“Isa is an amazing sitter! She took care of my 3 kitties and house while I was away and kept me updated the whole time. My skittish cats warmed up to her right away! Would definitely book her again.”


“Grace was so wonderful about booking way ahead and professionally checking in as we got closer to the date. She also was awesome about handling an unusual booking where we were in and out of the house the whole time. She played and rested with Makkachin, who was happy and calm when she left.”


“I will definitely book Celeste again to take care of Sadie. I really like that Celeste is familiar with the temperament of Yorkies.Sadie was well taken care of and enjoyed her play time and snuggling up with Celeste. She seemed calm and peaceful when I came home and the place was clean and tidy. No accidents on the floor like a previous sitter had left.”


“Alainna was very friendly, enthusiastic, communicative and thorough as she prepared to meet Makkachin for the first time. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day. She was friendly to Makka and such a dog person, and offered play and walks, though Makka was more interested in a chill, sleepy day as she often is during first meetings. Alainna respected that too. Would definitely use her again!”


“Charles was great! Took great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures daily. Will be booking with him again in the future!”


“They were amazing to work with!”


“He was fantastic! Super good with our pets, and gave lots of updates and pictures. We felt safe and comfortable with him caring for our animals and being in our home.”


“Excellent experience! Pups happy and exercised. Everything taken care of as requested. And house clean and organized. Will be requesting Kelsie for all our babysitting needs!”


About: As a pet parent myself, I understand the worry and anxiety that can come with leaving your beloved companion in someone else’s care. That’s why I promise to treat your pet with the same love, compassion, and attention I give my own—because they’re not just animals, they’re family. I’ve been caring for pets of all shapes and sizes for over 15 years. My journey began as a kennel staff member at an animal hospital, where I learned the foundations of professional pet care and developed a deep appreciation for the trust pet owners place in their caregivers. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small animals—each with their own personalities, needs, and quirks. I have experience administering medication (both oral and topical), working with senior pets who need a gentler pace, and supporting animals with anxiety or special needs. Whether your furry friend needs high-energy playtime, a relaxing walk, or simply someone to sit quietly with them, I tailor my care to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I’m known for being dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative—I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. Whether you're away for a weekend or a few weeks, I'm here to provide peace of mind and a positive experience for both you and your pet. Because when you're not home, I want your pet to feel like they still are. I am currently a stay at home mom and have the daily flexibility to ensure your pets needs are met accordingly and to your standard! Your pet's safety and your home's security are my top priorities. I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your personal space, and I don’t take that lightly. I treat every home with the utmost respect—keeping things clean, secure, and just as you left them. I'm mindful, responsible, and always aim to leave both your pet and your home better than I found them. You can count on me to follow your instructions closely, respect your privacy, and keep you updated regularly. Whether it’s locking up properly, caring for houseplants, or maintaining your pet’s routine to a T, I take every detail seriously. Your peace of mind means everything, and I’m committed to creating a safe, calm environment your pet can feel comfortable in while you're away.

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! :)

“Ashley was great with my dogs; and one is pretty reactive. She was super communicative and left my house in great condition. Would definitely book again!”


“Ainsley was amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were out of town, sent us pictures, and even washed our sheets and vacuumed before we returned. It is so great not having to worry about Ollie while we are out of town. Would definitely recommend Ainsley for any pet sitting you need, she is great!”


About: I have always loved dogs! My first dog sitting job was seven years ago, and since then I have dog sat for eight families--all with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I carry a calm, comforting, feminine energy that I find settles and reassures dogs that may have anxious or hyperactive personalities. I have experience from a 5lb Shih Tzu to a 120lb Saint Bernard; puppies and senior dogs, all of which I enjoyed with no hiccups! I am a current online student with open availability throughout the weekdays. I will be unavailable on Saturdays with some exceptions. Please contact me to ensure that I will be available for a Saturday you may need! I am unavailable to host dogs in my home due to my lease policy. Safety is my main priority: for your dog, your home, and myself. In our consultation I will go over your dog's safety in their home set-up, any behavioral triggers I need to be aware of, and the safety and security of your home. I will also be 'on-call' for any phone calls (or sending photos!) during the duration of my time with your pet.

“Jadyn was AWESOME!! She came in very last minute and was super flexible with timing. She opted to stay overnight with my pets, seeing as our dog is hyper and cat had recently suffered a stroke. She took care of them so well, I felt very comfortable! She went above and beyond, making sure they were not only cared for, but having a good time! Highly recommend having her petsit for you, the daily pictures and videos were an added bonus (communication was stellar), will book with her again!”


“Mandy was a great dog sitter!! She took great care of our recently adopted pup, Cooper, while we were away - she even taught him out to sit!!”


“Titus was very respectful and good with Wilma! She seemed very content when we got home and looked happy in all of the picture updates I received! Titus left our home in very good condition and was responsive and provided the requested picture updates the duration of his stay. I would recommend Titus to anyone looking for fantastic care for their pet!”


About: I have experience of dog sitting and walking dogs outside. I would love playing with your dog or cat. I would love to pet sit. My Summer is a open book as I am planning on pet sitting and walking dogs during the summer. I am planning on doing pet care until the next school year as I am a Instructional Assistant during the school year. I would try to bond with your pets in the best way. I make sure that they are very protective. I care for your pets.

“Adelena was wonderful with our furry friends! We were happy with the updates we received while out of town. She even took the dogs for a hike! We would definitely invite Adelena back to our home for pet care.”


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.

About: I've cared for and loved animals my whole life. I grew up on a small horse farm in the country. I love any and all types of animals! Dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, pocket pets, you name it! I'm not picky. I started working at my old neighbors boarding and grooming place at the age of 12. Thats when I started learning about dog behavior. Since then I have worked & volunteered at multiple animal related places, Doggy daycare, local animal shelters, multiple pet sitting jobs & have worked at my current job at the emergency vet since 2016. Im very flexible in my day to day care. Even on days I work long hours I can still check on your pet a minimum of 3 times a day. Some days I don’t work until night and I have off every other weekend. Message me and we can work something out! I currently work at the local emergency animal hospital. I am in school to become a licensed veterinary technician. Your fur baby would be in great, knowable hands. I’m familiar with crate trained animals, & Ones that have special needs also. I read animal body language very well & can often figure out what is best for their comfort and safety.

Suzanne H.
“Suzzane cared for our pup for many years as we were neighbors at the time. Suzzane is very caring, attentive, and detail oriented. On several occasions over the years, Suzzane would take care of Buddy (our dog at the time) while we were out of town, sometimes for a week. Suzzane would stay at the house overnight with Buddy and take care of his meals, water, outside time, and of course cuddles. 🥰 Suzzane is very trustworthy and I would 10/10 recommend her services.”

Sarah M.
“Sarah stayed at our house and kept our 2 dogs for a week at the beginning of June and I can't recommend her enough. Whiskey is our 2 year old yorkie and Charlie is our 16 year old cairn terrier who is deaf and almost blind and Sarah provided the perfect amount of structure for Whiskey and caring for Charlie. She was aware of their needs and schedules and was attune to if there was anything else needed. Sarah picked up immediately that Whiskey wants to be wherever you are, sitting in your lap and doing whatever you are doing. She also picked up quickly that Charlie needs a different level of care and patience (due to her age and being deaf and almost blind) as well as a fine balance between doing for her and letting her do it herself. Sarah sent pictures of the dogs throughout the week and you could tell that they were both happy and loved which is such a peace of mind when you can't be with them yourself. Sarah also left our house spotless when she left, washed the dishes she used, took out the trash and offered to wash our sheets. I seriously can't recommend Sarah enough!”

Amber H.
“Amber is an animal-loving superstar! Her long-time passion for animals began way before she was working at the Animal Hospital and her knowledge, and passion have only grown as her experience has. She’s attentive, detailed, and organized, and she goes above and beyond to make sure she the fur babes in her care (at home and at work) are comfortable and having fun. If she still lived close to me she’d be my go-to every time!”
