“Samantha was wonderful. I have five cats that needed to be looked after and one of them required special attention due to allergies. She made sure to check on each of them, ensuring their litter boxes were clean, medicines were given in the proper dosages, and everyone was happy and healthy. She also sent pictures of them for each visit. Would recommend!”
“Jeana was fantastic dropping in on my cat while I was out of town. She gave lots of photos and updates and I can tell she spent a lot of time and attention each visit. Would definitely recommend!”
“Trent did a great job taking care of my two cats with just a couple of days notice. He was very easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and is obviously a pet lover. Would definitely work with him again.”
“I trust Sarah with my baby! Diego is my "only child" and he loves his visits with Sarah! She does an amazing job of writing reports and telling me how he's doing. My cat is very needy and he loves her visits. Thank you Sarah!”
“Monica was a wonderful sitter and we would gladly work with her again. Monica was very professional, leaving a detailed write up each day and sending over dozens of photos. Monica was punctual, professional, and attentive to our cats.”
“Lily was so kind and great with my cats. I can tell they loved spending time with her and having her come over made them feel less lonely while I was away! I would absolutely ask her to watch them again. She’s great!”
“Michaela did a great job with my kitty, Tux! He can be very shy, but opened up to her on her first visit. She provided lots of information and photos so I felt very comfortable while I was away and knew how he was doing.”
“Annaugh was an awesome sitter! She checked on my cats even on Christmas and had to deal with some silly cats knocking things over and she even found my carpet cleaner to pick up some cat vomit. She was very communicative and sent me photos. Highly recommend!”
“Kelly did great stopping in and watching my cat for the week I was at the beach. This was the first time I had someone watch my cat since he went on his meds and since his brother passed away, but Kelly did a great job administering his medicine and I loved the updates showing all the hugs and playtimes my cat was receiving while I was away! Thanks Kelly!”
About: Hi! My name is Justine, I recently left my 10+ year career as a nurse to start my own business and I’m hoping to do Rover on the side as well (: I grew up around animals: ducks, chickens, parakeets, budgies, hamsters, fish and as soon as I could, I adopted rescue animals of my own (: I have 4 amazing kitties and I had one wonderful dog who sadly passed away 2 years ago from cancer. I dog sit my friends dogs all the time when they’re away. And I’ve also fostered many shelter dogs and cats, mostly those who recently had major surgery. I work from home, running my own business, so I’m available basically any day (: there are a few weekends I’m out of state visiting family but it’s not very often. I have a fenced in yard for dogs and the neighborhood is very safe for walks. And I’m happy to meet whatever needs your pets may have (:
About: Experience in caring for my pets includes a dog (Jack russell terrier) and a cat (Turkish angora). Provided care, walks, and playtime. Best care guaranteed, ensuring comfort and attention for your dog and for your cat :) I have a flexible schedule. Available weekdays and/or weekends. Let me know your needs and I will take good care for your dog and/or cat :) In my home or my client’s, pet care involves ensuring a comfortable environment, providing regular walks, and playtime, and adhering to specific service requirements. Tailoring care to individual pet needs, whether it’s feeding, grooming, administering medications, or walking, I will ensure best care for your pet :)
About: Do you feel like there's just never enough time in your schedule to take your dog for that long walk or hike? Do you have a few hectic days or weeks ahead during which you could use some pet care reinforcements? Is there a special occasion coming up during which you would prefer that your pup be out on an adventure for the afternoon? Do you have a fur baby that struggles with separation anxiety and could use a companion while you're on a day trip? It takes a village and I'd love to help! Like so many other animal lovers, petsitting was my first job. As a teenager I was eager to care for all the pets in the neighborhood as if they were my own. Turns out I loved it so much that it became my carrer. As I enter my 12th year working in veterinary medicine, I'm excited to return to where it all started...spending time with pets outside of a clinical setting and in the comfort of their own homes. As a Fear Free Certified professional, I'm comfortable with pets with a wide variety of behavioral needs. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. During the week, I'm available to drop in before and after work. I have flexibility throughout the weekend and Mondays since it's my day off. Happy to discuss and work out a best plan! Since my pets do not play well with others, I'm not able to host any dogs or cats in my home. I will follow your fur baby's routine and prioritize their safety both in your home and when out on walks/adventures.
About: I’ve had my own pets for the last 10 years and cared for dogs, cats, birds, and other animals since I was a teenager. I’m an animal lover and was recently laid off so I have extra time on my hands to care for your pets! I was laid off recently so I have a lot of extra time to care for your pets! I look forward to meeting them and helping however I can. I already have a frenchie at home who is a little territorial so I would prefer to care for your pets in your home, where they probably feel most comfortable!
About: I have experience with rowdy pups to tiny kittens so everything in between will be a breeze. I’m a big believer in pet enrichment but also firm boundaries so you can have a happy, well behaved pet. I’ve done a 4-hour feeding schedule for 4 week old kittens, dog and cat accident cleanup, and 2 hour long walks. I also worked at a shelter in Mexico cleaning kennels and feeding the dogs. I am currently a student from UVA home for the summer so my schedule is very flexible. I can take care of your pets on weekends and week days until I leave for school August 22nd. I am also going on vacation from August 9th-17th. I can walk your dog as much and as long as they need. For young kittens, I can do a no less than a 4-hour feeding schedule, feeding them milk or wet food. I can play with your pet as much as they want but I will respect their boundaries if they are shy or don’t want to play.

Our dog, Lotus, absolutely adores her—his tail starts wagging the second he sees her, and he can’t wait to spend time with her. Justine is responsible, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I honestly couldn’t recommend her more!”

She cares for them as if they were her own and demonstrates genuine love and attentiveness to them. Her ability to handle the daily medication needs of one of our cats is an added bonus for us. We are happy to recommend Lina for her exceptional care.”
chelsea s.
“Chelsea is a devoted French Bulldog owner, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention she brings to dog parenting. She consistently provides exceptional care not only to her own dog but also to my two Frenchies whenever I’m out of town. I have complete confidence in her ability to extend the same level of responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion to any dog in her care. Chelsea takes the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs, and she is always respectful toward both the pets and their owners. Anyone would be fortunate to have Chelsea care for their dog.”
