Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Aaren and Jordon are practically family now. This is the second time they have watched my girl and they take the BEST care of her. They love on her, make sure she is getting fresh air, and even take her on outings. I almost hesitated to write this review because I don’t want yall to know how great they are and then start taking all to spots - just kidding! I can’t be selfish! Everyone deserves to feel the peace I feel when my pup stays with them ❤️.”

I would definitely leave my pets with her again anytime!”

“Raye is the best! She was very responsive and kept me frequently updated. She took Hugo everywhere, the park, drive in cinema, on a hike. I think now I’ll have to level up my play game. Also, she was pretty flexible, my flight was canceled and that was very helpful.”

“Donetta was great with Graham! I was a little worried leaving him because I wasn’t sure how he would adjust being gone overnight without seeing me.

“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!”


“Ayme was great with our dog coconut. She made note of all of our dog’s needs and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. She had a nice time playing with Ayme’s dog and other dogs that were there. Definitely recommend Ayme and will use her services again.”

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”

“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”


“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!”

“Emily was a great sitter for our puppy. You could tell he enjoyed his experience of undivided attention. She took the best pictures so it felt like we were there with him. We were so thankful to go out knowing he was good. We will definitely book with her again.”


About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I genuinely see animals as family, and I believe they deserve the same love, patience, and attention we give our children. Friends know they can trust me with their pets, and I’ve cared for my best friend’s pug whenever she travels, making sure he feels loved, comfortable, and keeps his routine. My goal is to provide every pet with a safe, nurturing environment where they can feel happy and at home until they’re reunited with their family. Your pup will enjoy a calm, clean, and cozy home where they’ll be treated like part of the family. I work around a flexible schedule, allowing plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and rest throughout the day. My apartment community features a fenced dog park, and we’re surrounded by beautiful walking trails that are perfect for exercise and sniff adventures. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a peaceful place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As someone who naturally enjoys caring for both children and animals, creating a warm, loving environment comes easily to me. I’m patient, attentive, and believe every dog has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, lounging on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Michelle took good care of my pup. Her dog Milo is a sweetie. She has a nice yard for them to play in and my dog also enjoyed relaxing by her side on the couch.”

About: I've taken care of bunnies, cats, and dogs since I was little. I love animals and have always had a talent for connecting with them. I have cared for all ages and sizes of pets including administering medication and accommodating injuries. I have lots of time to spend with my furry animals given my flexible work schedule. I can provide midday walks at different times as my work allows for this flexibility. I am able to be present with the animals during the day. I treat all animals with love and care. I talk to them very warmly and gently, and I handle them with care and affection. They are my friends!
“Jordan was amazing! Kept us up to date with how the pup was doing and sent great photos. Put us at ease while we were working, especially because it was her first time in daycare.”

About: - I welcome your pet the way I would want my precious fur-children to be treated. Love, care, gentleness, kindness, attention to their needs, aware that they might be nervous and scared. I sleep with them if they want that. I spend hours on the couch cuddling with them and watching TV. Immaculate attention to their feeding, medication, and walking schedule. - I only host one family’s pets at a time. - I have two separate floors separated by a closing door and dog gates. My pets and your pet stay separated and will remain that way. A stay away from home is not necessarily the time to for your dog to be exposed to the stress of new animals. - My yard is fenced in well enough for small to medium dogs. - I host dogs up to 25 pounds. Feel free to contact me if your dog weighs more than that. Calm dogs and senior dogs that weigh more than 25 pounds will probably do well in my home. - I focus on daycare and boarding in my home. - Guest dogs stay in my first floor tv room/playroom which has immediate access to the outside through the back door with no steps – great for senior dogs. They have the entire den to themselves, as well as a smaller cozy space (the downstairs office). - I have a dedicated cat bedroom: your cat will enjoy two cat trees and a view of beautiful trees, birds, and sunshine. DETAILS: I am a Richmond Public Schools teacher and a musician. A lifelong dog owner, I am the proud mama to rescue pups Bentley and Bo (my angel dog in heaven). I also have two charming, funny, and delightful cats — Gwen and Cricket. I live in a two-story, four-bedroom home with a fenced-in backyard near Westover Hills, Redd Elementary School, Lucille Brown, and Chippenham Hospital. We are close to a couple of dog parks, including Barker Field, and within a few miles of the VMFA, with plenty of green spaces to walk and relax in the fresh air. If you like, I’m happy to take your dog to Barker Field, where I will monitor your pup closely for safety. I have a large fenced backyard for safe, frequent potty breaks. Your pup will truly be cared for like my very own. Because I am a teacher, my summers are wide open for long walks, backyard playtime, cuddles on the couch, and plenty of one-on-one attention for your pets throughout the day. During the summer, I spend most of my days at home catching up on spring cleaning, gardening, yardwork, reading, and chatting on the phone. Your pet will have human companionship for most of the day, except for occasional grocery shopping and errands. I love ALL dogs and will treat your sweet one like my own. Dogs are precious to me. Boarding dogs will have non-stop loving, cuddling, and affection. If your dog prefers to sleep alone, they can choose from two guest bedrooms with lots of comfy hiding places as well as multiple dog beds scattered throughout my home. My 1/4 acre yard is fenced in well enough for small and medium dogs. Your dog will enjoy hanging out with me while I garden or read on a blanket in the backyard, sniffing all the new smells.
“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. :)”


About: Hi! 🐾 I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years, from my family dogs growing up to my own 13-year-old mini poodle, Soy. I’ve cared for dogs from 10 to 65 lbs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels and needs. Soy has been with me for most of my adult life, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I’ll care for yours the way I’d want someone to care for her, with lots of love, attention and respect for their usual routine. ❤️ I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day for company, walks, playtime and regular potty breaks. Our home is generally calm and relaxed, and Soy is friendly and enjoys having other animals around. 🏡 I also have a 3-year-old who absolutely loves animals and has already been my little helper with several dogs and cats. She’s gentle and comfortable around pets, so I’m only able to welcome animals who are comfortable and safe around young children. 🐶👧🏻 I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter for years and have experience with dogs of many sizes and temperaments. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime or curling up nearby while I work, I want them to feel loved and at home while you’re away. 🐾
“Highly recommend. I was visiting Richmond from out of town and was so grateful for the care and consideration Mindy gave me and my fur-baby. Very appreciative for the way she handled my apprehension, as I was a first time Rover user, showing genuine concern and compassion. Her communication before, during and after the appointment was excellent. She went above that to meet me at a coffee shop to sit and chat before picking up and taking my girl for a walk. She sent me pictures during and after the visit too! Thank you, Mindy - I hope you haven't spoiled us!”

“Deanna was friendly and caring, sent pics and video of our little guy. He seemed to have a good day hanging with her and her dogs. Her dogs are sweet and playful. Will definitely be back!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have cared for dogs and cats since I was 12. I moved to Richmond a few months ago to begin graduate school, but because my roommate is allergic to dogs, I had to leave my own dogs with my parents. I also have experience working at a doggie daycare, where I cared for dogs with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I miss spending time with them dearly, so I would love the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own. It would be a privilege to give your furry family member the same care, attention, and affection I give my own animals. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I can plan walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around my classes and schoolwork, giving each pet the attention they deserve. I also enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs on walks would fit naturally into my routine. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. Because my roommate is allergic to dogs, I’m unable to provide pet-care services in my own home. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any other parts of your pet’s usual routine. I’ll treat your home respectfully, give your pet plenty of attention and affection, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your loved one is safe and well cared for.
“This was our first time using a dog walker and Lila was beyond great! She was so open to a meet and greet to begin with and was able to spend some time with our dog while we weren’t home. The updates through Rover were so helpful and kept our minds at ease! Lila even included a bunch of photos each day! We can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve been watching both cats and dogs for friends and neighbors for a few years now, and now that I have more flexibility in my schedule I would love to provide my services to others! I work fully remotely and have a ton of flexibility to take care of your pets! If i’m not on vacation, i’m usually free to help :) I live in an apartment with my two-year-old chihuahua mix, Archie! Plenty of opportunities to run around the fenced dog area or ride over to a trail or park for more activity. If i’m dropping in, i’m happy to do whatever activities your pet loves and keep their routine going!
About: I've always loved all animals, dogs and cats alike! I grew up in a household where both were present and well loved and taken care of. This is where I learned that I would always have a passion for giving animals their best lives and making them the happiest they can be. I am very confident that your fur baby will be taken care of and given lotttts of pets and love :) I am currently a part time college student as well as working part time. I like to do Rover requests whenever I have free time! I will pay great attention to detail to make sure that all specificities are accounted for in order to keep all animals safe and well tended to!
“I love booking Sydney as a repeat walker for my little dog! She’s been flexible and reliable and I will definitely book her services again in the future. My dog was so excited to see her again!”

“Devinder has helped us a couple of times while we were on vacation. He is reliable and I feel that my doggies are well care for while I am away.”

“Nicole does such a great job with my baby. On days when it’s too hot she still makes sure he goes out and gets playtime and love. I absolutely love that she takes multiple pics to show what they’ve been up to. Pork Chop enjoys her visits so much”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life and have always had pets since I was a kid. I’m really friendly with my friends’ pets and sometimes I’m more excited to see their pets than them😂. I’ve watched over some of my friends’ pets from time to time (cats and dogs). I have experience with both small dogs and large dogs as my one dog is a miniature dachshund, and my other is a Great Dane/German Shepherd Mix. I’m in college but I have fairly big gaps in between my classes so I have time to care for pets whether it’s a walk, visit, to play, etc. I’m fairly perceptive of pet moods and, especially with cats, can tell when pets wanna be left alone or want to play. My pets all have different personalities so I can adapt fairly well to different personalities. I let pets out regularly and am down to play if they’re bored.
“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”

“Tyson is a natural to this type of work. He was very interested in both dogs, punctual at all times, overcame a big snow dump, and was most pleasant to work with. I cannot recommend him more highly. We hope to engage the services through you in the future.”

“Nina is an incredibly kind and reliable sitter! She has walked my dog Winnie for the past year and it has been lovely to work with her. Winnie always enjoys her walks with Nina!”


About: I have a deep love for all animals! As a pet foster mom, and a mom of 2 cats and high medical needs dog, I feel confident that I can give your fur baby the best care! I am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, dogs with special needs, cats and larger breed animals. I will treat your baby like my own❤️ As a summer school teacher, I am available for early morning visits, and visits starting at 3 PM! Friday through Sunday I am available at any time. Feel free to message me to confirm times and dates for your furry friends :) I am experienced with handling all temperaments of dogs and cats, and will make sure to follow your directions exactly! Safety and love is my top priority for all animals.
About: I moved to Richmond about a year ago, which meant leaving my two pups back home with their dad. As rural, born-and-bred dogs, city life just wasn’t the right fit for them. So now, I’m filling that gap by spending time with other people’s furry friends! I’ve become the go-to dog walker for my neighbors, and I genuinely love it—it gives me my weekly dose of wagging tails and happy walks. I’d love the chance to walk your dog and give them the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Pet care is something I’ve naturally built into my weekly routine. Since moving to Richmond about a year ago and leaving my two dogs back home, I’ve really missed that daily connection with animals. Walking dogs has been the perfect way to stay active while still getting that time with furry companions. I regularly walk dogs for my neighbors, so I’m already used to planning my schedule around consistent walks and giving each dog dedicated attention. It’s something I genuinely look forward to each week—it doesn’t feel like a task, but more like a highlight of my day. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to fit walks into my routine in a way that works best for both you and your pup. I will provide attentive, personalized care based on each pets routine and personality, whether I’m in my client’s home or caring for them on a walk. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision, while sticking closely to any instructions the owner provides regarding feeding, leash use, or behavior preferences.
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from puppies to senior dogs and even very large breeds. I worked at Dulles Pet Hotel & Daycare, where I provided attentive care, maintained clean and safe environments, administered medications, and monitored the health and behavior of all pets in my care. Beyond professional experience, I have been dog-sitting for multiple families throughout high school and continue to do so while in college, providing everything from walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and administering medications. I love pet sitting because I strive to give the best care, I provide the type of pet care I would want my puppy to have. (and I love my dog with my whole heart, she’s my baby)I also have my own dog, which has given me daily hands-on experience with training, care, and attention. I also love love love big dogs, I used to have a Mastiff growing up which made me fall in love with dogs! In addition to my pet care skills, I worked as a sales associate at Good Dog Rocky, where I built strong relationships and developed trustworthiness and reliability—qualities I bring to caring for every pet. I will take care of your dog like it’s my own, and you can expect nothing short of the best care from me, ensuring your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I’m currently a college student at VCU studying Economics and Statistics. My class schedule is fairly light, which gives me plenty of flexible time to walk, play with, and care for a furry friend throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on your dog’s needs. I currently live on campus in a dorm room, but back at home, we take excellent care of our puppy! She has a spacious playpen where she can run, play, sleep, and do whatever her heart desires. I bring the same love, attention, and care to every dog I look after in their home!

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!

About: I believe pets deserve to feel just as loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away as they do at home. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic dog, a shy pet, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and care. I’m happy to keep up with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little routines that help your pet feel comfortable. Communication is also important to me. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting plenty of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for animals throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of cuddles. When caring for a pet, I make their routine a priority. I’m happy to follow their normal schedule and keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. I also make time for regular updates and photos so their owners know how they’re doing. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and opportunities to relax. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routines so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their familiar environment and stick closely to their routine. I’ll make sure they’re fed, exercised, given plenty of attention, and have everything they need. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, including puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience and care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and keep their owner updated with photos and messages along the way.
“I was having a rough time finding a sitter in time for my trip and she was perfect for my dog. She sent lots of pictures and my dog got to spend time with other dogs all day and play. She seemed very happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her :)”


About: I frequently dogsit for friends and family, and I've had my soul-dog for 5 years! She's a rescue shepherd-husky mix and has taught me SO much about training and caring for a smart, high-energy dog! She's entering her senior years and has slowed down a lot, which means I have more time in my day to care for other pups, whether it's a check-in, walk, or boarding in my home. I have a fenced front and back yard, and with my location in Church Hill, there are countless places to walk and explore. I currently work from home 95% of the time! The other 5% is a mix of working at coffee shops and going in to my work's coworking space, but I'm never away from home for more than 8 hours a day. My days are very flexible and I'm happy to work around you and your pup's schedule! I have a fenced front yard that is grassy and a shady, fenced back patio/yard that pups can run around in. I only take 1 boarding or day-care client at a time, so your dog gets my full attention (alongside my pup!). Your dog must be friendly around other dogs for boarding or day care.
“Lila was very accommodating for my dog and her needs. Set up a meet and greet to make sure they were a good fit and everything went well. Lila was great about communication and sent me updates and pictures while I was gone. Definitely recommend as a caring petsitter!”
“Nicole was great! She communicated very well and had a very fast response time. She allowed me to book my pup super last minute and was very sweet and understanding. She sent photos of bear while I was away as well. She was very sweet over all, and I would definitely book her again.”
