“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I was nervous about using a service from online and selecting a prover who I was not familiar with. Jay has changed my mind. Her welcome and warm of compassion for my 25 week old pup was so felt. She updated me each day with video and photos of my pup. He looked like he was at home. That really give peace to my heart and I was able to enjoy my mini vacation without fear of him getting abuse. I would use her again and would refer her to other animal lovers. Thank you Jay, my family and ChuckBrown appreciate your love.”
“Shay and Jake were super awesome to work with! This was our first time using Rover, and our dog loved it! They took great care of him, and were really good about sending thorough updates each day. We would definitely recommend them!”
“Great hosts! They were very accommodating and had a lovely home for Eddie. I also really appreciated the check in photos and videos to see that my dog was happy and safe. I will definitely book with them again”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“This family was amazing. They met me and my dog at the car, showed us around and took time for both of us to be comfortable. The loving family environment was exactly what I hoped to feel. Amy sent pictures or videos daily and kept up with his medication. I enthusiastically recommend them to anyone who wants to feel peace while you're away knowing your fur baby is being cared for as you would do.”
“Matt is always our go-to sitter to watch our dog, Marlowe. He is reliable, communicates quickly and we know our dog is in fantastic hands. It our dogs home away from home.”
“Jonathan was an excellent host and great communicator during our dog's stay. He worked hard to ensure she was comfortable in a new environment and gave frequent updates while we were traveling out of state. Love the convenient location near the Richmond airport!”
“I couldn't be happier with Stacey and the way she cared for my Gonzo. I am always apprehensive leaving Gonzo with someone new, and I've never left him with a sitter who had dogs bigger than he is. But Stacey just loved on Gonzo and made him feel safe and comfortable in her home. He had full access to her huge fenced in yard, a private room for when he wanted alone time, and he spent most of the day on Stacey's heels, or cuddled up next to her on the sofa. Stacey keep me posted daily with photos and little tidbits of info that made me feel comfortable that he was doing just fine for the 4 days we were away. The thing that impressed me most was that on the day we arrived to pick Gonzo up and take him home, while we were packing up his belongings, he leaped up onto Stacey's lap. Clearly, he was very comfortable with her! I highly recommend Stacey and we will definitely use her again.”
“Abby saved the day for us, she welcomed our fur baby in with open arms and even though he can be quite a handful she held her own! I would highly recommend Abby to anyone who wants a personal touch with the right amount of professionalism. Abby knew what she was doing and put any apprehensions we may had completely to rest! If I could rate her higher than 5 stars I would - looking forward to using her services in the future. Thank you!!!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kendra did an amazing job watching my fur baby Rylo! She kept me updated throughout his stay with plenty of pictures and messages, which truly put my mind at ease while I was away and showed how much fun he was having. It was clear he was well cared for and loved. To top it all off, she even sent him home with a sweet gift 🥹💖. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter! I will definitely be booking again for future stays.”
“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!!”
“Yolanda was wonderful to our 7 month old puppy, Bootsie! She watched her for a week while we were on vacation and even gave Bootsie her medication for us, too. She followed all of our instructions and was super kind and caring. I would definitely recommend Yolanda!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She was excellent with the communication and pictures and I felt so good to see my dog happy while I was out of town taking care of business. Melissa will forever be my dog sitter for my pup.”
“Aaren & Jordon were the absolute best!! Our pup is a nervous / shy girlie, but she warmed up to them about immediately!! ❤️ She stayed for a long weekend while we were out of town. Aaren sent us photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond taking our girlie on runs / walks all around town!! She has been so sleepy ever since she got home and can tell she had the best time!! Will absolutely be using Aaren and Jordon for all of our upcoming trips. Can’t thank you enough! ❤️❤️”
About: For the last 5 years, I've been volunteering care for a herd of goats on Gillie's Creek Park. I am also the primary farm sitter for several friends' homesteads and a frequent pet sitter for friends and acquaintances. I have a broad range of experience: handling elderly animal care, newborn feeding/monitoring, pet anxiety, unique medication/feeding schedules, and general care for most farm/domesticated animals. I have a deep love for animals and their welfare with a desire to assist you and your pet in any way possible. I'm currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. Typically not away from home for more than 3 hours at a time during marked available hours. My schedule can be adjustable if coordinating in advance. If caring in your home, I ensure that all items are back where they were originally left and that all feeding bowls and areas accessed are cleaned and organized. My home has a fenced-in yard, plenty of plants, natural lighting, and no other pets to contend for attention or food.
“We had an amazing experience boarding our dog with Deven and Tyreek from start to finish! They treated Riot just like their own; he was happy, comfortable and loved! Their communication was excellent, especially the frequent updates they sent with pictures and videos to show us how much fun Riot was having. We (Riot included) are grateful for the care they provided and would absolutely book them again in the future!!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs as long as I can remember and have had a significant part in their care for about 10 years. The last 4 years I’ve been the primary caregiver for my pets. Since I was a teenager I’ve been the designated pet and house sitter for friends and family! I currently work full time but work from home two days per week. My mornings before work and evenings after work are dedicated to the pups. If necessary I am able to take a long lunch for some extra pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard where my friendly pups love to play and a puppy proofed home. Pets are welcome anywhere people are allowed, including furniture. My 2 dachshunds are super outgoing with other dogs and can keep up with big dogs! In a client’s home I will take into account any of the house rules of the pet parents.
“Elijah took great care of my cats, and was super thorough in terms of keeping me informed. He gave great updates and was very responsive, and even cleaned up after one of my cats got sick. I’ll definitely book him again.”
About: Happy to play, cuddle, or just let them have a quiet place to settle. I have no problems taking care of your baby. While I'm newer to cats my partner has fostered kittens to elderly cats and is passing on their knowledge.
About: I have previously taken care of dogs, cats, and even a pet snake. I am someone that is reliable, communicative, and dependable. I will make sure that your animals are happy and healthy. I also have a pet rescue cat of my own and will treat your pet as if they were my own! I am currently off for the summer and have open availability. My schedule is very flexible through the end of August. Whatever works the best for you! As long as you leave detailed instructions, your animals should be in great hands. I am also very communicative and can send you updates when needed/wanted. I have a pet rescue cat of my own.
“Danielle did an excellent job with Otis, kept me updated with pics and videos from her visits. He's not always the quickest to warm up but seemed to take to her on her first visit! Came home to a happy, healthy boy. Would definitely book her to look after him again!”
About: Hi! I’m Kristy, and caring for animals has always been one of my favorite things. As both a dog and cat owner, I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your furry family members. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including senior pets and those with special medical needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special diets, and caring for pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or reassurance. Having cared for my own pets through health challenges, I’ve learned how important it is to be observant, reliable, and proactive. Before changing careers, I was a teacher, so being dependable, organized, and communicative comes naturally to me. I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, comforting presence around, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I can’t wait to get to know you and your furry family!
About: I have had many pets in my life ranging from dogs and cats, to turtles and parakeets. With this, I can promise I am used to all the different personalities pets can offer. Whether they are energetic or apathetic I can promise you your pet is in safe hands. I am currently on break from college and am doing this as a way to make some extra money. I also play semi-professional soccer in Richmond, Va so I schedule any dog care activities around any practices or games. As a pet owner myself, I can follow any special instructions that are required for your pet. Whether its giving medication, feeding instructions, walking habits, etc. I promise to prioritize your pets needs as if they were my own.
“Jasmine was great! She was not able to find my cat all of the time but she still sent pictures showing she was dropping in and tried very hard to catch my cat on camera. She even did the litter box even though I forgot to put that on the instructions.”
“Katie did a great job and I had no problem trusting her with my kitties. Very thorough with the visits and great at taking pictures of my boys. I plan to use her again in the future for sure!”
About: My daughter and I have been doing Rover together for years. This summer, she is home from school at UVA and excited to help out with additional tasks like dog walking and house sitting! We have both had dogs our entire lives, all sizes and life stages. We began Rover in 2019 after losing our 10 yr old black lab to diabetes, looking to keep our home lively. We are both excited to meet your pets and help out! I work from home and will be with your best friend all day long. I am up early for my morning walk and would love the company of your dog! I live in a great dog friendly community, we have lots of great green space and multiple dog parks within walking distance! Would happily spend the day with your dog at the dog park if that is a good place for them.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about Miguel and his wife! They took amazing care of my fur baby, Church, for the past three days, and the experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment we met, Miguel made sure that Church felt comfortable and safe, even introducing him to their own dog to help them get along. His understanding of dog language, especially with big dogs like mine, is truly impressive. Miguel and his wife are such pleasant, caring people. They kept me informed every step of the way, sending updates and even videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They’re incredibly accommodating, even fitting us in on short notice, which I really appreciated. Church came back home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. I could tell he had a great time because he’s been so content and relaxed. I’m beyond grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and the genuine care they showed my dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and amazing with dogs, Miguel and his wife are the best choice. Thank you both so much! How does that look?

About: Lifetime lover of furry animal friends - adopting my puggle and in turn, her puppy sister/bff the Norfolk Terrier were easily the two best decisions I ever made. You can rest assured that your doggies are safe, comfortable and pawtying down with me by their side. My girls have warm blankets waiting in the dryer when we come in from cold walks. I believe in going a few extra miles to truly spoil our fur ball angel nuggets bc why not? Being greeted by them when you walk through the door is the best thing ever and I have been caring for animals the majority of my life. This is the most rewarding, satisfying and not to mention FUN "job" of all time, pick me
“Deven and Tyreek took amazing care of Birdie! I could tell Birdie had a truly amazing time being boarded and always looked forward to returning to such a loving home! Will definitely book their services again if in the area.”
About: I’m the family pet sitter because not only do I follow their routine but I make sure my sweeties are loved and entertained. I’m a nursing assistant part time so I have loads of hospitality experience! I’m a nursing assistant part time I’m usually working weekends which makes me more available during the week to stop by or even sit and entertain your sweeties! I don’t have a fenced backyard and my pup is a little feisty so i’d prefer to come to them but that just allows your pup to stay in the comfort of their home and again I have experience with doing drop ins for plenty of my family & friends!
“Very genuine person, got down on brownie's level to engage with her, brownie was happy and well taken care off. Abby worked with me and my schedule, I am grateful that brownie has a home away from home”
“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!”

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.”
“Jeanette was great! She was able to accommodate Romeo in a very short time frame, and had to wake up early for the drop off. She kept me updated and Romeo loved her! Overall great experience.”

Dogs are family & their comfort & safety come first. I regularly pray over all pets in my care for their protection. Whether your baby needs medication, extra patience, or just lots of belly rubs, I’m here to provide. I’m confident with senior dogs, special needs pets, and all kinds of temperaments. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing that your fur child is in experienced, caring hands. I also do brushing, massages, baths & nail trims (upon request). Whether it is daytime or overnight, I would love for your baby to spend time with me & my family in our safe, calm, pet-friendly, fun, welcoming environment. Pets are family & they deserve nothing but the best love & care! Safety & care are top-priorities at the Pampered Pup Palace! I have a large fenced in yard and 2 fur babies of my own to keep your baby company (one small chihuahua-mix & one small senior cat). My dog-child makes the perfect play-buddy because he is a very silly, interactive & playful pup.
“My dog is pretty good about letting me know if she had a good daycare experience or not. She seemed very content when I picked her up! The second day, she was running to get to Asausha's. From the pictures, my dog looked very well cared for and spoiled! I'd highly recommend Asausha for your petcare needs.”

About: As a child, I had a small dog named Nike! She was the cutest little Shih Tzu. Having her at a young age taught me responsibility first and foremost, but it also taught me how to appreciate and be patient with animals. I have fond memories of walking her around the neighborhood, being sure she had food and plenty of water in her bowls, and running around with her outside! She also got ENDLESS cuddle time. She was my first best friend, and although she’s not here with me in my adult years, I’ve come to love and value ALL animals, from playful cats, to everyday animals like squirrels and birds, lol. I’m a college student, graduating in the fall next year, and I have many breaks where I’m home. When home, I am fully available everyday, anytime to care for pets!

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!!

“Great hosts! They were very accommodating and had a lovely home for Eddie. I also really appreciated the check in photos and videos to see that my dog was happy and safe. I will definitely book with them again”
“Matt is always our go-to sitter to watch our dog, Marlowe. He is reliable, communicates quickly and we know our dog is in fantastic hands. It our dogs home away from home.”
“Jonathan was an excellent host and great communicator during our dog's stay. He worked hard to ensure she was comfortable in a new environment and gave frequent updates while we were traveling out of state. Love the convenient location near the Richmond airport!”
“I couldn't be happier with Stacey and the way she cared for my Gonzo. I am always apprehensive leaving Gonzo with someone new, and I've never left him with a sitter who had dogs bigger than he is. But Stacey just loved on Gonzo and made him feel safe and comfortable in her home. He had full access to her huge fenced in yard, a private room for when he wanted alone time, and he spent most of the day on Stacey's heels, or cuddled up next to her on the sofa. Stacey keep me posted daily with photos and little tidbits of info that made me feel comfortable that he was doing just fine for the 4 days we were away. The thing that impressed me most was that on the day we arrived to pick Gonzo up and take him home, while we were packing up his belongings, he leaped up onto Stacey's lap. Clearly, he was very comfortable with her! I highly recommend Stacey and we will definitely use her again.”
“Abby saved the day for us, she welcomed our fur baby in with open arms and even though he can be quite a handful she held her own! I would highly recommend Abby to anyone who wants a personal touch with the right amount of professionalism. Abby knew what she was doing and put any apprehensions we may had completely to rest! If I could rate her higher than 5 stars I would - looking forward to using her services in the future. Thank you!!!!”
“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!!”
“Aaren & Jordon were the absolute best!! Our pup is a nervous / shy girlie, but she warmed up to them about immediately!! ❤️ She stayed for a long weekend while we were out of town. Aaren sent us photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond taking our girlie on runs / walks all around town!! She has been so sleepy ever since she got home and can tell she had the best time!! Will absolutely be using Aaren and Jordon for all of our upcoming trips. Can’t thank you enough! ❤️❤️”
About: For the last 5 years, I've been volunteering care for a herd of goats on Gillie's Creek Park. I am also the primary farm sitter for several friends' homesteads and a frequent pet sitter for friends and acquaintances. I have a broad range of experience: handling elderly animal care, newborn feeding/monitoring, pet anxiety, unique medication/feeding schedules, and general care for most farm/domesticated animals. I have a deep love for animals and their welfare with a desire to assist you and your pet in any way possible. I'm currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. Typically not away from home for more than 3 hours at a time during marked available hours. My schedule can be adjustable if coordinating in advance. If caring in your home, I ensure that all items are back where they were originally left and that all feeding bowls and areas accessed are cleaned and organized. My home has a fenced-in yard, plenty of plants, natural lighting, and no other pets to contend for attention or food.
“We had an amazing experience boarding our dog with Deven and Tyreek from start to finish! They treated Riot just like their own; he was happy, comfortable and loved! Their communication was excellent, especially the frequent updates they sent with pictures and videos to show us how much fun Riot was having. We (Riot included) are grateful for the care they provided and would absolutely book them again in the future!!”
“Super responsive to messages. Fantastic set up with huge fenced yard and large kennel area. Knew my pup was well cared for. Enjoyed pictures and she came home so tired so she clearly had a lot of fun! Used Rover in past and this is best yet! Will definitely be back!”
“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. ❤️”
“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!”
“I was able to enjoy a glorious long weekend because I knew my two dogs were happy and spoiled with Emily. Both my dogs (age 7 & 6) had NEVER been boarded or kenneled before, so I was nervous that they'd be anxious and upset, but they came home absolutely happy and contented after staying with her. She was kind enough to provide twice-daily feedback about their walks, sleep schedule, and general wellbeing, and that helped me relax and enjoy myself. My dogs sleep on the bed at home, and I chose Emily because she was going to be with them at night and because she has so many repeat customers; that tells me all I need to know! Emily is worth her weight in gold. Luka and Teddy had a safe and happy get-away of their own. Thanks so much, Emily!”
“Jesse has done a wonderful job taking care of my 7 year old Samoyed! He provides good photo updates, his dogs are friendly, and drop-off/pick-up is always easy. I would highly recommend, and look forward to using his services again in the future.”
“Candice is amazing!!! I don't have any human children and Daisy is my only Fur Baby so it's always extremely hard to leave her. Candice was so caring and welcoming, Daisy felt at ease almost immediately which provided a level of comfort and peace that I haven't experienced with any other sitter. The pictures and updates allowed me to further relax, especially considering how happy my baby looked. I highly recommend Candice and will definitely contact her first for all of my pet-sitting needs.”
“We were very pleased with the attention that Shannon and her family gave to Sierra. He is a very senior dog and needs a little extra loving and care. Shannon sent pictures every day and was careful to keep him cool during the hot July 4th weather. Her home is really nice and perfect for a large dog. Sierra really enjoyed Shannon's backyard. He didn't want to come home. We would recommend Shannon to anyone who want's a Rover sitter.”
