“Destiny was reliable and did a great job. I will definitely hire her again!”

Susan W.

“Newish to RVA and first time using Rover. Alyssa was great with my 13yo kitty, Rizzo. She was professional, timely, and communicative. I loved receiving daily photos and updates while I was traveling. Knowing Alyssa was watching my baby gave me peace of mind. I would rebook Alyssa without hesitation!”

Brigitte K.

“Allyson is the best! I never worry about our dog when she is here!”

Dee K.

“Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.”

Ashley W.

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”

“Heather was so great with our dog, Ria, who is very high energy and was a huge help with her drop-in visits during an extremely busy week. On the longest day, she offered to came over twice and that was definitely best for our pup. She always has their best interest in mind and overall did a great job! We will definitely be booking her services in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my cat and dog. Both pets got played with, taken care of, etc. Taylor also took my last minute request (which was awesome). If I need to leave town again I'm planning ahead so Taylor is available!”

Michelle W.

“Madison is a wonderful pet sitter. She was punctual with every visit and very patient with my cat. I would absolutely recommend Madison for anyone looking for a sweet and caring pet sitter.”

Devon C.

“Jynette did a wonderful job with my four dogs. Everyone seemed content and happy. Highly recommend.”

Katrina S.

“Meghan is great!! She helped us out last minute and took great care of our pets. She was communicative, thorough, and most importantly, kind to our pets, & we could enjoy our time away without worrying how they were doing. Highly recommend :)”

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.

About: Owning an anxious or reactive dog can make finding care for them difficult and nerve racking. I know this firsthand as an owner of a reactive dog myself. You need someone who understands their unique challenges and quirks. My goal is to provide patient, low-stress care that helps your dog feel safe and allows you to travel with peace of mind. I'm a clinical psychologist by day and do this purely because I enjoy dogs. My background makes paying close attention to behavior and communication second nature to me. While I'm certainly not a dog trainer or veterinary professional, I pride myself on being patient, observant, and respectful of a dog's unique personality and boundaries. Whatever your dog's situation, I'll try to meet you both where you're at so that everyone feels comfortable and confident. I work full time so I focus my pet care services on evenings and weekends. This allows me to dedicate my full attention to your pet during the time we're together, whether that's an evening walk overnight care. I'll always be upfront about my availability, so you know your pet is getting my full attention. I always let anxious and reactive dogs get to know me on their terms. I won't pet, touch, or even talk to your pet until I have yours and their consent. I do my best to maintain your dog's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications (if applicable), playtime, and any training or behavior preferences. I understand that every dog is different, so I try to let them set the pace.

“Gabriel took great care of my cat, Nigel! He sent daily photos of my fur child and even took care of some other household needs as necessary while I was away. Wonderful first experience hiring a pet sitter on the app ☺️”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

About: I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover across my whole life. I have twenty years of experience, five of them professionally at Holiday Barn! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so fitting your pet care needs into my weekly routine is a breeze and a pleasure! It’s something I truly look forward to. I’m well educated on animal behavior and the dynamics to keep in mind when entering an animal’s home as a guest. I know how to foster a safe and respectful environment so that we can have a great time together.

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.

“We were very happy with the care and communication regarding our cat Cali. She took the time to play and brush her, which I know she loves. I would recommend Jasmine as well as use her in the future.”

Stephanie B.

“Kat was beyond amazing ! Was able to take care of our dogs short notice on a holiday weekend. Great communication and the pups had a great time. Will be rebooking in the future for sure!”

About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine. With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

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!
