“Liz was wonderful with our boy Cassius. She gave great updates and allowed for my first time rover experience to go smoothly and put my mind at ease. She was great with him and we came home to a happy pup.”

“Caitlin is great with our three cats, and she is accommodating to one of them who has special care instructions. We are regular clients of hers, and she always leaves our home clean. The cats also receive excellent care while we’re away. I highly recommend her!”

About: I am the person you would describe as the "dog person" I take care of my own dogs like they were my children and I would treat your dog or cat the same. I crate trained my dogs, and I am constantly giving them toys to play with. I am currently in between jobs so I am available every day. If you want someone to watch your animals who will be responsible, caring, and thoughtful you should shoot me a message. I have been around dogs of all ages since I was little. My mother always had dogs and cats in my life, she would tell us that dogs should never be mistreated because they will love you and miss you no matter what you do. they deserve the same. As of right now I work part time doing my own cleaning business. I work around my schedule and set my own schedule, so your baby will always be my priority when you schedule with me! Don’t hesitate to ask me about house cleaning at the time of asking about pet care. If I have to host your baby at my house I do have a fenced in yard but I go on regular walks with any animal I watch so that they get enough exercise and potty breaks to keep them happy. I very diligent when dog sitting to give them the exercise and care that they need, you will never have to worry about your baby when they’re with me.

“Allison was amazing! Super kind, reliable, and great with our dogs. She kept me updated the whole time, sent plenty of pictures and made everything stress-free. Couldn’t ask for better care!”

“Kristen provided great care for our fur babies. She was dependable, a good communicator and made me feel at ease while we were away. I lived getting updates and seeing photos of my pets. Definitely recommend, will be calling on her services again.”

About: We are a dog family through and through. My husband and I have had dogs our whole lives. Together we have always had a dog as well. Large house with a fenced in back yard. Lots of space to run. We have a large black lab/Shepard mix that requires a lot of exercise so that is a regular thing. We both work full time but will will have weekend open to watch your pets. On the weekends we are up with our dog by 6 AM and would not leave for more than a couple hours at a time. We have a fenced in backyard and a nice area for walking the dogs. We have a 5 year old 100lb lab Shepard mix. He loves other dogs but due to his size and energy other dogs don’t always love him. Would need to do a meet and greet to make sure they would be okay

About: Hi! I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for high-energy breeds. I currently share my home with a Red Heeler and a Goldendoodle, both of whom require significant daily exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. This has given me strong skills in managing active dogs and creating structured, enriching routines. My professional background includes working as an EMT and now as a behavior technician, which has shaped my calm, attentive, and safety-first approach. I’m trained to stay level-headed in emergencies, read behavior cues, and provide patient, consistent care. I’m also an avid surfer, so I’m naturally active and love the outdoors. I’m using Rover as a side gig and I’m always open to long visits, overnight stays, and extended care. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet like family. You can trust that your pet will receive unconditional love, reliable attention, and excellent care while with me. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can fit your pet’s needs into my day and I’m happy to work around your schedule. I’m also available on weekends, plus open to long visits and overnight stays. I live in an apartment complex with a big fenced area for the dogs to play in. There is also trails by the apartment that I walk. Your pet will get care, and exercise all while having the time of their lives!!
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in my life. I worked as a vet assistant and I’m now working towards a certification of vet assistant. I have one cat and one lizard. I had 12 dogs before and took care of them all. Ranged from chihuahuas to pit bulls. I’m currently working in the military. And I live animals very very much. I have a cat named Gray and a bearded dragon named Shmoop. I would have to go to clients house to care for the animals, as I live in apartments at the moment. I would need to know how owner does certain things for the animals.

About: Hey there! My name is Ravyn. I’m a military spouse, and a stay at home mom to our 1 year old boy. We have 3 hyper doggies of our own at home who love and adore our baby. With my flexible lifestyle, I’m able to be fully available for drop ins and dog walking all day long, whatever time you need, for however long you need. I’m quick, attentive, friendly, and great with communication. I’m very well experienced with hyper, high maintenance, puppies, as well as giving medication to elderly dogs. I’ve had dogs my whole life, all different types, and sizes, and I always adjust to their wants and needs. Can’t wait to meet your pup(s) and form a relationship to make them feel comfortable while you’re gone! My lifestyle being an SAHM and a military spouse gives me the flexibility to meet your drop in needs. 6am-5pm my son will be with me (who loves dogs!) and anytime after 5pm it will be just me. I’ve had dogs of my own who have struggled with anxieties, anxiousness, and alertness. So gaining their trust from the beginning is very important to me to form a strong foundation with them. I adjust my sitting based on their behavior, I can be sweet if they need love, and I can be stern if they need structure. I can also water your plants, check your mail, and make sure your house is kept in order while I’m doing my drop in visit to take any added stress off of you while your gone.
“Amanda was very pleasant to work with. She was very personable with my 2 cats, especially with my younger male adopted as a stray. He is very timid and runs from strangers, but he let her pet as shown by the many pictures she posted. I will definitely book her again.”

“This was our first booking using this app, and I am thankful that Andrea was easy to work with. We booked last minute and did not have time to meet and greet, and she was accommodating of this. Our address is tricky and doesn't always show up on maps, but she was able to work around that, too. She sent us photos of our two cats, daily updates about their activity, and made sure they had food and water.”

“Robyn has been the best with our puppy! She also is very accommodating with our schedule within reason for both of us and is an OUTSTANDING communicator. 10/10 recommend her for all your pet needs”

James City pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover and Caitlin was so sweet and loving to our pups! They instantly loved her and waited for her with so much anticipation. She played and loved them like her own. I loved reviewing her cards and pictures! I know they’ll be excited to see her again soon!

Bethany did a great job with our two kitties! They both can be pretty timid, but it didn’t take long for them to get used to/trust her. We were grateful for the daily pictures and updates and if anything ever went wrong, Bethany was prompt in letting us know.
