“Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend”

“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”


“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: I’ve been pet sitting for 4 years and have a huge heart when it comes to animals! I’m here to put your mind at ease while you’re away from your pet. I’m a teacher, so my summers are free to help you out with your pups! I am happy to check in, walk, or play with your pet when needed. I can assure you that your pet will be in safe hands while at my apartment. I will make sure they are fed appropriately, taken out, and walked multiple times.
“Michelle did an incredible job house and pet sitting our dog and cat. She communicated well, sent delightful photos and updates, and even handled an unusual house issue safely and with no stress on our end. We can't wait to book with her again!”

About: Hi there! I'm Mitchell, an experienced and passionate dog lover excited to take care of your furry friend. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles, or quiet walks, I provide personalized care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I offer a flexible and stress-free experience for both you and your dog, with plenty of attention, exercise, and fun! Your pup’s comfort and happiness are my top priority. Looking forward to meeting your furry companion and making them feel at home!" I am excited an eager to help out taking care of your furry friends and with 18 years of having pets and three years of experience watching dogs for friends I am willing and able to do what it takes to give your dog a quality experience and help out with whatever is needed. I am a teacher in Chesterfield County so I can be available all day on weekends, Saturday and Sunday, and after 4 PM on week days. I have two dogs, one is a beagle/dachshund mix that is 3 years old and a 10 month smaller sized lab/hound mix that are both under 30 pounds and live in a two floor condo with no yard. I am able to walk dogs and do pop in visits to check on your dogs.
“Matt was/is amazing! A true hidden gem or maybe not so hidden but either way I'm glad I found him. His immediate calming demeanor was just what my semi high strung energetic dog needed, as well as my timid cat. He was flexible, punctual, incredibly kind, and went above and beyond while caring for my fur babies. It made being away from them that much easier as my mind and heart were at peace. He also sent me lots of photos of them which always brightens my day when I'm away from them. I could not recommend Matt enough.”


About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.
“Sara was a lovely sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos. We felt so comfortable with her watching our pup in our home while we were gone and we could truly trust our dog was in good hands. We came home to a spotless house! She’s going to be our new go-to. Thank you so much Sara!”

“Emily did great with Paris! She followed all my instructions in the house. Took great care of her, gave her her medicine, and sent pictures and updates every day. Will definitely book again.”

“Kaleigh watched our dog overnight this weekend and was very communicative throughout the time we were away. She sent multiple pictures and let us know how our dog was doing. We appreciate her taking such good care of our pup for us!”

“Robbi is great! She’s very responsive and was flexible in a last minute adjustment to the date/time I need her to watch my pup. She would occasionally check in and send photos of my puppy letting me know everything is going well. Definitely will be using her in the future!”

“Alex worked with our one dog who was nervous around him at first. He spent a lot of time at our house with our two dogs while we were on vacation. When we came back our dogs were tired and happy.”

“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”

“Violet was great with our dogs. They can be a bit high maintenance and she took that on with grace and understanding. Would highly recommend Violet and will be using her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs and animals my entire life. I have a heart for caring for animals and giving them the best life possible. Can help train younger dogs as I have experience training puppies and reactive dogs. 🚨I also have experience and knowledge of working with reactive dogs (barking, etc.). If your dog needs a bit more TLC and patience, I am happy to offer that to your pup. I ask that you describe in detail how to best set your dog up for success during my time with them and what their typical triggers are so that I keep your pup safe and happy. I’m a young professional living in central Richmond VA. I live a leisure lifestyle outside of work in event planning that includes many walks, plant gardening, and reading. I am also known for the occasional hike! Weekends are usually free as well as pockets of time throughout the day and evenings. Dogs are allowed anywhere in my home! I openly welcome couch snuggles (unless owner would rather place and mat training in place). I want to make my space as comfortable as possible for our furry guests, so will make any accommodations necessary for a relaxing stay with me!
Virginia Union pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amaya did an amazing job. Love her fun and bubbly personality.She was very consistent with her updates and easy to talk to. Knowing our babies were in her good care made our vacation much more relaxing. I would highly recommend and can't wait to book her again.

Ginny took such amazing care of my Tillie-Bean! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, which made being away from my sweet pea so much easier. Tillie had such a great time that I’m pretty sure she’ll be requesting Ginny as her sitter again in the future! 🐾💕

If you can successfully walk my dog, you can probably handle just about anything! 😂 My pup is full of energy and thinks every walk is an Olympic pulling event, but Jonatan handled him with patience and confidence reassuring me that my sweet boy was in good hands. I will definitely use Jonatan in the future as he helped me out in a bind for a last minute trip and even came over the night before to meet my pup. Very accommodating, attentive, and kind.

Elizabeth took wonderful care of Roo while we were away for four days. She was incredibly flexible, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease throughout our entire time away. She sent frequent updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Roo was well cared for, and Elizabeth left our home very clean and treated it with respect. We would absolutely book with Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter.

Lindy was so lovely. She was a great communicator- she sent me photos and a pup update each day. She took careful care of Sadie’s senior needs. When I got home, Sadie girl seemed at ease and the house was in order. I am grateful for Lindy’s time spent with Sadie and would recommend her as a sitter to anyone.
