborating closely with small animal vets, giving me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether your pet needs meds, special care, or just a little extra love, I specialize in supporting animals with medical needs and take pride in being calm, compassionate, and highly attentive. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a lifelong animal caregiver who treats every pet like family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it's midday walks, medication schedules, or just extra snuggles, I’m consistently present and available to keep your pets happy and stress-free. My routine is built around their needs—because their comfort and well-being come first. 🐾 In my home, pets enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of supervised playtime. My own friendly dogs are always happy to welcome new furry friends, but if your pet prefers one-on-one attention, I can provide a quiet, relaxed space just for them. I tailor the experience to match each pet’s personality and comfort level—whether they love to socialize or just want a calm companion.
About: I have always been around all kinds of animals, and I worked with Bully Paws Pit Bull Rescue for many years. At one point I had 5 Pit Bulls, and they were my daughter’s best friends. Now that I am dog free, I miss having a furry friend around. Currently, I have two cats. I work from home day except Wednesday. Due to my flexible schedule, I am able to cater to your pets needs to make sure they are getting the love they need. I have a fenced back yard and a great neighborhood to walk in. I work from home, so I am always at your pet's beck and call. At your home, I can work as needed and spend time with your pet in the comfort of their own home.
About: Your dog will be treated like part of the family while you're away. I intentionally keep my numbers low so every guest receives plenty of individualized attention and supervision. I'm a homeschool mom, homemaker, and lifelong dog lover. My husband, two daughters, and three dogs make our home a fun, safe, and loving environment where someone is home most of the day. 🐾 Meet & Greets Required I require a free meet-and-greet before accepting new clients to ensure we're a great fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! As a homemaker, I'm present for the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout your dog's stay. Every dog adjusts differently, and I have the ability to tailor my routine accordingly. Your dog's comfort and safety are central to how I care for every guest. I closely supervise interactions between guest and resident dogs, and I take time to understand each dog's temperament and needs before allowing unsupervised play. Meals are served separately to maintain a calm environment and avoid food-related tension. I'm happy to follow your dog's established feeding schedule, medication routine, or any additional care instructions you provide. At bedtime, I do my best to replicate your dog's normal setup, whether that's a crate, a dog bed, or another familiar arrangement, so they feel settled and secure throughout their stay.
About: I bring not only years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, but also a genuine passion for making each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily schedule. I plan my days around walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with mornings and afternoons, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily walks or just drop-ins, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for as if they were my own. I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I keep everything consistent—meals, walks, playtime, and bedtime—so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. No matter the service, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and care. 🐶🐱💛

About: I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. Caring for my four legged friends (sometimes 3) has always been my specialty!

“This was our dog’s second stay with Stephen and our dog had the best time as always. Stephen made sure to keep us updated and was very attentive to all of our dog’s needs. We’re super appreciative to Stephen for making our dog feel comfortable and safe in his home.”
“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
“Petey had a wonderful time and I am happy to have Jeanette look after him whenever we travel. She provided pictures of Petey during his stay and was waiting for us on her front porch. He made new puppy friends, met a little boy who loves him and now has new friends.”
“Denise was the best with my dog. I definitely wouldn’t want to kennel the dog or crate the dog while I needed a day sitter for 3 weeks. I picked up my dog every morning and night and Denise was absolutely the reason why my relocation for a job. I was absolutely worried about a lot. Denise was the best option for where I was working and what I needed to accomplish. Book Denise because I would book Denise again since we had no complications and it was just an experience too good to be true.”
“Charissa is an amazing sitter/kennel. Very professional. There were outdoor play areas fenced and in the shade. Very well kept. She was a great communicator. Shadow will definitely be back”
“Even though my request was last minute, Sonja and Phil were kind enough to accept and take care of Leo. I could tell Leo was well cared for and in good hands while I was away. I really appreciated their flexibility and willingness to help on such short notice. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend”
“Heather was absolutely great! She would send me updates and photos of Maggie. She did a wonderful job at the meetup to confirm this would work, and while she watched Maggie I had zero concerns and knew she was being taken care of.”
“My dog had so much fun with Lorena that he slept for two days after his visit. I was very happy with the pictures and updates that Lorena sent. I would recommend Lorena for boarding.”
“I can’t recommend Kelsi enough! She took amazing care of my Great Dane puppy, Wax, over the weekend. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. My favorite part of the experience was all the pictures Kelsi sent—seeing Wax play and enjoy himself made me feel so relieved while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Kelsi truly went above and beyond, and I’ll absolutely trust her with Wax again. Five stars all the way!”
“They took care of them very well! We were worried because our dogs have limited human interactions, but she assured us that they were really good. We were very scared putting them in someone else's care but they did above and beyond, especially for the dogs temperaments. Thank you!”
“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”
“We had our first experience with Amanda and family, and it was a long stay, over the holidays. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, loving, and kind family to take care of Rufus. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond—even the whole family came out together during the initial meet and greet to meet him, which meant so much to us, and I had no doubts our dog was going to have the best time and be in such great care. Rufus was treated like one of their own, made fast friends with Amanda’s dog (a bigger win than one might realize!) , and absolutely loved having the space to run around and play. We were so grateful for all the updates and communication throughout his stay—it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Their flexibility was also such a gift during a busy time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Amanda again and recommending them 100% to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of Rufus!”
“Rebecca was able to take our pet over Thanksgiving week as our regular sitter had an emergency. She met with Olympia and from there our we knew our pet was in good hands. Although we were away, we knew our pet had plenty of company to keep her to keep her occupied and entertained in our absence. Thank you Rebecca for opening your home for our girl and keeping her safe until our return.”
“Thank you! This was our first time using Rover and we left out 7 year old with them. They were very accommodating for drop off and pick up, had a lovely, well kept home and made us feel very assured they'd take care of our Penny. They provided pictures and updates during the stay and made sure to keep her on any routine or diet that she was on. Would definitely recommend to others and use again. Thank you again!”
“I am thrilled to give Sheri a 5-star review for taking care of my pet, Happy, during boarding! Sheri went above and beyond to ensure Happy's comfort and happiness. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates she sent, complete with photos, to keep me informed and at ease. Her dedication, attention to detail, and love for animals truly shine through. I am so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Sheri, for taking such wonderful care of Happy! I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch pet care.”
