“Hux and Zeb took to Ayme right away. She was very attentive and took copious notes. We are sure that Hux and Zeb are looking forward to her next visit.”

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 7-3:30, 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.

“Nick was great! He took great care of our cats, fish, and Guinea pig. It was wonderful receiving pics of our furry family and he even brought the mail in. I would 100% use his services again.”

“This was my first time leaving my kitties with a Rover. Maria and Luis were AWESOME. They were punctual, thorough and reliable. They sent me lots of pictures of my fur babies, including a picture of the freshly scooped litter box at every visit. I will definitely book with them again in the future :)”

About: I work full time as a Registered Nurse, but I have a love for all animals and would love to hang with your fur babies on my days off. I have years of experience taking care of all animals, I grew up around dogs, cats, birds, horses, frogs, and snakes . We have an aussie named Blue that we love so much and I would love to help you out with your furry friends. I can provide references as needed but can assure you your babies will be in good hands. We can also work on training as needed, make trips to the dog park, or just walk around the block! My pup is really playful so we could also have play dates if you feel comfortable with that.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, but I really fell in love with them when I adopted a rescue English bulldog named Gary seven years ago. He was an incredibly unique dog who came with his challenges in many ways, including leash aggression, fear of other dogs, and many health issues in his elderly years. He taught me so much about caring for our furry friends in many ways and prepared me for whatever they throw our way! I've missed him very much since his passing, and I'm looking to meet some new doggos to get my fill on companionship. I work from home, and I'm generally quite flexible to pop in for visits or walks. I usually only travel on weekends if I do at all. Having cared for a senior bulldog with myriad health issues, I am very attentive to diet, medications, physical challenges, etc. I am detail-oriented and take instructions seriously. I love to pet, play, and give extra love when visiting with dogs!

“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!”

“Chynna was so wonderful with our senior Bostons I felt like she looked after them like they were her own. I really appreciated all the photo updates and the extra attention she gave them while we were away! We will definitely have her watch our pups again 💯🧡”

Devon M.

“Makenzie was awesome. She was very communicative and reliable. Our cats are pretty shy around strangers and she was very patient and able to get them to be relaxed around her which most people cannot do. Thanks so much! I definitely recommend her!”

“She was exceptional!!”

About: Hello! I’m Morgan, a young student with a passion for animals and pet care. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and understand just how important diligent pet care is. Pets are a part of our families, and that should be reflected in how they are cared for. I began walking dogs as a young kid with our family dog, Hugo, an energetic and lively Weimaraner. Later we got a black lab, Mercedes, and I would walk them together, so I am quite adept at handling multiple large dogs. In high school I began pet sitting for friends and coworkers. I have experience pet-sitting older dogs and younger dogs so I understand the need for careful supervision. I’ve have experience with dogs, cats, and even birds and rabbits! I have full open availability from 6am-3pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday through Sunday I have completely open availability anytime of the day! I pride myself on being and observant and a diligent caretaker. Things like making sure the food and water bowls are always clean. Checking the water bowl consistently to ensure it’s full, keeping track of the time to know they’re being fed on schedule. Both my own dogs and others I’ve cared for have required daily oral medication at different times of the day. I’m very good at staying organized and knowing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Additionally, making sure the animals are receiving proper exercise and stimulation either through long walks or playing with the favorite toys safely.

About: **Hablo español!** I am a huge animal lover with lots of pet care experience! I grew up with pets and have had a few of my own in my adulthood. Sadly, my senior pup, Ruth, recently passed away at around 13 years old. I miss her presence and am hoping to fill my extra time with caring for other people’s pets. I am familiar with pet medication administration and senior pet care. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a lawyer with my own business, so I do not work a traditional 9 to 5 and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide pet care during the week and on weekends! I am responsible and detail-oriented. Since I have these traits, I will always pay strict attention to your instructions for your pet and be respectful of your home.

“Gilbrith provided great care to our kitties!!! She provided them with play time and attention beyond the essential care. Gilbrith was very easy to communicate with and provided regular updates. Thank you!!!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover across my whole life. I have twenty years of experience, five of them professionally at Holiday Barn! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so fitting your pet care needs into my weekly routine is a breeze and a pleasure! It’s something I truly look forward to. I’m well educated on animal behavior and the dynamics to keep in mind when entering an animal’s home as a guest. I know how to foster a safe and respectful environment so that we can have a great time together.

About: I’m a life long animal lover with hands-on experience helping out friends and family and caring for my own cat, Leia! I have a strong understanding of maintaining feeding schedules, walking routines and providing enrichment. I also understand each pet has their own personality. My approach to pet care is very individualized and considerate. I know leaving them is hard but I am dedicated to helping them feel safe and secure to ease your worries. I work full-time 12-8p Sunday-Thursday so I am available before and after those times for drop ins, walking etc. Fridays and Saturdays I am open all day! My cat Leia gets consistent wet food every morning and evening with dry food mid day while I am gone. She has constant access to water, vertical look out spots and a “catio” to give her outside enrichment the safest way possible.
