About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as walking and helping care for my neighbors’ dogs. Through this, I’ve learned how to safely walk dogs, follow feeding routines, give lots of attention, and recognize when a dog may need a break or extra care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and understand how important patience and consistency are for pets. I’m available after school on weekdays and I have more flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, punctual, and always communicate clearly about scheduling and updates. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow instructions carefully, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure they’re always in a safe, calm environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and respect owners’ routines, rules, and preferences.
“Pamela is always amazing. We have boarded our dog, Nina, with her and have had drop in visits and every time, Nina is so happy and cared for. Definitely recommend Pamela and we will continue to use her services!”
“Can’t say enough great things about Jacqui! Our cat is normally very wary of strangers but Jacqui was fantastic with him! She went above and beyond to get him comfortable with her and they became fast friends. Jacqui gave us plenty of updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. She even went the extra mile to check on him and the power in our house during a storm. Eddie loves his new bestie!”
“Dakota did several drop in visits for my two dogs and they love her so much! She’s the absolute best. I will definitely book her again. It was nice to go away and not feel stressed about leaving my dogs at a kennel.”
“Heidi was amazing with King!! She was very attentive, always on time, and was great with communicating and sending pictures of King. We will definitely be looking to use Heidi again!”
About: I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work. If you have small animals that need baby sitting my home is open to them and I have experience with a variety of small animals. I'm located off a major highway making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I fit every animals needs and put them into my regular routine. I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love and patience I bring to every dog I meet. I don’t just watch pets—I care for them like they’re my own. With experience ranging from energetic puppies who need structure and play, to senior dogs who need extra comfort and gentle attention, I know how to meet each dog where they are. I’m attentive to their routines, signals, and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. My goal isn’t just to be a sitter, but a trusted companion for your furry family member. I have a free schedule during the day until the evening and what better way to spend my day then to be with a furry friend In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where dogs can feel at ease. I stick closely to their routines—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or downtime—and give them plenty of love and attention. I make sure they get both exercise and enrichment, while also providing cozy rest time so they feel balanced and cared for. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect and follow the routines and rules their pets are already used to. I make sure they feel secure in their own space, keeping everything consistent from feeding schedules to playtime. I also give updates and pictures so owners know their pets are not just cared for, but happy and comfortable while they’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Kelly! I have 3 animals myself, 3 (very needy!) cats. I had a dog who’s recently passed, and I love all animals! I am experienced in old and young pets alike. My cat is 14 and requires daily medication which I have no problem with. Huge fan of the kittens and puppies as well!😊 Any and all pets I am happy to watch.

Animals in my home won’t be possible because of all my pets, but in your home I am able to watch them! I can drive anywhere from 1 mile to 30 miles to watch your furry friend! Let me know the location and we can figure something out :)
“Emma was great with our dog! She arrived on time each day at my home as scheduled while my family and I were out of town. She was professional and friendly the entire time. She also sent pictures of our dog from each visit.”

About: I’m a mental health therapist and lifelong animal lover, so I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pets. I grew up around animals—my mom ran her own professional pet sitting business, and I learned from her experience with the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and more—and have been trusted with their care since I was a teen. I’m comfortable and experienced with medicating pets when needed, always following your instructions carefully. As a pet parent myself, with my cat Luna at home, I know how much your pets mean. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes—young or old, big or small—and treat every pet like part of my family. Because when your pet is happy, you are happy! I work part-time as a mental health therapist, which gives me a lot of flexibility and allows me to stay local. Pet care is a meaningful way for me to care for others while also taking care of myself, so I’m truly present and intentional in the time I spend with your pets. I love creating consistent routines whenever possible—it helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. That means plenty of attention, play, and cuddles (always on their terms), along with keeping up with their regular feeding and routines. I’m attentive to cleanliness and will always make sure any messes are taken care of promptly. I keep a close eye on their health and can provide medication support when needed, always following your instructions and your vet’s orders carefully. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and notes so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I’m also very open to discussing safety preferences and expectations to ensure the best experience for both you and your pets.
About: I have always had and been surrounded by dogs in my life. I love any breed of dog and enjoy being in company with them. I am home for the summer and going back to graduate school in the fall so my availability is pretty flexible! I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am able to work with you on days/ times! Feel free to reach out! I have two dogs at home who I love dearly! They both love to lay in my bed with me and go on walks. My younger pup (4 y/o) is like my shadow! My other dog is a senior (about 14 y/o) and has seen me grow up. I love them both and will love your dog like my own!
Abingdon dog parents share their Rover experiences
Janis did an amazing job watching our dog while we were away at our wedding! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands during such an important weekend. She was reliable, caring, and clearly treated our dog like her own. We came home to a happy dog and couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Janis to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Emil has been a huge help and great for our dog Bailey. I could tell her was a dog lover right when he met Bailey. He is punctual, active with Bailey and leaves a note to provide an update on the drop in. He has been very patient with our puppy Bailey and tries to take her for a walk to encourage her.
The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!
Travis was very accommodating to my schedule and came out to my apartment several times to meet my dogs/pick up a key fob I had made. He provided detailed updates with photos and my animals loved him. My apartment was left in perfect condition and my dogs well cared for. Would absolutely recommend!
Shannon did an amazing job taking care of my pup Nala. It was my first time leaving my pup and I was so nervous. But after our meet and greet, I knew Nala was in good hands. Shannon communicated well and sent the cutest pics of my pup daily which put me at ease. I will definitely be hiring Shannon in the future!
