“Jay did a phenomenal job taking care of our Onyx while we went out of town. She sent us lots of pictures updating us on what he was up to while we were gone. She was also reinforced what we were doing at home, and then some. I can tell she is very knowledgeable and cares about all the doggies she cares for. Will definitely be booking her again when we need boarding for Onyx!”
“Matt is always our go-to sitter to watch our dog, Marlowe. He is reliable, communicates quickly and we know our dog is in fantastic hands. It our dogs home away from home.”
“Frank had such a great time with Amanda! She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being able to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. Frank clearly loved his time with her and, honestly, didn’t want to leave when it was time to come home! Amanda took great care of him, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. We will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”
“Jonathan has been an incredible sitter for Kota twice now. Incredibly talented pick at responding and sends lots of pictures and videos that put you at ease. I had a last minute emergency that I needed to find a sitter for and I was able to drop off with him less than an hour later. So grateful for his kindness and love that he gives to my sweet girl Kota!!!”
“According to my dog, Raye is top tier when it comes to hospitality. He's already asked to return to her home that's full of love and tasty treats. Thanks again for taking care of Rocco.”
“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.”
“What a wonderful family!!! They were so welcoming of our big Akita and took care of him just like he was their own. And their dog was also great with mine. They were so accommodating and happy to have Rocko. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will be using them again. Thank you again Zach and Kelsey!”
“They took great care of our large dog and followed extra care precautions he needed. We were never worried as we got a picture daily with an update. Thanks again and we will use you again soon!!”
“Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“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 ❤️.”
“Nicole was great! She communicated very well and had a very fast response time. She allowed me to book my pup super last minute and was very sweet and understanding. She sent photos of bear while I was away as well. She was very sweet over all, and I would definitely book her again.”
“My pooch was very well cared for with Susan! She has a sweet dog herself that was great play companion. Appreciated daily pics to keep me updated of how she was doing!”
“Susan took great care of our fur baby while we were of town! She gave updates with photos and videos. I appreciate that she suggested a meet and greet first to make sure both she and I along with my dog felt that she’d be a good fit. Overall I’m satisfied with the service I received and plan to board my dog, Simba with her again whenever we’re going out of town! Thank you so much Susan!”
“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”
“I think Susie had a good time with Pamela and Paul. We went out of town a couple of days and they took care of her. Susie is 14, moving a little slowly and hard of hearing. They had to carry her up and down steps to the backyard since Susie hurt her back a few years ago. We will use them again. We felt good about Susie staying with Pamela and Paul.”
“This was the first time I have been able to go on vacation since I got my now 1 year old Frenchie named Scrappy. I was going on a week vacation to the beaches of FL. I searched for hours on Rover when I came across Cindy’s profile. The overall profile, ratings, feedback, and returning customers helped me make my decision. Every day that I was away, I received pictures and updates on how Scrappy was doing. He was having the time of his life! I could tell by the pictures alone he was getting so much love and attention. That is huge when you are away and your fur baby is not with you. The peace of mind was invaluable! When I picked Scrappy up she had even given him a fresh bath!! I can’t recommend Cindy enough if you are looking for someone to LOVE and CARE for your baby while you are gone. To now have someone that I trust 100% so that I am able to go on trips is a wonderful feeling. I will absolutely be using Cindy, and only Cindy, in the future!! ❤️ 🐶 🏡”

“The phrase “above and beyond” doesn’t begin to describe Jeff’s care for our senior cat. It’s hard for us to travel because we worry about leaving her and her necessary care, but we finally got to relax on our trip knowing she was in great hands. Jeff’s kindness and love for animals is exemplary and our cat Biscuit is his new biggest fan. We are so very grateful and highly recommend him!”
About: I have always had a love for animals since a small child. My exposure to neighborhood animals and pets brought on opportunities for pet sitting cats in my community growing up. This love grew into a passion/career as I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for 10 years and received my bachelors in Agriculture at Virginia State University in 2020.
“Tanti gave my kitties all the love and attention they deserve while we went out of town. She did a fabulous job! Highly recommend Tanti and will certainly have her watch our kitties again the future”
“Danielle is a wonderful pet sitter. She really loves and cares about your animals like they are your own. She's punctual and follows directions to a tee. Danielle also goes the extra mile to care for your pets and you're home.”
“Lauren was really great, especially given our cat is very skiddish/scared and runs under the sofa at the slightest noise. Thank you for being caring and compassionate. When we go out of town again, Lauren will definitely be our selection. We highly recommend her.”
“Sierra was very communicative and great with our cats! She was even able to get our older cat to take his medications. She left our house in great condition- definitely recommend”
“Nick is a kind guy with a gentle demeanor. My anxious dog Leroy was very comfortable with him and I came home to a happy pup. I will definitely be calling upon him more this summer!”
About: I've raised two cats from kitten-hood and would have more feline roommates if space wasn't an issue. I understand that cats have varied personalities, and I'm happy to adapt to their needs. My own cats, Lily (skittish) and Aloy (outgoing), are stark opposites. Does you cat like to be chased around the house? Do they require butt pats? Maybe they just like staring at from a safe distance while I refill their food bowl. I can adjust to all of these personalities, no request is too strange for me!
About: I've cared for my two cats since they were just two months old, so I understand how important it is to keep cats comfortable and maintain their daily routines. I'm experienced with feeding, refreshing water, scooping and cleaning litter boxes, interactive play, and giving cats the patience and space they need to warm up to new people. I know every cat has a unique personality—some love attention, while others prefer a quiet companion. I take the time to learn each cat's routine and preferences so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy and in good hands.
“Did an amazing job with our two trouble makers. They definitely loved Farrah so much. Felt so comfortable with how happy they were. Definitely going to be my sitter from now on.”
About: I’ve had cats on and off my entire life. I currently have a cat at home, Sunny, who has the best personality! I have experience with male and female cats. A few of my male cats have experienced urinary issues, so I am comfortable with keeping an eye out for that. Can give meds as well!
About: I’ve been a cat mama since our family cat chose me as his favorite nap spot the day I came home from the hospital! I raised my next bestie from the day she was born until she crossed the rainbow bridge, and I’ve loved my Fiona for nearly 14 years. I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication, accommodating quirky needs, and navigating sassy attitudes! I also grew up with a family dog and helped care for him while living at home and during college breaks. That included feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I bring patience and attention to each pet’s personality and routine, and I’m happy to learn all the little details that help yours feel comfortable and loved.
“Molly is LOVELY! She completely understood all of my babies’ little quirks and loved on them so easily! Not only is she a trusted person to care for my pets, but she is also a dope and very kind human as well! 100% would recommend her for anyone looking for a pet lover :)”

“I am so thankful to have found Allison. Not only did Allison take great care of our girl while we were away, she was flexible, and quick to communicate to our inquiries. We will definitely use her again in the future and refer her to all of our friends!”
“Miguel was so friendly and thorough! Sent pictures and videos even during Ralphie’s short stay and was very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Will absolutely be using him again!”
“Ayme was a very patient and loving Mom for nervous furry family member. She sent happy pictures, reassured Naomi and gave her love. I feel I can leave her in this positive environment.”
“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”
“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!”
“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 !”
About: Animals of all shapes and sizes have always loved me, and I love them too! I grew up with small and medium dogs in my home and have taken care of cats my entire adult life as both a parent and sitter. As a child, I had fish, lizards, and hamsters. If you've got a critter you need taken care of, I'm your guy! Pet care is woven into the rhythm of my day. Since I work from home, I’m lucky to be present for all the little moments—morning walks, midday play breaks, and evening wind-down cuddles. I start my day with a walk or some outdoor time, which helps both me and my pets get energized. Throughout the day, I schedule short breaks to check in on them, refresh water bowls, offer treats, or just share a few minutes of affection. Safety is my top priority. I want you to feel safe putting your pet(s) in my hands and I take this responsibility very seriously; I will treat your pet as if it were my own and pledge to keep in close contact with you throughout my service.
“Emily was a great sitter for our puppy. You could tell he enjoyed his experience of undivided attention. She took the best pictures so it felt like we were there with him. We were so thankful to go out knowing he was good. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: I am a dedicated pet sitter with extensive experience caring for all types of pets, including puppies and senior animals. I am skilled in administering medications and training basics to puppies. I offer dog walking and customized care with compassionate attention to each pet’s unique needs. I communicate clearly and provide regular updates with photos to give owners peace of mind. My priority is safety, reliability, and positive reinforcement to ensure a happy and healthy experience for your pet. I am a morning person and can tend to your fur babies while working and accommodating to your schedule. I am available Monday - Friday morning. I am not able to take home large pets, however we can definitely speak about housing options for the smaller pets! Mi casa es su casa ( in dog ).
“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!”
About: Hi, I'm Emily! I've been drawn to animals of all kinds since I was a kid! I grew up taking care of both cats and dogs, and have had a dog of my own since 2021. I'm well-versed in animal care; in addition to the basics (walks, feeding, play), I'm familiar with many common needs, like medication administration, training/behavioral reinforcement, and gland expression. I have a flexible schedule and typically respond to requests within a few hours. I'm able to spend a lot of my time at home; usually when I'm out of the apartment, it's for no more than about four hours or so at a time. My standard schedule is to provide three walks a day (morning, midday, evening) plus a quick potty break before bedtime, but I can adjust that up or down depending on your dog's needs. Dogs staying with me can expect lots of pets, cuddles, and playtime. I do allow pets on my furniture and bed, but if that's a behavior you're trying to limit, I can take that into account while your pet is staying here. At all times, and especially when outside, the safety of your pet is paramount to me. During walks, I actively monitor for dangerous situations/behaviors, like encounters with unfamiliar dogs or trying to eat things they shouldn't. Please feel free to share anything about your pet that I should take into account while they're in my care.
About: Hello! I am looking to assist with care of your furry friends!! -Combined pet experience of 30+ years, all ages particularly seniors as well! I worked for veterinary services specializing in boarding care for 8 years through out schooling -Will ensure your home is left in the condition received with minimal housekeeping (will take trash out and clean up any pet accidents they may have due to medical conditions. Additional requests can be discussed with or without additional pricing) -Our commitment is to ensure your pets safety, emotionally and physically as if they are our own -Regular updates will be provided streamlining communication -I choose Rover over other traditional “2nd jobs”, because I want to enjoy the work we do! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I have a full-time job, however, remotely!! This allows one person at all times to care for your pets, during most hours! My personal break(s) will be scheduled based on both client and provider agreed upon schedules. For example: after evening pet care, there will be a 2-4 hour provider break for dinner and family time before returning for overnight care. Home has pvc wood vinyl for easy mess clean up. The yard is flat and fully fenced in. Warmer weather will have plastic kiddo pools for dogs to cool off. If your dog weighs more than 85 pounds, I require dogs to be leashed trained and/or with a “no pull” dog harness for the safety of your pet and care taker. Meaning, dogs that continually pull excessively while on leash, will either receive short potty breaks, or only “fenced-in” activities. This will be agreed upon at initial encounter. We understand the need to burn off energy! We want to keep everyone safe while we strive to keep the routine as close to yours as much as possible.
“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.”
About: Does your dog spend the day waiting for you to come home from work? Dogs need more than just a quick potty break — they need companionship, playtime, and a chance to feel included. I provide a fun, safe, and loving environment where your pup can enjoy the day instead of feeling bored or lonely while you’re at work. Your dog deserves more than simply being cared for while you’re away — they deserve a day filled with companionship, comfort, enrichment, & love. I provide a personalized, home-style experience where your pup can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. While you’re focused on your workday, I make sure your dog’s day is filled with attention, engagement, and the little moments that keep them happy and fulfilled. My home is a place where dogs can enjoy gentle companionship, playtime with my friendly dog, walks, cuddles, and plenty of positive interaction. I treat every dog as an individual, taking the time to understand their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Think of it as a private day retreat for your best friend — a place where they can enjoy their day just as much as you enjoy yours, knowing they are in loving & capable hands. I’m a former veterinary technician with lifelong animal care & experience. Whether your baby needs medication, extra patience, or just lots of belly rubs, I’m here to provide. I’m confident with senior dogs, special needs pets, and all kinds of temperaments. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing that your fur child is in experienced, caring hands. I also do brushing, massages, baths & nail trims (upon request).

My dog-child makes the perfect play-buddy because he is a very silly, interactive & playful pup.

“Can’t recommend Ariel enough! I was in Richmond from out of town for a graduation ceremony and my dog Cricket needed care for the afternoon and evening. Ariel was very communicative and flexible with both pick up and drop off times, and sent me so many cute photos throughout the day. I felt perfectly safe leaving Cricket in her care.”

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and family and friends dogs for the past several years. I understand how important it is to ensure that the pet feels safe and secure while their favorite humans are out of town, along with keeping their schedule on track. I am currently available most afternoons and weekends. My current schedule is very flexible and can work around most needs and days of the week. I will care for your pets as you would like them to be cared for, whether that is crating at night or making sure they are walked both in the morning and the afternoon.
“Divine takes such good care of our Winnie! She’s the first dog walker we’ve hired and she has been flexible with our schedule changes week to week, sends the sweetest pictures, and is always on time.”
About: I’ve been around lots of cats and dogs of all ages and a variety of breeds and personalities. I have experience working at a 4.9 stars dog daycare where I was responsible for an average of 20-30 dogs at a time. I’m happy to accommodate whatever your baby needs while you’re away. I have experience administering oral medications as well as ear and eye drops. My schedule is currently open and I drive. I am happy to work something out with you whether your needs are for weekdays, weekends, or both. I’m big on giving updates and sending pictures. I’ll leave your home exactly as I found out and with your furry friend(s) cared for and happy. Communicate as much about your friend(s) and their needs as you wish and I’ll be happy to help.
About: I am the owner of a small dog training business. I specialize in training pet, service, and working dogs. Also, I breed, raise, and train protection dogs! I live, work, and train on a six acre property. I‘m also available 24/7 for our clients and take care of your dog as mine!

About: Aloha! I’m Will 👋. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking on and off for the past 5 years, caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Animals are truly my passion, and my main goal is to make sure your paw prince or princess is safe, pampered, and fully cared for whenever you have to step away. Because I focus entirely on on-foot neighborhood walks, personalized house sitting, and drop-in visits, your pet gets 100% of my dedicated time and attention right in the comfort of their own familiar environment. I love keeping pups active with engaging outdoor strolls, and I am equally happy giving plenty of belly rubs and playtime to more relaxed seniors or playful kittens. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I always prioritize open communication. You can expect regular photo and text updates from me during every single visit if that’s what you prefer, so you never have to guess how they are doing. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I am currently pet sitting full-time. My other part-time job is relatively flexible and is only Sunday-Thursday, from 3:30-8:00pm. Otherwise, I have complete control over my calendar. I explicitly designed this schedule to not be away from your fur baby for too long. Whether your pup needs a mid-day energy-busting walk, a morning drop-in, or dedicated overnight company, my schedule is mostly open to fit seamlessly into whatever routine your pet needs to stay happy and comfortable. In My Home & Around the Yard: Since I have a moderately sized, fenced-in yard and my own Bernese Mountain Dog, safety at home is mostly about supervising the fun. I never just let the dogs out back and walk away; I’m always out there watching them play to make sure everyone is sharing toys and getting along safely. Before a new pup ever visits, we’ll do a casual Meet & Greet to make sure our dogs vibe well together. Indoors, I keep my home calm and secure, making sure doors are always locked and any human food or hazards are kept way out of reach. In Your Home & On Walks: If I’m coming to your place, I treat it exactly like I’d want someone to treat mine. I stick strictly to the routine you give me for feeding and care. When we head out for neighborhood walks, I always double-check harnesses and collars before opening the front door to make sure nothing can slip loose. I keep a short, secure grip on the leash and stay entirely focused on the dog—keeping an eye out for hot pavement, heavy traffic, or stray dogs so our walks stay completely stress-free.
About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 14 for cats, dogs and reptiles. I've also owned dogs, cats and birds so I'm well aware of how to take care of a multitude of animals. I'm open to watch all types of animals. I'm able to do house visits which would include checking up on your pets, making sure they're fed, spending time with them, and provide enrichment and fun play time. I do live in an apartment so the walks would be done either at nearby parks or walking throughout the neighborhood. If a backyard is available, I will make sure to have play time involving fetch, tug of war, tag, etc. I’m available full time for your pet care needs and I look forward to making friends with your furry ones! I offer dog walking, and in-house sitting/check ups. Pets will be taken cared of based on the owners and pets needs. I wouldn’t want to disrupt their schedule so I will follow their current schedule to make sure they’re comfortable and not cause any confusion.
About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs. Once the school year starts I will still be available! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.
About: Hi! My name is Sophia and I love to walk around and explore this city with my dog! We go on long walks and admire all of the beautiful neighborhoods and districts around us. My favorite part of the day is when I come home to my pup! And whenever I meet or get to hang out with other dogs my day is made. I just love to be around animals and learning how to communicate and connect with each unique personality! I was the neighborhood dog sitter growing up and my favorite time of year was when my neighbors would go out of town and I could watch their pups! I learned how to care for and handle all different kinds of dogs and I was always so happy to be around them. The best day of my life (so far) was the day I got a pup of my own! I believe that dogs can change people’s lives and bring so much happiness into the world. I am fully available to care for animals with my current schedule. I work from home but my job is winding down and will be doing pet care until my next full time opportunity. I have so much love for animals and their safety and health is my priority. I have two dogs that are my world and I always make sure they have everything they need. I will put the same care and effort into caring for other people's animals and will always treat them as my own. I make sure to spend as much time as possible with my pups and keep them as healthy and happy as I can.

I think animals really make a difference in a person's life, and I definitely understand the stress that comes with finding someone to take care of your own animal! I hope that I can be a trustworthy solution to any help you may need. I love to play and walk with all kinds of dogs, and I hope I can take care of yours soon! I work remotely, so I have plenty of time to devote to your animals! In fact, I’m looking for a furry friend to get me out of the house and encourage exercise and fun! I like to work with each owner to identify the best course of action for caretaking of each animal. Needs vary so I want to make sure I am able to treat your animal as you would! I have experience with crates, electric fences, physical fences, and more.

“Ciara took great care of our Newfie for 16 days. She was always so positive about how Angel was doing and continued to let us know. Angel had a great time playing with her dog, Jinji, and others she was watching. Ciara stayed in communication with us. We feel very lucky to have found her!”
“Miguel took the time to listen about Hudson’s needs during his day. They took pictures every day and sent me videos. They were great. He was in a good environment and his home is definitely dog friendly. I would recommend them anytime. I’ll be using them again in the near future.”
“Jonathan has been an incredible sitter for Kota twice now. Incredibly talented pick at responding and sends lots of pictures and videos that put you at ease. I had a last minute emergency that I needed to find a sitter for and I was able to drop off with him less than an hour later. So grateful for his kindness and love that he gives to my sweet girl Kota!!!”
“Our Finn was really happy when we picked him up, always a good sign. Jennifer B. seemed to be very caring and on top of taking care of the couple of dogs she was boarding at the time. We will be back !”
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“They took great care of our large dog and followed extra care precautions he needed. We were never worried as we got a picture daily with an update. Thanks again and we will use you again soon!!”
“Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“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 ❤️.”
“My pooch was very well cared for with Susan! She has a sweet dog herself that was great play companion. Appreciated daily pics to keep me updated of how she was doing!”
About: I frequently dogsit for friends and family, and I've had my soul-dog for 5 years! She's a rescue shepherd-husky mix and has taught me SO much about training and caring for a smart, high-energy dog! She's entering her senior years and has slowed down a lot, which means I have more time in my day to care for other pups, whether it's a check-in, walk, or boarding in my home. I have a fenced front and back yard, and with my location in Church Hill, there are countless places to walk and explore. I currently work from home 95% of the time! The other 5% is a mix of working at coffee shops and going in to my work's coworking space, but I'm never away from home for more than 8 hours a day. My days are very flexible and I'm happy to work around you and your pup's schedule! I have a fenced front yard that is grassy and a shady, fenced back patio/yard that pups can run around in. I only take 1 boarding or day-care client at a time, so your dog gets my full attention (alongside my pup!). Your dog must be friendly around other dogs for boarding or day care.
“Laura and DJ took such great care of our dogs, Benny and Kiwi, while we were away for our wedding weekend!! They sent regular picture and video updates of the pups playing, getting love, and having fun. I can’t thank them enough! Definitely 10/10 recommend booking with them!”
“Nathaniel was a phenomenal caregiver for my big boy, Brock! 🐾❤️ I had to book care for Brock very last minute, and Nathaniel was incredibly compassionate and accommodating to both Brock’s and my needs with such little notice. Brock had a wonderful time and was so graciously cared for. Nathaniel went above and beyond by sending me pictures and videos throughout Brock’s stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my boy was doing great. I’d also like to highlight Nathaniel’s flexibility and his personal schedule, which worked out perfectly for caring for Brock. 10 out of 10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much, Nathaniel, for taking such great care of my boy! 🐶❤️”
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m your dog’s new favorite human! I’m a reliable, attentive, and animal-loving sitter who treats every pup like my own. Whether your dog is full of energy and loves long walks, or prefers cozy naps and gentle company, I tailor my care to fit their personality and routine. I hold a Master’s degree in Animal Science with a focus on canine and feline care, and I have hands-on experience in dog shows and dog sports. This means I’m comfortable working with everything from high-energy, well-trained performance dogs to everyday companions who just want love and consistency. I also have experience with both basic pet grooming and show dog grooming, so I pay close attention to coat care, cleanliness, and overall presentation. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable administering basic medications, sticking to feeding schedules, and maintaining routines. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Safety, trust, and lots of tail wags are my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶💛 Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize the needs of the pets in my care, including regular walks, feeding times, play, and enrichment. Because of my background in animal science and experience with dog sports and shows, I’m very used to maintaining structured routines and adapting to each dog’s individual needs—whether that’s high-energy exercise, training reinforcement, or a calm, predictable environment. I’m flexible throughout the week and make sure I have the availability to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any household preferences—while keeping the environment clean, secure, and respectful. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards to ensure pets stay safe at all times. In my home, I provide a structured, low-stress environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and rest. Dogs are never left unattended in unsafe situations, and I carefully manage introductions and interactions if other dogs are present. Cleanliness, secure spaces, and routine are always maintained. With my background in animal science, dog sports, and grooming, I’m very attentive to behavior, body language, and overall wellbeing, allowing me to respond quickly to each pet’s needs and keep them comfortable, safe, and happy.
“Christine and Nick are amazing! We are repeat customers and never worry about our pup when she is in their care. To say she gets spoiled is an understatement. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby.”
“Joy and her family took great care of Dash!! This was my first time boarding my dog in 12 years of having her. She felt comfortable right away, as did I, and got along very well with Yuki, their friendly fur baby. I received some pictures and text updates daily. I would definitely book with Joy again. Delightful family who truly cares about providing the perfect experience for dog owners and our fur babies.”
“Beverley is amazing with our fur baby Ember! She gives updates to keep us at ease. Our puppy is comfortable there and warms right up as soon as she arrives. We’re so glad we found a trusted sitter through Rover and couldn’t be more pleased with her services. We will always rebook with her!”
