I’m willing to walk, play, feed, hangout, and anything else your dog wishes to do with their time with me!!

I have watched a verity of dogs, ranging from very energetic that needs multiple hours of play a day to dogs that don’t really want to be bothered. Anything your animal prefers I will provide :)
“This is our first time using Rover and Holly has been so wonderful! Not only is she on time and reliable, she is great at communicating and my dog is so happy for his walks! She happily incorporates his training during his walks and checks in with us, asking questions when needed to make sure she is doing everything right. I would highly recommend 🐾”

They are the cutest dogs ever and another small little furball named Cleo and she is just so adorable.

About: Hello! I'm a senior at Virginia Tech majoring in animal science. I’m taking classes over the summer so rather than working at another vet clinic, I decided to petsit so I have more time to study. I have been working on and off at vet clinics during school breaks for 4 years and I can't wait to meet you and your precious children (pets)! I will be available almost any time, given that most of my classes are virtual right now. Thankfully that means I have more time to hang with your pups! I live with a cat, and I try to limit her interactions with new pets as this tends to stress her out, so my availability is mostly directed at coming to your house to take care of your dogs and cats or take your animals on walks.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats from all walks of life and at all stages of life for the last twelve years! I am currently working part-time, so am flexible with scheduling for both weekdays and weekends during the day and evenings, as well! I am also available for overnight sitting. In my experience, each doggo and kitty has their own needs, which help them flourish best, so I abide by each fur baby’s routine and comfort level!
About: I had 3 dogs growing up. I want to have a feeling of connection again to pets that is not just in passing. I care about dogs more than most things. Having the ability to walk, stay, and play with dogs again would be amazing. I am currently unemployed and waiting to hear back from several full-time employers. In the mean time, helping others when they are out of town with their pets would be a great time. You do not have to kennel your dog and know they are in safe care. And it gives me a chance to get out of my house. I am very good with the written instructions provided, if not, I will go with how the dog feels. It is their home and I will simply be a guest. I will make sure they are in the most loving environment that is clean and always there for them.

I have spent some weekend volunteering at animal shelter events and hope to do more stuff in that range. I work at a bank but am willing to animal sit immediately after work also on some holidays and weekends. I have no allergies or fear of any animal and am willing to sit for any breed or size. I have a medium size dog of my own who I love dearly, and she says I’m a great dog sitter too.
About: I've watched pets of family and friends since I was a kid and always enjoyed it. I always make sure to spend plenty of time and give them as much attention as they want. For dogs, I did walks, gave bathroom breaks, play time, cleaned up accidents, and fed them. For cats I'll do the same, except walks. I am available everyday for the foresable future, on the bright side that leaves me with no commitments where I won't be able to watch your pets For my own cats, I fill the water and food bowls daily, as well as clean the litter boxes. Throughout the day I provide them with affection or a warm lap/bed. For dogs I will make sure they're completely safe outside and watch for any other dogs or cars. Inside I will do the same with my cats.

Ann was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was reliable, caring, and clearly treated him like her own. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands, and she kept me updated along the way. I would definitely recommend Ann to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to walk their dog. Thank you, Ann!
Likely my dogs' favorite person to come visit, Lela is punctual, communicative and fun! She took them for an exciting walk with lots of sniffs and smiles, as seen in their pictures sent in the rover card. I appreciated the thoughtful updates and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
