House Sitting in Flagtown

About: With years of experience caring for multiple cats and dogs at home, I truly understand their needs and quirks. I also watch dogs of all sizes and ages, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their own environment. I am dedicated to providing the best care for your pets and believe having them stay in a location they are familiar with is the ideal stay. I work from home when booked, allowing me to adjust my schedule to be fully available on booked days. I bring my laptop setup with me and I'm all set. Have an extremely flexible schedule. I take great joy in walking dogs and giving them the attention they deserve, ensuring they feel loved and cared for during their time with me. I watch dogs in your own home to ensure they feel comfortable with an environment they are used to and to avoid any additional stress.

“Neha met all our expectations .She made effort to get to know my very shy cat. She handled my indoor / outdoor cat very efficiently .. letting her in and out as needed. She also took care of the house and kept it clean when I got back.”

“Hadija did a great job as always with Max. No matter where we go my husband is always rushing to get back home to Max but for the first time yesterday he said that since Hadija was at home with Max we didn’t need to rush back. That is a huge compliment to Hadija!”

About: Are you interested in having someone stop by during the day? Do you wish your dog could get out for a walk while you’re stuck at work? Or better yet, did you just get a puppy? I’m here to help you out! I’m an experienced dog owner and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I currently own three dogs and we love going on our daily walks. Being a pack leader is so much fun! If you’d like your dog to get some love and attention during the day then I may be the one for you. It would be my pleasure. I’d be more than happy to update you with a picture during each visit. And I will always treat your pup as if it was my own.

“We had a wonderful experience with Rosanna! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and photos. One thing especially appreciated was how she handled giving my dog his medications. She followed instructions perfectly and is probably better at giving them to him than I am, haha. Overall; she is reliable, attentive and clearly cares deeply for the animals she looks after. We came home to happy, well cared for pets! Would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have two of my own. I have experience volunteering for animal shelters and can handle meds, clean up, walks, or assistance for special needs animals. I am insured with Pet Sitters Associates. While in my care, your fur babies are my highest priority and I will love them as if they were my own! I’m currently on a sabbatical from work and am available most days during the week. After taking care of my own, I am free for walks and play starting at 8:30am until 6pm. Peace of mind, pet safety, and your pets contentment is my highest priority and I will follow the exact instructions provided by the pet owner.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12. I love meeting all kinds of dogs. My family relies on me to walk and feed their dogs. I am currently a sophomore studying at Virginia Tech. I am available on weekday afternoons and any time on weekends during the fall and spring semesters. I am very active and love to be outside with your dog. Unfortunately, I am not able to board dogs in my home at this time.

“Ethan was great! Called ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit. When he got here, our dog took to him right away. He was communicative and shared pictures with us afterward. We felt a lot better on our trip knowing our dog was in good hands!”

“Bosco Bear loved having Alexis take care of him. Even though this was a long trip, he was so well adjusted and happy when I hot home that I could tell how loved and well taken care of he was while i was gone.”

“Isabella was so great with our dog! She wasn’t phased at all by our high-energy dog, and she took great care of her. She checked in frequently and was easy to communicate with. Super happy with her care!”

“Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.”

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and parent to two cats, Bubba and Mama, and our sweet rescue dog, Daisy. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My flexible WFH schedule enables me to be an attentive sitter and my camera roll is often full of pet photos so you will receive plenty of updates :). I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule so I can build my day around pet visits and check-ins, a perk my own pets continue to benefit from. I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and walking paths. My home has no stairs (perfect for short-legged or elderly pets) with direct access to open grass (we often have deer visitors!).

“Natalie took such great care of my dog, Panda! She was reliable, gentle, and made sure Panda got plenty of attention and love.”

About: I’ve had dogs of all different breeds my entire life and absolutely love them with my whole heart. My family has fostered puppies numerous times and is active with a local animal shelter. I love playing with pups, relaxing with pups, and taking pups on walks. I’m currently waiting to start a new job as an ER physician assistant in July. Until then, I have wide availability on almost all days. My home has a large backyard for the dogs to play but is only fenced on two sides with an electric fence on the other two. My neighborhood is a mile long circle where I take the dogs on walks. My dogs eat twice a day in the am and then at 5pm but will of course feed your dogs whenever needed. I can adjust to any style home and backyard as needed!

“Michael went above and beyond with watching our girls. He is a very kind person and my dogs loved him as soon as they met him. He’s very communicative, friendly and has a pleasant energetic attitude. He gave them lots of love, attention, and exercise. I highly recommend!”

“At the risk of writing such a glowing review that Jennifer becomes so popular that she's no longer available to watch our boys, I have to say having her pet sit was an across the board excellent experience. Our prior sitter bailed on us last minute and Jennifer came through with professionalism on very short notice. She came very prepared and took notes on how we like to have things done. The photos she sent every few days of our trip made us very comfortable with the level of care our boys were receiving and made it clear how much they enjoyed her company. I think it's safe to say they are still missing her! I highly recommend hiring Jennifer, and look forward to doing so again soon!”

About: I’m new to Rover and am a life-long pet lover eager to provide assistance to pet owners in need. I will treat your pet like my own due to my sincere love for animals. I have many years of experience taking care of dogs and don’t have a pet of my own at the moment, so I am able to be available more often. I am available Monday-Friday from 430pm until the evening, and whenever on Saturdays and Sundays. I am open to same day bookings if you have last minute plans and need help, please let me know! :) I will make sure your pet is well taken care of and comfortable. Upon arrival I will make sure their water bowl is filled with cold fresh water and can feed them if this is something that is needed. I will also make sure there is nothing hazardous within their reach or on the ground to ensure they are safe until your return

“Abby was absolutely amazing during her stay with our pets. She followed our instructions, was loving and engaging with them and sent pictures daily. She also anticipated needs, which was very helpful. She was trustworthy and reliable. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. We have already booked her again for regular walks”

Shimul S.

“Jake is wonderful. We went on a trip for a week and he stayed with our older dogs. We got pictures and updates from Jake, he took them on walks and outside. The dogs are happy and the house was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Jake. We never leave our dogs with anyone so this was a big deal and we can’t thank Jake enough for making this a great experience.”

““Uncle Marc” is Hazel and Penny’s new favorite friend! Marc stayed with our girls while we spent the week out of the country. I was worried about leaving them for so long but Marc took great care of them and frequently updated me, sent pictures, and put my mind at ease. They’re already planning for his next visit 😉. Thanks Marc, we appreciate you!”
