“Keshia was amazing! She left wonderfully detailed notes and it was great to feel like the person taking care of our girl actually cared! I highly recommend Lakeshia and will definitely be using her services in the future!”

About: Hello, I have been taking care of a wide range of animals since I was 15. I’ve had 5 ferrets, guinea pigs, cats and dogs my whole life. I have a Staffordshire terrier, an American bully, and a black lab/ leopard catahoula mix. I am used to having a heavy dog on the opposite end of the leash and I am well experienced in animal body language to keep your baby and myself safe. I am currently looking for a full time job as a stay at home mom. Right now I am available during the day. The only times I will not be available is from 7:50- 8:10 am and 3:40-4:00 I will make sure any and all instructions are followed correctly to ensure adequate and safe service. Plus a few head rubs before I left.

About: I have ample room and time to love on your fur babies!! I currently do not have any dogs but love them all! I also have a basement with a separate gate if your pet needs space by itself. I live close to the mountains so if you want to take the day to hike/explore sperryville I am your go to:) I work from home and love my animals!! I am fortunate to have the flexibility to take care of my farm animals and others when needed. I own a small farm with plenty of space for walking and also have a fenced in garden than I can use during the colder months for secure play for dogs.


“Ronda is everything I could want in a cat sitter--she is professional, experienced, communicates quickly and clearly, and gives a detailed update and photos for each visit. She listened closely to my concerns about my elderly kitty's behaviors and kept a close eye on her, keeping me well informed during each visit on any changes. Knowing my kitty was in Ronda's competent & loving care allowed me to put my full focus on the purpose of my travels. 100% five star service. I highly recommend Ronda to anyone in need of a reliable, knowlegeable, and caring cat sitter who clearly "understands the assignment"!”


“Ashley is the best person you can have caring for your babies. She went above and beyond for an entire week for my various pets, which included poultry- even in bad weather! I am so grateful to her and highly recommend her for any pets you have.”


About: I’ve been around various animals and cared for (most) of them all of my life - dogs, cats, chickens, fish, birds, hamsters, reptiles (more recently), etc. I’ve pet sat for people in the past. I also own my own Great Pyrenees who I got from a shelter. I’ve also taught him a variety of tricks (most recent as of writing this being ‘spin’). I work as a counselor ‘full time’ but my schedule can be flexible. I usually work in Orange/culpeper, but I myself live in Orange. I’m typically busy around noon at times, but I primarily work in the evening/early night. I have no issues with doing walks or drop ins when I’m able to, whether it’s earlier in the afternoon or early evening. I also have no issues walking/drop ins at night. I can also do morning drop ins depending on date, time, and location. I have no issues doing almost anything that is asked of me - feeding/water, walking, waste disposal, etc. I’m also familiar with giving pills to dogs as my GP is medicated himself. But I have trained him to open his mouth for me and to swallow his pills.

“Noeli dropped by to take care of my pups after I had to go out of town for the day at the last minute. She was punctual and took great care of both of my dogs. She even took great care with my dog who was recently spayed and on sedatives.”



“Absolutely terrific! She was reliable, communicative, and caring. Our dogs, even our asshole chihuahua, took to her immediately! We will definitely use Kimberly again. Thanks for taking such good care of our boys, Kimberly ?”


About: I love animals. I will take the best care of your pet. I'm fine with handling aggressive ones and bigger dogs too. I've taken care of animals all my life, so you can travel without a worry. Right now I'm open any day and time. I can overnight stay and house sit as well. I'm a fan of cats and other animals too. I'll follow your instructions to the letter. I will always call for questions and not assume something on your property. I'm fine with taking videos and pictures

“Mikayla is great! Highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. She is super attentive and will love your babies as her own. She took care of my 3, 2 German Shepherds & a cocker spaniel, she did an excellent job, took them on walks 3 times a day right on time and made sure they were well feed and had clean water. Played and spend time with them at each visit, that when we got back we knew that they were well taken care of and happy! Mikayla fills out the Rover card each time and includes a lot of pictures-which I love because I get to see how much fun they we having and be part of their day. Thank you Mikayla for everything! We appreciate all your help and look forward to booking again in the future!”


About: If you have any questions about my services please reach out to me. I am willing to be as flexible as I can. Since I am in school through Monday - Friday. But I am available all day and all night on the weekends. I have my own pet. He is a rag-doll cat and he requires a lot of attention throughout the day which I love because he is very interactive. I love to cuddle with my pet and any other animals that I can get the opportunity to cuddle and pet. I love playing, walking and just simply hanging out with any pets.

About: Animals—especially dogs—are my passion! I have over a decade of experience pet-sitting and grooming dogs, and have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and sizes in my home since I was very young. I have always been particularly passionate about caring for and working with dogs. I am the proud owner of two Australian Shepherds, who I enjoy training in behavior and agility. If you're in need of someone who is loving, patient and trustworthy to look after your dog(s), please don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to having the opportunity to care for your beloved fur babies, and promise to love them like they’re my own while you’re away. *I have experience working as a dog groomer—I offer bathing services at an additional cost! Feel free to ask.* I currently work remotely full time, so I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide attentive care to your dog(s). I have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly Australian Shepherds to keep your dog company. Your dog will have as much supervised outside play time as they would like, and will have free roam of the main floor of my house at other times. If you prefer your pet to be crated at times, just let me know your preference and I’ll be happy to accommodate. ***Note: to avoid stomach upset/any allergic reactions, dogs in my care will ONLY be given food and/or treats supplied and approved by their owner. Additionally, to help protect my family, home and other dogs in my care, I ask that owners please ensure their dogs are up to date with flea/tick/worm preventative. If parasites are found, a $100 cleaning fee will apply.***

“Courtney was awesome! She came to visit prior to her drop in so I could introduce her to Walter and go over some things. During her drop in she sent me a bunch of pictures and gave me a whole run down as to what they did. It was truly a blessed feeling that he was being taken care of well!!!”

“Dominique was professional and friendly, arrived on time for all visits, and kept me updated. She took great care of my dogs and cats. I would recommend her for your pet care needs!”

Canterbury pet parents share their Rover experiences
First time using Rover and I'm very pleased with my experience. Mikaela is not only sweet but also has experience with large breed dogs which made me more comfortable since my girl can be intimidating to some. She sent lots of pics and let me know when she arrived. I'll definitely be reaching out to her again.
