“I was extremely hesitant to leave my cats with a stranger - my cats are my children in a lot of ways - but as soon as I met Kylie it reassured me I made a good choice as to who I can trust with my two boys. She made me feel relaxed, at ease and was extremely reliable/communicative. She obviously has had a lot of experience caring for animals/pets and it showed; there was not a moment that I felt uneasy. She stayed longer than she needed to and was very attentive my cats needs. I will definitely be booking future rover visits with her again! She’s the best!”

“Kyra was incredible with my dog biscuit. He can be really particular and stubborn but Kyra was so good with him. Kyra was very great at sharing how the visit went and how he was doing. I had a few specific things I needed her to do during this visit and she was so accommodating and made me feel so much better about not being there. Will absolutely be using her again.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my own golden retriever, Sunny, since he was a puppy. Sunny is now 5 years old, well-behaved, and friendly with other pets. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment for dogs of all temperaments. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I walk Sunny twice daily—morning and evening—and love spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. I live in a one-level ranch-style home with a fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly. Sunny is gentle and social, making him a great companion for visiting pets. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their comfort and safety.
“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”

“Kallie was a great sitter. She was able to connect quickly with me when I had to go out of town last minute. Ragnar was well taken care of. Would recommend her to folks looking for a pet sitter and would use her again.”

“Meghan was great with my cats. Even Beans, who hides from everyone but me, found himself rolling over for belly rubs from Meghan. Highly recommend her and would definitely request her services again!”


“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”

“Rachel visited my pets twice a day while I was traveling. She did amazing: played with them, fed them, and cleaned up their litter box. She took many pictures and I felt at easy to travel knowing they were well cared for 😻”

“Kay stepped up when my usual cat sitter cancelled before the Christmas break and really put all of my worries at ease. She is a phenomenally attuned cat sitter and so communicative for any needs she had. Thank you, Kay! Couldn’t have enjoyed my vacation away without you!”

“Abigail was great with Leo and was there for us when we had a sudden emergency! She took care of all of his needs and spent time with him and was pleasure to work with!”

“Holland was A B S O L U T E L Y wonderful, this was my first Rover experience, and I couldn't be happier. The photos & reviews she gave were detailed and joyful, I can tell my baby was well cared for and enjoyed her time with Holland. I will definitely be using her services again !”

“We love how much Virginia communicates with us about our complicated kitties. She brought in our mail/packages while we were away and kept our house tidy from cat-induced messes. Would definitely have her again!”

“Haley gave detailed reports and took great care of my cats! They are a little high maintenance and one has a few health issues and requires daily medicine, Haley had no complaints followed every instruction perfectly.”

“Anna was amazing and so kind! She was great with communication which was important for me because i’m always nervous to leave my dog behind. She was great with following directions and taking care of my little old lady. I will definitely be using Anna’s service again!”

About: I’m a grad student at VCU and experienced dog mom happy to help with dog walking and drop in visits! I have an active lab mix and have fostered several dogs and puppies from the SPCA. I’m comfortable with all ages of dog from puppies to seniors. I’m would love to take your dog for walks, play, and snuggle! I’m on a break from grad school until January 12 so I have very open availability for walks and drop ins! I would love to care for your pet :) Safety is my top priority! I keep dogs on leash unless in a fenced-in yard, am careful of dietary restrictions, and closely follow all instructions given to me by the owners.
About: I have many years of experience taking care of not just dogs and cats but exotic animals as well such as fish, birds, and reptiles! I also have extensive experience in administering medications to animals. I work full time as an animal keeper from 9-5 Sunday-Thursday. I am available all day Friday and Saturday, and I am also available to do drop in visits before and after I go to work. I understand that different pets have different needs. And I follow instructions explicitly. I also know how much pet owners miss their fur babies when away so I make a point to send picture and updates.
“Makenzie did an amazing job looking after our two cats! One of them is quite shy and the other was dealing with a health issue while we were away, but she handled them perfectly and gave us helpful updates and pics along the way. Will definitely book her again in the future!”

About: One of the first things people notice about me is how animals are drawn to me. For some reason I was the only person who could sit my cousin's dog, who wanted to bite everyone else. Odds are good your pet will make a new friend while you're away. I'm currently between full-time jobs, which gives me the flexibility to build my schedule to meet the needs of clients, whether it's just dropping in or a long-term stay. My apartment has a very cat-friendly setup, though obviously most cats prefer staying on their own turf. For dogs, I'll need to come to you.
