“Katie is a conscientious and caring dog-sitter. She did a great job establishing trust and providing emotional comfort to our dogs while we were away. One of our dogs is particularly anxious when we leave, and he responded well to Katie. Both of our dogs loved her. They received excellent care, and we appreciated the written updates and photos.”

“A massive thank you to Jake for taking such great care of our kitties while we were away on our trip! We appreciated the daily updates with detailed descriptions of the visit, and also the photos he would include for us of our boys :) Jake is an extremely reliable, dependable and communicative sitter and we will be happy to work with him again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid, starting with our two family dogs, Snuggles and Peanut! Peanut was a puppy when we got her and I learned a lot about training from that experience. Both our dogs lived good long lives and required a lot of senior care near the end. I’ve also taken care of dogs and cats for friends and coworkers in the last several years when they go on vacation. I love our furry friends and being outside, something we usually have in common! I work full-time in-person Monday through Friday. I am available for pet sitting after work and can do overnight stays but would not be available during the day on weekdays. On weekends, I have a lot of availability and the longest pets would be left alone is 4-5 hours. I live in an apartment and unfortunately cannot host your pet at my home but would be thrilled to keep your furry friend company in your home! I am a very reliable and responsible person and have been at my full-time job for the last six years. My friends and coworkers trust me with their pets and know that I will communicate with them frequently and love on their pets just like they do!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. From pet sitting, walking, and senior pet care. I am attentive and loving to all types of pets. I am currently on summer break from college, so my schedule is entirely flexible. I own a car and can commute to you anytime or day. I provide boarding, dog walking, and drop in services. Dogs in my care get frequent walks, lots of attention, and plenty of love. I want every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away.

“Sarah was an excellent cat sitter! We got in-depth notes and the cutest photos with every drop in. Her questions and attentiveness during both the meet and greet and actual sitting period showed that she cared about our cats’ routines/happiness during our absence. It’s always nerve-wracking to allow someone new into our home to care for our babies, but Sarah really put those nerves at ease. Def recommend her to anyone looking for a new sitter in the area and we hope to book her again the future!”

“Bradi was great with communication and navigating the needs of my apartment complex. Cats had a great time!”

About: All my life I have been surrounded by animals. Now me and my husband live with four cats and our dog, which we love and care for. From trimming nails to baths to play time, I really do enjoy every moment spent with them. I take care of pets on a daily basis, with whatever I can do to help make the owners life easier. I have an open availability and a very flexible schedule! I am able to adjust to any environment with a small tour. I am also able to adjust my home accordingly to the needs of the fur baby.

About: I’ve been working closely with dogs since I was four years old. We moved around a lot growing up and I would always helped her readjust to feel safe in new areas. I would get to know neighbors’ and friends’ pets, and with this early life experience, I’m a natural at getting pets to feel comfortable with me. I have experience working with senior dogs and dogs in recovery from injury, as well as dogs who have been rescued or traumatized by scary situations. I am currently in school, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I typically have 1-2 classes per weekday, either in the morning or at night, leaving the majority of my schedule open for pet care. I always make sure pets’ emotional needs are taken care of. For example, I pay very close attention to body language. At home, if my dog is ever purposefully ignoring me, I check with her to see if something is wrong.

“Edward was AMAZING with my girls. I was gone for 2 weeks and got photos and updates every time he visited them. It made me feel great knowing they were being taken care of so well while I was gone, especially since one needed insulin injections 2x a day. He isn't kidding when he says your pets will be spoiled! The girls loved him and he gave them attention and love after their meals. I will be using his services again in the future!”

Danielle H.

“Christina took the time to learn about my dog's routine ensuring a seamless transition during my absence. I appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and well-cared for. Christina is responsible and reliable and went above and beyond to provide personalized care.”

I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and giving pets attention throughout the day.

“Melissa’s care for our cat was absolutely superb and a perfect intro to Rover for us. She was highly communicative, responsive, and cared for our cat like her own. She sent photos after the scheduled visits and took care of our home. Highly recommend booking with Melissa - we’ve already re-booked.”

About: “I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’ve personally raised three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive—I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands.” “I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for evening visits, as well as overnight care. Weekends are wide open for more flexible scheduling, whether your pet needs extra attention, longer walks, or extended stays.” “I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks, and I keep a clean, calm environment in the home. I’m also experienced with administering medications if needed. I know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention and care. I make sure they feel relaxed and at home, with plenty of time for play, rest, and affection.”

“Danielle did a great job watching our 2 kitties. They were well cared for under her watch, enjoyed being petted and accepting treats and play time from her.”

“Mikaela did a wonderful job with our two Dachshunds, one of whom is very shy. We were so lucky to have her and can’t wait to have her visit and care for our pups again!”

Kate R.

“Jambaar was great with my cats and would highly recommend him. I came home to happy and mellow kitties. He gave great updates and pictures, so I knew exactly what was going on.”

About: I’ve taken care of the family corgi, Lucky, for 12 years now and have petsit for neighbor’s dogs, cats, and bunnies in the past. In addition to petsitting, throughout high school I was involved in a 4-H dog training club, where Lucky and I trained together, learning tricks and agility from certified trainers and earning AKC trick titles certifications. We got a Lucky as a puppy, so I have experience with younger dogs as well. I just graduated from JMU and don’t start my first job until the end of July, so my schedule is pretty open aside from a family vacation in June. I’m unavailable on Sunday mornings (8:30am-12pm) but otherwise have plenty of free time during the rest of the week and can do visits or walking after 12:30pm on Sundays. I’m happy to accommodate whatever needs you and your pet have for care in your home. In the past, I’ve made multiple visits a day to owners homes to feed, walk, play with, and generally just check on and spend time with the animals. I have experience walking, feeding, playing indoors and outdoors, and cleaning up after dogs. I’m unable to board dogs at my house because of my own dog, but am definitely willing to care for them in their own home.
