“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”
“Matt did a fantastic job watching our dog who can be a bit of a handful at times. He took the time and care to make sure our dog had a great time.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are so grateful to have found Cyndi! She eased our minds right away by letting us visit for a meet and greet. She has a lovely home with an amazing backyard for our pup to explore. She is quick to respond to messages and gives thorough feedback with lots of photos each day. We could tell our pup was at ease during his stay and have already made another reservation with her. She is a calm presence that will love your pup and make the stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Cyndi!!”
“Amy provided exceptional care of my Bernedoodle, Iris, and kept me fully aware of how she was doing through text messages and photos. This was the first time my dog had ever been away from our family, so she had a bit of trouble acclimating to other dogs and a different environment, but Amy went above and beyond to care for her, and I so appreciated it! Thank you!”
“I felt very good about leaving my dog with Amanda. I was gone almost a whole week but because of all the pictures and texts it didn’t seem that long. Amanda will definitely be my go to sitter the next time I need one.”
“Wonderful experience. Emily and Abi took such good care of our CheChe! Communication was excellent and they made sure she had everything she needed to be healthy, happy and comfortable during her week-long stay.”
“We just moved to the area and Pamela and Paul watched our anxious dog Harley for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Harley did not show any of her typical anxiety cues and she had a great time at their home and with their sweet dog Marlowe. I highly recommend them as sitters and we look forward to more stays in the future.”
“Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!”
“We love Damacia, and so does our Onyx. She has taken care of him since he was a young puppy and has even provided insight/suggestions in things to add into his daily routine. He has grown a lot and LOVES her so much.”
“Oakley had a great time with Amy and her family. She gave special attention to his food so that he would eat while away from his family. He was happy when he got back. Would definitely consider Any when I'm going out of town again.”
“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!!!!!!”
“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!!”
“Carolina was amazing! She just watched my dog for the first time over a long weekend. I usually am hesitant leaving her with new people but she sent me plenty of updates right away and continued them throughout the stay. She walked them a ton, took them to run in a little park and gave Hazy even a nail trim because he nail was getting caught. I have nothing but good things to say and will be booking again for sure!”
“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my 5 year old Samoyed for a long weekend! Drop off and pick up were easy. I received photos through out his stay. Her dog Tank is a big sweetheart. My pup returned home happy and well cared for in my absence. Highly recommend her boarding services, and I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Hilary was an amazing sitter for my girl, she took her for runs, played extensively and even made time to always keep me informed. I would trust her again and again and really appreciate the peace of mind she offered while I was away. ❤️”

“Lee was extremely helpful taking a last minute booking when I had an emergency. Very responsive and thorough checkins each day I was away. Recommended!”
“I am never worried about my kitties when I know Harlee is coming to see them! She is prompt, responsible and great with our kitties! They love her!”
“We can't thank Anna enough for the amazing care she provided for our cat during our 9-day vacation. She was incredibly thorough, sending regular updates and adorable photos that gave us peace of mind. Not only did she make sure our little guy was well taken care of, but she also took the time to play with him and keep him happy. We highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Meghan was great with my cats. Even Beans, who hides from everyone but me, found himself rolling over for belly rubs from Meghan. Highly recommend her and would definitely request her services again!”
“Emili was AMAZING!! She took such amazing care of my two disabled cats. She asked all the important questions ahead of time and is so nice!! She sent lots of pictures and very thorough check ins! I get nervous leaving my cats, but felt great with Emili. I DEFINITELY recommend and will book with her again!”
“Erin was such a reliable and attentive cat sitter! I was relieved to see her details and specifics of the boys behavior with drop in visit notes. It helped me know my boys were in great hands. Thank you again Erin!!!!”
“Niely was so dependable and flexible to work with. I met her in person to drop off the key and knew I could trust her with my two cats and my apartment. During our vacation, she took photographer-like pictures of our cats and wrote great (and funny) summaries for each visit. She brought out a lot out of our shyest cat who with us barely played with anything and hid under the bed more than half the time. We looked forward to seeing the next Rover Card and sharing with our family while we were on a vacation.”
“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”
“Thane sent detailed notes of each visit along with photos. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to people but the two of them really seemed to hit it off! We’ll definitely be looking to book Thane again in the future.”
“Mary was a great sitter! A+ communication and super flexible as the winter weather and schedule changes changed our needs. I would recommend Mary and definitely use her 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!”
“Absolutely FABULOUS! I definitely do not regret my decision in picking Lyndsay as a sitter for my cat. She’s so qualified, and the fact that she is PA made my decision really easy as I knew she’d be comfortable giving my cat injections. She is so easy to talk to and above all you can tell she really cares about your pet. She is very good at communicating, and sending updates of how your pet is doing. When I picked up Bindi, she was happy to see me but I could definitely tell she’d been in a good place where she was being loved and taken care of. Will be booking with Lyndsay from now on! Could not be happier with my decision! Thanks so much Lyndsay! Will be in touch soon, Kathy McKean”
“Kallie was a great sitter. She was able to connect quickly with me when I had to go out of town last minute. Ragnar was well taken care of. Would recommend her to folks looking for a pet sitter and would use her again.”
“Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!”
“Maggie took such great care of my kittens while I was away! The transparent communication--pictures, updates, videos, etc. was FABULOUS! They were in great hands with her! AND I would very much recommend to anyone in the area looking for the same level of care!”
“Korri was awesome! She did drop in visits for our two cats while we were gone and she sent pictures daily. The cats really seemed to warm up to her so that relieving. She was super responsive and really made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I will definitely use her in the future and I highly recommend.”

“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!”
“Caroline is superb! Twix is always so excited to hangout with her, he jumps out of the car when he sees her home. She takes great care, sends lovely photos of him throughout the day and is very communicate and accommodating. Thanks Caroline 😊”
“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!”
“Julie was the absolute best! She was able to accommodate our travel schedule with no problem and gave Ziggy a very fun afternoon. We definitely recommend her for any pet stays!”
“Auggie had the best day with Celia and her pups! She took great care of him, and was very communicative! I know Auggie will love having another doggy daycare day there (he sees it as a play date!) in the future!”
“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.”
“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 have recently decided to pursue dog care full time and can’t wait to provide my services to the community! I am available for dog day care at my house, dog walks, and dog boarding at my place! I have a 5 year old Bernedoodle, Shep, who is very friendly and loves to meet new friends. I am available full time! I am not currently providing house sitting but am more than happy to have your dog stay at my house. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to play and am able to provide your dog with all of my attention throughout their time with me!
“Nina was caring, communicative, and kind! She gave our pup lots of exercise during daycare and he was so happy, sleepy, and content once we picked him up. Highly recommend :)”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I have been pet and house sitting for years, mostly just pitching in for friends who know how eager I am. My childhood dog lived until 16 and was my best friend. I was his primary caretaker, especially in his elder years. I have lived with many animals throughout my life and find caretaking to be something that comes naturally for. As a dog person, I never expected to grow into such a cat lover, but I am a fan of all creatures big and small. My best friend has a dog that I take care of anytime he needs it. He refers to me as her "dog aunt". I have a reasonably sized car and am open to making trips to the park/river, as well as going on walks around your neighborhood or providing whatever other companionship is needed for your animal. I currently work part-time as a Float Therapy Specialist. This keeps me somewhat occupied on the weekends, but I’d still say I have pretty open availability. Weekdays I am available after 1pm when I finish my massage training. I believe pets are like people in that they all have their own personalities and needs. My goal is to create a relationship with your animal so I can best suit their needs.
About: Hi! My name is Mikayla and I’m a recent college graduate looking to make some money before I start my full time job! I’ve taken care of my family dogs, neighbors pets, family friends dogs, fostered many dogs while in college and it’s easily one of my favorite things to do! I love meeting new dogs of all kinds and giving them love and belly rubs. I have experience taking care of dogs aged 2 - senior dogs around the age 15. I also am very good at taking care of blind, deaf, or disabled dogs as well. I recently graduated college so I have a lot of free time until I start my full time job in July! I am available every day of the week! I have a fenced in yard, bed crate, dog food, diapers, pet care supplies, toys, etc! I have all the items needed to take care of your dog in the best way possible.
“Susan is amazing and made our anxiety-inducing first drop off at doggie day care way easier! Easy communication and planning and she and her dog made mine feel right at home. Loved how many updates and pictures she sent us too! Our dog seemed happy and tired afterwards.”
About: I've had dogs (and a cat!) my whole life and love animals so much. We lost our pup Mickey, a couple years ago and we haven't been able to get another one due to travel. When I'm not on the road I would love if our family could host your sweet one. There will be no lack of snuggles and love. We have a fenced backyard and are located in Westhampton close to St Christophers' School. Your pup will be in great hands so you can enjoy your holiday. I currently work from home so I'll be available all day for your pups. With the exception of baseball we are around all weekend as well. I have a fenced yard as well as a super walkable neighborhood in Westhampton. I do not have a crate but comfortable doing that if you wouldn't mind bringing one.
“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”

“Deiandre was great. He was very communicative and gave detailed reports after every walk. It was such a relief knowing my sweet girl was in good hands while I was on a work trip.”
“Mallory is great with our two pups - one is reactive the other has an injury. She handled both with care. She also sent detailed notes and lots of pictures! Super appreciative we found her!”
“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”
“Shelby walked my dog daily for over a week while I was unable. She was always on time, responsible, friendly to my dog, and communicative. I recommend her as a dog walker.”
“Conrad stepped in at our late notice and took fantastic care of our two dogs! They were staying with a sitter who could not walk them, and Conrad came to the rescue with walking them for a full hour every day, reliably and on-time! He communicates really well, is really responsible, and clearly has experience with dogs. One of my dogs is also dog-reactive, and Conrad knew just how to manage any reactive signs on walks and keeps distance from other animals. He listens well to instructions and is just a great dude. I’m happily looking to making him our regular go-to pet sitter and walker whenever we need support!”
“Niely did a fantastic job looking after my elderly pup and cat. She gave lots of pictures and text updates, it felt great to know they were getting a lot of attention and love. Would recommend and will definitely use again!”
“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!”
“Jenna, she went above and beyond her duties as a dog walker. She was very kind to Trevor, who is kennel anxiety dog. That has been in Hanover County animal shelter for way too long so this beautiful vibrant, sweet sweet dog they decided to euthanize so I have been walking him so that he won’t have kennel. Anxiety and Jen was a wonderful part of this. thank you so much and a shout out to Jenna”
About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, including my own ball python. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd who can be very anxious, so I’m used to being patient with nervous pets and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve pet sat for animals of all different temperaments, including a cat with a more aggressive personality, so I understand the importance of respecting each animal’s boundaries and adapting to their individual needs. I love spending time outdoors and taking walks, and I know the Richmond area well. With two years of professional housekeeping experience, I’m comfortable caring for both pets and homes with the same level of respect and attention to detail I’d want for my own. My goal is to provide dependable care for both your pet and your home, while making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I work about 20 hours a week as an esthetician and make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Because I set my own hours, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I would love to fit pet care into my routine. I believe every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping up with their feeding schedule and any specific instructions you provide. For cats staying in my home, I’ll provide a calm, safe environment where they can settle in at their own pace. Having lived with multiple cats of various personalities, I understand that some cats are social while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to accommodate both! I will stay in regular communication, providing updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing!
“Mary came through in a pinch when I needed a last minute dog walker! I appreciate her quick response to my request and even timed the walk perfectly around the rain so that my guy would go outside! Thank you!”
About: I specialize in thoughtful, low-stress care for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy and selective. I take the time to understand each cat’s routine, preferences, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with multi-cat households, administering basic medications, and caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I treat your home and your cat with the same level of care I would expect for my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in calm, capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around visits, ensuring I’m always on time and able to provide consistent, attentive care. I’m intentional about not overbooking so each cat receives the time, attention, and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I prioritize being fully present and dependable. I focus on maintaining each cat’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and playtime or companionship based on your cat’s personality. I take the time to understand preferences — whether that’s interactive play, quiet company, or simply respecting their space. I’m attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite and will always communicate anything noteworthy. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping things clean and consistent. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing.
About: I have had pets my entire life and genuinely love spending time with all animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'm happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am a teacher who is home during the summer days and have a flexible schedule to help meet your needs. I'm a teacher who is home on summer break so I currently have flexible and open hours during the week day to meet the needs of you and your pet. As someone with an active lifestyle, I love getting outside for walks and play sessions, but I'm just as happy spending quiet time with pets who prefer cuddles and companionship. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your furry family member.
About: I’m a responsible and passionate professional hoping for a chance to spend quality time caring for your pets! I have cared for dogs my entire life, from an adorable shi tzu mix to a lovable deaf pit. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I’m also happy to assist you with collecting mail, watering plants, and running pet-related errands while you’re away. Need help with more than one furry friend? No problem! I am comfortable caring for up to three dogs at once. I also have extensive experience caring for cats with all types of personalities. I have my own transportation and can travel within Richmond city limits. Your pet deserves all of the care and special attention in the world - and you can trust me to provide just that! I’m a VCU instructor on summer break until August, so every day of the week is open for booking. I am happy to conduct two or three drop-ins or walks per day. As the proud parent of a neurotic dachshund mix, I understand that every pet has their unique needs! I will follow any instructions you provide and will send photos, videos, and any other updates you request.

It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.”
“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.”
