About: I have been caring for dogs for over 20 years, and had a business running my own daily poochie playgroup and doing home boarding in the Old Town area of Alexandria, VA since 1998. I moved to the Charlottesville area and am missing all my furry friends. Now I am available for walks, home visits and house sitting in your home with my dog Badger<3 I love taking walks and Badger is a great doggie companion for your pooch while you are away! I've also taken care of bunnies, ferrets, horses...you name it I'm a big animal lover! I have even started friends in other areas of the country on their own dog sitting businesses Very successfully, i might add! I would love for your dog to become a part of my pack <3
“Linda and David took excellent care of my dog while we attended the VT game. I got lots of updates and pictures. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!!”
“First time boarding our pup with Holly. What a great experience and Stella is home wiped out from all of the fun playing in the big backyard with many new friends!!”
“I highly recommend Corrie & Greg (& kids!!) as this was our second visit for daycare. It’s such a peace of mind knowing our puppy is well cared for and loved by this amazing family. We received communication & updates during his stay. We could fully relax to enjoy a VT football game knowing our puppy was in excellent care with the sweetest family. Thank you so much, and we will see you again soon!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. Last one a pug for 14 years. Took care of her needs being paralyzed for several years. Had small poodle for 18 years I am retired. Travel at times. Live alone. Really miss having a sweet doggy. Lots of love here to give to a pet. Always first with me. Have a nice place. Closed in deck. Screened in porch. Nice yard and place to walk pet and let them out for bathroom breaks ❤️
“Angela was fantastic and Larry had a great time with her. She was so kind to help us out at the last minute while we attended the VT football game!”
“Missy was happy upon pick up! They accepted my request at very short notice and were super accommodating. I received pictures of missy exploring their land during her visit. I will definitely use them again if I'm ever in the area!!”
“I requested Deann late at night, the day before and she was able to accommodate an early check in and late check out while in town for a visit day at VMCVM. Alice came back happy and seemed to have enjoyed her day with Deann. I highly recommend !!”
“Great help for this out of Towner who came in for a ball game. Sent pictures and kept me updated. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area and need a doggy sitter.”
About: Throughout the past few years I've been able to help dogs walk better on a leash just by taking them on regular trips. I'm patient and happy to adjust to the dog's normal routine and the family's expectations so rules are still followed when they return. Overall, I'm doing this because I love dogs and want to care for them just as you do! I do work a full-time job, but I’m happy to care for pets on the weekends, in the mornings and evenings outside of my work hours, and can many times care for them during lunchtime. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of the environment and ensuring that the client’s expectations for home care and the relationship with the pet is respected (ex. Keeping pets off furniture, placement of toys and bowls, clean up).
“Emily and her family are wonderful! They welcomed my old lad, Major, and genuinely seemed to care about him as they do their own pup. Emily sent photos of Major getting settled in and spending time with the fam and was very communicative. I continue to trust Emily with Major's care while I'm at the office, knowing he's in great, capable hands 😊”
About: I offer experienced and loving care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Having a 3-year-old dog myself, I understand the importance of a comfortable and social environment. I also have experience caring for dogs with specific needs, such as allergies, blindness, and complex medication schedules. My goal is to make your dog feel completely at home and well cared for during their stay. I work remotely, so I am home most of the day. I can adhere to your feeding and medication schedule. I also love taking dogs out for pup cups or excursions to dog-friendly stores (with owner permission). For holiday periods, a minimum booking of 3 nights is required. Thank you for your understanding. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly lab/heeler mix. Dogs have free roam of my home. I also have a comfortable crate if they are crate trained.
“Natalie was amazing! She was very accommodating and flexible and my pup loved seeing her. I 100/10 would recommend her to take care of your fur baby.”
About: I like to take a supervised yet hands-off approach to watching over dogs. That is, letting dogs be their curious and playful selves while making sure they're safe and well taken care of. I've owned dogs my whole life (breeds including portuguese water dog, rottweilers, maltese/poodle mix, terrier mix, schnauzer/poodle mix, and a german shepherd currently) and find that they are happier and better behaved when given freedom to explore and lead rather than be expected to remain obedient and tame at all times. Some pups need more structure and thrive on a little more rigidity though, and I am very capable of meeting whatever their needs are and sticking to what you know is best for their personality. I am easily swooned by all kinds of dogs but am not one to let them use their good looks and charm to get the best of me. I am mostly just excited to hang out with as many of these guys as I can! I do want to be transparent that I work regular hours Mon - Fri, so I cannot stay with your pups 24/7 during the week. That being said, lunch time bathroom breaks are a guarantee! Walks in the morning and in the evening, and a quick potty break in the afternoon! I do have a day job, but your sweet pup will always be my first priority. I have a large backyard and live just a few short minutes from the Huckleberry Trail 🙂 I also have a spacious yard where your furry friend can roam free!
“It was a pleasure meeting Madison and her great family. She was a lifesaver taking care of our dog. Our dog was spoiled. I would highly recommend Madison for any pet sitting needs.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals over 20 years and am also a licensed veterinary technician. I’m comfortable with reinforcing training, giving medications, and caring for puppies/kittens to senior pets! I’m currently available for drop in visits in the morning and evening. I’d be happy to help care for your pet while you’re away from home! I am happy to follow instructions left by you for your pet while you’re away. Walks, playtime, or short training sessions. I’m also comfortable with administering medications and doing physical therapy exercises for your pet.
“Nancy is really nice and is a great communicator! Had 2 long days at work and she took care of my dog all day with no issues and allowed me to be flexible on timing with the work events. Highly recommended!”
“Candace was an amazing dog sitter. She took very good care of my fur baby! She took pictures of her, text me throughout the day, took her on walks, snuggled with her, played and more ♡ Couldn't ask for anything more ♡ Thank you Candace!!!!”
About: I am a new sitter on Rover, but don’t let that put you off. :) My family has never known a time where we didn’t have pets! When I was five years old, my parents entrusted to me a sweet black kitty for whom I was solely responsible for. Not only did this experience affirm my love for animals, but it also jumpstarted me into a world of responsibility! Since then, we have rescued dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, happily welcoming “bully” breeds and giving them all the love and care they deserve! I’ve cared for elderly dogs and cats with and without disabilities, as well as those who need certain medications or injections. Further, big breeds do not intimidate me- I love them! Perhaps most importantly, I will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! ❤️ I am currently a graduate student at Virginia Tech, and as such, my weekdays are fairly busy until the evenings. If you need overnight care on the weekdays, let me know and we can work something out! I typically have a couple meetings in the mornings that I can conduct on zoom, but I do have in person class from 2-5 that I will need to leave your home for. Fridays and weekends, however, are wide open! I have two sweet, playful cats currently and live in an apartment, so it is likely that care will be provided in your house! I often find this is better anyway, as your pet is already comfortable in their home and less likely to feel stress with change.

“You'll love Ava almost as much as your pup will! She's a fun and funny freespirit who knows her way around critters.

Highly recommended!”

5. Nancye D.
“I have known Nancye for 15-16 just a couple of months after she got her little black Pug named Cinder. Nancye loved her little Pug as much as anyone could, unfortunately Cinder became paralyzed and she still took great care of her for 2 yrs. after that. I have had my share of health problems and Nancye has seen & helped me through them all. I had 3 smaller dogs at the time and not only seeing me through my hospital stays she stayed at my house and took care of my three dogs also. She is one of the most loving people that I have ever known. She loves dogs and dogs love her. No one could find a better person to take care of their dog.”

20. Madison S.
“I had an outstanding experience with Madison on Rover! From the moment I reached out, Madison was professional, communicative, and incredibly attentive to all our pets’ needs. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dogs…and cats, fish, gecko…were comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. I appreciated the daily updates and photos that helped me feel at ease while I was away. It's clear that Madison has a genuine love for animals and a strong commitment to providing top-notch care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again!" Madison is the ONLY person we will ever let take care of our fur babies! She came highly recommended from others. She is very trustworthy, accommodating, and reliable which are very important, but what is also very important to us is her excellent care for our pet “children.” She is so warm, gentle, friendly, and patient with all of our critters. She plays with and loves on them, talks to them and takes the pups on walks and to the park. Madison has even had to take one of our babies to the vet while we were out of town. It means so much to us that our fur babies are in safe and loving care when we cannot be with them. They all love her! We do too! Rover is lucky to have such a reliable and caring person working for them, as Madison is all that and so much more.”
