About: I’m currently active duty Air Force, newly stationed in Hampton, VA. Since I can’t have pets in the dorms, caring for yours is the next best thing and honestly, it makes my day every time I get to spend time with animals. Before moving here, I volunteered for several years at nonprofit rescues that specialize in disabled and special-needs animals. My responsibilities included feeding, bathing, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, refreshing bedding, and making sure each animal got individual attention and affection. I also assisted with basic grooming, gentle handling for nervous pets, and light training reinforcement during play or walks. Since moving to Virginia, I’ve been volunteering at The Cat Corner in Hampton, where I work exclusively with cats. I help with feeding, litter changes, sanitizing enclosures, and socializing cats to prepare them for adoption. It’s helped me become especially good at reading feline body language and handling shy or anxious cats. I also have experience with house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, and snake sitting, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, going for long walks, keeping up with playtime, or sending regular photo updates. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their people are away. When I’m not working or volunteering, I love spending time outdoors, reading, cooking, going to the gym, and exploring Virginia. I’m also working toward becoming a lawyer while continuing my military career and of course, always finding ways to stay close to animals and help those in need. I’d love to help care for your pets like they’re my own with patience, reliability, flexibility, and plenty of love. I’m currently in the military, so my schedule varies often. However I am more than able to take care of your fur babies either in the morning, afternoon, and the evening. I am more than happy to care for your pets at your home, however my cats are still adjusting to getting adopted! I will keep your baby on their schedule with eating and using the restroom, but if you’d like anything else added, please don’t hesitate!
“Cassaundra was absolutely wonderful. She kept me updated with photos while we were gone and made sure our animals were loved and cared for. She also went the extra mile and cleaned our house which looked even better than when we left it! Will definitely book her again to house sit when we’re out of town.”
“Words can’t even express how grateful we are that we found Ashley. She truly cares for pets and it was so relieving to know they were well cared for while we had a trip for a family member in the hospital. It was one less thing to worry about, which is exactly what we needed. She was always at our home several times a day and took time with them giving companionship which was so important to us. Our kids really are thankful for her sending updates about their fay and photos & videos of the pets. It made them smile each time. It’s just so sweet to see how much she cares and helped our family.”
“Robin was absolutely wonderful. She is so patient, kind and attentive. The care she gave our old, sweet girl was impeccable. We recommend her wholeheartedly ❤️ Thank you, Robin!”

“Jennerifer was 20/10. We were struggling to find someone who would stay at our house and hang out with our kids. From the moment we met Jennifer she was so kind, professional, organized, and clearly loved animals. Her communication was phenomenal from the meet and greet to the moment we came home. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. We will 1,000% be asking her to come back in the future!”
“Nikki was amazing with Bailey. Lots of pics and updates. I could tell he was loving it up and not missing us at all. We were gone for a week. Definitely will use Nikki in the future.”
“Halley was awesome! Super responsive and very kind. She treated our house with respect and our little beagle was a happy fella when we got home! Hoping to stay in touch with Halley for our dog sitting!”

About: I am a licensed attorney by day and lifelong animal lover at heart. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule while spending time in Virginia helping and supporting my mother as she approaches retirement. My flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day, evenings, and overnight stays. I began my own small dog-walking business in San Francisco while I was in college and later worked through Rover walking large-breed dogs and cat-sitting while studying for the California Bar Exam and working as a paralegal. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs, but I especially love giant breeds like Great Danes. I also adore cats and currently have my own beloved cat, DJ Mustard, who has made me even more attentive to feline personalities, routines, and comfort. Animals have always brought joy and grounding to my life. I believe pets deserve patient, loving, observant care and that owners should feel completely comfortable while away from home. I am calm, responsible, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routines. For overnight stays, I also offer optional extras at a bargain cost including homemade pet treats from recipes I have developed myself as well as seasonal or holiday-themed pet portraits and photos. I offer discounts for teachers and service members in honor of my mother, who is a teacher, and my grandfather, who served in the United States Navy. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, medication, overnight comfort, or simply someone dependable and kind, I would love the opportunity to care for them. As a remote professional with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine through walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, overnight care, and check-ins. Licensed attorney with extensive background checks who provides attentive in-home pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, companionship, overnight support, and thoughtful communication updates.
Buckroe pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sierra was incredibly competent, understanding, and could not be a better addition into my dog's life and regime. She's handled complicated and unusual situations with the poise of a seasoned professional, and I wouldn't have even expected to ask the level of time and effort she put in. I'm glad she likes us, because she's definitely stuck with us for a while.
Trevor was amazing! A last minute need to go out of town was made SO much easier because of his willingness to jump in and help. He made the time to meet us beforehand and asked great questions. Our pets were not only taken care of but loved in our absence and we are very grateful.
I could not have asked for a better dog sitter!!! She went above and beyond with the care she provided to my baby!!! From the moment I met her at our meet and greet, it was evident how knowledgeable and experienced she is with pet care. She didn’t bat an eye at the extra care Luna needs for some health issues and she was comfortable administering Luna’s medicine. I had complete peace of mind while I was out of town with the many updates, pictures, and even videos Ashley would send to me!! I cannot recommend her enough!!! I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Ashley!!!
Thank goodness we found Kynleigh when we did! Kynleigh went above and beyond to make our five year old, often a handful, labradoodle, comfortable (and happy :) while we were gone. She sent pictures and videos every day and we even came home to a clean home and sheets-- thank you, Kynleigh! We will be using her next time and feel fortunate we now can!
David supported my last minute request to watch my four pups. He was very respectful, responsive and on time. The task to take care of my pup with IVDD, without training had to be hard for David, but he tackled it to the best of his ability. My only complaint is that he did not place a new potty pad underneath her before he left. Overall, my case was special, but nothing a little training can’t fix.
