It was our first time using a dog sitting service and Leah exceeded all our expectations! She is very friendly and our pets loved being with her while we were away. She was quick to communicate any questions we had and sent us pictures and videos of our babies in her care each day. Would highly recommend her for anyone's pets!

About: I signed up to help others care for their pets because I use Rover as well. Having a trusted individual available to care for our furry friends is important. I provide excellent pet care service for others. I will inquire about your pet’s personality, special needs, likes and dislikes. I will professionally communicate with you, treat your pet with great care, and your property with respect if welcomed into your home. Thanks for considering my services, I look forward to hearing from you. Here to help. I am employed full time. Any assistance I would be able to provide would be early morning, late evening during the weekdays, and much greater flexibility on the weekend. I will care for your pets and be respectful to your home. For me that begins with good communication between you and me. Setting clear expectations between us and getting to know your pets as best as possible before the first visit.

Anna was absolutely wonderful! She was very friendly and highly skilled with caring for dogs, Anna stayed at my house while I was away, and she bonded with my dog instantly. I was completely impressed with her ability to interact and connect with my dog. Anna was really good with following through with my requests regarding my dogs diet, and she followed up with me right away with any concerns. Anna is very reliable, trustworthy and honest, I highly recommend Anna to care for anyone’s pets. And FYI, she also willingly and lovingly cared for and fed my bird. Leaving my dog is hard for me, my heart aches to leave him behind, I never imagined I would find someone who could love my dog much ad I do, but Anna 100% exceeded my expectations.

About: I have always been expected to care of my own pets from a very young age and now mine live with me at college:) I love it so much I even created my own dog poop cleaning up business in sixth grade! Anything I could ever do to help someone with their pet is so rewarding, and I understand needing to travel and see the world or visit family as I have moved around a ton when I was younger. I’m super excited to join the app! Having my animals in college has helped me ensure I build a healthy schedule not only for myself, but also them! The way I love a routine, so do they. I try to get up around the same time each day and feed dinner around the same time also. My dogs don’t eat lunch, but I have cared for animals that have and it’s all about craving that extra important time for them to ensure they feel comfortable, especially with family gone. I love the outdoors and walks during the summer so doing that is the least I could do for my babies. I’m a very flexible and communicative person which hopefully sets up the best care:) I want to be as respectful as possible, and since working at a clients home I would want to make sure I know what works best for your animal. If is a lot of outside time, space, treats, being in the crate while gone or not. anything! I can totally work around that because I want you to have peace of mind for your home and pet:)

About: I am a licensed attorney by day and lifelong animal lover at heart. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule while spending time in Virginia helping and supporting my mother as she approaches retirement. My flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day, evenings, and overnight stays. I began my own small dog-walking business in San Francisco while I was in college and later worked through Rover walking large-breed dogs and cat-sitting while studying for the California Bar Exam and working as a paralegal. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs, but I especially love giant breeds like Great Danes. I also adore cats and currently have my own beloved cat, DJ Mustard, who has made me even more attentive to feline personalities, routines, and comfort. Animals have always brought joy and grounding to my life. I believe pets deserve patient, loving, observant care and that owners should feel completely comfortable while away from home. I am calm, responsible, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routines. For overnight stays, I also offer optional extras at a bargain cost including homemade pet treats from recipes I have developed myself as well as seasonal or holiday-themed pet portraits and photos. I offer discounts for teachers and service members in honor of my mother, who is a teacher, and my grandfather, who served in the United States Navy. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, medication, overnight comfort, or simply someone dependable and kind, I would love the opportunity to care for them. As a remote professional with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine through walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, overnight care, and check-ins. Licensed attorney with extensive background checks who provides attentive in-home pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, companionship, overnight support, and thoughtful communication updates.

About: My love for animals has been life long. In my younger years I would go spend summers in Virginia and volunteered at the Virginia Living Museum; where I was able to interact with many different kinds of animals. When I was in the 4th grade, my friend Alexa and I started a dog washing, walking and playing business called “A Pet-ter Place”. I have taken small animal management classes as well as an equine science class. I have had dogs my whole life. My dog Junebug has diabetes, so I know and I feel comfortable giving insulin shots. To wrap everything up I am no stranger to the world or animal and pet care and I would love to help take care of your fur babies! :) I’m a Realtor, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I can stop by almost anytime you need—whether it’s to check on your pets, take them for a walk, feed them, or just give them some playtime. My goal is to replicate your pets’ usual routine as closely as possible so they stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I take safety seriously—always locking up after visits and ensuring your home is left exactly as it was before.

About: I've been involved with dogs for well over 25 years. We first owned a Greyhound for 12-ish years. After that, I volunteered at our local SPCA, providing dogs that were waiting for adoption walks and socialization. Later, I became a foster parent for a Working-Dog training school. As a semi-retired person, I have plenty of time to watch, walk, and play with your loved-one. Let me know if there are specific skills that you wish me to reinforce, or activities that you wish me to do. I will abide by all rules of a clients home and walk/play on a schedule that you set. I can also pick up the mail and bring it in/place it where is goes.

Jennerifer was 20/10. We were struggling to find someone who would stay at our house and hang out with our kids. From the moment we met Jennifer she was so kind, professional, organized, and clearly loved animals. Her communication was phenomenal from the meet and greet to the moment we came home. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. We will 1,000% be asking her to come back in the future!

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet owner with 30+ years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I currently share my home with eight rescue dogs, giving me daily experience with a wide variety of ages, behaviors, and care needs. I have experience with rescue pets, senior pets, shy pets, multi-pet households, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. As a longtime rescue supporter and volunteer, I care for every pet like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I provide photo and video updates so you can feel connected and re-assured while you’re away. I have some flexibility with my schedule. I love pets and enjoy caring for them. I have special experience with shy, nervous, and rescue pets, and I take the time to earn their trust. I provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment, where they can remain comfortable and maintain their normal routines. Many pets experience less stress when they can stay in the place they know best.

Jenna was exactly what our dog needed. She was dependable, caring, and attentive throughout her stay. Because our dog is older, Jenna took extra care to make sure she was comfortable and safe in the heat, including ensuring she could easily get back inside from the backyard. She also went above and beyond in several small ways, which we truly appreciated. Jenna left the house neat and tidy, and we could hardly tell she had been there. Most importantly, our dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned home. We would gladly book Jenna again and highly recommend her to others.

Kacie is great! She’s very organized, communicates throughout her stay, sends pictures and most importantly takes great care of my pups! She’s also very helpful while she was at my house by bringing in my packages that were delivered and was willing to bring in my trashcan since my trip coincided with trash day. Kacie is observant and takes great care of my pups and lets me know if she notices anything that I may need to keep an eye on, like when she noticed one of my dogs was having some eye irritation. I would definitely recommend Kacie if you need a great sitter!

Sara stayed overnight for the weekend with my four dogs. Two of them are seniors, and they were well cared for and comfortable the whole time. They have a routine they like to stick to, with several medications and special diets. We received pictures and updates multiple times a day and were confident in their care!
