“Jennifer took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She communicated with me every day and sent photos. Before drop off, she called and told me about the environment at her house and asked some questions, which was reassuring. She treated our dog like he was one of her family members. He came home happy and tired, and he made friends with some other pups. We would definitely use Jennifer again as a dogsitter. Thanks!”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾
About: I have been taking care of and walking dogs of all kinds since I was 14. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and understand the responsibility of caring for an adult dog and a puppy. I have also worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility, as well as a local dog trainer where I was responsible for feeding, medicating, exercising, and playing with dogs of all sizes and ages. I take my job seriously and will care for your pet like it is my own! I'm working full time currently so I am not available for mid-day drop ins, but would love to spend extra time in the morning and evening with your pet! I normally walk my dogs after work, and would love to fit your pet into my schedule! I do not take dogs into my home because I already have too many! However, I will follow your instructions closely to ensure that your pet gets the care it needs. I am open to all types of dogs and have experience with crate training, leash training, and basic obedience training.
“Rochelle absolutely exceeded all my expectations. I received so many lovely updates while I was away, and she communicated with me about everything. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit uncertain, but it was such a wonderful experience. We will most definitely be working with Rochelle again, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and currently care for my special needs cat, who needs extra attention, patience, and medical support. I understand the boundaries many cats require and know that some simply need a little extra TLC while you’re away. I’m comfortable providing daily care, including administering oral medication and helping with shots if needed. I’m calm, confident, and fully prepared to give your cat the routine care and respect they deserve. Thanks so much for considering me! I’d love to help your cat feel safe and cared for in your absence.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was the age of six and I have a great way and love with them . My schedule varies weekly as I have a college retention student job and I get off pretty late but I’m very flexible. I can always work around getting your pet taken care of! I care for them with love and with their necessities as needed on a daily bases whether it’s taking them out for a walk twice a day or feeding them twice a day as well or any extra care like giving them their meds as needed as well.
“Noah was absolutely awesome with my puppy Bandit, he was communicative and sent me pictures of my fur baby throughout each visit, which I really appreciate! He was super professional and very kind! Would definitely recommend if you want to be sure your pet is in good hands!”
“Victoria was wonderful in taking care of the kittens! She was on time everyday and sent wonderful updates of the babes. They were well loved and cared for we are so grateful!”
About: What sets me apart is my steady, attentive approach to caring for cats. I’ve been caring for cats for about 26 years, including having my own cats and taking in a cat I found on the street, whom I cared for for over 10 years. I understand and respect feline routines and know that trust takes time. I let cats warm up at their own pace and never force interaction. If a cat enjoys play, I’m happy to engage with them on their terms, and if they prefer space, I respect that too. I’m comfortable caring for shy, independent, or grumpy cats 😊. Alongside cat care, I have professional caregiving experience that required patience, attentiveness, and following detailed care instructions. That background shows up in how I care for cats. I’m observant, reliable, and calm, and I take pride in maintaining clean litter boxes and a peaceful, well-kept environment.
About: Hi! I'm Reis, a dependable and active animal lover with both professional and personal pet care experience. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility where I supervised doggie daycare, monitored group play, and helped ensure dogs stayed safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. This experience taught me how to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight house-sitting and pet-sitting services, caring for pets in their own homes and maintaining their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. As someone with an active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a weekend sitter, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently work a part-time job that allows me to have a lot of flexibility. I am able to work in all of Richmond and surrounding areas as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Through my experience working at a dog daycare facility, overnight house-sitting, and caring for both a senior dog and a young dog of my own, I've learned that every pet has different needs and energy levels. Whether your pet prefers a relaxed walk and extra patience or lots of activity and play, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: I have always had a large pet family. I have watched family, friends, and neighbors animals since a young age. I have watched inside and outside cats with experience in older cats and bottle fed kittens.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them has been like second nature to me. I hold a degree in Animal Science and currently work with a veterinary practice which has given me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether is playtime, walks, cuddles, or administering meds, I’m confident in providing the same level of love and attention that I give my own pets. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’m a healthcare worker who loves pets! We had 2 Shetland sheepdogs growing up. I have raised 2 chihuahua puppies, and one needed multiple eye surgeries and follow up care. I have consistently sat for and walked friends dogs (multiple at a time). I have taken in a neighbors cats for months after an emergent situation, and my family members have cats a well. No pet too big or too small! I love them all :) I am currently working part time 2-4 days a week so I will have a lot of time to care for your pets! On my off days I’m available any time, especially day time. I can meet your pet care needs! At home we have an open field but also a fenced in area and two small dogs which can play or be separate. I can follow your schedule as far as potty and walks and am able to walk long distances and play! I know some kiddos can be picky eaters like mine so I will happily embrace your pets quirks! No request is too strange and I will not have any problem respecting you or your pets routine.
“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”
“Rachael watched our fur babies doing our wedding and honeymoon and it was one less thing for me to worry about! I knew they were in great hands and got sweet pictures everyday!”
About: I have personal experience caring for cats with special medical needs, including giving oral medication and using an inhaler for asthma. I’m gentle, observant, and always patient with shy or anxious cats. Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved.

She took such excellent care of Runa, keeping her actively engaged in various activities as well as keeping me posted throughout the day. Runa is home now and sleeping like a rock. Couldn’t recommend Jasmine more.”

About: I love and care for any and all animals except cats bc I am allergic:( I do have more experience with dogs!! Please reach out! I am currently a freshman full time student at Umw, I am willing to do days and nights, but need flexibility with my classes :) I handle any and all pets in my responsibility with care! I take walks, throw a ball, or just snuggle away with your fur babies!
“Alice did amazing with my 2 dogs! She came for a meet & greet the day before which helped me feel more comfortable with the walk. She sent photos and kept me informed on how my dogs were doing! I would suggest her to anybody looking for a reliable sitter for their dogs.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—seriously, rabbits to goats, and everything in between. Right now I care for dogs, chickens, rabbits, and a cat, and I also have experience pet sitting for families from when I was in high school. In my 20s, I’m excited to help other animal owners get to enjoy a vacation or even a little break like a date night, without having to worry. My love for animals really shows, and I’m totally comfortable with both big dogs and smaller ones—I’m happy to care for every breed. I’m willing to have animals stay at my home, but they absolutely need to be comfortable around other animals. I can also drive to your place and stay at your home if that’s what you prefer. I work from home, so I’m available as often as you need me, and if you need me to stay overnight to watch your furry friend, I can definitely arrange that. With all that said, I’m excited to help in any way I can—because I genuinely love what I do! I’m currently working from home as a Sales Executive at a HR company. I take my pups out every 2 hours for potty breaks and to throw the ball for my very active GSD dog. I get off around 5:30PM M-F. So if you need me to stay at your home to watch your pets while I work throughout the day- that’s no problem! Or I can most definitely take breaks throughout the day to come take your animal out and/or just give some snuggles! I am free on the weekends and can make really anything work. Just give me a time and place and I’ll be there! I have a huge back yard and plenty of space for your dog to run around! It is not fenced, so must have good recall or I can just walk them on a leash. If your dog is coming over to my house they must be good with other animals. I have a male Belgian tervuren (fixed) who’s pretty shy at first, but warms up quickly and would love a play buddy! And then I have a male Dachshund (fixed) who sleeps all day. I do crate my dogs while I’m away, and they can be crated just to give your pet some space to decompress. My cat is in a separate room so she will be away as well.
“Janie made me feel at ease while on my vacation. She walked and played fetch with my dogs. I have two very large German shepherds (very friendly) and she was not intimidated and handled them like a pro. She also checked in on my other animals even though she didn't have too.”

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I love all breeds. I enjoy getting dogs to play and do tricks for treats. My family and I enjoy making your pet family. Sleeping cuddling and lots of attention is what they get while here. Most dogs don't want to leave when they come. I have several repeat dogs and they get out of the car and run to the house. Where they have an abundance of toys bones and beds to relax on. I believe the dog should be on your schedule so I do my best with that. Huge yard provides safe exercise time. Sunbathing an added bonus. I will even bathe your pup upon request. So don't stress and let me take care of the rest. I currently do this part time. Around working as a waitress part time. I'm available every 4 to 6 hours for pet care. I love this job. I have crates and plenty of space to separate if needed. I have filtered water. Treats of all types.

About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.
“It was a pleasure to meet Morgan. Obi and Luna just love her and I’m very comfortable with her taking care of my furbabies. Morgan will definitely be a part of our “doggy care team”.”
“We had a great walk yesterday. Rochelle was great. She walked Prince and handled him very well. She also learned some of our walking routes as well as side streets of Ashland.”
“Wesley was fantastic with our pups! Working 12hr shifts it can be challenging to find someone to check on and walk my two mini poodles, so I am very thankful Wesley was able to make time for them! Wesley also took the time amidst a busy schedule to meet the fur family which really helped😊🫶🙌”
About: As a teenager, I started my pet siting experience with friends and family. Now, as an adult I want to continue to fill that need. I currently work full-time during the week. So I can do pet care on weekends your away for Vacation, Anniversary, Wedding or etc. I am Flexible I follow whatever routine you have. As a pet owner myself, I understand they need to stick to their routine to feel comfortable and safe.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them has been like second nature to me. I hold a degree in Animal Science and currently work with a veterinary practice which has given me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether is playtime, walks, cuddles, or administering meds, I’m confident in providing the same level of love and attention that I give my own pets. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part time from Monday-Wednesday 8am-5pm. I’m available after work on those days and then anytime Thursday-Sunday. I’m pretty flexible and can help with whatever is needed. Just let me know! In your home, I care for your pets by keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort and I always make sure water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that they get plenty of love and exercise. I also treat your home with respect, leaving things neat and tidy so you can return worry free. I take pride in making everything go smoothly and stress free.

“Jennifer took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She communicated with me every day and sent photos. Before drop off, she called and told me about the environment at her house and asked some questions, which was reassuring. She treated our dog like he was one of her family members. He came home happy and tired, and he made friends with some other pups. We would definitely use Jennifer again as a dogsitter. Thanks!”
