About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!

“This is our first time using Rover and Holly has been so wonderful! Not only is she on time and reliable, she is great at communicating and my dog is so happy for his walks! She happily incorporates his training during his walks and checks in with us, asking questions when needed to make sure she is doing everything right. I would highly recommend 🐾”

“Jessica was amazing! She walked my two dogs, a high strung chihuahua and elderly dog (14 y.o.), for 30min for 4 days. She reached out and asked if I wanted her to meet the dogs before walking them which was great. The chihuahua tends to bark his head off at strangers, and I wasn't sure how he'd react (he ended up running away from her the first day for 15min, sorry Jessica). The older dog had diarrhea throughout the house one day, and cleaning up after something like that isn't really what I consider her job. I told her she didn't need to worry about it, and I'd deal with it when I got back. However, she ended up cleaning up as much as she could anyways (that's going to be a big tip). Besides my dogs being a huge pain. She always responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures from the walks.”

“Paige took great care and did very well with Eli on his walks, she even made sure he was content with a nice treat at the end. I would highly recommend Paige and will definitely be utilizing her services again.”

About: I’ve had experiences not only taking care of my own animals but also watching my friends and families pets. I’m able to walk for however long a pet needs and I’m able to remember when a pet needs to be taken out or fed. I’m also able to adapt easily if the pet has any conditions or disabilities that I need to accommodate to. I’m always available at any time whether it’s mornings or nights. I may have trips but whenever I’m home, I’m always looking for something to do. I always make sure they’re comfortable with me before petting then it playing, considering I never want to force anything. I make sure to feed them on time and take then out whenever it is needed. I also love walking my own dogs all the time.

“Jazmyn was great! She sent great pictures! Arrow seemed very happy with her. She truly went above and beyond.”

Ashanti T.

“Lindsey is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The love and care she shows for my pup is unmatched. She goes above and beyond to work with my schedule and is truly such a kind person. If you’re looking for someone to look after your pup in any way. No hesitation. It HAS to be Lindsey. You will not regret it!!!”

Taylor S.

“Trustworthy, dependable and my dogs love her. Also love that she communicates quickly if anything is amiss.”

Ann J.

“Our dogs absolutely loved their time with Anne. You can tell that she's a true dog lover and cares about them as if they were her own. We plan on using her on a weekly basis -- she is that good.”

About: I have always had a pet in the home, from fish to dogs! Pets are an amazing part of our families and deserve the special care and attention that our own human children have from us as parents. That’s why every four-legged visitor in my home receives the 5-star resort experience. Let me know what I can do for you and your furry friends today! I usually work from 9-5 on most weekdays approximately 5 minutes from home. That gives me the flexibility to check in on your pet throughout the day. For boarding, expect your pet to be snuggled, given food & treats (at your discretion), and receive quality walks. Drop-in visits are my preference, as well as walks. Nonetheless, please let me know what I can do to provide you with the best service possible. Beyond the normal pets, I love to ensure your pets receive the special care they need. From meds to treats, they will get the concierge experience.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 8. For the last 7 years I have taken care of my neighbors pets, cat and/or dog. I would be more than happy to take care of yours!

I have a deck, plenty of open space near my house for your pets to run around, I also have a dog who is friendly and would love to keep yours company.

About: I’ve had a dog my entire life growing up. I got my very own dog at the age of 16 and cared for that dog and many others since then. I have pet sit for many neighbors and friends and they all say just how much they appreciate how I treat their animals as I do my own pets! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my job so I can be available to watch your pets and go over throughout the day as needed. I have a fenced in backyard, one small dog, and three children. I will typically be watching your animals in your home, but I have my own vehicle and very reliable!

About: I have a nice size house with a fenced in back yard for your dog to have fun running and playing around. Your dog will feel loved and treated as if he/she was having a pampered vacation. Our furry visitors love feeling cozy inside my home. I have always had one or more pets in the home and can guarantee a safe loving environment for your pet. My house is spacious, warm on cozy in the winter and nice and cool in the summer. I take care of only one customer at a time, meaning your dog will have exclusive attention and pampering. Plus I bake homemade organic dog cookies for them as a bonus for them to enjoy their stay. About this sitter: I have had dogs since a child and love them very much like my own child. Couldn't live without having a pet and caring for them, they are a blessing and great joy in our lives. I want to continue to donate to ASPC in Fredericksburg and Pekingese homeless pets in Richmond in need so they too can have the love and care they long for and I want to be apart of that so I can help all of Gods creation and show them love and care for the ones that I get to have the pleasure to sit in our home and give back in return to the ones in need. Every little that we sprinkle in someones lives is a gift that God gives us to spread the love. Why I love dog sitting since I was a child caring for dogs at 5 yrs old. About my yard We have a back yard and it is fenced in with plenty of running space and very private so the dogs can play and not bother the neighbors My experience administering medication Yes I have done it in the past to my dogs that needed medical attention I am currently working from home and will always be attentive to your babies which they will always have attention. The potty breaks will be every 2 hours or less if needed. My yard is fenced and I have cameras around also your babies will never be left unattended since I have a little one that I’m always going outside with him and playing with him so your baby will receive the same love and attention.

About: I’ve taken care of pets through my childhood, and now as an adult I have three dogs (one of which is a service dog) and a bunny we spoil daily. I also have experience with senior dogs who need a little extra help doing basic tasks. I’ve seen first hand how hard it is to find quality pet care who show up when they say they will, and spend time with the animals. I’m hoping to alleviate that stress for you and your family! I’m currently a stay at home mom, with ability to care for your pets throughout the day and evening. I am available during the week, weekends, and most holidays I have taken courses on proper leash care, and dog handling. I have a fenced in yard, and safety gates to prevent dogs from going out any home door. I also respect all clients requests on how to take care of their fur babies

About: Hello! Whether you need someone to walk your dogs twice a day, check on your kitty, or house sit for a week, I’d love to help! I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats at various shelters including the SPCA and Burlington Animal Services. In addition to basic pet care including feeding, cleaning, and socializing, I have quite a bit of experience being a medical foster. Caring for injured animals and administering medications isn’t an issue for me. I’ve owned cats, dogs, and various farm animals throughout my life so I’m very comfortable caring for any animal’s needs. If you have a pet I haven’t yet cared for I would be more than happy to learn how to care for your baby as well as you would. I'm also happy to bathe your pets for free, I just clean their shampoo and brush. I absolutely adore animals and am really looking forward to getting to know yours! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! I grew up with four high-energy terriers, so I’m very used to making sure that both pets and people are always safe in any given area. When I enter a home, I always open the door slowly with my leg blocking the gap to prevent excited pets from rushing out. Food or choking hazards are always kept out of reach either on counters or in cabinets and I’m completely comfortable with security measures like alarms and in-home cameras. My pets are a huge part of my life so I completely understand wanting to protect them to the best of your ability. I’m a full-time Rover sitter, so my schedule is super open. I know how hectic life can be and accept last-minute bookings, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! When housesitting, at least 80% of my time will be dedicated to your pets. I have to run errands from time to time, but other than that, I stay focused on them! I lock all doors and windows when I leave, at night, and generally during the day, and your home will look exactly how you left it! Regardless of the type of booking, I’m always very careful when I walk in to prevent animals from bolting outside.

About: I have had about 9 years of dog care with one big pup and one little. When I was very young my sister and I started a dog walking company throughout our neighborhood, so I guess you could say I have always loved being around dogs/animals. Throughout the years we have had all different types of animals from Nigerian Uromastyx Lizards to kitties/dogs and hamsters. I think that animals are very special because they stick with you through thick and thin. There is no better type of love than the love of an animal. Since we have had many animals throughout my life, I automatically know what to do if a certain situation arises (accidents, etc.). The little things are whats most important to me when I am with my animals. Hanging out, watching tv, or just simply being in their presence is enough for me. My family and I love animals and they all hold a special place in our hearts as I’m sure they do for you too!
