Danielle was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay and sent regular pictures and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and well cared for when I got home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Dayton was great! We had a last minute trip and thankfully she was available and responded to our request quickly. Our dogs loved her and even our shy cat. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone and replied to our messages right away. We felt very comfortable leaving all our pets with her. She asked questions about their care and was very genuine and friendly. We would and hopefully will work with her again!

About: I adopted my first dog, Ollie, when I was 18 years old. Shortly after I discovered he was suffering from kidney failure and epilepsy. This resulted in frequent vet visits and daily medications, and I'm comfortable administering medication to your pets. Now, I have three cats that I've had for almost five years, living their best lives. I love my pets and I'm looking forward to giving your best friends the same level of love and care. I work full-time. I'm available after 2pm on most days - I try to keep my availability on my profile accurate but due to the nature of my job I may have more or less availability than what is listed. Please don't hesitate to reach out and ask! Daily care routine starts in the morning with food, medication, and cleaning litter boxes. We play at their request and make sure they have access to all their toys.

If you love your pets then you will request Cate - she’s like the fun and generous aunt coming over and whenever we get home from being away the pets are disappointed to see us.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a lil thang, I’ve always had such a soft spot for them & my passion is to become a dog trainer ! I’m always going to make time if I know a dog needs it, & I am super weird about people around my dog so I want to make sure that you’re dog is more than comfortable. Well I’m always going to have the dog in my sight, but if the area is not fenced in & the dog doesn’t have the best recall, leash it is!

About: I was raised with dogs (shelties, primarily) and now have a hobby farm with goats, dogs (german shepherds, a lab and a sheltie), ducks and a cat. I'm reliable and friendly and happy to follow whatever instruction and routine you need. Your pets will be well cared for and you'll receive plenty of photo updates while you're gone! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate nearly any routine your pet is used to, including frequent walks and potty breaks. I will work with you to keep your pet's schedule as close to what they are used to as possible. If boarding in my home, we have a fenced yard, plenty of area to go on leashed walks, and they will get plenty of one on one attention and care. I'm happy to do transport or add in a bath during your pet's stay so your life can be as simple as possible while you're trying to get out the door for your trip. Pet care is my full time job and priority. I can adapt as needed to make sure your pet keeps the routine they are comfortable with, even when you aren’t home. I will ask questions and take notes on your pets’ routine and then do my best to ensure that those habits are in place with me.

About: Premium, Personalized Dog Care — Where Your Dog Feels Right at Home With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for breeds like German Shepherds, Dobermans, Coon Hounds, and Pomeranians, I’ve built my life around understanding and supporting the needs of dogs. Today, I live on a spacious, fully fenced one-acre property with two friendly pups of my own — the perfect place for your dog to run, play, and feel safe. I work from home, so your pup gets round-the-clock care and supervision. Whether they need extra attention, medication, a quiet nap zone, or just lots of play and snuggles, I’m here 24/7 to ensure they feel like they never left home. Unlike high-volume sitters, I don’t pack in multiple dogs just to fill a schedule. I limit the number of pets I care for so I can provide focused, high-quality attention to each dog. No crates unless you request it. No chaos. Just personalized, loving care in a calm and safe home. There are no children in my household — just a peaceful environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether your dog needs open space to play, structure, or quiet time, I adjust to their routine and personality. My rates reflect the premium, one-on-one care I provide — not just a service, but a home-away-from-home experience for your dog. If you're looking for attentive, professional, and trustworthy care from someone who treats your dog like their own, you’ve found it. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full-time, which allows me to be fully present and attentive throughout the day. My dogs are part of my life, not just my schedule — and the same goes for any pet I care for. I build my day around walks, enrichment activities, playtime, and quiet moments, making sure each dog gets the stimulation and comfort they need. Rover isn't just a side gig for me — it’s something I genuinely care about. I love being able to share my time and home with other pets, giving them the same level of love and attention I give to my own. In my home, your pet will be treated like one of the family. I have a fully fenced one-acre yard for safe, supervised outdoor play, and two small, friendly dogs to provide companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. I ensure 24/7 access to fresh drinking water, regular bathroom breaks, and a calm, cozy indoor environment where your dog can relax freely — crated only if you prefer. I follow your care instructions closely, including administering any medications as prescribed. Whether it’s maintaining their feeding schedule, providing playtime, or offering extra snuggles, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved — just like they would at home.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule, as I have two dogs of my own who are in a routine. This will allow me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship without rushing or distractions throughout the day. I have two friendly pups of my own who will keep your pups comfortable. I will provide a calm, safe, and structured environment. I will follow their routines while providing supervision, affection, and a relaxed environment.

About: 🐾 Experienced Pet Caretaker with a Heart for Healing 🐶🐱 With a passion for nurturing furry friends back to health, I've proudly fostered numerous dogs with diverse medical needs. From playful pups to senior companions, I've provided specialized care and unwavering love. My expertise extends to feline friends too, ensuring every whiskered family member receives the attention they deserve. Trust me to be your pet's dedicated companion on the journey to happiness and well-being. 🐾 Balancing Clients and Snuggles: Pet Boarding Tailored to Post-Grad Life 🎓 I graduated from graduate school in August of 2024 and moved to Richmond shortly after. I grew up with a house full of pets, so when I left for college in 2017, I began fostering dogs through local animal shelters. I have fostered dogs of all shapes and sizes with various behavioral and medical problems. I began on Rover in 2022 and have been doing it ever since! I work from home most of the time, making it easy to provide constant and consistent care for your pup! My partner, Gabe and I live together which guarantees your pet at least double the amount of pets and love they get! When I do go into the office, we tend to work opposite schedules, making it easier to make sure your baby doesn’t spend any time by themselves and helps us be more flexible with pick up and drop off! 🏡 Your Pet's Home Away from Home: Personalized Care in a Loving Environment 🐾 When your cherished furry family member steps into my home or yours, they become part of a tailored pet care experience designed with their comfort and happiness in mind. From cozy sleeping arrangements to engaging playtime, I create an environment where your pet feels safe, loved, and cherished. In my home, your pet will enjoy a dedicated space equipped with all the essentials they need, from comfortable bedding to stimulating toys. Regular exercise routines and outdoor adventures ensure their physical well-being, while personalized attention and affectionate companionship address their emotional needs. When caring for your pet in your own home, I seamlessly integrate into their routine, following your instructions to a tee. From feeding schedules to medication administration, I make it my priority to maintain a sense of familiarity and normalcy for your pet. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or going for a stroll in their favorite park, your pet's routine and preferences take center stage. Rest assured, I treat your pets as if they were my own, providing consistent, reliable care that creates a stress-free experience for both you and your beloved furry friend.

Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having

About: I offer calm, reliable pet care with genuine attention to each animal’s individual routine, comfort, and personality. I notice the small details that help pets feel secure — their pace on a walk, natural check-ins, play style, and the rhythm they follow at home. My goal is to create a steady, reassuring experience so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident. Whether energetic or gentle-natured, I meet each pet with patience, warmth, and consistency. After relocating to Ashland, I now have open and flexible availability for pet care services. Having recently supported a loved one, I bring patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every pet I care for. I connect deeply with each pet and provide gentle, attentive care for senior, special-needs, and active dogs. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment while always following your pet’s routine and comfort level.

About: I've had the joy of caring for a wide variety of dog breeds, including Labs, Goldendoodles, Huskies, German Shepherds, Coon Hounds, Shih Tzus, Malteses, Pomeranians, and Yorkies ever since I was a teen. Now, I share my cozy home with my two small, friendly pups, and we have a whole acre of fenced yard to explore together. Plus, since I work from home, I can be there for your furry friend whenever they need me. When you choose me, you're not just finding a pet sitter; you're inviting your pet into a warm and loving environment where they'll receive personalized care tailored to their needs. With years of experience, professional training, and a genuine love for animals, I'm dedicated to giving your beloved pets the best possible care. During their stay, your pets will have plenty of opportunities for fun and enrichment, whether it's playtime in the yard or cuddles on the couch. I understand that every pet is unique, so I'll make sure they feel right at home, whether they're a playful puppy or a wise senior dog. And rest assured, I'll treat your pets like family, providing them with fresh water, regular bathroom breaks, and any necessary medication with love and attention. I'm not just in this for a job; I'm truly passionate about caring for animals, and I can't wait to welcome your pet into my home with open arms. Since I work from home I have an open schedule. I usually let my dogs out every hour and provide them with various enrichment opportunities and exercise. I have plenty of space to walk your pups if they need to be walked on a leash. I have a one acre fenced in yard and two friendly puppies to keep your fur babies company. My puppies have free range inside and so will yours or I can crate them if you prefer. My puppies also sleep with me at night. I can administer medication and will follow your pups schedule to ensure their safety and comfort.

About: Growing up, we always had at least three animals in the house including dogs, cats, rabbits, critters and reptiles. One year of experience with Dogtopia (Open play dog daycare) has allowed me to invest in my passion and I would like to continue helping our community with their fur babies. It takes a village and I feel my skills and training would benefit many familes! I'm currently working for Dogtopia of Fredericksburg full time, but looking for other avenues of income. My schedule is flexible and have an open mind to any client. I currently care only for my indoor cat and she's content around other animals. My home has a very large yard for outside time, but no fence.
