House Sitting in Mantua

“We were grateful for Sophia to care for our home and pets. She did a great job and was very professional, and cared for everything well. We would recommend her and would work with her again.”

“Han was absolutely fantastic with our cats! We have one shy kitty and one very outgoing sour patch kid who craves attention, and Han handled both of their personalities with ease. She kept in regular contact with us, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our cats really loved her! We also had Han house-sit, and it was incredibly reassuring to know that our cats had company for most of the time we were gone. Her care and attention to detail made all the difference. We will definitely be booking Han for all future stays—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”

“Seth was fantastic with our dog, Nash. He was punctual, communicated with us as we arranged the house sitting, and truly went the extra mile. He spent extra time helping Nash calm down for bed and sent us a great photo update. When we got home, Nash was relaxed and happy. We will book with Seth again!”

“Leah took great care of our dogs in our home, was great with communication, and left the house so clean, like no one had been there. Our husky and bulldog were undoubtedly pains in various ways, but Leah handled them gracefully and we came home to relaxed and tired pups. Hopefully Leah is available next time we need to go out of town!”

Angela T.

“Makaylah is a natural with animals and was a lifesaver when I had to take an unexpected trip. My dogs can be a bit wild with new people, but she quickly put them (and me) at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos showing all the snuggles and fun, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust her with them again.”

Jennifer L.

“Anne was available over MLK weekend when my wife and I went to the hospital to deliver our daughter. It was such a stressful and fast moving weekend, and Anne was amazing throughout. She let us add in a day because we needed another day in the hospital. And she took fabulous care of our dog - Charlie and our cat Max. Anne even dealt with an alarm from one of the house systems. Anne is a fabulous sitter, and we always contact her first when we need someone.”

“Suzy has been great house sitting for our 2 dogs and cat. She communicates frequently, and she is very attentive to our animals. I highly recommend her.”

Brian P.

“Bristol was so sweet with my 15 1/2 year old Samoyed and 8 week old puppy. Will definitely use her again the next time we are in VA and need a sitter!”

Allessandra S.

“Michelle was very gracious and kind to come last minute when my mom had an unexpected hospital stay. She was flexible and understanding when my mom had a crisis and my husband was delayed getting back home. Her kindness and affection with our boy Sherlock was wonderful!”

Carol L.

“Madeline was accommodating and friendly. I’ve never left Sadie with someone she doesn’t know but Madeline made her (and I) comfortable and sent photos throughout the sitting. She was very communicative before and during the sitting. Five stars!!”

Christalle T.

“Michael genuinely cares about dogs and making them feel comfortable and loved. Our dog Spencer can sometimes be a little shy at first, but he warmed up to Michael immediately, which says a lot. Throughout the stay, Michael kept us updated with photos, and it was obvious Spencer was having an amazing time. We had a flight delay, and Michael saved the day by staying an extra night, and sharing his schedule if we needed him even longer. When we arrived home, our house was clean and well taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind  knowing Spencer was in such capable and caring hands. We would absolutely trust Michael again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter!”

Heather U.

“Absolutely fabulous! She is an outstanding communicator, sent tons of pictures, and took great care of an old dog and a neurotic one. 10000% would recommend and use again! 💕”

Blair D.

“Kristina was great with my two dogs. It was a last minute booking and she took an extra trip to meet us and learn about their care and routine. I would highly recommend her services!”

Kym L S.

“Emely was great! She stayed in the routine that my dogs are use too and communicated very well with me on how they were doing!”

“We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dog, Rufus, while we were away in Europe for 12 days, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her care! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing she would take care of Rufus like he was her own. Throughout the 12 days, Renee kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Rufus was happy and well-loved. She gave him plenty of cuddles and attention, which we could tell made him feel at home and content in our absence. Not only did Renee provide amazing care for Rufus, but she also went above and beyond in tidying up our house and even took care of our plants—something we truly appreciated! It’s the little things that make a big difference, and she certainly took care of everything with kindness and attention to detail. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry friend!”

Trisha R.

“Kathleen was absolutely amazing with our pup! She made sure to give me updates daily and made sure our pup was well taken care of! Can’t wait to book with her again in the future! 😁”

Alexis A.

“Lacie was an amazing sitter. She handled our two “challenging” aussies without hesitation. As a rover sitter myself, I highly recommend her for taking care of your fur-kids!”

Ron M.

“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”

Kiana S.

“Katherine did a great job communicating with me and taking care of my dog, Luray! It was the first time I have used Rover for an overnight stay and it was a great experience because of Katherine!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I helped my mom with her dog boarding business in 2020 and since then have taken care of a multitude of both young and old dogs. I will NOT take last minute requests without a meet & greet. I'm used to picking up after those without potty training or those with stomach issues and sympathizing over those sweet pups. I currently have a very flexible schedule over the summer and am available for dog sitting, pet care, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I strive to be as flexible, reliable, and accommodating as possible to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every animal in my care is always my top priority. I have experience interpreting canine body language and understanding breed-specific needs, including the specialized care required for brachycephalic breeds and barrel-chested breeds. I am attentive to each pet’s individual temperament, routines, and stress signals to help create a safe and positive environment. I am comfortable administering medications, handling accidents or cleanups, and adapting to the unique needs of each pet. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have experience with other animals as well and am always willing to learn about the proper care and handling of different species. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their animals are in safe and capable hands.
