“My animals were instantly comfortable with Morgan, including my geriatric dog who tends to take time to warm up to new people. I’m so grateful for her wonderful service!”

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: Hi! For many years, I was a Fear Free Certified veterinary assistant in Charlottesville, VA. I also have experience as a dog kennel manager, farm assistant & animal rescue volunteer/advocate. During my 10 years of petsitting work, i’ve learned how to make your pets as stress free as possible while your away. Petsitting is my full time job! It is easy for both myself & my clients to have such flexibility. I schedule my days off based off of my client’s bookings. I have studied animal medicine & behavior for. I am a Fear Free certified veterinary assistant. While sitting in your home, I stick to your pets’ schedule but am also happy to take your pets on additional fun activities when requested.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for around three years now. My family has two cats and two dogs that I've helped care for and train since they were young. I also have experience with older animals and their needs since one of my dogs and one of my cats are twelve. I currently don't have any other summer employment, so my schedule is open. I am available mornings, afternoons and late evenings every day of the week and weekends, just not for overnight care. I can stop by throughout the day to feed, play with, and let out animals. I can also do short or long walks with dogs or even cats!
“Brittany was AWESOME! I was so anxious leaving my dogs as I usually don’t do drop-in service but she really set my mind at ease. She was so kind and my dogs loved her and all the walks & trips to the dog park. She even kept my destructive/playful corgi from tearing apart his beloved tennis balls ? I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!!!”
About: While my last 10 years of employment have been in the schools and therapy centers, I have been caring for animals since I was about 10 years old. I grew up volunteering at dog training facilities and learning “tricks of the trade”. As a former cat owner and current dog owner, I am a firm believer that pets are a vital family member and deserve all the love and care that humans do (sometimes more). I have currently taken time off from being a full time school administrator to focus on my family. While my children are in school and activities, I am looking to spend time with animals and help others keep their pets well-taken care of while they may be away or working. I treat each pet as if they were my own, and perhaps even better than because I know the peace of mind it brings knowing they are cared for and loved. It is important to me that their emotional and physical needs are met, however best suits them and their owners.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. My girls Piper, Ella and Shelby are my world. I love these dogs like they are children. They are spoiled I will admit. I also have taken care of my friends dogs for years while they have been out of town and my house as "Aunt Paige's Doggie Camp" All my dogs I have brought up from puppies. I have house trained them, crate trained them and trained them on the invisible fence for the yard. They always get lots of love and have lots of toys to play with, both inside and outside. I work from home, so I'm always here to take them out and take care of them. My dogs are always outside when it's not too hot or the weather is bad. I live on a quite street which ends in a cul-da-sak. So I will walk them at least 2 times a day The most important thing is they must get along with other dogs. I have a invisible fence in my yard and can certainly put your dog on it if they are trained on one. Otherwise I will go out with them and walk them. If they are well trained and can be lose a return on command they can play in the yard with my girls.
“Dakota did a great job looking after our two cats. She was a real life saver when our last sitter had to drop out last minute. We would definitely hire her again!”
“MacKenzie enjoys her job! Followed directions well. She sent pictures and videos each day. Would recommend her and I plan to hire her again!”
“Excellent service and communication. Visits were handled as requested. Highly recommended and will use again.”
“Karen did a fantastic job with my dog . I received daily communication and my dog was well cared for !”
“These girls went above and beyond when I had some additional requests while I was away. I 1000% recommend them to anyone that is looking for someone that will take the time to treat your pets like their own. Will definitely be using them for more worry-free vacations.”
About: I bring along over 15 yrs of owning Pugs. I enjoy watching and walking my neighbors pets when they need an extra set of hands. I work only part time. I am available to do drop ins and walks. I can also feed and spend quality time with your fur baby..I will treat them as my own I will care for them in your home and the best to reassure they are cared for and loved. I can help with boarding if you have a need.
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: 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: 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.

Madelyn K.
“Look no further, Madelyn Kim is the gem of a person that you want caring for your dogs, cats, humans, yourself- you name it. I've know Madelyn for over 7 years, over that time she has house sat for me watching my cat, puppy - who is now a full grown dog and is entirely obsessed with her, and my home. Madelyn is honest, kind, responsive, timely, responsible, respectful, considerate, and an all around wonderful human being. She cares deeply for all life and treats all creatures, humans included, with the utmost respect. She once house sat for me, watching my 6 month old puppy and elderly cat, for what was supposed to be a long weekend in the winter. When I got snowed in and was unable to return home, Madelyn adjusted her life and stayed at my house, caring for my creatures, gardens, and home, for what ended up being 2 weeks in total. I cannot recommend her highly enough. 10 out of 5 stars.”

Christina B.Star Sitter
“Christina is a reliable and caring person. She LOVES all animals and treats them with love and kindness. She can be trusted to carryout what you ask her to do in taking care of your pets. She has a cat and dog (her pampered babies). In her back yard she feeds the birds, chipmunks, squirrels and and an occasional deer.”
lindsey g.
“Lindsey is an incredible pet sitter, and I couldn’t recommend her more! I usually worry when having someone watch Stella because she’s high maintenance, but with Lindsey, that thought doesn’t even cross my mind. She takes such great care of my beagle, treating her like one of her own. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that Stella is in loving and capable hands when I’m away. Lindsey is reliable, attentive, and truly understands animals. I always come home to a happy pup, and that means everything to me. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet like family, Lindsey is the one!”

“We LOVE Ashleigh! Deuce can’t hold himself still when he sees Ashleigh come over. She’s reliable, responsible and goes above and beyond to ensure my Deuce is not just taken care of but loved on too. She treats each dog as if it were her own. After spending all her life growing up with a dog and a cat here and there, she has become a very special and kind person who cares deeply about the care of animals of all kinds. Trustworthy should be her middle name. You can always count on her to go beyond what is expected. Highly recommend.”
Paige K.
“Paige has taken care of all of my dogs over the past 15 years. Whether my Lab, Great Danes or Doodles; she is always a familiar face to my fur babies. Her house is has plenty of space, a safe yard to play in and a loving caregiver each and every time I have dropped them off to Paige. I have never thought twice about leaving my animals in her care and never had a bad experience or report.”

Julia H.
“Julia has dog sit for me multiple times. One particular time, she stayed with my dog for a whole week while I was on vacation. She provided exceptional care for my sweet pup. Every day I was gone she would send me pictures and give me updates on how he was doing. My dog gets excited every time he sees her and she makes sure to spend extra time petting him and playing with him outside of her required duties...walking, feeding, etc. I have seen her interact with my dog as well as other animals, and I can tell she genuinely has a love for animals, and animals have a love for her. I would trust her with my dog any day and know that she would go above and beyond. Julia is the first person I ask when I need help with my pup. She is an excellent communicator and is very flexible. I would recommend Julia in a heartbeat, she is wonderful!”
