“I was completely new to Rover as I’ve always been able to leave Aldo with family members he knows but the time finally came where I needed outside help. I honestly dreaded this and felt bad for having to leave Aldo behind BUT Cassandre made this process INCREDIBLY easy by providing reassurances and confidence that Aldo would be taken care of. Detailed updates on Aldo were provided through out the day along with videos/photos showing his progress of being in a new place. From the moment I dropped Aldo off to the moment I picked him up I had full confidence he was taken care of like one of their own ☺️”
“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 🐾✨”
“Luna frequents Laura’s quite a bit but this was her longest stay and it was such a peace of mind to us being across the country knowing she was at her home away from home. The pictures Laura sent throughout the week showed she was having the happiest vacation herself 😎🐾”
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“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.”
“We boarded our 3 dogs with Radka for 3 nights recently. This is the longest they've been away from us. We'd boarded with Radka once before so we knew they'd be in great hands. The many photos and videos Radka sent us reassured us that they were very happy.”
“Nadia and her family were wonderful to my senior dog! I could tell Lily really felt comfortable there. She can be anxious when I’m not with her and I think their home was a calm safe space for her. I would definitely recommend!!”
“Rachel was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in at the last minute after our original sitter canceled, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She was incredibly flexible, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. She also has two dogs of her own, and they got along great with ours, which made the experience even better. Our dogs came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Paula took such great care of our dog, and she was very flexible. We ended up having to change our travel plans and she was willing to work with us. She sent regular updates and I could tell Maggie was well loved while we were gone. I will definitely be asking Paula to take care of Maggie next time we need someone.”
“Tux and Asher were so happy and lovable when they came home. They were well taken care of and I can’t Thank Stephanie enough for the love and care she showed to our two kittens. Will definitely use her again in the future!❤️”
“Our Schoodle, Luther is always happy to go to Lucky's. She cares for him like her own. Always sends pictures and updates to us. She is very kind and considerate. One of our top sitters.”
About: Hi! My husband and I have both had dogs since we were young kids. We currently have a senior dog (female) and a puppy (male 11months). Both are Australian shepherds. We also have two kids (6 and 8). We have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages and needs. :) We have a fenced in yard and our puppy would love someone to play with during the day. I am home with my kids pretty much all summer, so I’m available most of the day. Dogs will need to be good with other dogs and young children as well as spayed/neutered. We have a puppy, so I am in and out all day to take him outside and play with him. I am also home with my kids all summer, so we are at home a lot! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. They are both crate trained, although our senior dog is left out when we leave. I have an extra small crate (or you can bring one). We love dogs and would treat yours like our own.
“This was our first-time using Miranda and she made us feel comfortable from the very start. We started with a pre-stay meet and greet to make sure our dogs got along, and everything went perfectly. Miranda did an awesome job with Draco from the time we dropped him off until the time we picked him up. She sent us many videos and pics and in all of them he looked super happy. It really seemed that he had acclimated and became a part of her family, and they treated him as such. He also really enjoyed playing with their son and their beautiful chocolate lab. We will definitely be using her again in the near future. Draco looked like he was having such a great time in all the pictures and videos, and we were worried that he wouldn't want to come back home to us LOL.”
“We send our pup to Cindy whenever we travel and he always receives the best care! He gets excited when we pull up to her house and comes home tired from all the playing he gets up to!”
“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”
“I could not possibly speak more highly of Dawn. She was in constant communication providing updates and photos of our dog and you can tell she genuinely loves taking care of pets. She was incredibly understanding and went above and beyond when our family was unexpectedly stranded on our way back from our vacation.”
“This is our second time leaving our two babies with Sheri, and she is amazing! Very communicative and she and her kids were so great with our dogs. Trust her and her kids with our babies and will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“Julie took great care of my dog Dakota while I was gone. Dakota can have some separation anxiety at first, but Julie and her pups helped her feel comfortable and home during her stay. I would definitely use Julie again to watch Dakota. She retuned to me happy and healthy. Thank you Julie for taking such good care of my best girl!”
“Collleen was wonderful from first contact to drop off and pick up. Great communicator and we enjoyed seeing pictures of our dog while we were away. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I have two kitties of my own, Ebenezer Scrooge & Binx, who are truly my pride and joy and my best friends. Being a cat owner has given me a deep understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and routines, so I’ll treat your cat with the same love and care I give mine.
“Françoise is amazing she is sweet, kind and just good hearted person. She was amazing to work with my dog was very comfortable! She was even able to work with my crazy changing schedule. Look forward to work with her again!”
“Cynthia did a fantastic job taking care of my cat! She made sure she always had water, a clean litter box, and a little play time. She updated me with each visit and gave a thorough report card to let me know how things were going. I would definitely recommend Cynthia as a cat sitter and book her for future trips.”
“Damacia did a phenomenal job caring for our cat while we were away. The brief daily posts helped reassure us, and we were really able to enjoy our trip! Our kitty clearly loves Damacia, who seems to have quite a gift with animals. Fantastic!”
“Laura went above and beyond! She took such excellent care of my senior cat, Milo. I usually miss my boy so much when away and while I still did, Laura’s pictures and notes were so thoughtful and sweet that I knew how well cared for and loved my cat was while I was away. Laura is such a kind hearted and sweet spirit and I would absolutely have her take care of Milo again!”
About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal care professional with hands-on experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a boarding kennel. During my time at the kennel, I cared for cats of all ages—from playful kittens to senior cats—including those with medical conditions and special care needs. I'm experienced in administering medications, monitoring for changes in health, and ensuring each cat receives the individualized attention they deserve. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or simply having someone reliable to care for them, I'll provide compassionate, dependable care and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your feline family member is in experienced hands.
“Kiara did a great job with my cats Beans and Josie while I was out of town. She even managed to draw out my scaredy cat Beans—at least enough for a picture! I would highly recommend her.”
“Kayla went above and beyond while watching our pets over Christmas while we were away! She spent time playing with them and cleaned up throw up from one of our kitties so we did not have to worry about it. She followed our many house instructions to a tee. We will definitely use Kayla again and recommend you do the same. 😊”
About: I have been taking care of my friends and family’s cats on and off for years. I also have my own tabby named Dave, who is the absolute best! I will care for your kitty like they are my own.
“This was our second time booking Kaylee to watch Percy. This time it was for two weeks. She gave me a feeling of confidence that she could handle whatever needed to be done. Plus she sends lots of good photos. Percy’s dishes and litter box were spotless. Thanks!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, and I’m patient with shy or nervous cats. I’m very attentive to feeding routines, litter box cleanliness, and any changes in behavior. I’ve also worked with senior blind cats. I can also follow detailed care instructions and provide updates while you’re away. I treat every cat as if they were my own and make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
“I was glad that Paula was able to take care of my cat on relatively short notice during 4th of July weekend. Being new to Rover I was a bit anxious about leaving for my trip but after meeting Paula I could relax, knowing he was in good hands and my patio plants are going to be taken care of during the heat as well. She sent pictures and videos every day which I really appreciated and she communicated with me during her visits to let me know how he was doing. Will gladly book her again in the future.”
About: I’ve had my most recent kitty for 6 1/2 years. I can’t imagine life without her. She’s the best. I know how it feels to be in love with your kitties & it would be my pleasure to take care of yours. I am currently not working so I’ll have plenty of time to play with & care for your kitties. I’m available most days & times. I’ve been a cat sitter for 10 years & absolutely love taking care of kitties. I also have a kitty myself so I’m fully aware of how to feed, water, sift the litter for, play with, & love on your kitty while you’re away.
“Caitlyn and Sam were so great with my dog and truly treated him like family! My dog can be a handful so having a sitter who enjoys him as much as I do is very important. I will definitely use them again!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful! We had her sitting for our very needy cat while we were away for 5 days with our dog. She was super accommodating to our cat’s quirks and our requests. We will definitely prevail on Julia’s services again to include having her look after our elderly dog - she was marvelous, caring and very thoughtful!”
About: I've been a cat owner for about 3 years now of, initially, an orange female tabby cat, and now, since June, a black male cat. Both cats are from foster parents working with adoption agencies, and could not be sweeter. I have learned that cats are very different from dogs, and that it is important to let them approach you on their own terms. They get along really well with my 2 dachshunds, and play/sleep well together. I would be clear and explicit in my communication with you about how I can best meet your cat(s) needs, as I know every cat is unique and has unique needs and wants.
About: 10+ years of kitty expertise! Whether your cat is a social butterfly or a bit moody, I know how to speak their language. I specialize in seamless introductions and keeping cats engaged with lots of playtime. Your cat's comfort and routine are my top priorities.

“Ms. Paula felt just like home. Like I was leaving my baby with my parents. I was so comfortable and at ease during our visit. My child did not miss me at all and I knew she was in good hands. Haribo is an excellent helper lol. He is equally as sweet as Ms. Paula. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Lori and her husband were kind enough to watch my two fur babies, Sammy & Sylvie, in a pinch. My pups adore them & we are so grateful that they are in great hands every time. Thank you so much Lori!”
“My dog loved going to Cindy’s for day care. I can tell because he always runs into her house when we get there. Cindy was great, sent lots of pics and actually got him to eat his food. Lots of other dogs to play with too. I felt at ease while I was at work knowing that he was taken care of! Look forward to sending him there again.”
About: I have loved animals my entire life and have had more than one family pet from the day I was born. I worked in veterinary care for a good bit of time, and I have been trusted by many families to care for their animals while they were away on trips. I am comfortable giving medicine, working on obedience, and giving more snuggles than your pup will know what to do with. My husband works from home 3-4 days a week, so your dog would have many opportunities to go outside and to be loved on. I am available Monday through Friday for lunch time check-ins and potty breaks, and I'm available for walks after 5pm Monday through Friday. We could also accommodate over-night boarding any day of the week, as long as we do not have a previously scheduled weekend away. While I do not have a fenced in yard, our family loves to be outside and take walks as much as possible through out the day. We also have our energetic 5 year old dog, Maverick, to keep your dog company through out the day and engage in play. We have ample space in our home for a crate. Our daughter also loves to throw the ball and makes sure her puppy feels loved all the time.
About: I have experience with many different sizes, breeds, ages and needs. I will listen carefully to directions and will provide updates and photos with each day. Please reach out with any questions! I work from home and am available for weekdays, weekends and holidays. I am extremely flexible, please feel free to reach out with any questions! I have a large fenced in yard loaded with yummy sniff spots and plenty of room to run and play. We welcome all fur animals into our home & will accommodate your pup in whatever way makes them most comfortable while you’re away, inside and outside! ❤️
“Carleen is like home away from home for our dog! We love having her available when we’re visiting family in Richmond. She takes great care of our dog and we never have to worry!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats since infancy and I started petsitting professionally for neighbors, friends, family and others at age 12. Now, I love providing petsitting, dogsitting and petcare services for animals on the side. I have two well-behaved indoor cats of my own and they have many "cousins" (my mom bred Shelties and currently owns three, in addition to a kitten and my sister has a rescue pup). I have fostered moms with kittens from the SPCA. I am patient, kind, loving and caring for furry-faced friends brings me much joy and fulfillment! I currently take care of my best friend’s Maine Coon when she is out of town and on weekdays, I let out and play with her Corgi and lab puppy mid day. I also Petsit for neighbors as needed and have long term relationships with families whose dogs and cats I have taken care of for going on 6+ years! I work full time but it is regular 9-5 Mon through Fri hours and it is a remote job so I work from home. I am available in the mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays and can check in on pets during the day if needed. I have petsat for many folks while working full-time without any issues, and have already established a great routine for petsitting while working remotely! I live in a spacious two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. I have two friendly, well-behaved indoor cats who are familiar with dogs, cats and pets and have had foster cats, kittens and dogs in our apartment with no fights or problems! We do not have a yard, but the apartment is pet-friendly, in the suburbs, in a safe neighborhood and has lots of sidewalks, grassy areas and space for dog walking, etc. There is even a fenced-in dog park a minute from our apartment, in the complex! :) Our apartment is clean, spacious and has plenty of blankets, furniture and space for fuzzy-faced kiddos! I work full time but remotely and it’s easy for me to fit pet care into that routine! Having a flexible schedule allows me to work around your pets’ needs! I am flexible and am comfortable caring for your fur baby in my home or yours! Have provided both services over the years. Just let me know what best suits you!
“Griff loves G! She gives him lots of attention, affection, and always makes him feel part of the family. Griff really appreciates the sniffing adventures she plans for him. Thanks G for providing my pup with great care and love!”
“Dawn was a true lifesaver when we were in town for my daughter's graduation, and needed help watching our pup who has separation anxiety. She remained flexible throughout our weekend of constantly changing plans. She had great communication and feedback and I always knew that our pup was doing well at her house in her care. Thank you for taking such great care of Enzo, and helping to make graduation weekend a success, Dawn!”
“Bentley really enjoyed his dog sit with Aileen and her family. Everything went well. Kept me informed of how much fun he was having and sent pictures. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of any size and age. My neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for many years to watch over their pets. From dogs, cats, and even horses, I have kept animals safe and happy. During visits I can take pets on walks, play with them, administer medicine, and provide proper clean up! I am currently home from college right now, so I have a lot of free time! For me, pet care will be a priority this summer. I’m available at all hours during the day, aside from a couple of weeks this summer where I will be out of town! I will have plenty of time to keep your pets happy! In your home, I will ensure your pets are consistently in a safe environment. I will remove any hazards in your pet’s space, ensure leashes/harnesses are intact before walks, properly lock doors before leaving, and I can safely crate your pet if needed.
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, ever since I was a kid. There’s something about getting to know their personalities makes me want to provide them the same love and care that that owners show. I am experienced with long-term sitting, including stays exceeding two weeks, where I focus on maintaining the dog’s specific routine, diet, and energy levels. I’m currently working full-time, but I do work from home so that helps a lot. I work between 9-5, but I can also work weekends here and there. Just let me know and I’ll see how I can oblige. I have a fenced backyard with two gates on each side of my home and a backyard camera so your furry friend can run freely and you can rest at ease knowing they are safe
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m here to make being away from your pet feel a little easier. I know how important updates, communication, and consistency are when trusting someone with your furry family member. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while your pet is in my care. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s personality and routine — whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, slow introductions, medication support, or simply keeping things calm and predictable. I send regular photo updates and communicate clearly so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every client relationship like it matters long term, not just for one booking. I've had dogs all my life and am currently a dog mom to my sweet mixed breed. She's been with us for almost 2 years and is a joy to our household. We do not have any other animals, but I did grow up in a veritable zoo (Rabbits, birds, dogs, cats, goats, fish and chickens)! I'm happy to learn and adapt to your needs. I'm a stay at home mom and so my availability is quite flexible. I only ask that your furry baby is friendly with other kids and dogs. Your furry baby will be treated as one of my own. Each dog will join in on family playtime, walks and of course lots of scritch scratches! I'm currently a stay at home mom with both kids in school. I'll have plenty of time to care for your furry baby. I have a dog of my own, so if we are boarding or doing doggy day care, your pup will have a doggy playmate! Every dog is different, so I’d love to hear about your dog’s quirks, routines, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I do my best to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I have a fully fenced in back yard and a dog to keep your pup company. I also have elementary aged kids in my home who are very familiar in how to handle dogs. Our dog is fully vaccinated. Our yard is free of pesticides and chemicals.

About: Hi! I'm a passionate pet sitter with professional experience working in both a boarding kennel and a veterinary clinic. During my time at the kennel, I cared for pets of all ages—from young puppies and kittens to senior pets—and worked with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also have experience caring for pets with medical conditions and special needs, including administering medications and providing attentive, individualized care. Working in a veterinary clinic has further strengthened my knowledge of animal health and behavior, allowing me to recognize when a pet may need extra attention and provide confident, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos throughout my visits. 🐾 I currently work full time at the veterinary clinic but I can pop in multiple times a day to check on your furry friend(s) or I can also stay the night at your house 😊 When caring for your furry friends in their home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship and attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also have experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a boarding kennel, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including those with medical conditions or special care instructions. I understand that pets feel most secure in their own environment, so I take the time to make them feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I can administer medications if needed and will closely follow any instructions you provide to ensure their health and well-being. During each visit, I’ll also check that everything is safe and in order in your home, and I’ll provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring, capable hands. 🐾

“Have had a wonderful experience with Kaylee as our dog walker. She’s very attentive to both our dog’s needs and gives me regular updates and photos. Our boys look forward to seeing her every day for their walk and treats.”
About: Hi there! I’m Fabrizio, proud dog parent to Bruno, my 5-year-old buddy who taught me that every pup has their own personality and needs. Over the years I’ve also cared for the pets of friends and family — from playful puppies to older dogs that just need extra love and attention. I’m flexible, reliable, and love keeping owners updated with pics and messages. With me, every walk is an adventure and every cuddle feels like home. 🐾🐶 I work as an independent sports agent, which means most of my job is done from my phone and laptop. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust my day around walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, evenings, or even weekends, I can usually make it work. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find the perfect times to keep them happy and cared for. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions carefully to make sure your pets feel comfortable and secure. I treat every house as if it were my own, with responsibility and care. On walks, I’m always alert to surroundings, traffic, and other animals. I keep dogs safely leashed, avoid risky situations, and make sure they get exercise in a fun but safe way. You can trust that your pets will always be in good hands with me.
“Bre was fantastic! She was willing to adjust her schedule to help with the weather and always communicated with the person house sitting. The dogs were super excited to see her everyday so I know she took excellent care of them. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Christian and I have been a dog lover since the age of 8 when we got a black lab named Charlie. He was a 100+ lb teddy bear who would go on runs, play basketball, and nap whenever he got the chance. Then, my fiancé (at the time) and I got a miniature long haired dachshund who is now seven months old. A year later, we adopted another miniature long haired dachshund from the same family (half-brother). As you can see, I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, I strongly considered being a vet as being around animals makes me happiest. If you choose me to take care of your dog, you can be sure they will be loved, pampered, and given high quality care. Contact me today! I am currently off for the summer as a doctoral student and work remotely part-time during the school year. So, my schedule is pretty flexible and I am confident that we can work out an agreeable schedule. I will plan to take care of your fur babies in your own home unless you have a small animal that is particularly friendly with others. It is extremely important to me that your animals feel safe, loved, and cared for in the best way possible. During the meet and greet, I will try to get an understanding of their needs and levels of affection that are appropriate. I also have three young kiddos who love animals and have been taught the appropriate, safe way to approach animals that are not ours. If that would be helpful or meaningful for your animals, I know they would love to meet them too, but obviously at your discretion.
“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.”
“Kiara was extremely reliable and patient with both of my dogs. One has a neurological condition and Kiara was able to handle her with grace. Would highly recommend and use again.”
About: I love furry babies of all shapes and sizes! have had a dog ever since I was born. I have also dog sat for my sisters, friends, and in-laws. I am comfortable with puppies all the way up to elderly dogs and I love dogs of all sizes. My dogs have always been small, but I've always loved big dogs as well! I work with small children, so I am used to cleaning up messes when needed. I also have given medicine to my own dogs and am comfortable doing so to others. I am also comfortable bathing your dog, if needed. I had dog who was completely deaf and mostly blind, so I am used to caring for elderly dogs or dogs who need special accommodations.
“Shannon was huge help walking our dog Nora after my foot surgery. She was responsible, communicative, and took some cute pictures of Nora during their walks! We will definitely book again.”

I’m available at all hours during the day, aside from a couple of weeks this summer where I will be out of town! I will have plenty of time to keep your pets happy! In your home, I will ensure your pets are consistently in a safe environment. I will remove any hazards in your pet’s space, ensure leashes/harnesses are intact before walks, properly lock doors before leaving, and I can safely crate your pet if needed.
“Christell went above and beyond to care for our pup who can be anxious with new people. She sent great pictures and a thorough description of their walk. We definitely will be booking her again!”
About: I have two amazing dogs, Milo and Winter, that play constantly! They are best of friends and always welcome new friends. Milo is an 8 month old puppy still learning house training and making amazing progress. I found him at a rescue in Philly when I was visiting March 2026- love at first site! He clicked so well with my German Shepherd mix Winter, that I rescued in June 2025. Prior to falling in love with these two rescues, I helped foster several dogs through a local rescue- while healing from the loss of my dog of 13 years, Bella. She was a one dog household kind of girl, but Winter was just the opposite. I could tell she needed a friend, and Milo came into our lives at just the right time. I so look forward to helping care for your fur babies and will give them all the walks, plays, and cuddles they might need. I’ll ensure all your care is personalized to your dog’s specific needs. Also, would love to send you pic updates while you’re at work or adventuring! If your dog is in my care for doggy daycare, I will be home with them, unless otherwise discussed with you. If I’m hired to come walk your dog, I’ll give you a detailed update of our walk! I am home and available 7 days a week, unless I’m traveling. My dogs get lots of attention and walks. We love the James River Park system 🫶 I will ask for lots of detail about your pets specific needs so I can curate their care so they feel right at home! A home away from home.
“Bruce is great. He showed up minutes before the appointed time to be certain he was not late. He thrilled the dogs with their first ride in a convertible. He sent plenty of pictures including those that look like the dogs are smiling ear to ear. He was prepared with water during the walk and gave them breaks to rest from the heat. Our yellow lab is usually restless and constantly pulling my husband but she behaved for Bruce. I would highly recommend him.”
About: We (myself and my husband, Ricky) are pet lovers and currently have two "wobbly cats". They don’t freely roam the house due to their wobbly condition and the stairs, so we are able to keep visiting pets separated. Our beloved dog passed away a few years ago and we have had cats ever since. Our kids are 9 and 8, and love to help. I am home full time with the kids, but occasionally Ricky will take the lead on pet sitting in our home. I am home with my kids this summer and our days are filled with a balance of fun and responsibility. We are very flexible with our time, and able to help. We have a fully fenced in back yard. We have chickens in our backyard but they can be kept up in their run if needed.
About: New to Rover but not new to the job! I’ve been taking care of pets for over 10 years, with boarding, housesitting, and walking. I grew up with dogs and cats in my home and am an avid animal lover. I have had dog/clients for over a decade and love documenting my time with my different petpals (if you’d like picture or video updates from your fur baby while you’re away). For boarding or doggy day care in my apartment, my partner also lives here and is a prior vet tech (so I have an extra pair of hands at home). I’m currently working part time remotely and doing online school from my home, so I’ll have plenty of time for pet visits! I love getting outside and going for long walks if your pet needs exercise. I also love just chilling and doing homework if your animal needs companionship! When caring for an animal, I structure my entire routine around their needs and well-being—they are always my top priority. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I understand the worry that comes with being away from a beloved pet. My goal is to provide a reliable, nurturing, and trustworthy environment for your furry family member—whether in your home or mine.
“Julia did an amazing job keeping my puppy busy while I was in a meeting. She is very reliable and I would definitely book again. I loved seeing the pictures and that she included a write-up of all the fun things they did together.”

“I was completely new to Rover as I’ve always been able to leave Aldo with family members he knows but the time finally came where I needed outside help. I honestly dreaded this and felt bad for having to leave Aldo behind BUT Cassandre made this process INCREDIBLY easy by providing reassurances and confidence that Aldo would be taken care of. Detailed updates on Aldo were provided through out the day along with videos/photos showing his progress of being in a new place. From the moment I dropped Aldo off to the moment I picked him up I had full confidence he was taken care of like one of their own ☺️”
“Luna frequents Laura’s quite a bit but this was her longest stay and it was such a peace of mind to us being across the country knowing she was at her home away from home. The pictures Laura sent throughout the week showed she was having the happiest vacation herself 😎🐾”
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“We boarded our 3 dogs with Radka for 3 nights recently. This is the longest they've been away from us. We'd boarded with Radka once before so we knew they'd be in great hands. The many photos and videos Radka sent us reassured us that they were very happy.”
“Rachel was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in at the last minute after our original sitter canceled, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She was incredibly flexible, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. She also has two dogs of her own, and they got along great with ours, which made the experience even better. Our dogs came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Tux and Asher were so happy and lovable when they came home. They were well taken care of and I can’t Thank Stephanie enough for the love and care she showed to our two kittens. Will definitely use her again in the future!❤️”
“Our Schoodle, Luther is always happy to go to Lucky's. She cares for him like her own. Always sends pictures and updates to us. She is very kind and considerate. One of our top sitters.”
“This was our first-time using Miranda and she made us feel comfortable from the very start. We started with a pre-stay meet and greet to make sure our dogs got along, and everything went perfectly. Miranda did an awesome job with Draco from the time we dropped him off until the time we picked him up. She sent us many videos and pics and in all of them he looked super happy. It really seemed that he had acclimated and became a part of her family, and they treated him as such. He also really enjoyed playing with their son and their beautiful chocolate lab. We will definitely be using her again in the near future. Draco looked like he was having such a great time in all the pictures and videos, and we were worried that he wouldn't want to come back home to us LOL.”
“I could not possibly speak more highly of Dawn. She was in constant communication providing updates and photos of our dog and you can tell she genuinely loves taking care of pets. She was incredibly understanding and went above and beyond when our family was unexpectedly stranded on our way back from our vacation.”
“This is our second time leaving our two babies with Sheri, and she is amazing! Very communicative and she and her kids were so great with our dogs. Trust her and her kids with our babies and will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“Julie took great care of my dog Dakota while I was gone. Dakota can have some separation anxiety at first, but Julie and her pups helped her feel comfortable and home during her stay. I would definitely use Julie again to watch Dakota. She retuned to me happy and healthy. Thank you Julie for taking such good care of my best girl!”
“Collleen was wonderful from first contact to drop off and pick up. Great communicator and we enjoyed seeing pictures of our dog while we were away. We will definitely use her again!”
“Elizabeth is ALWAYS fantastic with Gator. He loves going to her house and I love that I can drop him off and enjoy my time out of town knowing that he is happy and safe.”
“Libby was a lifesaver for us. She took care of our geriatric Golden for three days while we were away, then stepped up for an additional four days at the last moment due a a medical emergency, even buying addition food and supplements as needed. She is clearly a dog lover, and our Golden was very comfortable and well cared for with her and her two dogs. Excellent communication and lots of photos completely set our minds at ease at a time when we didn’t need any additional worries. We even got a thorough report-card and little polaroid of our Golden when we picked her up. I can’t say enough good things about Libby. Your dog would be very lucky to have her as a sitter.”
“Cyndi was very considerate. I loved the way she treated my little guy. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She sent me updates frequently and I had a peace of mind while my fur baby with her. Thank you Cyndi. I appreciate your love and care for Oreo.”
“Thomas was great! He agreed to board Oakley with only a few days notice. Oakley was very comfortable at our meet and greet and was well cared for all week. We got frequent photo updates, and it was clear she was having fun with her new buddies. We will definitely use Thomas again. Thank you!!”
