About: I’ve had experience with rescue animals in my home since my childhood. I began working as a pet sitter and dog walker (babysitter as well!) at 14, which has always been my favorite job! I was able to get a job as a kennel assistant in a veterinary clinic at 16 and worked my way up to a veterinary assistant position. I have dealt with administering medication and other veterinary procedures, and dealing with more special care required animals. I’m a college student taking online and in person courses through the local community college, so I have a pretty open schedule. Working a traditional job in college can be quite stressful, so I’m giving this a try! I have been working in other people’s homes for several years babysitting and pet sitting. I’m happy to clean dishes, take out trash, carry in mail and packages, and any other simple tasks. I always try my best to clean after myself and the fur babies each visit!

About: Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a 20 year old college student remotely studying Psychology and Criminal Justice. I’ve had dogs and a cat since I was young and was always held accountable to take care of them! I took a Veterinary Science class in High School and dealt with animals on a daily during this course (Bunnies and Puppies.) I have recently owned hamsters and fish as well that were 100% my responsibility. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have 4 years of paid experience with pet sitting for neighbors. Animals deserve the world and I love to make a difference in their lives even if they don’t understand it :) I am also willing to negotiate pricing based off your animals energy/need for attention/etc. Please reach out to me with any additional questions and I’d be happy to answer! I am currently a college student who is taking online courses to work on getting my degree. Other than daily assignments, I have no other daily commitments and will be available 90% of the time, other than my planned unavailability on my calendar! I have a large front and back yard with plenty of room to play. I do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she keeps to herself and is never a bother. I could easily keep her separated from your pet. If in your home, I will be sure to take all the steps you request and go above and beyond to ensure you and your animals are comfortable.

“Nacho and Mia loved having Hope stay with them. There was good communication and a quick response when we initially reached out. The home was left exactly as we left it, and overall, there is nothing but positives to say. Our pets were well cared for and happy. We will hire Hope again.”


“Everything went very smoothly with Victoria taking care of our 14 year old dog and 4 year old cat. The request was made just days before we had to leave town for a family situation. Victoria was prompt responding to my initial request. She arrived promptly for a meet and greet, our dog loved her and our cat actually came out of hiding the second day and hung out with her! Victoria immediately put our minds to rest about using a new pet sitter so last minute. She kept us updated on how the kids were doing while we were away and left our house looking perfect when we arrived home. We will definitely contact her when we travel again.”


About: Many members of my family have had dogs, cats, and various other types of pets for my entire life. In my own home, my parents began giving me pet care tasks to help me practice caring for animals when I was pretty young. These skills have developed significantly over the years. I am a loving and caring person and have always had a playful side. This being said, I am still able to handle stressful situations with a firm but compassionate hand. This gives me a distinct advantage when it comes to pet care. Currently I work two jobs, one full-time and one part-time. The full time job have regular hours M-F, 8am to 4pm. I would be able to do drop in visits both before work starts and after it ends. I usually work my part time job on weekends in the late morning- early afternoon. They are very flexible and as long as I get enough notice, I will be able to schedule visits then as well. I feed my cat on a regular schedule so I am able to do the same with your pet. I am also able and willing to play, bathe, or just hang out with your pets. Unfortunately I would not be able to have your pets in my apartment, as my complex does not allow unauthorized animals but I am more than willing to come to you!

About: I’ve had animals most of my adult life. I’ve just lost my cat and dog this year and need the fulfillment that a pet can give you! Unconditional love and affection! I work part time 15 hours a week and am otherwise wide open with time. I’m also available for walks and check in’s with dogs and cats. I have a fairly large back yard and have no other animals to contend with. I am trust worthy, honest and loving to all animals I currently work 5 hours 3x a week and am otherwise home. My schedule is flexible. My husband is also available to help If needed. I have over 1/2 acre and would walk your dogs 3x a day or more if needed. I have a dog park and park close by.

“Nicole was excellent! Both of my cats LOVED her. Mimi was feral and normally won’t come out of hiding for most people, but Nicole had her playing and snuggling !! She sent pics and/or videos every day and made me feel completely safe and comfortable that she was watching my home and cats. I’d give 10 stars if I could! Thanks Nicole!!”


About: I have experience with all animal types including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds, pocket pets and some reptiles. I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs, 6 cats, a leopard gecko and several chickens, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will only accept animals into my home to be boarded that are dog-friendly. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk. I do work full time but I am able to make drop in visits around my work schedule. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your pets and their needs while you are working, vacationing, etc. I can care for pets early before work, mid-day and late after work. On weekends my schedule can be more flexible depending on what activities I have going on. Any dogs that come into my home will be treated as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. Boarding dogs will have their own room to hang out in.

About: I’m completely comfortable administering medication oral, injectable and topical. Nail trimming, ear cleaning or needing to be brushed? Not a problem! Every pet deserves and experience! Working part time as a veterinary assistant I have am free on weekends whether that be a stop in or a weekend getaway. But your needing a mid day stop? Still no issue, i’m very flexible and willing to work! Every pet is different, i have a clear understanding of body language in both feline and canine. If your pet needs a little extra help getting up those stairs i’m right behind them!

“Alyssa is such a sweet and respectful person. I would always reach out to her for my future needs for dog sitting. I will recommend Alyssa anytime someone needs help watching their pets. I had to go out of town on short notice and I had reached out to Alyssa, she was very responsive and the communication with her while I was away was fantastic. I have two dog's, one of which needs medication. Alyssa was able to make sure that the medication was delivered on time and let me know that my baby had taken her medicine. I am very happy with Alyssa and how she conducted herself, she is such a professional. I know in the future that I will not have to worry while I'm away for work.

She ensures my animals all have fresh food, clean areas and lots of treats! I cannot say enough positive attributes about her. OH and she sends fun videos and pictures of my animals when I am gone which make me so happy!”
Mattaponi pet parents share their Rover experiences
Briar is a conscientious and caring pet sitter who genuinely enjoys playing with the dogs she looks after. She has been very patient and solicitous with my skittish spaniel, who nevertheless requires a good deal of attention and activity, and I know after hiring Briar on two occasions that I can rely on her to give my spaniel the attention and stimulation she needs. It’s such a relief to know that I can rely on Briar to offer such care and affection in my absence. I highly recommend her.
