“Heather always does a great job with our pup! Due to my ongoing changing schedule, I often reach out to her the night before I am in need of her service. She remains flexible with times and is great with communication!”
“Arabella was fantastic with my fur babies. Super reliable, communicated well, and really appreciated how affectionate she was to all of my fur babies. Definitely recommend.”
About: I have taken care of family pets for the last 10 years along with regularly dog sitting for a few families and decided to expand my dog sitting to more people. I absolutely love pet sitting for all types of animals! I am a college student with plenty of time in my class schedule to pet sit at peoples houses and regularly walk dogs or check in for letting the out I am happy taking dogs for walks or runs depending on what type of exercise they need. I am good with putting them in crates if they need that. If they need company for longer of periods of time i’m also happy to do that and not leave them alone for too long.
“Laura has been wonderful with walking my rather high maintenance pups. I don't know how I would have made it through the holidays without her help. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and flexible. She always takes the time to show my babies special love and affection and that has meant the world to me. Thank you Laura!”
“Naiya arrived on time and Aiko enjoyed walking with her. Aiko is slow to warm up to new people, which was a non issue for Naiya who was calm and attentive. We are looking forward to more walks with Naiya!”
About: I’ve been in a constant home of taking care of animals from a young age. I’ve trained over 6 dogs for basic training and have homed three cats. I’m versatile when it comes to new puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m a part time student so I’m mostly free in the evenings on weekdays and the weekends. For stop-bys and walks, I’m also free anytime before 9 am. In my own home I’ve got a lot of land for my own pets to roam within our land boundaries. Walking is a big part of giving pets time for exercise as well as calmer inside moments along with breakfast and dinner. Taking animals on rides to introduce them to different aspects of our world (exposure- therapy).
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 3 years now. I can do various things including walking and bathing almost any dog. Taking care of dogs is my job and I love it! My work schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to do walks/drop ins pretty frequently throughout any day of the week. My best times would be before 12 and after 7 but I can typically do times in between as well with enough notice I would care for your pet in any way necessary by following any instructions you can give me. With my experience, I know how to keep dogs safe and happy!
About: In my career I have worked with animals of all shapes and sizes! I specialize in animal behavior and husbandry. I’ve held my dog training certification for over 6 years and have loved working with people and their dogs every step of the way. I believe in helping dog owners better understand their pet through behavior education, training, and enrichment! I am available on a very flexible schedule for you and your dog! I can do drop in visits as well as in home or public access training! I treat every animal with respect for their individual needs! From a simple visit with basic obedience to advanced training and behavior-I’m here to help!
About: Hi there! I’m Taylor and I have looked after dogs, big and small, since I was 12. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, and have raised dogs of my own. I also worked as a Kennel Tech at Happy Tails (a small shelter in IL). I also have experience in enrichment activities as well as CPR. I am currently a stay at home mom of one, so I am able to spend time with your pets and even go for walks to our dog-friendly neighborhood park! I am also available for boarding. I have a small side yard, and a neighborhood perfect for walks. I live around the corner from a dog park, and I have a friendly dog of my own (Lola) that can keep your pup company. I can also crate your pet if needed.
About: Hi! My name is Alexis, I am 27 years old, and I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up I helped my dad with training his rabbit dogs and attending to their needs while he was at work or etc. I am born and raised in Amherst, VA. I own my own townhouse in Madison Heights. Although, the area is not fenced in there is a nice big yard for your fur-baby to get plenty of exercise and exposure to the sun and fresh air!! There is sidewalks in the neighborhood that makes it easy for taking walks. I am here to care for your fur-baby as you would. I will pet, feed, walk, play, brush attend to your fur-baby's needs. You and your fur-baby will be happy with my services. I do work 40 hours a week from home which allows me to have more time at home to attend to your fur-baby. Your dog/cat will be able to roam freely in the house unless otherwise requested. I do not work weekends, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I can easily crate your dog as needed. All dogs are walked on leashes when we go for walks. I respect your wishes in my home and your home.
“Kaylee was amazing! She responded quickly and stayed in touch with me each day of her visit. She has patience with shy pets, and my dog warmed right up to her after the first walk. Definitely would use her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 10 years, and I absolutely love it! I have helped out with neighbors and friends' pets and my own dog so I have lots of doggy care experience under my belt! Fresh into post-grad life, I'm back with my family in my hometown and looking forward to playing and caring for some pups in my free time! I will be keeping my schedule updated frequently for available times. I am an attentive, caring dog sitter and I will ensure that your pet is safe in its environment and will be getting lots of love.
About: I've cared for animals all my life including dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, and much more. Please consider choosing me to help you and your pets. I run a seasonal business and that allows me the extra time to do stuff that brings joy and everyone knows animals bring so much happiness! I have 2 female dogs that love to play ball in our fenced in yard. You can trust that I will treat your pets as my own.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 3 years old and absolutely adore dogs of every shape, size, energy level, age, and temperament! I have helped neighbors, friends, and Rover clients care for their dogs as well as caring for my own for over 20 years. Your pooch will have love, cuddles, attention, fun, play, exercise, adventures (if desired), attentive care, and will be safe with me. It is not required that I bring my fur baby along, but if I can, I’ll knock $10 off my daily rate since I won’t have to find her a dog sitter. :) If she comes along, as an added bonus, your doggo will have a loving, friendly, and playful spayed 2 year old lab to play with all day as well! She does not resource guard or get jealous, and has a lot of experience spending the day with, playing with, and sharing humans with other dogs as well as staying in other homes, and we would BOTH follow all of your house rules, of course. I’d also be sure to clean up any of her shedding before leaving. :) 2 summers ago, I adopted Makkachin, my first furry baby as an adult, and despite all the hard work, I absolutely adore her and am so happy she’s in my life. Thus, I am very recently used to puppy care, training, etc., and am happy to do the same for your pup if desired. I also have experience with adult, elder, and calmer dogs as well. :) I have experience administering medication, following special diets, etc. Please let me know of any special needs or accommodations your dog would need for safety, health, and comfort while I’m with them, and I’ll make sure it happens. :) For any bookings that are not OK with my dog coming along for the sitting gig, I would need to be booked for 3+ days (does not have to be overnight) for it to be feasible for me to book her own dog sitter while I’m with your doggo. Any bookings for which Makka can come along can be as short or long as you like! I am currently between full time jobs, which means I am pretty flexible. Any day I have booked as available, I would be able to stay with your furry friend all day, if desired. Feel free to ask specifically for schedule details when considering a booking, and I will do everything I can to accommodate your doggo! Your pup will be right with me and they [and my pup, if applicable] can all play, snuggle, & cuddle together! I will also take them for walks and hikes and outings (if they are able to do so), and can crate or confine them, if desired, if I have to ever leave for a quick errand for their safety, but I will ask for and follow your directions on that. The majority of the time, however, we will all be together. :) I will follow any and all directions you have to make sure you and your pooch are comfortable, and will also send you frequent updates & photos (if desired) throughout the day/walk so you can see that your fur baby is having a great time! :)
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing extra snuggles for anxious pups. I have had years of experience, with having three labs currently to raising two litters of lab puppies. I have grown up with dogs and love being around them I am in school during the week Monday-Friday. Pet care fits best for me during the evenings or the weekends depending on the week of school. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to favorite toys and cuddle spots. I make sure your pet feels secure in their own space, keep their environment tidy, and send regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

Lynchburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
It was our first time brining our dogs to a hotel so we were a little nervous about getting someone to walk them. Summer did an amazing job. She wanted to meet them beforehand and she walked them 2 times on Saturday afternoon so we could be at my daughter’s wedding . I loved the photos and the feedback from her after they walked.
