House Sitting Shenandoah

“I cannot recommend Rayven enough! She is everything you could want in a pet/home sitter and more. From our meet and greet to the end of the home sitting visit, it was clear she is clean, caring, attentive, very comfortable with all animals, and consistently goes above and beyond. My cat normally takes some time to warm up to new faces but Rayven almost immediately bonded with our Princess, which was a huge green flag! She was so flexible and understanding when our flight got delayed and we needed her to stay for a while longer. In a stressful situation, she was one thing I did not have to worry about. She provided constant updates on our cat’s well being. She even turned on some cat friendly videos when she left since she knew it would be a few hours before we got home. I will be using Rayven for all our cat-sitting needs.”

“Once again Norma was amazing! She was so flexible with us having to change our flight and stay later than anticipated. Leonard, our cockapoo just adores her and her pup Foxy. We love Norma!”

“Kathleen (Kathy) was excellent! The "boys" were well taken care of by Kathy. She was very attentive to one dog's medicines and making sure that they both went out regularly. I would definitely recommend her for your pet-sitting/house-sitting needs.”

“Once again, Zoe went above and beyond! We came home to happy pets and total peace of mind. It’s such a relief knowing our fur babies are in the hands of someone so responsible, loving, and reliable. The updates and photos throughout the stay were a bonus, and we could tell our pets were truly comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely—thank you for treating our home and pets like your own!”

“Abby did a great job taking care of my little girl Millie. She stayed all night and most of the day as she was able to work from home using my Wi-Fi. She walked her and fed her twice a day. I’ve never left her alone overnight before as I’ve only had her five months now and I didn’t want her to be lonely so I felt comfortable leaving her with Abby. Millie seem very comfortable with Abby from the start she was very friendly with Milly. Abby would send me pictures,and Millie looked very happy. Communication went well and responded immediately. I will definitely use Abby again in the future when needed and would highly recommend her for anyone with their pets. She seems to really love animals and enjoy taking care of them.”

“Dominic was amazing. He was kind, respectful and responded promptly. One of my dogs has high anxiety and tends to hide from sitters, with him it is not an issue. He made sure they were played with, felt comfortable, and that they got more than enough attention. It was obvious that the dogs were happy and after we got home they promptly fell asleep after the excitement of our return wore out. Both of the dogs are very hyper and usually take a long walk before bed.”

About: Caring for animals isn’t a side gig for me—it’s what I do every day. I’ve been hands-on with dogs since I was 8 years old, and I currently work with dogs in a professional care setting, handling a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Along with dog care, I have solid experience caring for cats, including feeding routines, litter maintenance, medication support, and respecting different temperaments—from social cats to more independent or shy ones. I understand that cats need patience, consistency, and a calm approach just as much as dogs do. I’ve also fostered puppies through local rescue efforts, helping them build confidence, structure, and social skills before transitioning to their forever homes. I prioritize safety, routine, and trust, and I treat every pet like my own. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and genuinely animal-savvy—not just a sitter who “loves pets”—I’m a great fit! I’m a college student but take my classes online and currently work with dogs, so my schedule is structured, flexible, and built around consistent care. I plan my days to accommodate feeding times, walks, enrichment, and check-ins without rushing. I’m comfortable with early mornings, mid-day visits, and evening care, and I’m intentional about keeping pets on their normal routines. Because animal care is already a core part of my week, caring for client pets fits in naturally and reliably. I have a large fenced in yard and three other playful pups to keep your fur baby company! I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each pet.

“We had Ekaterina stay in our home and watch our dog while we traveled. She came to our house to meet and I knew right away I would book her. She was lovely, great communication, and just seemed like a genuinely nice person. My boys loved her videos and pictures she sent us while away. ! Our flight coming home was delayed another 24 hours and after reaching out to her to stay another night she responded right away and had no problem staying! We truly appreciated her accommodating our last minute flight headache and would 100% book her again! Our dog Cali seemed in great spirits when we got home and I knew she was taken well care of. Thanks again Ekaterina! 😃”

“For a first-time Rover user with a slightly anxious Cat, it was important for me to find the right sitter. Cherie is kind, empathetic and caring and set my mind at rest. I asked for more communication and she kept me updated on how my cat was doing. I plan to use her again in the coming weeks, but from this initial experience, I highly recommend Cherie to anyone looking for a genuine and warm cat sitter who takes care of your pet (and home) in a personable and trustworthy manner. Thank you, Cherie!”

“This was the first time I’ve ever left my sweet girl with someone other than a family member or friend! He is super kind and took amazing care of our girl Gracie and loved her like his own which was exactly what we were looking for. He sent us pictures and videos on our trip and communicated thoroughly! Will definitely use him again we loved having him!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals—including dogs, cats, and chickens—for nearly all of my 28 years. What started as a lifelong love for animals has naturally grown into a passion for caring for them. I also have experience caring for elderly animals and understand that senior pets may need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. My background in healthcare has taught me the importance of being observant, dependable, and attentive to individual needs—qualities I bring to every pet in my care. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I strive to give every animal the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own pets. My goal is to make our time together fun, comfortable, and stress-free while treating your pets like part of my family. 🐾❤️ I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I do work a full-time job, with three days in the office and two days working from home. My schedule is flexible, however, and I’m able to work around most pet care needs and schedules. I’m available full-time Thursday through Sunday, making me especially flexible for weekend stays, walks, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to coordinate weekday care around my work schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make scheduling easy and convenient while providing reliable, consistent care for your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and take the time to understand their individual routines, personalities, and needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I respect their familiar environment and do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring, responsible hands and are receiving the same love and attention they would receive from you.

“Kira was very thorough and detail-oriented. All of my animals loved her, even with their strange personalities. She sent me a lot of updates and made sure we knew what was going on all the time. I would definitely hire her again!”

“My husband and I have never used Rover before and always took our dogs to a pet hotel for weekend trips but after our experience with Jazmin we are never going back to pet hotels! She really went above and beyond for our pets. We booked her for house sitting and drop ins over the 2 week Christmas break while my husband and I went out of town and she was extremely respectful and communicative throughout the whole process. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and got along great with my Great Dane and Biewer terrier and followed all the instructions we left her. She sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were gone and gave us peace of mind knowing our babies were well taken cared of and in the comfort of their own home. I will 1000% hire Jazmin again for any of our pet sitting needs!”

“Shanna did an amazing job taking care of our three fur babies! She kept us updated throughout our time away and made sure we knew how each one was doing. She even went above and beyond by giving one of our pups a bath when he was feeling a little itchy. It was clear that she truly cared for them and treated them like her own. Honestly, I think our pups were almost disappointed to see us come home so soon because they were having such a great time with her! We also came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left it, which was such a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend Shanna and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”

“Darlenne did a wonderful job watching our puppy for an overnight stay! She was responsive, reliable, and made us feel at ease leaving her in our home. Our puppy was happy and well-cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Marie was amazing with our three dogs! She sent us the perfect amount of pictures and updates and followed all of our directions as we intended. We came home to a spotless house and three very happy pups. Our dogs are not the easiest to watch, but she understood them and their personalities and handled it perfectly. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Sawyer is a great sitter who looked over our dog very well. Super kind and knowledgeable. Not to mention a great artist!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many breeds/age and size for years now. Same goes for cats as well! I also own my own chihuahua for 15 years now. I own my own company so I always know my schedule. And I am doing rover as a part time, when I am not busy with work because I am an animal lover and this was the best fit for my spare time! I do not do at my own home, due to my dog being so old I don’t want to stress her. When I do visits, I let your dogs outside when needed and stay out to make sure they have used the restroom before coming back in and also have their bowls already ready for breakfast and dinner. I always clean the bowls afterwards too because of bacteria. I always show your pets so much love when I am with them because I know they miss their owner and remind them each time, day of their owner coming home, that their owner will be home today, they love it and of course already know somehow!
