About: I have dog watched for my neighbors every time they leave for town for multiple weeks in a row. I was responsible for walking and feeding them as well as checking on them every hour. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m available any time of day, any day of the week—including weekends. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need when you need it most. I will spend more than the minimum hours with your dog and make sure they are happy. I will play with them and run with them if needed. I will be respectful of your house and make sure everything stays organized and neat.

“Celeste is a life saver. She jumped in when my normal walker had a kidney transplant.”


“Isa saved my butt doing a last minute walk when my other sitter just didn’t show up. She has always been very responsive and flexible. We appreciate her so much!”


“Keri was so great with our boys! From first meeting her they were so comfortable and welcomed her. This allowed me to feel totally at ease while away. Our dog Oakley is prone to seizures and isn’t always the most welcoming but he loved Keri from when he first met her. Will definitely be rebooking in the future 😊♥️”


About: With over 5 years of experience handling small to medium dogs, I've provided expert care through regular walks, feeding, grooming, and pet sitting for family friends. My passion for animals ensures they receive personal attention, comfort, and love, whether it's during daily routines or when they need a trusted sitter while their owners are away ! As a full-time graduate student, pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to balance my academic responsibilities with my love for walking outdoors. Since I’m new to Lynchburg, it’s a great way to explore the community while giving dogs the care and attention they need. I’m available evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, with added flexibility on Wednesdays and Fridays, making it easy to adjust to your pet’s needs! I currently live in an apartment, which provides a great space to walk dogs outdoors. In the past, I've pet-sat in clients' homes, always respecting their space and following specific instructions to ensure their pets receive the best care. Although I don’t have any pets of my own after losing my dog two years ago, I approach each pet with the same love and attention I would for my own, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.

“My baby “Chuck Norris” love’s Barbora. Thank you for making him feel comfortable and safe around his new surroundings. He’s starting to come out of his shell and show his personality 🐾💕”


“Madelyn was so helpful with our last minute booking! She was kind to talk to and took excellent care of our fur baby.”


About: I have grown up taking care of my neighbor's dogs and helping find my mom's current dog at various shelters. I enjoy taking care of all dogs and making sure they are the happiest pups in the world!! I work from home and am generally free so I can take care of your little doggies as long as I have a 3 day notice. I look forward to meeting your dog and making sure they feel loved and taken care of! I will have a fence very soon, but have an awesome home and an awesome neighborhood for walks with plenty of friendly dogs nearby for your dog to play with!

About: Hey there – my name is Angie, and I’ve taken care of dogs 🐶most of my life. I am an experienced dog/cat owner who you can trust to take amazing care of your pet.❤️ I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with your pet. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I have a YorkiePoo of my own and would love to have more dogs but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover to love on other pets. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My 13 year old son also helps me out on occasion because he wanted a way to earn some extra money 😊 I have a very flexible job so I am able to spend as much time with your pet as you'd like me to. I am also able to visit several times throughout the day if the need is there. My job allows me to work from anywhere so if a longer visit for companionship is needed I am happy to do that. I am happy to take your pet for a walk if that's what they are used to or spend some time with them letting them run around your yard. If they just need some company and some love for a bit then I am happy to just sit with them for a while and remind them that they are loved.

About: I’ve taken care of a couple of dogs in this area while people are on holiday leave or vacations. I enjoy dogs so much! I always had dogs growing up around the house and they are truly a man’s best friend! I currently work full-time during the day with a hybrid type work schedule that allows me to work from home part of the time. I have availability in the evenings and mostly weekends to be able to pet sit! The precaution of using a leash and making sure I am aware of using that for every single walk is crucial for safety on walks. I want to be able to care for your home well and lock up every time I come and go. I would most definitely ask for specific requests for your animals such as feeding time, when they need to go out, how often for walks to your specific liking.

About: I have loved, and taken care of my own and other’s furry, feathery and scaly friends for many years, including rescue of domestic and wild animals. I absolutely love spending time with dogs, cats and every animal! I am so thankful for the honor and privilege to be able to do so. I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet and spend time with your precious, furry, feathery or scaly best friends. Let’s set up a meet and greet! …Or even a bit of time before my drop-in will do, so we all can get to know each other. Once a visit is scheduled, I will drop in to enrich your pup’s or cat’s day with love, playful exercise, feeding , refreshing their water, affection, talks, walks, car rides at your request, dog park visits, and even a bath upon request . I will take pride in providing your furry family member with the exact loving safety, care and protection customized by YOU, their parent. Often our pet needs are due to travel. Please let me know if you’d like any packages on your doorstep to be brought in and don’t hesitate to ask if you would like me to give your plants a drink while I’m there.🐾- 📦-💦 🪴

About: I’ve had dogs most of my adult life and they are my children. Your fur baby will live like a king/queen during their time with me. I will have play time, snuggles, and walks. I work from home so it’s easy to take care of your fur baby. They will have most of my attention and I walk five times I live in a great neighborhood and everyone is out walking. If your animal sleeps with you, then they will sleep with me. Anything I can do so your furry friend feels at home.

About: Hi there! I’ve been a dedicated Rover sitter for over 7 years, I started out with overnight stays and enjoyed building trusted relationships with wonderful families. Since then, my life has evolved—I’m now in school, happily married, and proud momma. Because of these changes, I’ve transitioned to offering dog walks and check-ins, which allow me to provide quality care while fitting into my busy schedule. I love spending time outdoors, especially at Blackwater Creek Trail—it's my family’s favorite daily outing, and I’d be delighted to walk your dog there too! My ideal clients are pet owners whose dogs are good with kids and enjoy playful, friendly interactions. I understand the importance of reliable, loving care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s a quick walk or a check-in, I am committed to providing attentive, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! During a stay, you can be at ease knowing that I prioritize your pet and your home. I currently offer check ins and walks throughout the day. I do not accept overnight stays at this time. I love to take my rover pups to walk trails. However, I will always honor your wishes, so if you are not comfortable with that, Fido and I will seek adventure in your neighborhood!

About: I’ve had dogs from childhood up to now as a college student. I had experience taking care of my second dog once he was a senior and needed extra care. And additional experience working with two vet clinics. Currently working on and off until June 22, when I will move to a full time job. Mostly free every day up until early evening until that date I can easily walk your dog anywhere you’d like me to for as short or long as needed. I’m always aware of surroundings and will always ensure safety of your dog. I will make sure to keep the dog entertained and safe if you’re looking for someone to look in on them. And if desired, will keep contact with you with updates. I am more than happy to look after your doggo!

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for nine years. I’ve also walked dogs at the Lynchburg Humane Society for years, and petsitted for and walked many others over the years. I’m available all summer thru mid August for pet walking/sitting. I’m very flexible due to my part-time work and am always open to last-minute requests! I have years of experience pet sitting within owners’ homes and am willing to accommodate whatever needs they have for their own home and their pets. I adore animals and have enough experience caring for them to be confident I can provide a positive experience for everyone involved.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 years old and probably younger! I was always fascinated by animals and wanted to help my parents in anyway with our pets. I helped train all our dogs and trained my own dog all my own since she was a puppy. I’ve dealt with all the puppy stage antics to all the grumpy senior dogs! I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember and rescued my own cat a year ago. I know all about the troublesome kitten phases to the aloof senior kitties. I’ve had my own experience in giving medications to all ages of dogs and cats. I am also in school to be a licensed veterinary technician so I have some skills in that field as well. I’ve also owned all kinds of other animals from turtles, hamsters, Guinea pigs and mice to fish and rabbits and reptiles as well. I really just love all animals and would treat your pets as my own! I currently work part time so my schedule changes week to week but I’d still have plenty of time to visit and walk pups of all kinds or go play and check on kitties or other animals. My pets in my home are very spoiled and loved. I have a 1 year old cat and a rescued leopard gecko! Back home with my parents are my 2 family dogs who I helped raise and 2 turtles! In a clients home I would treat your pets as if they are my own and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of! I would make sure they are safe and stay in the home so no pet gets loose!

Katevonni S.
“Katevonni has been a wonderful part of my families lives for many years, providing exceptional care for our family's pets. She’s always been flexible with her time and willing to step in on short notice, which has been such a relief. Every time our dogs saw her, their tails would start wagging with excitement—you could clearly see how happy they were to be around her. That kind of reaction told me everything I needed to know. When we’re not home, I have full confidence that our dogs are not just being looked after, but genuinely loved, played with, and cared for as if they were her own. That’s all we could ever ask for. I completely trust Katevonni in our home and with any future pet sitting. I hope others take a chance on her like we did so many years ago—because she’s more than just a pet sitter now, she’s become a family friend. She’s fantastic at what she does, and I know any pet in her care will receive nothing but the very best.”
