House Sitting Rediviva

“Olga & Stepan were excellent! They cared for our 3 pets (two cats and dog) while we were gone for the day—they gave the dog her daily pill, took her out, played their special game, and even went above and beyond to leave the house better than when we left it. We are looking forward to having them back for a longer visit.”

“Couldn’t be nicer. Thank you, Alexia!”

“We had an amazing experience with Farrin as our pet sitter for our dog, Taco. She took excellent care of him overnight, making sure to give him plenty of playtime and cuddles while we were away. Farrin was respectful of our home, leaving everything clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. She even came by for a meet and greet before the booking, giving us peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Farrin again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend her!”

About: Animals definitely perceive my positive attitude, and people do too. I genuinely love making cats and dogs happy. I often talk to any animal quite a bit because I believe a calm tone of voice is good for them psychologically. Additionally, I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats throughout the years, working in kennel facilities and through ownership, and I understand what is required to keep them happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule, with much time to ensure your pets get the exercise he or she needs, and the attention they deserve. They won't be lonely while you're away! Additionally, I can administer any medications necessary and follow any special dietary restrictions. Your cats and dogs are in good hands with me! I center taking care of my own animals around my daily schedule. I do my best to keep their regular feeding times ,and for my dogs walking times at expected hours. It can be difficult, but it wouldn't be fair for them to not know what to expect. So ultimately, I adjust my required needs around their schedule in terms of errands, and etcetera. I care for pets in a way they are accustomed to; meaning regular schedules for feeding, walks and/or medication. If they are staying in my home, I would try to provide the most comfortable accommodations as possible while awaiting their people. But in a client's home, I would just coddle the pet, give them comfort, and again - keep them on the schedule they are accustomed to.

“Such a nice young Lady. Shes like a dog whisperer, they loved her instantly! My dogs dont get that excited when I come home! Top notch! I would give her ten stars if I could. Madison went above and beyond!”

“We can’t recommend Sara enough! She recently cared for our two dogs, Frankie and Lulu, as well as our fish, and went above and beyond by making sure the bird feeder was stocked for the wild birds. Her attentiveness and thoughtfulness were evident from day one. She sent us daily updates and plenty of pictures of Frankie and Lulu, which kept us reassured and connected while we were away. It was clear Sara treated our home and pets as if they were her own. Frankie and Lulu were happy and relaxed when we returned, and everything in the house was spotless. Knowing our pets were in such good hands made our time away completely stress-free. We’re so grateful for Sara and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and paying close attention to any changes in behavior or comfort. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I prioritize keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have volunteered in the past with being a temporary foster for shelter/rescue dogs. I also have volunteered with driving dogs in rescues to their medical appointments. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra attention, or more specialized care, I’m here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with more open availability in the afternoons and evenings. I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and can provide reliable, timely care you can count on. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs including medical care or medications. I follow instructions closely and keep a watchful eye on behavior to ensure your dog feels secure and well cared for. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain a calm, clean environment. On walks, I stay attentive, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure your dog is always secure. I’m also happy to provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I provide pet care with a genuine focus on safety, structure, compassion and comfort. I'm patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel secure, loved, and understood. I have experience with puppies, but senior pups have my heart. One thing my clients like is how connected they feel while they're away. I take lots of photos and videos throughout the day and send daily updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my priority, and I make sure you feel just as supported as they do. My goal is to make them feel at home and cared for and return back to you happy, relaxed and well cared for. I recently left my position as a General Manager to pursue my love for animals full-time, which means pet care is now the center of my daily routine. I structure my days around the pet's I'm caring for, making sure they get consistent walks, playtime, feedings and lots of snuggles. I am able to be flexible, responsive, and fully present with every pet in my care. Your pet will always have my time, my patience and my full commitment. My care is always tailored to each family’s needs and each pet’s personality. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your established routines—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any specific training or comfort needs. If you have a fenced-in yard, I ensure your pet gets safe outdoor time. If leash walking is required, I provide structured, attentive walks based on your pet’s energy level. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a calm, country setting with a large, open yard. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, safety is always my priority. Until I fully know and trust your pet’s recall, behavior, and comfort level, all outdoor time will be done on leash. Once I understand their temperament and you are comfortable, we can adjust as appropriate. No matter the environment, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, secure, and truly cared for whether I’m in your home or mine.

“Victoria was great! So responsive and was easy to get in touch with! Our pets loved her!”

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in the animal industry and currently work at a veterinary hospital, where I provide hands-on care to a variety of pets every day. My experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, safety, and the individual needs of different pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including pets who may require extra patience, medication, or specialized care. Working in a veterinary environment has also taught me how to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately when a pet may not be feeling their best. When caring for your pets, my priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and other specific needs. You can feel confident knowing that your pets are in the care of someone with professional animal-care experience who genuinely enjoys helping animals and treating every pet as if they were my own. Depending on my schedule I work from 7am - 3pm or 8am - 5pm, before or after my regular job I am free to hang out with your fuzzy guy! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. With 3 years of experience in the animal industry and my current work at a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, or other signs that something may be wrong, and I communicate with the owner promptly if I have any concerns. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same respect and care I give their pets, keeping things clean and secure and providing updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Please take a moment to read my full description 🐾💛. It’s very important to me that you do, as everything I include here is designed for the benefit of everyone involved —your pet, myself as their caregiver, and you as their loving parents, because I know your furry friend is truly part of your family and deserves the best care. You may find that what I’ve written here answers several of your questions, especially if this is your first time leaving your pet in someone else’s care. Here you’ll find all the details about boarding and daycare, including my routine, flexibility, safety measures, and how I care for each pet’s needs. If you have any questions or additional concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll be happy to answer everything you need so you can feel completely comfortable and at ease before booking. 🐾✨ ⸻ Hi! I’m Romely, a lifelong animal lover currently living in Virginia. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), so I can communicate comfortably in both languages —making it easier for you to feel understood and confident when we talk about your furry family member. 💬🐾 I began my journey as a rescuer and volunteer in animal shelters in Puerto Rico, caring for dogs and cats in delicate conditions and staying by their side until they found their forever homes. That experience taught me empathy, patience, and what it truly means to care from the heart. After moving to Virginia, I continued volunteering at local shelters, gaining even more experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and special needs. Caring for animals remains the heart of my daily life. At home, your pet will meet Athenas, my sweet, calm, and friendly dog who loves making new friends —both dogs and cats. I like to provide a balanced routine, with fun walks around our community’s pet park, interactive play, mental stimulation, and cozy relaxation time in a safe, loving environment. During their stay or care, your pet is my priority. I make sure they receive all my attention, love, and supervision so they feel comfortable, happy, and safe at all times. 💛🐾 For me, the most important thing is your pet’s safety and your peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I like to maintain constant communication with pet parents and share multiple updates throughout the day, whether it’s photos, videos, or messages showing how your pet’s day is going. 📸🐾 I never call unless it’s an emergency, but I genuinely enjoy keeping you updated because I know how important it is to feel connected and reassured. If you prefer a different communication style (for example, fewer updates or only once a day), just let me know —I’ll gladly adapt to your preferences. 💕 I’m trained in Pet CPR and First Aid, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I completely understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be hard —for both you and your furry friend. That’s why I do everything possible to ensure everyone feels comfortable and at peace from the very beginning. We love treating every pet as part of our own family, giving them the same love, respect, and attention we give to our own. ✨ I only host one family at a time to guarantee fully personalized care. For day sitting, I can care for up to two pets per day, always ensuring each one receives the attention, love, and space they deserve. We also love celebrating pets! 🥳 If your furry friend has a special day —like a birthday or adoption anniversary— please let me know. I enjoy hosting small “puppy parties” and making homemade pupcakes, decorating the space to make their stay extra special. 🎂🐾 📸 I also love photographing pets during their stay and sharing some of those joyful moments on Rover or social media, showing happy, everyday activities. If you’d prefer that I don’t post photos of your pet, please just let me know —I’ll fully respect your wishes. 💕 💻 Since I work from home, I’m not available for in-person meet & greets, as I often have meetings or need to be on call, and I wouldn’t be able to give you the full attention you deserve. I also made this decision because most of my apartment is carpeted, and some people prefer not to remove their shoes when entering. In our home, we don’t wear shoes indoors, keeping the environment clean and safe for the pets. At the entrance, we have a paw-cleaning station, where every time the dogs go out or come back in, we wash their paws with dog-safe soap and water before letting them walk freely inside the apartment. I’m happy to share details about the soap I use, and if your pet has any allergies or needs a specific type of shampoo, please let me know so I can use their own product and ensure their comfort and safety. 🧼🐾 It’s also very important to let me know if your dog has any food allergies or follows a strict diet. Sometimes a small piece of fruit, a bit of cheese, or a treat dogs love 🧀🍎 might sneak its way in —and I always want to make sure everything your pet receives is completely safe. 💕🐶 For Drop-Off and Pick-Up, you’re welcome to come right up to my door to say goodbye to your furry friend, or if you prefer, you can sit on the porch for a few minutes to have a calm and loving farewell. The same applies when you come for pick-up —I want both you and your pet to feel relaxed and supported during that transition. 💛🐾 🐾 I’m also very flexible with schedules and family needs. If you live nearby, I can offer free pick-up for your pet. If you’re a bit farther away, I can still help with transportation for a small, low fee, just to cover travel costs. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times —you can set them through the app, but if something unexpected comes up or you need to adjust, please don’t stress! I completely understand. If your dog is with me for day sitting and something comes up at the last minute where they need to stay overnight, don’t worry —these things happen, and I’ll gladly make sure they’re safe and comfortable for the night. 🌙🐾 And if your booking was last-minute and you didn’t have time to buy food or any items your pet might need for their stay, I can take care of that for you and do the shopping myself to make sure your furry friend has everything they need. 🛒💕 If, for any reason, your pet needs to extend their stay, I can often make exceptions when possible, even if Rover shows no availability. My priority is to keep everything stress-free for both you and your pet. 💕 That said, I’m happy to schedule a 15-minute virtual tour of my home, send videos of the community and the dog park, and meet through a video call before your pet’s stay. This way, you can feel completely comfortable and confident before leaving your furry family member with me. 💕 Thank you so much for considering my services! I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pet. 🌿🐶 I work from home full-time, so your pet will always have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and even for last-minute bookings, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is always cared for and never left alone. I live in a safe, pet-friendly community with its own dog park, perfect for daily walks, exercise, and playtime. At home, your pet will meet Athenas, our sweet and friendly dog who loves both dogs and cats. If needed, I can provide crate space or separate areas to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: Hi! I’m someone who has grown up around dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always just been a natural part of who I am. I’ve had three family dogs over the years, and each one has taught me something different. From playful puppy energy, to daily routines and training, to slower senior care and patience. One of my dogs, Charlie, recently passed, and caring for him through his life,especially at the end really deepened how much I understand what pets mean to a family. Because of that, I don’t take pet care lightly, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own home, and I try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. I’m very active and love being outside, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. At the same time, I’m just as comfortable with mellow dogs who need a gentler pace or extra attention. I’m patient, attentive, and I pay close attention to routines because I know how important consistency is for pets. My goal is always to make things easy for you and stressfree for your pet. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel right at home with me. I can’t wait to meet your dog and take care of them like they’re my own :) I am a recent graduate from Kettle Run High School and I am not attending college, I am looking for work in the real estate field and am free everyday to do some walking or sitting! I walk, feed, and play with my own personal dogs, I can offer feeding the dogs, staying in your home when out of town, walks, taking them out in yard, playing with them, petting them.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and will care for yours like one of my own. I understand dogs needs and wants, and can accommodate any special circumstances. I’ve cared for coworkers and external family pets. My two Australian shepherds love the company and are extremely easy going. I am a hybrid worker that is very flexible. My work is 10 minutes away from home, and I have no extracurricular activities that occupy my time outside of work. I love to take my family and pets on outside walks and runs during my spare time. I follow strict times when it comes to feeding, potty breaks, and sleep. I have a fenced yard that has shade covering for outdoor lounging. Behind my patio there is a grassed field that I always let my pets run around in. Your pet will always stay by my side and be watched with 100% attention. There are 3 floors inside with plenty of space to do indoor activities. Neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet, with tons of tracks to walk through.

“Leonard’s was wonderful! Her partner Jon who is also with Rover also stayed with our dogs. They were courteous, responsive and sent tons of picture updates. We had a great experience”

Jennifer H.

“Ananda did an amazing job with my little pack! Including my blind, senior girl who needs extra TLC. I never worried about them, as she would check in and send pictures—-which was great as I was out of the country. We will definitely have Ananda visit again on my next trip away from my furkids!”

Jamie G.

“We absolutely love Kiana! She has taken care of Hazel and Apollo for us several times, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re with her. She is so kind, dependable, and attentive, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about them. Our dogs are happy and comfortable with her, which means everything to us. Just as importantly, Kiana takes wonderful care of our home while we’re away. We never have to worry about a thing. We come home to happy dogs and a clean, well-cared-for house, which makes traveling so much easier. It’s a great feeling to have someone we trust completely with both our dogs and our home. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Kiana and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly caring and trustworthy.”

About: I believe you treat all animals like if they are your pet. I’m known to overly spoil my animals with love, funny voices, and care. I will keep you updated with pictures and videos and your pets are in exceptional care. I have an open schedule to cover their needs and care while I’m on duty and they become my family for the time they are with me. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over 15 years typically small and medium sized dogs. I do have experience with some larger breeds on basic essential needs and care. I went through a battle of IVDD with my French Bulldog who passed which took a role on how I view the time with animals in general. I have an open schedule and extremely accommodating to your needs. I can work around the necessary schedule. I work this full time and if I don’t have any sitting I also run deliveries. I have a safe and trusted environment. I have one dog who gets along with other dogs but he is hyper and wants to play and nap consistently. I have a cat who does her own thing so my house is relaxed. No little kids and just me and my partner which she works from home so there’s always someone at home.

About: I work with pet adoptions and disabled pets. I like to do this part time as I am a working professional. I am not a smoker and live alone in a pet friendly community. I think all animals are deserving of loving arms and kisses. I have owned pets all of my life. I believe in playing and being in pets presence will give them a feeling of warmth and security. I am available to pet sit in your home as well as in mine. I love smaller breeds. I can handle them best, but I love all breeds the same. Puppies are always welcome and will get top attention from me all the time.
