“William stayed with my 10 year old doggie during the holidays for 5 days and overnights. It was my first time using William and he was great about communicating with me before his arrival and also sent updates and a daily photo during his stay at my home. Thanks William!”
“Nicole did a fantastic job of watching the pets while I was gone! She sent plenty of pictures, which was reassuring. She even kept my plants watered, which was a huge help. I’d highly recommend!”
“Aelish was wonderful with our pups! She communicated quickly, took great care of our house and animals, and went above and beyond in many ways (watering our plants, cleaning, etc.). She was our first rover experience and we will be using her for all of our house sitting needs moving forward. We get uneasy being out of town leaving our animals and with Aelish we are completely confident our babies are in great hands!”
“Megan took care of my 3 dogs and house sat for me while we were on vacation the past 10 days. She sent me beautiful photos and I could tell my babies were being pampered and well cared for. I told her she could bring her own dog too, and the four of them became fast friends- Remy especially is gonna miss Hadley! Came home to happy dogs and a sparking clean house, everything was perfect. Megan was friendly and responsive to questions. I’d definitely book her again! If you need a fun, caring dog sitter, Megan is the one!!”
About: I have experience caring for both elderly and young dogs. This has equipped me with a variety of skills such as age-appropriate exercise, nutritional needs, and understanding certain behaviors and how to react. I just recently graduated high-school and need something to fill my time. Playing with your pups seems to be the best thing to fill my day! I’m free majority of the week and only work part-time as a waitress. I have a cat and dog at my house but both a friendly to other animals. If needed the animals can be put in a separate room away from clients pet.
About: Hello thank you for visiting my profile! I am a friendly and responsible woman who works full time as an Uber driver so I am able to work with any timetable you need while I am in town. I fly to Germany every other month or 2 and my calendar will reflect when I am going to be out of town. Ich spreche ein bisschen deutch + hablo un poco Español. Background: I grew up in a house full of dogs and cats and also on a farm with farm animals (child of divorce). I now have my big baby Hera (10 y/o mastiff lab mix) who is spoiled beyond words. I have also spent time volunteering at the SW VA Wildlife Rescue so I have experience working with non traditional pets and hand nursing. I have helped birth and look after 11 healthy german shepard puppies (including 24/7 care)! Please contact me if you have any questions and I look forward to caring for your precious animals! I am extremely flexible to fit your schedule! I am a self employed Uber driver and set my own hours. I fly to Germany every month or 2 and my calendar will reflect that. Your pets will be treated with love and respect! I will follow all instructions given and cater to each unique animal as needed. When house sitting I am very attentive to locking up and making sure doors are latched securely. I have experience with difficult doors and your pet's safety is my top priority!
“This pet sitting was a return of Stephen and Wanda to our house. We were gone for 8 days and our 2 dogs and cat were very happy. Stephen and Wanda just effortlessly picks up where we leave and continue with everything as we would. We choose house sitting as that is the least disruptive for the animals and Wanda and Stephen looks after our place as if it was their own. When we return the animals are happy and the house neat and tidy. Thank you for letting us go on holiday and not having to worry about the doggies. We will definitely use them again and again! We are very happy and cannot thank them enough!”
About: I’ve volunteered at many animals shelters, worked on farms, and been a pet sitter for many family and friends. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all different sizes, absolutely love animals and don’t worry your babies will get lots of love!! I do school online so I have plenty of time to take your babies out or check on them as needed! I keep my calendar updated so if it’s open I’m available! I have a friendly dog that could keep your pup company during the day and a fenced in yard. I have no problem staying the night with your dog if needed!
“Julia did an amazing job! My pets immediately loved her and she took great care of them while I was gone for a week. My house was super clean when I got back too. 5/5 would rebook again! :)”
About: I have a small pet sitting business outside of rover as well & I care for lots of different animals. I love meeting new animals and working with them, my dog Luna is very sweet and has made lots of friends from these visits. I work from home, so there’s always someone here to provide attention and care for all animals during their stay, I can provide all day care for your pets needs! All animals are allowed in any part of my home. I am comfortable in administrating medications. We have a fenced in yard for them to run and play and can offer separated potty areas or walks.
About: I have a long history in pet sitting, as well volunteer rescue work and veterinary and grooming services. I'm dedicated to making all of the animals I care for part of my family. I have experience with all different sizes, temperaments, and medical requirements. I have a soft spot for the shy, misunderstood, and elderly pets I encounter: they always turn out to be the ones I learn the most from. I'm a traveler and work remote so my schedule is flexible to accommodate whatever your pets' needs are. I am sometimes out of town for a day or two visiting my home town. I believe in keeping a calm, clean environment for all my animal friends. In addition to daily needs, I can also provide any grooming needs that may arise during our time together.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide loving, attentive, and reliable pet care tailored to each pup's unique needs. I’ve worked with senior dogs, anxious pups, and dogs with medical conditions—including those requiring daily medication, injections, or special diets. I’m confident handling everything from post-surgery care to mobility support, and I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or a strict medication schedule, I’m here to give your dog the same level of care and attention I’d give my own. I work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility to spend quality time with pets during the day and evenings. Whether it's walks, hangouts, or just keeping them company, I can fit it into my weekly routine. I'm also open to overnight stays if your pup needs a buddy at night! I care for pets in their homes just like they’re my own—keeping their routine, giving lots of love, and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you're away.
“Anida is the best! She was kind and patient even though Molly was none too happy about having a stranger in her house (well, hotel room 😆). We needed this last minute on a holiday weekend and Anida saved the day. It really took such a load off my mind and weight off my shoulders to get updates and photos of Molly's walks and naps. I can only hope to get someone so sweet and professional back home in Alabama. Thank you Anida!”

She aspires to adopt more dogs in the future because she believes that they all deserve nurturing, loving homes especially those who had bit of a difficult life like shelter dogs.
