“Brett was responsible, communicative, and took good care of my high-energy dog and my home. I will definitely book him again.”


“Emily is very responsible, she drove from far away and even with the bad traffic she managed to make it to take care of Hazel. She treated my little girl with love and care, she did everything that I asked of her. She also sent me pictures and videos while I was away. Hazel loved her! I highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”


About: I have had the pleasure with working with the biggest dogs to the smallest kittens. I’m also down to help out with mail or trash, just let me know! I do work a part time job and am an online student so my schedule if up in the air most of the time. However, I will make sure that I will work your best bud into my schedule as much as needed! I will take care of your fur balls as my own, if you have treats, I will be using them. I spoil my pets so I hope your ok with me spoiling yours, if they’re on a diet then that would be different of course.

“Kathy watched our dog and housesat for us for an entire week. She communicated with us the entire time and sent photos and videos. She kept the house spotless and made sure to bring in the mail every day. We were never worried about our puppy or the house. Kathy was great and we can’t wait to book her again.”


“Carse provided terrific care for our pups!”


“Megan is a blessing. Sent us lots of photos and videos of our pups while we were away and missing them. She left our home very clean for us too. She put our minds at ease for our first trip away from our pups.”


About: I have had dogs since I was a toddler and have grown up caring for them. I currently have one of my own (8yrs) who is my entire world. I currently work full time for a consulting firm but I am looking to do pet care part time. My weekends are usually open and weeknights are also pretty flexible. Pet sitting is my way of stopping myself from getting another dog. I love spending time with all animals, but especially in places where they feel comfortable. Each visit will involve a walk and some play time and a lot of love. I try to get my own dog out as much as possible so I would aim to do the same for yours as well.

About: I absolutely love animals and would consider it an honor to care for your furry family members when the need arises. I worked as a part-time pet and house sitter for 3 plus years in Northern Virginia and only stopped when I moved to Stephens City. I am looking forward starting up again to earn a little extra income. I am experienced in house sitting as well. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

“Darian was amazing! She house sat for our three cats, two dogs, and backyard chickens. She gave us peace of mind knowing she was responsible, caring, and professional. She really cared for our animals like they were her own. We will definitely be asking her to take care of our girls again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone.”


“Jon took great care of our house, 2 dogs, and 2 cats! Our pets are relaxed and happy and the house is very tidy. Jon is thoughtful and thorough. He walked and played with the dogs often and sent photos several times a day. He followed all of our instructions well including giving medicine to one of our dogs.”


“Allyson is a fantastic fur baby sitter. We greatly appreciate her and her willingness to stay in our home with our 4 fur babies. Allyson is awesome and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a furbaby sitter in our area.”


About: Hi! I am Briana I have 8 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats, and I would love to take care of your furry friends! I have lots of energy and would love to walk/play with your fur babies. I have experience administering medication to animals, and aiding my elderly dog in her declining health. I’m currently out of school for the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. Time with your pets will not be rushed. I can crate your dog if needed even if they are big/stubborn I am very strong even though I don’t look it this also goes for walking, I can ensure your dog doesn’t get off of the leash. I will make sure to leave a clients home just as I found it and I am not afraid to pick up poop.

“Virginia was able to take care of our pooches for us during a recent overnight camping trip. As soon as she came over to meet the dogs before our trip, we knew they'd be in perfect hands. They both immediately loved her and I am definitely one of those people who trust my dogs' instincts when it comes to people :-) Both of them immediately start vying for her attention and I knew there was no way they'd even notice we were gone. We were so happy to have Virginia close by and able to watch our pups. We'll definitely be working with her again!”


“Dayne is awesome! Her dog and my shih-tzu got along perfectly. Felt so at ease leaving her for the weekend.”


“Mackenzie stayed with my two dogs and two cats overnight. The whole crew is used to my being around a lot so I knew I needed someone to stay here. I came home to happy animals who didn’t seem to miss me at all! I will definitely use her again.”


“Pam was absolutely wonderful with our big dog, Rocky! He is a 90lbs Lab/rottweiler mix who can be a handful at times. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on our week long trip away from home. She was a real life saver for us! Especially since our dog has had negative experiences with being kenneled in the past. We're glad we were able to leave him home with an awesome pet sitter like Pam. Rocky seemed much more comfortable at home with her. We would highly recommend her for your pet needs! She is definitely an animal lover and it shows in her work. Thank you Pam!!!”


About: I’ve taken care of tons of dogs throughout my life, both my own and others. I have done this at others houses, as well as my own. I’ve taken care of big dogs mostly, and I also have experience with senior dogs (not so much with puppies). ABOUT ME: Hi, I’m a college junior currently working on Rover for the duration of Summer 2025. I am open to walking, sitting, boarding, and drop-ins. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like, and I love having the opportunity to engage with new pets. I promise that if you book with me, your dog will receive the care and attention that it deserves for the duration of the booking. I will care for your pet as if it were my own. Expect multiple pictures and updates throughout the day. My goal is for owners to be able to trust that their pet is being given the same care under me that they’d be given under normal circumstances. Being in unfamiliar environments can be terrifying for many dogs, and I utilize the experiences i’ve had with numerous dogs over the years to provide a loving, yet safe, home for the dogs. I am currently working full-time, but I have free-time on weekends and some weekdays. Pet care has always been a priority, whether my own pets or others. I prefer morning drop offs and pickups due to my schedule. I love to stay active, so incorporating walks into my day is easy. In my home I take the dogs for walks around the neighborhood on a consistent basis, and the same applies to the homes of others. If the owner is interested, I also take dogs to the park (off-leash area if able) and give them a nice bit of exercise. I encourage meet and greets for boarding, because I want to be certain that our dogs will get along! I have one XL kennel for dogs, so no need to bring one. I try to replicate the environment that the dogs have at home, so if the dogs sleep in a cage then I try to do the same here. If they sleep on a couch/bed, the same applies.

About: - Please note: On my property I have created a private fenced dog park and will pick u your fur baby, travel to my private dog park, spend a few hours having amazing fun and then travel back home, happy as can be and exhausted! - I have been a volunteer and foster of shelter animals as well as rescuing and providing a forever home for animals for many years. I worked at a shelter for a short time before resigning to open my own animal rescue. Working at an animal shelter opened my eyes to so many issues and reasons why people surrender their animals. I am currently in the process of opening an animal rescue through fostering each animal while finding a forever home for them. In addition, my rescue will focus on educating the public on the responsibilities of owning an animal over its lifetime. Opening a Non Profit rescue is what I am doing in my spare time because I have to continue to earn a living to provide for my family. Dog/cat sitting is the perfect profession for me because I get to continue to work with animals on a full-time basis and I feel this is the area in which I thrive and can continue to help with providing the best care possible. Over the years I have learned something from every animal I have worked with and/or owned. In recent years, I have completed training in Behavior Adjustment Training and The DO NO HARM DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR HANDBOOK. I have the skills to know how to positively and appropriately approach animals as well as interact with them in a healthy way. In addition, I have the skills to quickly earn the trust of an animal. I am hoping that caring for animals will become my profession because I feel that I thrive in this area. Animals are the food for my soul and it would be a dream come true to work with them on a full-time basis. In my home and in my client’s home I practice what I have learned through attending dog training school as well as reading and practicing “THE DO NO HARM DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR HANDBOOK.” Through school and experience I have learned how to appropriately approach animals, how to interact in a positive manner and how to gain the trust of an animal. In addition, I have the skills to positively interact with animals that may have difficulty walking on a leash, excessive jumping and much more.


“We can’t recommend Sara enough! She recently cared for our two dogs, Frankie and Lulu, as well as our fish, and went above and beyond by making sure the bird feeder was stocked for the wild birds. Her attentiveness and thoughtfulness were evident from day one. She sent us daily updates and plenty of pictures of Frankie and Lulu, which kept us reassured and connected while we were away. It was clear Sara treated our home and pets as if they were her own. Frankie and Lulu were happy and relaxed when we returned, and everything in the house was spotless. Knowing our pets were in such good hands made our time away completely stress-free. We’re so grateful for Sara and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”


About: I enjoy animals because just like humans, they’re all so different with unique personalities. I take pride in my patience and my understanding of the way some animals need more and some need less. I’m attentive in any way they need. Outside of having a good understanding of animals in general, I understand that they’re similar to children. We are who the animals look up to and having a safe and trusting environment for them to be in will always benefit the sitter and the animal. With that being said, any kind of safety or trust that is asked of me (or expected in general), I will go above and beyond to ensure. I am a hairstylist and I work part time in Stephen city Sunday through Wednesday. I have very short shifts so I can also be there for your animals before or after work. I am free Thursday to Saturday all day. I have a 90lb pit bull terrier mix in my home, I don’t have a fenced in yard. We walk him on a leash. I would never bring him with me to anyone’s home. As to having a safe and trustworthy environment I will treat your animals like my own. I’ve had my fur baby for almost 6 years from the rescue.
