“I highly recommend Sheri! She was incredibly reliable and made us feel at ease while we were away. Her friendly demeanor put our cats at ease, and it was clear she genuinely cares about pets. She took thorough notes on all our instructions, ensuring everything was followed perfectly. We returned home to happy, well-cared-for cats and home, and it felt like they were in great hands the entire time. Will definitely book again!”
“Holli has been fantastic with our cats! She is very sweet and goes the extra mile. We have had the best experience with her and we will absolutely continue to book her in the future.”
“Chelsea was great with our cat Minnie again. While we were gone, there was a spider problem at the house and Chelsea went above and beyond to make sure Minnie was taken care of. We appreciate her dedication to our cat. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: As a passionate animal advocate, I've had the privilege of serving as the Foster Care Coordinator at the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society for 1 year, while also volunteering with shelters throughout my adult life. Additionally, I'm a Certified Veterinarian Assistant, and my life's journey has been enriched by sharing it with diverse animals, from beloved domestic pets like dogs and cats, to hospice and senior animals. I'm committed to providing your cherished pets with the same love, care, and compassion that I've devoted to my own. I am thrilled to be available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. If you have a special request for different hours, I invite you to share your needs and I will eagerly discuss and arrange a solution that works for you. I will nurture your fur babies with the same love and devotion I would shower upon my own precious little ones. With my extensive shelter experience, I have been blessed to work with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, temperaments and life stages. I have had the joy of caring for rambunctious puppies and the privilege of providing comfort to senior dogs and cats.
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She stepped in last minute for a drop-in appointment, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She took great care of our dogs, giving them plenty of attention and even playing a game of catch to make sure they got some exercise and fun. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals, and our dogs were happy and well-cared for when we got home. Highly recommend her services—she was a lifesaver!”
About: Trustworthy and Caring Dog Sitter with Over a Decade of Personal Dog Ownership Experience. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter. I look forward to providing a safe and trustworthy environment for your dog, filled with love, care, and endless belly rubs. I currently work outside the home full-time M-F with a lunch break at 1200 where I come home and walk my 12 year old dog. I have a fenced yard, a 12 year old Yorkie, and plenty of places for your pup to explore on walks. Your pup will be cared for as a member of the family.
“Victoria took great care of my cat! I was worried my cat would be very shy and lonely while I was gone but Victoria sent plenty of pictures showing her and my cat hanging out, which really relieved my concerns. Would definitely use her again in the future.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Jess for our first time using Rover. She made us feel at ease, clearly loved dogs, and made the most of each visit with our dogs. We would gladly trust Jess with our dogs in the future!”
“It was a holiday weekend and stressful to begin with, especially finding care for Maxx. Rebecca made that the least of my worries. She was really great with Maxx (he is a big boy and can be a handful) and the high points of my days away were her comments and pictures of what they did together and how he was doing. She also did a lot of little things she really didn't have to: taking him for a little walk, scooping my cat's box, taking out the trash, etc. I really could not have made a better choice! Thanks Rebecca!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up in a family that showed dogs. And now I own a large rescue dog that came to me with a severe condition. Im fully capable of giving dogs and cats pills and treats!!! I also am used to large and reactive dogs. All the way to the smallest cat! I have trained puppies and taken multiple all the way through courses to become athletic dogs. I’d love to help clean up any messes and bring in packages! I work full time but am always available on weekends and nights. I always have time before and after work! I’m available every holiday and close to the busch gardens area . I am always available to pop over last minute! I love being outside with animals or just playing with them in the house! I love taking pictures and sending updates daily!
“Carissa was so wonderful and considerate with my puppy. She was always prompt and respectful. I loved her updates and pictures. I am very grateful for how good she was to my baby. :)”
About: Hello! My name is Zach, I have two dogs and two cats of my own and have grown up with no less than four pets at any given time. Often when I meet people's furry companions I'm told they warm up to me faster than normal and even some times for the first time, so I'm open to try to care for almost any pet! Responsiveness, honesty, and genuine care should be expected from a pet sitter - let me know if I can help! My partner and I work from home so we're available and flexible throughout the week for all pet care services. Just let us know when and we can try to make it work! I have a big but unfenced yard, two sweet begal-hound mix brothers (one is energetic, the other lazy) and two sweet and playful cat sisters. It's a cozy and fun home environment. All the animals get plenty of attention (we love to play) and the dogs are let out consistently throughout the day. I can crate if needed, follow any special instructions, and we have a spare room if space is needed. Your pet will be treated as our own, just let us know!
“Amber is the most compassionate and animal loving person I know! She goes the extra mile to ensure the pet she’s caring for (in this case an extremely shy and nervous 2 year old cat). Amber sent lots of photos (mostly of my cat hiding under the sofa) and she ensured Valentine was eating, drinking water and using her litter box normally. She kept me updated on a regular basis throughout the time we were gone. Amber even filled the bird feeders so Valentine had lots of birds to keep her entertained. I would definitely recommend Amber for taking care of your pets. She’s reliable, punctual, communicates well and is loving and caring too! What more do you want from a pet sitter taking care of your fur baby? Nothing! Because Amber is the best at what she does and that’s exactly what I look for when needing a pet sitter!”
“Melanie was fantastic taking care of my cat, Jimmy. I went out of state for Christmas and had her come twice a day for a week to feed him and clean his litter box. She sent me pics, videos and notes the whole time which was comforting since I had never left him for more than 2 days before this trip. She even took my trash and cleaned out the sink of his bowls. I can definitely recommend Melanie!”
“Highly recommend Kellie! She was wonderful with our pets despite having to take care of a grumpy Pyrenees on antibiotics. She kept us updated and sent pics as well. We will definitely use her for our pet sitting needs again.”

Ruthanne R.
“Ruthanne truly enjoys caring for animals. I've seen her comforting a young puppy with health issues to make him feel safe and loved while he was receiving medical treatment at the shelter. I've also seen her with multiple puppies and kittens at different times and also sharing her workspace with a senior cat on one occasion . In every scenario, Ruthanne was so patient, calm and caring, giving each animal what they needed at that moment. I would certainly feel comfortable with her caring for all of my fur babies!”
