About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have alot of experience with pet sitting within my neighborhood and family friends. I am a full time elementary education major at VCU, I am looking for a part time opportunity to make extra money. I am free in the mornings from 6-8am, 12:30-3pm, and 7pm to 9pm on Mondays and Tuesdays. Then for Wednesdays and Thursdays I am from from 6am-7am and from 3pm to 9pm as I am in the public schools. I am willing to open my availability on Fridays as well. I am willing and ready to step in wherever you need me. I have a lot of experience with dogs specifically but I am also pretty familiar with cats.
“First experience with the app it was awesome ❤️ Sara was very caring and great with my two dogs?. Sara was very punctual and she was always keeping me updated with the care of my dog will I was in my trip. I definitely going to get in touch with her for the future caring of my dogs. ?❤️?”


“Jp was awesome :) we have an older dog and she made us feel very at ease about her overnight quirks. We were able to leave worry free! She also sent us cute pics that we can’t normally get lol :)”

“Alex took great care of our two dogs! He sent daily updates and photos. Our dogs really enjoyed their time with him. He left the house clean and tidied up. Very happy with the care our dogs got while we were gone, especially our senior!”
“Wesley was wonderful! Super responsive, communicative, and confident with our fur crew from the start. Our dogs can be pretty high energy, but Wesley handled them with patience and clear commands. We’ll definitely be booking with Wesley again!”

“Oli took such great care of our pup and house! We loved the updates and really appreciated Oli’s wonderful communication! We always know Maddie (and the house) is in the best hands with Oli when we are away!!”

“Liz was great! She communicated clearly and wasn’t afraid to ask questions regarding our house and pets (which I found to be very respectful). We came home from a long trip to happy pets and a clean home which is more than one can hope for. I highly recommend Liz for anyone who wants to fully enjoy their vacations knowing that everything they love is taken care of.”


“Emily is terrific. She did such a great job watching our pup. Our dog experiences pretty bad separation anxiety and typically doesn’t eat all his meals when we are away - but with Emily he did! She was absolutely wonderful and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! She sent us pictures daily, kept the house tidy and was simply great to have. Thanks again Emily for the great experience!”

“Kyle was amazing as always! My cats always love having them around, even my shy one. All of the various medication administration is handled well. My place is always left clean and well kept. Kyle is also super nice and responsive and sends lots of photos!”

“Liesel is a true dog person, which is so important to me when leaving my rambunctious kiddos in someone's care. She snuggled them, appreciated and met their individual needs and personalities, and sent great pictures. I am confident that they were not only cared for physically, but were also loved on. They got walks every day, they house was super clean when we got home, and Liesel is super communicative. Her questions really indicate someone who understands and appreciate dogs. We will happily have Liesel sit for us again!”

“Hannah was a wonderful sitter! She was extremely attentive to our more nervous dog during a storm even going the extra mile to put music on to put her right to sleep. Hannah went above and beyond to care for our girls. We will use her again for sure.”

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”


“Kaleigh is amazing! This was the first time leaving my pup and Kaleigh made me feel at ease with consistent communication and updates. She took the time to learn my dog’s personality and routine so she could be as comfortable as possible. I’d definitely recommend Kaleigh!”

“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”

“Kaitlyn was an amazing sitter for our two dogs! She was very communicative and sent great pictures that showed how happy our pups were with her. She went above and beyond during her stay, 10/10! Thank you Kaitlyn!”

“Farrah was amazing. I am very nervous about leaving my three recuse dogs when I go out of town, as they are all very particular ! We had a lot of requests and Farrah went above and beyond. Our newest rescue who is scared of everything and everyone warmed up to her quickly which amazed me! I could tell my dogs loved her. She sent me tons of photos knowing how much I missed them. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again !”

John Marshall pet parents share their Rover experiences
Celeste was absolutely amazing. They were prompt with communication and pictures, asked all the questions needed to care for Sookie. Our place was clean when we got home. I love how cared for our girl was taken care of. We will definitely be using Celeste in the future!

Lupe is great! From the initial meet-and-greet visit through her nine nights with our elderly dog, she was professional, attentive, and great with communication. She provided regular updates and even coordinated directly with our neighbors who were helping at various times. We chose to book with her based on all of her great Rover reviews, and they are definitely accurate. We would love to have her again!
Monique stayed with our two dogs while we were overseas for 11 days. She was so flexible and met with my more nervous dog two times before we left. She communicated the whole time and our dogs were very happy to be in their own home with Monique rather than a boarding facility. I highly recommend her and we will be using her for many more trips this upcoming year.

I can’t say enough good things about Miranda. It’s clear she has a real knack for animals; my two dogs were so happy and well-exercised under her care. She was reliable, on time, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We’ve definitely found our go-to sitter and will be using her from now on!

Hannah took great care of both my home and my cats while I was away. Both my cats have quirky personalities but she worked with them to make sure they kept comfortable while I was away and made sure to send me pictures and videos of how they were doing. She also left my home clean and tidy for when I came back.

Zoe was super kind and considerate when I needed a last minute pet sitter for my rescue dog who has never been away from us before. She was very professional and understanding that he needed some extra time to adjust, she was very patient with him and followed his routine perfectly! I highly recommend Zoe :)

When we had a hiccup with normal pet care plans, Liz swooped in on short notice and took fantastic care of our energetic little munchkin Billie. She can be a lot to handle and Liz did a great job - we really appreciated the thorough and frequent updates and her eagerness to ask when questions came up! The house was tidy when we got back :) Billie was clearly in great hands and we’d love to have Liz back to care for Billie in the future!

Collette did a great job taking care of our two girls. We got multiple daily photos and small updates on how everyone was doing. They also made the girls comfortable and made them felt like we never left. Collette also made sure our house was clean and tidy before we returned. Highly recommend!
