“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Hillary! We receive daily updates with photos. Our girl was given walks and lots of love and had a fun time while we were away! Thank you!”

Kudos to Cory and his family for making Gizmo one of their family .”


“Jackie was amazing when watching our dog for 2.5 weeks while we were out of the country. She had great communication and sent us pics throughout the time. Great location as well for dogs to stay! Our dog has 3 legs and Jackie had no issues watching our dog and was very accommodating with any special needs. Highly recommend Jackie!”


About: Ive grown up with animals and took an interest in training and sitting when I was around 10 years old. I have experience training and watching family dogs, reactive dogs, service dogs and puppies! I also have multiple animals of my own and am well versed in the different care that different species may need. When I am home, my attention is 100% on my animals. I do have a full time job in a neighboring city and am gone for normal work hours, but devote time and attention when I am home. In my own home, everybody has their own space. With dogs, cats and bunnies, each animal has the ability to socialize or spend time on their own in their space. Each animal has been trained to appropriately interact with each other.

“Amy did an amazing job taking care of our Luna! She did a great job communicating updates with plenty of pictures and videos. Luna got to go on hikes and became best friends with Amy’s sweet dog, Sylvie too! Amy had great attention to detail- Luna is a poodle so we always pack a brush in case it’s needed, but have no specific expectations with it, since it’s definitely labor of love! Amy is the first Rover sitter to actually brush her! We would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking to board their pup!”


“We are absolutely thrilled with the care Ashley provided for Tilly while we were away. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for dogs made our trip so much more relaxing, knowing Tilly was in good hands. Ashley went above and beyond, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet owner looking for top-notch boarding services. Thank you, Ashley, for treating Tilly like part of your family!”


“Nicole did a great job with Ruby. She was attentive to Rubys needs, gave timely updates and was open to me bringing Ruby's baby pool. Nicole was very professional and I highly recommend her to others.”


About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of animal behavior across all ages and species. With hands-on experience caring for everything from playful puppies to gentle senior pets — as well as exotic companions like parrots — I adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to keep pets on their regular routine and give them consistent attention. I’m comfortable with crate training, potty training, administering medication, and supporting senior dogs or animals with special needs. Every pet in my care is treated like family — safe, understood, and genuinely loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I’m able to build my schedule around the pets in my care — whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet companionship. My own pets have taught me the importance of consistency and attention, so I’m always mindful of keeping each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home here. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have an underground fence system with extra collars for dogs who are trained to use it. Otherwise, all outside time is fully supervised, whether on a leash or in the yard. Inside, my home is pet-friendly, calm, and set up to give animals their own space if they need it. I keep things clean, low-stress, and consistent with whatever routine they’re used to. I’m always nearby since I work from home, so your pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day.

“We couldn't be happier with the care Sierra provided for our Bernedoodle! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident he was in great hands. Sierra kept my family updated with regular photos that showed just how much fun he was having. It was such a relief and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Sierra’s exceptional support during our unexpected travel delay really set her apart. After we missed a connecting flight due to delays, we had no choice but to stay overnight in a hotel. Sierra graciously extended our dog's stay on very short notice without any hesitation. It was a lifesaver, and we’re incredibly grateful for her flexibility and kindness. When I picked him up, it was clear he had a great time. He was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Thank you, Sierra, for being so incredible. We would absolutely trust you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter!”


About: My name is Callie (apologies for the typo, I am trying to get it fixed). I have over four years of experience taking care of my own personal animals. I have lived with animals since elementary school and am trusted by family and friends to care for their animals as well. I work from home and can be available for your animals at all times. Dogs are available to play in our fenced in yard during the day and we love going for walks in the cool evenings. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to play in and two dogs of my own who get along great with other animals! I am also available to drop into your home and take your dogs out for play time/potty breaks or ensure you cat is being fed and their little box stays clean.

“Rylee was welcomed and taken great care of. Leaving her with others is a big deal for us, Arie, Leigh and the kids took great care of her. They sent us pics and updates over the weekend, we felt very safe with her there.”


About: Hi folks! I’ve been around family and friends pets for years and it finally dawned on me, why not watch others as well? I love dogs and I love walking around Staunton. It’s a perfect fit! Just getting started here on Rover, but if you give me the chance, your dog will get love, exercise, and attention when you need it most! My apartment is small, but I can board here, although, I prefer to stay at yours for boarding. I am available currently everyday except Sunday for walks or pet sitting. Right now my schedule is pretty open and I would really like to hangout with your dog! I live in an apartment, but am right next to a church where dogs play and can be walked. I can board here, althoughI prefer to come to your home if overnights are needed.

Calkse O.
“I have known Callie for 10 years and she has always been an extremely caring person with a soft spot for animals. I lived with her after we graduated college and she was always the friend who was more than willing to dog sit for our friends while they were out of town. Now years later, my boyfriend and I have a dog who loves to come with me every time I visit. Callie has watched Benz for us several times, including an entire week while we were at the beach and he always has the best time! She has two dogs of her own who she adores and are both very friendly towards humans and other dogs. They have tons of toys so Benz always makes himself right at home. She also has a huge fenced in backyard that’s perfect for the dogs to run and play in. We always get tons of pictures and updates while we’re away. I know it’s never easy to leave your pets while traveling or on vacation but you’ll feel so much better knowing they’re in good hands with Callie!”

Melissa H.Star Sitter
“Melissa is a big animal lover like me. If you are in and around Staunton, I can't recommend her enough to walk, watch or take care of your pet! Friendly, reliable, hard working, reasonably priced, and available at a moments notice, what's not to like? Besides, the dogs and cats love her! They should know, right? Before you go on vacation, put yourself at ease and give her a try. After the first hire, she'll be your permanent pet sitter moving forward.”

Dana was amazing and took such good care of Bentley while we were on vacation! She communicated daily and sent us adorable pictures that let us know he was living his best life while we were away. He was very happy and content when he came home. I would 100% recommend her and would use her again the next time we go away.
