“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”

“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. 😊”

“From start to finish, Michaela did a wonderful job watching our little dog Coco! She always responded in a timely manner and kept in touch with us, sending pictures and updates daily. We’re so grateful that Coco was loved and taken well care during our trip abroad. We would highly recommend Michaela if you should need a loving and caring pet sitter!!🥰🐾”

“Myrna is a lifesaver. My sitter canceled on me last minute and Myrna was available within the hour. Ellie usually is pretty shy in new places but she warmed up to Myrna quickly and had a great time.”


“Cyndi was very considerate. I loved the way she treated my little guy. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She sent me updates frequently and I had a peace of mind while my fur baby with her. Thank you Cyndi. I appreciate your love and care for Oreo.”

“Nicole is absolutely amazing at handling my dogs even when they’re nervous about being in a new environment and being around other dogs. She always takes great care of them and sends update pictures and videos on her own initiative! She’s my go-to and I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”

“My pom pom loves it there,loves the attention and playtime. I literally had to drag her away and pick my pom up. I choose to just use her,if she’s available.”

“Raye is amazing! I left my two dogs in her care while I was on vacation for an entire week. This was my first time having her as a dog sitter and my first time having the dogs in somebody else’s home while I was away for a while. She provided them with such great care while I was gone and they were so comfortable, which says a lot since one of my dogs is more anxious and timid. But she took great care of them and made them feel right at home: she took them on lots of walks, they got to enjoy her yard, and they got to spend so much quality time with her and her dog Ollie. She had great communication - she sent me lots of updates and pictures daily, so I knew the dogs were doing well while I was gone. It’s never easy leaving my dogs for a long period of time, but she made the experience so much better. I will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to anybody else.”
“I am so happy that I booked with Peyton! I was thankful that she was able to accommodate my last minute booking. She is very kind and she kept me informed by sending me pictures and updates, which I appreciated. My dogs were very happy and had a good time playing!”

“Thank you so much to Le’Quitta and her family for taking such great care of Boss ☺️ She kept me updated with pictures and communicated well. Will definitely be rebooking! We knew he had a good time when he slept the majority of the day when we got him home❤️ Thanks again!!!”

“Julie and Eric were fantastic! They were so understanding, kind, and gentle with my relatively new rescue dog. They provided a very safe, calm, and loving environment. I most highly recommend them for great trusted care, and would certainly use them again.”

“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!”

“Alice came home from a long stay happy, relaxed, and waggy. Grateful to Ross and Ava for their thoughtful care, communication, flexibility, and laid back orientation. We (and by we, I do mean Alice…) will be back!”

“We could not be happier with Amy and her family for the care they gave Daisy while we were on vacation. I could tell how happy Daisy was too. I would highly recommend Amy.”

“I feel so confident taking my older dogs to Emily. I know she'll give them lots of love and make sure they're comfortable and content. So happy to have found her!”

“Laura is great with my dog Banksy. He arrives and leaves with a smile. I always know he is safe with her and he enjoys the freedom to play in her backyard and pal around with her dog. She is always very affectionate towards him. We love Laura!”

“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!!”

“Elijah is the absolute best! He is one of the few people my really shy cat is warmed up too and always does an incredible job of communicating and sending cute pictures!”

“Kirby was great! I could tell she really cared about my cats and she sent me awesome updates everyday. We will most likely be returning customers and would highly recommend Kirby to anyone needing care for their pets.”

“Rachel was great, would definitely recommend her to anyone. She was kind to bring in some pretty heavy packages while I was away. She also picked up an accident that one of my kitties made. She is a gem!”


“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!”

“So impressed with Jonathan. He really went above and beyond when it came to taking care of my kitty babies. He’s very kind and helps out as much as he can, sometimes on very short notice. So glad I found him :)”

“Linsey is very professional. She is very much an animal lover, and our cat was very comfortable with her. Great communication and wonderful daily updates with photos!!! We will be requesting Linsey’s services again in the future. A+ 10/10”


“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.”

“best catsitter so far! she was so kind & reassuring of everything, sent a tour & let me know how the catsitting process would go. i got photo & video updates & felt very comfortable with kenny being in her care!”

“Holland was great! My cat seemed happy us usual when I got back from my trip, and Holland was great about sending me pictures and videos. She came when she said she would and she sent me videos of how she played with him to assure he was getting his energy out! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will definitely look to use her again!”


“Exceptional Cat Care: Haven looked after my cat while I was away for the weekend & did a fantastic job. Thorough, attentive—my feline friend couldn't have been in better hands!”

“Couldn't have asked for a better sitter, thank you so much!! I could tell you made Klaus feel very at ease, and that's saying something since he's a skittish boy haha”

“Nick was great with our little June! We had a lovely meet & greet ahead of time before our trip. He was always responsive and asked good questions before hand and throughout. We’re super appreciative of his flexibility over a holiday too! Thanks for everything Nick :)”

“Emili took great care of my two kitties- And when she noticed a potential problem one of them might have, she notified me right away - and all turned out just fine.”


“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”


“Erin is the best by far! My boys LOVED her and I always got the best pictures and updates. Especially with my one boy who takes daily medicine, thank you again and again!!!”


“Absolutely FABULOUS! I definitely do not regret my decision in picking Lyndsay as a sitter for my cat. She’s so qualified, and the fact that she is PA made my decision really easy as I knew she’d be comfortable giving my cat injections. She is so easy to talk to and above all you can tell she really cares about your pet. She is very good at communicating, and sending updates of how your pet is doing. When I picked up Bindi, she was happy to see me but I could definitely tell she’d been in a good place where she was being loved and taken care of. Will be booking with Lyndsay from now on! Could not be happier with my decision! Thanks so much Lyndsay! Will be in touch soon, Kathy McKean”

“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.”

“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful, and I really appreciated her quick communication, attention to detail, and compassion! She was able to respond to my last minute booking request and meet with me the same day. My dog had SO much fun with Jasmine’s dogs and the rest of her little crew. She really trusts Jasmine and actively looks forward to going to daycare camp. My dog is stubborn and will definitely let me know if she doesn’t like someone, so it was a relief to know she was spending her day having a good time. I got photos and updates throughout the day, and Jasmine responded quickly whenever I messaged her. I appreciated the flexibility with coordinating drop off/pick up times. Didn’t use her home pick up services, but it’s a nice option to consider. My dog had an awesome experience, and it was wayyyy better for her to be making friends and having fun than staying at home and waiting for me to come back. Highly recommend!!”

“Matt is fantastic. My dog Ru loves going to his house so much that she sprints to his front door and will not look back for me at all. She has a great time with him and when I pick her up she is happy and tired in the best way. He clearly has a great understanding of dogs and is very professional and communicative. I feel completely confident leaving my girl there and I know she has the absolute best care.”

“We’ve had Peyton care for our horses, cats and dogs for years, long before she joined River. Never had a problem and she’s always provided a secure, loving caring and healthy environment for our pets and animals. She adores animals, and is very knowledgeable in their care and training.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Myrna was fantastic. She has a pool for all the doggies. She sent photos and communited throughout Starbuck's stay. Starbuck had such a great time that when we picked her up she didn't want to leave. We will definitely be using Myrna again!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Jackson was awesome! He accepted a short notice request and took excellent care of my puppy. He was great with communication and thoughtfully arranged a meet and greet to make sure our pups all got along. I highly recommend him.”

About: With 20 years hands-on experience caring for animals, I am your go-to pet sitter and walker that resides in the charming downtown Richmond neighborhood of Church Hill. My passion for animals shines through in every interaction, whether is a playful game of catch or a relaxing cuddle session. Living in Church Hill, I’m intimately familiar with all the local parks, trails and pet-friendly spots in Richmond and the surrounding areas. I’m available to come to you or can host your furry friend. My top-notch’ care includes regular updates including pictures to give you peace of mind and ensuring that your beloved family members are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. When I’m not busy caring for your pets, you can find me playing a game of keep away or snuggled up with my own Cocker Spaniel named Hagrid. We like to explore and travel when we aren’t hosting new friends. Mostly recently, we enjoyed visiting our furry friend Ajax with his family of cats and humans in Vermont. If you’re looking a reliable, compassionate and experienced sitter/walker, please reach out! I’m a business consultant who works from home. I make my own schedule and have flexible hours throughout the week/weekends that makes hosting/sitting or walking easy. I have a fenced in backyard and one friendly cocker spaniel who can keep your baby busy. I can easily crate if that is what you desire, but they can play together through out the day and have multiple outside breaks/walks
“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!”

“Michelle took good care of my pup. Her dog Milo is a sweetie. She has a nice yard for them to play in and my dog also enjoyed relaxing by her side on the couch.”

“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.”

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”

“Rachel was fantastic in taking care of my fur baby Nappa. He can be overly excited and pull when he walks but Rachel loved him like her own. Thank you so much for loving my boy and keeping my mind at ease while my family and I were away.”

“Kayley is wonderful! I am so happy to have her walk my dog Bilbo during the day, especially during the winter months. He liked her instantly and was very happy to walk with her. I highly recommend her!”

“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!”

“I have an anxious rescue (Sir Kitt) and Kirby has been absolutely wonderful with her! When we started, Kitt had to be coaxed to walk. She was so scared of everyone. Recently, Kitt has come out of her chill spot when she hears Kirby come in! Kirby is wonderful with her and we will be booking again.”

“Deiandre was great. He was very communicative and gave detailed reports after every walk. It was such a relief knowing my sweet girl was in good hands while I was on a work trip.”


About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!
“Kacey was great! Professional, responsible, and highly communicative. Most importantly, the dogs immediately loved her! Would definitely hire again.”

“Conrad stepped in at our late notice and took fantastic care of our two dogs! They were staying with a sitter who could not walk them, and Conrad came to the rescue with walking them for a full hour every day, reliably and on-time! He communicates really well, is really responsible, and clearly has experience with dogs. One of my dogs is also dog-reactive, and Conrad knew just how to manage any reactive signs on walks and keeps distance from other animals. He listens well to instructions and is just a great dude. I’m happily looking to making him our regular go-to pet sitter and walker whenever we need support!”
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.
About: I am your pets’ biggest fan! I have owned and sat for both dogs and cats, and I’m familiar with most breeds of both. I am comfortable with med administration, meal times, and multi-pet homes. I would love to hang out with your fur babies and give you peace of mind! I work from home and have flexibility to fit your pets’ schedule needs. I have one dog and two cats at home that I care for along with my husband. My schedule is flexible and open for your fur babies! I am comfortable coming to your home, walking your pets outside of the home, and hanging around outside! I’m skilled in managing multi-pet interactions and making the pets feel safe and comfortable while hanging out with me. I’m totally fine with cleaning up any pet accidents and making sure things are in tip top shape when you arrive home.
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).
“Mel was awesome! We were in a scheduling pinch and needed someone to come walk our dog while we were gone. Everything went great! Would definitely book again!”

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.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and had to take care of them a lot as well as having experience as a kennel tech over some summers! I’m currently off over the summer while school is out so my availability is very open. I can take care of your pets when ever you need me. I have an apartment that I am more than happy having pets stay in however there is no yard. I am happy to stay with them and house sit.

Their communication was top-tier—they kept me updated consistently with messages and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of that, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Arya truly found her second home with them, and there’s no doubt they are now her permanent sitters. I appreciate them more than words can express and can’t thank them enough for the love and care they showed my big girl. 💕🐾”
