“Jessica is great with our animals! She also really helped me out last minute when we had a family emergency. Thank you so much and looking forward to having you watch the pups!”


About: Since I was a child, I have been helping my family and friends pet sit and take care of their dogs! More recently, I help take care of my roommates dog, whenever my roommate is working or out of town! I love to learn all about dogs and figure out how to ensure they live life to the fullest! I currently have a very open schedule! So I can be here for you and your pets pretty much whenever! I am able to work with your own schedule. I will make sure to take all the necessary precautions to ensure your pet is safe and happy! I will try my hardest to accommodate your pets needs as well as your own! If I feel as if I cannot give the best care possible, I will let you know beforehand.

“Carly was an excellent communicator. She took lots of photos of the pets and wrote up a detailed account of her visit. She asked good questions at our meet and greet which gave me confidence in that she knows what she is doing.”


About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I am an empty nester and would love to care for your four legged family members while you are away. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

“Anitra is consistently a wonderful caretaker and friend for Kali. She goes above and beyond and brought her a special toy. Thank you Anitra! Highly recommend as she is communicative and an animal lover.”


About: I love animals! I have been around them forever, and in school studying to become a Veterinary Technician :) I am always open for play dates! I work Monday-Friday at Sammie’s Friends, but am available after 5pm for short dog/cat sitting. I am available weekends so any trips you want to take I’ve got you and your furry companion covered. I am very attentive and will make sure your pet is cared for and safe. Whether they are high energy and need more play time, or animals who just need some extra TLC.

“Majesty was extremely responsive and a great resource for an admittedly last minute request for a pop in to let our dogs out while we were at a Christmas party. I felt that our house instructions were read and acknowledged thoroughly, and majesty was communicative and reliable about showing up on time. We’ll definitely hire majesty again.”


About: I love being with older and disabled animals. I have my experience from working in Animal Shelters for about 2 years, doggie daycares, pet crematories and also petsitting for different companies and myself over 20 yrs. I am a full time traveling pet/housesitter with my 14 yr old pup. I have owned many animals throughout my life and have experience with meds, subQ fluids, end of life, aggressive dogs/cats and finicky pets. I'll treat your babies as if they were mine! I can also share many reviews from other platforms upon request. I am always available to help you out with your fur babies anytime! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. Everyday, any time I will follow all directions given in writing on how to care best for your sweet baby. I can do walks, playtime, exercise, training, massage and reiki and anything else needed!

About: I had a pug for 17 years (senior) and she was my best friend. I will always care for your pet as if they were family. I have a flexible job so I can care for pets around my schedule. I can come after work or on my days off. Thanks! I would prefer to care for your pets in your home. There they are comfortable and familiar and safe in their space. I won't be taking any pets to my home at this time.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I have worked at two animal shelters caring for all kinds of dogs with many different temperaments. I have a wonderful 8 year old dog that I got as a puppy. I took him to training classes and socialized him so I have a lot of experience in this realm. I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving environment for the animals in our lives. I'm currently in grad school at UVa and have more flexibility right now. I can be over early and stay late depending on your proximity. I am currently only accepting requests in the pets own home, so I trust the pet owners to provide me with the information I need to make sure your pet is safe and happy at home. Do they have special toys they like to play with? Treat and trick time? A special walk route? You let me know what makes your dog happiest and I will stick to that!

Logan F.
“Logan took care of my Shepard Husky mix for over 2 weeks last May and stayed in my house. Every day she sent me videos and pictures of my dog running and playing with her dog Dakota on the trails and napping in the sun. I could hear Logan's voice- loving, playful and nurturing. I could tell that my dog felt safe and happy and loved- which is worth so much for me. In fact, the day I left for my trip, Smosia, my dog, went over to Logan and got up into her lap as I was leaving. She LOVED Logan. I also completely trusted Logan to take care of my dog which helped ,e relax and enjoy my vacation. She is a natural with animals- some people just have it and Logan has it. My dog never went without plus she had a playmate- Dakota- who is the sweetest, most mellow and beautiful creature. She easily bonds with other animals and is not aggressive or confrontational. Smosia has no problem inviting her into her home after they had a nice walk together and met. Logan also took really good care of my home. Logan is responsible, genuinely loving and caring of animals, very experienced and very respectful. I highly recommend her and Dakota with your animals and home.”


Rene R.
“Rene' is reliable and dependable. She has taken care of my dogs numberous times and she does an excellent job. She is a caring and kind pet sitter and I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with pet sitting or house sitting. Sincerely, Brenda K.”


Elizabeth V.
“Elizabeth possesses the ideal traits of an excellent dog sitter: she is responsible, knowledgeable about caring for and training dogs, and unconditionally loves every dog she ever encounters. Her experience working at the Humane Society speaks to her ability to kindly care for and responsibly handle dogs of all ages and all different demeanors. There is no doubt in my mind that she will be my number one choice of dog sitter when I have a dog of my own. ”


Paola P.

“Paola has taken excellent care of my cat on several occasions. She is super attentive and aware of his particular (and sometimes changing) needs and "personality."”
Starbright Acres pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amy was a wonderful sitter for our cat, Garbanzo! She was very communicative and easy to talk to and get along with. She spent some extra time during one of her drop ins which was great. Garbanzo seemed a lot less anxious this time around, I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!
