About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs ever since I was 8 years old! My friends and family has relied on me to take care of their animals. Now I want to put my skills and care to good use on Rover! Pet care is part of my daily routine through feeding, fresh water, and basic attention like play or walks. Weekly, I do things like cleaning their space, grooming, and restocking supplies. It just becomes a normal part of my schedule over time. I care for pets in my home by setting specific times in my schedule to take care of them as needed. And in your home I would be able to feed, water, and interact with your pets.
“I highly recommend Kayleigh. I needed someone to take care of my older cat (Boots) with health issues for over 3 weeks while I was in Europe. Due to her health issues Boots needs to be fed twice a day. Kayleigh did an excellent job. Boots obviously enjoyed having Kayleigh take care of her. Kayleigh is very responsive and very responsible. I got pictures/reports every day and I never worried about Boots. I had to add an extra day at the end and that occurred effortlessly while I was still in Europe. Kayleigh took excellent care of Boots and I will have her take care of Boots again.”

“Chris is an exceptional dog walker and caretaker. His kindness and genuine love for animals shine through in everything he does. He goes above and beyond to ensure my dogs feel comfortable and cared for, always paying attention to their individual needs. His dedication and thoughtfulness make him truly one of a kind. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”


About: I am in my third year of veterinary school and have been caring for pets for many years as a veterinary assistant, pet sitter and veterinary student. I have taken care of cats, dogs, small mammals, reptiles, birds and chickens. I am experienced in medicating and caring for animals with special needs! I am a veterinary student and am looking to pet sit between studying for NAVLE. I am very flexible with my hours, so let me know what works best for your pets! I am able to care for pets in the comfort of their own homes! This allows for pets to feel safer in their routine and I can drop by for check ins and walks multiple times a day.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have loved them for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals is second nature to me. In fact, I’m the proud owner of a sweet 4-year-old Golden Retriever, so I fully understand the daily dedication, love, and attention that dogs need to thrive! For over a decade, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in, feed, walk, and play with their pets. I treat every animal with the same high level of care and patience that I give my own pup, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a seamless part of my daily routine since I already manage a structured schedule for my own dog. I have excellent availability throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, and playtime, ensuring your pet gets consistent attention and care right when they need it. Having grown up around dogs and raising my own pup, I know exactly how to maintain a safe, low-stress environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure all environments are secure before playtime. You can always count on receiving frequent communication, photo updates, and careful attention to your pet's specific safety needs. I also have a fenced in backyard at my own home and a 4 year old friendly golden retriever.
About: i have a large history of taking care of dogs and have watched many different breeds and age ranges (from puppy's to senior dogs). On weekends i volunteer at a local shelter to help walk dogs that have yet to find there forever home. I am currently a college student with a small part time job at my school but i can easily fit in dog walking between classes and work. While watching dogs in the clients home i want to make sure they are kept in a fenced off area or always on a leash to ensure safety
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Dogs have always been part of my life—I grew up with a childhood dog and currently have one of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. In addition to my personal experience, I’m actively involved in a UKC club and am a certified judge, which has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, structure, and temperament. Working with dogs in this environment has helped me develop patience, observation skills, and the ability to read dogs’ needs and body language. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and my goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, playtime, or just some company and care, I treat every dog like they’re my own. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive care and regular updates, so you’ll always know your pup is in good hands! I currently work in a after school program as a music teacher, as well as taking care of my own dog. I am free, and capable to help anyone out from 7am - 1pm making sure that their own pet is looked after while they are away. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide safe walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention so your dog feels comfortable while you’re away.
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 have always loved all kinds of animals! I have experience with numerous kinds of dogs and cats, of all ages and demeanors. I have housesat and pet sat since I was in High School, and can help look after your plant babies as well. I also have Volunteer experience at my local dog shelter, so I know how to deal with dogs in high stress environments. I do work afternoons on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, but even then, I am free beforehand and am always back before dinner time. I will prioritize your pet and can offer to go over multiple times a day, and I’m free the whole day when I don’t have work! I prefer to care for pets in clients homes since they are more used to their environment and because I have roommates at my home.

“Kerie is our life saver taking care of our little ones so we can take a longer trip to see friends. She texted us to let us know how they were when she visited them. Very happy!!”

I am a student athlete at the University of Mary Washington, now that our season is over, my hours are more flexible and I have ample time to go on walks and watch the pets so they get a good stretch and playtime.

Before 4 I have open availability M-F so I can go spend all the time I can with everyone. We can go on walks, go find new adventures. With time management and care. They are like children, then need a set schedule. I would love to make schedules for everyone so that they are calm and collected.
Fredericksburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!

We have now been with Kathryn for regular drop in visits for the last 4 months and plan to continue. She is truly a fantastic sitter and so in tune with my dog's needs! She is also so respectful of my house and gives very detailed reports. My dog Fern adores her! We highly recommend Kathryn to take of your pet!

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!
