“Rachel is a wonderful cat sitter! My cats were very happy and well taken care of, and even Bella, who is very shy around new people, warmed up to her. Rachel was also very easy to talk to and sent daily updates.”


“Sam was great at communication and adjusting to my schedule when I was out of town. Sam took great care of my cat and made me feel so much better about leaving her for two weeks! Thanks Sam!”


“Katie took care of our cats while we were gone for two weeks. She did an excellent job and is very responsible with good communication. We plan to use her again in the future and would highly recommend her.”


About: Ever since I was born I had an animal right by my side . I have learned to take care of animals and provide for them. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets in the past. I also have worked at a dog daycare called tail chasers so I have experience with big dog groups. I’m good with cats as well . I’m experienced with walking multiple dogs at a time because I got 3 myself. I’m currently working 3:30 am to 12:00 pm so I will have plenty time to spend with your animals. I’m free on the weekends as well . Willing to come to your place to house sit and take care of your animals. I have done that in the past for people. Willing to also stop by and give water, food and walks with some play time on the side .

About: I've had a dog all my life except for the brief interlude (1965-1970) while I served in the Marine Corps. Since my kids have grown and left home my dogs are now my babies. I'm retired and have a lot of time on my hands. I'd like to have the option of caring for someones pet now and then to give me something to do. I love dogs and rarely met a dog that doesn't love me right back. My dogs are almost always with me. Excepting - going to the store in the summer when the temperature in the car would be too hot. I make sure my dogs are safe and comfortable.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Last one a pug for 14 years. Took care of her needs being paralyzed for several years. Had small poodle for 18 years I am retired. Travel at times. Live alone. 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 ❤️

“Gracie has gone above and beyond for my dog Beckley. She is very committed to making sure that my timid little girl is fear-free and unstressed. I highly recommend Gracie and am looking forward to working with her in the future to ensure my dog has the best experiences with her knowledge of training and compassion for animals.”


About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages and understand how to meet their unique needs! Whether it’s a playful puppy in training stages or supporting a senior pup with extra love and patience. I’m dependable, caring, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and have had experience taking care of my own 4 pups! Along with sitting for family and friends over the years. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I currently have a part-time job at Montgomery hospital and attend Radford University during the school year, but I still have plenty of availability outside of classes. A majority of my classes are done by 11 am. And Wednesdays are my busiest/fullest days. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, and I’m great at balancing my responsibilities while making sure pets get the attention and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their usual routines to help the pet feel safe and comfortable. I give lots of attention, playtime, and care, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions! Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite walking routes. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.


“We asked for two schedule changes for the schedule and, as always, Natasha was very nice to accommodate. We’ve used Natasha several times now and very much appreciate her personable approach and great communication.”


About: I have worked at a humane society shelter as a volunteer for years in Michigan. I have fostered animals as well as helped dogs and cats give birth. I have experience with pet sitting and taking care of pets. I believe pets are our children. I have open flexibility and can give many references on how trust worthy i am as i owned a cleaning business here in nrv for 10 plus years licensed and insured. While at a clients home I will make sure the home stays cleaned up from the pet and goes on its normal scheduled walks and or care. While the pet is at my home it will have its own personal area that is kept well and it won't interact with our cats. Walks and playtime will be included.

About: I have been taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have worked at the Humane Society and at a doggy dare care. I have six of my own and travel and do dog sports.

I currently have any availability and can help on holidays too. I'm also available during the summer time. Looking forward to helping with your pup. I have a backyard that has a fence. All my dogs are really good with other dogs. I probably won't do overnight boarding right now.

Nancye D.
“Nancy would be a great asset to the Rover community She is very compassionate,loving person who goes above and beyond when caring for animals, not only her own beloved Cinder that has since passed but her friends and family..my Zena was not used to being left alone when I had to return to work full time,so Nancy came everyday and brought her treats and stayed with her for 30 min and even sent me pics of her playing in the yard which meant the world to me!!!”

Amelia B.
“I can't say enough good things about Amelia and the amazing care she provided for my two beagles! One is a playful 1-year-old and the other is a sweet and lazy 10-year-old. Amelia handled both of them with so much love, patience, and attentiveness. Not only is she incredibly sweet, but she also went above and beyond while I was away. I came home to a spotless house and two happy pups. She even tackled the nearly impossible task of bathing one of my dogs after she was sprayed by a skunk—something I wouldn’t wish on anyone! Amelia handled it with grace and made sure my pup was clean and comfortable. It's such a relief knowing I have someone I can truly trust with my dogs and my home. Amelia is everything you'd want in a pet sitter! She is caring, responsible, and just a genuinely wonderful person. I Highly, highly recommend her!!!”

Nikki P.
“Nikki is a hard worker with a knack for reading canine body language and emotions. Nikki's calm presence keeps even the most anxious dogs at ease. She has been around dogs for 20+ years and has the added bonus of training her own personal dogs in multiple types of dog sports such as frisbee, flyball and obedience. But dogs aren't her only specialty! No, Nikki is unique in that she's had experience with the whole gambit of pets you may have in your household all the way down from a rat or mouse to something as large as a horse in your backyard. Nikki will always go above and beyond to make sure an animal is always taken care of in the best way possible - whether they be her own or a client's. I highly recommend Nikki for any of your pet sitting needs!”


Breeane M.
“Bree is responsible and loving. She has had many pets of her own and she often takes care of my dog (the longest being one week). When Bree is around my dog she takes her everywhere, teaches her tricks, plays, and grooms her. My dog is always excited to see Bree and I don’t worry knowing Bree takes great care of her. I highly recommend Bree!”
