“Excellent dog sitter. We got photos everyday and our miniature schnauzer was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Cyndi. We will bring our Zoe back for another stay. Thanks SO much , Cyndi ?”
“We had a great first time experience with Amy! She was responsive, communicative and very easy to work with. Our dog had such a great time playing with the other puppies for the weekend! We got tons of pictures from Amy every day which we loved. Will definitely book again!”
“Susan is a wonderful Rover! Her family is so kind as well. They take great care of our puppy and he loves going over to stay at their house! She is super communicative and flexible.”
“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!”

“Laura was wonderful. We liked her immediately and she was really good with my dog Banksy. When we walked in her home I knew we had made the right choice. Banksy got a lot of attention from Laura and had fun playing with her dog Daisy in the backyard. We really appreciated the videos and pictures she sent as well.”
“I can’t imagine ever leaving my dog with anyone else, Sheri and her family are FANTASTIC. They took such good care of my dog, sent daily updates with photos, threw my dog a birthday party, and went above and beyond literally every single day she was in their care. I highly recommend Sheri - she was communicative, kind, and flexible and I might just plan vacations around her availability in the future.”
“They were great! Due to surgery I changed my schedule on them twice and they were still able to accommodate change day of. Sloan had so much fun and got to play fetch for hours! Definitely will reach out if I come back to the area!”
“Super appreciate Alexandra! She took great care of our cat while we were away. Would 100% trust my animals with her again. Could tell how loved my cat was during the time we were gone! Received lots of updates.”

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.”
“Jessica was our Christmas miracle!!! She was so kind and flexible when our plans were changing. She sent updates everyday with multiple pics without me having to ask first. She was always quick to respond and took great care of Ranjha (she had already read up on his history before we had our meet and greet so she could ask all the right questions!) We will definitely be booking with her again :)”
“Wonderful experience. Emily and Abi took such good care of our CheChe! Communication was excellent and they made sure she had everything she needed to be healthy, happy and comfortable during her week-long stay.”

“Cathy Jo was fantastic- the moment she walked into our door to meet us, our cat immediately greeted her at the door - which was definitely a sign that she would be perfect to care for him while away. She did a wonderful job, we will definitely call on her again. 🙂”
“From the initial meet and greet to caring for our cat, Gumby, Alexandra was amazing. It was clear that our timid cat absolutely adored her. The updates and photos from each visit put us completely at ease, and her communication was always clear and timely. We will definitely be rebooking her soon!”
“Amy was a delightful sitter! My original sitter was unresponsive so Amy stepped in LAST minute to feed my cat twice a day over a long weekend. So grateful to know my guy was in very good hands.”
“Once again, Steven stepped up when the unexpected happened! I failed to provide the alarm access - and he had to deal with that ALARM sounding and the impact on the kitties. He is always calm and handles all issues with professionalism. Thanks (again!), Steven!”
“Laura was wonderful! It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Laura made me feel super comfortable! She sent so many cute pictures/videos of my kitty Poe, gave me updates, and I always felt like I could reach out to her to check in. Highly recommend Laura! :)”
“Helen is wonderful! She responds quickly and was able to accommodate last minute requests. She is great with our puppy always keeping her entertained. We will definitely continue to use Helen’s services.”
“Taylor was so attentive and friendly. She was always on time and reported everything. She even had to work around a storm- which our dog gets severe anxiety about. Our dog was extremely well taken care of and loved. We will definitely use Taylor again!”
“I’m so grateful that a friend recommended rover to me. I was able to secure a reliable, loving animal caregiver to care for my pets while I was away. Having Anne’s help gave me peace of mind. She’s honest and caring. I sincerely think Anne was a true blessing.”
“We could not be happier with Mandy's care for our two cats. It is clear from the regular photos and videos we received that our kitties loved her visits and were well cared for. We felt completely at ease while away, and highly recommend Mandy's services!”

About: Hi! I am a teacher, lifelong animal lover, and proud golden retriever mom. I also have a wonderful cat named Miles and previously cared for my beloved soul cat Rosie who passed away from heart disease. Because of Rosie, I have extensive hands-on experience giving cats multiple types of medication several times a day, including pills and liquids. I am very comfortable supporting pets who need extra medical care, gentle handling, and consistent routines. I am 28 years old and live in the Henrico area. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have grown up with big dogs, small dogs, and cats of all personalities. That lifelong experience has shaped me into a calm, safe, responsible, and deeply compassionate caregiver. As a current teacher and someone who loves animals with all my heart, I bring patience, positivity, and reliability into every visit. I am very flexible and easy to work with, and I will always go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet feel completely comfortable with the care I provide. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, structured walks, medication support, or simply a loving presence while you are away, I am here to help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about me or the type of care I can offer. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry family member soon. I am a teacher and a dog and cat mom. I offer flexibility and reliability during the summer months to walk, check in, pet and house sit. I live in house with a fenced back yard in close proximity to Bryant Park. The street I live on is particular quiet with minimal car traffic. I also have a dog who is very friendly and loves other dogs. I have a cat as well and he is a friendly kitty who gets along with everyone (including high energy pups). I can easily crate your dog if that is how you prefer them to sleep!
About: Since college, I’ve been asked to care for others’ puppies/dogs! I’m intentional in knowing your buddy’s personality and wants/needs. I wanna make sure that they feel as loved as they do with you! I work a 9am - 5pm job and I make sure that my own pup is cared for before my day starts, during lunch time, and after my job. If they boarded with me, I would spend at least an hour and a half with your pup and mine to make sure that they get a big chunk of exercise (walking, playing, training), get fed, & get snuggles before I leave for work. Then, during my lunch hour I would make sure that they get fed, go for a walk, & play. At night, I would have the same structure with a little bit more of rest time and play time! While I’m at work, I keep my pup in a small play pen with toys/activities. She has to a little bit of room to walk around in the play pen as well. I have an extra play pen for your pup to be in while I’m at work or they can be in the same pen as my pup!
About: I have taken care of my babies every day for the past 4 years and previous as well. Previous meaning I have also taken care of my grandmothers cats as well since they were born. Bottle fed and everything. My babies are the most precious animals in the world to me including my pups as well. I would adopt/rescue more if I could!

“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!”
“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!”
“Katie did an amazing job with our puppy Bear! She made him feel so welcome and safe and her sweet Louie is an angel - wore bear out! Katie was so easy to work with and gets an A++ for communication! Bear will definitely go back to Katie Camp!”
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.
“Sheri was incredible. Made plenty of time for our dog and made sure he was comfortable and received lots of care. Sent pics and updates throughout the day. Will 100% call her again if we need a sitter!”
“Pamela and Paul were awesome with Monroe! She is a sensitive dog who felt right at home with a little extra attention. They were flexible with our schedule and accommodating for a late pick up one day. I will definitely use them again- true animal lovers that treat your dog like their own!”
“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”

“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!”

“I have never left my puppy with anyone since I got him in February, however, I knew as soon as I met Ciara and Charlie, Roscoe was in good hands!! Once school starts, I will be taking my dog back 3x a week! Not to mention, every time I leave now Roscoe gets excited because he thinks he’s going to see his new friend.”
“Christine has a clean and safe space for the dogs to play and lounge about. Her place was convenient to access and she sent updates throughout the day. The dogs came home happy and tired! I’ll happily use her dog sitting services again!”
“Cheryl provides a loving and perfect daycare location. Her home is setup wonderfully for the dogs to roam free and lounge happily together, getting the attention and love they need while away from home. I look forward to recurring dogsitting with her.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I have been pet and house sitting for years, mostly just pitching in for friends who know how eager I am. My childhood dog lived until 16 and was my best friend. I was his primary caretaker, especially in his elder years. I have lived with many animals throughout my life and find caretaking to be something that comes naturally for. As a dog person, I never expected to grow into such a cat lover, but I am a fan of all creatures big and small. My best friend has a dog that I take care of anytime he needs it. He refers to me as her "dog aunt". I have a reasonably sized car and am open to making trips to the park/river, as well as going on walks around your neighborhood or providing whatever other companionship is needed for your animal. I currently work part-time as a Float Therapy Specialist. This keeps me somewhat occupied on the weekends, but I’d still say I have pretty open availability. Weekdays I am available after 1pm when I finish my massage training. I believe pets are like people in that they all have their own personalities and needs. My goal is to create a relationship with your animal so I can best suit their needs.
“Always satisfied with Srujana’s care and enthusiasm when looking after Tenor. The pup always comes back happy, and most importantly, tuckered you after playing with Rex all day.”

My work schedule is pretty flexible, but my schedule is Monday - Friday, 8am - 4pm, and I am off weekends. So, I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur bestie! I’m your pet’s favorite pet sitter! Whether they like to play outside or prefer to just relax on the couch and watch tv… I’m more than happy, as long as they are happy!
“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!”
“Grace was so helpful and quick to respond to a last minute request! She took great care of Cookie and brought in some packages that were left on our porch without being asked! We will definitely be booking her again!”
“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.”
“Wesley was fantastic with our pups! Working 12hr shifts it can be challenging to find someone to check on and walk my two mini poodles, so I am very thankful Wesley was able to make time for them! Wesley also took the time amidst a busy schedule to meet the fur family which really helped😊🫶🙌”
“Jenna, she went above and beyond her duties as a dog walker. She was very kind to Trevor, who is kennel anxiety dog. That has been in Hanover County animal shelter for way too long so this beautiful vibrant, sweet sweet dog they decided to euthanize so I have been walking him so that he won’t have kennel. Anxiety and Jen was a wonderful part of this. thank you so much and a shout out to Jenna”
“Shelby walked my dog daily for over a week while I was unable. She was always on time, responsible, friendly to my dog, and communicative. I recommend her as a dog walker.”

“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: I have over a year of hands-on experience working with dogs as a pet care boarding associate and a dog groomer. I truly enjoy what I do and take pride in making pets feel safe and comfortable. Friends trust me to care for their pets, which speaks to my reliability and genuine love for animals. Aside from professional experience- i’ve grown up with cats and whole lot of animals (chickens, sheep) and loved them all deeply:) I’m currently working part time and I am also a student. However, I still have extra time on my hands to care for your pups and kittys especially since summer is coming up! I can stop by your house and care for your pets and if I have time I can sit for a little and keep them company for awhile. I can give your fur baby attention, love, and care (feeding, walks, going potty, etc). Since i’ve had some professional experience I can try to earn a dogs trust if they’re a little bit anxious along with remaining calm and giving them some time to open up!
About: Hi! I'm Christynn, and I'm 19! I’ve worked with animals for years, starting at a boarding facility when I was 16, where I learned daily care, handling, and health monitoring. I also completed a two‑year animal science program in high school that earned me my Veterinary Assistant Certification. Now I’m studying Animal Science at Virginia Tech, continuing to build both hands‑on and academic experience with animal care and welfare. Now that I’m home for the summer, I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and the only day with limited hours is Sunday, I’m free after 1pm. I’m excited to spend my summer giving your pets lots of attention, walks, and love. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your routines closely, feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, and any house rules you already have in place. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep an eye on behavior, eating, and overall well‑being, and I’ll always update you so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re gone.

I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’m reliable, communicative, and can always send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away. I am comfortable cleaning up after your pet in a capacity including accidents and litter boxes.

“My boyfriend and I booked boarding with Aimee for a week, and she was great! I’m very grateful for her flexibility. I originally thought our flight would land on Monday, but it landed Tuesday. She was very accommodating and was able to keep Bo the extra day. She sent multiple pictures during the week updating us. Being so far away, it made our minds relax knowing that he’s in good hands with her. I highly recommend booking with Aimee!!”
“Silas had an amazing stay as per usual with Sheyanna! She was so communicative, sweet and so obviously cares about our boy. She was so flexible with our schedule even with all the delays and the chaos of traveling, which I appreciated so very much. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and attentive sitter for their babies 💗”
“Panda had a great time with Jennifer and her family. We appreciated the pictures and videos she sent, which showed how well Panda was being cared for. We’re very happy with the experience and hope to have Panda stay there again!”
“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”
About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!
