“I highly recommend Corrie & Greg (& kids!!) as this was our second visit for daycare. It’s such a peace of mind knowing our puppy is well cared for and loved by this amazing family. We received communication & updates during his stay. We could fully relax to enjoy a VT football game knowing our puppy was in excellent care with the sweetest family. Thank you so much, and we will see you again soon!”

“Emily and her family are wonderful! They welcomed my old lad, Major, and genuinely seemed to care about him as they do their own pup. Emily sent photos of Major getting settled in and spending time with the fam and was very communicative.

Really miss having a sweet doggy. Lots of love here to give to a pet. Always first with me. Have a nice place. Closed in deck. Screened in porch. Nice yard and place to walk pet and let them out for bathroom breaks ❤️
About: I’ve been caring for animals over 20 years and am also a licensed veterinary technician. I’m comfortable with reinforcing training, giving medications, and caring for puppies/kittens to senior pets! I’m currently available for drop in visits in the morning and evening. I’d be happy to help care for your pet while you’re away from home! I am happy to follow instructions left by you for your pet while you’re away. Walks, playtime, or short training sessions. I’m also comfortable with administering medications and doing physical therapy exercises for your pet.
“I requested Deann late at night, the day before and she was able to accommodate an early check in and late check out while in town for a visit day at VMCVM. Alice came back happy and seemed to have enjoyed her day with Deann. I highly recommend !!”
“Great help for this out of Towner who came in for a ball game. Sent pictures and kept me updated. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area and need a doggy sitter.”
“Nancy cheerfully agreed to watch our golden on short notice and doggo had no qualms about joining right in w Nancy who she obviously felt was a dog person- got along well w her chill dog. Very easy to work with, no drama, went great- Thanks”
About: I like to take a supervised yet hands-off approach to watching over dogs. That is, letting dogs be their curious and playful selves while making sure they're safe and well taken care of. I've owned dogs my whole life (breeds including portuguese water dog, rottweilers, maltese/poodle mix, terrier mix, schnauzer/poodle mix, and a german shepherd currently) and find that they are happier and better behaved when given freedom to explore and lead rather than be expected to remain obedient and tame at all times. Some pups need more structure and thrive on a little more rigidity though, and I am very capable of meeting whatever their needs are and sticking to what you know is best for their personality. I am easily swooned by all kinds of dogs but am not one to let them use their good looks and charm to get the best of me. I am mostly just excited to hang out with as many of these guys as I can! I do want to be transparent that I work regular hours Mon - Fri, so I cannot stay with your pups 24/7 during the week. That being said, lunch time bathroom breaks are a guarantee! Walks in the morning and in the evening, and a quick potty break in the afternoon! I do have a day job, but your sweet pup will always be my first priority. I have a large backyard and live just a few short minutes from the Huckleberry Trail 🙂 I also have a spacious yard where your furry friend can roam free!
About: I love animals and have been surrounded by large and small animals most of my life. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and am working towards going to Vet school in a few years after accomplishing some other dreams first. I worked as a medical vet technician and as a border at a veterinary clinic for about two part-time summer jobs (during school years). I have the experience of handling small to large dogs , providing food, instructions to meds, and any type of animal care. I have experience in working with puppies and older dogs, ensuring the older dogs get the proper medication as needed on time. At the clinic, my job was designed to ensure the dogs were taken care of during boarding stays, and I helped with any services provided by the veterinarian for their patients'. I greatly advocate for the quality of life for animals and strive to improve their overall well-being. I am currently a professional runner working on my Public Health master's (online) from Oklahoma State while running professionally here at Virginia Tech. My days consist of training once or twice a day for about 1-2 hours (am/pm), but for the rest of the day, I am at home working remotely. I live on a property that consists of a nice fenced-in yard and can let the dog hang out outside or inside safely. Happy to help anyone in need and provide a loving environment for any dog :) It can fit perfectly through my day to day schedule. Only times I am away are for racing and training. Which I can easily fill out on my schedule to ensure I am here when needed to provide the task and duties to helping taking care of someone’s lovely dog. I do not have pets but our leasing owner has some donkeys which I go and take care of at times. I use to live on a farm where I have experience working with farm animals, especially older horses and dogs, taking care of them and providing them comfort. For for when I have my own pets I plan to treat them as my own child making sure they are cared for and their needs are met. For a clients dog I would ensure the same and any instructions given to ensure their dogs are being taken care of .
About: I am a new sitter on Rover, but don’t let that put you off. :) My family has never known a time where we didn’t have pets! When I was five years old, my parents entrusted to me a sweet black kitty for whom I was solely responsible for. Not only did this experience affirm my love for animals, but it also jumpstarted me into a world of responsibility! Since then, we have rescued dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, happily welcoming “bully” breeds and giving them all the love and care they deserve! I’ve cared for elderly dogs and cats with and without disabilities, as well as those who need certain medications or injections. Further, big breeds do not intimidate me- I love them! Perhaps most importantly, I will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! ❤️ I am currently a graduate student at Virginia Tech, and as such, my weekdays are fairly busy until the evenings. If you need overnight care on the weekdays, let me know and we can work something out! I typically have a couple meetings in the mornings that I can conduct on zoom, but I do have in person class from 2-5 that I will need to leave your home for. Fridays and weekends, however, are wide open! I have two sweet, playful cats currently and live in an apartment, so it is likely that care will be provided in your house! I often find this is better anyway, as your pet is already comfortable in their home and less likely to feel stress with change.
About: I personally have a golden doodle, she does not stay with me so if your dog is ever at my townhouse it will just be your animal. I have taken care of animals ever since I could remember locally around my neighborhood. I am a student and also ride horses, Monday and Friday I am out of the house for about two and a half hours in the afternoon and a little less Tuesdays and Thursday. Friday, Saturday and Sunday I have no commitments. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do have a dog park. Every dog is required to be on a leash when taken out of the home and the owners are very respectful about that.
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life. My wife and I currently have 2 shih tzus, and I also have experience taking care of a quaker parrot! Taking care of animals and taking care of customers makes me happy! I am in between jobs. I am excited to help busy people give their precious pets some extra loving! My schedule is 100% flexible to cater to you! I am a proud homeowner and pet owner. I will treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, care, and attention they deserve. I live in a townhome community that has great walking trails and a wonderful courtyard where our pups play with other neighborhood dogs.
About: I been taking cares of dogs, puppies, kitties and cats good amount in my life. I love any type of pet. Big or small. We expect Ginny pigs all to your big dog. Anyone fury friend welcome ❤️ I am open 24 hours except on weekends and some trips coming up. Besides that I’m open 6 days of week and Sunday just depends on my schedule. If it dogs I take on walks or jogging. Play toys each of pets. Wash them up. Make sure their eating their food. If it cats I will brush their fury and give them attention as needy. If it’s small animal like small dogs , puppy and kitties I block some parts off house so no one will get hurt. I watch all pets at all times.
“Alex was awesome! Our pup wasn’t ready to leave her and seemed like he had a great time. Got loads of cute photos too! We will be back!”
About: I play lacrosse at VT so I am very attentive to detail and have grown up with a large family with many pets and people! I am currently on winter break so I am looking to take on another job during this time! I am free most of my days other than when I need to train for lacrosse! I live in an condo style apartment that has access to outside from both the front and back door! There is a walking paved trail right behind my house that I can walk dogs on!

“I have known Nancye for more than ten years, during this time I saw how she took care of her own pet Cinder she spared no expense in the care she needed and she showed her so much love and kindness she treated her just like she was a real child. Nancye just lost her recently and she was devastated, Nancye looks after the neighbors pets, taking them treats and making sure they have food and clean water when their owners do not really pay that much attention to the animals. I don't think you could ask for anyone better to leave your pet with, she truly is an animal lover and an extrodinary caring person.”

15. Madison S.
“I had an outstanding experience with Madison on Rover! From the moment I reached out, Madison was professional, communicative, and incredibly attentive to all our pets’ needs. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dogs…and cats, fish, gecko…were comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. I appreciated the daily updates and photos that helped me feel at ease while I was away. It's clear that Madison has a genuine love for animals and a strong commitment to providing top-notch care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again!" Madison is the ONLY person we will ever let take care of our fur babies! She came highly recommended from others. She is very trustworthy, accommodating, and reliable which are very important, but what is also very important to us is her excellent care for our pet “children.” She is so warm, gentle, friendly, and patient with all of our critters. She plays with and loves on them, talks to them and takes the pups on walks and to the park. Madison has even had to take one of our babies to the vet while we were out of town. It means so much to us that our fur babies are in safe and loving care when we cannot be with them. They all love her! We do too! Rover is lucky to have such a reliable and caring person working for them, as Madison is all that and so much more.”

20. Mary G.
“Mary is one of the most loving and caring people I know with and without animals. Mary has cared for my animals for many years now. As a close friend and neighbor she has helped me in times of need and has shown such love for my pets like I do. She is one of the best pet sitters, I know. She always takes my dogs for long walks, plays with them and keep them occupied. She has great experience of her own growing up with multiple dogs and cats, and is always the first to volunteer to take care of them. She has a beautiful dog named Rudy, who is a handful, but she loves her to death. I would always recommend Mary to my friends and rover. She would be the best pet sitter and walker I know! Her love for animals is contagious!”
