House Sitting in Powcan

“Briar did an excellent job bonding with my shy spaniel Lita, and what’s more, she managed to help Lita feel safe and entertained with outings and car rides. I’ll certainly rely on her services the next time I have to go out of town.”

About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay. My dog has a strict routine as I believe taking care of pers works better with a specific schedule. He wakes up, gets fed, gets taken out, is given treats, among everything else at the same time. Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.

“Linda was a fantastic sitter for Shadow and we will definitely use her again when we travel. She kept us very well informed and sent pictures daily. She even washed the sheets and towels used which was an added surprise. It was great to travel worry free with Linda’s care of our girl. Highly recommended and appreciated.”

“Randi took very good care of my dog Penny. She went above and beyond for her. Randi was quick to respond to any questions I asked her and was great about sending pictures and updates of how Penny was doing. I know I will use her again.”

About: I am open to caring for any and all pets. As someone who currently has 3 Great Pyrenees, an Austrian Kelpie puppy, and other pets, I am experienced in all areas and types. I have open availability to care for pets. I work for myself so build my schedule around jobs and appointments as needed. I am very flexible with accommodations so please reach out if you have any questions. I do not offer overnight in home care at the moment due to all of my pets at home but will gladly stay at your home with your pet. I can send pictures and videos of your pet to you and don't mind cameras in the home so you can drop in any time and see your fur and/or scaly baby.

About: I have experience with all animal types including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds, pocket pets and some reptiles. I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs and 3 cats, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your pets and their needs while you are working, vacationing, etc. I can care for pets early before work, mid-day and late after work. On weekends my schedule can be more flexible depending on what activities I have going on. Any dogs that come into my home will be treated as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. Boarding dogs will have their own room to hang out in.

About: I’ve had plenty of dogs my entire life as well as taken care of friends and families dogs. Overnight, check ins or walking. I love walking dogs especially and playing with all animals. I will provide a safe, caring, and loving environment for your pets so you’re worry free while away from them! Currently between jobs and am a full time online college student. So I am pretty flexible!! If something doesn’t work i’ll just make that clear but I do not have many scheduled things in my day to day. I don’t mind doing feeding, walking, play time! Also don’t mind light clean up if they make a mess while you are gone. My dogs are kind of crazy so I understand messes happen! My dogs have an open back yard but if your dog is trained to walk I will be happy to take them out that way. My dogs get plenty of play time mainly with each other but i’ve done plenty of play time with them myself and can incorporate that with you dogs if they require play time! I also have dealt with older and sick dogs so I know how to be gentle and handle that. I have also had my own cat and watched others, I adore cats. Mine was sick for a while so i’m familiar with oral medication for cats and soothing cats’ anxieties as mine suffered heavily from unknown anxiety.

“We missed our dogs terribly while away on vacation, but never once were we worried about how they were at home. Carson kept us updated with daily pictures or notes about how they were doing. It was clear how much they immediately took to him and how happy they were with him around. And on top of that, he took some incredible action shots of our dog flipping for the frisbee, which he threw for her each day the sun was shining. We are extremely grateful for the wonderful care Carson gave our dogs and the peace of mind he gave us while traveling. Absolutely recommend him and will hopefully work with him again in the future!”

“Charlotte was amazing with the dogs and shared all the information with us that we needed and little updates with the pups while we were gone.”

“Rebecca was amazing! She met our two dogs a week before we left for our trip - something that definitely makes us feel confident in our pick, especially as we have an anxious pup and a bigger pit mix. Rebecca kept us updated throughout her stay with our girls, sending plenty of pics and videos to let us know what love fest we were missing!”

“Absolutely amazing with the dogs. Kept us up to date with them and went above and beyond. Would recommend to anyone! Will definitely be hiring again.”

“Caitlynn took great care of our two pups while we were away! My one senior dog needed some special attention and meds while we were gone. Caitlynn followed all my instructions and both pups seemed happy when we returned. Her communication was prompt and she included pictures. Can’t thank her enough for staying with our sweet pups!”

Julie M.

“Helena was absolutely AMAZING!!! This was our first time using Rover and the first time we left our dog overnight. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the time we were gone, showing just how relaxed and happy our dog was in her care. When he whined about sleeping in his crate, she kindly let him share the bed with her (with our approval, of course!). He even seemed disappointed when we came home 😉. We cannot recommend Helena more highly!!”

Linda M.

“Christina is fantastic! Quick to respond and very friendly. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated during the visit. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs for a few years looking to get more clients through the app. I have a genuine love for dogs of all sizes and kinds.I especially love playing with dogs so energetic dogs are not a problem at all I am currently working weekday mornings until 11 am but any time after that or on the weekends your pets are my number one priority. Upon arrival I will make sure all dogs have water food if requested by owner. Play with the dog outside or walk for a little while.

“This was our first time with Rover, and I could not have asked for a better sitter for our dogs and house. Rochelle made a real and true bond with our two dogs. She made a personal connection with our pups. I want to emphasize that she really cared. Rochelle sent us daily pictures and videos that brought so many smiles to our faces while we were away. Her care took away our separation anxieties. This allowed to relax and enjoy our trip rather worry about how things were at home. If I could give Rochelle more than 5 stars, I would do that.”

“Chelsea is an amazing and professional dog sitter. She made the extra effort to gain our rescue dog’s trust before we left town with get to know visits. While we were gone she gave regular updates and photos. I always felt confident and secure leaving our dogs in her care. She is transparent and trustworthy. My dogs were secure and happy on our return.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and cats and when I was eight years old, I started riding horses. I’ve loved animals in my entire life and work at a shelter. My mom also did pet sitting through Rover and I have helped with my whole life too. I am currently working two part-time jobs and I am in school, but I only work weekends and 440 7:55 AM on Tuesday and Thursdays and only go to school 9 to 4 a couple times a week so I will have tons of time with your fur babies! I have worked with dogs and cats my whole life and am I very trustworthy honest person. I have handled tons of different types of animals and I know how to do most things that would be needed. I’m good at following instructions and sending tons of pictures because I grew up helping my mom with her dog business!

“Ada stayed overnight at my house with Bailey. She did an excellent job. Bailey loved her. She walked Bailey in the neighborhood and cuddled with her...No wonder Bailey loves her. She also left my house very nice and clean after staying there for 5 days. I will definitely call her again when Bailey needs a sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets before including dogs, cats, and birds. I love animals and have 2 cats of my own. I have also house/pet sit for my family and many family friends in the neighborhood I grew up in. I’m currently doing school and working a part time job, however my schedule is very flexible outside of that, I usually have free time in the mornings and evenings I have 2 cats and play with them every day, they are indoor cats but love going outside. When I dog sit for my family and family friends, they let me stay at their house most of the time. I take the dog(s) on long walks (if needed) 3/4 times a day and spend as much time as I can with them. I never put the dog(s) in their crates when I’m at the house and usually let the dog(s) sleep with me.
