“Suzy was fantastic - provided ample updates/photos and did a great job with my dog. She was super communicative and I always felt in the loop with regards to walks, feeding, etc. Thank you Suzy!”
“Seth provided excellent care for my older pup Riley making sure his meds were dispensed correctly. It was wonderful to go on a long weekend trip and have the peace of mind that my precious pup was taken care of and he was happy when I returned. Would highly recommend Seth !!!”
“We were grateful for Sophia to care for our home and pets. She did a great job and was very professional, and cared for everything well. We would recommend her and would work with her again.”
About: I've been dog walking and pet sitting for over 15 years! I have always loved spending time with animals and have a long history of caring for dogs and cats of all different ages/sizes. Currently working from home part time, so I am very flexible when it comes to schedules! I'm happy to drop by during the day for walks/play sessions. And am also very open to multi day house sitting/pet sitting! I am very flexible and can do whatever is needed to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and make sure your home is taken care of!
“Leah took great care of our dogs in our home, was great with communication, and left the house so clean, like no one had been there. Our husky and bulldog were undoubtedly pains in various ways, but Leah handled them gracefully and we came home to relaxed and tired pups. Hopefully Leah is available next time we need to go out of town!”
“Kaitlyn is a wonderful and caring pet sitter. She is in tune to our dog Stacy's needs and goes above and beyond to care for her. She stays in contact with us during our vacations and we know our fur baby is well taken care of so we can enjoy vacation!”
“Anne was available over MLK weekend when my wife and I went to the hospital to deliver our daughter. It was such a stressful and fast moving weekend, and Anne was amazing throughout. She let us add in a day because we needed another day in the hospital. And she took fabulous care of our dog - Charlie and our cat Max. Anne even dealt with an alarm from one of the house systems. Anne is a fabulous sitter, and we always contact her first when we need someone.”
“Rosemary did a fantastic job with our dog while we were at our son's college graduation. She also helped with watering plants and getting the mail. She spoiled our dog with attention. Will book her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I helped my mom with her dog boarding business in 2020 and since then have taken care of a multitude of both young and old dogs. I will NOT take last minute requests without a meet & greet. I'm used to picking up after those without potty training or those with stomach issues and sympathizing over those sweet pups. I currently have a very flexible schedule over the summer and am available for dog sitting, pet care, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I strive to be as flexible, reliable, and accommodating as possible to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every animal in my care is always my top priority. I have experience interpreting canine body language and understanding breed-specific needs, including the specialized care required for brachycephalic breeds and barrel-chested breeds. I am attentive to each pet’s individual temperament, routines, and stress signals to help create a safe and positive environment. I am comfortable administering medications, handling accidents or cleanups, and adapting to the unique needs of each pet. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have experience with other animals as well and am always willing to learn about the proper care and handling of different species. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their animals are in safe and capable hands.
“Stephanie was great!! My dogs LOVED her and she was very communicative! I felt very comfortable having Stephanie house sit with my two dogs and would highly recommend her!”
“Lorene was wonderful with my boys. She was conscientious about making sure they did not get into trouble while in the backyard as they like to hunt for critters. She said that both of them were perfect gentleman and wonderful Snugglers. They also were very easy when administering their eyedrop’s and other meds. So happy we found Lorene and will be using her again.”
“Miria was great with our cat for a week long trip - she was extremely responsive and sent tons of videos of her while we were gone, which was great for peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Katy was such a blessing! She cared for my older pups as if they were hers, administering meds and eye drops as required. Always a professional, she kept me informed throughout her stay. Highly recommend this sitter! Sincerely hope to reschedule her in the future.”
“Morgan was exactly the sitter our pups needed! We were able to go on our trip without any worries at all. Her updates were regular and showed what a great time they were having. One of our dogs is quite particular when it comes to sitters and they were fast friends. House was left spotless and all mail and packages were brought in. Could not recommend Morgan more!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. She communicated regularly and sent pictures often. She also went above and beyond cleaning up which was a nice surprise after a week of business travel. I would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again.”
“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”
“This was our first time using Winnie and she was fantastic! She gave plenty of updates throughout the week, with lots of pics and videos to let us know our dog was having a great time. We recommend her highly, and will be certainly be rebooking in the future!”

We cannot speak highly enough of Winnie and her care for our pup and home while house sitting. Being away from our pup is incredibly stressful for our family but Winnie's care, experience and communication gave us so much relief that our pup was in amazing hands. We are incredibly lucky to have found Winnie and a million times, yes, to the question of whether we will be booking with Winnie again!
Will was a joy to have in our home taking care of our 110lb Great Pyrenees named Bear! At our initial interview, we knew he would be a good match. He asked good questions. He won us over with his confidence and skill dealing with a very large dog. Bear had a blast in our absence. Will walked him a least 3 times a day, played with him in our fenced yard, and kept Bear on a schedule. Will also took time to work on some of Bear's training exercises and adminstered his monthly meds. I really liked that Will worked from our home, so he spent most of the day with Bear, which is what Bear is accustomed to. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. We would happily hire Will again.
Eric was awesome. We are very picky parents as our fur baby is a love of our lives! We are quite picky when it comes to anyone that we allow to spend time with our girl. We were a bit nervous since it seemed as though Eric didn’t really have many reviews and seemed to be new on Rover, but that skepticism quickly went out the door when Eric walked in. Sophie immediately gravitated towards him, which is always a great sign! We were able to enjoy a worry, free date night, knowing that our girl was with very capable hands.. Eric seems to be a very nice young man whose parents should be very proud of the son that they raised and the great first impression he maked on those fortunate enough to cross paths with him. We highly recommend him and will be more than happy to provide any additional feedback. Should another pet parent need reassurances that they’re making the right decision by hiring him.
Caroline did sooo well with our timid older dog Annie. Giving her space in the beginning which led to Annie snuggling with her as the night went on:) she is so attentive as well to our young puppy, following our schedule of eating and going out to potty. Our pups are like our children and I knew they were in such great hands!
This was our very first time using Rover, and as extremely overprotective dog parents, we were definitely nervous. But Brad was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He eased our minds with daily updates, complete with photos and videos that showed just how well our dog was doing! We also had a Fi tracker on his collar and it was so reassuring to see how many walks and steps he was getting. Brad took him out so often, even more than our normal routine! Our dog occasionally gets so excited that he’ll throw up if he hasn’t eaten in a while, and when it happened, Brad immediately texted us, cleaned it up, and made sure he ate and drank after. His communication was quick, calm, and thoughtful, which helped us feel totally at ease. It was clear our dog was incredibly well cared for — he got plenty of walks, playtime with his toys, and lots of attention. Honestly, he looked sad when Brad left! Brad also left our home neat and spotless, which we really appreciated. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Brad. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our fur baby, and we’d recommend him to absolutely anyone. We hope to book with him again!
Michele went above and beyond to take care of/keep us updated on our dog. He has a few quirks that make leaving him a bit stressful, and she was so accommodating and understanding. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in such good hands. Would definitely book her again!
