“Alison was a great sitter! She wrote great reviews of her time with our kitty and was very responsive if we needed to contact her while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I am a professional animal behaviorist an animal trainer. I've trained dogs, cats, wolves, dolphins, birds and more. I trained my first dog when I was 10 years old in 1984. I began training animals and providing pet care professionally in 1998. I have been an animal behaviorist for 5 years and hold a master's degree in clinical animal behavior. Anyone who tells you they can train your dog or fix any issues on just their walks with your pet is pulling your leg. What I can do, is care for your pet in your absence and work with you on any training and behavioral issues your pet may have. I have fairly open availability for drop ins and dog walks. I don't provide overnight care or boarding. Special arrangements can be made if you require training or behavioral assistance. I rely on the pet guardian's guidance in what routine their animals are comfortable with. I relay solely on positive reinforcement based training. I don't work with shock, pinch, prong, spray, or vibrate collars. As a professional in this field for over a decade, I highly recommend against retractable leashes for the mechanical failure and safety issues they cause. Feel free to look up images of the injuries they cause. Be warned, some are fairly graphic.

About: Caring for animals has never been just a job for me, it's something I genuinely love. Over the years I've cared for pets and animals in many settings, from shelters, to nature centers, and private homes. Each experience has taught me how deeply animals and pets rely on trust, patience, and kindness. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sitting quietly beside a shy pet. I make it my goal to give them the same love and comfort they'd get from their own family. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine, and I prioritize it alongside my professional goals. While I am currently seeking full-time employment, I remain committed to providing consistent and reliable care for the pets I look after. I structure my schedule to ensure that feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins are never compromised. When caring for pet stays in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe in a clean, pet-friendly environment. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while keeping routines consistent with what they're use to. When caring for pets in clients homes, I respect both the pet's routine and the clients space. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to medications, while keeping the home tidy, and secure. I focus on making pets feel at ease while their owners are away by maintain their normal environment and daily habits.
About: I grew up with several pets and have had several of my own. I currently have a Bor-doodle dog who is service trained. My family used to train and groom dogs so I’m educated on that as well! I have a very open schedule as I am an online college student - so I can be as available as your pet needs me to be! I care for pets by feeding them, walking them, taking them on hikes, and making sure they get the attention they need while their owner is gone!
About: I have grown up around animals but also have watched others animals since I was at least 12. I work at an equestrian barn and primarily petsit dogs and cats. I greatly enjoy my time with the animals. Ask for more details! Petsitting fits into my weekly routine so well! Whether it’s popping in for a walk or feed time, boarding, etc., I am dedicated. I have a lot of free time in the summer and during the school year (I’m a teacher), I also find time before and after school to recharge and take care of animals. In my home, I make sure the client and pet are comfortable with the arrangement and altar anything needed within reason. In a client’s home, I will provide care as requested specifically. This will vary, depending on the service.
“I highly recommend Darian to take care of your pets! I needed someone reliable, and on very short notice, to take care of my precious skittish cat for three weeks. Darian did a wonderful job tending to all my cat's needs, and she accomplished the amazing by quickly getting my suspicious, standoffish cat to allow her to pet her! Darian also went the extra mile of cleaning up the floor several times when my cat coughed up hairballs and had other tummy issues. Darian had not taken care of my pet before, but she stepped in like a pro and took care of her, and kept tabs on my house as well. As I said at first, I highly recommend Darian for your pet!”
About: I have ample room and time to love on your fur babies!! I currently do not have any dogs but love them all! I also have a basement with a separate gate if your pet needs space by itself. I live close to the mountains so if you want to take the day to hike/explore sperryville I am your go to:) I work from home and love my animals!! I am fortunate to have the flexibility to take care of my farm animals and others when needed. I own a small farm with plenty of space for walking and also have a fenced in garden than I can use during the colder months for secure play for dogs.
“Alex has pet sit for me on many occasions before she was advertising on Rover and she is amazing! My cats take to her really well especially my skittish calico 🧡 I would highly recommend her for any pet needs as she has the kindest heart and cares for all animals big or small. 10/10 highest recommendations!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease
About: I love animals. I will take the best care of your pet. I'm fine with handling aggressive ones and bigger dogs too. I've taken care of animals all my life, so you can travel without a worry. Right now I'm open any day and time. I can overnight stay and house sit as well. I'm a fan of cats and other animals too. I'll follow your instructions to the letter. I will always call for questions and not assume something on your property. I'm fine with taking videos and pictures
“Megan is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel extra loved when we are out of town. We hope to continue to use Megan in the future.”
About: As a true animal lover who misses her pets while away at school, I’m excited to offer hands-on care for a wide range of animal companions. I’ve raised cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens, and I also work closely with the animal lab at the Science Museum of Virginia in my hometown of Richmond. There, I care for reptiles, amphibians, fish, and even arachnids, giving me both the compassion and confidence to care for exotic pets of all kinds. I’m a full time student at JMU, with classes M-Th, I am offering all day/as needed care on weekends starting Friday after 1pm. I am open to drop-ins and walks after 6pm weekdays, except Tuesday. Being that I’m a student, I do not offer pet care from my home, however I always have a mindful approach to offering in-home pet care for clients. Don’t hesitate to communicate concerns or boundaries regarding
“Charne was awesome. First time using Rover so I was nervous about having someone I didn’t know taking care of my two dogs and being in my home but immediately after meeting Charne ,all of those feelings went away! She constantly kept me updated and sent me pictures so that I could see that my babies were ok. She was on time everyday and spent extra time with my Hank and Daisy. She was truly dedicated in providing and caring for both of my pets! I highly recommend Charne and will definitely be using her again whenever I’m away from home!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my depth of experience and adaptability! I’ve been house-sitting and providing full-time pet care for several years, both short- and long-term, in a wide variety of homes, from apartments to multi-animal properties. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs, including puppies, seniors, and animals requiring medications (like ear and eye drops, pills, and ointments) or special routines. I have hands-on experience with cats and dogs of all ages, so I’m confident following detailed care instructions for many species. Because I often stay in the home while caring for pets, I prioritize consistency, cleanliness, and communication. I maintain pets’ normal routines, keep homes well cared for, and provide regular updates so owners can travel with peace of mind. I’m calm, observant, and proactive; if something seems off, I notice quickly and act responsibly. Above all, I treat every pet as an individual and every home with respect. My goal is always for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their humans are away! I work remotely Monday through Friday, typically from 9 AM–5 PM, which allows me to be home with pets throughout the day rather than away at an office. My work is flexible, so I can easily schedule walks, feedings, medication, playtime, and check-ins around pets’ routines. I’m able to take brief breaks during the day for potty breaks, enrichment, and companionship, and I’m fully available in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. For house-sitting stays, I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure. Because I’m often in the home, pets get consistent supervision, attention, and care, not just quick drop-ins. I’m happy to adjust my routine for puppies, seniors, or pets with special needs. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and routines stay consistent. I do not offer care in my own home. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all written and verbal care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and household rules. I keep doors, gates, and enclosures secure, monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health, and address issues promptly and responsibly. I maintain a clean, calm environment, respect each home as if it were my own, and ensure pets are supervised appropriately based on their age, temperament, and needs. I’m experienced with multi-pet households and mixed species and take extra care to manage interactions safely. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets and home are in good hands while they’re away.
