“So happy with the care and time Maggie provided our pup! She will definitely be the one we contact any time we need someone! Ps:she takes amazing photos and you can just tell how happy our pup was with her!”


“Christin was fantastic with my dog and her work ethic. She showed up promptly and reliably, I loved that she wanted to greet my dog beforehand, and she was easy to work with. The pictures she sent me of my dog were great. I highly recommend her! Would definitely use her again the next time I need to go out of town.”


“Brad did an outstanding job with caring for our fur baby Rocky. We were away for almost a week and he made sure to give him a little extra care and comfort to make sure Rocky felt loved and cared for. He took him on extra long walks and made sure to connect with him on each visit. Highly highly recommend him and will definitely request again!”


“If your Rover search has brought you to Keri, look no further!! We hired Keri to drop in on our pups a handful of times over the course of a weekend and she was absolutely amazing. From her excellent communication with us, prompt timing to each visit, the love she showed our dogs, the pictures and reports we got from each visit and her willingness to go above and beyond to make sure they didn’t get into things they shouldn’t while we were away. She gave us a peace of mind we’ve never had on vacation knowing our pups were being well cared for. We will definitely hire her again for our next trip!! I’m convinced the dogs miss her already! Thank you so much Keri!”


“Caitlin did a great job watching our dog, Oakley. Updated us everytime she stopped by and was great with her. Would definitely recommend and will use her again if we go on another trip.”


“Barbora was amazing!!! Very caring and attentive! My Chuck is still getting use to his surroundings and she was just so gentle with him. I greatly appreciate her! 🐾”


“Emily was absolutely amazing and she took excellent care of our doggies 👌 she managed all the medications my senior dog needed and I did not have to stress if he is OK, because I knew he was in a good hands ☺️ will def use Emily as a sitter for our future trips ☺️ thank you! 🫶”


“Celeste was wonderful. Took super care of Izabella and sent the cutest picture.”


“This is the 2nd time we have used Caroline to watch our 4 legged baby and she was absolutely excellent! I always feel comfortable when she is watching over him. Caroline keeps up great communication with me and I am confident that Rhett is well loved and taken care of while we are out of town. We will definitely be booking Caroline again in the future!”


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: My love for animals all started when I was eight and took care of a family friend's cats. Since then, I have gained experience with animals of all types and sizes. In addition to our family dog, I adopted a rabbit of my own who was my pride and joy for six years before succumbing to a hereditary health issue. I also have taken horse lessons, and I currently volunteer with a nearby animal shelter as a dog walker and socializer. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds, and I look forward to offering your pet the best care it can get. I am currently working remotely, so pet care will be sprinkled throughout my daily routine. Because my schedule is spaced out and very flexible, I will be able to visit your pet as many times as needed throughout the day (or even stay at the house while working if asked) to ensure that they are getting the quality care and attention they need. I work with my clients to give both them and their pets the best possible experience. Prior to hire, I am happy (and in fact, prefer) to have a free 15-30 minute consultation to familiarize myself to the pet and discuss any care specifics that the client may have. Because my care is individualized and will conform to the owner's wishes, I love to send pictures and videos throughout the day of the pet's activities and any extra-cute moments. I make it a habit to send short write-ups of the day and the pet's activities that day so that my clients feel as connected as possible to their pets.

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 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.

“Mary-Ashlynne was wonderful! She consistently gave us updates with photos with each visit, which gave me a peace of mind in leaving our little guy behind! I’d highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”


About: Hello! My name is Alayna and I am currently looking for a fun way to make a little extra money aside from my full time job. I grew up with multiple dogs and I have always adored working with, playing with, and taking care them. I'm always excited to meet a new dog and interact with them. I'm outgoing, energetic, and reliable. Also, if your dog has special needs, I will do my very best to accommodate! :) I work full time so my availability is limited to weekends. I work for a school so when we have breaks, I may be available during those times as well! My Availability (times outside of my availability can be discussed) Fridays: 5pm - 9pm Saturdays: 8am - 10pm Sundays: 9am - 5pm I live in an apartment complex but it has plenty of yard space. If your pet has special needs or accommodations, feel free to message and we can discuss how to ensure your pet is most comfortable and happy :)

“Taylor watched our dog Brown for a few days and now he doesn’t like us anymore (just kidding)! She did a very good job. On time, responsible, photos of Brown and played with him. We will use her again. Probably in Sept 2019.”


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: 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!

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 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.

Angela S.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Angie as a pet sitter. Her love for animals shines through in everything she does. From the moment she meets your pet, it’s clear they’re in kind and capable hands. What sets Angie apart is not just her attentiveness and responsibility, but the genuine affection she has for every animal she cares for. Angie’s heart for animals is also evident in her personal life. She adopted two sweet kittens from the humane society, giving them a safe, loving home when they needed it most. She didn’t just bring them home—she welcomed them into her family. Watching them thrive under her care is a testament to her patience, compassion, and deep understanding of animal needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, Angie goes above and beyond. She’s the kind of person who will notice if something’s a little off and make sure everything is okay. I trust her completely with my pets, and they adore her too!”


Anna O.

“Matt would be a wonderful pet sitter as he has had a dog for many years now and cares deeply for his pet. He also also shown much responsibility for the dog over the years setting up appointments, feeding, walking, training etc. He is a dog lover through and through and would be a great addition to the service to help bring other dogs joy and happiness like he has done so many times with his own dog and others!”

Emily was amazing! She was kind, prompt, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, she treated my puppy with so much love and care — it gave me real peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely compassionate!

This was Bradley’s second time taking care of our inside and outside cats. We had him return for a reason….very reliable, always sends lots of pictures, and just goes above and beyond. Thank you 🙏 so much Bradley, we’ll find you again….

Samantha took the best care of our 3 large babies. She followed directions well, and updated us on how they were doing. It was a relief to know our fur babies were in such great hands while we got to enjoy a day out with our human babies. Highly recommend

We are very thankful for Isa! Not only did she make herself available without much notice, but her professionalism, ,skill and kindness as she interacts with animals and their parents is what we all hope to find in a pet sitter. When we do find such a gem, we want to stay connected to such a wonderful person who takes such good care of our baby. We found a wonderful sitter last year who always takes care of our girl, but sometimes our last-minute request find her not available. We never thought we could ever find someone to trust since our usual sitter goes so above and beyond. I’m so thankful to be proven wrong by finding Isa! Thank you, Isa for taking care of our little old girl. She was very happy and secure and your photography of her will always be treasured! We hope that you’ll be available for future visits.

Caroline takes amazing care of our cat. This is our second trip out of the country, leaving our cat in Caroline's care. Caroline is friendly and reliable, and we appreciate her so much!

Kylie was exceptional with our twelve year old boxer. She was very professional and easy to work with. Our dog LOVED her. In fact, I think she already misses her! Kylie is intuitive and comfortable with schedules and specific dog needs and diets. I was so very blessed to have found her! She also got our mail in and sent me many pictures and updates. She is phenomenal and one of those people that you just know are going to be successful and competent in all they do! I would love to have her come again and would not hesitate at all to do so! She felt like family!

Amazing as always!! So thrilled to have found Emily so we can rest easily while we’re away, knowing that our babies are in the best possible hands!

Very professional. She really cares about the pets she sits for. Will definitely reach out again if we need a sitter.

Mary-Ashlynne was great with our cat and our dog. She gave us lots of updates and pictures, which we really appreciated.

We really appreciated how Marielle worked with us when we found out we needed pet care last minute. She was very communicative and professional and we would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet-sitter. As a plus our puppy loved her and can’t wait to see Marielle again! :)

We’re so happy we found Kathryn! Our puppy loves the walks and attention she gets on days we can’t be with her.

Highly recommend Juleigh. From the meet and greet to the drop-in, very pleased with her communication and excitement to care for my 3 dogs. She did everything as asked and my dogs loved her. Thank you Juleigh.
