“Christina is fantastic! Quick to respond and very friendly. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated during the visit. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Katy did a great job with Carmie! It was our first time using her and she was so easy to work with and flexible to come for a meet and greet. Great communication and sent regular updates with pictures.”
“Craig was our knight in shining armor! We began trying to hire a house sitter 3 months prior to our trip. We had 4 sitters cancel out on us in that time, the last one the day before we were scheduled to leave!!!. Thank God Craig stepped in and saved the day. He reassured us that our fur kids would be well cared for along with our home. He sent us updates with photos throughout our trip, and even bought us a sweet book to read to our new grandbaby that just arrived. He is definitely our new go to guy if we need a sitter in the future. He is honest, dependable, and has integrity. I highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for a pet care professional.”
“Lily and Philip are the best. We are currently going through a challenging period, and they are always ready to help when we need them. They not only cared for our dogs but kept our outdoor plants alive in this heat!”
“Jenny was wonderful!!! My two pups normally take a bit to warmup to new people but at the meet and greet they both clearly showed a liking to her. Jenny watched my pups in my home and messaged me several times a day and sent pics to let me know how things were going. This was very comforting for someone like me, with having anxiety with leaving them. My house was as clean as I left it, and I was very grateful that she brought in my packages as they were delivered. I would recommend Jenny, we will definitely be asking her to watch our pups again!!! Thank you so much Jenny, for easing my mind with my sweet babies and taking such great care of them😊!!!”
About: I believe pets are happiest when their routines remain as normal as possible. My goal is to make sure that this process is stress-free and I am able to provide dependable care and consistent communication. I look forward to meet you and your pet! I am currently working in an on-call position this summer and will be going back to school this fall! I will have plenty of time to walk and car for pets especially in June, July, and August! I have one dog named Sam, and he is kept in through an electric fence collar but I frequently take him on walks and he typically likes to nap inside the house otherwise!
“We have never felt safe with having someone stay in our home overnight with our dog but Ashton changed all if our trepidation. Mo, our Standard, loved Ashton from the first meeting throughout her 3-night stay in our home. She sent us daily photos and that made us feel that we made the right choice. Mo was so calm and happy, thanks to Ashton’s care.”
“Lauren was great - arranging the visit was super easy (although the app isn’t all that great) Lauren’s service was!! She spent the entire day with our three dachshunds while we were at Busch Gardens. She sent a few updates and pics through out the day and we didn’t have to worry about them at all. Peace of mind allowed us to relax and enjoy our time together. Thank you Lauren. We will definitely call on you again our next visit!!”
“Amanda is outstanding in every way! Her love of animals is so sincere, and she took wonderful care of our two dogs and our home. Excellent communication and attention to detail - we had absolutely no concerns while we were away. We will definitely ask Amanda to help us again - she truly is a gem!”
“We had such a fantastic experience with Linda as our dog sitter! She truly went above and beyond while caring for our dog, Kia. One of the most fun and memorable parts was that this is Kia’s third “French lesson” with Linda, she even gets to sit in on her classes! At this point, we’re convinced Kia is well on her way to being bilingual. It’s such a unique and thoughtful touch, and we love knowing Kia is getting extra attention and enrichment. Linda also sent tons of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could clearly see that Kia was happy, relaxed, and having a great time. To top it all off, we came home to a perfectly clean house, everything was spotless and just as we left it. Linda is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter (and maybe a French tutor for their dog too!). Jade and Kia”
“Victoria is great, she is always very responsive and cares deeply for the pets she looks after. You can tell that she loves what she does and that she cares for your pet as if it were her own. My dog absolutely loves her and gets excited every time he sees her. I would definitely recommend her, and will absolutely hire her again in the future.”
“Maggie is highly responsive and responsible. She loves my dogs and they love her. We had a miscommunication because I forgot to tell her she could leave at 10 p.m., and she stayed until 11 just to make sure the dogs were OK. Highly recommend.. Thanks so much for your help!”
“Peyton did a great job staying with Mabel and Roxy over the weekend. She sent regular pictures and updates. I was about to enjoy my trip because I knew my dogs were being cared for. 😊”
“Best sitter we’ve ever had. Alyssa was professional and yet very loving to the pets. She reported daily and communicated very well. My babies (dog and cat) were very calm and happy when I got home. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young girl. I also have worked as a Veterinary Technician on Langley Air Force Base. I enjoy pet sitting all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I am retired and involved in some weekly activities, so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of pet sitting, not to mention the joy of being around pets. I am attentive, detail oriented and versatile. I believe in leaving things the way I found them, or better. I always strife to do my best at whatever I do, and I am a very trustworthy person.
“I want to thank Marissa for being able to step up on what could only be described as a very short notice emergency for my wife and I. She did a fantastic job and I would recommend her to anyone in the Williamsburg area to take care their beloved pet family members.”
Lightfoot pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashton made fast friends with my very shy spaniel Lita and made her feel safe and secure in my absence. She also apparently kept Lita entertained, if the photos sent to me were any indication. Lita rarely lets down her guard to snuggle with new people. So the early meet and greet we scheduled the week before was pretty successful.
Hannah did a great job caring for our energetic Rottie! She sent frequent updates and pictures, and we felt confident that she was providing great care to our fur baby. She also asked if there were any chores that she could do while at the house. We look forward to Hannah coming to pet sit again!
If you are ever in need of a reliable and compassionate pet center, I would strongly recommend booking Alissa. She was very sweet to our dogs and incredibly patient. We have two 2 year old sister Aussie’s and they can be quite a handful. She also took care of our kitty cat as well. We were leaving the country and needed to know that they would be in safe hands while we were abroad. Not only did she take wonderful care of both of our dogs, Allisa gave them plenty of exercise in the backyard playing and several long walks. Whenever I checked in with her, she was swift to reply and even sent photos. As a definite bonus she kept our house sparkling clean and tidy. For my family and I it’s such a relief to be able to go away on a vacation and not have to worry about our furry family back at home. She is definitely a pet sitter that I will be booking in the future as well as telling my friends and family to as well!
Victoria is great, she is always very responsive and cares deeply for the pets she looks after. You can tell that she loves what she does and that she cares for your pet as if it were her own. My dog absolutely loves her and gets excited every time he sees her. I would definitely recommend her, and will absolutely hire her again in the future.
