About: I love animals with all my heart!! I currently have a high energy large German Shepard and Lab at home who I adore. I am great with all breeds and not scared of reactive dogs. I am very patient and dedicated to making sure all pets are safe, happy and well taken care of. I don’t own any cats, but I love them just the same and I am more than willing to accommodate!! I am currently a student and I do most of my school work from home leaving lots of free time for pet care, I am very flexible with my hours and I can do early mornings / late nights My German Shepard Waylon and our roomates lab, Carl, are my responsibilities most days of the week. I spoil them with walks, pup cups and car rides daily. We do projects at home and I honestly treat them like real kids. I will gladly do the same for other people’s pets. I know each pet is different with their own personalities and needs.

I am here to offer trustworthy, reliable, and affordable care to your pets! Your furbaby will ALWAYS find a trusted friend in me! I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of your furbabies, I’m just a call away if there is an immediate need! I’m available at just about all times! I care for pets in my clients home and fur-babies as I do my own, if there is a fenced in yard I always double check that gates are locked.

About: I’ve cared for neighbors’ and coworkers’ dogs on and off for about 7 years. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including seniors. I currently have a 16 year old Dachshund, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs may need. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work 7-4 at Langley Air Force base so depending on how far it is from base I could stop by during lunch but if not I can stop by during the week before 7 and after 3:30 pm. During the weekends and holidays, I should be free whenever to care for your pet! I live in a comfortable apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can get some fresh air and relax. I’m also happy to take them on regular walks and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!
“I have a problem eater 15 year old Yorkie. Matthew worked patiently with my little guy, coaxing him to eat. This was also the first time my Yorkie had been without me in all his life and he was very upset at first. Matthew worked to calm him down and ultimately Laddie was happy to be with his new "brother". He sent lots of pics and videos. He was great; I highly recommend this young man.”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I am a an active duty navy sailor, a toddler mommy, and a husky momma. I work from 7-3, but I am sure we can establish flexible care that accommodates your loved one’s needs while you are away. Hope to give you some peace of mind knowing your pup is in good care.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14, caring for pets both in my own home and in their homes while their families are away. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members! I work from 8:00 AM–5:30 PM on weekdays, but I have a lengthy break during the day that gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. My evenings and weekends are also more flexible, allowing me to spend extra time making sure your pet gets the care, companionship, and exercise they need! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their space and making new friends. I also have an extra set of hands with my fiancé, Tyler, who is just as much of an animal lover as I am! When caring for pets in their own home, I’m happy to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Deborah was great with our girl Katie this weekend, she is very caring and helped Katie get over her anxiety since she isnt used to being separated from us for extended periods. We highly recommend Deborah!”

About: I've loved dogs my entire life and have grown up with them since I was a toddler. Since December 2024, I've worked at Pawscienda in Montpelier, VA, where I've been trained as a Lead Kennel Technician. In that role, I care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and even the occasional bunny! My experience includes feeding, administering medications, monitoring behavior and health, maintaining clean and safe environments, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I also have a one year old, fully trained puppy of my own, which has given me even more hands-on experience with training, patience, and understanding a dog's individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs special medical care, I'll make sure they receive the same attention and care I'd want for my own. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. My classes are Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Fridays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Outside of class, I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm happy to work with owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I will also be available some weekends and can accommodate morning, evening, or overnight care if necessary. No matter what, i'll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At this time, I only offer care in my clients' homes, allowing pets to stay in the environment they're most familiar with and comfortable in. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'll follow your instructions carefully. From feeding schedules and walks to medications and any special care they may need. I will treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for every step of the way.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Eustis
Amazing sitter. I booked Paityn for a 3 week live-in. She kept the house great and was so patient with Missy, my dog (who takes time warming up to people). I can’t say enough great things about her. I’ve always been on the fence about Rover (for the sole reason that Missy is wary of strangers), but Paityn came recommended by friends, and I’m so thankful that she is here. I will definitely be contacting her again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fort Eustis walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fort Eustis maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort Eustis choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
