About: Hi! My name is Kylie, and I’m an animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have one cat, Nova, who keeps me company, but I grew up surrounded by animals, including cats & dogs. My professional experience includes working for 5 years as a kennel technician at a boarding kennel in Culpeper, where I cared for a wide variety of dog breeds, personalities, and energy levels. During my time there, I gained valuable experience with feeding, exercise, cleaning, monitoring pets’ health and behavior, and administering medications to dogs who needed them. I understand that every dog is different, and I strive to provide care that fits each pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply a little extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! I look forward to getting to know you and your furry friends. 🐾 I’m available anytime for drop-in visits to care for your pets, ensuring they receive the attention and love they need while you’re away. I appreciate your interest, but I currently do not provide pet care in my home. I focus on drop-in pet sitting for your furry friends.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had experience with animals since I was growing up. I had a dog, a rabbit, and birds, and I currently have a cat that I love and care for. My aunt and uncle also have a small farm with lots of roosters, so I often help them take care of the animals, raise them, and spend time playing with them. Caring for animals is more than just a responsibility to me; it is something I genuinely enjoy and have a passion for. I’m always willing to make time in my day to give animals the love, attention, and care they need. I always make an animal’s safety and well-being my top priority. I stay attentive to their needs and surroundings at all times, creating a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment.

“Alexis is a delight. I have 2 shy kitties. One is especially shy and rarely comes out when strangers are around. Both kitties warmed up to Alexis and came around for her visits. This is a major break through for my especially shy kitty. I had multiple deliveries during the time Alexis was taking care of my furbabies. All deliveries should have arrived before my departure but were delayed. Alexis brought each delivery in for me. Thank you, Alexis, for your kindness and thank you for caring for Poppy and Penny. Great job!”

“Claudia was wonderful! She helped us with our dog Suki for a month last minute when our other option fell through. We were also just moving back and our house was in chaos and it wasn’t an ideal situation. But she handled it all well by communicating with us regularly to let us know how Suki was doing or if she needed anything else to care for her. Lots of pictures! We are really grateful for her care. She went above and beyond.”

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sumerduck choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
