About: I've taken care of dogs since I can remember. I'd walk them and make sure they got their food. I'd comb them and give them great grooming sessions. I'll give your pup the attention they need! I currently work at UVA caring for animals. My job is very flexible and I will have no trouble scheduling in care for your pets. In my home my rabbit is free roam. She has no restrictions. She is also litter trained. I'll pay close attention to the instruction you leave for your pet. I understand how important it is to keep them on their regular routine/ schedule.
“Candice is awesome! She’s always on time and sends pics and my dog loves her! I have Candice walk my dog every week and have no plans to change this arrangement. Thank you Candice!”
“Dakota was friendly, flexible, and reliable. Sam always enjoyed his time with Dakota. Dakota interspersed neighborhood walks & trips to the dog park with visits to Barnes & Noble and other places. We will use Dakota again without reservation and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life, whether it’s watching dogs for neighbors or my own pets. I love animals and can provide a ton of care and attention for your pet :) I currently have a free schedule so I can make any time or day work for me. I can do overnights with about a 12 hour notice. I can care for your pet however you say, weather you need your pet outside for most of the day or inside in the a.c. I can accommodate for any needs.
“Winnie loves her walks with Amanda! Amanda has been wonderful, great communication and always shares cute pictures. She’s been able to adjust schedule as needed. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I grew up on a farm and have raised dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and small birds of my own. I’m also familiar with caring for other animals like lizards and small rodents. Whether it’s boarding, drop-in visits, or dog walking, I’d love the chance to spend time with your pet and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away. I have a very open and flexible schedule so feel free to reach out anytime for your pet sitting or walking needs! I am dedicating my summer to pet/house sitting jobs while I prepare for Law School in the fall. Therefore, I am fully available day and night for your pets! I know a lot about animals and their behavior. I am very responsible and will be sure to follow instructions and I'm confident that my knowledge regarding animals will help me take care of any situation with your pet.
About: I bring a lifetime of experience and genuine love for dogs to every walk and stay. From puppy training to ensuring safety and happiness, your pet's well being is my top priority. You can trust me to provide the care and attention your dog deserves, backed by a flawless track record! I work remotely 3-4 times a week. Those days I am available throughout the day depending on meetings. I'm also free every weekday before 9am or after 4-5pm! Weekends are flexible! I have a spacious apartment but I would lean on going outside for a walk, hike, or a trip to the dog park! My parents also have 3 dogs in their home in McLean with a massive background and pool.
About: I've grown up around and have had lots of dogs throughout my life. I've had experience caring for all kinds of dogs big and small. I can also manage multiple dogs at once, and can give each pup tons of attention and love. I have a very open schedule both weekdays and weekends. I'm home from college right now, staying with my parents, and have my own car for any transportation. I live in a neighborhood with a large dog park, and plenty of trees and bushes to sniff. If necessary I have a medium-large sized crate.
About: New to Rover, but not to pet care :) I grew up with animals great and small. I've had dogs of all sizes, cats, horses, snakes, mice, chickens, and one skunk. All of my dogs are rescues, so I'm no stranger to reactive dog care and I'm well-versed in positive reinforcement training styles. I love all animals, but I've got a real soft spot for the senior babies. I recently lost my own 16 year old pittie, so I'm comfy in a space that may require a little extra effort. I'm a weightlifter in my free time, so I can easily help any size senior with any mobility issues 💜 I'm starting on Rover after losing my 13 year career in analysis to federal funding issues. My schedule is quite flexible and free, though I do have to be home at night to care for my own four-legged family members While I'd love to offer care in my home, I do have my own pets and introducing new babies to the mix can be stressful for all involved. In your home, I will love on your fur babies as if they were my own. They'll have a cuddle buddy (if they choose), engaging playtime, and treats (if you choose). I also spend quite a lot of time at the gym I own in downtown Charlottesville, so if you'd be comfortable with field trips, I'd happily take them out for some extra socialization.
About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I grew up on a farm, so animals have been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I’m confident with everything from barn cats to reactive dogs, and I’m no stranger to giving meds—pills, topicals, even injections. Whether your pet needs a calm walk, some playtime, or just a little company while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. My flexible schedule means your pet gets reliable care and plenty of attention—because they deserve nothing less! Pet care fits perfectly into my current lifestyle because I have an open and flexible schedule. That means I can focus on giving your pet the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, an early morning visit, or a last-minute check-in. I’m not juggling a 9–5, so your pet gets a sitter who’s reliable, available, and fully present. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to stick closely to their normal routine—because pets feel safest when things feel familiar. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, going for a walk, playtime, or just offering some company and belly rubs, I’m all about making your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I’m respectful of your space, leave things how I found them, and always send updates so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.
About: With 20+ years of dog ownership and over a decade of caring for cats, I bring calm, experienced, and compassionate care to every animal I meet. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and pets with medical needs—including administering meds and accommodating special diets. I treat each pet like family, giving them the attention, exercise, and comfort they need to thrive while you're away. Whether it's a quiet cuddle or an energizing trail walk, I tailor care to your pet's personality and needs. I start my mornings early and love getting walks in before it gets too hot. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I schedule walks, drop-ins, and check-ins around a calm, consistent home life. I’m outdoors every day, rain or shine, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, not just a task. Your pet’s needs will be met with patience, presence, and plenty of playtime. Whether in my home or yours, safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, dog-friendly environment—no crates unless requested, and always supervised play. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding to walks to meds. I keep spaces clean, secure, and low-stress, and I always take time to build trust with your pet through gentle handling and positive interactions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 14, living with them longer. I also currently live on a farm and have good hands when it comes to working with animals!

I have a very flexible schedule with my JMU classes this semester so I have lots of available time to spend with your fur baby. I am very comfortable using any style leash for walking and using crates. My time with your fur baby will focus on play, fun and comfort
About: I currently have a 12 year old chihuahua that I’ve had since 9th grade. Growing up my mother would take in rescues and find them homes if they did not get along with my chihuahua. My mother also cleaned houses for a living and I would go along and help her, while also helping her pet sit for those same clients. I am a gentle, loving, passionate care giver for any pet in my care. I am active and always available to give a pet the care they need when their loved one is away! I am in school full-time so my schedule varies. Having an older dog, she cannot go for the long walks I would like to take her on, so let me help both of us and take your pup out to explore the world! Animals of all shapes, handicaps, personalities, and more are always welcome!! This is an opportunity for extra fun. Thank you for inquiring for my help. Always appreciated. I have my own pet so I understand the necessary accommodations they need on a daily basis. I like to set aside enough time daily to provide the same care I provide my dog Abbey to my client’s pets. I enjoy thorough instruction for your pet’s needs so that I can provide the best care for your pet! I will treat your home as if it were my in-laws home, so very nicely haha 😆

Rosalie P.
“Rose has grown up on a small farm with numerous animals. She has learned to care for them all and has proved to be very responsible. Her favorite has always been dogs and she has had a dog of her own from when she was a toddler. She took care of her dog, has minded other people’s dogs as well as our own. I would trust Rose with any dog and I know the dogs would love her.”
Daniel L.
“Daniel loves dogs. He grew up with them and his family currently has three dogs. Even though Daniel is an adult who lives thirty minutes from his family home, Daniel walks the family dogs several times per week because he enjoys doing so. He is a patient and loving caregiver. He is also extremely responsible. He is always on time, and he is very organized. In his professional life, Daniel is a consultant at a very large consulting firm so he is not interested in dog walking as a means of supporting himself. He is interested because he loves dogs and he loves to hike.”

Tina P.
“I had the pleasure to meet Tina when she lived in PA couple years ago. She was our sitter. Both my dogs Rocco and Casey love her. She is a super sitter, such that every year on our way to Florida for vacation we drop them both at her place in VA. They love to spend time there with her. Neither of my dogs like to be in the kennel, but spending time at Tina’s provides them with special attention they require and the ability to exercise and run for a while each day. It’s like a vacation for them too! I have the peace of mind to know that they are well cared for and enjoy my vacation without concern. I can’t say enough of her dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend her!! Maria Alvarez Langhorne, PA”
Victoria O.
“Tori is wonderful caretaker of my three dogs while I’m out of town. She’s very patient and attentive to the dogs needs. She doesn’t just feed them and walk for potty breaks, she truly engages with the dogs by petting and playing with them. I can count on Tori to make sure my furbabies are well cared for when I’m away from home.”

Allison C.
“Allison is the BEST pet sitter ever. I have had many over the years. She loves to sit with my Tessa and just shower love on her. She is also really good at getting my animals to take their medications. I have a geriatric dog who has laser treatments for arthritis and needs to take about 18 pills a day and somehow Allison manages to find all the ones that my dog thinks she has hidden after she "pretends" to take them. I have Allison sleep over at my house when I am away for business as well. One time I was in the hospital for a stay that was supposed to be 3 days that ended up being 12. Allison made sure that my dog was taken care of even though I didn't have it scheduled with her and I know she was busy at the time. We also have a very fussy cat who makes a mess when she feels neglected. She has never once retaliated against us upon our returns from vacations when Allison is on the job. I trust her inherently with my animals. ”

Lauren P.
“Lauren is our go to sitter for our dogs. We have used her for 3 years now. She is reliable and responsible. She sends photos so we feel connected while away. Our dogs love her! Won’t use anyone else!”
Lauren J.
“For as long as I’ve known Lauren, which has been since the second grade, she’s loved animals. Her tiny dog, Abbey, is her baby by all means necessary. Let me tell you, Abbey is pampered with balance. There are few people that I would trust with my new puppy. Lauren is one of them. I hope she’ll be able to care for other dogs as much as she cares for her own. Plenty of people love dogs but caring for them is a completely different task all together. I know she’d be perfect for this opportunity. Best regards.”
