About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 10 years now. I own 3 dogs myself and take care of them everyday. I have also worked at an overnight boarding place for animals, volunteered at animal shelters, fed many pets, walked many dogs, and I hope to continue bettering animals. I am currently working a part-time job however, i am available after 5pm on Tuesday’s, Wednesday's, and Friday’s. I am unavailable Mondays & Thursday’s. I am fully available on weekends! I will make sure your pets have everything they need whether that’s attention, belly rubs, extra potty breaks, long walks, or even a cuddle buddy

“I want to thank Marissa for being able to step up on what could only be described as a very short notice emergency for my wife and I. She did a fantastic job and I would recommend her to anyone in the Williamsburg area to take care their beloved pet family members.”

About: I have been looking after my neighbors' animals and my own for years, so I have a lot of experience when it comes to pets. I love dogs of any shape and size, and having bigger dogs myself has taught me how to handle them. I have a pretty good grasp on dogs and their behavior due to having an interest in them since I was little. I am happy to do just about anything, whether that be feeding, walking, playing with, or just hanging out with your dog. I am quick to learn how to do things as well, so if they have special requirements, I am happy to learn! I work part-time and am looking for something to supplement my time over the summer, as hours are hard to come by right now. My schedule is very flexible, as I don't get up to much. I can be there as early or as late as you need, though I am more of an afternoon-night person. I am happy to do whatever is necessary to keep your pet safe and comfortable. If they need to be put in a crate or kept in a specific room of the house, I can handle that! I also have experience with keeping pets from darting out the door on my way in and out, so no worries about escapees!

“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: Ever sense I was a kid I've loved taking care of any animal under the sun, and I still do. When I got my first dog I was so excited and loved him no matter what. I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world for your pets. I am avaliable on weekdays at anytime and will give your pets the attention they want. I can give all of my attention to your pets and make them feel happy and excited or the opposite where both of us can relax and enjoy eachothers company.

About: I am a licensed attorney by day and lifelong animal lover at heart. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule while spending time in Virginia helping and supporting my mother as she approaches retirement. My flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day, evenings, and overnight stays. I began my own small dog-walking business in San Francisco while I was in college and later worked through Rover walking large-breed dogs and cat-sitting while studying for the California Bar Exam and working as a paralegal. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs, but I especially love giant breeds like Great Danes. I also adore cats and currently have my own beloved cat, DJ Mustard, who has made me even more attentive to feline personalities, routines, and comfort. Animals have always brought joy and grounding to my life. I believe pets deserve patient, loving, observant care and that owners should feel completely comfortable while away from home. I am calm, responsible, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routines. For overnight stays, I also offer optional extras at a bargain cost including homemade pet treats from recipes I have developed myself as well as seasonal or holiday-themed pet portraits and photos. I offer discounts for teachers and service members in honor of my mother, who is a teacher, and my grandfather, who served in the United States Navy. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, medication, overnight comfort, or simply someone dependable and kind, I would love the opportunity to care for them. As a remote professional with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine through walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, overnight care, and check-ins. Licensed attorney with extensive background checks who provides attentive in-home pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, companionship, overnight support, and thoughtful communication updates.

“Carissa is awesome with my girl, Nyla!! She took such good care of her while I was gone. I was so worried about Nyla but Carissa reassured me that she was in good hands! Carissa also took such good care of my house like it was her own, which gave me such piece of mind while I was gone! I would highly recommend Carissa for anyone who is looking for a responsible, caring person to watch their house and/or dog while they’re gone!”

Emily G.

“Ashlyn did a great job watching our three peis. She was very communicative and sent updates with pictures. She was able to meet all their needs including administering medication for one of them and she left the house was neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend her and would also use her again.”

Bridget D.

About: I signed up to help others care for their pets because I use Rover as well. Having a trusted individual available to care for our furry friends is important. I provide excellent pet care service for others. I will inquire about your pet’s personality, special needs, likes and dislikes. I will professionally communicate with you, treat your pet with great care, and your property with respect if welcomed into your home. Thanks for considering my services, I look forward to hearing from you. Here to help. I am employed full time. Any assistance I would be able to provide would be early morning, late evening during the weekdays, and much greater flexibility on the weekend. I will care for your pets and be respectful to your home. For me that begins with good communication between you and me. Setting clear expectations between us and getting to know your pets as best as possible before the first visit.

“Lauren sent pictures and kept us posted on our pets well being. They all seemed very happy. She was flexible as we returned early but we made sure she was compensated for the entire booking.”

“Maggie was great! Very responsive and my dogs loved her. She kept my house in great condition to return to and was super flexible, will use her again!”

“Nicole took wonderful care of my pup. She stayed in communication with me throughout my trip and sent me tons of pictures. I highly recommend her and will book her for all my future dog sitting needs.”

“Ehlaura took good care of our two golden retrievers and the house! Everything was in good order and the dogs were happy when we returned. I’d have no problem contacting her again.”

Chris H.

About: I have cared for many pets and homes over the years, the vast majority being repeat clients. I prefer to stay in-home with the pets to reduce their anxiety, provide a sense of normalcy, and retain stability in their owners’ absence. I have booked by word of mouth for over 25 years; this will be my first Rover experience. I am available for your pets the majority of the day, and will be able to work around their set schedules as needed. Very flexible! I strive to provide the care you seek for your four-legged loved ones. Feeding schedules, walking schedules, playtime, and care for your home are all vital factors taken into consideration when considering if this is a mutual match.

“We’ve used Trenton for house sitting for our 3 dogs, and have been pleased both times! We’ll continue to book him when we need care for our kiddos. Great communication and our dogs were very well cared in their regular routine.”
