House Sitting Rockbridge

“Morgan is an amazing house and dog sitter. She treated my dogs like her own children and sent LOTS of pics and videos to prove it. I came home to happy dogs and a clean house. They can't wait for her next visit!”

“Michaley was great! Booked last minute and she came out for a meet and greet and took fantastic care of our boy.”

About: Hello everyone, my name is Alexandria and I love all animals, particularly dogs. I have grown up with dogs and cats practically my entire life, raising most of them since they were puppies. I currently have two dogs of my own — Pepper, my 10-year-old Dachshund mix, and Carson, my 8-year-old French Bulldog. Both of my dogs are on the smaller side, so my preference is to watch smaller dogs, as they tend to be the best fit for our home dynamic. I joined Rover to earn additional income, as well as to provide a companion for my dogs to hang out and socialize with. My schedule is pretty flexible, which means I can give your fur baby plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I am looking forward to meeting your little fur baby and providing them with a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. Because my hours are not rigid, I am able to adapt to just about any routine — whether your dog needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or a specific feeding schedule, I can make it work. Whatever your dog’s routine looks like at home, just let me know and I will do my best to match it as closely as possible. And if for any reason I am unable to accommodate something specific, I will always be upfront and let you know before booking so there are no surprises. Your dog’s comfort and consistency are always my priority. When caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, my top priority is making sure your dog feels as comfortable and at ease as possible. I believe in sticking to your dog’s established routine, because familiarity goes a long way in keeping them calm and happy while you’re away. I provide walks in the morning, midday, and in the evening to make sure your pup stays active and gets plenty of fresh air. Feeding is always done according to your dog’s schedule and dietary instructions — I will follow whatever routine you have at home so there are no disruptions to what your dog is used to. I also take the time to understand the individual needs of each dog in my care. Every dog is different, and I want to make sure I’m attentive to their personality, comfort level, and any special requirements they may have. My goal is simply to do my very best to provide a safe, loving, and consistent experience for your fur baby until you return.

“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”

“Zoe watched our pup Finn and housesat for us for 10 days while we were on vacation. Zoe was super responsive and shared updates daily on how Finn was doing. The house was in great shape upon returning home and overall thrilled to have had Zoe's help while we went out of town.”

Alexa O.

“Carson was great! Communicative, helpful, and honest. He got along with all our herd, even our older dog who is wary of anyone except us. Carson is an anthropomorphic personification of Xanax for critters and seems like he has a calming presence on anxious animals. We will be booking him again and watching his future career in veterinary medicine with interest.”

“Mia was amazing. Her communication was so consistent that I always knew what was going on with our pup and she even sent pictures. It was so nice k owing she was taken care of by a caring person!”

Dana S.

“Danielle was awesome with my furry family!!! She cared and loved them, maintained their routine, and kept the house very tidy! I also received pictures and updates - communication was great! We can't wait for her to come sit again and highly recommend!”

Christen C.

“Absolutely and completely satisfied with the love shown to my puppy by this sitter/family. Would definitely recommend! She sent pictures and videos and kept me fully informed. Eliscia will definitely be my first contact in the future.”

Tangela M.

“Marquesha was a great house sitter. She was punctual and dependable. She took care of two dogs and cats. She followed all of our directions and left our house in top shape!”

Kenya J.

“Emily was great to our cat and dog. Our dog has anxiety and it gets worse with thunderstorms and fireworks. Since it was 4th of July weekend and stormy she was able to help my dog feel comfortable. She also answered all my questions in a timely manner and was clean and professional! We already plan to book another trip with her.”

Ashley G.

“Ariel was an absolute delight. We met her prior to the visit and could tell right away it would be a great couple of days. We left two pages of notes and it didn't bother her one bit 😆 Super professional. She showed our babies all the same love they're used to.”

Romi C.

“Usually when I have to board my pets, I come back and they are sullen and wont ea. This time, they were happy, and resumed normal behavior as if I hadn’t left them. Thank you for making them feel better. I would like to continue using this gentleman when I have to travel.”

Donna S.

“Jill was absolutely fantastic with both my dog and my cat! Since they are both elderly, they require a bit of extra grace and attention, and Jill showed incredible patience with my dog, who really needed it. I felt completely comfortable with her coming in and out of our home, and her communication was exactly what we needed to feel at ease while away. It is clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. Jill is definitely a five-star sitter, and I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: What sets me apart is my commitment to one-on-one attention. Unlike boarding facilities where care is divided among many animals, I focus exclusively on your pet in the environment where they feel safest. I excel at maintaining their exact routine to minimize stress and prevent the anxiety that often comes with travel or unfamiliar settings. I prioritize safety and household security. Beyond caring for your pet, I provide an extra layer of home security by being a regular presence while you're away. I am diligent about double-checking locks, gates, and following all 'house rules' strictly to ensure both your pet and your property are respected and secure. My daily routine is built around staying active and being outdoors. I dedicate my mid-morning and lunch hours specifically to dog walking and drop-in visits. Because I don't host pets in my own home, my full attention is on your pet during our scheduled time. I thrive on providing structured exercise and can easily adapt to your pet's preferred walking routes and energy levels to ensure they get the midday break they need. During 30 or 60-minute drop-in visits, I focus on high-quality engagement, including interactive play, backyard potty breaks, and refreshing food and water. For walks, I follow your preferred neighborhood routes to ensure your dog gets the specific exercise and mental stimulation they need. After every visit, I’ll send a Rover Card with photos and a detailed update so you know exactly how they’re doing.

“Ashley stayed in our home and was great with our dog for our week away - she came by to visit before the stay, sent us a bunch of pictures an updates and we could tell he was a happy guy! Very respectful of both our home and our dog’s routines. We were thrilled that he had such a great experience and highly recommend her services. Will have her back again!”

Eliza K.

About: I’ve grown up around big dogs my whole life. I have both house sat for cats and dogs before. Small and large. I make the animals are well fed, cleaned up after. I have had to aid in medical care on a dog before. I have a fairly flexible schedule. I want to make sure the pets are well visited. Even if it just means sitting with them it is important they don’t feel alone. Rather than constat play and activity I would gladly sit around with the pets to make them feel more comfortable . Whether the yard is fenced in or not I want to always make sure the pet is within my view. While getting to learn the pet I want to be able to watch how they act. If something were to go bad it’s important that I’m able to pinpoint what has happened because I was watching them.

“Anna did a great job staying with my pups over the weekend. She kept me updated and my pups looked so happy in their pictures. They were very well loved while I was away.”

Claudia R.

“Nicholas was great!”

Carol L.

“Ashley was a very big help on relatively short notice. One of my dogs can be very hesitant around strangers and despite a positive meet and greet prior to the sit, he was not accepting of her when she arrived. She kept an open line of communication, figured out a plan, and ended up resolving the issue and the sit went well. My dogs are not always the easiest to take care of but Ashley did not bat an eye and tackled the issues head on. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a sitter and cant thank her enough for her patience and flexibility.”
