“kathleen did a great job with my pups while i was out of town. i will absolutely be booking with her again! i have three aussies - high energy and highly velcro. she spent a few weeks doing drop ins leading up to this trip to build trust with them. during my time away, she followed my instructions to a tee, sent long updates (which i loved), and lots of pictures! as a dog mom, i can read their expressions and they looked so happy in all their pics and that made me feel so relaxed while i was away.”

About: Hello there! My name is Sammy and I have been around animals all of my life and they have inspired me in so many different ways. I have been managing doggy daycare/boarding facilities for a little over 3 years now so I guess you can say pet care is my specialty! I am dog and cat CPR certified, certified through the DHA (dog handler academy),I know how to give injections, and my knowledge on dog behavior is quite extensive. I have decided to go back to school as well which is why my schedule is so open. Currently I own a 2 year old Golden Retriever as well as the cutest cat ever that are both my world. I hope you decide to let me into your pets heart as I treat every pet like my own. ~Wags & Wiggles, Sammy🐾 I am going back to school which means I have a very open schedule. I am also pretty flexible with times and last minute bookings. When it comes to a clients home,I always like for us to meet before I start my services so everyone feels more comfortable. I will also provide pictures for my clients of your fur baby & I having a good time!

“Cynthia was amazing with my dog and was great with keeping us updated on how he was doing. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our boy!!!!”

“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”

About: I have taken care of multiple 8 week old pups & 8+ y/o ones as well. I would say I am trained all over the pup spectrum. My jobs are flexible & I normally can be available Monday-Sunday for all your pet sitter needs! So taking care of your pets will not be a problem. I prioritize each pet’s unique needs & routines, whether in my home or the client’s home. In my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation with the help of 3 dogs who I share a home with. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, & any specific care instructions. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I keep the home tidy & communicate regularly with updates & photos to give peace of mind. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care as if they were my own pets.

About: Hi! I have taken care of pets from different backgrounds and families and am willing to adjust and accommodate to any environment that is needed for the pet I currently work a full time job in Short Pump and commute home to the city. I am able to work around pet parents schedules if given enough notice in advance, and I appreciate those willing to work with my own schedule as well. No access to a yard for pups, and I do not have the space to accommodate for pups, therefore for boarding purposes I can only care for cats. I have an extra litter box, toys, and treats for your pet. Please feel free to bring your pets own food and their personal toys if necessary.

“Really understands dogs. Was very comfortable with my 2 dogs.”

About: My name is Mary Catherine, also known as Katie. I am a nationally certified and licensed Veterinary Technician. I have been involved in veterinary medicine and shelter work since 2005. I currently have 3 cats of my own, and have had dogs and cats and various other animals all my life. I know how very important it is to find someone you trust to care for your babies while out of town or in need of assistance. I would love to be that person to care for your beloved family member when you need someone to walk them, care for them while you are out of town, or stop in to give medications and TLC! I am not only a dog lover, but a self proclaimed cat lady and would love to care for your feline friends as well!

About: I have a Great Dane who is sensitive, so I know how to be patient with animals. I also have the ability to handle XL sized dogs. I have also fostered dogs before and have always had an animal in my life. I'm currently focusing on just working for Rover so my schedule is wide open for all your dog and cat needs! The passion for animals is my routine! I have a Great Dane and a cat who have free roam in my apartment. I also have a giant crate if needed. I take my dog out multiple times and day and provide exercise to ensure optimum health.

“Nick did a great job with our big baby! Will definitely use again!”

About: With 8 years of dog training experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Whether it’s teaching energetic puppies good manners or providing gentle, attentive care for seniors, I adapt to each dog’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. Since I work from home, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day while balancing my job, making sure their needs are always met. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or special instructions—so pets feel secure and cared for just like they would with their owner

“Pam has been wonderful each time she walks our pups! We enjoy the updates and pictures and I know our dogs are grateful to get out of their kennels on long days.”

About: Hey there! I’m Jess! I’m 31 years old and I absolutely adore animals. I have 20 years of experience in caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve been house/pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I have experience in caring for all animals with a specialty in exotics. I’m very flexible on when and where you need me as well as pay. Contact me so we can chat about your options! I have over 10 pets of my own (of wide variety) that get fed and played with daily. There is no job too small or too big for me. I am one for routine when necessary, so I will make sure your pet doesn’t get too stressed over their parents being away. I also have pets of my own to bring on walks or play dates if your pet is social.

About: I have been involved with dogs and all animals since I was a child. I started with dog rescue 20 years ago and dog training 15 years ago. I believe in pawsitive reinforcement - my personal philosophy is not to use the word No, uh-uh, no pinch collars, etc. I also have taught dogs ASL (american sign language). This helps communication with you and your fur baby. I love when pet parents have a look of amazement when I work/watch their kiddo for just 15 minutes. It's important to me that your furbaby is happy and stress free when you leave them with me. You will get daily updates and photos. We can aslo video chat to say good morning and good night to you. :) When I housesit I am there 24/7. Your pets are my passion! I look forward to meeting you soon. This is my job - I am with your pets 24/7. Yon have to worry about them being alone for the entire time I am sitting. I currently do not board any pets in my home. This may change in the future depending on the pets. Case by case basis. :)

About: Hi there! I’m a cat & dog mom who loves to meet new furry friends. I’ve always had a pet growing up (dogs, cats, birds, fish - you name it), so I’ll care for yours as if they’re my own. I love bringing my lab/beagle mix, Daisy, to local dog parks and all my pets love car rides. If you're ever interested, we have tons of toys we're more than happy to pass along if you’d like :) Prior to starting Rover in April 2021, I served as a Senior Animal Rights Advocate for The Humane Society of the United States. Throughout my canvassing efforts in the Richmond area, I had the honor of informing the public on current animal rights issues, national/local legislation, and shared how our community could actively stay involved. I have also worked for a small animal hospital in Carytown in the past where I regularly scheduled spay/neuter surgeries and vaccination appointments. I have an extensive amount of experience handling dogs, cats, and rabbits of many sizes! I loved learning about the medical side of pet wellbeing from the veterinarian and vet techs I worked with - I regularly use this clinical experience combined with my compassion for animals to provide the best care possible. I’m tidy, kind, and fun - Your pet will be spoiled and loved on so much by me. Not only do I love providing detailed notes for each visit (either via Rover card or Google Keep), but I take lots of photos throughout my stay so you're always kept in the loop with how your pet is doing. I provide professional petsitting/Rover services on a full-time basis. You can be rest assured that I will dedicate the quality time & care you are looking for. Staying respectful of your home & privacy while providing quality care is of utmost importance to me. When housesitting, I ensure your pet(s) are comfortable & double check all locks in the house before leaving & going to bed! I take the same precautions for drop-in visits and walks. If you have any special requests, just let me know & I can accommodate!

About: Hi, my name is Alex! I go by they/them pronouns, mostly. I’ve been around every kind of animal at least once, and I’ve had all the pets you can imagine! I’ve been around animals even before I was born and I know how to read their moods like second nature. I used to work at Holiday Pet Barn, and I’ve only ever had jobs with animals. I get along with them better than people! I love sitting back with pets and curling up with them for a nap or a cuddle session; they’re the best cuddlers. I also enjoy watching dogs run around and play or chase a ball. Yuki loves to play fetch, so dogs at my house will always have a playmate with her! I have cats and dogs of my own, but the cats tend to keep to themselves. I will only board dogs who are alright with cats and get along with other dogs. Mine are always happy to see a new face. It’s easy for me to view other pets as my own and I’ll treat them as such. I guarantee they’ll be safe and happy. I hope they love my furry kids too! Pet care is my full time job now, but if I am watching your pet, I will sleep at your house to be with them as much as I can. When boarding at my house, if I’m not around, my mom will be, so the animals are rarely ever alone. Despite possibly jumping between different pets, I can guarantee no animal will go more than 5 hours without a potty break. I also have friends who can help me out in an emergency. I treat every animal like my own, including calling them dummies when they do something goofy! I let animals on the furniture (in my home), and if they are bad, they can be reprimanded and crated. My cats avoid most animals that come over, but some of them love dogs. Additionally, we have feral cats that we have adopted outside our house, so any dog coming over MUST be alright with cats. I currently do pet care full-time, so when I am watching your pets I am with them the entire time. The only time I would not be with your fuzzy kids is when I have to go run errands/check on other pets. I do my best to treat every animal I watch like they are my own. This means lots of cuddles and playtimes, along with paying careful attention to their needs.

“Joseph does a great job with my feisty pup.”
