“Larissa is so sweet and accommodating her and her husband always takes such good care of all our pups. My boyfriend even has a bad hip and is slow to get out of the car so they come out to the car and help get the dogs so he doesn’t have to struggle. They know what family is like and they treat you as such the pups were always joyful We fed and loved when they come home.”
“We've had Connie for well over a year and half and each and ever time her care of our pups is outstanding. Our pups have so much fun they come home to enjoy relaxation. Well taken care of just like home! Thanks Connie for your caring nature and for loving what you do!”
“Sarah was a wonderful fit for our new fur baby Brinx! Brinx is only 7 weeks old and Sarah treated him as her own! She updated me and sent me pictures of their time together. As a new puppy owner she was kind enough to give me so many pointers when training my little guy. This was my first time using Rover app and i am so happy to have experienced Sarah. She made me feel comfortable and reassured me everything was okay. Highly recommend! I know Brinx can’t wait for our family vacation in June so he can go back and see his second family now!”
“Amber is absolutely amazing. She sends updates with video and pictures throughout the day so you know your fury friend is safe, happy and well taken care of. I never have to worry about my pup when I’m away. I highly recommend!!”
“5 stars! We were so lucky to find Heather! Our sweet doggy didn’t have a worry in the world because she was so well cared for! Heather and her crew are a blessing!”
“Charlotte is absolutely amazing!!! She really helped us out with our two rambunctious 3 1/2 month old puppies when a family member was no longer able to watch the pups just days before our trip. With less than a week Charlotte was able to schedule an and meet and greet and add get us on her schedule. We were really in a jam and appreciate her so much. Charlotte has a lot of experience and with her background I felt very comfortable leaving our little ones in her care. Charlotte provided multiple daily updates and photos. Our girls had a wonderful time! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Hannah did an amazing job with our fur baby! She communicated well and sent us a lot of pictures. This was our first “boarding” our dog since we’ve had him the past 5 years. Hannah made sure to send lots of pictures and he definitely appeared to be having fun and was well taken care of. We can’t thank Hannah enough for making sure our fur baby was happy and safe while in her care. We would definitely use her again.”
“Christopher was pleasant to work with through scheduling and boarding. He was flexible and met my needs well even though they were a bit complicated. During my pet’s stay he sent photos and updated me on her well being. Overall great sitter! :)”
“They were wonderful with my sweet Minerva! I got regular updates on how she was doing and they were so very kind. After an unexpected extra day of being gone, they even kept her an extra day happily. There was the cutest outside and inside area the pups had free access to. It wasn't like a kennel where she was cooped up all day. She had play time and fun with the other pups. She didn't even want to leave. As we were leaving, she kept pulling on her leash back to Brooke. This is a dog who doesn't pull on leash without being exceptionally sure of what she wants. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. They also allow you to see the area the pups are kept before you book which was great!”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“This was our first time boarding our baby Zoey and everything was perfect! Megan communicated with me and sent me pictures and videos everyday while we were away. I am very pleased with her services and will rebook with her again!”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dog received. They took such wonderful care of him and kept me updated with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to the pets they care for. I was absolutely delighted with the experience and would trust them again without hesitation. Thank you for treating my furry baby like family!”
“This is the first time we have used Rover. We have a large, energetic mastiff puppy that also has a health condition and needs a special diet and meds. We can’t say enough about Laurie and how good our experience was! She had great communication and sent us a lot of pictures, videos and updates throughout his stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Laurie again and highly recommend her! Thanks Laurie for a wonderful first experience with Rover!”
“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”
“Great communication leading up to our stay. Jeleesa was amazing with my pup! My dog came home just as happy as when I left her- I highly recommend to anyone needed a “home away from home” for their animal!”
“Kathryn did an excellent job watching our beagle. She posted updates daily and took her on daily walks. We will use her again in the future. Thanks for taking care of her.”

“Jessica was wonderful, easy to work with, and took good care of our cat during a drop in visit. She left detailed notes of her visit and several adorable photos.”
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”
“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I have experience sitting for all types of animals. From cuddly Pyrenees, and scary-smart German pinschers, to spunky chinchillas, their best cat friends, and curious pythons. I have been through partial behavioral training for dogs (and their humans), and have experience with animal hospice situations, as well as behaviorally aggressive dogs. I prefer to keep the animal's care as consistent as possible. The more details you have of your preferred method of walking, reward, or preparation habits, the better. Trust and care are my number one goals when it comes to animal sitting. Not just with the four legged babies, but with the parents as well. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your care provider, and what a treat it is to know that you can trust someone with the care of your loved ones. Also, aren't dogs just perfect? I work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and am currently on telework, so my weekly availability is early morning, and late afternoon. I also volunteer at the Old Dominion Humaine Society and occasionally foster for them at my house. I have one <1 year old puppy, and I have a home with a large yard but no fence. That means all foster dogs get leash walked always and there are many mind teaser toys for rainy days. I feed in crates and make it a safe space for them to decompress.
About: I treat every pet like family and tailor my care to their unique needs. Whether it’s patiently helping a puppy learn routines, giving extra love and support to senior pets, or just making sure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you're away—I’m here for it all. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets who need gentler care and dogs who require medication. I’m also comfortable with basic training and reinforcing good habits for puppies. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to understand their personality, routines, and quirks, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily life, and I’ve structured my routine to make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. I work full-time during the week, but I’m fortunate to live close to my job, which allows me to come home on my lunch break for walks, potty breaks, or a little mid-day playtime. My weekends are completely free, giving me plenty of time for longer visits, overnights, or extended care. Whether it’s weekday check-ins or weekend companionship, I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I focus on providing a safe, loving, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. In Your Home: I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—mealtimes, walks, play, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and cared for. I treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In My Home: I offer a quiet, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, affection, and time outdoors (for dogs). I do have one friendly cat who is both indoor and outdoor, so I always ensure any visiting pets are comfortable and safely introduced, if needed. I also limit the number of pets I care for at a time to ensure each one gets plenty of individual attention. No matter the setting, your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities.
“Rochelle watched our senior cat, Callie, at our home while we were on vacation. She was extremely reliable and trustworthy—sending us daily pictures, videos, and updates. It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.”
About: As an avid, pet lover I will take care of your pets, as if they were my own. I love cats and dogs and other small little creatures.

When we go for walks I will always have them leashed and protect them from other animals.
“Alexandria was wonderful with our animals! Even the mean cat seemed to like her, which is pretty rare. Yoshi was very excited to see her when she came for their visits. All animals had full water and food when we got back, my spiteful cat hadn’t broken anything out of boredom or spite from being left behind (he hates having us leave for king periods of time)”
“Matisa U was very friendly and took extreme care of our fur baby. She communicated well and sent pictures of Hazel during our time away from her. I feel that Hazel had a great time and enjoyed herself. I would definitely recommend Matisa to to my family and friends and will definitely return to her for her services. Thank you!”
“Allie did check ins for my 3 cats, 1 of which needed extra attention due to her health. She kept me informed with each check in, and ensured every single kitty got fed, given fresh water, and litter boxes cleaned out. Especially for our 1 cat, she took extra care and noted any concerns that arose. She provided both photos and videos for every check in, and let me know on when she’d be stopping by for the next. Allie can be trusted with any sort of stay or visit with your pets. She goes the extra mile for you and your pet family. Thank you Allie!”
“April is very easy to get along with and gave excellent care to our cat Miss Pepper. April sent me pictures of our feline at each visit and informed me of package deliveries. Upon my request she checked the water taps drip to ensure the water doesn’t freeze. I highly recommend her.”

“They are amazing! I’ve never trusted anyone more with my dog. They treated my dog like he was their own and it made me feel so comfortable leaving him there. They were very flexible and I loved them!!”
About: Hi there! I’m a caring and reliable dog sitter who truly enjoys getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, including those who are shy or anxious, and I always take a calm, patient approach so they can feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. With anxious dogs especially, I focus on creating a gentle, low-pressure environment by slow introductions, calm energy, and routines that help build trust over time. I pay close attention to body language and adjust to whatever each dog needs in the moment, whether that’s space, reassurance, or a quiet walk. I also make sure to follow all care instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to be someone you and your dog feel completely comfortable with, like a trusted friend who shows up and cares every time. All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including bordatella) and flea/tick preventative. Please provide a screenshot of their most recent shots through the Rover app. I currently do NOT take more than 1 pup at a time unless the client requesting themselves has 2 pups that need taking care of! PLEASE NOTE: If you plan on booking for extended stay, our price is $40 a night for 5 days. I'm currently not employed so your pet will be attended to at all day! Any accommodation you need for them, I can surely provide at any time. I have a fenced yard and currently no other pets in the house, meaning your pet will have 100% of our time and attention so they don't feel out of place!
“We are so very happy to come across Audree! She is a wonderful person, super nice and accommodating! We left our fur baby with her for day care as a meet and greet to see how they both took to each other. During his stay Audree was very communicative, send us pictures and videos. She also was engaging- asking questions about our fur baby making sure she knew all details about Boomer. We loved that. Boomer was happy at Audree’s and came back exhausted. Thank you for taking good care of Boomer and being such a good listener! See you in July!”
“My dog Gigi loves it at Seyla’s place! While I’m at work I look forward to the videos of the walks and to just see how she is spending her day. The videos make my day knowing she is having a good time.”
“Ligia did a good job caring for my two dogs in their doggie day care stay. Does a good job of slowly introducing new dogs to each other and respecting if certain dogs don't want to play with others. Her house and yard are set up in a way that allows her to separate animals, if needed. She communicated well with me and was available at the agreed upon times. We will be booking with her again in the future.”
“Zorra and Theodore were SOOOOOO happy with their stay with Jorge's family! We received several pictures. We appreciated how they made our dog care request work out with their busy schedule! Next time we travel to Stafford, we will definitely request Jorge's family.”

Yeny and Ray sent us photos and videos throughout the day, and communication was great. We’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Tiffany was an absolute delight to book with!! From the very beginning, she was very prompt in her responses and answered any questions that I had. I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus! She also communicated throughout the day with updates and cute photos of my fur baby so I knew he was safe and well taken care of. If I could, I would give her 10/5 stars! I definitely plan to book with her again in the near future! Thanks again Tiffany!”

We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!”

I offer in home boarding and care in a peaceful, low stress environment where your animals can relax, explore, and feel at home.

I have a 7 year old, 10 year old, 13 year old and 16 year old at home. Everyone loves dogs. We have a routine with the dogs and they are part of the family. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am a firm believer that dogs need to be walked. I walk my dogs for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon on a walking path behind my house. I keep jingle bells on my door and my dogs ring them to go outside to potty. I have options to separate dogs if necessary. Dogs are separated at feeding time.
“Our high-energy rescue has been doing great with him and coming home well worn out after doggy daycare. He’s kind enough to accommodate early work hours or a change of plans. Very satisfied! We’ll be booking weekly for daycare.”

At home, we share our lives with our dog and two cats, who inspire me every day to provide loving, dependable care for all pets.

My dogs get plenty of play time mainly with each other but i’ve done plenty of play time with them myself and can incorporate that with you dogs if they require play time!

About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was like 5 I learned how to take care of them at a young age.Im pretty good at what I do. I’m currently working part time .I have lots of free time on my hands . Im open to almost any schedule .Just shoot me a text. Caring for pets in my client's home involves a personalized approach tailored to each pet’s specific needs and the services I am providing. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where the pet feels secure and loved. This includes feeding them according to their dietary requirements, ensuring they have fresh water at all times, and providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and play to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow grooming routines and administer medications as instructed, keeping a close eye on their health and behavior. Whether I am offering daily walks, pet sitting, or grooming services, I am committed to providing compassionate, attentive, and reliable care that respects the pet’s routine and comforts, ensuring they feel happy and secure in my care.
About: Dogs show us the true meaning of actions speak louder than words. They love so hard without even telling us, but showing us every day. Before 4 I have open availability M-F so I can go spend all the time I can with everyone. We can go on walks, go find new adventures. With time management and care. They are like children, then need a set schedule. I would love to make schedules for everyone so that they are calm and collected.

“Larissa is so sweet and accommodating her and her husband always takes such good care of all our pups. My boyfriend even has a bad hip and is slow to get out of the car so they come out to the car and help get the dogs so he doesn’t have to struggle. They know what family is like and they treat you as such the pups were always joyful We fed and loved when they come home.”
“We've had Connie for well over a year and half and each and ever time her care of our pups is outstanding. Our pups have so much fun they come home to enjoy relaxation. Well taken care of just like home! Thanks Connie for your caring nature and for loving what you do!”
“Sarah was a wonderful fit for our new fur baby Brinx! Brinx is only 7 weeks old and Sarah treated him as her own! She updated me and sent me pictures of their time together. As a new puppy owner she was kind enough to give me so many pointers when training my little guy. This was my first time using Rover app and i am so happy to have experienced Sarah. She made me feel comfortable and reassured me everything was okay. Highly recommend! I know Brinx can’t wait for our family vacation in June so he can go back and see his second family now!”
“5 stars! We were so lucky to find Heather! Our sweet doggy didn’t have a worry in the world because she was so well cared for! Heather and her crew are a blessing!”
“Charlotte is absolutely amazing!!! She really helped us out with our two rambunctious 3 1/2 month old puppies when a family member was no longer able to watch the pups just days before our trip. With less than a week Charlotte was able to schedule an and meet and greet and add get us on her schedule. We were really in a jam and appreciate her so much. Charlotte has a lot of experience and with her background I felt very comfortable leaving our little ones in her care. Charlotte provided multiple daily updates and photos. Our girls had a wonderful time! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Hannah did an amazing job with our fur baby! She communicated well and sent us a lot of pictures. This was our first “boarding” our dog since we’ve had him the past 5 years. Hannah made sure to send lots of pictures and he definitely appeared to be having fun and was well taken care of. We can’t thank Hannah enough for making sure our fur baby was happy and safe while in her care. We would definitely use her again.”
“Christopher was pleasant to work with through scheduling and boarding. He was flexible and met my needs well even though they were a bit complicated. During my pet’s stay he sent photos and updated me on her well being. Overall great sitter! :)”
“They were wonderful with my sweet Minerva! I got regular updates on how she was doing and they were so very kind. After an unexpected extra day of being gone, they even kept her an extra day happily. There was the cutest outside and inside area the pups had free access to. It wasn't like a kennel where she was cooped up all day. She had play time and fun with the other pups. She didn't even want to leave. As we were leaving, she kept pulling on her leash back to Brooke. This is a dog who doesn't pull on leash without being exceptionally sure of what she wants. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. They also allow you to see the area the pups are kept before you book which was great!”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“This was our first time boarding our baby Zoey and everything was perfect! Megan communicated with me and sent me pictures and videos everyday while we were away. I am very pleased with her services and will rebook with her again!”
“This is the first time we have used Rover. We have a large, energetic mastiff puppy that also has a health condition and needs a special diet and meds. We can’t say enough about Laurie and how good our experience was! She had great communication and sent us a lot of pictures, videos and updates throughout his stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Laurie again and highly recommend her! Thanks Laurie for a wonderful first experience with Rover!”
“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”
“Hazel met Crystal a few weeks before my family took an 11 day road trip and I knew instantly Hazel would be ok. Crystal made Hazel feel loved and comforted in our absence. We are truly thankful for her and definitely will use her service again.”
“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”
“Tracey took very good care of our sweet pea she called her diva and that name is so fitting. She is so kind, sweet and very knowledgeable of pet care. When I ever go out of town I will always want her to take care of my furry family. I recommend Tracey to any one that needs boarding pet care, you will love her too!”
“This was my pups first time staying with Mickey and friends and it was great! Mickey’s years of experience working with dogs and friendly demeanor with my pups, made me feel comfortable having them stay over. This was the first time in a while we were away from our pups so I was a bit anxious, but Mickey’s updates with pictures were very reassuring! Would definitely have him watch them again soon!”
