“This was our first time using Rover and we are so grateful to have found Cyndi! She eased our minds right away by letting us visit for a meet and greet. She has a lovely home with an amazing backyard for our pup to explore. She is quick to respond to messages and gives thorough feedback with lots of photos each day. We could tell our pup was at ease during his stay and have already made another reservation with her. She is a calm presence that will love your pup and make the stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Cyndi!!”
“We (and our pup, Fig) could not have been happier with Amy!! She kept us updated throughout each day with messages, photos, and videos. It was obvious how much fun Fig had with them in the fenced in yard, playing with new friends, and cozying up on the couch. She will absolutely be back. :)”
“Susan was so welcoming and I felt very comfortable leaving my Goldendoodle son with her! She has a wonderful, large back yard that my dog enjoyed! She sent me photos everyday and let me know how he was doing. I am 100% booking Susan for my dog the next time I am out of town!”
“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. 😊”
“Kristen and Chris took such great care of our Luna, sent us updates and photos while we were away, and were flexible when we were delayed with picking up.”
“Amy has taken excellent care of my babies on multiple occasions. She takes them on walks, keeps them happy and safe. They always come home tired and happy. I know that when she takes care of my fur babies they get plenty of love, play and attention. We also adopted a cat, which made traveling a little more complicated, and she made visits to our home to make sure he was ok. We trust her fully with our babies. Thanks Amy!”
“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!”
“Matt was absolutely amazing and so easy to work with. This was our first time spending a weekend away from Kappy, and Matt really put us at ease with constant updates and photos.”
“Pamela, Paul, and Marlowe took excellent care of our dog while we took a 10-day trip, and she is now best friends with Marlowe! Will hope to bring her back to them for ever!”
“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! 🐶❤️”
“I am very pleased with how Terry cared for my dog while I was out if town. She is not only responsible, she is a very loving dog owner. I highly recommend Terry’s services. Good experience. I knew he was in good hands!”
“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!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing. She sent me a lot of pictures of Shaggy and kept me up-to-date of his progress. She let me know what he ate and how he did throughout the day super communicative. Best experience I’ve had with Rover.”
“My dog had a really lovely stay with Alexandra, she was very attentive and sent many updates! She was able to take my dog after another sitter cancelled, and I greatly appreciate that”
“Grace was so welcoming for Oliver's first stay. He enjoyed her yard and hanging with her dogs and their toy basket. Grace shared lots of updates and made sure Oliver was able to settle in quickly. I felt he was in great hands while we were out of town and I look forward to Oliver spending his next stay with Grace.”
“Anne was awesome with caring for our Teagan. She loved her like she was her own little puppy! I know Teagan felt loved and well cared for. She doesn't snuggle with just anybody! :)”
“Im so glad my little guy got to stay with Emily and her daughter! He came home happy and healthy, and Emily sent some photos and updates while we were away. Great and quick to communicate! Highly recommend.”

“Cathy Jo did a wonderful job with my 4 cats!! Didn't matter what I asked her to do she was more than willing and totally unphased by my special request for a couple of my special needs cats. And she was very good about keeping me posted each day on how the kitties were doing. I highly recommend Cathy Jo!!!”
“Alexandra watched my kitten, Louis at her home for a couple of nights and was absolutely wonderful! Her dog was also super sweet and got along wonderfully with Louis. Alexandra was very communicative and sent tons of updates and pictures of Louis. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her hands and I would 100% have him stay with Alexandra and her dog again! 😊”
“Leaving my cat, Lola, is never easy. She’s a high-anxiety girl who doesn’t like being alone, so finding someone I could truly trust was incredibly important. Lee was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. He put my mind completely at ease, which allowed me to actually relax and enjoy my trip knowing she was being well cared for. He was incredibly trustworthy, respectful, and communicated consistently throughout our time away with updates that meant so much to us. It’s clear that Lee genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I can’t recommend him highly enough, and we’ll absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Helen was absolutely incredible with our two cats! They are seniors with special needs and very human-oriented, and Helen put our minds at complete ease when she house sat for a night and two days while we were out of state. She provided updates, photos, and kept in touch with us throughout the whole time we were away. She even very kindly brought our mail and hellofresh inside, and made up the bed so we could just drop our bags and settle in at home when we returned. Definitely rebooking anytime we need her services in the future!”
“John was very responsive and did everything I asked of him. Nemo had a great time, and was well cared for while I was away. He always sent pictures and details of his visit. I would definitely use him again!”
“We had an excellent experience with Sydney! care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of our cats while we were on vacation. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our cats were well cared for and comfortable. We highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Amy was excellent when watching our cat Sybil. We looked forward to her pictures and updates each day while we were gone. She also cleaned the litter boxes and brought in our mail each day which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Amy and we would use her services again.”
“Always can count on Steven! My cats have been sick and he is compassionate and patient. So grateful to have his understanding and to know they were well cared for during our trip.”
“Shelby was fantastic! Very communicative and sent me great pics of my kitty cat! My cat is very low maintenance besides him pooping outside of the litter box and Shelby did a great job with it! I would highly recommend!!”
“hands down the BEST drop in sitter ever. hubby and morgan are very accommodating and super helpful people! i made a mistake with the booking and they were able to work around my mistake and still help me out which was life saving. 10/10 would recommend and use 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!”
“We ❤️ Sheri!! She has watched my pup on my long class days for two semesters now and he now knows when we are almost at her house and gets so excited! It’s so nice knowing he is somewhere that he loves and gets lots of walks and snuggles when I can’t be there!”
“Zaria is wonderful with dogs. My little ones tend to be shy and skittish with strangers but not with her. They were comfortable immediately. It was such a relief to know they would be happy with her. I HIGHLY recommend Zaria to take for your fur babies too!”
“Ashley and her family were wonderful in watching my sweet puppy Banks for the day! I was in desperate need of a last minute sitter and Ashley stepped in to help. This was my first time away from Banks and I was overjoyed that he came home happy and well cared for! I would absolutely hire Ashely again and I am so thankful for such an amazing experience :)”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring dog lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or feeding, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Why Choose Me? ✔ Patient, attentive, and reliable ✔ Clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment ✔ Regular updates with photos and messages ✔ Genuinely love spending time with animals I work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a friendly dog of my own, so your pup will have a built-in buddy for play and socialization. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to stick closely to your dog’s routine, provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. Your dog will never be left alone for long and will be treated like part of the family. I care for pets as if they were my own, with safety, trust, and comfort as my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm environment with a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. I also have crates available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet, safe space to relax.
“Vannessa is very reliable and sweet! My puppy loves her. She sends pics/vids throughout the day. Its a bonus that she lives 5mins from me. Grateful to have found her as I wasn’t expecting to get Ace so soon. So thank you very much for all you do, it is more than appreciated!”
About: I have a large variety of experience with dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. I have had a myriad of pet-sitting jobs—for friends, family, and strangers! I also worked as a Veterinary Assistant for years when was younger, so I can work with dogs and cats of all mannerisms and at all stages of their lives. I am completely comfortable medicating or attending to any special needs. I work remotely so I will be home to give your pet all the attention they may need any day of the week. Pet care fits very easily in my routine since I have 2 of my own! I live in a townhome and have a small fenced in yard that is good for potty breaks and some outdoor chilling, but there are also plenty of areas around me to walk the dogs. I have a 5-year-old 65 lb mixed breed dog named Baloo and a floofy orange cat named Bennett, so any dogs staying with me would need to be dog/cat friendly (or at least tolerating). If I come into your home, I am respectful of your space and able to follow instructions well.
“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”
“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: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all kinds since I was 5 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats of all sizes while they travel or during emergencies. I love spoiling pets whenever I get the chance, and I treat every dog or cat as if they were my own. I do work a hybrid schedule and I’m also able to work from your home as well while sitting. I have plenty of time after or even before that to care for any pet that’s in my care. I’m free and available! I have a fenced in backyard and two other fur babies that will also keep your fur babies company and they have a lot of energy as well. I have enough space within my home to crate your puppies/dogs if needed.
“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!”
“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.”
“Julie was so accommodating and sweet with our little Lola. Having a backyard to run around in was great! We’ll definitely be having Julie watch Lola anytime we are headed out of town!”
“Cozmel took great care of our Ziggy! Ziggy made a new friend with Shep, and they enjoyed playing together in the large fenced-in back yard. Cozmel communicated well before, during, and after, making us at ease knowing our dog was getting the care we wanted. Will definitely request another doggy day care visit in the future!”
“My dogs really enjoyed their stay with Nadia...they came home and passed out from exhaustion so I know they had fun! Nadia has a nice fenced in yard for the dogs to play, and screens other dogs well to ensure that there is no doggy drama. I will definitely be using her as a sitter again soon!”

“This was the first time I have ever used this app/service and Taylor was absolutely amazing and quick to respond (which was amazing as my request was same day). She was so patient and gentle with my dog as he can be very wary/scared of strangers, but she did a great job of giving him time to warm up to her! I could tell he was absolutely ready for a nap after the walk.”
“Very flexible in scheduling visits, a very nice and friendly personality, took detailed notes on his visits, and was very loving and friendly to my dog. He is the first person I go to if I need someone to check in on my dog.”
“Mandy was phenomenal and I know that Mickey enjoyed every minute of his time with her to the fullest extent of his heart!! She exhibits so much care and I'll definitely be continuing with her services, much to Mickey's delight!”
About: Took a break from Rover for a few years but am now back and excited to help care for your pets! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and love caring for them. I had an 18 year old Dachshund and currently have a 13 year old lab mix, so I am used to caring for adult-senior dogs and am knowledgeable on giving medications. I work from home right now so I have flexibility. I will treat your dog as if it’s my own, lots of love, treats, and belly rubs! I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! Please reach out if you have any questions. I currently work from home during the week so I am flexible on the time and length of drop in visits and mid day walks! I can easily adapt to the care that your fur baby is used to receiving from you! I know all dogs have their own special set of instructions and will follow them to the letter.
“Alexandra is the best.My dog paced the floor excited when she knew she was on the way. Very friendly and reliable and tolerated my pulling dog. She helped me tremendously on short notice. My GSP Sadie enjoyed her walking adventures. I trust Alexandra with any pet needs and will be using her in the future!”
“Steven has helped us a few times now. He is always extremely responsive, responsible and the dogs love him! (The cats don't talk as much but I'm pretty sure they think he's fine.) We are so grateful to have Steven to help us. He took our oldest dog out for a walk by herself and then came back and got the other, more rambunctious ones!”
“Brandi was so great with my dogs while I was away. She sent me a detailed report about their behaviors while on their walk. I received multiple great pictures of my babies attached to the report and it made me feel so much better while I was away. As someone who is a first time user of Rover, I am so glad to have found someone who is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to help in any way she can. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone who loves their furbabies”
About: My love of dogs started in 4th grade when my family adopted the best black Labrador ever! We named him Smoky. I fed him and cared for him. He loved to take walks and fetch sticks. I am organized and can follow a written schedule. My daughter has been doing Rover for a couple of years now. She has taught me the ins and outs of caring for pets in another person’s home. She has encouraged me to do this due to my capabilities and love of pets. I am retired. I have flexibility. My business background taught me the organizational skills to mesh together multiple schedules. And I know how to treat your home with respect. I will follow your written instructions. Feeding, medication, brushing, walking, sleeping. If your pet has had a trauma, I need to know about it. Communication is key. If I am at your home on trash day, I will take out the trash. Let me know what day it is. I will collect your mail. Your home will be treated with respect. Non smoking homes only. Your pet will be loved.
“We have used Collette multiple times now and she has been a terrific help, always responds on time and is reasonably priced which is much appreciated. I would definitely recommend:)”
About: All my life, I have helped animals in trouble or strays, turning them into truly loved and cared for pets. I spent most of my life living on a farm, volunteered for two years at an animal shelter which I still support financially My husband and I take care of the furry friends, He work from home and I work in the mornings, weekends we are in home but some we travel so we prefer to you book in 2-3 days in advance I have a spacious two-bedroom apartment with a balcony covered in artificial grass. Within my complex, there’s a pet play area and plenty of space for walks by the lake—always on a leash. There’s also a flat wooded area with natural grass for pets to enjoy
“Lauren has been absolutely amazing. From our meet up, we knew she would perfect for us. Lauren is very professional, courteous, and really down to earth. Ace has really warmed up to her. We can't thank her enough.”
About: I have taken care of 16 dogs: 11 puppies, 3 inside dogs and 2 hunting dogs (which I turned into couch potatoes) all during the same time period. I have experience with senior dogs, I know they need some extra care and time so I am very patient with them. I found loving homes for 10 of the puppies, I of course had to keep one- his name was Elvis, my best friend for 12 wonderful years. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I’m available 7:45am - 12:30pm every other week. The other weeks my schedule is very flexible, 7am - 5pm. Monday - Friday. I currently do not offer care for pets in my home, recently moved so our home and fenced in yard is a work in progress! When caring for pets in your home please be sure to tell me about any specific needs your pet may require. I love going on walks so it’s a bonus if your dog does too! If not I’ll gladly sit with them and give them belly rubs and ear scratches.
About: I’ve personally have two dogs and one cat, but taken care of many more. Puppies, potty accidents, senior dogs, grouchy cats. I love them all! Looking to gain more professional experience with different animal personalities. I am a former dog foster for the Richmond SPCA and Beagles & Bentleys. My availability is mostly open during the week! For weekends, I might need request decently far an advance as I do Rover as my side job. My home has already been made pet friendly and has the space to accommodate 1-2 more pets (depending on size) as I do have two of my own. I like to get a sense of how the pet feels about his / my home to establish their level of comfortability and trust.
“Amy to the rescue! Our normal dog walker was suddenly hospitalized and we were able to book Amy on short notice (less than 24 hours). We are so glad we did! She came over to meet our pup and had a few questions for us. She was very responsive and sent a little recap of the walk, the walk details, and amazing pictures. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’m a teacher, and I love dogs! Over the summer, any excuse to get outside and spend time with dogs is a good day for me. I would love to spend some time with yours! I have a rescue dog currently, Bruno. I’m on summer break, so I am not working full-time right now. I have plenty of time to give to your dog this summer! I am often walking every morning and afternoon anyway. I can help out in any way that’s needed. I love taking walks, and I’m always up for going the long way! For drop ins, I will give your pets some love and whatever else they need!
“Christian was absolutely fantastic! He was very easy to work with. He took great care of dog family member... Christian communicates well and is very responsive. We're happy to book with him any time! Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was fantastic! Her communication and care were top-notch and I knew my anxious cattle dog mix was in great hands with her. My other sitter canceled last-minute right before Christmas, and it ended up being a blessing in disguise because I ended up finding Ashley instead. My dog, who is very nervous and easily bored, got so much love and attention, and was very calm and content when I picked her up. I will absolutely hire Ashley again, I am beyond thrilled with every aspect of the experience. A+!!”
“Newman was so happy in the pics that were sent during his stay. Le’Quitta and her crew spoiled him and took great care of him. Definitely will rebook and use her again!”
“Elizabeth agreed to watch my dog last minute and was very accommodating and kind! She sent me a lot of pictures and updates and made it feel like I wasn’t even away from my pup! I definitely look forward to booking with her again.”
“My three and a half year old golden retriever has never been so happy to see me go on a trip! She had a great time with Geraldine and her family. They made her feel welcome right from the start and treated her like a princess throughout the long holiday weekend. She was happy to see me when I got back but, after a few minutes of wiggle butt and some attention, she laid down and decided she was staying. She’s never been that at home anywhere! I’m so grateful, I enjoyed my vacation knowing my little girl was well taken care of.”
