“Lindsey was great! She kept us up to date with pictures of our dog throughout the day. Made me feel much better about leaving Dex behind he was in great hands. Highly recommend her!”


“Oh my goodness Kim is a phenomenal cat sitter!! We came back from a 6 day trip and our picky senior cats acted like we’d never been gone. She sent great pics of them each day so I could see all the love and attention they were getting. Kim was also kind enough to handle mail and packages, and even left us a lovely welcome home treat. We’ve had mixed experiences with others in the past and it’s comforting to find someone who treats your pets and home so thoughtfully. So glad we found her!”


“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”


“This was my first house sitting appointment with Rover and Heather. Heather came by and introduced herself before the appointment to get acquainted. Ziggy and Luna were very happy to meet her and she got along with them great. They were taken care of while I was out of town and it was nice knowing some one loving to animals was caring for mine.”


About: Dogs have been part of my family for as long as I can remember — they’re truly woven into the fabric of my life. After 15 years as a large animal and livestock farmer, I’ve handled every kind of surprise animals can throw at me — so I’m up for unusual circumstances. Your pup will have 10 fully fenced acres to explore, sniff, and zoom to their heart’s content. And they won’t be alone! I have four animal-loving kids who can’t wait to run, play, and snuggle with new furry friends. I work from home, and my kids are homeschooled so we are home most of the time, so we are available for potty breaks and snuggles throughout the day. During the school year we attend a homeschool co-op for much of the day Tuesday and Thursday. We have 10 fully fenced acres for safe, joyful exploring, plus two friendly dogs and four dog-savvy cats to keep your pup company. Crating is available if needed (especially for new potty trainers), but we love welcoming guest dogs right into our daily routine. Your dog can enjoy farm walks, endless ball throwing, and plenty of cozy couch time with us. They’ll feel like part of the family from day one!

“These two are fantastic! Our dogs were so well taken care of and their communication is perfect! They go above and beyond and we can’t wait to use them again!”


About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.

About: With many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I bring a unique combination of professional training and genuine passion to every sit. I'm not just a pet sitter—I under that each pup has their own personality, needs, and quirks. Special Experience & Expertise: Patient with nervous dogs - I know how to help anxious or shy dogs feel comfortable with me Multi-dog household experience - Comfortable caring for multiple dogs and giving each one individual attention Senior dog care - Gentle handling for older dogs who may need extra care and patience Medication administration - Reliable with giving pills and following your dog's specific care routine Love of exercise - Happy to provide walks, hikes, and playtime to keep your dog active and healthy High-energy dog experience - I enjoy dogs who need lots of exercise and mental stimulation Following routines - I'll stick to your dog's feeding schedule, walking routine, and house rules My Promise to You: Your dog won't just be watched—they'll be loved, exercised, mentally stimulated, and treated like family. I provide daily photo updates, detailed care notes, and am always available for communication. Whether your pup needs a gentle companion or an active adventure buddy, I adapt my care style to match their needs perfectly. Pet care is a top priority in my routine. I work flexible hours and plan my schedule around your pet's needs - feeding times, walks, and companionship always come first. I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I make sure to give your pet consistent attention throughout the day. Whether it's a quick check-in or full-day care, I adjust my schedule to ensure your furry friend never feels lonely or neglected. Safety is my number one concern whether caring for pets in my home or yours. I always keep doors and gates securely closed, remove any potential hazards, and closely supervise pets during playtime. In your home, I maintain your pet's familiar routine and environment to reduce stress.

About: Hello! My name is Kate and I want to meet your pet! I have a seven year old Australian Shepherd who might be the love of my life (don't tell my husband!) I have grown up around dogs but have also taken care of cats and guinea pigs. In all seriousness, I live in the Goochland/Short Pump area and offer pet walking during the day. I'm a super active person who works from home and has the time to commit to make sure your pet is well taken care of! My first dog (a Westie) lived to be almost 17 and by the end of his life, needed a variety of medicines throughout the day and so that is another service that I can offer. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I work from home starting late morning and also typically go to the park everyday after work (depending on the weather). I am available before work, during lunch, and after work. I make sure that your pet has plenty of water and play time before I leave the visit! I always make sure your pet is comfortable and we can play as much as they want!

“I love working with Kelly and her sister! They are very easy to get in touch with and keep you updated on everything. They are my go-to for when I need drop-in visits when I am out of town. Highly recommended!”



“Alexandra took such good care of my brand new puppy and was such a good sport. Can’t express how thankful I am for how much help she was. My pup loved her and it was awesome to find someone I could trust entirely!”

“Sarah was perfect for my babies. Felt good knowing that they were taken care of while we were gone. Her Rover Cards are so detailed and the pics were such a treat. Great communication and very accommodating. Sarah, stay on standby because we will call on you again! ☺️”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was seven years old. My family had two kittens that I cared for and I was responsible for pet sitting other fur babies in the neighborhood growing up. I also attended many animal science/nature camps growing up, it’s where I got my first hermit crab! I also know the Heimlich maneuver for both cats and dogs. In my junior year of high school I applied and was accepted to the HOSA veterinary science program where I graduated in the National Honors Society. Shortly after graduation, I started working at a veterinary hospital as a veterinary assistant. My job was to help restrain animals for exams/shots, organize medications, prepare/read fecal slides and determine if intestinal parasites are present, collect urine samples, and provide basic care. Overall I have had personal experience caring for dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, goats, horses, hamsters, chickens/chicks, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, ferrets, chinchillas, birds, lizards, snakes, frogs, turtles, hermit crabs, and axolotls. I am currently a student in nursing school and am working as a part time server. I only have classes two days a week on Monday (6 AM - 6 PM) and Tuesday (8:30 AM - 11:15 AM) and work a couple hours 2 evenings a week, but can take off if needed for services. I like to learn about their daily routine and what they like to do for fun so and incorporate those things into our routine while clients are gone, so pets feel safe and relaxed while their family isn’t there.

About: Hey guys! I’m Haley, I’m 22 years old. I currently work at a vet hospital part time on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday times ranging from 7am-3pm, I often don’t get scheduled all days as well as all of the mentioned time every week so please still reach out! I also offer training services just an upcoming newer trainer as I’m a dog trainer with a career diploma in the field. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! I’m hoping to be able to take care of others pets near me while earning money on the side. Services I can provide would include feeding them, administration of medications (if needed), training (if owner would like), bathing, nail trims, ear cleanings, brushing (cost extra depending on service, brushing is free unless matted) take them outside to play and potty, any other services owner may need. I currently work part time at a veterinary clinic as stated in the pet care experience box, I’m pretty flexible and will try my best to work with you! I have a backyard, and 5 acres of land. Along with ample room for them to run. We can chill and watch a movie together, or go outside and play with the hose and run around.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to help care for their beloved four-legged friends for years, so I know I can care for yours with as much love as I'd give my own. I've had my own little girl live with me even while at college and I know how important they can be to us. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of morning or evening availability to take care of your loved ones. I am also available on most weekends. I have an electric fence at my home, but my dogs are trained well enough that they can often be let out without worry. If I am watching your fur baby, I will provide one-on-one attention and only give them interaction with my own pets if we discuss it prior.
