“Kendra did amazing Niko!! She let us know how he did every single day with a detailed explanation which made me feel super comfortable. She kept my mind at ease. Will forever be going to Kendra ❤️”
“Eric is the best! I recently had a sitter cancel 6 hours before drop-off -- I thought my vacation was ruined! I immediately put out a Sunday morning last-minute Rover requests for a sitter, with very low expectations that anyone would even respond, much less accept. Within a few minutes, Eric responded and then accepted. He totally saved my vacation! After that, he was extremely communicative, but even better, he was perfect for my highly energetic doggo. He gave long dauly walks and play sessions. I knew that my dog would love having his Bucky as a 24/7 playmate, but I was very concerned that he has cats, since Sheba had never seen a cat before. Since she has a high prey drive, I thought there could be serious problems. Eric, however, seems to have a natural understanding of pets, and he was able to safely introduce Sheba to his cats, and apparently there were no issues. Also, Eric was highly flexible when my return flight was delayed by a day, and quickly agreed to extend the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“What a great experience, everything was smooth and Lucky is just the best. You can tell how much she cares for animals. 10/10 recommend, she also updates you days with pictures of your pup.”
“I am more than pleased with the ❤️ and care DAMACIA provided for my 3 months puppy. I would recommend her and we will be going back. Was a little nervous at first, but she reassured me he would be fine even around other Fur Babies.”
“Ayme was great! Just picked up my dog from her first long weekend stay and she seems her usual peppy and happy self. Ayme sent a regular flow of photo updates which was reassuring. We will surely use her services again.”
“Donetta and her service were great. Booked over a holiday weekend short notice and all went very well. She and her pups were great companions to my dog Frida. All were very friendly. Donetta provided great care and daily communications with photos!. Easy drop-off and pick-up. Recommend and will be using again for sure!”
“Jay continues to be our go-to sitter in Richmond! I cannot recommend her highly enough. She takes great care of our dog, sending us photo and video updates, and is very responsive on text. We feel so safe with her!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, I felt completely confident that my dog was in loving and capable hands. Tiffany provided excellent care, attention, and affection, and it was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was reliable, responsible, communicative, and attentive to every detail. I especially appreciated the updates and knowing that my dog was being treated like family while I was away. Her genuine love for animals really showed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their beloved pet. I will definitely use her again! 🐾❤️ Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby!”
“Hilary did an exceptional job with taking care of our dog, Rio. We received photo updates multiple times a day, and she took our dog out for so many outdoor adventures everyday. I honestly think our puppy, Rio, was having such a wonderful time with Hilary that she didn’t have any reason to miss us! Will 100% recommend Hilary to all rover users, and hope to work with her again in the future!”
“Amy took great care of my boy Bruno! I got losts of picture and video updates while I was away, so I never had to worry. My boy came home happy and healthy. We will definitely be bringing him back in the future!”
“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”
“Abby was great! I appreciate that she took the time to meet my boy before his stay to ensure that all the 4 legged friends would be suitable together. I asked for lots of pictures and videos and she delivered. It's difficult being away from my boy so getting constant updates was a huge plus!”
“Cindy was real good with Hudson and communicated with us while we were gone. She sent pictures of him to us. We will use Cindy again in the future when needed. Thank you Cindy. Jay & Lisa M.”
“Sheri was the ABSOLUTE BEST! She has a beautiful family and my dog fell in love with all of them. She did an exceptional job of taking care of my dog and even went the extra mile and cleaned his little eye boogers. Also, she kept me updated with lots of photos which definitely put me at ease. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!”
“Adam was great with Poppy. He’s a gentle soul who clearly loves animals. However, when his kids were there overnight, we learned that Poppy isn’t comfortable with younger kids. Adam made it work for the brief period the kids were around Poppy, but it’s not realistic to need to separate young kids in the home and the visiting dog. Sadly we’re still looking for a sitter.”
“Stacey and her dogs made my dog feel very comfortable and took great care of her! Her communication was prompt. Will reach out to Stacey again for sitting needs.”

“Thank you once again Jonathan for caring for Tota and Zephee and being so communicative and helpful! He played laser and even brushed them which means a lot!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Elijah. From the very first message, he was incredibly thoughtful and responsive. His updates clearly showed he was truly paying attention and making sure my cat felt comfortable and cared for. Elijah is the kind of sitter who makes you feel like your pet is in the hands of a trusted friend. 10/10 recommend—will absolutely book again!”
“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”
“Abby was absolutely awesome with my cat Chili Bean. Consistent check-ins and lots of quality time with the visits she did. She really made sure my cat was well taken care of. Thanks Abby!”
“She was fantastic! Our usual cat sitter was out of town so we needed someone quick who was trustworthy and reliable. Danyelle did a great job with the cats! She provide timely communication and the cats seemed to really like her care. We were very pleased :)”
“This was our first time working with Taylor and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future! She was respectful of our cats (who aren’t friendly), communicative, and timely. We were very pleased with our experience!!!”
“Nick was great with our little June! We had a lovely meet & greet ahead of time before our trip. He was always responsive and asked good questions before hand and throughout. We’re super appreciative of his flexibility over a holiday too! Thanks for everything Nick :)”
“Newish to RVA and first time using Rover. Alyssa was great with my 13yo kitty, Rizzo. She was professional, timely, and communicative. I loved receiving daily photos and updates while I was traveling. Knowing Alyssa was watching my baby gave me peace of mind. I would rebook Alyssa without hesitation!”
“Emily did great with our 2 cats, giving them love and sending updates and pictures to their moms My daughters looked forward to seeing the cats every day when we were gone!”
“Haley is a gem of a pet sitter!! She dropped by every day for a week to feed and play with my kitty while I was out of state. I loved the detailed summaries she sent each day after the visit. Highly recommend her to anyone :)”
“This was my first time leaving my kitties with a Rover. Maria and Luis were AWESOME. They were punctual, thorough and reliable. They sent me lots of pictures of my fur babies, including a picture of the freshly scooped litter box at every visit. I will definitely book with them again in the future :)”
“Holland did a wonderful job of looking after my cat, Lucy. She was always on time, took plenty of pictures/videos, and was even able to give her eye drops. I knew that Lucy was in good hands, and appreciated her thoughtfulness. Will definitely rebook again!”
“Marissa ensured Boris got important time sensitive medications. She sent a couple photos to let me know how he was doing. She is responsible and caring.”
“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”
“Jasmine was great! She was not able to find my cat all of the time but she still sent pictures showing she was dropping in and tried very hard to catch my cat on camera. She even did the litter box even though I forgot to put that on the instructions.”
“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”

“Hugo had a long day-care stay with Ayme - for over a month! Ayme's is his home away from home so it was a no-brainer that that's where Hugo would be while we had our bathrooms remodeled. Hugo enjoyed playing with his doggie friends every day, I think he's bored now. Thanks again, Ayme and Andrew!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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?

“Awesome. My pup loves Amy more than me I feel like. She always comes back happy and clean even after playing all day with the other dogs. Also very flexible with my crazy schedule with pick up and drop off times. Choose Amy!!”
“Abby, had great communication with me while our pup was there. She sent me pics which helped put our minds at ease. What sold me on her was that within 5 minutes of me reaching out with our dogs info and request for care she responded back with her address ready to take him immediately. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be using her services!”
“Matt is responsive and punctual. He goes above and beyond and has updated his house and yard to be the best pup party zone ever! My dog and I are glad we found him.”
“Michaela's great! I contacted her the night before I needed a sitter for my 5 month old puppy, and she got back to me very quickly that she was available. She worked with my schedule and was a huge help in a pinch. I checked in with her a couple times during my pup's stay and she replied with updates and pictures. Thanks, Michaela!”
“Adam and Beau is a match made in heaven! Beau apparently played it cool during his visit; he had “checked out” Adam’s home on our initial visit and settled in pretty easily during his longer stay.”
“Great with my little one she is old and spoiled Chihuahua and she just keeps getting spoiled. Loves the yard to run in and play with the bigger dogs sometimes. But the best part is she is worn out by the time we get home. And they are so flexible with my crazy schedule.”
“Kendra was awesome. I could tell Teddy had a great time because she made sure to send pictures and through updates throughout the day. We greatly appreciated it! We would highly recommend her and will be booking again in the future.”
“Amanda is hands down a five-star sitter! 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!”
“Lily had a great time. I was sent pictures a few times during her doggie daycare and she was soooo happy 😊. This is the first time she had ever used Rover. I am so glad that it was a pleasant experience for her. I liked that they asked important questions about her health and preferences. There were other pups being cared for as well and it sounded like everyone got along. I would highly recommend Susan and her husband to care for your beloved fur babies.”
“Myrna is a great sitter. She has taken excellent care of Starbuck. We have scheduled doggie day care and boarding. Myrna's schedule is flexible and she works with us on drop off and pickup times. We will continue to use Myrna's services.”

“Emily is a wonderful dog walker! 5+ stars. She does everything for my Minnie and we highly recommend her. She spends time with Minnie even when she is not up to walking (she is old). Emily also puts up with sometimes last minute schedule changes. Always available on chat. Sends great pictures. Minnie loves when she comes by and sits by the door waiting at times for her to walk her. Just all around a great great sitter.”
“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!”
“Maria and Luis were so kind. Great communication, very accomodating to my last-second changes, and my dogs love their new friends. I would book with them again- highly recommend Maria and Luis!”
“I am travel nurse and it can be hard to find consistent, reliable dog walking and Kayley was exactly that. She was so available and never had any issues. She is communicative and take care of your dog like they they are her own. My dog loved her. I would absolutely recommend Kayley.”
“Chynna took great care of my Junie while I was away. She followed all instructions, sent me lots of photos, and kept me informed on how Junie was doing on their walks. I will definitely be using Chynna again for any dog sitting needs!”
“Kacey was wonderful. Kacey sent pictures after each visit whichreally put my mind at ease. You can tell Kacey has a passion for animals and takes it seriously. Tiva was in great hands with Kacey. Highly recommended.”
“Rachel has been absolutely wonderful with my two dogs, Oliver and Mabel. Oliver is my 11-year-old senior, and Mabel is a brand- new puppy, so their needs are very different- and Rachel handles both of them with so much care. She is incredibly communicative, always gives great updates and photos. She’s been walking them weekly for a while now, and both dogs get so excited for her visits. Knowing they’re in such good hands while I am working gives me so much peace of mind. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!”

“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.”
“My pup Lily absolutely loved VA and enjoys their time spent on walks. She is a very energetic dog and can be dog/leash aggressive and VA was great with handling her. Would definitely recommend using her services!”
“Heather was awesome for the 30 min walk I arranged. She was right on time, has great communication, and pleasantly easy to work with. Even though my pup didn’t wanna go on the full 30 min walk, she stayed and hung out with him for the remaining 10 minutes instead of leaving early which was very appreciated! 10/10 would recommend and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future!”
About: I have two dogs of my own one of which I trained to be my personal service dog. My second dog we originally were fostering and we adopted her because she fit into our family perfectly and became our other pups best friend. I actively foster puppies and kittens. I’ve done crate training and all the potty scaries with puppies. I’m extremely patient with them and try to meet each dog where they are at. I have experience giving medications to pets as one of my cats has to have daily oral medication. I love my pets and would treat yours as if they were my own 🖤 I have a very flexible schedule and I’m on the road and I have free time during the day and evenings where I am able to fit pet care-sitting into my schedule. I’m a very attentive pet parent myself and don’t typically leave my own dog unattended outside in the yard and I try to be very interactive and engage so they can play. I have 3 cats and enjoy playing with them and spending time with them so they feel cared for.
