“Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: Hi my name is Vinny. I’m currently a nursing student who also works in a pediatric hospital part time and I love it. I used to dog sit in high school and took care of couple of dogs and cats over the course of a year. During that time, I really learned to love learning new routines and understanding how to keep the pets I care for as healthy and happy as possible. What sets me apart is that I’m great with pets with anxiety and larger pets.I’m a bigger guy myself so I can handle pets of any size from pups all the way up to Mastiffs, Grey hounds and Bernese’s. This love of learning about each pets unique qualities is what gives me the tools I need to help mitigate anxiety in pets. I am very receptive to any teaching you might have about your pet. I have my own car that runs well and I am available for longer hours so scheduling around your needs is easy. I am willing to work with animals with all kinds of schedules. I already work 12 hour shifts caring for up to 28 patients at a time by myself and am ready to bring that same level of commitment to your home and pets. I always prioritize safety in my practice. I already work 12 hour shifts caring for up to 28 patients at a time by myself and am ready to bring that same level of commitment to your home and pets. I am ready to learn about how to care for your pets in your home to ensure their safety and mine.

About: I prefer to go by Cameron (he/him). Since I can remember I have been caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, ages, and abilities. When I was in middle school my mom became involved in The Southern Cross Boston Terrier Rescue and we brought home many dogs to foster and officially adopt. Throughout my childhood I cared for blind dogs, deaf dogs, and dogs that struggle with seizure disorders. Now that I'm all moved out I have a long haired four year old cat named Fester. I'm helping my roommate raise her kitten and coparenting Benny my partner's Boston Terrier from the SCBTR. I'm currently returning to the workforce after recovering from top surgery so my schedule is very open. While I don't have a car at the moment I do have a bike plus I live in a convenient place to catch the bus. I don't currently have any fall trips planned so I should be here in Richmond area for quite a while. I don't take pets home with me to care for them. I am more than happy to come to you or take your pets to park based on what you would prefer. I am happy to feed, play with, and walk your pet as well as administer any extra care they may need.

About: My family is full of huuuuge animal lovers! Because of this, I’ve unofficially had years of experience with dogs, and more recently cats too! My three older siblings have two dogs each so I’ve had experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Of course I have experience with my own husky Luna who can be the toughest of em all lol I’m a full time student at VCU and I work a part time job, so I can get a little busy during the week! However, morning and evening visits are no problem, and my schedule is very flexible so I can always figure something out :) I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care for your pet like my own. I know, as a pet parent myself, that I’d like detailed updates on my dog as well as many pictures so I’ll do the same for you! I'Il treat them like my very best friend, I'll play with them, take them for walks around the neighborhood for some fresh air, and of course provide cuddles.

This was our first time using Rover and we hit the jackpot with Ezra! Our dogs absolutely adored him from the moment he arrived and were clearly so comfortable and happy in his care. While we were out of town, he took exceptional care of them—keeping them well-fed, exercised, and loved—and sent us regular, thoughtful updates that put our minds completely at ease. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he’s watching. We felt so lucky to find him and would recommend Ezra to anyone in a heartbeat. Five stars isn’t enough!

Stephanie was such a great sitter and we are very pleased with our first experience using Rover because of her! She took amazing care of our dog, our 2 cats, and home for 7 days. Stephanie was able to meet with us under short notice before our trip and was very friendly. Throughout her stay, she sent lots of updates and pictures, gave our animals lots of attention, and even went out to buy our dog a toy she thought he would enjoy. She took care of our dog when he got himself into trouble and cleaned him up thoughtfully. Stephanie was attentive and we would re-book with her again!

Isabelle was wonderful with Maverick while staying at my home for nearly two weeks! She gave him lots of love and attention, took him on regular walks, played with him often, and helped him socialize with other dogs. It was great knowing Maverick was happy, getting plenty of attention, and in such good hands while I was away. I really appreciate the care she gave him and the effort she made to keep him active and entertained. I would absolutely hire Isabelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

Conrad went above and beyond with taking care of our two dogs! Super responsive, friendly, careful with their needs (1 is a reactive dog, other has anxiety and is accident prone). When my dog started limping mid-stay, Conrad made sure to notify me and follow instructions perfectly and administer medication. I felt very comfortable knowing that Conrad was taking care of them diligently, ensuring they had the love, company, and support they needed when we were away for 3 days.
