About: I’ve looked after my neighborhood pets since I was 13. I’ve primarily cared for dogs and cats, but I’ve also looked after hermit crabs, a bearded dragon, fish, and canaries. I’ve looked after all different kinds of dogs of all different ages. I have experience with both crate trained and free-roaming dogs as well. Owners trust me to make sure water bowls are always full, follow their usual feeding times as best as I can, have nice walks outside, as well as spend some time playing before I head out. I am back home from college for the summer looking for a part-time job, so my days are mostly free to look after your pets! When visiting your pet at your home, I’d give them time to get used to my scent. I’m comfortable with both crate trained pets and free roaming pets. I take this position very seriously and will take the best care of your pets while you’re away!

About: I have taken care of animals most of my life, and have had anything from dogs and cats, to chickens and ducks, snakes, goats, llamas, etc. I have successfully trained dogs in basic behavioral skills and administered medication of various forms to all my animals. I also have confidence with even the largest of breeds, having owned a cane corso, among others. I have experience leash training as well as acclimating dogs with new animals and curbing unwanted behavior. I work full- time, but can work with you, especially if I can plan ahead by a week or more. I do occasionally leave town, but again, can generally adjust my schedule accordingly. I prefer to allow animals freedom to roam around if possible, but understand animals have different needs. All walks are leashed, no exceptions unless you have a fully fenced and secure yard you prefer your pet to run around.

About: I am a new sitter on Rover, but don’t let that put you off. :) My family has never known a time where we didn’t have pets! When I was five years old, my parents entrusted to me a sweet black kitty for whom I was solely responsible for. Not only did this experience affirm my love for animals, but it also jumpstarted me into a world of responsibility! Since then, we have rescued dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, happily welcoming “bully” breeds and giving them all the love and care they deserve! I’ve cared for elderly dogs and cats with and without disabilities, as well as those who need certain medications or injections. Further, big breeds do not intimidate me- I love them! Perhaps most importantly, I will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! ❤️ I am currently a graduate student at Virginia Tech, and as such, my weekdays are fairly busy until the evenings. If you need overnight care on the weekdays, let me know and we can work something out! I typically have a couple meetings in the mornings that I can conduct on zoom, but I do have in person class from 2-5 that I will need to leave your home for. Fridays and weekends, however, are wide open! I have two sweet, playful cats currently and live in an apartment, so it is likely that care will be provided in your house! I often find this is better anyway, as your pet is already comfortable in their home and less likely to feel stress with change.

About: I am a lover of all animals! You can trust me with your rodents, reptiles, cats, dogs, and birds! I have experience with most common household pets as well as administering medication to them. My experience working at the vet makes me the perfect person to watch your furry friends. I’m currently trying to find a job in the Blacksburg/Christiansburg area but until then I am looking to pet sit. I do online classes, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! In my house, we do not smoke or vape inside, for the cat’s health. They are all inside cats, and fully vaccinated as well as spayed. They have strict feeding schedules which are always followed to a T. My cat, Pop Smoke, receives eye drops daily so if you need someone who you can trust to administer medication, that’s me! I can also give pills, liquid medication, and administer insulin.

About: I have grown up taking care of many dogs, horses and cats. I will treat every pet as it it were my own. I work full time but over the past few years have been a successful part time dog walker. I am comfortable with medication management and animals of all ages. I am available on the weekends for walking, drop ins and boarding. I am available most evenings for walks and drop ins. During the work week my schedule may vary. I have a large fence in backyard. I can easily crate your dog or keep in his or her own room. Same goes for cats - if boarding they can stay in their own room. I am used to caring for multiple animals at a time and keeping them separate and safe.

About: My family has owned a dog for six years which I have taken care of. I walk, feed, play with, and take care of her vet and medical needs. I have also done a lot of work with animal hope alliance for 3 years and have ample experience with cats. Here at Tech I have pet-sit for several friends during breaks and weekends! I am a graduate student at VT so I do mainly lab work rather than classes and have a lot of freedom to play around with my schedule to make sure that your pets get my undivided attention whenever needed! My weekends are entirely free, especially for any boarding or home sitting needs! I do live in a apartment, but I am very close to the dog park if you allow that, and have a decent sized fenced in area near my complex that is virtually always empty for pets that don’t socialize well with other pets!

About: I have a small bichon who’s my first dog. I trained him alone and have been the sole provider for him. I even take him with me to college and have learned the ins and outs! I’ve even taken care of my friends dogs as well during their trips! I am available most times everyday. I’m home for the summer and have my own transportation. I can be there within minutes if it’s needed! The pets come first 100%. After everything’s taken care of I like to clean after them and make sure everything’s how it was before I even stepped inside!

About: I have always had a love for animals; especially dogs. I have trained many breeds of all ages and am not a afraid of a challenge. I also have 2 years of veterinary knowledge and I have also done grooming on other dogs plus my own. I am a full time college student and im mostly available in the mornings and evenings during weekdays. I am also available on the weekends. Depending on the day, I can do overnight stays but I’m looking for mostly dog walking and day pet sitting. I like to make sure any animals that I interact with are comfortable with me being in their space before I engage with them. Every animal is different just like how every pet owner is different. So I like to communicate my approaches while also understanding the owner’s approach. My goal is to give the pet the best experience with me.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, etc. I’m willing to take care of any types of pets! When I go home from school I have three cats and two dogs. I’ve watched my neighbors, friends, and family’s pets for a couple hours to a couple of days. I’m a full time student at Virginia Tech, however all of my classes are in the morning, so my schedule is extremely flexible throughout the week. During the summer I’m mainly just working at a local vet clinic, so my schedule is still pretty flexible! I will always make it a priority to ask if there are any specific needs or instructions for the pet I am taking care of. I make sure that I give the animal I am watching extra attention, so they can feel as comfortable as possible with me, while their owner is away!

About: I have dog sat for neighbors and family since I was 12. I have had rescue dogs since I was born and they are like family to me. I’m proficient in walking, feeding, bathing, and giving your furry friend love. I currently have a short class schedule and work part time so I have a lot of flexibility in my days and nights. I will most likely be able to fit into your wanted schedule. I will make sure to follow the directions given to me by the owner as the animals safety is of upmost importance to me. I will be sure to make your pet feel loved and safe.

About: I lived around both dogs and cats my whole life, with both family and roommates, and I absolutely love it. While I'm not in the position to have my own furry friend at the moment, I love to care for animals. I spent about a year (2025) volunteering with the MCACAC shelter cats and dogs in Christiansburg, including participating in their training courses, and now feel confident bringing that experience to work with pets that already have found their families as well. I'm currently job hunting, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I am available throughout the day. I am occasionally out of town for travel or job-search related activities. My apartment is is pet-free, so I cannot host pets at this time. As far as working with pets in your home, please let me know your house rules. I generally use whatever items the pet uses at home (leash, treats, etc) for the sake of consistency for the pet and pet parent.

About: I love caring for all animals. I do have previous experience taking care of puppies as well but am willing to look after all ages. I have large breaks in my days between and after my classes so I am always available to help whenever needed. I am also available all day on weekends if necessary. I will follow the instructions left for me closely and will give them all the love and attention they need to be happy. I will treat your just the same as if they were my own.

About: Hello, I’m Iris! I am an avid animal lover with more than five years of professional experience working with all sorts of animals from cats to bats to turtles, and am currently getting a degree in Wildlife Conservation. Needless to say, I have committed my life to taking care of animals. I have worked with all ages; from ten-week-old puppies to senior dogs, I’ve seen it all! I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty and deal with messes or accidents with your furry friend. Anything they need I am happy to take care of! I have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet! If you have questions, concerns, special cases, etc- I am more than happy to make accommodations and go the extra mile. Generally, my availability on a day-to-day basis is as follows: MORNING VISITS: 6am -9am LUNCH VISITS: 11am-1pm NIGHT VISITS: 5pm-Anytime! Feel free to reach out to ask about specific dates & times! If these times don't meet your particular needs, we can try to work something out! Safety and comfort is my number one priority!

About: Hi!! I’m Makenzie and I am a junior studying Pre-Law at VT!! I have two beautiful dogs of my own at home (a Great Dane and a golden retriever). I love to hang out and play with my puppies at home or take them on walks. If your pup is looking for a friend to walk with, I’m down! My family relies on me to take my dogs out and feed them often. I am currently back in Blacksburg until further notice!! My schedule is completely open except for my classes on Tuesday and Thursday. I will update my calendar if anything comes up. Rover is something fun I wanted to try because of my love for animals (and I’m always missing my own). I am a big keep the dog on the leash person. When taking my dogs out they are always on a leash and will never be let out of sight and that will 100% be applied to your dogs as well!

About: I’ve had dogs for over ten years, cats my whole life, been pet sitting for 4 years, and even worked at a doggy daycare for six months. I have experience caring for animals for up to 2 weeks at a time and have cared for dogs, cats, and bunnies. I work at Wonder Universe, the children’s museum in Christiansburg, about 15 hours a week! Otherwise, nothing concrete is on my schedule, and I am happy to work with your needs. I love to get dogs outside for fetch and running loose. I’m happy to do walks whether for potty or just for exercise. I know that play and stimulation are crucial for animals. I’m also a big fan of keeping things tidy (within reason) so any accidental mess from your fur babies will be as if it never happened.

About: I owned a beautiful 7 year old St. Bernard and although he was stubborn he taught me a lot. I am able to control and establish a barrier of trust between us to ensure my safety, his and the safety of those around us because let's be honest he is a big boy (180 lbs to be exact). Taking care of such a big boy, ensures me that I will be able to take care of your fur baby, no matter the size, or temperament. I have cared for many other dogs and house sat a few with behavioral problems as well. I am currently working part time, however my schedule is not exact, so as long as you reach out I will most likely be able to accommodate you and your furry friend. I have a front yard and a large crate meant for any size if necessary. I live in a townhome and can take your dog for as many or as little walks as they need.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and had dogs my whole life. I have helped various neighbors and friends with their pets as well as my own. Working in barn with horses as well from a young age taught me how to be responsible and care for many animals. I have trained my own horse and have also volunteered at local shelters! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am looking for a part time job. I can be available often and at many different times and can fit any work into my schedule. At home I am used to my own dogs using an electric fence and taking them on walks. I am able to do whatever care needed for your pet(s) whether this be crating, walks, or letting them out in the yard and playing with them.
