“I am so grateful we found Beth through a friend's suggestion. We planned a family trip to Europe and needed a sitter for our Labrador for two weeks. Beth and her family took Luna into their home and treated her like family. Beth sent us pictures of Luna enjoying life and how she was interacting w their dog and children. After our trip, Beth even brought Luna back to the house for us. I could tell Luna loved Beth and was happy! I highly recommend Beth to take great care of you beloved furry family members!”
“We left our puppy for several days with Taylor. She sent us daily updates and pictures. We loved hearing about his time with his friends with her loving care. We highly recommend Taylor!”
“Ellen was wonderful with my two Shi Tsus. I have one older dog who needs a little TLC and she took such good care of him. She did a great job communicating and kept the dogs happy. I highly recommend.”
“Barry and Cheryl were absolutely wonderful pet sitters for our French bulldog, Blu! They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly cared for our dog like he was their own. They kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and well loved. They spoiled him with treats, walks, cuddles, and so much attention — he was truly living his best life! It’s obvious they genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Barry and Cheryl to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters.”
“I was very impressed with Jaime and Mike and will definitely be calling them again! My golden retriever was 'Living her best Life" there! She enjoys being around people at all times and was welcomed in the home as one of their own! I love to find other people that love dogs and takes care of them as if they are one of the famiiy! Loved seeing pictures of her fitting right in with her daughter who obviously loves dogs as well! Thank you so much!!”
“James and Iryna were great! Mighty the greyhound could not have been happier or had a more enjoyable stay. Thank you for the photos and videos. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend.”
“💕 Warm & Heartfelt Tara took such wonderful care of Peanut while I was away. I could tell right away that she treated her with so much love and attention. She and her family cared for my dog with so much love, as if Peanut were her own. Her kids were also so sweet and played so nicely with Peanut — it really made her stay extra special. She even surprised us with an adorable elephant toy and cookies for Peanut to take home, which was incredibly thoughtful. Peanut came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I feel so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust, and I would definitely recommend Tara to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter”
“Darnell and his family were fantastic with taking care of our dog again. He's very responsive to message and we loved the picture updates we received. We would definitely use him as a dogsitter again and highly recommend him.”
“Tamara was great! Our dog had a lot of fun. Pick up and drop off was wonderful. Our house is on the market so it's been a stressful few weeks for all of us, including our Shih Tzu. It was so great to see photos of him smiling and playing with her dogs. We will definitely use Tamara from now on!”
“Stacie is so great. This was the third time our pup has stayed with her and every time he comes back happy. Stacie sends great photos and keeps us updated. Wish we could tip more!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Our two Goldens are very big babies so of course we were nervous to leave them. We did a meet & greet with Dana a few months before our stay and felt very confident that they would be okay staying with her. They did have a great weekend with Dana! She sent us lots of videos and pictures during their stay and they received first class treatment from her. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing she was treating them like they were her own. They arrived to stay with a stranger but definitely left with a new best friend!”
“Rachel was a great sitter for my dog Maggie. This was the first time I left my dog to a sitter, and I chose Rachel because of her positive ratings and many returned customers. I was very satisfied with Maggie's stay. Rachel texted me about drop-off/pick-up times, sent me daily updates, and I believed my dog was taken good care of. I will surely consider Rachel again when I need to board my dog.”
“Caroline was very responsive throughout the process, from the time of booking to during the stay. We are repeat customers because she takes wonderful care of our dog!”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Cody while I was away. We are lucky to have such a wonderful sitter, and I’m so grateful for your help. Thanks again for everything!”
“Walter was great! Easy to meet up with to introduce the dogs, has a good routine, and provides plenty of updates and notes the behaviors, pottying, etc… will have him watch Jax again!”

“Kelly is THE best. Extra plus that she has vet tech experience and administering meds to them is no problem. The kitties love her too. So reliable and she is great with her photo and visit updates. We have piece of mind knowing our babies are in good hands when away from home. We will continue to use her!”
“Working with Danielle was fantastic! We are so grateful that she accepted our request to care for our young kitty while we were out of town. Regarding pet care, Danielle is certainly the perfect blend of experience and kindness, giving us confidence that she knows well both how to care for our pet and how to make his visit terrific. Danielle certainly exceeded our expectations on both fronts, and for that we are appreciative. We look forward to working with her again!”
“Sughra was wonderful with our two cats. One cat requires medication and is a little shy, but he warmed up to her right away. Sughra spent time playing with them, and she took really great care of them. I would highly recommend Sughra as a Petsitter!”
“We hired Alexandra for drop-ins for our cat and she was great! At our first meeting she immediately was sitting on the floor giving our cat the affection he was requesting, and he was so happy. While we were gone she gave him all the cuddles he needed (we could tell by his behavior when we returned) and she followed the instructions we left. She always responded to messages quickly and communicated clearly. Definitely recommend.”
“Christi was absolutely amazing taking care of our little Minji! This was our first time using a pet sitter and we were hesitant but Christi dissolved any of our worries. Not only was she super attentive and sweet to our little kitty, she also sent us detailed updates each day with some of the cutest pictures we have ever had of Minji. Christi will forever be our go-to and she should be yours too!”
“Caitlin was the best! Our little Hobbes became fast friends with Caitlin in one day. By day three she got a present from him ? ? Daily pics with a fantastic and funny write up of her visit was the chefs kiss!! Bravo! We will be using Caitlin again!”
“Stephanie did an excellent job sitting my cat. She was very communicative and sent me regular updates and photos on how my cat was doing. She was also very flexible with pickup and dropoff. I would use her again and would also recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Zachary checked in our two kitties while we were away for a week. He was super responsive and sent some great pictures of both - one of which is almost always hiding! He confidently was able to administer anxiety meds and was even able to go over for an emergency visit to check on one of the automatic feeders when it went offline. I felt SO good leaving them in the care of Zachary and will definitely be using him in the future!”
“Argelia, dropped in with my kitty Shimi for 6 days. It was my first time leaving him for that long but she did a great job taking care of him and keeping him company. She played with him, let him out on the closed in patio, took many photos, cleaned his litterbox everyday, etc. and then some. I came home to a happy cat! She’ll be my go-to for any future trips!”
“Nouf was fantastic! She took great care of my cat and was flexible throughout my time away. Her communication was clear and I always knew my cat was doing well. She made sure my cat had her dinner with medication, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing before leaving. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Caroline took amazing care of my girl, Stella. She was attentive to Stella’s needs and gave her the cuddles she requested each drop in visit. We will definitely have her back!”

“Taylor was wonderful with our puppy! This was his very first time with a sitter, and she made the experience so easy and reassuring. She was patient, kind, and helped him warm up to her dogs quickly. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We feel confident about leaving him for boarding thanks to how well the day care went. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle was great with Chloe. She took her on 3 walks and she enjoyed playing with Danielle's daughter. She sent me several pictures to let me know she was happy and comfortable since this was her first visit with Danielle. I will definitely call on Danielle the next time I need a sitter! Thanks Danielle!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals starting from my first day as an infant. I grew up with multiple cats in the home with learned, gentle-respect and patience that cats require. I also grew up with a shetland sheepdog, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. As an adult I have significant experience with caring for dogs and cats alike both in my home and in other homes. My own animals, two dogs, a cat, and a 70 gallon fish tank, remind me daily of the joys and importance of animals. I have an anxious 74 pound hound and a nervous 30 pound beagle of my own, so I understand the needs of special breeds and animals coming from previously difficult situations. I have the patience needed to address nervous dogs and have experience with clicker training and am educated in techniques for dog training. I do not breed discriminate. I have fostered kittens and adult cats and have experience with syringe feeding and medicine administration. I also have my own rascally kitten, Hazel, who keeps me entertained. In my experience with fish and aquariums I can clean, feed, and help with tank design or water cycling conditions. Note: I am selective about in home care due to a cat being in the home - this is for the safety of my own animals. Thanks. Your pets will be the utmost priority and I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs. I can assure timely feedings, walks, and potty breaks so your pet is comfortable and you are assured! I will treat them as my own. Our daily routine is FULL of pet fun and enjoyment. First thing in the morning is a walk and potty breaks, followed by feeding, the rest of the day would follow similarly with 4/5 mini walks and dinner at ideal time. Potty before bed time and no pet will be left alone for more than 3 hours and if preferred never at all.

For Weekends we will have plan accordingly.Feel free to contact me with questions. I have a pretty sizable deck and fenced yard.

About: We are a mother daughter duo that will ensure your pet is always taken care of. We have been taking care of dogs all our lives and have had dogs of all kinds that were loved and cared for like our own children. We have tended to puppies up to senior dogs that require medication and special care. Rover is our full time job, with both of us able to help in a pinch the flexibility we can provide weekly or daily is something we are proud to provide. I have a fenced in yard, space to crate a dog and also can put gates if needed to keep dog in certain areas. I am also able to administer any medication if needed.
“Carolina was so sweet and accommodating!! She had to be ready to receive my pups at 6 am, which is so early and had them for a very long day! I felt relieved knowing that my pups were in good hands. Suki is quite hyper when she first arrives to a new place and Carolina was so patient with her, a true dog lover!!”
“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”
“Thank you, Ellen! Our pup Cici had and awesome time. She usually doesn't eat when she is at a sitter for the first time. So, we knew she felt safe and at home when she ate while she was there. We loved all the photos, and we could tell she had fun because she slept like a puppy when she came home. We will definitely see you again!”
“Iryana was amazing, she sent updates with photos and videos throughout the day. I can confidently say my dogs were well taken care off. Our dogs will definitely be rovered with her again.”
“Jane was amazing. She did more than expected and beyond. I got daily photos and updates. Her daycare space is so beautiful. My dog Maxx had such a great time there. She took extra care of him. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”
“This was the first time in 12 years I have used a dog sitter, and it will not be the last time because of Rebeca and Roman. They were very responsive from the beginning of the Rover process, and they continued throughout the four days I used their services. Rebeca greeted us every morning and afternoon with a smile. After the first day, Maple could not wait to get to Rebeca, literally jumping from my arms to her arms when we arrived at Rebeca/Roman’s home. I received a daily picture and even a video of Maple during the day. I had no concerns during the four days of daycare because of the pleasant attitude, daily photos, and Maple’s behavior before and after her time with Rebeca and Roman. Overall, a great experience. I will 100% use Rebeca and Roman again!!!”

Alexandra was timely in her visits, provided full details on her visit including photos. We would recommend Alexandra to others and will use Alexandra in the future. Thanks Alexandra.”
About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals since I was a kid including dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, peacocks, etc. I am comfortable working with most animals and will treat your furry friend as if they were my own. I currently have my own 7yo Boston Terrier/ French Bulldog named Milo! I recently started my doctorate in Clinical Psychology and am looking for ways to make some money in my free time. I am currently free Tuesday afternoons after 2pm and have full time availability on Thursdays and Fridays. I am also open to weekends on a case by case basis. I formerly worked as a probation officer so I am extremely trustworthy, hardworking, and dependable! I am comfortable and respectful working in others’ homes, and will follow all care instructions to meet a pet’s specific needs. Additionally, I am comfortable feeding or administering medications if needed. I will always prioritize your pet’s health and safety, and will likely avoid interactions with other pets unless an owner indicates that their dog is friendly with other animals.
About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a sitter—I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with genuine love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to give them the same care and comfort they’d get at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for early morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening snuggles. I also offer overnight care for those who need a loving presence while they’re away. My routine can easily be tailored around your pet’s feeding, walking, and potty schedule. Pet care is a huge part of my life — it’s not something I fit in, it’s something I prioritize. From daily walks with my own dogs to checking in on client pups, I dedicate specific time each day to ensure every dog gets quality care, play, and attention. I always plan my day around their needs, not the other way around. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, structured environment and supervise interactions closely. I keep a close eye during walks, use secure leashes, and never leave pets unattended. In your home, I respect your space and routines, following any special instructions you leave. I also send plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you always feel connected and reassured.
“Argelia is amazing! She takes good care of my dog, provides great exercise and updates every bit of the way. She’s flexible, communicative and professional. Grateful to have her as a walker and know that my dog is safe/in good hands with her at all times.”
“Kimberly was so wonderful with our puppy Zion! She has been so responsive, sent so many sweet photos of him and gave us such peace of mind being new puppy owners. We look forward to continue to work with her!!”
“Melianna was a great help & went out of her way to celebrate Rosie’s birthday. She was very attentive to our dogs and we would hire her when needed in the future. Pat & Art Chase”
About: I love making connections with new paw-bearing friends! My family and I have been raising cats and dogs my whole life, so I've spent years nurturing my family dogs and cats. I'm happy to follow preset instructions or work with you to make a new plan for whatever your fur-babies need. Allow me to make your daily routine, or special occasion, a little simpler by ensuring your pet gets the care they need. Hmu! Most of my time during the week is for pet care, however I do work a part time job at Crumbl. With a little planning/preparation, it won't be a burden, pinky promise! Prioritizing any kind of instruction, keeping space between your pet and others, allowing them plenty of time to explore on walks and giving your pet plenty of lovins', are the most important to me to upkeep safety during any job.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, puppies and seniors, including my family’s over the years. I love being around pets and have been around them my whole life and care for them deeply. I’ve trained my dogs and am able to crate and walk larger dogs! I currently have my own two dogs, one yellow lab and one chocolate lab, and volunteer at the Richmond Animal Care and Control shelter in Richmond,VA. They are a no-kill shelter and really enjoy spending time there walking and playing with the shelter dogs and cats! I have lots of availability throughout the week! I currently am a student and have most mornings and midday/afternoons available for drop-ins, walks, playtime, etc. I have most weekends fully available for the same activities! I like to create an stress-free environment for your pets. I provide updates after each care visit. I know how to harness and I’m able to crate dogs if the client requests! My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved!
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since 2021. I worked at a couple of doggy daycare facilities, and I worked at a vet clinic as a kennel assistant for a year. I am currently home over the summer from school. My schedule is available every day to help take care of your animals. I am willing to come in to check up on your animals 2 to 3 times a visit and I can give them enough time to socialize. Anytime I will enter the clients home. I will make sure the door is locked. I will make sure to leave your house clean and spotless.
About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in. We also have a beautiful nature trail right behind our neighborhood. I love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting/loving on your dog. I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.
