“Heather was wonderful with Dakoda and Callie! She took great care of our dogs, was respectful of our home, and was super responsive whenever we checked in. She was a pleasure to work with, and we will definitely be booking again!”

“Katie took amazing care of our boy! My neighbors keep bragging on her and want her contact info for their own pets! She is prompt and let him go out and play with his dog friends every time they were outside! Thank you Katie, you are awesome!”

“I have a dog that doesn't have the easiest personality especially with strangers and Allison took great care of her. I felt that she was in great hands and had no worries while I was away.”

“Kayla was wonderful with our dogs. She sat for our dog and our grand-doggie who had not been with a sitter since she was adopted. Kayla let bed on our dogs and was very responsive. We will definitely be using Kayla again😊”

“Kirsten was fantastic! She was very communicative and made us feel at ease with lots of photos/videos of our dogs while we were away for the weekend. She is extremely friendly and caring/loving towards the dogs and really made sure to understand their schedule/needs during our meet-and-greet. Would highly recommend and hope to schedule with her again in the future!”

“Thomas was great. He kept me updated and sent pictures of my dog Mabel. I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing that Mabel was being taken care of. Also, I returned to an apartment that looked exactly like I left it and a happy dog.”

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 .

“Gillian was great with my dog and cat! Sent pictures and updates multiple times a day. 10/10 would recommend to take care of your pets!”

About: I was responsible for caring for my childhood senior dog. She was a small chihuahua mix that I was responsible for walking, feeding and giving oral medications. I also cared for a family friend’s two German Shorthaired Pointer’s for a week. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, crating and administering oral medications! I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to check-in on pets during the morning and evening. However, I can provide longer check-ins during the weekend and have no standing/recurring commitments during the weekend. As someone who has owned pets before, I am well aware of the safety precautions needed. I make sure that my home is pet-proof by making sure my plants are out of reach and any dangerous chemicals. I also have experience with crating dogs.

“Amberly was amazing! She stay at our house for a 10 day trip, and she took great care of my 2 dogs. She communicated very well and sent me photos. My dogs are my life, so it was so nice not having to worry about them while we were gone! ❤️”

“Kate was great with my boys. She took good care of them when I was at work and made sure they went potty to avoid accidents and went for walks.”

About: I have taken care of dogs within my household for 15 years now, with the additional walking & house sitting for neighbors! I recently started pet walking & sitting in Blacksburg this year and have had such a blast! As an incoming vet student this fall, I will bring an expertise and view that will be beneficial for the pet in their environment and for the owners. I am so motivated to support owners with their schedules by sitting or walking! I’m currently working part-time throughout the summer, and have time within the day to complete walks for your pets! I am also available to pet sit in-home for you if needed; preferably not Monday-Wednesday, but I am flexible! I always start off my sessions with building a connection with the pet prior. If possible, I like to meet prior to needing my services to socialize myself with the pet, so that trust can be gained. Once this is done, I love to play with the pets and cuddle them so that they feel secure! I love taking photos of the pets during walks to send to the owners, as this reassures them!

“A friend recommended Tilly, and she was so so sweet and my boy was immediately super comfortable with her! She sent me so many pictures though out the weekend and was really good at communicating and caring for him!! :)”

Courtney P.

“I was amazed at how quickly Chauncey (our rescue dachsshnd) warmed up the Nancye. She has this innate ability to know a dog and his needs, placing that as top priority. She texted with pictures often, I left home for a much needed few days away without a worry at all. HIGHLY recommend and feel sure we'll want Nancye to pet/house sit for us again--SOON!”

Betty K.

“Kelly was absolutely amazing! She took care of our dog like she was her own and watered our garden as well! It was wonderful to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our dog. I cannot say enough good things and she will definitely be our first call next time we are going out of town!”

Rachel K.

“Kaytlin was great! She had a great stay with our pup, was communicative, left our house clean and was overall kind and professional. We look forward to Kaytlin staying with our pup again!”

“The somewhat desperate feeling of having your dog’s boarding plan fall through lands you on Rover.com just days before you’re supposed to leave town. This is not where I wanted to be – having to let a stranger watch my home and dog, handing over the keys and saying prayers. Instead, I said a prayer first, and I landed on the smiling face of Deann. She was an angel! Confident, prepared, kind, experienced, the list of good qualities goes on and on. I immediately felt at ease and our dog took to her as soon as she walked in our door for our introduction. Deann took pictures, communicated, and provided text updates at least once a day and I stopped worrying. That’s maybe the best compliment I can post here – I stopped worrying and had a great time on our trip because Deann had it completely under control.”
