Hailey was amazing! She is so kind and professional. My girls loved her! She took such great care of them. She communicated, sent updates, and pictures. Reached out with any questions or concerns. She went over and above taking care of my house, leaving it very clean. I am so happy I found her.

This is the second time Stephanie has sat for our cat, Midnight. She was well cared for. Stephanie played with Midnight and made sure Midnight was kept on her special diet of wet food. She also kept us informed with updates and pictures. We look forward to having Stephanie watch Midnight again.

Gabriella was amazing! One of our pups has severe anxiety and likes very few people. She became comfortable with Gabriella quicker than anyone before. That is a true testament to Gabriella’s calm and caring nature. Our pups were in great hands with her; we will be working with Gabriella for all of our pup care needs!

Kaitlin did a phenomenal job for us during a last minute overnight house sitting with our dog and cat! She was very professional and did everything the right way. She also was sure to send lots of pictures and updates. We appreciated the effort Kaitlin put into this and we felt very comfortable with her sitting in our home. We would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a giant breed dog and three cats, currently have two cats of my own, and I am an animal shelter volunteer! I’m comfortable with dogs of any size and temperament (both laid-back cuddle bugs and high-energy dogs that need extra exercise and attention). Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make their time with me stress-free and fun! I just graduated college and my full time job doesn’t start until mid July, so other than the occasional hanging out with friends, I have a wide open schedule! I am extremely flexible and will follow the owner’s usual routine as much as possible. I am comfortable with leashed walks as well as supervising dogs in fenced yards — I will not walk dogs off-leash or leave unsupervised in yards. I am happy to take dogs on adventures or just chill, but for the most part I am happy to do whatever the owner prefers!

I have been nervous for a while to use rover for my two kitties and Allison coming and staying at my house showed me why I did not need to be worried! Allison loved and cared for my cats so much! She gave them their daily medicines with food, worked with my automatic litter boxes, and most importantly played and loved on them so much! She was very very communicative and responsive and also sent me so many cute pictures! I always miss my cats so much when I’m gone so this helped me a lot! I also frequently asked how things were going and Allison was very responsive which helped reassure me! She also left my home neat and tidy how it was left for her which was nice to come home to! Allison rocks and I am so appreciative to have someone so kind and thoughtful taking care of my pets! It’s going to make leaving them to go out of town a little easier :) thank you so much Allison!!!!

About: I’ve grown up in a home with multiple pets and have extensive experience caring for animals. Over the years, neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. I’m also a four-time foster parent with the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA, where I’ve cared for animals in need and helped prepare them for adoption. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends to give your furry family my complete attention and care! I’m available anytime after 5:00 PM on Fridays through Sundays. I’m a true animal lover and will care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I prioritize being present and attentive to their needs, making sure they always feel safe and supported—wherever they are, I’m right there with them.

I can’t say enough great things about Maddy! She recently watched our 2 dogs at our house while my husband and I went on a trip. She sent plenty of pictures, updates and gave our pups lots of love. We were so thankful for Maddy and it gave us great peace of mind to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I helped my mom with her dog boarding business in 2020 and since then have taken care of a multitude of both young and old dogs. I will NOT take last minute requests without a meet & greet. I'm used to picking up after those without potty training or those with stomach issues and sympathizing over those sweet pups. I currently have a very flexible schedule over the summer and am available for dog sitting, pet care, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I strive to be as flexible, reliable, and accommodating as possible to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every animal in my care is always my top priority. I have experience interpreting canine body language and understanding breed-specific needs, including the specialized care required for brachycephalic breeds and barrel-chested breeds. I am attentive to each pet’s individual temperament, routines, and stress signals to help create a safe and positive environment. I am comfortable administering medications, handling accidents or cleanups, and adapting to the unique needs of each pet. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have experience with other animals as well and am always willing to learn about the proper care and handling of different species. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their animals are in safe and capable hands.

About: I've been dog walking and pet sitting for over 15 years! I have always loved spending time with animals and have a long history of caring for dogs and cats of all different ages/sizes. Currently working from home part time, so I am very flexible when it comes to schedules! I'm happy to drop by during the day for walks/play sessions. And am also very open to multi day house sitting/pet sitting! I am very flexible and can do whatever is needed to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and make sure your home is taken care of!

I am so appreciative of having Lorene as my dog sitter for our recent vacation. She kept us updated with a daily report, added some cute pictures, and learned more of the dogs’ quirks making it a great fit. We knew we could travel without any worries because she took great care of my boys. They loved hanging out with her and Cash even took on the role of “work supervisor”. Would highly recommend Lorene for any of your dog needs.

Rosemary spent 6 days taking care of the house and animals. She was very responsive, sent oodles of photos, and was very professional in all our communications. We will definitely ask her to come again. It's such a relief to know you can trust somebody to come to the house rather than stressing the dogs out with time in a loud pet hotel.

Ellie was amazing with our pets! Due to a family death we had to adjust out pet sitting schedule and Ellie was flexible, which we greatly appreciated. She sent pictures and took good care of our elderly and quirky pets. We are extremely grateful for her love and care. Ellie administered medicine, spent the night, and even cleaned up! Highly recommend Ellie!! Thanks again Ellie!

Melika was a fantastic sitter for our very opinionated elder beagle. She played age appropriate games with him, carried him up the stairs and kept him company on the couch. She was also very communicative which helped soothe my nerves about leaving our doggo for several days. She also took care of our house, which was cleaner than we left it. 100% would recommend her.

Laura was amazing with our 2 energetic dogs and older cat that needed daily thyroid medication and subcutaneous fluids. The house was left all in tact and she even washed her linens and put clean sheets on our bed. I can’t tell you how much we appreciated that after a long days journey 😊

Maryn was a fantastic sitter! We have a super anxious dog who can’t be left along for too long and Maryn stayed with Wister for the day while we went to a family event. Wister immediately bonded with Maryn and we came home to an incredibly happy pup.
