Megan was an amazing kitty sitter! My girls took to her immediately and she wrote the best reviews and took great photos to send to me while I was on vacation. 10/10 recommend 🥰

About: Some things that make my care stand out! 📸 Daily Updates: I provide daily photos, videos, and notes so you always know how your cat is doing. 🧼 Clean & Respectful: I’m tidy, respectful of your home, and always leave things the way I found them — or better. 💗 Patience & Trust: I take the time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious cats, never rushing interactions. Above all, I treat every cat like they’re my own — with love, patience, and attention to detail. Your cat’s comfort and happiness are my top priority. Pet care is a central part of my daily life — not just a side job, but something I genuinely love and prioritize. I structure my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, making sure I’m available when it matters most — especially during feeding times, medication schedules, or early/late visits. I treat every visit as a chance to bond, observe behavior, and make sure each cat is healthy, happy, and comfortable — whether it’s a quick check-in or just a little more time spending time with your pet to make them happy and have a little bit of company while you're away! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is maintaining a calm, familiar, and stress-free environment. I follow your pet's routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to preferred hiding spots — because consistency helps pets feel secure while you're away.

About: I fully believe pets are a part of our families and I love every pet as such. I started caring for animals at the age of 13 and loved it so much I started my own local dog sitting business! Currently I work at a doggie daycare and boarding place and I'm just as in love with that as well! I'm available most days to do daily check-ins and daily walks. I love building relationships with you and your pet! Unfortunately right now I am not in a place where I can board your pets. I love to take walks with dogs so long walks won't be a problem for me. I'm very good about keeping things clean even after they make messes, I will never leave a mess in your home or in your yard! Taking care of pets is my dream job and I'm so lucky to work with them everyday!

About: Hi, I’m Kayla! I’m looking to start dog walking during my lunch break during the week between 11ish am - 12ish pm in Ruckersville or the Hollymead area. I work from home Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I will travel up to 15 minutes from my home (given 30 minutes with your pet). I can also do walks after 4:30 pm, given a proper heads up to adjust my schedule. I am well trained with animals and was also a veterinary assistant out after college! I currently have a Morkie named Rocco. I’ve grown up with larger dogs such as German Shepherds, Bulldogs, and Labrador retrievers so I’ve very comfortable with dogs up to 115 pounds. I will also be available on some weekends with a two week advance notice with a little bit more flexible hours. I can’t wait to hear from you! Luckily with my job, I can take lunch whenever. I can work more with your schedule and walk your pet between 11 am - 2:00 pm and anytime after 4:30 pm on certain days. I have a fur baby as well, so I know exactly what it’s like trusting another person to care for your special pet. I will treat your pet just as my own!

About: Animals are my true heart and passion. I've had dogs my entire life, from min pins to mastiffs. There's no animal I won't truly love. I currently volunteer at a few local places and am not employed. I have a passion for all animals and a love of helping others. My animals are my children and are treated as such. Their safety and comfort comes before my own. I will treat your home and furry babies with love and respect.

About: Though I'm new to Rover, I've been pet-sitting for neighbors and friends for 10+ years! I've taken care of dogs, cats, llamas, goats, and more. I've lived my whole life with dogs and cats of all ages, so I'm familiar with puppy/kitten and senior care. I know how to give medications including oral, topical, and injectable. I love animals and I promise to give your pets the same love and compassionate care I give my own! I'm currently working part time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I may be able to accommodate some last-minute requests, especially for drop-ins or dog walking. I live in Greene County, but I commute to Harrisonburg when I'm working so I can potentially take bookings around that area as well. PLEASE NOTE: I cannot hold dates for a pending request indefinitely. If your intention is to book with me, please confirm the booking as soon as you can so I can update my availability accordingly both on Rover and with my other job. Prompt communication is greatly appreciated! I believe it's most ideal for your pet if they can stay in their home environment and keep to their usual routine while you're away. If your dog likes to visit a certain tree on all their walks, or your cat gets a treat at a specific time each day, let me know! Please also share any quirks, anxieties, medical problems, or anything else special about your pet so I can cater to their individual needs.

About: My family and I live on a "hobby" farm in the Stony Point area. I have grown up owning and caring for a variety of animals. We have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past fifteen years and have decided to open it up to new clients. Prior to that, I also have two decades of pet sitting experience. My experience includes; caring for animals with acute illness, injuries, wound care, and also caring for senior animals. We are happy to take in smaller animals like rabbits and guinea pigs - but not reptiles or birds. I work part-time just a few miles from my home. I am off during the summer months and over the holiday's - convenient for the traveling months. We have a large fenced in backyard. A first aid kit on hand specifically for animals. Your furry family members will have access to our home. (We do have crates available if that is your preference.) We do allow animals on the couch and bed - if that is what will make them happy during their stay. We have three sweet dogs that are used to the added friends that pass through from time to time.

About: I’ve taken care of many different size pets. Usually different dog breeds, everything from a yorkie to a bull mastiff. Older dogs 10 years plus and even puppies for a bit of time. Usually I provide weekend services unless they are allowed to be in a crate for an extended period of time. I prefer not to keep them in a crate. Usually I will drop my pet off at my parents house so it makes it easier to focus and stay on top of each pets needs.

About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. My family has 3 dogs, and for 3 years we fostered special needs dogs from the animal shelter: litters of puppies, sick dogs, pregnant dogs, and dogs with special medical needs. I volunteered as a dog walker at our animal shelter. I worked for a year at a dog boarding facility handling all aspects of dog care: feeding, medication, walks and play, cleaning. I attended puppy socialization and training classes with my own dogs. I am a college sophomore available for summer, weekend and holiday pet sitting in and near Greene County. I can be with your pets overnight from dinner time to after breakfast. I have a flexible part-time daytime job, so can return for daytime potty and visits as needed. I start by understanding your pets daily routine, medical and care needs, and your expectations. I will make a visit to introduce myself before your trip. While you are away, I will send regular updates and ask any questions.

About: I have lots of experience working at two different daycare and boarding kennels, both of which have given me extensive knowledge about dogs! I am skilled with ALL ages, sizes, and temperaments. I live with my boyfriend and take care of our cats and apartment while he is working, so I have plenty of time to play with your adorable pets! I will not be available on Tuesdays from 2-4 depending on distance, but that's all! I take care of and love all pets as if they're my own. I know how much people love their pets, as I have many of my own, and as such I hold myself to that standard of care.

Charne was awesome. First time using Rover so I was nervous about having someone I didn’t know taking care of my two dogs and being in my home but immediately after meeting Charne ,all of those feelings went away! She constantly kept me updated and sent me pictures so that I could see that my babies were ok. She was on time everyday and spent extra time with my Hank and Daisy. She was truly dedicated in providing and caring for both of my pets! I highly recommend Charne and will definitely be using her again whenever I’m away from home!!!

About: I have been caring for my own pets my whole life and started pet sitting around 3 years ago. I love working with animals! I can help with basic training during my stay with your fur babies. I am a full time pet sitter in Ball Ground, GA and surrounding areas. I accept house sitting visits twice a month and dog walking/ drop ins full time. Many people have trusted me to care for their home and their fur babies while they’re away. I offer house sitting so that your pups will feel comfortable in their own area and well cared for by a trusted sitter. I am able to care for other small house pets (excluding cats), or even outdoor farm animals if needed during my stay.

I am avaliable to fit pet care during the week, Monday- Friday, from 6 am to 6pm. I am pretty flexible on times and specific needs! I am happy to spend time walking your fur baby, tiring them out with fetch or a game, or being around them to keep them company.
