“Felecia was so awesome! Resun and Roxy absolutely love her I can tell and are very comfortable with her. They even let her bathe them lol. We appreciate her patience during the 2 meet and greets as well for she did not have to do that. She took great care of our home EVEN washed their dog bowls out🫂☺️ We are grateful to know her and be able to travel freely now without worry. Thank you Felecia! See you again soon”

About: I am in the military and am unable to have a pet of my own that lives with me full time, unfortunately. But I would love to be able to care for yours while you are away! I am currently on medical leave from the military (nothing physically prohibiting), so my schedule is almost completely open to accommodate your fur babies. I have had animals my whole life, and have a deep affection for all types. I also volunteer at an animal shelter weekly and love getting to know every animal’s unique personality. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and spending quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and make sure they receive the care, attention, and companionship they’re used to. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I keep a clean, calm environment and am attentive to their behavior and individual needs. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have many years of experience caring for family pets as well as raising beagle puppies from birth to adoption. I have experience working with dogs, cats and small birds. I am very attuned to animal body language and can read behavioral cues very well. I help care for my family dog by letting her outside for potty breaks throughout the day as well as feeding 2 times a day. I also spend quality time with her in the form of playing and walks My first priority in my day is to make sure the pets' needs are met so that they may be comfortable while I continue my daily tasks throughout the day. Feeding times are at regular intervals.

“Geneive was great with our kitty! He was not feeling like himself and had to get medications given to him and Geneive did a great job giving him his medications. She sent us many pictures and videos of him throughout the time. Its not easy leaving your sick pet with someone put she made us feel comfortable that our kitty was well taken care of. She was on time and professional. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone!”

“Erin is a wonderful pet sitter. She made sure my cat was very well cared for and loved everyday. My shy kitty really liked Erin as she would greet her at the door with lots of purrs and cuddles. I highly recommend Erin and will use her again.”

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.

“Zara definitely has a way with animals. My dog doesn’t like everyone and he warmed right up to her. I would highly recommend her and I hope she’ll be able to watch Petey many more times in the future.”

“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.”

About: I’m a Physician Assistant student at EVMS who grew up with a dog (my best friend) all my life.

I am a very active person, so I can take your dog on walks/runs and get them plenty of exercise. I am also perfectly happy staying in and relaxing if that is what your dog prefers :) I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and am willing to adapt and learn how I can best take care of your pet, as I understand every dog has his or her own different needs!

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!
