House Sitting in Ordinary

“Emmie, my corgi girl, immediately took to Linda rolling over for belly rubs. I received updates and cute photos throughout the stay so I never worried. Came home to very happy pets! Booking my next weekend now.”

“We cannot say enough good things about Taylor and the exceptional care she provided for our three dogs over the past two weeks. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing they were in capable and loving hands. Taylor kept us updated with frequent pictures, allowing us to see how happy and comfortable our pups were under her care. Beyond her regular duties, Taylor truly went above and beyond when one of our dogs experienced a medical emergency. She acted quickly, coordinated a vet visit, and then provided attentive post-care, ensuring our pup's full recovery. Her professionalism, calm demeanor, and dedication in such a stressful situation were nothing short of remarkable. Taylor is a compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier pet care. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and we would not hesitate to book her again in the future!”

“I feel so lucky to have found Sydney! She's so patient and gentle with my timid girls. She is a true professional and takes her job seriously. She even left treats for the girls after she left. I will definitely be calling Sydney back again soon! ”

“Monique’s and her husband Daniel do an amazing job taking care of our Vizsla Skye! We have hired them many times and feel so comfortable leaving Skye in their care. Skye recently tore her ACL and we knew that she was in great hands. From the moment that we met Monique and Daniel we knew we found a great team.”

“Ayanna took great care of our two large dogs. I especially appreciated that she was available at the last minute, flexible, and communicative. Would definitely book again!”

“Caitlin helped us out last minute and was extremely accommodating to our senior dog with anxiety. She shared pictures and her response times were great. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Symone was absolutely amazing. All the dogs warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive to all their needs to include endless puppy snuggles. She checked in regularly sending picture updates. I would use her again and would recommend her!”

“Trenton was an absolute lifesaver! We’ve had some disappointing experiences with sitters on this app recently ranging from not following instructions to doing quick 30-minute drop-ins when we specifically requested house sitting. Trent completely restored our faith in Rover. He followed all of our instructions to the letter, took excellent care of our dog Thor, and even kept our home clean and organized, something we haven’t experienced with past sitters. We truly appreciate his reliability and professionalism. We will most definitely continue using his services.”

Marvin L.

“Ashlyn did a great job watching our three peis. She was very communicative and sent updates with pictures. She was able to meet all their needs including administering medication for one of them and she left the house was neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend her and would also use her again.”

About: As a military spouse, I understand how hard it is to find great care at an affordable rate and possibly the last minute. My goal is to provide love for your babies so that you may focus on whatever calls you away without any worries. I work remotely so any needs or schedules for your babies will be met promptly and to your liking. Please prepare a written list that I may follow. Things to expect when dropping off your babies: Your babies will be provided their own space within my sight at all times (until bedtime) and that space can be adjusted to fit their needs (bigger or smaller). They will be provided food, clean water, cuddles, and as much playtime as they need. If they have any special needs I will ask for written instructions and provide those needs as necessary. I can provide as much or as little communication as you prefer and make sure your babies are doing great while away.

“Where do I even begin. My family and I had to go out of town for a wedding and a funeral. We booked Alaina to stay with our English Bulldog Otis. When Alaina arrived for a meet and greet, she arrived extremely professional. She brought documents to capture, our fur babies routines, eating s Hercules, likes dislikes and all essential information. We informed her that he had developed a lesion on the side of his face in which we could not see the vet before leaving due to time constraints. Alaina immediately assessed and began building a rapport with Otis. Otis can sometimes “ jump up” when excited. She began working with him to sit and and stay, in which he felt compelled to comply. While we were gone, Alaina provided multiple updates daily, with pictures and a bio of his day, including updates on his lesion. It was to our surprise, once we entered our home, Alaina had cleaned the house, swept the living room and steps, the house looked immaculate. It was cleaner when she left than when she began house sitting for us. Her integrity and love for animals emulates immediately as soon as you meet her. I cannot say enough about this particular sitter, however if you are booking through Rover in the service area that she serves, it would be in your best interest to hire her services. We have lived in the area for 8 years and have had the need for a sitter on numerous occasions and hands down, Alaina is the best sitter we have found in the area. My husband and I will certainly be referring her services to everyone we know!! Alaina, we can’t thank you enough for the care of our sweet boy and the care of our home!! Thank you again!!”

About: I've taken care of my own pets and all of my friends and family pets. I've had almost everything from chinchillas, to guinea pigs, to leopard geckos, to a bearded dragon and of course cats and dogs! I dedicate my time to my pet care and dog training so outside of running errands and my dog training appointments, my time is pretty open! I have experience with animal handling from my various jobs involving animals such as being a dog groomer and dog trainer. I can even handle dogs who don't get along and need to be crated and rotated.

About: I've loved animals since I was a kid and have cared for many throughout my life! I was tasked with raising my family dog since she was a puppy when I was in high school, and I helped my college roommate with her puppy! I have walked/boarded many dogs and cats since moving to Virginia! Being in the military, my coworkers travel a lot so I have become the workplace's go-to "pet auntie." I genuinely love to spoil pets and providing them with a safe and homey environment while their loved ones are out! I have a fairly flexible work schedule so I can come back to my home or to your home to take care of your pet! Early morning, lunch, and evenings are especially free, so I can work around that depending on your needs. I do not own pets, so they will be here as a single child in the case they are boarded! Crates, food, litter boxes, etc will need to be provided as I don't own those things. I have access to many parks around my neighborhood, so walkability is not an issue!

“Elizabeth did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs. We will definitely ask for her help again in the future.”

About: I work at Banfield in Newport News as a vet assistant. I currently have a senior dachshund named Leo who’s great with other dogs and cats. My work schedule varies month to month. I can walk dogs or take care of pets in your home if my work schedule allows, or I can board in my house (dog friendly dogs/cats or small animals). I also have years of experience medicating dogs, cats, and small animals, and can trim nails on dogs and cats. I work 10 hour shifts, 4 days a week at Banfield. It varies each week but I do get a monthly schedule each month. I usually get my monthly schedule at the beginning of the previous month I usually take my dog out every 3-4 hours to go potty while I’m home. If your dog has a routine he/she follows, let me know and I can accommodate!

About: I, myself, own a senior dog and look after her well. I dog sit for family and friends when need be. I have also shadowed at a Veterinary office and work at one as well. I’m completely free every day until I leave for college on August 20th, so I can give your pets my full attention Monday through Sunday; walks, playtime, and all their care need I make sure that they get used to me first before jumping into caring for them. I allow them to realize I am trustworthy and here to feed them and love them.
