Casey and her kiddos are amazing at making my dog feel like she's at home! She updated with sweet photos and provided a fun weekend for our German Shepherd with lots of love and treats ♥️. She can't wait to go back in 6 weeks!

Monica was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our 6 month puppy for more than a few hours and she eased our nerves everyday during our 5 day vacation. She updated us on how pumpkin was adjusting and sent pictures! She introduced our puppy to other dogs while in her care and she did great which was an added bonus! I would absolutely choose Monica again if we need a sitter and highly recommend her!!!

It was great being able to leave my Husky overnight with Trooper. He was very friendly, flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, communication was great, and I knew my boy was in good hands. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Laura is amazing with our puppy. She drops in on her at our home a couple of times a week and most recently had her over for boarding in her home for a few days. She gives great updates and cares for our puppy as her own. We are thankful to have found Laura to care for our puppy!

About: Hi! My name is Alexis, I am 27 years old, and I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up I helped my dad with training his rabbit dogs and attending to their needs while he was at work or etc. I am born and raised in Amherst, VA. I own my own townhouse in Madison Heights. Although, the area is not fenced in there is a nice big yard for your fur-baby to get plenty of exercise and exposure to the sun and fresh air!! There is sidewalks in the neighborhood that makes it easy for taking walks. I am here to care for your fur-baby as you would. I will pet, feed, walk, play, brush attend to your fur-baby's needs. You and your fur-baby will be happy with my services. I do work 40 hours a week from home which allows me to have more time at home to attend to your fur-baby. Your dog/cat will be able to roam freely in the house unless otherwise requested. I do not work weekends, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I can easily crate your dog as needed. All dogs are walked on leashes when we go for walks. I respect your wishes in my home and your home.

Excellent service, care, and communication! I am extremely particular about who watches our fur baby - one, because I adore him, care deeply about his safety, and do not like leaving him; and two, because we have had more than one bad experience in the past. Marketa and Jay were patient and understanding, answered questions, addressed my concerns, and helped allay my fears and worries. And the ongoing communication was greatly appreciated. I felt they were honest and trustworthy, which was a great relief to me as well, as I felt our fur baby was safe in their care.

Jané did a wonderful job looking after our Australian Shepherd. She was a great communicator and sent multiple doggie updates a day including photographs. Her house has a big backyard that's fully fenced in so there's plenty of room for dogs to run safely. She also took our dog on multiple walks a day. You can tell Jané sincerely cares about animals and she's great at caring for them. I look forward to boarding with her again!

Thanks so much for taking care of our Pepper girl while we were out of town! We loved the photos and video that were sent and knew she was in good hands! Pepper looked like she had so much fun running around the backyard with her new friends!

Amanda is amazing with my dog Asher. She is able to handle just about any situation with my 7 month old GSD who’s about 65 lbs. She has lots of space for dogs to run and kids too. She is kind, caring, and very responsible. I’ve had my dog Asher stay with Amanda for a day, And currently she’s been watching my dog for the entire week. Asher loves staying with her.

Tierra was so sweet and accommodating. I could tell Kylo loved hanging out with her and playing fetch going for walks. Turn it over 10 would recommend her for any pet sitting needs and plan to use her in the future.

Brittni and Marc were great! They treated our 2 dogs as their own and went out of their way to accommodate us while sitting for us. Nice couple, great communication, and animal lovers, you couldn't ask for better. Our doggies are looking forward to more visits at this home, they loved it there!

Joleen took care of our dog very gracefully. I booked at the last minute and our dog was greatly welcomed by Joleen, husband and their two dogs which were very friendly and playful for our dog. Our booking was for 9 days and received checkin texts and pictures on our pup with out being having to prompt Joleen to do so. When I had a question, Joleen was very expedient in answering my text. This was my first experience with Rover and it didn’t disappoint. Joleen and her husband are very nice people and enjoyed meeting them. Their house was very dog friendly by having pretty of room to run and play in the fenced in backyard. When we picked up our dog his demeanor was normal and showed he also liked being around Joleen. Would highly recommend Joleen as a sitter.

Katelyn was fantastic! My other rover sitter had to cancel an hour before I was set to drop Ruger off. Katelyn was fast to respond and extremely accommodating on such short notice. Ruger had a blast playing with her dog and she kept me updated with photos. I couldn't ask for a better rover experience.

Alliyah is the best - very prompt to respond. Provided great care and love for Tucker! Home/family setting with other pets and children, so great socialization and interaction. We didn't want Tucker crated, she said, no problem. You won’t find anyone friendlier or more professional and accommodating. Sent us pictures and texts almost everyday. Reasonably priced and conveniently located.
