“Katie did a phenomenal job checking in on our cat! Each visit, she took a nice handful of photos, provided detailed notes on the visit, and spent quality time with our grumpy old lady, determined to win her over. She was also very tidy and washed out previous dinner bowls unprompted.”


About: I am a college student at Virginia Tech who loves to take care of pets. I have 8+ years of pet-sitting experience. I also am a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital in Richmond, VA, so I am very knowledgeable of proper, loving care of dogs and cats! As a student, I have classes most days, but I am frequently at home during the week and almost always at home on the weekends. I am also a very active person who loves to take dogs on walks. I wake up early, so early walks or feeding is not a problem at all. I live in a townhome in Blacksburg that has a private fenced in courtyard as well as a big open grass area behind my house, perfect for potty trips and fetch.

About: I have cared for several work friend's pets, including someone who had 7 medium-large dogs with a laundry list of special accommodations and medications needed I am an Army Veteran going to college, this leaves my afternoons and weekends completely free. I can alter the rest of my schedule to accommodate your pet I have a dog and cat of my own, so I have experience with the difference in the needs and behaviors of the two most common household pets. I care for their physical as well as their mental health to the best of my ability. I strive to care for all animals the same way.

About: I have owned cats and dogs since I was little. As an adult, my first major job was a veterinary assistant for 3 years while going through college. I previously owned medically complex cat (with plans to adopt another one eventually), so I understand the stress that comes with leaving your best friend and family in the care of another. I strive to have great communication and provide updates as needed and wanted! Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your animals while you are away! I work in Blacksburg full-time, which does restrict my sitting ability. I primarily stick to cat drop-ins and overnight sits for both dogs and cats. My full attention will be on your pet and their needs. I take care to keep exactly to your pet's routine to make the time you are away easiest. I carry my own pet sitter insurance through Pet Care Insurance for both housitting and dog walking.

“Morgan is THE BEST cat sitter that we’ve had while using Rover, she went above and beyond! She was timely, great with communication and took the best photos of our fluffy boy! Thank you so much and we will definitely use her again. We highly recommend Morgan!”


About: I’ve helped my mom pet sit her German shepherd for a year and I handled it well. I learned how to feed him properly and took care of him responsibly. I will be mostly available in the afternoon. Once school start, I will be mostly available during the weekends. Feel free to check with me on availability otherwise. I make sure to walk my dog at least three times a day and feed him the right amount of food at least two times a day. I will make sure to respect others when taking him outside and stop any improper behavior in time. I regularly buy him treats and toys.

“Jessica took such great care of my cat! She was ready and willing to learn how to administer his inhaler, medication, and special food. She spent time giving him lots of love and making sure to always give me thorough updates. I definitely will be using her next time I go on vacation!”



“Gillian was an amazing pet sitter for Bubu! She was very attentive, friendly, and great with communication. It’s clear that she loves animals- and loves taking care of them as well. I came home to a very happy kitty!!! :)”


About: I grew up with my dogs my whole life I'm very very comfortable with almost any dog and dogs tend to feel the same with me. I've delt with lap dogs to family retrievers to larger aggressive dogs Along with that I'm young and have allot of energy haha so I'll definitely take your dog to the park and play with them till there tired If u want someone who you can trust with your dog I'm the person for you. It's not issue at all I normally have plenty of time available if I'm not with my daughter or taking care of my own dog or at work. In my own house I have a fenced in yard and a park down the street I can go to alot. Dog park is not far either. If u have plenty of room at your house however that may just be fine.

“Lexie was amazing with our dog Rigsby. She cared for him as if he was part of her family and made sure to give him plenty of play time and affection while we were out of town. She even accepted the reservation at the last minute and agreed to help for an extra day when our flight was delayed. We can’t recommend her enough!”


About: I have plenty of pet care experience from my own pets and taking care of other pets as well. My experience ranges from dogs all the way to fish so I can take it all. I currently work at Kroger, but I’m looking to have some extra money so I can plan to start moving out. My work days are outlined on the calendar. I have a dog of my own who I care for along with my family. For client homes it will depend on the service but I will do my best to care for your pet as best as possible.

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 also got an amzaning opportunity and traveled with a Purina Pro Plan performer and helped her with a few shows. My dogs are my passion and I always treat others like they are my own. 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.

About: Life long pet owner that adores animals of all sizes. I love to walk,feed and pet all the beautiful fur babies. And have experience with all dogs from Shih Tzu's to Great Pyrenees. I'm always timely, honest and reliable. Communication, flexibility and a loving environment are key to a great experience. Myself and family (if allowed/desired) are open and willing to care for any animals as needed. I love to take them for a walk around the neighborhood and play fetch in the backyard/park or just giving them lots of belly rubs and attention when the weather is too extreme or they are too tired.

“My cat, Tubs is older and has some pretty serious health issues so I was a little nervous about leaving her home when I went out of town but I could tell when Julia came over to meet her that she was in great hands! Tubs ran over to her right away and they hit it off from there. I appreciated the text and photo check ins throughout my trip and was able to enjoy my time visiting my sister knowing that Tubs was with someone who was not just doing the basics but also playing with her, spending quality time and letting her be her cuddly self, and keeping an eye on her pain levels and meds.”
