About: Hi! I’m Ashlee, a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand that pets are family. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, overnight care, drop-in visits, medication administration, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I provide dependable and compassionate care tailored to their unique needs. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, shy cats, multi-pet households, and pets with special routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they are in caring and capable hands. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can stay connected with your furry family members while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and treating them like one of my own! Stay at home Mom with brownish kids that care for themselves 😂 we have a pretty regular schedule Monday through Friday and do sporting events on weekends. We are usually home otherwise. When you leave your pet in my care, you’re not just hiring a pet sitter—you’re choosing someone who genuinely understands the trust you’re placing in them. With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply maintaining their regular routine, I provide attentive, personalized care that helps reduce stress while you’re away. I am dependable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, administering medications when needed, and recognizing changes in behavior that may require attention. Communication is also a top priority for me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages, giving you peace of mind that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet feels secure and you feel confident knowing they’re in capable hands.

We make sure our kennels are cleaned daily and anything else that is needed.We are homebodies so we are with our animals should they need anything, plus our extra time means extra playtime outside of the kennels.

It’s such a relief knowing she was safe and happy. I would absolutely recommend Lori to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”

About: Hello! My name is Kelley and I have lots of furry children. I have four Siberian Huskies and a Shiba Inu and they make life fun and adventurous! I have experience working with cats and dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have experience caring for rabbits as I had my own. Growing up I volunteered at the VCA Adoption center where we took care of the animals looking for homes and spent a few years of my adult life volunteering and running a rescue. I absolutely love animals and treat all exactly as I would want someone to treat my own. 😁 I am available most evenings after 4PM or anytime on Thursdays. I try to be as flexible as I can for last minute bookings to assist in any way I can. My entire front yard is fenced in with 6ft chain link fencing. It has a mini agility course as a fun activity for the dogs. I also have extra crates and can crate if/when needed. If I am coming to your home I will treat it and your pets with love and respect.
“My very large puppy had a great time with Abbi’s dog! (And Abbi and her husband!!). Everything was very smooth, from booking, to drop off, to pick up. She kept in touch with me and sent photos throughout their time together. Thank you so much for loving my dog!!”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom had as many as six dogs at a time, and I was actively involved in their daily care from a very young age. We also had multiple litters of puppies over the years, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from newborn puppies to senior dogs. In addition to dogs, I've cared for cats, rabbits, and hamsters, making me comfortable with a variety of pets and their unique needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I've spent a lifetime around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Most recently, my two beloved dogs passed away. While I'm not quite ready to bring new pets into my home yet, I miss having animals in my life. Pet sitting felt like the perfect way to continue spending time with pets, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾❤️ I work from home with a flexible job. I am able to take care of your pets on whatever schedule works best for them and you. I have a fenced in yard for your pets to run around in. I also live in a cul-de-sac so it’s a safe neighborhood to walk pets in! I have no other pets living in my home so all my attention can be on your baby or babies!
About: I’ve had dogs in the home since I was a small child and host small dogs (under 20 pounds) in my home. I'm new to booking through Rover, but can supply references, if requested. I’m excited to open my door (and heart) to your pup for day visits or overnights. I have one super tough 6 pound Shihtzu-Chihuahua in the house so your pups must be friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with puppies and caring for senior dogs. I work from home so I'm at home all day and night during the week. On weekends, I'm never gone for more than 3- 4 hours at any one time. Most of the time, I'm home with the fur babies. I have a house with ample room to welcome up to 2 dogs (same owner) at a time. I have a fenced back yard area allowing for exercise and free roaming. I never leave pets outdoors unattended. Dog's will normally sleep in my bed with me, but totally fine if they prefer their own bed in my room.
About: I’ve owned and have taken care of dogs all my life! I have always been an animal lover and I treat them like my best friends! I can provide food, treats, water, and anything else they might need! I have my availability set any day unless I have a booking! I am available 7 days a week at all times to take care of your pets needs and walks!! I am still young and can be a fun walking buddy to energetic dogs! If I am unavailable a day you need, Let me know and we can try and work something out!! My home is very clean, animal friendly with a yard they can play in! I also have a very friendly golden doodle who loves to make friends! (he is neutered and all up to dates on shots)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Nickelsville commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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 sitter.
