Highly-rated overnight sitters - Woodwind
“This was our first pet sitting booking with Dara. Our dog enjoyed her stay with Dara and there lots of other dogs for her to play with. Dara sent pics and updates too. Will definitely book with her again for pet sitting services.”
“This was our second visit for my two dogs and they loved her and her little girl. She is a great dog sitter, we love that she took such good care of them and we will definitely use her again!”
“Angela was fantastic! This was the first time we’ve ever left our dog with someone not family and he was treated like he was one of her own. She made us feel at ease with leaving him. She made sure he got his medicine each time he ate and sent us updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely reach out again when we’re in need!”
“Kashawna was kind, responsive, loving, and exactly what my four legged kid needed! Our baby is high maintenance with insulin twice a day, pain meds once a day, and snuggles all day. Kashawna and her family loved on her and took great care of her while I was on vacation. 10/10 recommend!”
“Once again Lauren and Jonathan did an amazing job taking care of Chuck Norris the doodle. We always know that he is in great hands and is having a great time when he’s with them. Thanks for hanging out with Chuck Norris”
“Andrea was very helpful guiding me through the process of Rover. As a first time user, I wasn’t sure how everything worked and she explained everything completely. She welcomed my two fur babies into her home for a week while my husband and I were out of the country. I was a little hesitant since it was my first time leaving them with anyone, but she was very reassuring that they were in good hands. While away she messaged us with updates and pictures. Upon picking them up she told us how much she enjoyed watching them. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking.”
“Jaclyn and her family were great with lulu. Lulu had a great time with them and their pup Tyson. Nice big yard for her to run around in and played great with Tyson. I have never seen my dog snuggle up to our other dog at home, like she did with Tyson! Will defineately book again with them. They were overall amazing!!! Definitely recommend to other rover users.”
“This was our first time using the app Rover & are so happy that we had an amazing experience booking with Keanu & Jazmine for 6 days! We will definitely be booking with them again in the future for our boy Bear :)”
“Jen was great with my puppy Becca! Our 12 week old puppy can be lots of fun but also with lots of puppy nipping and high energy playing. I’m sure she required much more attention than a grown dog and Jen was great with it all. Great communication before and during the 3 day stay. She kept me up-to-date and sent lots of pics. I would highly recommend Jen and her family!”
“We are so grateful for “Grandma” Cristina. She treats our fur baby Roz like her own, and we love knowing that our pup is being taken care of so well while we travel. Plus, Roz has made lots of new furry friends at Cristina’s home and gets plenty of exercise and playtime.”
“I’m very happy with the care Rufo received. It was my first time leaving him with sitters, and they made me feel completely at ease. They kept me updated with photos and videos, and I could tell Rufo was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book with them again”
“Tara has had taken care of my cane Corso puppy juju three times now. We absolutely love her. She takes great care of her and keeps me update everyday throughout the day. Any time I’m looking for a sitter she will always be my first choice.”

“Chino was well taken care of while I was away. Chino is shy and when I picked her up she did not seem shy at all with them, especially with Shannon's lovely daughter.

“Cassy is absolutely amazing—responsible and caring. She took the best care of my baby cat and treated her like her own. I received detailed updates, photos, and messages every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would trust her again!”
“Dee was exceptional! I can't say I've EVER seen my cats be so cool with someone new, so quickly. I never had any worries while we were gone on our vacation. Thank you for everything! I will definitely rebook!”
“We left our sweet kitty Elora with Angela and her family over Christmas. We were very grateful for her to accommodate her and bring her into her families celebration. Elora seemed to get along just fine with her and her animals and came home just as content as when we dropped her off. The only thing I would mention for anyone with chemical sensitives Elora did come home smelling like a lot of artificial fragrances as did everything we dropped her off with and needed a good bath (she was not pleased about that) as we are chemical sensitive. This has nothing to do with the quality of care, and the genuine heart of Angela and her family just something to be aware of for those who have chemical sensitivities to artificial fragrances which is why I have rated 4 stars.”
“Very pleased with the care that James gave my dog! He showed up on time, followed everything I asked, and made the whole experience stress-free. It really put me at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use him again!”
About: While I am primarily a dog owner, I am comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and spending time with cats to ensure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I respect their individual comfort levels—whether they enjoy playtime and attention or prefer a quieter visit. My goal is to provide reliable care, maintain their routine, and give owners peace of mind through updates and photos during each visit.
“Ari is super sweet and our guys really liked her. She made sure we didn’t have to worry about them when we couldn’t be home to check in on them. I definitely would recommend Ari for anyone needing their pets looked after!”
“My cats (and I) love Jonathan. He plays with and pets them during each visit and always sends lots of pictures! He brings in our packages and mail and does those little extras that are so special. I 100% trust him with my kitties ( most important) and in my house!! He is wonderful! You will be very happy you chose him.”
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
“Isabella was a terrific choice to care for our five cats. We appreciated her efforts to ensure our more shy, older cats were fed, while our younger cats devoured their dinner. She definitely met all of our cat sitting needs while we were away from home. We would gladly have Isabella return.”
About: I have had dogs all of my life since I was 4 years old. I didnt start to take up the responsibility to take care of them until I was about 7 or 8 years old. I have had a range of dog breeds and sizes in my care from a golden retriever to a toy Aussie. I love take care, play and just hang out with animals. I currently work as a middle school teacher so my summers are pretty free! Whether it’s a one day check in or a vacation, I will happily spend my summer with your pups! I will follow whatever needs you have for your dog(s) whether I have to house sit, walk, or just hang out with your animal for the day. I want to make sure you are comfortable with the care I give them.
About: As a certified cat care specialist, I take pride in understanding and catering to each feline's unique personality.

My time are tailored to your cat's needs, whether that's play, gentle brushing, or simply providing a calm, comforting presence. I am very detail-oriented and will follow your routine closely to ensure your cat feels safe and relaxed while you're away.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Ariel provided to our cats. This was a last minute booking due to one of our cats needing heart medication twice a day while we were on vacation. Ariel not only cared for our boy but she made sure he was getting his meds as needed along with checking in each day with photos. Def will book again with Ariel if needed in the future.”
About: I was a dog groomer for over a year and worked in a dog store for 3 years and am able to read body language well and am very informed most things that come to your dogs needs. I spend as much time with my dog as I can everyday. I brush her, play ball, and pet her every single day and always give her lots of cookies. I take my dog to dog parks to play with her and have give her lots of treats! I brush my dog everyday and always have a cuddle time.
About: I am passionate about providing peace of mind to pet owners knowing they can leave their fur babies in the comfort of their own home, or mine, to be cared for while they are away, rather than a stressful boarding facility. I have experience with a large variety of pets and am very comfortable with the differences animals can have. From the shy guys who need a little patience, to the seniors who need a little extra tlc, to the puppies still learning their manners❤️ I currently work part time as a caregiver and have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy providing quality pet care for clients needing daily walks or vacation care. I pride myself on caring for others pets the same way I care for my own. Quality care, trust and reliability are of the utmost importance to me.
“House was kept clean. Water fountain replenished. Most importantly, my babies appear to be happy and doing well. Rachel does a wonderful job sending many pictures during each visit showing feedings and play time.”

About: I've always liked to rescue animals and care for them from a young age. So lots of my family and friends would bring animals to me or trust me to petsit for them. I've not only cared for dogs and cats, but also turtles, toads, and a few birds. I'm currently solely attending classes so I have plenty of availability for your pets to always feel well cared for during their stay with me! I have a fenced patio, luckily there are a few pet friendly parks that surround me. I follow any instructions given for your pet care to a T since no one knows your pet like you do. I have a housemate, but she is just as loving to any animal brought in.

“Hayley and her husband were lifesavers for me today. I had to start a job and only had about twenty minutes to find someone. They were ready and willing. My baby girl had such a great day that she was asleep before we got to their stop sign! ??. I would definitely use them again.”
“Absolutely amazing job! I will definitely be using her the next time I'm in need of this service. As someone with an ESA pet, his will being is important to me and she made the day worry free.”
“Tara was great. She was waiting for Pickles at drop off and walked her several times. Frequent updates during the day were greatly appreciated. Waiting at pickup time made going home transition easy. Highly recommend Tara. She anticipates what owners want and delivers. An awesome sitter.”

About: I love animals! I grew up with pets and have helped care for them since I was about ten years old. For the past three years I’ve been boarding pets regularly at my home :) I’m a stay at home parent, so I’m home most days all day! Occasionally I take my child to activities but I’m never gone from the house for more than 4 hours. I have a large fenced in backyard and a kid who loves animals too! I have years of experience caring for pets and will treat your pet like they’re my own :)
About: Hello there! I'm Razelle, your local dog walker reporting for duty! I'm here to make sure your pup gets the best care possible. I currently do remote work and have found plenty of dedicated time to do something I really enjoy on the side. As a certified Rover pro, I provide all sorts of services. From dog walking to house sitting and drop-in visits. But what sets me apart from the rest of the sitters is my passion for your dog’s well-being. I've had countless reviews on Rover and other platforms commenting that I treat their dog as my own. If you have training regimes or a set schedule, you can count on me to get it done! I also incorporate basic obedience training during our walks [if requested]. I teach simple commands like "Heel," "Look," and "Sit" to keep your pup focused and obedient, even in the face of distractions. This can be important when facing unexpected encounters! FRIENDLINESS WITH OTHERS REQUIRED: Safety is a top priority for me, as I understand that your dog's well-being is of the utmost importance to you. For this reason, I am unable to care for dogs with a history of attacking other dogs or humans. Furthermore, if your dog exhibits any aggressive behavior during a visit, I will be unable to continue caring for them in the future. This policy ensures the safety of all dogs and humans in my care and allows me to provide the best possible service to you and your furry companion. WALKING SUPPLIES? To ensure that your dog's walk is safe and enjoyable, please make sure that your pup has a well-fitted collar or harness, and that you have poop bags and a leash at the ready. While shoes are not required, I recommend them for added safety and comfort during your dog's adventure. Thank you for helping me provide the best possible care for your pup! Disclaimer: Ensuring that your dog's collar or harness is well-fitted is crucial to their safety during walks. If I determine that the collar or harness cannot be properly adjusted to fit your dog securely, I will be unable to walk your furry friend, as this increases the risk of your dog getting loose and running away. Please be mindful of the fit of your dog's collar or harness before scheduling a walk to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your pup. SCHEDULE? Monday-Friday: 6 AM - 11 PM Weekends: 6 AM - 11 PM *Times subject to change according to the sunrise/sunset* --------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ: *WILL YOU SEND UPDATES OF MY DOGS?* You betcha! At the end of every walk or stay, I'll send you a detailed report on how your furry friend fared. You can expect to see all the commands we used during our walk, the exciting experiences your pup had, and of course, plenty of adorable photos from our time together. Who knows, you might even find yourself printing out the report and hanging it up on your fridge for all to see! *I HAVE NEVER LEFT MY DOG BEFORE, WILL HE OR SHE BE OKAY?* It is natural for some dogs to experience separation anxiety when being cared for by someone new. As a professional dog walker, I do my utmost to ensure that each dog feels comfortable and at ease with plenty of interaction and attention. It is not uncommon for new surroundings to disrupt a dog's digestive system, resulting in loose stools. However, there is no cause for alarm as this is a normal reaction to a change in routine. Typically, after 1-2 visits, the dog's digestive system will adjust, and any issues will resolve. It is important to note that the level of reaction varies depending on the dog's unique personality and temperament. *WHAT IF MY DOG IS SPECIAL NEEDS?* I am able to care for nearly ALL special needs dogs! 1) Allergies: Please let me know of any beforehand! 2) Medicine: info must be written on a note alongside food, with dosage, etc. (non-medical injections such as insulin is okay. In the state of Virginia, medical/complex injections require specific qualifications/certifications, which I do not have.) 3) Diapers are okay 4) Blind or Deaf? I’ve cared for several blind/deaf dogs and they’re always great! 5) Paralyzed: I have experience with a pitbull who was paralyzed from the waste down due to an incident. I kept up with physical therapy, indoor accidents, cleaning/caring, hand feeding. 5) Something Else? Let me know *HOW WILL MY DOGS BE CARED FOR?* When caring for your pup during visits and stays, their personality is my top priority. I will adjust my activity level according to their specific needs to ensure their safety and comfort. In the case of inclement weather or unfortunate situations that may cause your pup to get dirty, rest assured that I will have a towel or wipes readily available to clean them up. You can trust that I will provide the utmost care for your furry friend. Disclaimer: Please note that dogs can learn from their canine companions during visits. However, I cannot be held responsible for any habits that your dog may pick up from other dogs. Additionally, I cannot be held liable if your dog decides to consume unusual debris or objects during our visit. It is essential to keep a close eye on your dog and guarantee their safety at all times. *GROOMING?* Although I don't do grooming myself, I don't mind picking up and dropping your dog off at your preferred groomer/grooming salon for $10 each way. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any injuries/damages/harm the grooming salon may cause to your dog. Please make sure that this is a groomer/salon that you TRUST. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT MY DOG Meet Suki, my adorable 3 year old Blue Merle Border Collie! She's sweet as honey and loves everyone, including cats, dogs, and humans of all ages. I can't guarantee she won't lick you to death, but hey, that's just her way of saying hello! I'm pretty strict when it comes to Suki's diet and exercise routine. She gets fed twice a day with a slow feeder to avoid any mishaps, and I make sure to keep her brain active with mentally stimulating games when we're not out and about. Speaking of which, we hit the dog park 3-5 times a week and go on hikes and runs at the lake. Suki's a ball of energy and loves playing fetch, so be prepared to throw that ball a few times! Now, let me be honest with you. It's highly unlikely, but on occasion, Suki might come along for a walk or a drop-in visit and hang out in my car. Don't worry, she's super chill and won't leave any fur behind. But if you're not cool with it, just let me know, and I'll make sure she stays home, catching up on her favorite TV shows or something. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you want to chat about your pet concerns and their needs. Again, I am home mostly all of the day. Anything else you would want to tell me I would love to hear! Monday: 6 AM - 11 PM Tuesday: 6 AM - 11 PM Wednesday: 6 AM - 11 PM Thursday: 6 AM - 11 PM Friday: 6 AM - 11 PM Saturday: 6 AM - 11 PM Sunday: 6 AM - 11 PM *Times subject to change depending on the sunrise/sunset* UNAVAILABLE DATES: August 11th, 17th, 2024 September 13th-15th, 2024 December [PENDING] As a professional pet sitter, I am willing to do some serious acrobatics to keep your home spick and span, even if your furry friend decides to have a little accident. Let me know what your preferences are, and I'll do my best to accommodate them!

My dogs are never outside unsupervised and I always am watching them to ensure their safely and mine. I take safety very seriously with my animals.

I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I am passionate about providing peace of mind to pet owners knowing they can leave their fur babies in the comfort of their own home, or mine, to be cared for while they are away, rather than a stressful boarding facility. I have experience with a large variety of pets and am very comfortable with the differences animals can have. From the shy guys who need a little patience, to the seniors who need a little extra tlc, to the puppies still learning their manners❤️ I currently work part time as a caregiver and have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy providing quality pet care for clients needing daily walks or vacation care. I pride myself on caring for others pets the same way I care for my own. Quality care, trust and reliability are of the utmost importance to me.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs! I’ve helped raise and train puppies, so I’m comfortable reinforcing routines and handling high-energy dogs. I also adopted an anxious rescue dog from a shelter and fostered 3 shelter dogs, which taught me a lot about patience, reading behavior, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I’m dependable, attentive, and flexible with scheduling, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I know every dog is different, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and comforting around! I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re away with plenty of photos and communication. My schedule is currently very flexible as a Clemson graduate and nursing assistant, which allows me to accommodate weekday and weekend bookings. I’m able to adjust my routine around pet care needs, including morning, midday, and evening visits or walks. I’m reliable with timing and will make sure your dog’s routine is followed consistently so they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and trusting environment for every dog I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort levels, especially for anxious dogs or pets adjusting to a new person. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own.

“Angela was fantastic! This was the first time we’ve ever left our dog with someone not family and he was treated like he was one of her own. She made us feel at ease with leaving him. She made sure he got his medicine each time he ate and sent us updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely reach out again when we’re in need!”
“Kashawna was kind, responsive, loving, and exactly what my four legged kid needed! Our baby is high maintenance with insulin twice a day, pain meds once a day, and snuggles all day. Kashawna and her family loved on her and took great care of her while I was on vacation. 10/10 recommend!”

I have never seen my dog snuggle up to our other dog at home, like she did with Tyson! Will defineately book again with them. They were overall amazing!!! Definitely recommend to other rover users.”
“Jen was great with my puppy Becca! Our 12 week old puppy can be lots of fun but also with lots of puppy nipping and high energy playing. I’m sure she required much more attention than a grown dog and Jen was great with it all. Great communication before and during the 3 day stay. She kept me up-to-date and sent lots of pics. I would highly recommend Jen and her family!”

“Andre and her family did a fantastic job caring for our mini bernedoodle! Andre was prompt with all communication and scheduling was easy. Her home is welcoming and Biscotti really enjoyed playing with their sweet lab and snuggling her kids. We could tell Biscotti was well-cared for when we brought her back home- she was calm and happy and jumped right back into our family routines- like she had a great vacation too! Thanks, Andre and fam! We’ll definitely book with Andre again.”
