Started with one neighbor. Grown by trust.
Pet sitting that feels like leaving them with family.
Rose visits every home in person before the first booking — because peace of mind starts with knowing exactly who’s caring for your pet, not just reading a profile.
“I’m always worried about leaving Pumpkin behind but Rose and her husband took away all my fears.”
— Vicki S., Glen Allen, VA
How Rose can help
Drop-in visits
A midday check-in for feeding, a walk, fresh water, and a little company while you’re at work.
Overnight stays
Someone in the house overnight, so your pets keep their routine even when you can’t be there.
Boarding
Your pet stays with Rose and the pugs — a real home, not a kennel, while you’re away.

Rose covers the Glen Allen and Richmond area in person. Everywhere else, GentlePaws.pet lists independent sitters — enter your ZIP and see the ones whose own travel radius reaches you.
