About: I grew up around animals, both cats and dogs, and have always loved meeting other people’s dogs and cats!! I have walked dogs, most recently in DC over this past summer. I have also stayed with people’s cats. I understand how meaningful pets are to their families, and I want to be known as a safe, reliable person you can count on when you are going out of town and sadly can’t bring your pet! I will look after your pets like they are my own, even for a short period of time. I currently work full-time at a nonprofit in Virginia Beach. My apartment doesn’t allow for pets, so I thought Rover would be a great way to be around animals in the time that I cannot have my own. I am very active, so I love going on walks with dogs, and I am happy to spend my weekends hanging out with your pets. While I am often not available from 9-5 on the weekdays, I am available for weekends and after 5 on the weekdays, in case you work different hours than I do and need someone to check in on your pup or cat! I completely understand the love and value we have for our homes and our pets. While I cannot have pets in my apartment, I can guarantee to respect your home and treat it with the utmost care, while making sure your pet is safe and having a good time!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in animal shelters, dog daycare centers, and boarding facilities. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. After recently losing my beloved dogs, I realized I wasn't quite ready for another long-term commitment, but I deeply missed having dogs around. Rover has given me the perfect opportunity to open my home and heart to dogs while helping other pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have two cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable sharing their space, as well as two young children who have been around dogs their entire lives and know how to interact respectfully with them. For the comfort and safety of every pet in my care, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention and create a calm, stress-free environment during their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. My mornings typically begin with feeding pets, potty breaks, walks, or playtime before my family's daily activities start. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I can accommodate additional potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In the evenings, pets are included in our family's relaxed routine, with more playtime, walks, and cuddles before bedtime. For boarding and daycare, dogs are rarely left unattended, and I only accept pets from one household at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Dogs have access to our large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and because I am home throughout the day, they receive consistent attention and companionship. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, which allows me to focus on their individual needs and maintain a low-stress environment. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention at their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having a quiet and reliable caretaker, I respect their personality and routine. I am also comfortable following special instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“This was our first time booking with anyone, and it was just a drop in visit for a few hours while we were on a day trip, but it was just perfect. Kelsey let me know when he had arrived and sent me lots of pics (which I loved) and kept me updated on how it was going. We had good communication back and forth and it was a great peace of mind for me to know the dogs were all good. They had a great break with Kelsey and lots of time to be outside if they wanted, or to cuddle with Kelsey as one of them did a great deal, and just overall a nice social break in their day.”

“De was a wonderful dog sitter! I did the 60 min drop in visit, and I feel that De went above and beyond for my dogs. My dogs are pretty particular about certain things and she was very good at making sure my dogs were comfortable.”

About: Due to frequently moving around for my moms job, I wasn't able to have a pup to myself, however that never stopped my from caring for others. Where ever we called home, I became the go-to pet sitter in my community. In the beginning I advertised myself to my moms coworkers and before I knew it, people already new my name and would refer me to others. I was only allowed to care for these fur babies on school breaks during my primary years and I still do so now when I visit my mom overseas. In the past I have done boarding, drop-ins as well as walks. Walks: I usually walk dogs about 3-4 times a day. At wake up usually around 8am around human lunch time (noon) another about 4 or 5pm and another before bed 10/11. My walks usually span from 15-45 minutes. Lunch walks are on the shorter side as well during peak heat hours. Longer walks are morning and afternoon/night times as I have more time to dedicate and its usually cooler. If your doggie needs more or less walks/time outside I am happy to accommodate. Attention: I am more than happy to accommodate to your pups personality and regular home life. If your doggo loves cuddles and kisses I am free for all the above but if that is not their style let me know and can provide space for alone time (or parallel laying lol). I allow pets on my bed but if this will interfere with their learning and home training, let me know these limitations. Playtime: I usually play with pups when they show signs that they will like to play. Whether they have the zoomies and we round around or if we are playing tug-a-war. If you have a more active dog, I will accommodate with more activities and longer walks. If they enjoy running I can also comply as I am trying to get better at running. If your dog has a preference for dog parks, let me know so I can accommodate as well. Being a college student, I am flexible when it comes to a pups needs. I work a part-time job as well as attend classes but, I live a block away from both so quickly getting home or to my car is not a problem. I am a pretty active person as I like to walk and experience nature to its fullest. I know some nice spots to walk and stretch your doggos legs. I also know how to get comfortable and cuddle :) For this fall semester I have classes during the day and have a part-time job during the evening (3-4h) but I am able to work a proper, caring schedule to care for you babies. Emergencies: PLEASE provide me your dogs medical records as well as your vets number and location. This is for emergencies only and I will contact you first if anything arises.

About: Hi there! I'm Leila, and I've been passionate about caring for dogs since childhood. Growing up in a home filled with at least two dogs at any given time (sometimes as many as four!), I've developed a deep understanding of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it's a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I've got the experience to cater to their unique needs. What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my ability to offer continuous companionship, thanks to my remote work setup. Your furry companion will never experience loneliness or neglect while you're away. I'm fully committed to ensuring your pet feels loved, secure, and content in your absence. My services go beyond basic care. I also provide specialized assistance such as puppy training and senior dog care. I recognize the significance of positive reinforcement and patience with young dogs, and I'm well-versed in the extra care and gentleness required for our senior canine friends. My goal is to provide you with complete peace of mind, knowing that your beloved family member is in the best hands possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! As a remote worker, I can seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This means I can prioritize your pet's needs as required, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding times, or simply providing companionship, I adapt my schedule to accommodate your pet's unique requirements. I'm committed to providing personalized care tailored to your pet's needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and content in their environment. I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and following any specific instructions you've provided. By keeping your pet in their own space, I aim to minimize stress and ensure they receive the highest level of care. Please note that, at this time, I exclusively offer pet-sitting services in your home, ensuring your pet's comfort and security while you're away.

About: I always send pictures to update the owners, and let them know what we did that day or how the animal was that way they know everything is going smoothly. Just got home for the summer from college. I’m working part time tuesday-thursday 4pm-10pm but other than that i’m super flexible. I care for people’s pets as if they were my own, growing up with animals has made me love each and every animal I see out in public, I’m one of those people who will ALWAYS ask to pet your dog.

About: Cat mom of 2, Jimmi is 25 and rescued from Fukushima Japan during my time volunteering with Japan Cat Network (he’s a bit of a celebrity and was featured on animal planet!), and Pixie is 3 years old. Every cat has their own unique “big personality” that compliments the home and add a little spunk to our lives! My dog Kylo is a rescue from Prince William county VA animal shelter and has been with me since 2018, he’s approximately 10 years old. I recently moved from northern VA and looking to get to know the community better. What better way than through meeting likeminded pet owners! I am currently looking for professional work and availability will be evenings and weekends, but for now I have quite a bit of flexibility to accommodate. I’m in a smoke free apartment with an extra bedroom, a nice dog park, and dog wash station available. I’m happy to also come to your home and follow your routines.

About: I'm a responsible, detail-oriented pet lover who treats every animal like part of my own family. I've helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, handling feeding, walks, playtime, and cleanup. I'm patient with shy or anxious pets and give them time to warm up at their own pace. I follow each owner's instructions exactly, from feeding amounts to medication schedules, and I keep a close eye on appetite, energy, and behavior so I can let you know right away if anything seems off. My background in tech support has made me calm under pressure and great at clear communication, so you'll get regular photo updates and quick replies. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a laid-back senior, or a cat who prefers quiet company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work a full-time job with a predictable schedule, so I'm available for drop-in visits and walks on weekday [mornings/evenings] and have more flexibility on weekends. For boarding or house sitting, I plan my week around your pet's routine so meals, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. Safety comes first. I keep doors and gates secured, use a leash on every walk, and never leave pets unsupervised with unfamiliar animals. Our home in West Ghent is [quiet / has a fenced yard / is pet-free / has kids who love animals], and I keep toxic foods and cleaning products out of reach. In your home, I follow your house rules exactly, send photo updates after each visit, and keep your vet's contact info handy in case anything comes up.

“Kage is awesome with our kitties and gecko! The kitties love her and we always get the best and funny photos! We have booked with Kage multiple times.”
