House Sitting Rapidan

“Riley did a great job with our dog Lola. She came to meet us ahead of time and was prompt on the actual day. Lola can be a handle but everything went well! She sent us pics and updates and the house was perfectly clean when we got home. Lola was happy!. Would definitely use her again for overnights or drop ins! Highly recommend!”

“Grace did a remarkable job caring for my little dog. She was patient and gave Biscuit time and space to warm up to her. The pet sitting was a great success. I look forward to having Grace pet sit for us in the future.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I am part of a rescue and have had many fosters throughout my home, along with many dogs myself. I had a special needs basset hound and loved giving him the extra help he needed during his life. I also have experience with puppies, big dogs, blind dogs, and shy/breeder release! I did train my dogs starting at age 12 as well. Open at any time! Walks, potty breaks, petting session and everything in between! I have very few scheduling conflicts. Available almost all day every day :) With compassion and care. I would take care of your pet as it is needed and however you request! I would treat your animal and home as I would mine.

“Breanna was wonderful! Loved the pics and how much she actually cared for our Jasmine girl. She understood Jasmine is more than a pet to us. We 100% trust her and will book her again. Jasmine adores her so much.”

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)

“What a blessing it was to find Maddy. She did a fabulous job (on short notice over a holiday) and my critters loved her! Definitely going to utilize her services again!”

I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first.

“We highly recommend Sydney! She stayed with our two dogs for three nights and was great at communicating with us when needed. She also provided pics and updates. Our flight home was a late night flight and we knew the dogs would be okay for the amount of time we planned for them to be alone, but she went above and beyond and stopped back to let them out an extra time. The dogs seemed content when we got home and I think they would give her two paws up 🐾 Thank you Sydney!”

About: I had a dog of my own for 10 years before moving away for college, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet. I've cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I know how to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy during walks and visits. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I will treat your dog like family, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you're away. I am patient with shy or anxious pets and always let them approach me at their own pace so they feel safe and comfortable. While I am currently searching for a full-time job, I wanted to spend my time doing something meaningful that I genuinely enjoy. Caring for pets is a perfect fit because I've always had a love for animals, especially dogs. Being able to help pet owners while spending time with wonderful pets truly feels like a win-win situation. In a client's home, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to follow the owner's instructions closely. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, and shy or anxious pets. I always let pets approach me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and build trust. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and receive any medications or special care as instructed by their owner. I also believe communication is important, so I will send regular photo and video updates so owners can see how their pets are doing while they're away. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, cared for, and as comfortable as possible until you return home.

About: I loved going on long walks and runs with my family dog Toby… however Toby passed away last summer. But my love for dogs never changed, I felt like I wanted to surround myself with pets again to fill my itch to play with dogs and care for them. I watch my friends dogs while they are out on vacation. I also watch my family pets as well. Whenever I am babysitting kids, we all include the pets in our activities. I do have a 2 year old short haired tabby cat, he is orange and his name is Cheddar… he also acts like an orange cat too. He has a big personality and keeps me on my toes, my roommate also has a cat as well, we take turns taking care of each other’s cats. It’s nice because Cheddar sees my roommates cat as a second mom… I am new, but I am willing to get more involved with rover and build my profile. I am currently working for part time. I will be attending south central this fall, to pursue dental assisting. I decided to dog sit on the side as I am looking to make some money, but I also just really love being around and caring for pets. I can make it work around my job schedule if needed. You let me know a week in advance and I can make it work! I usually set up a meeting to meet with the owners. I like printed hand outs with instructions for their dogs and home. I am respectful of their homes and follow rules that we go over during the meeting.

“Iris did a fantastic job! We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi there! I'm a proud dog mom to a sweet Mini Goldendoodle named Finley. Growing up, I was surrounded by animals and loved helping care for them — my passion for animals has been with me ever since! I truly adore all animals and would treat yours like my own!

About: I’m always asking friends and family if they need someone to watch their animals or even just take them for a walk because I love animals! Of all shapes and sizes. My schedule can be a bit unpredictable, but I love hanging out with animals when I’m able! Seven more words needed ok we’re good I live in a house with plenty of room to roam and a great window view for your animal! I do not have a fenced in yard so letting dogs out would be supervised on a leash.
