House Sitting in Pilot

“I was amazed at how quickly Chauncey (our rescue dachsshnd) warmed up the Nancye. She has this innate ability to know a dog and his needs, placing that as top priority. She texted with pictures often, I left home for a much needed few days away without a worry at all. HIGHLY recommend and feel sure we'll want Nancye to pet/house sit for us again--SOON!”

“Gracie is wonderful! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors, and made sure our dogs had a good time while we were away. She sent lots of pictures so we would know they were in good hands and we’ll definitely have her back again.”

“We just moved to the area and put our trust in Shelby to take care of our older dog. She did not disappoint and longingly cared for our dog and home. Thanks for loving our Bodie!”

Becky E.

“Kelly is fantastic! Our puppy had so many great walks and was well taken care of by her. The cat was happy too! (I mean as happy as a cat can be…) Our house was neat as a pin and she was extremely responsive and absolutely wonderful! We will call on her again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Don and Rachel W.

“Denise took fantastic care of Frankie and was great with communications both before and during my trip! She went above and beyond to make sure she left the house in good shape as well. We will absolutely have her back!”

Alyssa W.

“Ava did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of town for 5 days. Excellent communication and courteous. Will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”

Morgan B.

“Another fantastic experience with Kennedy! She communicated often and kept us updated regularly, and Scout had a great time with her new friend! Thanks, Kennedy!”

“Haley was wonderful with our pets, home, and in her communication with us! We were comforted by her understanding of German Shepherd behavior characteristics. We wish she were staying in the area because we would definitely book Hayley again.”

About: I've had many animals in my household ever since I can remember, and I know first-hand how our four-legged friends need to be cared for as members of the family. It's important to give pets the love and care they need, and I will ensure your animal(s) are properly tended to during your family's absence! I care for pets in between classes, during my free time, and at night for house sitting! I have a lot of evening and morning availability, and I'm free on most weekends. I've had experience caring for small, medium, and big dogs, along with cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even a bearded dragon. I ensure they are all fed and taken outside (if needed) under a consistent schedule. Also, don't worry about them being alone and bored, as I absolutely LOVE playing and being with any animals!

“The somewhat desperate feeling of having your dog’s boarding plan fall through lands you on Rover.com just days before you’re supposed to leave town. This is not where I wanted to be – having to let a stranger watch my home and dog, handing over the keys and saying prayers. Instead, I said a prayer first, and I landed on the smiling face of Deann. She was an angel! Confident, prepared, kind, experienced, the list of good qualities goes on and on. I immediately felt at ease and our dog took to her as soon as she walked in our door for our introduction. Deann took pictures, communicated, and provided text updates at least once a day and I stopped worrying. That’s maybe the best compliment I can post here – I stopped worrying and had a great time on our trip because Deann had it completely under control.”

About: Hello! My name is Hayley and I am an animal lover of all kinds. I had a chihuahua for 14.5 years until I had to say goodbye to him in august of 2024. Since then I have found joy in helping others take care of their furry family members. My Pedro was special needs so I am comfortable giving meds or helping with disabled animals as well. I promise to take care of your babies just like they are my own! Same day bookings and short notice bookings will be dependent on my full time work schedule as I work 3 twelve hour night shifts a week but please always reach out as I may be available! I am also willing to pet sitting for other animals like chickens, hedgehogs, etc. Just ask!! I am a full time night shift nurse so my schedule is crazy but allows me to spend the days with your pet. I am also able to get several days in a row off and spend 24/7 with your pet, if scheduled within enough time! If selected, I would treat your baby as if they are my own and would go above abd beyond in caring for them. I am unable to bring pets to my home but am more than happy to care for them in the comfort of their own homes.

“Carley was phenomenal! During our meet and greet she took the time to learn what Camden is like and how best to take care of him. In her updates is was obvious Camden was having a good time and she has him out sunning with his favorite toy multiple times. He was very happy when I got back. I could not reccomend Carley more!”

Debra

“Madison did great staying with Copper while I was out of town! She sent pictures with updates, responded quickly, and followed our typical schedule to make sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention. I already booked her again for another overnight stay!”

About: I love dogs and have cared for my own dogs, family pets and friend’s pets, my whole life. I currently have several happy clients in my area and I am looking to expand my business. I am an active person that walks between 4-9mi a day and I’d love to have your dog/s join me! I can provide reliable services for your dog/s including drop-ins, long walks and overnight stays. I love to give belly rubs and snuggles. I can administer medications and currently provide occasional care for a senior dog that is deaf and mostly blind. I am happy to include pet care for other pets on-site, when appropriate; cats, fish, ferrets, parrots, lizards, rabbits, etc. Relax and let me help you with your dog!

About: While most of my experience is with cats, I am also comfortable caring for small to medium dogs and following clear routines and care instructions. I have volunteered as a dog walker with a local adoption agency in Northern Virginia, helping socialize dogs and prepare them for adoption events. I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide morning, midday, and evening care. I prioritize maintaining your pet's established routine and can accommodate overnight stays or drop-in visits throughout the week. I care for pets in their own home to maintain comfort and minimize stress. I follow established routines closely and will keep all spaces clean. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel relieved and confident that their pets are happy and healthy. I make sure to include as much playtime as well as care time as much as possible.

About: I love caring for all animals. I do have previous experience taking care of puppies as well but am willing to look after all ages. I have large breaks in my days between and after my classes so I am always available to help whenever needed. I am also available all day on weekends if necessary. I will follow the instructions left for me closely and will give them all the love and attention they need to be happy. I will treat your just the same as if they were my own.

“Justice was absolutely fabulous with our two dogs and cat. We know that she took great care of them because when we returned from our trip, they were relaxed and happy. She sent us some pictures and answered every time I sent a message. We would recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: I’m an experienced cat sitter and foster caregiver with a passion for helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently foster two cats and have two of my own, and over the years I’ve cared for and socialized more than 40 cats and kittens. I’ve currently work for a non-profit rescue called Forgotten Animal Rescue and work closely with local shelters on TNR programs and adoptions, gaining hands-on experience with shy or nervous cats and helping them become comfortable around humans. Whether it’s daily care, administering medications, or offering extra love and attention, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I have a consistent daily routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m available to check in, feed, and play with cats multiple times a day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings during weekends and anytime after before 8 am or after 5pm on weekdays. Because I foster cats and have my own at home, caring for pets is naturally built into my day, and I can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of each pet I sit. I prioritize a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure the space is secure, clean, and free from hazards, with plenty of cozy spots for pets to relax. I handle all pets gently and patiently, especially those who may be nervous or shy, giving them time to adjust and feel comfortable.

“Vanda did a great job with our boy! She sent tons of pictures and videos showing us that he was having a blast. Our boy felt so loved. I would definitely recommend Vanda to anyone who wants their dog to be loved and get lots of playtime!”
