“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”
“Sai was great and I highly recommend him! My dog got sick while I was away and Sai noticed it right away and kept me updated through the whole stay. He also stayed longer as my flight got delayed. Great communication and care.”
“Addie is hands down the BEST dog sitter myself and my beloved fur baby had the pleasure of working with! She is reliable, trustworthy, kind. She has top tier communication and sent daily updates and videos of my dog Josie! The entire time I was away I couldn’t believe how I struck gold in finding Addie because I didn't once have to worry about Josie. Addie did such a fantastic job I asked her to hold onto my spare key for future drop-in visits and sittings. I trust and value Addie so much and happy to have her apart of Josie’s village! Thank you again, Addie!!”
“Kelly dog sat for us for the first time this December. She communicated each day and sent pictures. We have two dogs and one gets medicine. One is a puppy (1 year old) and very energetic, frequently waking very early. She handled all of their needs very well and I could tell they were well cared for when we returned.”
About: I have always been an avid animal lover and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was 10 years old. When it comes to caring for pets, I always make sure to meet them where they are comfortable because each animal has a unique personality and can have different needs. From puppies still learning the world to seniors that need assistance with mobility, I am more than happy to take the time needed to ensure optimal care. I believe every animal deserves a life full of happiness, and I enjoy nothing more than treating our furry friends to long walks in nature, extra play time with their favorite toys, and as many pets and belly rubs as they would like. I am currently working on my own schedule, so I am highly available during the week and most weekends to care for furry friends. Overall, I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work with your needs. I currently have two cats who enjoy playing and napping, but I previously had a medium-sized mutt who loved running around the fenced-in backyard and going on hikes. I have also fed, walked, and played with both large and small dogs for family, friends, and clients. I am happy to follow any preferred care instructions to best meet the needs of your dog and/or cat.
“We had Kylee stay at our house to take care of our two puppies on the weekend. She is very conscientious in her duties and responded to an issue by asking the on call vet for advice. We were extremely happy with her care.”
“Brianna did a fantastic job of sitting with my crazy pups! One of them can be fear aggressive (bluffs a lot) and Brianna was great with her. So great I got a picture of them cuddling on the sofa the first day! The other pup is super people shy and warmed to Brianna immediately. When she didn't want to eat (which I warned about), Brianna reached out immediately for ideas on how to get her to eat. She didn't wait! I really appreciated that. I gave her a couple of suggestions and she got her to eat! Brianna is fearless and conscientious. She clearly loves pet sitting. I highly recommend her!”
“Renee was a fantastic dog sitter for our 2 girls while we were away. From the very beginning, Renee was responsive and asked questions to ensure she knew everything that was needed to take care of our girls. We received multiple videos daily from walks, playtime, and lounging time. The house was incredibly clean when we got back showing she not only took care of our dogs but our house as well. Would not hesitate to use Renee again when we go out of town next.”
“Shereen is simply fantastic. She’s been walking our senior girl for a few months now, but this was the first time we’ve had her pup-sit. She sent regular updates and amazing photos and it was clear how well both pups were being cared for. I’m pretty sure our dogs don’t want us to come home. 😉”
“Julia was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and two cats for a week - no small feat considering our beagles have separation anxiety and other behavioral issues. Julia has a warm, calm energy and the dogs took to her right away. She’s a great communicator and sent text updates and pics every day. We had complete peace of mind for the entire week.”
“We appreciated Nicole’s attentiveness with our pups, updates and photos, and knew our dogs were so well cared for while we were gone for Thanksgiving.”
“Aly did great taking care of our older pups, including their medication and keeping them company. She was very accommodating when our flight was unexpectedly delayed.”
“Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !”
“Mya did a great job taking care of my dog Winnie. She was communicative and sent lots of fun pictures. I would absolutely trust her to watch Winnie again!”
“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”
“Korrey did such a good job with our dog. He focused on putting her at ease, and prioritized her comfort and keeping her on schedule. We really appreciated that Korrey was so communicative with issues and questions. We came home to a happy dog and a pristine house, so we'd gladly work with Korrey again!”
“Mikaela stayed with Audubon for the weekend and it could not have been better! She was kind and super patient with a dog who has to be bribed to go outside. Mikaela followed Audie’s usual schedule to a T and was intentional about engaging her and playing with her. She provided regular updates and photos. As a bonus Mikaela left the house exactly as she found it. We are lucky to have found Mikaela!”

I cannot recommend Sai highly enough! He is punctual, responsive, caring, and extremely attentive. We always come home to very happy animals and a clean house. He was even available to stay an extra night at the last minute for us due to a family emergency. We are so grateful for you, Sai!
Michelle is absolutely wonderful. Look no further for someone to watch your fur babies. She was so responsive the entire time, sent lots of pictures, and just went above and beyond during her stay. She was also right on time at the beginning of her booking and I felt very comfortable and confident knowing my two pitties were in her hands. I could tell my dogs loved her.
Kelly dog sat for us for the first time this December. She communicated each day and sent pictures. We have two dogs and one gets medicine. One is a puppy (1 year old) and very energetic, frequently waking very early. She handled all of their needs very well and I could tell they were well cared for when we returned.
Ryan did an excellent job housesitting for our two dogs while we went away for our long weekend. He was communicative before the sit and sent regular updates. One of our dogs is reactive, and Ryan successfully his needs. We highly recommend and would book again.
Laurel was fantastic. She was very responsive and an excellent communicator and took wonderful care of our two emotionally needy dogs. She reached out to ask questions very appropriately but was also able to make very good proactive and independent decisions. We got TONS of pictures every day which made me extremely happy. My older dog who doesn't play that much anymore decided that he ADORED Laurel and turned into a puppy again, playing with toys and chasing our enormous Great Dane puppy around the back yard. The house was in excellent condition when we got home and she kindly brought in mail, trashcans, and packages for us. We will definitely use Laurel again when we go out of town!
Molly took wonderful care of our two cats while housesitting for us for a week. She administered pills to a cat who makes it tricky, fed them, played with them, cuddled them, and brushed them. We came home to two happy cats, and a home that was as tidy as we left it. I would absolutely recommend Molly for housesitting and petsitting. While we were out of town, we had complete peace of mind. Molly is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about the wellbeing of animals. Thank you, Molly!
London was wonderful! Very responsive and so helpful with this being our first experience with the Rover app. Our pets are happy and healthy, and the house was returned to us almost as if no one had been there! I highly recommend her, and we would certainly have her back again the next time we travel.
Renee was a fantastic dog sitter for our 2 girls while we were away. From the very beginning, Renee was responsive and asked questions to ensure she knew everything that was needed to take care of our girls. We received multiple videos daily from walks, playtime, and lounging time. The house was incredibly clean when we got back showing she not only took care of our dogs but our house as well. Would not hesitate to use Renee again when we go out of town next.
Fatima was great! My dog can be shy and anxious, so I was worried about leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Fatima’s gentle approach immediately put him (and me) at ease. She was communicative, sending regular updates with photos, and when I came back, my apartment was clean and my dog was happy and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Fatima as a sitter!
