“I would rather not leave this review but I will…because Jon is JUST THAT GOOD!!!! We can’t say enough good stuff about him! He walked the girls and played with them a lot! Tons of pictures! They have been resting up from all the fun doggy camp counselor Jon provided since we got home yesterday! Thank you Jon!”

About: I have tons of experience with pet care . I’ve been working with dogs for about a year now. I’ve developed skills in feeding and grooming. I’m knowledgeable about different pet needs, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention and care. I’m currently working part-time, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on weekends and weekdays. Flexible with times during the days. I would provide a loving and safe environment. My approach includes regular feeding schedules, plenty of playtime, and daily walks to keep them active and engaged. I play close attention to each pets individual needs. And of course always ready to give them lots of love and attention!
“Taylor was amazing! I reached out to Taylor last minute for a few nights of house sitting with our zoo. Our dogs all have different personalities but she made sure to cater to them all. I am so glad I found her as she was extremely accommodating and made sure to keep me updated throughout my trip away from home.”

“Charley took excellent care of our boys! When we came home, I think they were disappointed to see us instead of her! She treated our home with the utmost respect and we couldn’t ask for anything more! We’ve already booked our next request with her and will absolutely continue using her when our boys need a buddy to hang out with.”

“Tyler was excellent! Sent lots of photos of both dogs. He was super attentive to one of my dog's health needs which was greatly appreciated. Left the house in great condition. I'll definitely be using Tyler again!”

“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job house sitting and looking after our 3 animals while we were away for a week!! She provided daily updates and the best photos of all the pets. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Larry is a perfect dog & house sitter! While we were on vacation for 8 days/7 nights, he stayed at our home and took very good care of everything. The dogs were happy, the house was clean, mail & packages (a lot of them!) were brought inside, and he kept me connected along the way with daily texts & pics. He is a keeper, will be using his services again!”

“Arianna stayed with our dog over Thanksgiving weekend. She was great at updating us and giving Casper his medications and sticking with his schedule. Highly recommend her for all your pet needs 😊”

“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Brooke is responsive and nice! She did a great job taking care of our girl, Sadie Mae. my only feedback to her would be to send more updates with pictures too! 5 star service besides that, thanks Brooke.”

“Skipper did an excellent job. I am so thankful he came and took such good care of my cats. The automatic feeder has a gel pack to keep out moisture broke and dispersed into the food. It was the perfect example of why even with an automatic feeder it is important to have someone check on the animals. Skipper provided excellent communication and updates.”

About: I have cared for many pets in various neighborhoods of the local area. I provide basic needs and go above and beyond to make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I work full-time and will have time to care for pets in the mornings before work and anfternoons after work. I will still make an effort to ensure your pet sticks to their normal routine as close as possible. I require a meet and greet with the pets in their home (to prevent any territorial issues) before the service for any new clients. My current living situation prevents me from hosting pets in my own home, but I ensure the pet is safe and well taken care of in their home, following the care instructions left by the family.
“Marcia was fantastic! She arrived promptly for our meet and greet, took notes, sent pictures throughout our weekend trip, and helped manage a Rover error. I really appreciated the pictures, Marcia's enthusiasm, and perfect implementation (plus some!)”
“We had the BEST experience with Loren watching our dogs! She watched our two golden retrievers and even brought her own golden over during the day so they could all play together. Our boys loved it! She kept us updated, took great care of everyone, and treated our house like it was her own. She sent lots of cute pictures too. Highly recommend Loren and will definitely use her again in the future🤩”

About: As a biology teacher, rescue worker, and pet lover I have experience caring for animals that some people have never heard of! We currently have a bearded dragon, a musk turtle, a Catahoula mix dog, and a number of fish. I love them all, and I’ll show your pets the same care and attention that I do mine. I am a full time school teacher and mother of three. If you’d like your dog socialized, I can provide socialization. If they need snuggles, snuggles abound here. If you have more than just dogs, we can talk about that, too! I know how hard it is to find people willing to care for critters that need live food, insects, a bit of hard work and more, so I'm willing to help where needed. As long as you can provide instructions, I'm willing to learn some new things too. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends during the school year and all day every day (as long as I’m not on vacation) during the summer. Just let me know what you need! I have a fenced in yard and a dog-friendly large dog. My children are well trained in how to approach and introduce themselves to new pets.
Powhatan pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time leaving our 8 dog crew with Larry. We really enjoyed all the photos and videos of our dogs which clearly showed they were being well cared for. The pics and videos made us miss our pups SO much but we really appreciated them. I would recommend Larry for your dogsitting needs. Communication was very consistent!
