Pet Sitting Westover

“Kylie is pleasant and positive to deal with, a good communicator, shows up on time, posts great photos, and seems to like my dog (well, you know, we all have a perfect child, even when we don't!). I will hire Kylie again.”

“Ayme was excellent! She sent multiple pictures while dropping in to check on our pup while we we’re away and spent lots of time outside with her! Ayme even went over to let our dog out an extra time since we hit traffic on our way home. Her flexibility and thorough check ins made the weekend stress free! We will definitely be contacting her again! Thanks Ayme!”

“Jules is great! My cat can be shy or indifferent with strangers but got along really well with Jules. Beyond that, Jules is a good communicator and dependable. I know my cat is in good hands with her!”

“He was amazing with my cat! He played with him and sent me many pictures. He followed all my instructions and kept close contact with me. I felt so much better while I was on vacation knowing my kitty was being taken care of!”

About: My partner and I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. We carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We’re comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. Our focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. My specialty is organization and structure, my partner specializes in socialization and behavioral management. Pet care is part of our daily life. Someone is home throughout the day. We organize our schedule around the dogs in our care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. We have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside we provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place for them to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in our home or a client’s home, we focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. We follow established routines, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.

“Cynthia was a great sitter! She was very communicative with me and sent me pictures of my cat while she was there. I felt like I didn’t have to worry about him at all when I was away for Christmas! Absolutely will try to rebook with her anytime I have to leave town!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs as small as a mini pincher/chihuahua and as big as a bernidoodle. I am willing to make sure your pet has all they need and are well taken care of. I work from home Monday thru Friday. That gives me a lot of flexibility with my time. Saturday and Sunday I typically spend my days at home with the exception of going to the gym in the mornings. I recently moved back into my Richmond home, and have a large backyard that’s perfect for your pet. I have a large backyard that’s perfect for play. We’d spend a lot of time outside on the nice and sunny days. If I need to come to your home, I have a child that loves dogs. He is extremely gentle with them and enjoys their company.

“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.”

About: I work full time as a Registered Nurse, but I have a love for all animals and would love to hang with your fur babies on my days off. I have years of experience taking care of all animals, I grew up around dogs, cats, birds, horses, frogs, and snakes . We have an aussie named Blue that we love so much and I would love to help you out with your furry friends. I can provide references as needed but can assure you your babies will be in good hands. We can also work on training as needed, make trips to the dog park, or just walk around the block! My pup is really playful so we could also have play dates if you feel comfortable with that.

“Amanda watched our 3 cats this past week and handled it perfectly. In particular, she provided very thorough updates and really connected with each of our cats in an effective way, spending quality time spent with each cat. We felt very comforted each day reading through the updates and laughed at the candid photos of our cats. She paid a lot of attention to the details of our instructions and generally went above and beyond. We will definitely check with Amanda before our next trip and highly recommend her for your needs.”

“Alyssa has been an amazing pet sitter for our high-energy dog. She has been great with our unpredictable schedule and has been an awesome communicator. We are very grateful we could find her on Rover!”

Mary C.

“We had a great experience with Marina! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we work such long hours. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

Sabrina J.

“She was exceptional!!”

Kenneth B.

“Second time hiring Abigail -- she was wonderful as always! our sweet kitty loves her, and I love that she actually spends time hanging out with Luna and playing with her/cuddling her rather than just sitting in the same room and calling it a day. Will definitely be rehiring Abigail whenever we are out of town!”

About: *9/2026: Back on the app after a hiatus due to meeting capacity for clients, currently looking for regular local clients after some of my previous clients have moved out of state! I am a pediatric physical therapist looking to dogsit on weekends or walk dogs. Walking or running with your dog(s) will allow me to stay active, and I am sure your pup will thank you for it! I get off on Fridays at 11:30AM and am free until Sunday nights at 10:00PM. My experience is fairly eclectic. I have fostered dogs for Houlagan's Rest and BARKVa for the 4 years, and currently have 2 adopted dogs of my ow (both foster fails!): a sweet American Bulldog mix named Big Mama, and a Black and Tan Coonhound Mix named Dusty. Fostering has allowed me to work with breeds, ages, and learning abilities of all kinds. I have leash trained, potty trained, and been a medical foster for those who have just been spayed/neutered as well as other medical complications. I am very comfortable with dogs that have barrier/food/dog aggression, as well as anxiety. In addition to my fostering/owning my own pups, I raised both of my childhood dogs (cockapoos) from 8 weeks onward for my mother during my summer breaks. I have also babysat dogs for my friends and family throughout undergraduate school and grad school. I believe that your pup should feel comfortable, safe, and happy throughout their stay with me, so I request that we do a meet and greet before confirming to make sure that I can sufficiently meet you and your dog's needs 😊 I will also be able to stay in your home full-time as my husband will take care of my pups while I am away, so no need to worry about splitting time!!! I am available to dogsit from Fridays after 11:30 AM until Sundays at 10:00PM, and can dog walk on weekends! I typically am home near full-time with your pup, and do not like to leave more than 2-3 hour intervals max most often. When at your home, I am always certain to implement whatever rules you may have. I am experienced with crate training, and am also happy to take the pup on adventures (I often like to go to the farmers market and on long walks around the Richmond Trails.) I am also happy to lounge on the couch and snuggle if that's what they prefer!

“Beth clearly connected with Lula! She sent sweet photos that helped reassure me that my kittycat was in good hands and getting loving attention and plenty of skritch-scratches.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have cared for dogs and cats since I was 12. I moved to Richmond a few months ago to begin graduate school, but because my roommate is allergic to dogs, I had to leave my own dogs with my parents. I also have experience working at a doggie daycare, where I cared for dogs with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I miss spending time with them dearly, so I would love the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own. It would be a privilege to give your furry family member the same care, attention, and affection I give my own animals. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I can plan walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around my classes and schoolwork, giving each pet the attention they deserve. I also enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs on walks would fit naturally into my routine. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. Because my roommate is allergic to dogs, I’m unable to provide pet-care services in my own home. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any other parts of your pet’s usual routine. I’ll treat your home respectfully, give your pet plenty of attention and affection, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your loved one is safe and well cared for.

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.
