“Our lil Lilibet just had her first overnighter with Briana’s family, or anyone actually, and she very well may have not missed us at all! It was that special for her. Briana treated our previous girl as if she was her own. We are so pleased to have such a wonderful surrogate mommy for our lil girl!”

“Sarah was amazing! Our dog felt completely at home with her and was loved and spoiled rotten. We received photos and updates throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. Definitely be using her again!”


“Joel and Janelle were wonderful hosts to our pups! We especially appreciated how much they communicated. Our dogs came home happy and look forward to staying with them again.”

“Perfect stay for our pet. First time using Rover and we sure lucked out with David! Very nice and communicative about our doggy’s day to day. My family felt like he went above and beyond caring for our Ollie, will be sure to bring him back when on vacation”

“Charlie was so great with Dougie!!! My pup can be shy and a little unsure of new surroundings but he was at ease with Charlie and his dogs! I would absolutely use his services again!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby as I unexpectedly needed to go out of town for a family matter. Not only was Dimitri flexible and professional, he provided me daily photos and updates! He followed all of the feeding instructions perfectly and took my pup to the dog park daily. I highly recommend Dimitri and will be using his services again in the future!”


“This lady is AMAZING! last minute medical situation and with a new puppy. She was so welcoming and so nice. Great communication amazing updates and seriously she could be a pro dog photographer. Just absolutely no. 1 best person on Rover. Anyone in the area needing someone to care for your pups have to give her a shout!”

“Jeannie, Robert, and their daughter were AMAZING with our pup Maxie. They sent me a video so I could see their home ahead of time and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable as a first time Rover-user. While we were out of town Jeannie sent me pictures and videos of Maxie so I knew he was happy and well taken care of. 10/10! Will absolutely book with them again!”


“Linda was fantastic. She is super kind and sweet! She worked with our 2 small dogs and made sure we were comfortable with lexible drop off and pick up times, as our schedule kept changing. I would definitely use Linda again in the future.”

“Min and Matt were a last minute booking, but they worked out so well. I was even able to stay an extra day on my vacation while they kept my pup. They made sure to walk and play with him multiple times a day. He was very well cared for and smiled his time at their house. I would highly recommend using them in the future.”

“Jesse is OUTSTANDING. Saved our whole trip - took Kona from a previous sitter who couldn't handle her energy – then made sure Kona was well cared for. She's our go-to and I've already started referring others to her.”

“We left our dog with Jessica for the weekend. She took great care of her & updated us with pics & videos . We will be booking with her again & highly recommend her !”

“Megan took such great care of our dog! She kept us updated with photos throughout our stay and we could see how happy our pup was. Her kids were also so incredibly sweet and gentle with her! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be rebooking when we’re in need of a sitter in this area!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have cared for many dogs of various breeds & sizes throughout my life and currently have three dogs and two cats at home. Besides cats & dogs, I have also cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, hamsters, chickens, goats, and sheep! For the past two years, I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Winchester, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I am confident working with playful puppies, senior pets, and everyone in between. I am patient, outgoing, and truly love providing animals with the care and attention they deserve. I am a student at Virginia Tech, so I have availability here and there throughout the day! I am also available most evenings/nights for longer periods of time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.
“Tavin was an amazing sitter!! We could tell from our meet and greet she loves animals and Leroy would be in good hands! We loved the pictures she sent us daily, and she went above and beyond to take special care of our bulldog!! We felt so relaxed while on vacation knowing he was being loved in a beautiful home!! We will definitely be return customers!! We can’t thank her enough!!”

“She took good care of our energetic pup! She always kept us updated with photos and texts about how he was enjoying his days. Thank you for letting us enjoy our vacation without worrying about our Cody.”

“Walter and his family were great hosts and caretakers for our dog. They made us feel super comfortable by sending updates and pictures while we were away. We have already asked them to take care of our dog again because of the wonderful care they provided!”

“Amazing! I can’t say enough about how well she took care of our girls. I have already rebooked for our next trip. Not only does she treat the girls as family but she also works with training. We have a young pup so training has been out top priority. Highly recommended❤️❤️❤️”
