“Lindsey was wonderful! All my animals were very comfortable with her and she provided for the needs of both my senior dog who needs medications and my younger active dog. Plus she left the house clean and tidy!”

“We had an amazing experience with Farrin as our pet sitter for our dog, Taco. She took excellent care of him overnight, making sure to give him plenty of playtime and cuddles while we were away. Farrin was respectful of our home, leaving everything clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. She even came by for a meet and greet before the booking, giving us peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Farrin again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend her!”

About: I have had dogs and cats as long as I can remember and absolutely love them and have taken care of friends' dogs for years house sitting for them many years. I have worked with horses for may years as well in many different stables, barns, rescue organizations and also therapeutic riding centers. I have helped many friends and neighbors over the years with sitting for their pets while they travel for business or vacation. I have owned dogs since I was a little girl and even rescued one in my neighborhood when I was little and named him Brownie as he was all white and had one brown spot on him. We were inseparable! Sassy was also my best friend when I was living in Virginia and I never left her when I went on vacation and always took her with me. We ran every morning, played soccer, frisbee, and she loved the beach and was such a good swimmer that she loved to ride the waves. I miss her every day! I also horse sit as I have 16 years experience working with horses on farms, equestrian facilities, rescue and SPCA facilities and therapeutic riding organizations so I can take cares of your horses too🐎🦋 I have just moved back to the Charlottesville area where I am originally from. I love to be with animals and would love to help take care of yours having taken care of dogs, cats, horses for many years for friends and their friends 😀I am so responsible, dependable, loving, kind, and your pets would be so pampered and cared for that you would have no worries about them while you are away 😍I have wonderful referrals from my many years of pet sitting and working with horses. I would love to take care of your “kids”. I love to walk and would take your dogs for lots of walks as well as plenty of playtime and snuggle time😄they would have lots and lots of attention 😁😁

About: I adopted my first dog, Ollie, when I was 18 years old. Shortly after I discovered he was suffering from kidney failure and epilepsy. This resulted in frequent vet visits and daily medications, and I'm comfortable administering medication to your pets. Now, I have three cats that I've had for almost five years, living their best lives. I love my pets and I'm looking forward to giving your best friends the same level of love and care. I work full-time. I'm available after 2pm on most days - I try to keep my availability on my profile accurate but due to the nature of my job I may have more or less availability than what is listed. Please don't hesitate to reach out and ask! Daily care routine starts in the morning with food, medication, and cleaning litter boxes. We play at their request and make sure they have access to all their toys.

“Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having”

About: Hello, I have been taking care of a wide range of animals since I was 15. I’ve had 5 ferrets, guinea pigs, cats and dogs my whole life. I have a Staffordshire terrier, an American bully, and a black lab/ leopard catahoula mix. I am used to having a heavy dog on the opposite end of the leash and I am well experienced in animal body language to keep your baby and myself safe. I am an independent contractor who does Rover, Spark, DoorDash and a couple other side gigs. I have worked a 9-5 and it was incredibly difficult following a schedule someone else made for me while trying to manage my kids school and sports schedule's. Since becoming an independent contractor I have gained great relationships with residents of Culpeper and Rappahannock county and more time with my kids. These side gigs help provide me a way to bring in income, socalize, work easily with my kids school and sport schedules and give me the flexibility to rest when my autoimmune disease flares up. I will make sure any and all instructions are followed correctly to ensure adequate and safe service. Plus a few head rubs before I left.

“Reem was fabulous with our babies! She was friendly, warm, punctual and communicative. Our three pups barely knew we were gone because they were so well taken care of.”

“Makalah is our first pet sitter from Rover. We hired her for house sitting so that she could care for our dog and cat in the comfort of their own home. We have had friends and family take care of the pets, but we’ve never had someone come spend the night. Makalah did an amazing job with both our pets. She bonded instantly with our cat and as she said, He’s my bestie! Our dog is 13 years old and requires more care, as he takes seizure medication three times a day. Makalah took on this responsibility and she made sure she let me know when she gave him his meds. Makalah’s communication with me throughout the day and night was great. She also sent pictures of both pets along with an update on how things were going. I am so glad I decided to take a chance with Rover and with Makalah. We will definitely be calling in her to care for our pets again.”

About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.

About: I've had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, and fish throughout my life. Love animals! I often pet sit for family and friends, as well as, have two cats of my own. Clean background as I work in foster care. I can promise I will love on your pet as if it's my own. Part time availability nights and weekends, overnights at times. Looking to earn supplemental income and love on some animals while doing so. Reliable and trustworthy. I will walk your pets as needed, give medication and care for them, as if they were my own. I'm willing to stay overnight once comfortable with the pet and owner.

About: I have owned and cared for many dogs throughout my life. I love every single one of them, including puppies. Active walker and play as desired. I work one day remotely (flexible day choice --weekends and holiday available! I can check on them at lunch if more than weekend is needed. Fenced yard, welcome your crate if your dog is used to it, lots of toys, blankets, and great area for walks. I provide a fun, safe environment for dogs to interact with others.

About: I believe you treat all animals like if they are your pet. I’m known to overly spoil my animals with love, funny voices, and care. I will keep you updated with pictures and videos and your pets are in exceptional care. I have an open schedule to cover their needs and care while I’m on duty and they become my family for the time they are with me. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over 15 years typically small and medium sized dogs. I do have experience with some larger breeds on basic essential needs and care. I went through a battle of IVDD with my French Bulldog who passed which took a role on how I view the time with animals in general. I have an open schedule and extremely accommodating to your needs. I can work around the necessary schedule. I work this full time and if I don’t have any sitting I also run deliveries. I have a safe and trusted environment. I have one dog who gets along with other dogs but he is hyper and wants to play and nap consistently. I have a cat who does her own thing so my house is relaxed. No little kids and just me and my partner which she works from home so there’s always someone at home.

“Tiffany was an exceptional dog and house sitter! We were thoroughly delighted with her affectionate care. Don’t hesitate to hire her to take care of your pets!”

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in the animal industry and currently work at a veterinary hospital, where I provide hands-on care to a variety of pets every day. My experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, safety, and the individual needs of different pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including pets who may require extra patience, medication, or specialized care. Working in a veterinary environment has also taught me how to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately when a pet may not be feeling their best. When caring for your pets, my priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and other specific needs. You can feel confident knowing that your pets are in the care of someone with professional animal-care experience who genuinely enjoys helping animals and treating every pet as if they were my own. Depending on my schedule I work from 7am - 3pm or 8am - 5pm, before or after my regular job I am free to hang out with your fuzzy guy! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. With 3 years of experience in the animal industry and my current work at a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, or other signs that something may be wrong, and I communicate with the owner promptly if I have any concerns. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same respect and care I give their pets, keeping things clean and secure and providing updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
