House Sitting in Blacksburg

“Seneca is great! She kept to the scheduled, spent lots of time playing with the pups, and sent us pictures for updates. We’re happy we found her and will definitely book again!!”

“Sam was wonderful! She was able to stay with George on short notice after other plans fell through. She kept me updated while I was away and took great care of George. Highly recommend and would be happy to have her stay with George again.”

“Raechel did an amazing job of watching our 2 dogs for an entire week. She sent us pics of our dogs and let us know how they were doing. Was super nice to come home to some relaxed dogs and know they were well taken care of.”

“Arwen could not have been sweeter. She kept our very anxious dog company while we were gone for the day. She sent pictures and reassured us that he was doing great. I would 100% recommend Arwen in a heartbeat!”

“Alyssa went above and beyond for me and Ravin! I’m the definition of crazy dog mom and Ravin is a little peculiar and Alyssa was wonderful with both of us, keeping me updating and sending my videos and pictures of their time together! Would def recommend!”

“Alicia dog sat our two dogs at our home for 5 days. We were super happy with how flexible she was and her ability to give meds to our anxious dog. Definitely will book again for our next trip :) Thank you!”

“The somewhat desperate feeling of having your dog’s boarding plan fall through lands you on Rover.com just days before you’re supposed to leave town. This is not where I wanted to be – having to let a stranger watch my home and dog, handing over the keys and saying prayers. Instead, I said a prayer first, and I landed on the smiling face of Deann. She was an angel! Confident, prepared, kind, experienced, the list of good qualities goes on and on. I immediately felt at ease and our dog took to her as soon as she walked in our door for our introduction. Deann took pictures, communicated, and provided text updates at least once a day and I stopped worrying. That’s maybe the best compliment I can post here – I stopped worrying and had a great time on our trip because Deann had it completely under control.”

“Claire did an excellent job dog and house sitting! We came back home to happy dogs and a clean home. We hope to use Claire more in the future.”

“Caleb is an extremely reliable and responsible dog sitter. He helped care for our two dogs several times when we were out of town. I never had to check up on him and always knew our pets were well taken care of, and loved on. Caleb is very trustworthy in our home and always left it nicer than he found it! He is a nice young man and your pets would be very well cared for.”

“Jason was very nice with our pets. They clearly like him a lot.”

“Ruby is a fun and caring dog owner who loves her dog more than anything. She is a former student athlete so she is very active and responsible, and able to reliably make sure her dog gets enough exercise. She takes care to feed her dog right with good food and cuddles with her all the time. Your dog would be lucky to get to hang out with Ruby!”

“Clara is one of the sweetest and most patient petsitters I've had. My cat is used to a full house and lots of attention, so when we go out of town he gets nervous. Clara takes the time to let him warm up to her and takes the time to play with him which means a lot to us! I also know she fosters dogs, some with health and behavioral problems but she's excellent with them. The amount of patience she has is phenomenal and you can tell she really loves what she does!”

“Katie is a great pet and house sitter! I just moved to the area with 2 cats, and unfortunately had to go on a work trip soon after. She came a couple of times while I was in town to get to know the cats then house sat while I was gone. I could tell right away things would be good as she was patient with the cats and the more social one was already warming up to her on her first visit. She texted me photo and text updates throughout her stay, and left the apartment just as clean when she left. Great communication, great with the cats, and I highly recommend, 5 stars all around!!”

“Caroline was a great sitter! She kept us updated on our dog Doodlebug throughout our trip and gave us peace of mind that our dog was safe and happy. We hope to have her pet sit again in the future!”

“Olivia took amazing care of our pets while we were away. She sent regular updates and pics! We greatly appreciate her taking such good care of our pets and highly recommend her!!”

“Camille Mitchell, an aspiring veterinarian and longtime pet owner, has recently applied to Rover. However, her adoration and keen sense of responsibility for animals has been longstanding. Growing up in a household with two parents who are veterinarians and 12 animals, she was exposed to an immense of animal accountability at an early age. Spending her weekends and summers working at her local vet clinic, she was responsible for feeding, cleaning, grooming, and walking animals with a wide variety or personalities. In addition to her hometown clinic, she has worked at Virginia Tech’s vet hospital for over year. I would have utter confidence in Camille with watching over my animals.”

“Linnea was amazing while watching our dogs. My girl Mickie is fairly aloof of new people and I was so pleased to see she actually snuggled with Linnea on the couch. We will definitely use her again and we highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

“Zach has worked for our Blue Ridge Vet facility for a while. In our Vet side, as well in the Pet Resort. He is very thorough in care, dependable, knowledgeable, and responsible. He always has been an A+ employee, and will always be welcomed here. He takes time to interact with the pets, it is not just a job to him, you can always tell he genuinely enjoys working with and caring for animals.”

“Cheyenna did such a great job caring for our home and our kitties while we were away! She gave great updates and sent pictures daily, and you can tell that she genuinely cares about taking great care of the pets in her charge! We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“Kayla was great with our 2 puppies! Loved she sent us some great photos, too! Look forward to having her take care of Spencer & Auzzie in the future!”
