“Matt is responsive and punctual. He goes above and beyond and has updated his house and yard to be the best pup party zone ever! My dog and I are glad we found him.”


“Talia and Yuno took great care of my little floof Auggie! Great communication and he had the best day! Highly recommend!!!”


“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”


“Best Rover experience ever! Emily treats our pup as her own, lavishing them with fun excursions, pup cups, and even practicing commands. I feel so much peace knowing I can rely on Emily and Sean to look after my fur baby, and our pup is always excited to visit her friend and surrogate family!”


“My dog loved going to Cindy’s for day care. I can tell because he always runs into her house when we get there. Cindy was great, sent lots of pics and actually got him to eat his food. Lots of other dogs to play with too. I felt at ease while I was at work knowing that he was taken care of! Look forward to sending him there again.”


“This was Luna’s first day with Julie. She was happy when I picked her up and seemed to enjoy herself. We have another day scheduled in a week.”


“This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”


“Myrna is a great sitter. She has taken excellent care of Starbuck. We have scheduled doggie day care and boarding. Myrna's schedule is flexible and she works with us on drop off and pickup times. We will continue to use Myrna's services.”


“I can’t possibly say enough good things about Tyler and the amazing care she took of our pupper. She’s the best.”


“Kat was literally a LIFESAVER. I needed someone to watch my anxious boy last minute and she agreed to watch him so quickly and took such good care of him. Communication was excellent too!”



“Very accommodating and good communication!”


“Thanks for taking great care of Suki!”


“Victoria is extremely sweet, professional, and patient. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!!”


“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”


“Reese's stay was amazing with Nicholas and his pup! Our girl is high energy and came home tired and happy. We got pictures of her having her best day both outside playing and inside napping, which we appreciated on this hot summer day. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you!”


“Diamond is super flexible and very easy to schedule with! Huge plus she has a fenced in yard. Her dog Milo is a gentle giant. She went above and beyond and gave my pup a bath because she got into mud after it rained. Definitely trust her with your fur baby!”


About: I've always had dogs and cats, and for a short time, pet rats (they're actually really lovely!) I come from a long line of animal lovers. My great grandparents had a 'farm' when they retired and this was truly a haven for unwanted animals. Many animals they cared for were abandoned hunting dogs. When visiting as a kid, the lovely mutts became my best pals, and some of my fondest memories are piling in the back of a pickup truck with the dogs, exploring the woods and creek beds, and watching thunderstorms with them. I now have a one year old lab mix and 3 cats in my home. Many photos are of my late dog, Quinn, who made it impossible to live without a dog in the home. I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, so I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times unless otherwise communicated. I am in RVA most weekends as well. I have a fenced backyard and a dog and 2 cats. The cats have been around other dogs, and Eddy the dog loves other dogs- he has lots of energy to share!

About: Hi!! My name is Emily and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by so many pets and have a few of my own now which I love with my whole heart! Would do anything for them, as I know you would for your fur babies too!! Trusting someone with your pet(s) is a big deal, especially if it’s your first time being apart - I get it! I’d love to be able to help ease any worries or concerns by making sure they have the best time and get all the love they need while you’re away. I love sharing as many updates / photos during my stays/visits, as I would hope a sitter would do for me, too. 🥰 I have been pet sitting as well as house sitting / babysitting & professional nannying for years! I figured it would be so great to broaden my portfolio and create a rover profile to connect with more families and pets in the area. 😊 I do work full time, but work remotely with a very flexible schedule! I am currently wanting to add side gigs to help pay for my upcoming wedding in 2026. 🥰 I try and keep my availability updated daily! Please send me a message with any questions. A teeny bit make about my background with pets - I can administer medications, am great with senior dogs, high energy pups, special needs assistance and puppy training. Great with walks and play time as well! Absolutely love all the snuggles too. A bit about rover - Rover will collect about 20% of my listed rate per each booking, as well as the 8% service charge you are charged through the platform. Ask me about my rover discount, and about returning customer rates too! ❤️ I work from home so am very flexible with my schedule. I can overnight sit as well as house dogs in my home without needing to leave them unattended! They’ll always have someone to snuggle. I’m flexible with daytime / evening drop ins as well. I can care both in and out of my home. Whichever you prefer. We have a large fenced in yard and a lovely screened porch too!


About: I absolutely love dogs! I grew up on a small farm with four dogs of my own and have been taking care of them for as long as I remember. I have watched many different dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have administered medicine to diabetic dogs as well as numerous medications. I love hiking and the outdoors, and love bringing a pup along with me. Animals have always seemed to love me and I plan on getting a degree to eventually become a vet. Nurturing and caring for animals is not just a side job for me its my passion! Not only will I ensure your best friend gets the exercise they need but the love, attention, and affection they deserve as well.
