“Leidy agreed to watch our German shepherd with a short notice and did an incredible job! Send frequent updates and pictures which we love! Very grateful he was in such good hands while we had to leave town!”
“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“Abby was great with my dogs. She kept me informed throughout the entire trip and was vigilant in keeping my dog with addisons disease healthy. She went above and beyond to ensure they had a good stay.”
“Kayce and her husband were great! She sent photo updates the entire time he was there and was super responsive as I checked in. Norman was very well taken care of. Thanks again guys!”
“This was my first time ever using Rover, and Amy and Grant made it such a great experience! They were absolutely amazing with my dog Oscar—super communicative, informative, and clearly very caring. I got regular updates and photos, and it looked like Oscar was having the best time. He came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I could tell they treated him like part of the family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Dylan provided extraordinary care for my girl Delilah. Delilah is a amazing dog well manner but likes her space. Dylan was very cautious and made sure she was comfortable. His communication was outstanding. I strongly believe we found a home away from home with Dylan. Very appreciative!!!”
“First time leaving our boy with Christine and Nick and we couldn't be more pleased with their services. Highly recommend this family. Tunde was well cared for during his stay. We received daily updates/pictures of him playing with their pups, going on walks, and being loved on by the family. The peace of mind that you receive when your fur baby is cared for so well is priceless.”
“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!!”
“Lucky and her husband were great with our two large dogs for over a week! We received daily updates, lots of pictures, and they even shared some doggy ice cream for Lucky’s dog’s birthday during their stay. Our dogs came home happy and healthy, but certainly didn’t want to leave Lucky’s house and all their new friends. We will be booking with Lucky again!”
“I had fantastic experience with Kendra B. She sent thoughtful daily updates about my dog’s routine, kept up with his walks and playtime, and made sure he finished his food. When I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—she even took him on a car ride he loved! It was a pleasant stress free experience that gave me real peace of mind. If you’re looking for a true home-away-from-home, I highly recommend Kendra B, and I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
“Kelsey took very good care of my doggie. She provided updates throughout the day and my lil doggie looked so calm and content. I would definitely recommend Kelsey. ☺️”
“Jay was truly amazing! My puppy is only 3 months, so I was really nervous about leaving him with a stranger. To my surprise, Jordan did very well while my family and I were away. Jay did so well with my boy that I have ceased his puppy training with a reputable pet store because he's mastered the skills with Jay.”
“Ari provided wonderful care at her home for our two good sized dogs aged 12 months and 4 1/2 years. They are back home happy and well-adjusted. Thank you Ari for all the love you and your family gave our dogs!”
“Ms Anika and her family was great taking care of Dog I thought it would be an issue but when I reached out to her she responded back and sent a video of my dog having fun I will definitely re-book with her in my next trip”
“Madelyn took excellent care of my dog Link and provided me with consistent updates so that I knew he was in good hands. I chose her to board him while I was away for the holidays, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to do the same. I could tell he was treated as if she was his own. Thank you!”
“Overall great experience!! Damacia was amazing I know for a fact that my pup was in great care. Communication was on point and I loved receiving photo updates while on vacation. I would definitely book again!”

“Indiana really helped me a lot when I was looking for a sitter. She got back to me practically immediately when I booked it and took exceptionally well care of my cat. Have me peace of mind while I was on my trip”
“Emily is always reliable and takes extra care with my girl. Cat was under the weather and Emily monitored her symptoms and communicated changes. Not to mention helped spot clean accidents. She even recommended things to help my senior kitty. She's the best!”
“Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing checking in on our cats while we were gone! She played with them, gave them scratches, and made them feel so loved! I will 10000% have Jessica watch my cats when I go out of town again!”
“Lauren, took care of Popcorn like he was her own. I felt comfortable letting her in my home when we were away and comfortable leaving Popcorn in her care. I usually use a kennel but Lauren and Rover has opened our eyes to other Pet Sitting options. We will hire her again if she will have us. We appreciate and Thank you Lauren!”
“Grace did a wonderful job dropping in on my cat Lotta while I was out of town. She was on-time every day, did everything I asked, and left the house just as she found it. She also provided updates and pictures after every visit, which I really appreciated. My cat was well cared for and I would have no hesitation in booking Grace again or recommending her to others.”
“Monique is such an awesome pet sitter!! She always sends pictures and my cats love her. She even brought my packages in for me when i was away. 100% recommend!”

“Trinity is awesome. She took care of my babies while I was on vacation for a week. She was on time and made sure they were well taken care of. Duke and Mustard love her. We had a tragedy while I was gone and she stepped in without hesitation and helped out with my Duke. I was so thankful and grateful that I was able to find her on the River app. I will definitely book her through Rover from now on.”
“Brenda cared for our cats as if they were her own! She was super friendly, offered meet and greets with our babies, and was responsive to communication! We look forward to booking with her again soon!”

About: As a lifelong cat lover and the current proud owner of two indoor cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep your feline friends happy, safe, and comfortable while you are away. Cats can be sensitive to change, and my experience allows me to respect their boundaries while ensuring they get the care they need, whether they are social or independent. I am highly adept at the essential, hands-on aspects of cat care, including scooping litter, cleaning up unexpected messes, and successfully administering oral pills or other medications without causing extra stress. I am available for daily drop-in visits to refresh food and water, clean the litter box, and provide plenty of play and affection so you can travel with total peace of mind.
About: I’ve been in the veterinary field for 3 years and I’m going to school to be a technician! I love helping animals and their owners. I’m currently working full time but can come over during lunch breaks and play with your animals or even go for a walk or play fetch! I can stay at your house or do walks a few times and day as well as feeding and giving medication if needed. I like playing with animals and making sure they’re having as much fun as possible while you’re away!
“Highly recommend Kayce!!!!! We used Kayce to house sit while watching our senior cat Morticia. Kayce was AMAZING. Best vibes. Mature, fun, open & honest, responsible and patient. Great communicator! She was wonderful with Morticia and sent pictures of their interactions. She respected our home as though her own. We will not hesitate to use her again for sitting the cat and/or house sitting.”

“It was my first time using the Rover app and first time for my puppy in a sitter. Kayce and her family was amazing!!! They take good care of Max while me and my kid's are away. Max had a blast during his stay, able to socialized with other dogs and kid's. I would definitely use Kayce again in the future. I would highly recommend her.”
“Alison took amazing care of my French Bulldog, J3, while I was at work. J3 can be a little particular—he loves attention, has specific routines, and can be sensitive to heat—but Alison followed all instructions perfectly and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like family, but Alison truly did. Thank you again for being so reliable, loving, and attentive with J3. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”
About: Hi my names Amadi. Thanks for taking a second to check out my profile! I have a little over 15 years of experience in training dogs, helping with socialization skills, and general caretaking. Currently I work from home, a light schedule as I’m testing to obtain another specialty license. In my daily life I used to foster dogs for a rescue. Most of my fosters came from very rough beginnings and had many social and/or anxiety issues but we have been able to overcome them💙 With that being said I totally understand how some dogs are unsure of new people and I’m 100% willing to take the time needed to get to know your fur baby. I do currently have an iguana in his own enclosure and I have extensive reptile knowledge and I’m willing to assist with those as well. I currently have a light schedule that I work from home, so I am available for a lot of pet care needs. I do frequent bathroom visits play, and meal time. I am 100% about safety first. I will not accept any new dogs that will put anyone else in jeopardy. Although I have experience in housing a large number of dogs from my time fostering out in Goochland, and my time working in a doggy daycare, I do not wish to take on a large number of dogs at any one time.
“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!”
“We had such a great experience with our sitter through the Rover app. She was incredibly accommodating and adjusted seamlessly to our schedule, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the moment Tilley arrived, it was clear she genuinely cared for her like one of her own pets. She kept me updated, made sure Tilley was comfortable, and gave her so much love and attention during her stay. Her home had more than enough space for Tilley to feel relaxed and active, and I really appreciated how intentional she was about keeping her engaged with daily activities and playtime. Tilley came home happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed her time there. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Tilley again in the future.”
“Sabrina was extremely accommodating as I needed day care coverage extremely last minute. She allowed the my pup & her dogs to get comfortable with one another and sent me updates throughout the day without prompting. I truly appreciate her kindness and expertise and will definitely book with her again.”
“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!”
“Abreya is wonderful. Great communication, friendly, & flexible. Don’t hesitate to book her. We needed services early morning hours outside of her normal hours & she was able to do it. Communication was top notch. Definitely will be using her again & again. Thanks again Abreya.”
“Christine and Nick are absolutely incredible with our German Shepherd, Aurora. This was her first time staying away from home and socializing with other dogs, and they made her feel completely safe, loved, and part of the family. They followed her routine, handled her quirks with confidence and compassion, and kept us updated the entire time. Aurora always comes home exhausted, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such trustworthy and experienced sitters— Highly recommend!”
About: As a former teacher and parent, I bring a level of patience, structure, and attentiveness to dog care that closely mirrors what children need to feel safe, supported, and well-guided. I understand how important routine, consistency, and clear boundaries are—not just for behavior, but for overall well-being. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of my daily life. I have hands-on experience with multiple breeds and temperaments, including my own dogs: three Huskies, a Dalmatian, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This has given me a strong understanding of both high-energy and more sensitive breeds, and how to balance activity with proper rest. My home is run as a family-supported, professionally managed boarding environment. My husband, a veteran, is also present and supportive, adding an extra level of attentiveness and reliability to the care your dog receives. What truly sets me apart is the intentional structure I provide. Dogs in my care are guided through a balanced routine that includes play, socialization, rest, and calm time. This helps prevent overstimulation, anxiety, and unsafe behaviors. This type of environment doesn’t just keep dogs safe—it helps them build better habits. Dogs learn to settle, share space appropriately, and become more comfortable around other dogs in a controlled setting. For many dogs, this supports improvements in reactivity, socialization, and overall behavior, helping them become more confident and well-adjusted outside of the home. I strongly believe that dogs thrive when their needs are met through routine, rest, and structure. Just like people, they require downtime and sleep to stay balanced. A consistent schedule helps prevent stress and overstimulation, creating a calmer, happier experience. I have experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, but I am intentional about ensuring that each dog is a good fit for my environment, so I can maintain a safe, structured, and positive space for every dog in my care. Pet care is my full-time focus, and my daily schedule is built entirely around the dogs in my care. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, scheduled walks, outdoor play, and one-on-one attention. Dogs are cared for on a structured routine that includes activity, feeding, and designated rest periods to keep them balanced and comfortable. I’m able to maintain a calm, organized environment where dogs receive reliable care, attention, and structure every day. I provide care in a structured, well-managed home designed for safety, balance, and low stress. As an owner of 5 dogs, 3 different breeds who are trained, I know what dogs need to thrive, feel loved, and thrive socially. While dogs are treated with love and attention, this is not a free-roam environment. I operate a crate-structured system that allows each dog to rest, reset, and avoid overstimulation while also keeping all dogs safe. In my home: • Dogs are comfortably crate trained • Dogs are crated during rest periods, overnight, and when unsupervised • Dogs are rotated for safe, controlled interaction • Dogs are never left to freely roam together without supervision This setup allows me to safely care for multiple dogs while still providing individual attention and a calm atmosphere. For safety: • Dogs must be non-aggressive toward people and other dogs • No history of biting or unsafe behavior • Dogs must be able to remain calm when confined • Collar or harness is required at all times This environment is best suited for dogs who are used to structure, routine, and boundaries.
“Deven, Tyreek, and Ozzy have been an amazing addition to Tonka's village. They are responsive, caring, and bring lots of joy to my pups life. I appreciate them immensely!”
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!

About: What sets me apart is my calm, low-stress home where I host max 2 compatible dogs at once. Perfect for anxious, selective, or reactive pups who need peace over chaos. I also offer solo-stay pricing for dogs who need to block my second spot. My experience shines with senior dogs (gentle mobility support, meds) and high-energy mediums (structured play without overwhelming them). I work from home so I'm very flexible. I'm available during the day for walks/drop-ins/daycare, evenings/weekends for boarding. Dogs are family here; my routine revolves around their comfort. I don’t have any pets of my own currently. I have a nice size fenced yard and I love taking pups on long walks in my neighborhood or at the local dog park if possible. You can also book my backyard on Sniffspot!
“Lisa was an absolute gem of a dog sitter! Her bubbly personality immediately put both me and my dogs at ease. She was incredibly generous with her communication, sending me regular updates and photos of their daily adventures, which I truly appreciated. It was so clear from every interaction that she has a genuine love for canines. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”

About: I am very flexible with hours. I am an active person and happy to play with your pet and walk them as much as needed. I grew up in the cold, so weather doesn't bother me walking or driving. I also am willing to work with your hours and do what is best for your pet. I also am always happy to send pictures and check in so you know they are living your best life. I can be flexible but I am a morning person so early walks are okay with me. I can also drop in easily through the day with little issue. I grew up with large dogs (lover (100lbs) and 2 cats, and am the current owner of a Bernese Mountain dog who I love. I love all animals but tend to lean to bigger dogs. I like cats butdon't currently own one due to my husband. I am newer to rover but have spent a lot of time caring for my own pets but also dog sitting for others in their homes over the last 7 years.

“Max is wonderful! My energetic pup loved him , and he was needed after I had foot surgery and couldn’t walk the dog. I was home when Max came and went with my pup; he let me know each day when he was on his way, which was helpful. He was on time and reliable. I would definitely hire Max again. Thank you!”

About: I love all animals but I’m a dog lover through & through. Yes.. Even the stinky butt, stinky breath, so ugly that they’re cute, accident prone, jumper, barker, puller, escape artists, babies too. I was raised with 2 boxers who have made their way across the rainbow bridge. I raised a super mutt for 6 years who has also crossed over. I now have a Rottie mix who was adopted through Chesterfield Animal Shelter going on 4 years ago. She is, in addition to my human babies, my dog child. She is the best of friends with my kids. If you ask my oldest how many brothers and sisters he has, she is included in his total … 😂 I have 10+ years of experience walking/pet sitting neighbors, family and friends dogs but im in my second year of pet sitting full time. I can’t express enough the joy it has brought me. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors & everything in between of all sizes. I’m familiar with giving oral medication and have learned how to properly perform CPR on dogs. I fully understand & respect that each animal is different & has their own needs and personality. As well as their owners. This is why my care goes beyond maintaining. I’m full of patience and love & It’s important to me that i strive for comfortability. I have taken on pet sitting full time! My regular returning clients are a priority but i still have plenty of open room for new clients! I understand that for each pet, their wants and needs may vary. I am big on respecting what makes everyone the most comfortable and cared for. I strive to leave your pet feelings enriched and at ease by the end of my visit.

About: I’ve owned and cared for furry (scaled and feathered!) friends my whole life. From cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and bunnies, to fish and birds. I even have experience caring for sugar gliders and a ball python. I’ve worked as a pet uber (with a company called Leash) and volunteered at shelters, socializing events, and cat rescues for several years, so I’m used to interacting with all kinds of pet personalities and ages. From shy snugglers, to loyal guardians, to spunky characters, to goofy adventurers, I love them all! You can trust I will love on your baby and treat them with as much care as I do my own fur babies. My schedule is fairly flexible right now since my medical retirement from the Army in October. I’m currently working on an online M.S. in psych and substitute teaching in my boyfriend’s town (Clarksville, VA) whenever I’m available. Since it’s a long commute and I’m typically called the morning of, I try to keep Monday and Tuesday open to sub if needed. I am more than willing to do virtual and in person meet and greets to learn pet needs and routines. I prefer to meet in person to get acquainted with your pet while they feel safe in your presence (but I’ve never met a pet I didn’t click with and love immediately.) I’ll accept any additional written/typed outlines detailing your pets care if that’s easier than leaving notes in the app. You name it and I’ll do it; whatever is best for you and your fur baby. Dogs under my care will enjoy long walks and dog parks trips where applicable. If you have a puppy (or dog) in training, I love to partner in their learning using whatever commands you prefer. Kitties under my care will get lots of playtime with wands and lasers, as well as tons of snuggles.

“Abby was great with my dogs. She kept me informed throughout the entire trip and was vigilant in keeping my dog with addisons disease healthy. She went above and beyond to ensure they had a good stay.”
“Kayce and her husband were great! She sent photo updates the entire time he was there and was super responsive as I checked in. Norman was very well taken care of. Thanks again guys!”
“Dylan provided extraordinary care for my girl Delilah. Delilah is a amazing dog well manner but likes her space. Dylan was very cautious and made sure she was comfortable. His communication was outstanding. I strongly believe we found a home away from home with Dylan. Very appreciative!!!”
“First time leaving our boy with Christine and Nick and we couldn't be more pleased with their services. Highly recommend this family. Tunde was well cared for during his stay. We received daily updates/pictures of him playing with their pups, going on walks, and being loved on by the family. The peace of mind that you receive when your fur baby is cared for so well is priceless.”
“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!!”
“Lucky and her husband were great with our two large dogs for over a week! We received daily updates, lots of pictures, and they even shared some doggy ice cream for Lucky’s dog’s birthday during their stay. Our dogs came home happy and healthy, but certainly didn’t want to leave Lucky’s house and all their new friends. We will be booking with Lucky again!”
“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!”
“Ari provided wonderful care at her home for our two good sized dogs aged 12 months and 4 1/2 years. They are back home happy and well-adjusted. Thank you Ari for all the love you and your family gave our dogs!”
“Ms Anika and her family was great taking care of Dog I thought it would be an issue but when I reached out to her she responded back and sent a video of my dog having fun I will definitely re-book with her in my next trip”
“Beverley is amazing with our fur baby Ember! She gives updates to keep us at ease. Our puppy is comfortable there and warms right up as soon as she arrives. We’re so glad we found a trusted sitter through Rover and couldn’t be more pleased with her services. We will always rebook with her!”
“Elaine and Steven took wonderful care of our hyper Goldendoodle, no easy assignment given his energy levels. He came back to us better behaved, calmer, and better socialized. Elaine and Steven also took time to update us with photos and reports of our dog’s state of being. They have a wonderful, large property, with lots of room for dogs to explore. Thanks to Elaine and Steven, our dog had a better vacation than we did. I cannot recommend Elaine and Steven more enthusiastically.”
“Adam was an EXCELLECT sitter! You can tell he has the patience and passion to engage positively with your dog!!! Great customer service and communication! Would rebook again!”
“We were incredibly anxious to leave our Dharma puppy. She has never been without us since joining our family at 10 weeks. But we had to go out of town and Lisa was extremely communicative, she sent pictures, and reassured us every chance she got. We are really happy and highly recommend Lisa.”
“Myrna was great with my little guy! She gave updates the whole time I was away and helped with his anxiety while I was out of town. She made sure he had everything he needed and more! Thank you Myrna!!”
“Had a great experience working with Deven and Tyreek! They took great care of our dog and provided excellent daily updates. He looked very happy in all his pics!”
“Our older dog, Olive, had a great overnight stay at Matt’s. We always feel comfortable leaving her there and appreciate the twice-daily updates with pics.”
