“Emily took such good care of my dog Rocky while I was away for the weekend. I've already booked her again for another house sitting service during the week! She sent me so many cute videos with updates of how Rocky was doing. She ran through his commands with him, took him on a walk and gave him so many pets!!! She was responsive to my messages and read through Rocky's care instructions. She is very experienced with dogs and understood when I mentioned that Rocky is dog reactive and has some separation anxiety. I would highly recommend her for your pet needs!!! Thanks again Emily!”
“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.”
About: Life is Good with pets! I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs for over 5 years. I have always had different dogs in my life from childhood to adulthood. I’ve seen how happy my own pet is from taking him on regular walks and I am excited to provide this same experience for other pets. I have a large, fenced yard in a semi-rural neighborhood, and I enjoy taking dogs on nice long walks. Pets are allowed on furniture to snuggle and I am also happy to crate train pets, if preferred. I am currently working from home, so I have most of my time to give attention and love to your pet. I am happy to provide these services at all times. I have plenty space and a fenced yard for your pet to play or simple go on potty breaks, if needed. The services requested will be depending on the customers offer :)
“Megan took care of my senior dog Reese without any issues. She kept me up to date with pictures and text messages. Reese seemed relaxed and rested when we got home versus going to a kennel. I highly recommend Megan for pet sitting and all services she provides.”

“This is the second time we had Tessa come and stay in our home while we were away. She took great care of our animals and was respectful of our home. I won’t hesitate to book her again for a long trip.”
About: I have cared for friends and family dogs. I think they can tell when you like them. I’ve always been able to connect with dogs. I’m retired. I was an LPN for 30yrs. I have lots of free time to care for your dog. I definitely can give them meds.😊 If you have fenced yard. I’d play with them clean up and check on them often and bring them in and make sure gates are secure.
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.
About: I have experience with cats and dogs, but I am open to try working with all animals! I am a retired social worker with 32 years of caring for seniors and foster children. I have a caring heart and I would have lots more pets if I could. This will give me the opportunity to love your animals and fill my heart. I retired two years ago after 32 years in the social services industry and I just finished my first year of substitute teaching part-time. I love animals and have heard great reviews for Rover. I have a fenced in back yard because I have one small 5 year old Teddy Bear. I have two extra cranes that I can use, if needed. I also have a garage, just in case. My husband is also retired and an animal lover, in case I need help. We also visit dog parks, if that is an option for your dog. Also live in a walking development. Our dog loves cartruck rides, so that is an option.

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.

Tammy H.
“Tammie cared for my dog who suffered from PTSD and had several triggers for unfavorable behaviors. She took the time to learn the things that set him off so that she would be sure not to do them so that he felt safe and instructed the rest of her family how not to trigger him as well. She took extra special care of him and it was a comfort to me to know that he was being well-cared for in a way that wasn’t causing him more trauma during my absence.”
