“I am so thankful to have found Allison. Not only did Allison take great care of our girl while we were away, she was flexible, and quick to communicate to our inquiries. We will definitely use her again in the future and refer her to all of our friends!”

About: Hi everyone! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself! My name is Stacey, and my family and I live in the Providence Forge, VA area. I’ve lived on a farm my entire life and have experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, from little fish, cats, and dogs to horses and cattle! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve been loving and caring for them for as long as I can remember. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether you’re planning a vacation, a weekend getaway, or just need an extra helping hand, I’d love to help care for your furry family members! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to connect! Pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. I work from home so I am with them daily and for most of the day. My animals free feed and are let out when they signal that they need the bathroom. I I have a fenced in yard, and would love to hear more about your preferences on how to keep your dog safe and happy in your absence

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Jared! He is always very flexible with scheduling, which I truly appreciate, and he consistently sends photos throughout the day that give me peace of mind. Bella absolutely loves going there—especially the trips to the park to play and burn off energy. She also adores children, so she gets extra excited on days when she can spend time with his daughter. It’s clear she feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I have taken care of family pets for as long as I can remember. I was raised surrounded with dogs and cats alike, I come from a huge animal loving family. I have experience in senior animal care as well as puppies. I have most experience with fur babies 50 pds and under. I am a stay at home mom with two under 5 years old. I am available throughout the day to care for your loved fur babies. I have a big fenced in yard perfect for fetch or running around! I have a playful and very nice dog at home, brandy, that I can keep away from any visitors no problem if that will make you more comfortable. I also have two cats, frodo and cali, who will be kept seperate while caring for your pet.

“Absolutely perfect first experience with rover. Maggie sets the bar high with a welcoming home environment. She know exactly what she is doing - let the dogs meet freely, run freely and he felt right at home. I was so nervous but knew right away he would be fine. She sent pics throughout the day for reassurance and to let me see my buddy. Thanks so much!”

“Jonathan took good care of Chewy. Sending a photo while I was at work reassured me he was in good hands. Chewy looked so happy play with Jonathan’s dogs!”

“This was the first time I ever hired a pet sitter so I was so nervous about taking this step but I’m so glad I found Ayme!! She has made this experience such a positive one and my girl Mia absolutely loved her and her family. After meeting Ayme for the first time Mia literally would run inside her house and not even give me a second look whenever I dropped her off that’s how excited she was to be with Ayme ? I was also very appreciative of the pictures Ayme would send me throughout the day. That really put me at ease too. Mia will definitely be a returning customer!”

About: I am a dog lover who has a mini Bernedoodle. I have had senior dogs and dogs with extensive medical needs. I am able to administer meds in any way shape or form and have done the off leash K9 training with two of my own dogs now, so am aware of some basic commands. My husband and I both work from home full time. We have a great back yard for your pet to run around in with our sweet boy Winston. I have one sweet young dog who would love an occasional dog visitor and playmate. I will treat your pet just like I do, which one may define as a bit on the spoiled side!

“As always, the absolute best person to trust our nervous pup with!”

“Ashton is fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Bumi, and sent me plenty of photo and video updates while I was at work. Her communication was quick and she was able to look after Bumi twice on very short notice over a holiday weekend! He had a great time with her dog as well, and I know Bumi is always well taken care of when he's with her.”

“Jesse was awesome to work with, and was super accommodating and flexible with all the changes around my work trip. Would definitely book with him again.”

About: Hi! We’re Colorado and Utah natives who ended up in Charleston, SC, for PA school before my husband’s job in orthopedics brought us to Virginia. We’ve fallen in love with this area and with raising our daughter here! Our 11-year-old beagle, Julia, is the heart of our family. She was our first baby, and I remember someone once telling me that when you have a child, you won’t love your dog as much anymore. I couldn’t disagree more! Julia is everything to us, and our daughter calls her “sister.” ❤️ I grew up with a dog who was my whole world, and I come from a family of dog lovers (my mom has THREE beagles!). When Julia was a puppy, we used Rover in Utah to meet other dogs and take them hiking with us. We’ve always loved having dogs in our lives, and we’re excited to welcome some new furry friends into our home here! You’ll often find us walking or scootering around CW with Julia, and if you hear a beagle chasing squirrels, there’s a good chance it’s us! We also have a fenced yard for sniffing, exploring, and I also work from home, so I’m around most of the day to keep your pup company and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles! I also work from home, so I’m around most of the day to keep your pup company and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles! We’re not looking to do this full-time or host lots of dogs at once. I’d love for our daughter to learn a little about responsibility and earning money while saving up for a special trip. We’d also love to find a few dogs who become regular visitors! We know how special it is to find a Rover sitter you really trust. We were lucky enough to find someone we loved for Julia, and we’d plan trips around her availability whenever we could. I’d love to be that person for another family — someone their dog knows and gets excited to stay with, and someone they feel comfortable reaching out to whenever they need a hand. We take one guest dog at a time, although we'd consider a pair of siblings if they’re a good fit. We’re thoughtful about size, breed, and temperament because Julia’s comfort and our daughter’s safety come first. Our daughter loves dogs and is gentle and sweet with them. Julia’s best friend is a Goldendoodle, so we have a soft spot for those curly-haired cuties, too! We especially love sweet, easygoing older dogs, and we’re happy to consider puppies as long as they’re potty-trained. We do require a meet-and-greet before booking to make sure everyone gets along and feels comfortable. We know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. We’ve had a bad pet-care experience ourselves, and it really crushed us. It made us realize how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your fur baby. We want you to feel good about where your dog is staying and know they’re being treated like one of our own. Julia has Cushing’s disease and takes medication every night, so we understand the importance of keeping up with routines and giving medications as directed. My husband is a physician assistant, and we’re comfortable administering routine medications, too. Most of all, we want your pup to feel at home here, whether that means playing in the yard, going for walks, or curling up for some snuggles. We’re happy to send photos and updates while you’re away because we know how nice it is to see your dog happy and settled. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶

“Great with my little one she is old and spoiled Chihuahua and she just keeps getting spoiled. Loves the yard to run in and play with the bigger dogs sometimes. But the best part is she is worn out by the time we get home. And they are so flexible with my crazy schedule.”

About: As a former teacher and parent, I bring a level of patience, structure, and attentiveness to dog care that closely mirrors what children need to feel safe, supported, and well-guided. I understand how important routine, consistency, and clear boundaries are—not just for behavior, but for overall well-being. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of my daily life. I have hands-on experience with multiple breeds and temperaments, including my own dogs: three Huskies, a Dalmatian, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This has given me a strong understanding of both high-energy and more sensitive breeds, and how to balance activity with proper rest. My home is run as a family-supported, professionally managed boarding environment. My husband, a veteran, is also present and supportive, adding an extra level of attentiveness and reliability to the care your dog receives. What truly sets me apart is the intentional structure I provide. Dogs in my care are guided through a balanced routine that includes play, socialization, rest, and calm time. This helps prevent overstimulation, anxiety, and unsafe behaviors. This type of environment doesn’t just keep dogs safe—it helps them build better habits. Dogs learn to settle, share space appropriately, and become more comfortable around other dogs in a controlled setting. For many dogs, this supports improvements in reactivity, socialization, and overall behavior, helping them become more confident and well-adjusted outside of the home. I strongly believe that dogs thrive when their needs are met through routine, rest, and structure. Just like people, they require downtime and sleep to stay balanced. A consistent schedule helps prevent stress and overstimulation, creating a calmer, happier experience. I have experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, but I am intentional about ensuring that each dog is a good fit for my environment, so I can maintain a safe, structured, and positive space for every dog in my care. Pet care is my full-time focus, and my daily schedule is built entirely around the dogs in my care. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, scheduled walks, outdoor play, and one-on-one attention. Dogs are cared for on a structured routine that includes activity, feeding, and designated rest periods to keep them balanced and comfortable. I’m able to maintain a calm, organized environment where dogs receive reliable care, attention, and structure every day. I provide care in a structured, well-managed home designed for safety, balance, and low stress. As an owner of 5 dogs, 3 different breeds who are trained, I know what dogs need to thrive, feel loved, and thrive socially. While dogs are treated with love and attention, this is not a free-roam environment. I operate a crate-structured system that allows each dog to rest, reset, and avoid overstimulation while also keeping all dogs safe. In my home: • Dogs are comfortably crate trained • Dogs are crated during rest periods, overnight, and when unsupervised • Dogs are rotated for safe, controlled interaction • Dogs are never left to freely roam together without supervision This setup allows me to safely care for multiple dogs while still providing individual attention and a calm atmosphere. For safety: • Dogs must be non-aggressive toward people and other dogs • No history of biting or unsafe behavior • Dogs must be able to remain calm when confined • Collar or harness is required at all times This environment is best suited for dogs who are used to structure, routine, and boundaries.

About: Animals of all shapes and sizes have always loved me, and I love them too! I grew up with small and medium dogs in my home and have taken care of cats my entire adult life as both a parent and sitter. As a child, I had fish, lizards, and hamsters. If you've got a critter you need taken care of, I'm your guy! Pet care is woven into the rhythm of my day. Since I work from home, I’m lucky to be present for all the little moments—morning walks, midday play breaks, and evening wind-down cuddles. I start my day with a walk or some outdoor time, which helps both me and my pets get energized. Throughout the day, I schedule short breaks to check in on them, refresh water bowls, offer treats, or just share a few minutes of affection. Safety is my top priority. I want you to feel safe putting your pet(s) in my hands and I take this responsibility very seriously; I will treat your pet as if it were my own and pledge to keep in close contact with you throughout my service.

“Emily was a great sitter for our puppy. You could tell he enjoyed his experience of undivided attention. She took the best pictures so it felt like we were there with him. We were so thankful to go out knowing he was good. We will definitely book with her again.”
