“Very reliable, extremely responsive, gives great updates throughout the stay. Flexible and accommodating when I ran into some air travel mishaps. Would recommend to everyone!”
“I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!”
“Ari took such good care of Stella!! I received updates and photos every day. You could tell Stella was having an awesome time. Ari was very accommodating of Stellas needs as an older dog with knee issues. Her home is so dog friendly with plenty of places for Stella to rest and explore. She was also very understanding and flexible with my travel plans. Would 1000% recommend, and Stella will be back here for sure”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would do so!! I recently moved to Virginia and needed to board my beagle for an out of town trip. I was very anxious because I haven’t connected with a place that I felt comfortable leaving him. Roxana put my fears to rest immediately. The frequent updates, photos and videos of my pup having the time of his life eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip. I will 100% book with Roxana again.”
“When I roll up to Raye’s house for a drop off, Reggie RUNS not walks to her front door (and doesn’t look back!). 😂 It’s such a comfort knowing he’s beyond thrilled to hang with Raye and knowing he’s in an amazing hands!!”
“Our two dogs had a great time socializing with the other dogs and couch time in the evening. Jay kept us informed with photos throughout the stay. We will be back. Thanks!”
“Damacia is was amazing! I found him on Rover after reading through several reviews, and I’m so glad I chose him. He was very responsive and stayed in touch throughout my entire time away, including sending pictures and videos. My dog, Jaxson, has never been around other dogs before, so I know this was a new experience for him but based on the updates I received, he did great. Damacia made me feel completely at ease, and I now have a dog sitter I truly trust to care for Jaxson while I’m away. Highly recommend 🐾✨”
“Mich was awesome! Our dog felt welcomed and comfortable during her stay. Mich’s dog, Milo, was a good companion/ host. Great back yard. Mich sent pictures and regular updates. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“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.”
“This family was amazing. They met me and my dog at the car, showed us around and took time for both of us to be comfortable. The loving family environment was exactly what I hoped to feel. Amy sent pictures or videos daily and kept up with his medication. I enthusiastically recommend them to anyone who wants to feel peace while you're away knowing your fur baby is being cared for as you would do.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Leidy! She took excellent care of our senior dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for ❤️ We would absolutely book with Leidy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“It is an oasis for any dog, plenty of attention, play, great yard, and large house. They have thought of everything and gave my shy dog the perfect place to be herself and blossom. Super nice communication too!”
“Kourtney is such a wonderful dogsitter! This was my first time leaving my dog with a non-family member, and using Rover; both experiences were great! Kourtney treated my pup as if he were hers and kept me updated regularly. She is kind, patient and knows how to care for dogs. Her easy going and kind nature helps ease any anxieties related to leaving your dog behind. It also makes you feel very comfortable to communicate with her. I would highly recommend Kourtney and will use her services again if needed! Leti”
“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”
“I left my 11 year old dog Zee for 4 days and went out of town. I received updates and pictures 3-4 times a day. Zee did not eat much the first day from her bowl so was "hand fed" by Radka to ensure she ate some....OMG! We discussed by text and made a food substitution that worked out..Radka went out and purchased the food with her own funds! She took care of my Zee like she was hers...She walked her, played with her, indulged her, and spoiled her (to be honest)..I felt so happy and contented with the care that I never worried like usual. My family joked that Zee would not want to return home.. Radka's adorable kids even helped out with Zee. What more could I ask for?..this was THE BEST experience i ever had with doggie care in 10 years!! Many thanks to this awesome family..I hope they don't get too popular and unable to take Zee next time I travel..”
“Shay and Jake did an amazing job watching over Wendy. I could tell she was happy and comfortable with all the updates/pictures they provided. Would recommend to anyone who needs a pet sitter in the area!”

“Indiana was phenomenal to work with. Took excellent care of our cats, was super respectful of our home and helped take care of a few things here and there in our house. Was also very communicative and let us know what was happening with our pets. 10/10 she’ll be our go to pet sitter whenever we are in need and she should be your go to as well!”

“Phyllis is incredible. She goes above and beyond for caring for my 3 kitties whenever we have to be away from home. She truly treats my babies like her own and also gives updates on things around my home during the drop-ins (if a package came, etc), so that I feel totally secure during my time away. She is truly the best, and I will always reach out to her when I have to be away. Don't hesitate to book her! She is a true gem!”
“Jessica was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. When she scheduled the initial visit I was super impressed by all of the excellent questions that she asked to make sure that she could do the best job at caring for my cat. While watching my cat she did a brilliant job of caring for her and helping me feel at ease by sending detailed pictures and videos. Jessica definitely exceeded my expectations by spending extra time with my cat and making her feel comfortable. Jessica's a wonderful pet sitter and I strongly recommend that you use her!”

“Tara took care of our cat Evonne with drop-in visits all week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Evonne clearly loved her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Tara was very reliable and did a great job keeping us updated after each visit. She sent regular photos and messages so we could see how Evonne was doing, which we really appreciated. It was obvious that she spent quality time with her and made sure she was comfortable and cared for. We would absolutely recommend Tara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter, and we’d be happy to book her again in the future.”
“Meghan was great! I really appreciated her coming over before my trip to make sure she knew how to get in, and access the food. Would definitely recommend her to others! Thank you!!”
“Samantha was fantastic with my two kitties, allowing me to relax and enjoy my trip to my reunion. One is very withdrawn with strangers or strange noises in the house, but she patiently coaxed him out after several days so that he was comfortable eating with Samantha present. I will definitely look for her for future sitting and visiting requirements while I’m away.”
“Joey watched our dog Layla for the second time and we could tell she was happy to see him. He did all expected task and more. Our Layla has been picky about food lately so he made sure accommodated for her to complete her meals. We will continue to request Joey for Layla.”
“Joanette C is wonderful. She spent the required time and provided daily updates. She is a professional with a caring demeanor. She went the extra mile by informing me of events in and around the home. She was comfortable in our home which allowed the babies to feel comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Joanette C after this experience.”
“He was amazing with my cat! He played with him and sent me many pictures. He followed all my instructions and kept close contact with me. I felt so much better while I was on vacation knowing my kitty was being taken care of!”

She watched my dog all day and did an incredible job managing her high energy; she really went above and beyond to get all those "zoomies" out, and I picked up a very happy, tired pup. Her communication was also top-notch throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly knows how to engage with dogs, I highly recommend booking with Amanda!”

I truly appreciate her kindness and expertise and will definitely book with her again.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about Miguel and his wife! They took amazing care of my fur baby, Church, for the past three days, and the experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment we met, Miguel made sure that Church felt comfortable and safe, even introducing him to their own dog to help them get along. His understanding of dog language, especially with big dogs like mine, is truly impressive. Miguel and his wife are such pleasant, caring people. They kept me informed every step of the way, sending updates and even videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They’re incredibly accommodating, even fitting us in on short notice, which I really appreciated. Church came back home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. I could tell he had a great time because he’s been so content and relaxed. I’m beyond grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and the genuine care they showed my dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and amazing with dogs, Miguel and his wife are the best choice. Thank you both so much! How does that look?

“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. :)”
“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!”
“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!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

About: I promise you trust, communication, comfortability, and great care! I love pets! I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Skippy! I now own my beautiful mut mix of Lab, Pit and Blood Hound. His name is Maverick! He's 2 and such a loving, happy dude! I currently dog sit my mom's 3 Boston Terriors whenever she needs to go out of town and have been since I was a teenager. I also take in my best friend's older pit bull, Cookie, and her and Maverick get along wonderfully! There's plenty of space to walk dogs around my apartment community, along with a fenced in tennis court area where they can run free! I work full time AT HOME so I'm flexible just looking to make some extra money I work from home Monday through Friday, and am available most weekends, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your doggos! I live in an apartment but it's very dog friendly! I will ensure your dog gets lots of attention and love! I have access to lots of trails, open pet areas, and a fenced in tennis court where they can run free and we can play fetch! My dog is very friendly and has lots of experience around other dogs. I do have a large dog crate if that is required or necessary.
“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”
About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine. With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Darnell has been wonderful. He has communicated well and his very respectful/trustworthy to my house. Aurora is also enjoying her time as well(she looks for walks around the same times during the weekends when it’s just us).I’m thankful for Darnell and recommend him for your pet care needs.”
About: I’ve been watching neighborhood and family pets since I was 13, both cats and dogs, elderly and young. I know when to give attention or whether to give them space. Hey! You can also call me Jaxon (he/him.) I’m auditioning for local theatres in Richmond, so my schedule is rather flexible. Weekends and weekdays are currently open, with room for rehearsals and show dates. I’d cater to whatever the pet needs. Some animals like to explore, so I’d supervise as they do so. Others are more reclusive, so I’d keep watch from a respectful distance.
