Pet Sitting Casanova

“Zach was great! He attended to every detail that we discussed. Our two cats were very happy, I could tell by all of the pictures that he sent. One of our cats is very shy and I told him that he may not see her. I was wrong. He sent us two pictures of her poking her head out and the third picture was her enjoying some pets and scratches. Our other cat had a great time playing and also getting pets and scratches. I’m a happy kitty mom! We will definitely book with Zach again😊”

About: Since a young age, I had always been the go to person for my friends, family, and often times neighbors as well for pet-sitting. From care-taking for a friends tortoise for over 8 years, to having a rabbit, birds, dogs, and more myself, leads me to have such a deep rooted passion and interest for care-taking, spending time, and bonding with all ranges of sizes and ages of pets! As of right now, I am dedicated to being available as often and frequent as possible for pet-sitting, walking, and/or care taking. My current schedule outside of these things are very flexible for now, so if ever needed, please send a direct message and we can work things out! I have a lot of previous experience in caring for all kinds of animals with a ranging variety of needs, whether a senior animal who needs more attention, carefulness, and patience; or a small puppy who is exploding with energy and needs to direct it elsewhere! Any notes, tips, and personal preferences are always appreciated as well when it comes to your pet and how they need to be cared for. (:

“Heather took exceptional care of our cat while we were on vacation for 2 weeks! She came every other day to replenish food/water, clean out the litter box, and replace towels on the floor since our cat is now peeing on the carpet. (She even did a laundry load of towels-going above and beyond!) She stayed at least 30 minutes and sent me several pictures each visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone and we will certainly use her again!”

“Brooke did a great job with drop-in visits. She was so responsive and sent great pictures of our pup.”

About: Hello, I am jasmine and I have watched family dogs and friends dogs I enjoys playing and walking the with the dogs and just having fun the the dogs. I am currently working a part time job, I am out of school currently and I will make sure if you need me I am free and able to watch your dog or cat. I will make sure I take and rules or guidelines you have for your dog or cat stay into play I will respectfully make sure that your rules are followed and that the dogs still have fun and will be happy.

About: I have had dogs, kitties, bunnies & hamsters my entire life. I have a big goofy lab of my own who is my world so I understand the hesitance of entrusting strangers to take care of your furry family members. I take pride in treating other people’s pets as I would my own, while also respecting boundaries & rules put in place by you as their owners. I am currently only available for drop ins & walks and would love to help take care of your beloved pets 💛 I am currently transitioning out of active duty military and hoping to use rover as part time work. My schedule is very open & flexible to meet your needs. I can crate your dog, walk your dog, play or provide enrichment time, feeding or administering medications as needed. Happy to help enforce minimal training during a pop-in to maintain consistency.

“Madison is superb. She’s incredibly responsive and responsible. We were nervous about leaving our pups behind and concerned we might have trouble finding someone brave AND loving enough to care for the bully breed. Madison didn’t flinch and our dogs took to her immediately. She is professional, kind, punctual, caring, and will even send photos, which is incredibly thoughtful and reassuring. We won’t hesitate to rely on Madison in the future and highly recommend her services to others.”

About: Hiii pet parents! 🐾 Looking for a super fun, safe, loving environment for your pup while you’re away? 🐶🌳 *If it says we aren’t available, please feel free to message us anyways, as we may be able to accommodate it!* A little about us… Austin and I have loved all animals our entire life, with a special love for dogs. We have the sweetest pups of our own and they really are the heart of our home. We have been dog-sitting for friends & family for years before we decided to make it a full-time endeavor! We live on a beautiful, fenced in acre in Nokesville which offers a safe haven where all dogs can enjoy endless play and exploration. We understand the love and concern you have for your dogs, and how being apart from them can cause stress and anxiety. Rest assured, we’re here to ease your mind, giving you our word that we will love and care for your pets as if they were our own! We will send lots of videos and pictures and update as much as we can! Let your pup enjoy a fun, playful vacation while you relax on yours! ☀️ We are super flexible with drop-off/pick-up times, we don’t have “set times.” However, there are certain days few and far between that we aren’t able to do early morning drop offs, we ask that in return you are also flexible with us! Austin and I have alternating work schedules, meaning one of us is always home to provide constant care and attention to your pups full time! If we do have to step out of the house for a little bit, we also have thoroughly experienced (and background checked) employees that help us out here and there so your pup never has to be alone! Safety is our number one priority. We are very well versed in dog body language, signals, etc… We make sure that every dog we accept gets along with other dogs and we properly introduce every dog to the others. We allow all of our furry friends to have free rein of the house and roam freely, however we do have comfy crates available for those pups that prefer their own space sometimes! For your dogs safety, we do separate or crate (depending on the dog) all of the dogs during feeding time, if we have to step out of the house (very rarely), and to sleep. We can be very flexible and accommodating if your dog has special needs/requests. The pups are allowed on the furniture at our house, but we are happy to reinforce your rules here if requested. Please let me know if your dog has ANY history of aggression towards other dogs, humans, food aggression, etc.

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, including adopted and rescue animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have special experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets. I adopted a very elderly, sick dog who required frequent medication and attentive daily care, and I also cared for my cat through medical needs that required consistent medication. I’m currently a devoted dog mom to Graci, a two-year-old Labrador, and a proud grandmom to Zoey, a two-year-old mini Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix. Caring for animals has given me hands-on experience with walks, feeding routines, playtime, medication schedules, close supervision and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that rescue animals and senior pets may need additional patience, consistency and time to build trust. I’m also a retired federal professional known for being dependable, observant and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and your home—is a very personal decision. I will follow your instructions carefully, communicate consistently and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Important Booking Policies & Rates 🐾 Please review my standard hours and specialized rates before booking: * Extended Daycare Policy: My standard daycare rate covers up to 10 hours of care. Any daycare stay that exceeds 10 hours will automatically be upgraded to my Boarding Rate for that day. * Puppy Care Fee: Because puppies require extra attention, frequent potty breaks, and constant supervision, a +$15 puppy fee applies per day/visit for any dog under 1 year old. This fee applies to all Daycare, Boarding, and Dog Walking requests. Note: Rover automatically calculates the puppy rate for some services, but if it doesn't apply correctly to your request, I will manually modify the total to reflect these policies before finalizing the booking. Thank you for understanding! “Continuing my professional development” sounds more natural and polished than “pursuing additional courses.” I’m currently taking a professional break while continuing my professional development, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pet with attentive, loving care. I’m home much of the day and can easily accommodate feeding, playtime, medication, cuddles, and your pet’s normal routine. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. I have one friendly Labrador who gets along well with other dogs and can be crated or kept separately if needed. My neighborhood is great for safe, leashed walks, and I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines.

“Courtney was amazing! This was the first time we have had to leave our dogs with someone other than family, so we were a little nervous since our dogs can be a handful with their anxieties. The first time our dogs met her, they were already comfortable with her. Throughout our vacation she was always in touch with us and sent us pictures. Even though we are back now, the dogs still look excitedly in the morning to see if she is coming, so we will definitely be using Courtney again in the future!”

Matt H.

“Theresa was amazing! She took such good care of my babies and updated me on how they were doing each visit. Very thorough and my cats loved her!”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from a young age. I have experience with pitbulls, chihuahuas, sharpei's, st. bernard's, weiner dogs, cane corso's, bulldogs, and golden retrievers. Growing up i had 4 dogs and fostered many more! I'm a 19 year old college student taking summer classes online and looking for some part time work. I do not have any other job and all my classes are online so i basically have availability whenever! Whatever routine you have set for your pet works perfectly fine for me! I was a nanny for a few years so i can keep a good eye on your pet if need be haha

“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”

About: After proudly serving in the military, I decided it was time for a change. Changing careers has opened up my schedule, giving me the opportunity to fill my time with activities I truly enjoy—especially spending quality time with the purest type of love you can get from your fur babies. I have a natural instinct to be protective. Your fur babies will be in good hands with me. I’m comfortable staying calm and stepping in when situations become stressful, including separating dogs if a conflict occurs. I also have some background experience in law enforcement. The reason I mention this is because, with me, you’re not only getting a dog sitter—you’re also getting someone you can trust to look after your home while you’re away. Safety is always my number one priority to those around me. As you look through my photos, you’ll notice several dogs I’ve known and cared for since they were puppies. I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to family, friends, and coworkers over the years. This is simply my first time offering those services through an app. I’d be more than happy to share stories about some of my favorite four-legged friends if you’d like to continue the conversation. They all hold a special place in my heart, and I genuinely loved spending time with them. The Siberian Husky in the photos is my sweet fur baby, Niko. It has been a couple of years since his passing, but he will always have a special place in my heart. Niko was a very loving and gentle Husky. He got along with everyone, loved wrestling with other dogs at the dog park, and enjoyed going on long walks. He was also by my side through some of the hardest times in my life. I’m not quite ready to take on the full responsibility of owning another dog, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to build a special bond with your fur baby. I hope to give them the same love, attention, and companionship I gave Niko. Working a full time job. I can possibly do Thursday evenings. I have some Fridays off/get off early from work. I’m off Saturdays and Sundays. I can be even more flexible, depending on location. I have had dogs stay with me in the past, but I am currently renting and unable to provide that service as of now. I’m available to provide love and care to your fur baby in your home, if you’d like.

About: Unfortunately, working and moving a lot. I cannot give the best life to my dog and cat anymore. I had to leave them with my brother but I would love to give some support to pet owners who are busy due to work and life. Monday to Friday after 6 pm. Weekends and holidays all day long. I love going for walks, feed them, or I have them over the weekend. I would love to give a house and take care of pets in my apartment. I live by myself, but I work a 9-5 job.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in high school, so I have over 10 years of experience pet sitting and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve always genuinely loved being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, keeping up with routines, and of course giving plenty of attention and cuddles! I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention and cuddles. Since I’m home most of the day, your pet will have lots of company and I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate their normal routine and needs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy plenty of outdoor time, play, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and daily routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while they’re away from home. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles!
