“Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my cat and dog. Both pets got played with, taken care of, etc. Taylor also took my last minute request (which was awesome). If I need to leave town again I'm planning ahead so Taylor is available!”

“Destiny was reliable and did a great job. I will definitely hire her again!”

“Ayme has been our go-to cat sitter for a couple of years. Even our scaredy cat boy who is afraid of everyone loves her. The pictures she shared every day show that the cats are well loved and taken care of.”

About: I've raised dogs my whole life. Everything from cocker spaniels to a golden retriever. I recently upped the difficulty by training our puppy to be a service animal. Happy to play, cuddle, or just let them have a quiet place to settle. I have no problems taking care of your baby. While I'm newer to cats my partner has fostered kittens to elderly cats and is passing on their knowledge. I am currently full time at home so I have a very open schedule to help your fur baby with all those difficult times when you can't be with them. Your home and your fur baby will be treated with complete respect. I understand that I am being trusted with one of your most precious possessions.

“Quick response time following initial booking request. Asked questions re: care instructions. Provided the care.”

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for most of my life. My family and friends have always counted on me to care for our/their pets when needed. I have walked, bathed, fed, snuggled and played with them! I am a full time worker, five days a week, nine hours a day from 9AM to 6PM. And I also have a part-time job that I do on the weekends, but I am still open to any service I could possibly provide for you and your pet! I receive my part-time job schedule weekly schedule every Saturday, so communication is key. I will care for your pets in your home by providing them the care that they need, walks, runs, snuggles, playtime, you name it! If there is anything specific you want me to know or abide by please let me know and I will make sure you and your pet are left satisfied :)

“Kay was a fantastic help and super communicative. I really appreciated all of the notes and photos taken while we were away from our two cats and never stressed once about how they were doing. I would highly recommend Kay to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for most of my life and already occasionally pet sit for friends and family. I used to work as a caretaker at a doggy daycare, and decided to continue pet care alongside my new job as it became such a fulfilling part of my life. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and I'm experienced with a variety of other animals such as cats, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, and hermit crabs. My current work schedule follows the standard Mon-Fri 8-5, with most of my weekends and evenings open. Because of this, I'd be most suited for pets that are used to this schedule already. Otherwise, I try my best to stick to their current schedule for things like feeding and walks. I always feel comfortable meeting the parent(s) and pet before the booking. I can take care of all basic tasks and am very adaptable, patient, and reliable. I do my best to learn about each pet's little mannerisms and quirks so I can accommodate them the best I can while keeping them and your home safe. I want to make sure both you and your pet end up happy! I always ask that I'm given the pet's vet and an emergency contact as well, just in case.

“First time having Nick care for our fur babies! Nick is a great young man who clearly loves animals. He was punctual for our meet and greet as well as drop in visit to care for our pups! Would highly recommend and will definitely be calling on him for future needs!”

“Newish to RVA and first time using Rover. Alyssa was great with my 13yo kitty, Rizzo. She was professional, timely, and communicative. I loved receiving daily photos and updates while I was traveling. Knowing Alyssa was watching my baby gave me peace of mind. I would rebook Alyssa without hesitation!”

Brigitte K.

“Sidney is great! Super friendly and not bothered by my wacky dogs and their little issues. She arrived right on time and sent cute pics! Will definitely book with her again.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

“Danielle did an excellent job with Otis, kept me updated with pics and videos from her visits. He's not always the quickest to warm up but seemed to take to her on her first visit! Came home to a happy, healthy boy. Would definitely book her to look after him again!”

About: I'll love your babies like they're my own. Have done plenty of pet sitting and pet care. Tell me your pet's needs and I'll do all I can to make them comfortable while you're away! I work full time currently and will transition to full time student in Fall 2026. I'll have more flexibility when I return to school but for the summer, I'll be able to help you out on evenings and weekends. Happy to do overnight stays with early AM care and PM care after 5p. Please provide detailed instructions about how I can care for your pet(s). If I have questions or cannot meet their needs, I will communicate with you to ensure I am the right fit.

“Jasmine was very kind enough to see our Layla beforehand to make sure she would get along. She updated us as she did her visits and had some of the best photos of her while we were gone for the weekend. Great first experience and will definitely book in the future as needed.”

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on professional experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I previously worked at a kennel-free dog boarding facility, where I helped care for multiple dogs at once in a safe, supervised environment. I’ve also worked as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, providing daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, and lots of attention and playtime. Animals have always been part of my life—I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently care for my own pets as well. Because of my background in both professional animal care and customer service, I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. What you can expect when your pet is with me: • Reliable, on-time care • Regular photo and text updates • Safe handling for dogs with different temperaments • Experience with multi-dog households • Lots of attention, enrichment, and play Whether your dog needs a walk while you’re at work, drop-in visits while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid office jobs with very flexible hours. When I do go into the office, my office is dog friendly so I can bring a furry friend along if they enjoy the socialization! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and enrichment they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just companionship. I also make sure basics like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and litter boxes are taken care of. For dog walks, I focus on safe handling, appropriate exercise for your dog’s energy level, and making sure they return home happy and settled. I always send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while keeping you informed and at ease.

About: Hi my name is Joyce and I love working with animals as I have many animals of my own. I have a pup, a baby hamster, a turtle and a school of fish. I love animals and I treat them like they are my children. My skills are walking my pup (this includes a nice walk, and picking up their feces with a plastic bag), bathing them when needed, feeding them and playing with them. I make sure my fish and turtle are fed and their tanks are cleaned and up to date. I also make sure my hamster is fed and his cage is cleaned and up to date. All other animals are treated the same with lots of loyalty, much respect and lots of love. I’m currently working part-time on the weekends, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and show them all the attention they need! I Have two friendly pups that will keep your fur baby company! But if your dog don’t get along with other dogs I can keep them separated to make your fur baby is more comfortable. I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups and give them all the attention they need!! :) :) I have a nice size back yard and I also got a pup of my own that can keep your fur baby company! She’s very playful and If needed I can easily crate her.
