Pet Sitting in New Virginia

“Rachel is a treasure. Rachel has watched my two cats twice. This second time was while I was camping for the weekend with very limited cell service. It was really reassuring to know my fur babies were in such capable hands while I was away!”

“Jessica was fantastic! She really listened to our concerns beforehand and took everything we said into account. She gave us detailed reviews for each visit and was friendly to both us and our pets. We will absolutely be hiring her for petsitting again!”

About: Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a nurse with a passion for working with children that extends to loving on strangers' pets! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing patience and routine, I’ve cared for them and treat every pet like they’re my own. My uncle has two American bullies, and my aunt has a senior dog that I offer to take care of from time to time while they are away. Those three angels are the reason why I decided to get my own dog! I have a deep love for animals and a calm, confident approach to pet care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free. I work three times a week on a self-scheduled basis. I will make sure to update my availability as soon as my schedule is out. When I have my free time I would love to give some TLC to your fur babies and make sure they are content and happy! I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own three fur babies. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I will follow your routines closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure to provide you with regular updates and tons of cute photos while you are away. My goal is peace of mind for both of you!

About: I’ve pet sit for family/friends and I work at a kennel. I also own my own pets as well. I’m going to school to be a veterinarian technician. My work schedule changes a lot but I’m more than happy to work pet care in for you and your pet to make you happy! I treat the pets like they are my own and making sure they are getting enough attention and have the necessities they need through out the day.

“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”

About: I prefer to dog sit in my own home or offer drop in service as I have dogs of my own at home. I know how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pet is well loved and cared for while you're away from home and to be able to have that peace of mind. My baby (4 y/o spayed female) gets along well with any size/breed of dog and would LOVE to make new friends! Let me help you put your mind at ease and love on your 4 legged friend or friends. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! 💞 I work from home so I am present all day, not usually gone for more than a couple hours in the evening if at all. At home, I am present all day for bathroom breaks and playtime (or sun naps) in the fenced backyard. I do not force my dog to stay off furniture or out of the bed but can easily crate your baby if needed/required. My dog is crate trained but free roams while I'm away unless I'm dog sitting where crating is needed. In your home, I'll do as asked. I prefer to spend some play time with them rather than just potty and leave where possible to make sure they are getting exercise and attention while you're away.

“As always, Otto loves Lisa! She was able to drop by last minute for our little guy”

About: I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My Schedule is open and flexible. I work m-f and I am home after 5 pm. There is someone at my house (my husband works at night) so They are available to help take animals out and on walks if needed. I am very flexible for dropins, house sitting, and much more! Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dog on a hike, walk or puppy play date. I live in a dog friendly house I also have a tiny personal fenced yard which is perfect for dogs to sunbathe in. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and enjoy pup slumber parties. If your pup needs a bath, I am willing to scrub them in the tub. I am also known to make homemade dog treats. Let your dog be spoiled by me!

“Lexi did a great job with Jazz and Kipper. She communicated their care well and they were happy/healthy dogs when we came home. Thanks for the amazing care Lexi!”

“I feel very fortunate to have found Lucia. She has taken care of my cat and recently my King Charles Caviler. She does everything she promises and the animals love her. I will continue to use Lucia and can highly recommend her!”

About: I have always had dogs in my life since birth however I did adopt my own rescue dog at 16 years old and he was my spoiled baby for 9 long happy years before I unfortunately had to put him down at the beginning of this year due to cancer :( Aside from my own personal dog I am also a proud bunny mama to 2 bunnies. Throughout the years I've dog sat for friends and family both at their houses and at my own and I did also work part time for about a year at "The Barking Lot" as a side job walking dogs, cleaning suites, bowls, etc as well as helping with doggy daycare, TLC, etc. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm so I have plenty of time on weekdays to do evening walks and am free most weekends to do dog walking, animal check ins, occasional weekend overnight at your place or mine! I have a large yard with a tie out but usually prefer supervised leash walking depending on the dog. For boarding I do have another dog in the home as well as 2 bunnies however the bunnies have their own room separate from where I'd allow any dogs :)

“Summer was responsive, had great communication with us beginning with meeting our dog and through our return, and is very knowledgeable. Independent of Rover’s background check, we never had second thoughts about trusting her (someone we had previously only met for about 10minutes) in our home or to take care of our dog. Very respectful. Would definitely ask her again.”

About: Hi, I am Raelyn! I work for my sister’s business, HoneyK9 Training in Minnesota, and recently graduated college at Drake University! I have taken care of many animals through drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I have been relied on to feed, exercise, and love on the animals I am watching! I am a full time student currently working part time at a yoga studio. I have some extra time that I would love to be spending with animals At home, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. In my clients home if I am doing a drop in, I will make sure the dog gets let out at least 2 times before I leave, feed them if I am instructed to, and give them love. For house sitting, I have had a scheduled where I can leave the house for my yoga job, not for past a certain amount of hours, I make sure the dog is getting outside and getting fed. For walks, I have typically done 30 minute walks, making sure the dog goes potty, and is getting their exercise in for the walk!

About: Friends have relied on me to take care of their furry friends. I’ve watched small and medium dogs, as well as a kitten. The longest I have stayed at a house is for 5 days. I feed, walk, and play with pets. I am available evenings Tuesday - Saturday and all day Sunday and Monday. I work 8-4:30 throughout the week so I am available to walk dogs or do daycare at 5 pm. I take dogs out on walks, feed them, and occasionally cuddle with them on the couch as we watch reality tv shows. I have plenty of blankets so your pet will be nice and cozy!

“Great meet and greet with Yasmin. Definitely a dog lover and our trio of pooches loved getting to know her. Will definitely keep her at the top of our Rover list!”

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the experience I’ve had caring for dogs from a young age. I’ve always helped take care of my uncle’s dog, making sure she was fed, taken out to go potty, and had someone to play with. I’m very patient and always pay attention to what each dog needs—whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and do my best to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to care for pets, especially dogs. I really enjoy being around animals—it gives me a chance to get outside, stay active, and do something I love. Spending time with pets is not only fun for me, but it also helps me stay balanced and happy during the week. When caring for pets, I always make sure their needs come first. With my own dog, I take him outside regularly—whether it’s for potty breaks or just to enjoy some fresh air. I stay by his side the whole time to make sure he feels safe, loved, and not alone. Whether I’m at home or at a client’s home, I give the same level of attention, making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I’m always patient and gentle, and I make sure to show them lots of love and affection.
