“Stephanie was amazing! Daily updates with pictures and videos. House and house plants were well taken care of. Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for dog sitting!”
“Kaitlin was amazing with our dog. She followed all our directions, was patient, and learned our dog’s language. Our dog was not stressed at all when we got home! This is the first time we used Rover and we will use it again to re-book with Kaitlin. She definitely has a repeat customer in us. Thank you so much, Kaitlin!”
“I have been nervous for a while to use rover for my two kitties and Allison coming and staying at my house showed me why I did not need to be worried! Allison loved and cared for my cats so much! She gave them their daily medicines with food, worked with my automatic litter boxes, and most importantly played and loved on them so much! She was very very communicative and responsive and also sent me so many cute pictures! I always miss my cats so much when I’m gone so this helped me a lot! I also frequently asked how things were going and Allison was very responsive which helped reassure me! She also left my home neat and tidy how it was left for her which was nice to come home to! Allison rocks and I am so appreciative to have someone so kind and thoughtful taking care of my pets! It’s going to make leaving them to go out of town a little easier :) thank you so much Allison!!!!”
“Amyre was so good with our pups! They had a great time with her and were well cared for. She did a great job communicating with us. Will definitely be asking her to watch them again!”
“Andrea was incredible and we would absolutely recommend her! She looked after our two pups Doug and Goomba and we were assured throughout our trip that they were in good hands. She gave us very frequent updates and pictures and was extremely responsive. She was incredibly kind both when we met and via text, and I know she was just as great with our dogs. Thank you so much Andrea!!”
“Rosemary was incredibly easy to work with to schedule our meet and greet and travel dates. Our dogs and cats immediately took to her. Rosemary sent many pictures while we were away. All of our pets were happy and well cared for while we were away.”
“I am so appreciative of having Lorene as my dog sitter for our recent vacation. She kept us updated with a daily report, added some cute pictures, and learned more of the dogs’ quirks making it a great fit. We knew we could travel without any worries because she took great care of my boys. They loved hanging out with her and Cash even took on the role of “work supervisor”. Would highly recommend Lorene for any of your dog needs.”
“Kat was a wonderful sitter for our 4 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever! She took such great care of our dog while we were out of town for 4 days. She took the time to understand our dog's routine and provided ample updates and photos while we were away. Kat also took really good care of our home and left it spotless. We look forward to working with here again soon!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I helped my mom with her dog boarding business in 2020 and since then have taken care of a multitude of both young and old dogs. I will NOT take last minute requests without a meet & greet. I'm used to picking up after those without potty training or those with stomach issues and sympathizing over those sweet pups. I currently have a very flexible schedule over the summer and am available for dog sitting, pet care, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I strive to be as flexible, reliable, and accommodating as possible to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every animal in my care is always my top priority. I have experience interpreting canine body language and understanding breed-specific needs, including the specialized care required for brachycephalic breeds and barrel-chested breeds. I am attentive to each pet’s individual temperament, routines, and stress signals to help create a safe and positive environment. I am comfortable administering medications, handling accidents or cleanups, and adapting to the unique needs of each pet. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have experience with other animals as well and am always willing to learn about the proper care and handling of different species. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their animals are in safe and capable hands.
“Great with our dog. She’s a puppy and this is the first time she hasn’t been with us since we got her. Jasper took excellent care and provided a ton of updates and pics of her. Will definitely use again.”
“Alex was great with our two puggles! He communicated well, sent lots of pictures, and was just so easy to work with. When we got home our house was clean, the dogs were happy and life was good. We've already booked him again!”
“Christina (Mary) was amazing! She sent plenty of cute pics and updates daily. She took the dogs on several walks and also played with them in the local tennis courts fetching the tennis ball. My house was better than when I left it, she even washed the dishes in the dishwasher! I would give her 10 stars if I could. It’s hard leaving pups with a new person the first time but I was never worried.”
“Seth did an amazing job caring for our high energy bulldog. Seth was super punctual, communicative, and sent us regular updates on our boy so we could enjoy a stress free vacation. Our house was spotless upon return as well. Will book with Seth again!”
About: I’ve grown up in a home with multiple pets and have extensive experience caring for animals. Over the years, neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. I’m also a four-time foster parent with the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA, where I’ve cared for animals in need and helped prepare them for adoption. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends to give your furry family my complete attention and care! I’m available anytime after 5:00 PM on Fridays through Sundays. I’m a true animal lover and will care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I prioritize being present and attentive to their needs, making sure they always feel safe and supported—wherever they are, I’m right there with them.
“I had a wonderful experience with Marcela caring for my dog. During our first meeting, my dog was anxious and barked out of caution, but Marcela did everything she could to help her feel calm and at ease. She followed my instructions precisely and carried out everything I asked exactly as requested. She was a calm, composed professional throughout, and her steady demeanor really put both me and my dog at ease. I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Gabriella took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away. She kept everything running smoothly—no issues at all. We came home to a clean house and two very happy pups. We especially appreciated that she took the time to brush our German Shepherd and made sure his leg brace was on during the day, which shows how much she cares. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Kelly was absolutely incredible! She watched our two cats and energetic puppy for a whole week and always kept us up to date on how they were doing through pictures and detailed texts. We can definitely tell she made them feel extremely comfortable while their parents were away and gave them lots of love. If you need someone who is responsive, caring, communicative, and can make your pets feel comfortable while you’re away, Kelly is fantastic. She will go above and beyond for you and your pets, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks for everything Kelly, we will absolutely be booking with you again. Migo, Liam, and Maggie already miss you!”
“Katherine did a great job communicating with me and taking care of my dog, Luray! It was the first time I have used Rover for an overnight stay and it was a great experience because of Katherine!”
Legato pet parents share their Rover experiences
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Truly Above and Beyond Care We cannot say enough amazing things about Jen! She went completely above and beyond while house sitting for our dogs, Ren and Quin. From the start, she was incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and attentive to detail. She didn’t just follow instructions — she truly cared about our dogs and their experience. She made sure to check them for ticks, kept us updated, and was very proactive in making sure they were safe and happy. What impressed us the most was her flexibility and dedication. When she realized that the dogs needed a few extra visits, she adjusted her schedule without hesitation. That level of attentiveness and willingness to adapt gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. But the biggest sign of how amazing she is? When we came home, Ren and Quin were happy, relaxed… and honestly didn’t even seem that excited to see us because they had such a great time with her! 😂 That says everything. Jen is someone who genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own, and it shows in every interaction. We feel incredibly lucky to have her as our neighbor and our dog sitter. We would 100% trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care.
Allison was great housesitting with my anxious dog Stax. She can be quite nervous around new people, but Allison has a calm, patient energy and Stax settled in relatively quickly after meeting. We returned home to a happy dog. I recommend Allison to anyone, including those with dogs who need a little extra care.
The absolute best! So sweet, kind, and genuinely caring, my kittens were so happy and comfortable with her. This was my very first time ever using a house sitter, and also our first time having kittens, so we truly didn’t know what to expect, especially since both kittens had just been spayed and neutered. Melianna went above and beyond. Even on Easter, she was there for us, consistently checking in and sending updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She handled everything with such professionalism, kindness, and a warm, sweethearted approach. I am incredibly grateful for her and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would trust her again in a heartbeat!
Will was a joy to have in our home taking care of our 110lb Great Pyrenees named Bear! At our initial interview, we knew he would be a good match. He asked good questions. He won us over with his confidence and skill dealing with a very large dog. Bear had a blast in our absence. Will walked him a least 3 times a day, played with him in our fenced yard, and kept Bear on a schedule. Will also took time to work on some of Bear's training exercises and adminstered his monthly meds. I really liked that Will worked from our home, so he spent most of the day with Bear, which is what Bear is accustomed to. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. We would happily hire Will again.
Evan is a wonderful pet sitter. My dog and cats were happy and calm when I arrived home after a week. The house was more organized than when I left. She even indulged my sphinx kitten with one of “her” sweaters that she drags out of my closet after Evan texted me about the matter that I’d failed to describe in the care instructions. I knew she was professional, kind, and vigilant upon our initial meet & greet and so did my pets!
Five stars for Brittany. She provided excellent care for my cat Max, including administering medication and staying on top of all feeding needs. Her communication was fantastic, the regular updates made me feel very comfortable and it was clear that Max was happy and relaxed in her company. A reliable, kind, and professional sitter. Would strongly recommend Brittany.
