“Sam was great at communication and adjusting to my schedule when I was out of town. Sam took great care of my cat and made me feel so much better about leaving her for two weeks! Thanks Sam!”

Nice yard and place to walk pet and let them out for bathroom breaks ❤️

About: Hello! I love all types of pets and currently have two dogs of my own. I am a student at Virginia-Maryland college of veterinary medicine trying to earn some extra money by doing what I love, playing with pets. I have experience with all types of pets at varying sizes and personalities. During my undergraduate career, I raised two Seeing Eye Dogs and helped other raisers with training. During this time, I worked at a veterinary hospital, participated in animal specific events like vaccination clinics, and groomed. From healthy puppies and kittens to seniors who need medication, I have seen it all and am prepared to help with whatever your pet needs. I hope I can meet your fur babies and shower them with love while you’re away. I offer additional grooming services, ask about them if your interested. As someone who owns two dogs, pet care is a priority in my life. Both of my pups get plenty of one-on-one time as well as long walks and enrichment in the house. During the day, the pups are crated while I am at school, but if my boyfriend is off of work they get to run around and play. As soon as I get home the dogs get taken out and fed. Along with daily care, I take care of all of their grooming and medical needs as well. I currently live in apartment complex which has a dog play area for your furry friends to get plenty of exercise. There is also a trail connected to the complex which will be utilized for long walks and plenty of sniffing opportunities. Both of my pups are very friendly and would be happy to be your pet’s playmate during their stay.

About: I’ve helped my mom pet sit her German shepherd for a year and I handled it well. I learned how to feed him properly and took care of him responsibly. I will be mostly available in the afternoon. Once school start, I will be mostly available during the weekends. Feel free to check with me on availability otherwise. I make sure to walk my dog at least three times a day and feed him the right amount of food at least two times a day. I will make sure to respect others when taking him outside and stop any improper behavior in time. I regularly buy him treats and toys.

“James was a great sitter for our dog, Teddy. He followed all of our care instructions, kept us updated with photos, and made sure Teddy had everything he needed while we were away. When we got home, Teddy was calm, relaxed, and settled right back into his routine. We’d be happy to book with James again.”


“Kaylie’s been doing drop in visits for our new puppy and she’s been great to work with! Always on time and always accommodating to any last minute changes we may have. I have no doubt your pet will be in good hands with Kaylie.”


“Marquesa was awesome, the cats really enjoyed her company, and she was so good. We have a three-legged cat and Marquesa helped keep her clean and give the other one meds. She was so kind, helpful, responsive and professional. Would absolutely have her watch our cats again.”


About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages and understand how to meet their unique needs! Whether it’s a playful puppy in training stages or supporting a senior pup with extra love and patience. I’m dependable, caring, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and have had experience taking care of my own 4 pups! Along with sitting for family and friends over the years. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I currently have a part-time job at Montgomery hospital and attend Radford University during the school year, but I still have plenty of availability outside of classes. A majority of my classes are done by 11 am. And Wednesdays are my busiest/fullest days. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, and I’m great at balancing my responsibilities while making sure pets get the attention and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their usual routines to help the pet feel safe and comfortable. I give lots of attention, playtime, and care, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions! Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite walking routes. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m originally from Charlottesville, Virginia, and currently a full-time undergraduate student at Virginia Tech living in Blacksburg. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a calm senior dog, I pride myself on providing attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m here to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working full time during the summer here in Charlottesville. However I’m free for walks before 9am and my work day is over at 5:30. I prioritize safety by keeping a clean, pet-friendly environment and following each pet’s routine closely. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure secure spaces, constant supervision, and lots of love and attention to build trust and keep your pet comfortable.

About: My name is Anna-Scott and I love animals. I have fostered in the past and walk dogs/socialize cats for the local animal shelter. I love spending time will all furry friends and taking care of them. I hope to meet your pets soon and provide them the best care 💖🦴🐶 I currently am a full time grad student so my schedule is extremely flexible. I can spend most of my time taking care of your pet. I enjoy going on long walks and can satisfy your dogs needs. I personally use a positive reinforcement training program but will follow whatever training protocol you use and I will follow your individual schedule of care.

About: I’ve had several pets in my household ever since I was young. I’ve always taken care of them, and have been relied on to pet sit for neighbors, family, and friends. I’ve also trained each of my pups in the house, such as the commands sit, lay down, stay, come, paw, roll over, and many more. One of my favorite experiences was taking care of a house full of pets for about a week that consisted of 9 cats, 5 dogs, and even a rabbit! I’m a full time student at Virginia tech and can care for your pets anytime I’m not in class! Lots of my classes are online. I can guarantee a safe environment for your furry friends. I’ve had plenty of experience with dog walking, even the most aggressive of dogs. I’m able to secure your pet in a crate if needed, and any other safety measures you may need!

About: I was responsible for caring for my childhood senior dog. She was a small chihuahua mix that I was responsible for walking, feeding and giving oral medications. I also cared for a family friend’s two German Shorthaired Pointer’s for a week. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, crating and administering oral medications! I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to check-in on pets during the morning and evening. However, I can provide longer check-ins during the weekend and have no standing/recurring commitments during the weekend. As someone who has owned pets before, I am well aware of the safety precautions needed. I make sure that my home is pet-proof by making sure my plants are out of reach and any dangerous chemicals. I also have experience with crating dogs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since middle school and have over 7 years of experience with pups and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a landscape architecture student at Virginia Tech, I love spending time outside and staying active—whether that means long walks, hikes, or just backyard playtime. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I treat every animal with patience, joy, and genuine care. I currently take classes from 8 in the morning until 12 pm, so I am available from 6-7am and 1-6pm M-F and 10am-5pm Saturday and Sunday! I do my best to make your pet feel comfy and cared for, whether I’m hanging out at your place or taking them for a walk. I’ll follow whatever routine you’ve got and use whatever leash or gear you prefer. If your pup needs to be crated at certain times, I’ve got no problem with that—and I’ll make sure they’re settled and relaxed. I’m also comfortable giving meds if needed, just let me know the details :)

About: I’ve looked after my neighborhood pets since I was 13. I’ve primarily cared for dogs and cats, but I’ve also looked after hermit crabs, a bearded dragon, fish, and canaries. I’ve looked after all different kinds of dogs of all different ages. I have experience with both crate trained and free-roaming dogs as well. Owners trust me to make sure water bowls are always full, follow their usual feeding times as best as I can, have nice walks outside, as well as spend some time playing before I head out. I am back home from college for the summer looking for a part-time job, so my days are mostly free to look after your pets! When visiting your pet at your home, I’d give them time to get used to my scent. I’m comfortable with both crate trained pets and free roaming pets. I take this position very seriously and will take the best care of your pets while you’re away!

“Rosalee is the best! She took a great care of my dog Bailey, and was very willing last minute to help me out when I had to go away and Bailey had an injury and couldn’t go anywhere. She took really good care of her. Thank you Rosalee!”


“Laura was able to work us into her schedule last minute. It was our very first time leaving our two puppies overnight and I was anxious, but everything went super smoothly! The two puppies and our older dog took to her immediately. She left us detailed notes and photos that put my mind at ease and even stayed extra long to make sure the pups were empty before going back into their crate! No accidents at all! Thank you Laura!! :)”


“Brittany is an amazing pet sitter!! I was a bit anxious as this was my first time booking on Rover, but she was so kind and understanding and answered all of my questions right away. She was so gentle and sweet with my kitties, and took wonderful care of them. Always on time and super responsive. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! ?”


“Emily was fantastic! She was very loving of the boys from the start, and during the stay she was punctual and organized. We received updates and pictures with each visit, and came home to happy boys (except that I think they missed her!). Will definitely book again :)”


About: I am offering house sitting, pet sitting, and dog walking services. I have taken care of dogs and other animals for a large part of my life, including caring for senior dogs and training puppies. I currently have one pup living with me. He is a large breed dog that I have raised since he was 8 weeks old and gone through successful training with. Though I do have a job, I am available for walking services in the evenings and am able to do drop in visits in the early morning, mid-day, and evenings. I have a much more open schedule during the weekends, so I am available for boarding, multiple drop- in visits per day, and multiple walks per day. I am available for long term boarding for vacations or time you think you may be out of town, as long as you are comfortable. Just reach out for any questions or concerns! I have a very playful pup at home to keep your fur baby company and entertained through the day. I am able to easily crate animals. In your own home I will ensure to follow all instructions to a T and accommodate for any additional needs your babies may have.

Amberly B.
“I’ve known Amberly since I was six years old, and she’s always been one of the most caring and dependable people in my life. Last summer, she watched my family’s three dogs for a week, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Two of my dogs are older and needed a bit of extra help, she changed their reusable diapers and even made sure to wash them at night so they’d be clean and ready for the next day. She also took care of our cats, cleaned the litter boxes, and fed them right on schedule. She didn’t just come over and do her duties and leave, she stayed with them and kept them company. I completely trust Amberly with my pets and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who’s not just responsible, but truly kind and thoughtful too.”


Dayna Gael W.
“Dayna is an extremely kind and gentle person!! She’s been my go-to cat sitter for the past two years and I trust her a lot. I get regular updates and my cat is always excited to see her. She takes the time to keep him company. Dayna also takes better care of my plants than I do, which is much appreciated!! 😂”
