Rachael was amazing with my fur babies. It is so hard to find someone to trust but Rachael really made me feel at ease while on my trip, and my dogs made a new bff. We will definitely be booking with her again <3

I recently used Monique to look after our dog Maya and our two cats, and I couldn't be happier with the service! Maya was clearly well-exercised and happy, and our cats were relaxed and content when we returned. The communication was excellent, and Monique sent us regular updates and photos, which was very reassuring. I highly recommend Monique for anyone needing a caring and reliable pet sitter. Five stars!

I have been nervous for a while to use rover for my two kitties and Allison coming and staying at my house showed me why I did not need to be worried! Allison loved and cared for my cats so much! She gave them their daily medicines with food, worked with my automatic litter boxes, and most importantly played and loved on them so much! She was very very communicative and responsive and also sent me so many cute pictures! I always miss my cats so much when I’m gone so this helped me a lot! I also frequently asked how things were going and Allison was very responsive which helped reassure me! She also left my home neat and tidy how it was left for her which was nice to come home to! Allison rocks and I am so appreciative to have someone so kind and thoughtful taking care of my pets! It’s going to make leaving them to go out of town a little easier :) thank you so much Allison!!!!

About: I’ve grown up in a home with multiple pets and have extensive experience caring for animals. Over the years, neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. I’m also a four-time foster parent with the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA, where I’ve cared for animals in need and helped prepare them for adoption. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends to give your furry family my complete attention and care! I’m available anytime after 5:00 PM on Fridays through Sundays. I’m a true animal lover and will care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I prioritize being present and attentive to their needs, making sure they always feel safe and supported—wherever they are, I’m right there with them.

Steph is wonderful. She is considered and extremely polite. She took great care of our two boys and sent us daily updates and pictures. The boys looked happy and relaxed enjoying their time with Steph. She also took care of my hydrangeas that did not like the heat. We will definitely be using her when we are out of town again. Thank you Steph and Rover

This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.

Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic and we cannot thank her enough. Circumstances ended up being less than ideal as halfway through our trip hurricane Helene decided to hit, but she kept our babies safe and took care of our house the best she could. We would definitely trust her with house and pet sitting in the future and recommend her for anyone looking for top notch care.

Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.

She took amazing care of them while we were away and sent tons of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and well loved. Highly recommend!

Kyle did an amazing job caring for our dog! We reached out fairly last-minute, and he truly helped us out in a pinch. We weren’t sure how she would adjust to someone new in the house, but the updates we received made it clear she warmed up to him quickly. The regular messages put us at ease while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!
