1. Jenesis V.
“Jenesis I very easy going, comes as scheduled, and sends picture updates of your fur baby. We enjoyed having her watch after our puppy boy and 1000% recommend. Another quality we appreciated was communication, very prompt and polite. Highly recommend her.”
2. Chris C.
“Chris has been a tremendous blessing for us since our last pet sitter retired. She loves our girls; we receive pictures and regular updates. If there are any changes, she is quick to check in and ask questions. Chris communicates promptly, professionally, and even checks in on our arrival at home. On animals that require medications: One cat takes a morning med and both get evening medicine with food. She even managed to get meds in our other girl who (I forgot) hates taking pills. Chris has also taken care of our large dog when she needed walks / outdoor & play time, and meals. In a time when many expect more and offer less, Chris is a rose among thorns.”
3. Amy S.
“Amy has been the best pet sitter we have ever had! My husband is a very picky with who watches his dogs and she has made the shortlist over and over again. She is thorough, follows instructions for specific needs, and always treats our pets as if they are her own. She has also kept our cats multiple times while we were out of town and has done an excellent job making sure they were given the correct food and given lots of attention and love. She always goes the extra mile to make sure that our animals are happy, safe and well attended to. We will continue using her for our pet sitting needs.”

12. Taylor L.
About: I have grown up around large dogs and animals my entire life. I have been pet sitting for more than nine years now, and I’m comfortable taking care of all breeds and sizes. I believe that every animal should be loved and cared for! I'm also a very active person, so long walks and playtime are no problem. I’m currently working a part time job, but my schedule is flexible. Both morning and evening times are preferred, but I can accommodate as needed. Depending on what the owner and pet needs, I can adjust services accordingly. Every animal is different and my priority is to make sure they are comfortable and cared for. For example, trips out of the house, long walks, mental stimulation for high energy/anxious animals, or just extra love.
13. Arianna E.
“On time and took good care of my pup! Will definitely be asking her again to help when I need it.”
14. Rebecca P.
“Rebecca was amazing with Archie! He is a rescue with some fear around new people and he had no issues at all, I would highly recommend booking her!”
15. Kori Z.
“Kori is an extremely responsible, caring, detail-oriented dog and cat sitter. She's great at gently but quickly connecting with even the most standoffish of animals and recognizing the qualities that make them unique and fun. She also takes excellent photos!”
16. Melissa K.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was nine years old. I had two dogs and now we have a third because the first one passed away. I have also experienced being a dog daycare attendant for six months back in 2022. I know a variety of dog’s behavior and their need of love and affectionate when their owners are busy. I’m currently in graduate student at James Madison University and I would like to fit some pet care time after my classes in the mid afternoon to evening. For your pets, I can provide them with their daily food, routines, and pets and loving when they are needed. As well as giving them time to play with their toys.
17. Jocelyn J.
“Jocelyn was great with our dog Sage! We would definitely use her again and highly recommend 😊”
18. Laramie J.
“I’ve known Laramie for several years and have personally seen her deep and passionate care for animals. She’s taken incredible care of my animals and think she’d make an excellent addition to Rover”
19. Carrie D.
About: Hi there! I'm Carrie. I have been a pet owner and caretaker for over 15 years! I am experienced in walking, feeding, and otherwise caring for several types of pets. I currently own a cat and a dog, but I can also care for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! My main option here is dog walking, but I can also do drop-in visits as needed. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals and take them for walks. I am available most weekends for drop-in visits, and I will house sit as needed! I will ensure that dogs remain safely leashed during all walks. If the temperature of asphalt is too warm for walks I make sure to stick to grassy areas. I ensure that I know current vet care and contact numbers for emergency situations.
20. Larisa A.
“Larisa was a fantastic dog walker! My dog Bentley is a handful at times to walk but she had no problem with him. She was very punctual on picking him up for his walks and always shared a picture. We are so happy with Larisa we have her coming in July for our next vacation! She is the best!”
