About: I have cared for friends and family’s dogs for 20 years. I have cared for dogs after surgeries, administered medications and have bottle fed puppies. I work from home for my husband’s trash business and have flexible hours so I can be available throughout the day to check in on your pet. We have 2 female indoor cats and a 3 year old male bloodhound who thinks he is one of the kids. He is crate trained.
“Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.”
About: I’ve taken care of small to medium sized dogs, fish, and cats since I was 15 years old. I have also taken care of reptiles for my friend. I focus on making sure that pets are clean, fed, happy, and healthy. I grew up with several cats, a fish, and one dog over the years. I am free on weekends all day and 7pm-9pm on weekdays. I work 7am-6pm M-F at my other job. I will always make time to get your pet the care it needs. When I come over to check on your pet I check food, water, litter, and any medications. I also make time for walks, pets, and play. I like to give your fur baby the attention they need. I clean up any messes I find when I pet sit so you don’t have to.
“I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!”
“Jeremy has walked my dog a few times and from what I can tell, she enjoys walking with him. I get an update before and a photo with time and distance after the walk, which I appreciate. When my pup wasn't up for a walk, Jeremy stayed and played with her. He was also patient while helping me to navigate booking and rebooking, when my recurring schedule changed. Looking forward to future walks!”
About: Hi! My name is Riley and I'm a 20-year-old nursing student originally from South Carolina. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm raising and caring for different animals, so caretaking has always come naturally to me. As of now, I have 4 dogs back at home and 1 dog currently residing with me. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with all types of animals, my reliability, and how much I truly love caring for them. I understand how important it is to find someone to trust with your pets. I'm very communicative, respectful of each pet's/owner's unique needs, and can confidently handle anything from a laid-back walk to giving medications or handling multiple pets simultaneously. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I'll treat your pup(s) like family! Pet care is at the center of my daily life! Rover is my full-time job, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to the pets I care for. I will be starting nursing school in Fall 2025, but for now, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time to focus completely on your pet’s needs. I live right beside the college campus, surrounded by hiking trails and parks — perfect for daily walks, outdoor adventures, and plenty of playtime. Making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for is always my #1 priority. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise — whether it’s relaxing at home, going for walks, playing in the dog park, or exploring nearby trails. In my home, your pet will also have the opportunity to socialize with my own friendly dog, who loves making new pup friends. I always keep a close eye on behavior and health to make sure they are happy and stress-free. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have provided care for many pets from my former teachers, neighbors, family and word of mouth. Both my pets have lived to be seniors and watched senior pets as well. I worked at an animal hospital for about 2 years before moving to this area. I am familiar with giving medications and following instructions on feeding due to allergies and stomach concerns in dogs. I am experienced with reactive dogs and protective dogs when entering the home. I am mostly able to do daily check ins in morning-midday. My work schedule varies, so just ask I can try to work something out! I will meet or chat with you prior to meeting your pup or cat and learn there favorite snacks, toys and walk routes. I want then to be comfortable with me.
“Jessica was so great with Rugby! He was a little stressed out at first and she made him feel right at home. She came to watch him at a concert I was playing and was great reading his cues. She made sure he had fun and didn't join in on the singing (barking) too much, and it was great not having to worry about him while I was playing.”
About: I've had experience with my own pets since I was 10 years old, and I have walked dogs and house sat occasionally as well. I raised and trained my cat from when he was a kitten and my dog from the moment he was born. I love animals, and I'm excited to work with yours! I'm looking for this to be my full time job, so I am available whenever you need me! I'm willing to visit/walk early mornings, late nights, and on weekends. For home visits, I am experienced with feeding, walking, and playing with pets. I am great at following instructions precisely, and I will stick to your pet's usual routine!
About: After saying goodbye to my 19-year-old beagle this past spring, I realized that the best way to pay tribute to her was by looking after other people's pets just as I did for her. During the pandemic, I took care of my neighbors' pets, helped with their little ones, and even signed up to foster at my local SPCA. Anyone who knows me can tell you that my passion for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently I have a full-time job, but that will not get in the way of giving your family member the love and care they need. I know how stressful it can be to find someone to watch your pet, so I am hoping to bring comfort to owners knowing I will love their animals like my own. I have watched many different kinds of animals with varied ages and needs, so I am willing to work with the owner on what makes them and their animal the most comfortable.
About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own and have cared for many pets through Rover, friends, family, and neighbors. I take the time to connect with animals and get to know them well. One of our dogs has a history of reactivity so I have experience with challenging behaviors and training. I have the patience required to care for animals that are timid or exuberant. While living in North Carolina, my wife, Ellie, and I were Rover sitters for 3 years. Now that we live in Virginia, she is working full-time as a teacher and I am self-employed as a carpenter/handy-man. My schedule is flexible and I will prioritize your pet’s needs as I create my daily plans. I am detail-oriented and will be sure to follow all instructions provided by the client. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I will care for your house and animals alike as I understand that it requires a lot of trust to share these things with a pet sitter.
“We love Kayci she’s just the best. Always cares for our Pup Rosie so well and really seems to understand and love animals. Something else I love about Kayci is she almost never fails to mention that she saw the other pets in our home too- she’s not even there to check on the cats but it is so sweet and gives me a little extra peace of mind to know she had eyes on and gave a few pets to my other fur babies.”
About: I’m an animal loving enthusiast who loves to meet new pups! I have my own 11 year old loving golden retriever and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I’ve taken a dog training class and can work on basic commands with your puppy or older dog. I’m happy to house sit, take your dog for a nice long walk (or a short one if needed!), drop in for a play date with your cats or help however I can! Let me know how I can help you with your animal care needs! Please contact me to schedule something that will serve your animal care needs! I am a teacher and have flexibility on most days throughout the summer and breaks aside from days I will be out of town. Please see the calendar for the next two weeks and reach out with any questions. I understand that all animals have unique needs and am willing to work with you on what your pet needs. I will be sure to follow instructions outlined by the owner and use my own knowledge to keep your pets safe, happy, and well taken care of!
“Allison has been so great with our 6 month old pup. It is such a relief to be able to leave him with someone trustworthy and competent like Allison on the days we have to work. I recommend her whole-heartedly!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for three dogs over an extended period. I’ve consistently been responsible for feeding, walking, grooming, and spending quality time with them. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and I love getting outside for a good walk! I will be working full time, but with advanced notice I will adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs and making sure your pets are well take care of. Advanced notice is appreciated, but I will accept work with less notice if I can accommodate it! I will care for pets in your home, and I will make sure that they’re well taken care of so you can relax while you’re away. However you need your pets taken care of, I’ve got you covered!

Kathryn S.
“Kathryn began caring for our cats when she was just a teenager, and it was obvious that she loved them as her own. Over the years we have felt very comfortable knowing that they were in her care when we were on vacation. We enjoyed hearing about their activities, and she kept us updated during and following her visits with them. It is reassuring to know that our pets can remain in their own home, and still receive loving care they deserve.”

Amber E.
“Amber has watched our dog numerous times and we never worry!! She’s very reliable, responsible, and responsive. Amber is a natural with any animals and always treats them as her own! Aspen is always excited to see her! Even now with him getting older, she writes down notes and follows our instructions with his medications and supplements to ensure he is comfortable and taken care of! Anytime we go out of town or we’re just out for a while, we call Amber! Our minds are always at ease knowing Aspen is with Amber :)”

Vanessa C.Star Sitter
“Vanessa was great with our dog, coming over twice a day to feed and walk. She is friendly, punctual and communicative...highly recommended!”
Alexi S.
“Alexi is a very loving pet sitter and completely dependable. My dog absolutely loves seeing her because he knows that she gives him all the love and attention that he needs. I appreciate that Alexi has had the patience and calm demeanor to gain the trust of my anxious dog and allow him to feel comfortable with her. She is one of his favorite people to see! I also know that Alexi is very good with senior dogs. My previous dog was very elderly and she understands the special needs of this age group. She gives excellent care and I highly recommend her!”
Nickolas S.
“Ellie took great care of my 12 year old cockapoo Beau. She sent me pictures of the fur ball every day. He absolutely loved running around in her backyard. My poor pup has some age related issues including mobility and night vision to which Ellie was very accommodating. Although he is a small dog (less than 20 pounds) he has some mobility issues after lots of activity and Ellie was more than happy to give him a helping hand up the 3 stairs to the yard. Ellie's caring and kind spirit helped my old dog feel like a little puppy again! He did not want to leave her. I will definitely trust her to look after my pup any day and I know he looks forward to it!”

“We love Kayci she’s just the best. Always cares for our Pup Rosie so well and really seems to understand and love animals.

Kirsten L.
“Kirsten has loved animals from an early age, but gravitated towards dogs. She has an amazing Golden (Zoe) and would have more if space allowed. Becoming a pet sitter gives her the opportunity to share her love for dogs, but return them when services are complete. Win. Win.”
Allison P.
“Allison has been so great with our 6 month old pup. It is such a relief to be able to leave him with someone trustworthy and competent like Allison on the days we have to work. I recommend her whole-heartedly!”
Hudson D.
“Hudson is kind, compassionate, and dedicated to my pets (one dog and three cats). He is responsible and always follows through with great care. He enjoys my pets, and clearly wants them to have what they need. I pay him weekly to care for my pets when I am at work in another state overnight and have full confidence in his abilities.”
