“I cannot express how much I appreciated the service. Above and beyond in all respects. Pretty last minute booking, very quick to respond. So sweet and kind. Top notch communication and sent all kinds of pictures. Even swept up the litter and did other extras that were absolutely more than was needed. So very appreciative. Absolutely the best pet sitter experience! Thank you so much for your time and effort. You're amazing!”
“My dog, Cassie, can be very wary of strangers and Tasha handled it like a pro! She sent lots of pictures, let me know what was going on with the fur babes, and left the place just as neat as it was left to her. Definitely would recommend!”
“Gigi was fantastic! She stayed with our two dogs for five days and nights and kept in touch with us daily. It was clear she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them and cared for them as if they were her own. The house was exactly as we left it—she even went above and beyond by washing the bedding. We’ll definitely be booking with Gigi again. Oscar and Lola can’t wait to see her again! 😊”
“Abbigail was great with my dog and loved the pictures she took and sent to me with updates. It’s hard to leave my dog and be out of town, but with Abby I felt more comfortable. I will be rebooking again when I need to go out of town.”
“Alison is amazing and I highly recommend her! She was my first sitter using Rover and the first dog sitter I’ve hired that I didn’t know. She took excellent care of my senior dog Jax (13 year old malamute mix with arthritis who is on multiple medications) and excellent care of my home! I was nervous about leaving him, but my nerves were instantly calmed when I met her for an introduction meeting before my trip. She sent multiple photos each day and her updates on how he was doing made me feel like she genuinely cared about him. I usually get some attitude from Jax for leaving him, but he was in such good spirits when I came home that I really think he enjoyed his time with her. The house was the least of my concerns, but she took excellent care of that as well! Don’t hesitate to book with her if she’s available! I would give her 100 stars if possible.”
“Stacey was amazing! Our baby has pretty high energy and he was having a really hard time the first day but she had so much patience with him & kept working with him to make him feel more comfortable. She even did daily check ins with me. We will definitely be using her again! :)”
“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”
About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.
“We appreciated Ben's care of our girls so much! This was our first booking with him and he was very thorough and thoughtful at the meet and greet. Ben communicated with us and sent pics throughout the weekend. We will book him to stay with our precious girls again.”
“Kyla was dependable and attentive to our dog Rue. She took daily care of Rue including medications and sent us daily updates. She also left the house looking just as when we left it. Highly recommend.”
“Shelby was very communicative, took great care of my cat. I can tell the difference when my cat’s needs are not met as she gets clingy when I get back. This did not happen at all. Very happy.”
About: I did an internship at medical mutts where I trained service dogs and helped take care of them. I’ve watched friends dogs. I train dogs too! I’m not really doing anything, so I’m available pretty much whenever, I am totally flexible. I can do long term or short term schedules. I want your dog to be safe! I’m unfortunately not able to do boarding at my house, but I can take your dog out to see my little brothers or my grandma because she loves dogs, I can take your dog to the park and I can even train your dog!
“We hired Emma to house sit our three pugs for a week while we went out of town. She greatly exceeded our expectations and was reliable, friendly and trustworthy with our dogs, staying in daily contact with us and providing excellent care!”
“Ann was fabulous with our elderly min pin and kitty. They both have meds and a schedule that works well and Ann was able to master that for the time she cared for our two furry kids. She spent a couple of nights and days and both pets were calm and fine when we returned. I would have Ann sit for our kiddos again!”
About: Hello! My name is Nicole, and I recently moved to the Martinsville area and am reopening my pet sitting business. I’ve been providing professional pet care for dogs and cats since 2016, and my boyfriend, Evan, and I are excited to continue offering services here. We're animal people. We share our home with two senior cats and a playful young Basset Hound named Banjo. I am a nurse by profession, so I’m comfortable giving all types of medications. My boyfriend, Evan, works from home, which means there’s always someone around to give your pets undivided attention, frequent walks, and potty breaks. We're well-experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. The dogs we sit in our home must be comfortable with cats and other dogs. We offer a calm, quiet environment for docile, shy, or senior dogs, and for young or active dogs, we can provide a fun and playful atmosphere. We're also comfortable reinforcing any obedience or training you've been working on, so your pet won't miss a beat. If you're looking for a safe, loving home for your pet while you're away, we'd be honored to take care of them! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. My partner and I work from home so we are here and very attentive to all pets that we board. We're familiar with basic dog training, obedience, and safety. We live on a quiet farm in a small house. The area is really quiet and not close to any main roads. We prioritize safety for our pets and boarders

Laura M.
“Laura is a fantastic pet caregiver with over 20 years of experience. She is incredibly responsible, loving, and attentive to animals of all kinds. I’ve seen firsthand how well she cares for pets, including cats, dogs, and even small animals like guinea pigs. She provides a safe, nurturing environment and truly understands each pet’s unique needs. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Laura looking after their furry (or not-so-furry) family members! Highly recommend!”
