“Anna was amazing! I got consistent updates from her and she was super flexible when there were problems with my apartment, taking my dog to her house so that she would be provided for! Cannot recommend her enough!”

“Lauren was very responsive and punctual! She did a wonderful job taking care of my pup Tucker while I was gone for two days and made sure to go beyond just walking/feeding him but also spent time playing with him and bonding. I loved receiving updates while I was gone.”

“Zo takes phenomenal care of my dog and I trust him 100% with his care. My dog loves to see Zo walk through the door and Zo displays uncommon kindness and generosity to make sure my dog is happy and healthy.”

“Brooke did a wonderful job caring for our four dogs and our cat! They are a handful as two dogs are aging and slow moving, and three are on medications/supplements. We had her come three times a day to get them in and out, fed and watered. We’ll happily recommend her and use her services again. Thanks!”
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and have been there for over five years. Through this experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. My job requires patience, attentiveness, strong communication, and a genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medications when needed. We also board cats, so I am very comfortable with them as well. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. I’m flexible with my schedule and usually available, and I’m happy to provide frequent updates and photos. Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine with my own dog Bentley, and I’m excited to get to care for your pet/s as well. I’m open to trying anything that best suits your dog’s needs and routines. I’m comfortable handling dogs of any size, age, or even multiple dogs at once.
“Michelle communicates quickly and professionally. I trust her to take my dog for a lunch time walk while I am out and she always locks up behind herself. She has gone out of the way to check on our cats when one of them wasn't feeling well. Highly recommend her and glad to have her as my pet-nanny :)”

“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”

“Skylar was absolutely incredible with our four dogs! She was available at the last minute for a family emergency. In the process, she updated me and shared some photos of some very happy babies. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly! She was also very understanding when we came home sooner than expected. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Skylar for loving them as much as we do :)”

“Thanks again, Allison, for taking such good care of our boy. He's never stressed out when we get home, but quite content. Such a comfort to know he's getting quality time with you!”

“Tyler was absolutely amazing checking in on our two kittens. It was during New years eve so we really appreciated her doing it considering how last minute it was. She sent updates and pictures throughout the trip and took care of our babies so I couldn't thank her enough!!”

“Helena took amazing care of my senior kitty (Marcy) while I was away for two weeks. It was the longest I’d ever left her so I was nervous, especially considering her age and medication requirements. Helena sent pictures and video updates daily—it was clear Marcy was comfortable around her and enjoyed the company. Helena was responsive and kind throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!”

“Claire was great for our drop-in visit! She was reliable, checked in right on time, and kept us updated with clear communication. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs year-round since my teenage years, regularly dog-sitting for friends and family and gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’ve raised and cared for two dogs of my own in both urban and rural settings in East Tennessee, which taught me how to adapt routines, exercise, and enrichment to different environments. As a current dog owner, I understand how important consistency, patience, and genuine affection are when trusting someone with your pet. Dogs have been a constant part of my life, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own-safe, loved, and well-understood. As a part-timer, I wholly devote those weekdays I am not working to providing quality dog care for your pet, whether that be sitting, walking, or supervising. Often times, I am available weekends as well. As a dog owner, I understand the importance of safety and trust when leaving your cherished friend with another. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions closely, and I keep the home clean while I’m there. For dog walking and enrichment, I tailor each walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and needs, whether that means a relaxed stroll, structured exercise, or mentally stimulating activities like sniff breaks and basic reinforcement. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure dogs are properly leashed, hydrated, and supervised at all times. I communicate consistently with pet parents through updates and photos so they feel confident their dog is receiving attentive, reliable care.
Mechanicsville pet parents share their Rover experiences
We cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. This wasn’t just basic pet sitting. It was a rare combination of professionalism, patience, and a genuine compassion for animals. Our Kahlua is extremely timid and does not warm up to anyone outside of mom and dad. We were honestly very nervous leaving her — but from the very first visit, Lauren connected with her in a way we have almost never seen. Within no time our baby was relaxed, engaged, and actually excited to see her. Lauren clearly understands dog behavior and allowed ours to come to her at her own pace, and the trust she built was remarkable. We came home to a happy, calm dog and complete peace of mind while we were away. Finding someone you trust with your pet is everything, and Lauren is truly exceptional.
Brooke was wonderful! She came over before the trip to meet my dogs, see my house, and learn their routines. While I was gone she let me know when she arrived, how the dogs were, shared pictures, and when she left. I wasn't anxious at all about how the dogs were being cared for. I will 100% use Brooke again!

Anna was great to work with. She was very communicative and quick to respond. She took great care of our Husky and two cats. She even sent some adorable pictures of all of the animals during her visit. I would highly recommend using her for your next pet sitter!

Tia was great. She came to the house to meet my gang before we booked and went above and beyond when I was away. She was flexible with what I needed and helpful with everything, even when I got sick and had to come home early. I would definitely have her again!

Ev really saved us this holiday season! Our normal sitter had something come up last minute so we had to find someone same day on Christmas Eve! Ev responded very quickly and took such great care of our cat over the holiday. I told Ev that there was no way our outdoor cat would interact with her, but one day later she sent a picture of her petting our cat! Animals know kind souls.

We had an excellent experience Hannah and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Caring for multiple cats can be a challenge, but she handled it effortlessly with patience, organization, and genuine affection. She took the time to understand each cat’s individual personality, needs, and routines, ensuring everyone received the attention and care they required. Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and we returned home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats. It was clear they felt comfortable and secure in her care. Professional, dependable, and truly kind, she went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again.
