“Tiffany was fantastic with my pets for overnights. She sent pictures and made sure everything was taken care of. She always contacted me if she had any questions. Highly recommend!”


“I found Mackenzie when I ended up needing to find a new Dogsitter when the one I typically used had to unexpectedly cancel last minute. She was able to step in last minute and care for my 2 dogs. I am grateful for her ability to work with my large skittish white shepherd. She was able to follow the care instructions I left and stayed in contact with me during our week away. I would highly recommend her.”


“Dustin was awesome with my 2 dogs and really took the time to get to know them. He sent updates throughout the day and made sure Bailey and Roscoe got plenty of exercise. Dustin was also very clean, did not leave a mess and put everything back where it was prior to his departure. Highly recommend.”


“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful. I’m glad to have found a trustworthy sitter who is willing to care for our pet in our own home. We’ve already booked her again!”


“Lauren was amazing and took great care of our two pups. She kept us updated on them the entire time we were gone. We’ll definitely be looking to her for future care!”


“my dog Winnie at first was very nervous. Barbara took her time to help Winnie feel very safe and comfortable. By the end, Winnie loved Barbara. Barbara sent lots of photos and was very communicative throughout her time helping. She is wonderful and I highly recommend her services.”


“Mary was amazing with our anxious pup! She came and met us and our dog the week before our trip. She took the time to get to know us and all our pet’s needs. Mary sent many updates and pictures throughout her stay at our place. She was incredibly patient and kind. We can’t wait to have her watch our dog again in the future.”


About: Hello, my name is Rylie! I am such a dog lover! Although I never owned one myself, I enjoy taking care of others to fill that void. I have been dog sitting since I was about 10 years old for multiple neighbors. Many would describe me as responsible and passionate since a very young age. I even attended many dog training classes for a puppy I babysat for two years. I am excited to continue my journey of taking care of dogs and other animals and ensure that owners will have enjoy time away without any stresses. I have lots of available time throughout the day to take pets on walks, feed, and check up on. I can ensure you that your pets are my top priority. The first and last thing I do before leaving a client’s house is checking the perimeters of the house to make sure assure there were no accidents made. I make sure there’s nothing your pets can get a hold of and chew on while I am taking care of them.

About: I've been around dogs from a very young age and truly believe that there is nothing better than being with a dog. At 12 I begged my parents for a dog that I have diligently taken care of since. My love of animals inspired friends, family, and neighbors to ask me to look after their pets long before I even realized that pet sitting was a job. Wether its going on walks, sticking to a feeding schedule, or enforcing house training i treat every dog as my own. As a university student at home for the summer, my schedule is very flexible so I am available for last minute booking, daily care, or extended stays. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect as your own. I follow all routines closely (walks, feeding, etc.) to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I know how important trust is when someone inters your home, and I take that seriously.

“Liza was great! Super flexible and great communication. My dogs got into a scuffle (no fault of Liza’s whatsoever!) and she handled it great, communicated with me immediately and kept me up to date. My farm and dogs are not the easiest to handle and I was very happy with how Liza managed them all and was incredibly respectful of my home”


About: I would love to assist you in having peace of mind when you're away from your pets. I currently have one German shepherd who has working a working dog drive and obedience. Over the past years I have foster many puppies and dog with Old Dominion Human society and love providing care and comfort to all animals. I want to offer your pets the same safe, fun and loving experiance that I offer to my pets, so please allow me to come take care your pets and enjoy the amazing area that we live in Weekly I have a high drive German shepherd who required a lot of attention walking and running to give her the life style that fits her breed. This is very dependent on the client home and the level of obedience / comfort of the pet. If the pet has a secured back yard for the dog to run an play there’s many things we can do to stimulate the pet physically and mentally such as place training, fetch, scatter feeding in the yard to mentally stimulate the pet etc.

“Matisa was wonderful with our 2 dogs and 2 cats! She even stayed an extra night at last minute when we were stranded at an airport on vacation. We appreciate her willingness to be flexible!”


About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats. I offer walking, sitting, and overnight stays with lots of love and attention. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s a walk or a weekend stay, your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for! I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to plan my days around pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and overnight stays throughout the week. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them safe and comfortable. In your home, I respect your space and stick to all care instructions. At my home, pets can enjoy a large yard and a small fenced area for safe outdoor time. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“We have decided to call Sierra the dog whisperer. We arrived home to a calm puppy, clean house and relaxed kitties. Sierra was/is great with our fur babies and especially our crazy doodle. We plan to use her whenever we need a sitter.”


About: I been around dogs and cats my whole life. I been housesitting for family and friends for the last 5-6years. My grandmother’s pets are on a strict schedule, and diet therefore I understand strict diet. I’ve worked on a farm so I have experience with farm animals, small pets, and some exotic animals. In the last two years, I’ve had two sets of puppies so I know what it takes to care of puppies. My Roxy was 13 year old when we had to put her down from old age, so I know what it takes to care for a senior dog. I’m currently not working, therefore I have plenty of time to cuddle, play and care with your pets. I can send pictures and/or videos thought your vacation for peace of mind! I like taking care of pets in their own house to make them feel as safe as possible. I will follow any rules or instructions you have for your house and pets.

About: Growing up in a house with a variety of pets taught me that animals aren't just pets—they're family. With a psychology background, I use positive reinforcement to bring out the best in every dog. I'm currently caring for my two middle-aged and senior dogs who need 10 daily medications, so I understand both puppy energy and gentle senior care. As a fellow pet parent and nature lover, I know how important it is to find someone who truly gets it. Your dog will get the same love and attention mine do—because that's what they deserve. I recently left my corporate job to seek a healthier lifestyle. I am in the process of building a business which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your dogs needs at any hour. Early mornings, mid-day, late evenings and even overnight! Just reach out and we will make it work! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities in their own familiar environment. I keep your home secure with doors and windows properly locked, and I'm mindful of any specific safety concerns you've mentioned about your pet or property. I stick to your pet's exact routine—feeding times, walks, medications, everything—because I know staying consistent helps them feel secure when you're away. It's just me giving your furry friend the one-on-one attention they deserve in the comfort of their own space. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for mine. I'll handle small tasks like watering plants or bringing in mail, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it. You'll get regular photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and relaxed at home. With experience caring for my two senior dogs who need daily medications and close monitoring, I know how to spot when something's off with a pet's behavior or health. If any concerns come up, I'll contact you right away. Your pet gets the same attentive, loving care I give my own-because home is where they're most comfortable.

Tiffany K.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Tiffany Tlach for many years, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most caring and responsible people I’ve ever met—especially when it comes to animals. She has a lifelong bond with pets, having grown up with dogs and cats, and it’s clear that caring for them comes naturally to her. Whether it’s her own pets or someone else’s, she goes above and beyond to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. She’s incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely in tune with the needs of animals. I’ve seen her handle everything from playful puppies to aging senior pets with the same calm, compassionate presence. Her reliability, kindness, and deep understanding of animal behavior make her someone I would trust with any pet, any day. If you’re lucky enough to have her looking after your furry friend, you can rest easy knowing they’re in the best possible hands. Warmly, Cathy T”
Paynes Corner pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren M. was a very kind, gentle, flexible and professional. I would use her again. Most sitters are not able to get Cooper outside. He is unsure of people he doesn’t know. Lauren was successful in getting Cooper outside for potty breaks. She was also successful in getting Cooper to eat. I’m impressed! Thank you Lauren! See you the next time.
