I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.

Our older standard poodle, Zoey, has a crate phobia. Matt‘s property is the perfect place for her to hang out, where she can roam and socialize at will, or retreat to observe from the couch. He takes excellent care of her and sends twice daily photos and updates about how she’s doing. Zoey is always glad to see Matt, and we will continue to use his services in the future.

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!

Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

About: I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace.

I just recently graduated from university, so my weekdays and weekends are mostly free! I am available to take care of your pets from Monday-Saturday. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed! Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for a few hours, I stick to your dog’s routine, keep their space clean and secure, and make sure they get plenty of attention and supervision. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and always focused on creating a calm, safe environment for your pet.

It'll be a pleasure for us both since there's extra pets and extra play time. ❤️ I allow all pets to sleep on the bed, get on the couch, enjoy play time and they get walked. I'm old school so I don't really let the pets roam around the back yard and it's a great source of exercise.

About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay. My dog has a strict routine as I believe taking care of pers works better with a specific schedule. He wakes up, gets fed, gets taken out, is given treats, among everything else at the same time. Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.

About: Your dog becomes part of the family the moment they arrive 🐾💛 I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog is cared for like my own. With over 4 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, you can feel confident your dog is in capable and knowledgeable hands. As a certified dog trainer, I go beyond basic boarding by providing structure, guidance, and consistency throughout their stay. Whether it’s reinforcing commands, practicing leash manners, or simply maintaining a calm routine, your dog is always learning and thriving ✨🐶 I also have three personal dogs of my own ranging from 1 to 8 years old, so I truly understand the different needs, energy levels, and personalities that come with every stage of life 🐕🐕‍🦺🐾 My goal is to give your dog a comfortable, enriching, and stress free stay while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’m a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dog trainer who works out of my own home. I’m already home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and consistent care without long periods alone. My training background also means I understand dog behavior, routines, and safety, so your pet gets both loving care and structured supervision in a calm, home-based environment. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine and are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and time to relax. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule and any special instructions closely, including medications if needed. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give them lots of attention, affection, and structure, while using my dog training experience to reinforce good behavior and keep interactions positive and safe.

Amy and Kris couldn't have been nicer people. I used their services to watch my beagle for the day while I visited Richmond. Their home was easy on and off the highway making this place ideal for visits. Bitsy spent the day with a few other nice dogs, received some delicious homemade doggy treats and got lots of love and snuggles. Thanks, we will be back again. :)

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!!

Excellent situation. Lesley was awesome! Kind and loving to our dog. I felt very safe and comfortable leaving him there. Her property and space was as described. She was extremely helpful in setting up the sitting. Communication was fast and reliable. I am so very thrilled to have found Lesley for the few days we required Copper to stay with someone.i would definitely recommend her to someone else and use her again. I cannot sing enough praise. Highly satisfied with the experience.

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.

About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay. My dog has a strict routine as I believe taking care of pers works better with a specific schedule. He wakes up, gets fed, gets taken out, is given treats, among everything else at the same time. Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—seriously, rabbits to goats, and everything in between. Right now I care for dogs, chickens, rabbits, and a cat, and I also have experience pet sitting for families from when I was in high school. In my 20s, I’m excited to help other animal owners get to enjoy a vacation or even a little break like a date night, without having to worry. My love for animals really shows, and I’m totally comfortable with both big dogs and smaller ones—I’m happy to care for every breed. I’m willing to have animals stay at my home, but they absolutely need to be comfortable around other animals. I can also drive to your place and stay at your home if that’s what you prefer. I work from home, so I’m available as often as you need me, and if you need me to stay overnight to watch your furry friend, I can definitely arrange that. With all that said, I’m excited to help in any way I can—because I genuinely love what I do! I’m currently working from home as a Sales Executive at a HR company. I take my pups out every 2 hours for potty breaks and to throw the ball for my very active GSD dog. I get off around 5:30PM M-F. So if you need me to stay at your home to watch your pets while I work throughout the day- that’s no problem! Or I can most definitely take breaks throughout the day to come take your animal out and/or just give some snuggles! I am free on the weekends and can make really anything work. Just give me a time and place and I’ll be there! I have a huge back yard and plenty of space for your dog to run around! It is not fenced, so must have good recall or I can just walk them on a leash. If your dog is coming over to my house they must be good with other animals. I have a male Belgian tervuren (fixed) who’s pretty shy at first, but warms up quickly and would love a play buddy! And then I have a male Dachshund (fixed) who sleeps all day. I do crate my dogs while I’m away, and they can be crated just to give your pet some space to decompress. My cat is in a separate room so she will be away as well.

About: Your dog becomes part of the family the moment they arrive 🐾💛 I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog is cared for like my own. With over 4 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, you can feel confident your dog is in capable and knowledgeable hands. As a certified dog trainer, I go beyond basic boarding by providing structure, guidance, and consistency throughout their stay. Whether it’s reinforcing commands, practicing leash manners, or simply maintaining a calm routine, your dog is always learning and thriving ✨🐶 I also have three personal dogs of my own ranging from 1 to 8 years old, so I truly understand the different needs, energy levels, and personalities that come with every stage of life 🐕🐕‍🦺🐾 My goal is to give your dog a comfortable, enriching, and stress free stay while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’m a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dog trainer who works out of my own home. I’m already home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and consistent care without long periods alone. My training background also means I understand dog behavior, routines, and safety, so your pet gets both loving care and structured supervision in a calm, home-based environment. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine and are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and time to relax. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule and any special instructions closely, including medications if needed. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give them lots of attention, affection, and structure, while using my dog training experience to reinforce good behavior and keep interactions positive and safe.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight years old. Including puppies and rescuing senior dogs. Some of the senior dogs were at the end of their life so I understand the need for compassion and care.

I’ve been dog sitting for at least ten years. Including extended stays at my residence. I’m currently a part time worker, looking for something to fill my extra time. So I have a very flexible schedule and I’m always ready for some extra dog time. My goal is to always put your pets need first. Including any care they need. Including cleaning up after them and any extra medications they may need. Also adding comfort and safety in stressful situations.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

About: I have had many pets in my life ranging from dogs and cats, to turtles and parakeets. With this, I can promise I am used to all the different personalities pets can offer. Whether they are energetic or apathetic I can promise you your pet is in safe hands. I am currently on break from college and am doing this as a way to make some extra money. I also play semi-professional soccer in Richmond, Va so I schedule any dog care activities around any practices or games. As a pet owner myself, I can follow any special instructions that are required for your pet. Whether its giving medication, feeding instructions, walking habits, etc. I promise to prioritize your pets needs as if they were my own.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them has been like second nature to me. I hold a degree in Animal Science and currently work with a veterinary practice which has given me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether is playtime, walks, cuddles, or administering meds, I’m confident in providing the same level of love and attention that I give my own pets. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part time from Monday-Wednesday 8am-5pm. I’m available after work on those days and then anytime Thursday-Sunday. I’m pretty flexible and can help with whatever is needed. Just let me know! In your home, I care for your pets by keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort and I always make sure water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that they get plenty of love and exercise. I also treat your home with respect, leaving things neat and tidy so you can return worry free. I take pride in making everything go smoothly and stress free.

I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.

Our older standard poodle, Zoey, has a crate phobia. Matt‘s property is the perfect place for her to hang out, where she can roam and socialize at will, or retreat to observe from the couch. He takes excellent care of her and sends twice daily photos and updates about how she’s doing. Zoey is always glad to see Matt, and we will continue to use his services in the future.

Le’Quitta was absolutely wonderful with Honey! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful and communicative. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she even brought one of her dogs to make sure Honey would be comfortable since she can be a little reactive around other dogs. Just before our trip, Honey unexpectedly needed stitches and had to wear a cone while taking medication every 12 hours. Le’Quitta didn’t hesitate—she happily took on the extra care, administered Honey’s medications, and gave us complete peace of mind so we could still enjoy our weekend away. Throughout Honey’s stay, Le’Quitta sent frequent updates and photos, and it was obvious Honey was having the best time playing with the other dogs. She even had her first positive introduction to a cat! Every picture showed a happy, smiling dog who was clearly loved and well cared for. I’m so grateful for Le’Quitta flexibility, communication, and genuine care for Honey. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.
