“Rita and Matt did a wonderful job caring for Roxie! They were both super attentive and with it being my first time using Rover services as a pet parent, I felt comfortable with them and at peace knowing she was well taken cared of during each visit.”

“Heaven made our mini vacation better with providing excellent care for our pup. Athena loved her visits with Heaven and the videos and pictures were wonderful additional. Our first time using Rover and Heaven will be our go to dog sitter/walker from here on out.”


About: I have taken care of foster dogs for a while now and wanted to offer my ability's to others. I have my owner trained service dog and can keep up training with your dog or even work on learning new skills. I may not have the most experience with pet sitting for others animals but I have been fostering shelter dogs for years My job is extremely flexible so I can work when I want for the most part. This allows me to take care of all animals. The animals will never be alone for more than 4 hours at a time. I spend most of my home time, other than sleeping, with the animals playing with them, working on training, giving proper medicine and letting them run around in my large fenced in backyard. If I am at your house for a week or taking the dogs on walks would be the only time I'll be away from my own home besides work. I can then spend the time I would be home with your animals. I have a husband to watch my own animals I have 2 cats and a resident dog. They are friendly and can keep your pup and kitty company! If your dog is a bit reactive with other animals I do have a room dedicated to the dogs I foster and care for. As of current I am taking a break from fostering to care for animals on rover so there will be no dogs with unknown temperaments. If I do have any dog reactive dogs to care for I will put resident dog up in my bedroom while I take out and play with your pup, they will never be alone long
“We had a great experience with Cory! My boys felt comfortable and at ease while we were on vacation, thanks to Cory. He’s very communicative, attentive and caring! I highly recommend him for any pet-sitting needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I work full time at a grooming salon as a pet bather. And I have experience working at an animal hospital and a pet sitting company. I’m able to watch any sized dog and any age from puppies to seniors. I also offer simple grooming services! I regularly take multiple dogs on hikes for at least 1 hour and am used to watching large groups of dogs at a time I’m currently working full time, 5 days a week. I am free all day Tuesday, and Sunday. But I’m also free after 4pm any other day . I can pet sit overnight any day and do drop in visits in the morning, evening, and at night. I am unable to board dogs at my own home but at a clients home I can take your dogs for both short and long walks. I can even take them to a park for a nature hike. I will feed them at their scheduled times and if wanted by owners I can crate them. If medication is needed I am comfortable with giving it to them. I will give them plenty of love and lots of playtime. If wanted I can also give nail trims, brushing, ear cleaning and baths as I work full time as a pet bather.
“Amber was absolutely fantastic. Our dog is getting older and took a while to warm up to her, but she was so incredible, kind, and patient with him. Highly recommend her for your pets, she is one in a million!”

“Lisa did a great job watching my cats while my wife and I had to leave town for a week. She always gives pictures of my cats and lets me know how they are doing. I would recommend her and I feel very comfortable having her watch my cats while I am gone.”


“My cat was very happy to spend time and play with Svetlana during my 3-week vacation. Svetlana visited him daily and managed all of the necessities plus play time with my cat. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her services.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs for friends and family. I’m comfortable walking, feeding, and spending time with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and pay close attention to each dog’s needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more relaxed, I adjust to what they need. I also make sure to provide updates and photos so you feel confident and at ease while your pet is in my care. I’m a full-time SPED Assistant teacher with a consistent schedule, which allows me to be reliable and plan ahead for pet care. I’m available for morning visits before work from 6am-7am, afternoons and evenings after 4 PM during weekdays. Weekends I will work around you and your pets schedule. I also have extended availability during school breaks, including summer, spring break, and winter break, when I have much more flexibility for daytime visits and longer bookings. I do my best to stay consistent and keep your pet on their normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are secure on walks and follow any instructions you provide carefully. I respect your home and will treat it with care while I’m there. I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while your pet is in my care
About: My family and I have fostered cats and dogs and provided hospice care for a dog with cancer (1 year) until she passed. I understand all breeds and their unique energy needs and activity levels. Medical care and aging limitations would be understood and can be tended to with your pet care needs. I work full time M, T, Th, F, Sa 8am until the deliveries are complete (can range from 2pm to 6pm). When I am not home, there are other family members present (spouse works, dad is retired). In the afternoon and evenings, my children will be attentive to any animals kept at my home. I enjoy connecting with all animals. Our weekends are more hectic with soccer season in full swing. Some weekends we may be elsewhere in Virginia with limited care depending on the weekend, April through June. We have a small fenced in yard with the ability to take your pet out for long, short, or frequent walks. My kids would provide any extra loving and attention while your pet is in my care. I kept a friend's cat for a week. When that week was up, her cat didn't want to leave. Whenever I visit them, the cat finds me to snuggle while I am around. Animals can sense the love and kindness within our family.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I have my own 11-year-old Shih Tzu named Summer, so I understand the patience, attentiveness, and love senior dogs need. I’ve cared for my aunt’s Chihuahua, including administering medication mixed into her dinner. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules and giving oral medications as directed. I’ve also stayed overnight in multiple homes caring for several dogs at once through trusted family and friend connections. Additionally, I regularly help care for my best friend’s two Boxers, including feeding them and giving the older dog a half pill each morning. I currently attend George Mason University and have one class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I’m flexible outside of class times and plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable care. I am available for pet sitting in both the Stafford and Fairfax areas. However, boarding services are only available in Stafford, where my home is located. I’m happy to coordinate details in advance to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained and everything runs smoothly while you’re away. When boarding pets in my home, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. Visiting pets will always be kept separate from my 11-year-old Shih Tzu to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. My dog will stay either in my parents’ room or in the sunroom during boarding stays. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any specific instructions provided. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their normal routine to minimize stress. My goal is to create a safe, structured, and loving environment wherever your pet is staying.
Fredericksburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
We have been with Kathryn for almost a year! She is the absolute best sitter you could want. She communicates quickly and gives the most thorough updates on my dog. She provided enrichment and love to my dog Fern. We are so sad to be moving this month and leaving Kathryn, we can only hope to find as good of a sitter the next place we live.

Extenuating circumstances left our dog with diarrhea while we were gone :( Erin not only staying in close contact with us, answering our questions about what she saw and requests for pictures to see if he had other symptoms that meant we should get him to the vet for the rest of our vacation, but she took the time to clean the accidents he did have between the 2 daily visits we booked. She went above and beyond in a really "shitty" situation, and we are SO thankful.

Cheyenne was so great and responsive when I was desperately needing a last-minute dog sitter! She quickly got back to me and kept me updated whenever she would stop by. I really appreciated the detailed check-in summaries and all of the fun pictures (: my pup looked so happy each time!

One of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had in a very long time. She’s very patient very kind and she plays with my pups. Lillian Buddy takes them out. Give a report and also come back again just to make sure that they’re relax. I work in Washington DC and I am very grateful for her to be with my Lillian and Buddy Always recommend her.

Madeline was a great sitter! She sent daily updates and took care of my fur-kiddos like they were her own! I appreciated her attention to my pups needs and adjusting her stays to be a little longer to make sure the pup ate & felt loved. 10/10 and will certainly be using her again! Thank you Madeline!!

Taylor gave me peace of mind that Roanoke was doing well while our AC went out all week. Luckily the weather wasn’t too hot so everyone was safe! She also made me aware of any tummy issues Roanoke was having and worked with Rover on my behalf to ensure we weren’t overcharged after a technical blip. Thanks so much!
