Kalley was a fantastic pet sitter. She took such great care of my pup, and treated him as though he were one of their own. Highly, highly recommended if you are looking for a caring, positive environment for your pet while you are away. She sent pictures nearly every day with updates on how he was doing. Thank you Kalley! We will definitely reach out to you next time we have a need for pet sitting! ?

Both our dogs stayed with Kristi for 10 days and she and her husband were wonderful with them. Kristi sent us regular updates with pictures and was great to communicate with. She also did not hesitate to dog sit our dogs even if one had epilepsy. I would highly recommend Kristi and will probably use her service again when the time comes.

About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!

Kristen was so great with our pups and made all requester accommodations. Her property really is a doggy paradise! We could tell how much fun our pups had when we came to pick them up. They were tired (in a good way) from playing and socializing. Kristen also has tons of dog gear, so no need to bring your own (unless they need their favorite toy, etc ?). We left our pups there for 2 weeks and they were clearly in great hands. We will be sure to use Kristen again!

I can't say enough wonderful things. Katherine very appropriately vetted my dog to make sure he would be a good match with other dogs prior to agreeingto have our guys stay for a week. She sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout the week putting my mind at ease that everything was going well. The space is wonderful with lots of room and he came back home exhausted from playing with new friends. Our dog did not come home with any issues picked up from a new environment or new dogs. This was an absolutely wonderful experience and I have full trust in leaving our dog with Katherine.

Linda is a wonderful lady and I would 100% book a stay for Lucy with her again! She sent me updates throughout Lucy's visit and was very gentle and sweet with my timid girl. I could tell that Lucy had warmed up to her when I picked her up and she rubbed on Linda and licked her hands. Lucy tends to not want to eat if she stays somewhere without me and Linda made sure she figured out how to get her to do so. Lucy got plenty of belly rubs and lots of love during her stay! Thank you, Linda, for taking such great care of my little girl!

Outstanding caregiver, by far the best I have seen so far. This was first time we had to leave our puppy to a stranger for multiple days. I was nervous. However, she and her family took good care of LEO, took him out occasionally, sent me photos on regular basis, and kept me updated. I am really happy to find them here and would recommend her to everyone.

I'm so grateful that my first time using Rover led me to Dana, who took care of my pups, Boogie and Lilli, while I was away. She did an amazing job looking after them, and they absolutely adore her. Dana made sure they were happy and well looked after. It was clear that she really loves dogs, and my pups felt comfortable and happy around her. I'm so relieved to know that they were in good hands during my first experience with Rover. I highly recommend Dana if you need someone to look after your pups. She's fantastic, and my pups think she's the best! Thank you, Dana, for taking such good care of Boogie and Lilli. 🐾💜

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and done training and dog walking in a shelter as a volunteer. I love getting dogs outside and letting them run around. I have been hiking with my dog for his entire life and was able to train him on the leash and off the leash to allow us to have the freedom to run free and the ability to get him on the leash and behave around other dogs and people on the road and on the trails. I have been dog sitting for the last 8 years and love spending time with all the pups. I can’t wait to take care of animals and give them the necessary play time and exercise when you’re not there to. I keep my schedule updated to where I am unavailable when I work to allow for your pets to get the utmost care. However I am willing to work with you around my work schedule! I have experience with reactive dogs and I will keep your dog safe and on a leash unless in a fenced in yard. I prefer staying at the dogs home to help them stay comfortable

I used Rover for the first time and chose Jordan because of experience based on her photos with bigger dogs. She booked a last minute with a 3 day commitment requiring 2 drop in visits per day. She communicated with me quick and well, sent photos etc. I was unsure about using Rover and thought I might need to call or text, but now fully confident in the service. I would book with Jordan again in the future and probably won't go back to boarding. Our dog seemed happy to stay at home, and not stress being away from us and at a kennel.

Not only did she accept my last minute booking, but she was open and very negotiable with pick uo & drop off times. She frequently sent pics, walked my pup multiple time a day & had no doubts leaving my dog in her care. Would highly encourage anyone to consider booking her for pet services!

About: Hi, I'm Sara@ My passion is raising confident, well-socialized family dogs through positive reinforcement, structure, and enrichment. Dogs in my care are treated like family and stay in a home environment—not a kennel. I intentionally keep my capacity small so every dog receives individual attention, exercise, play, and plenty of affection. I have experience raising and training high-energy sporting breeds and especially enjoy working with puppies and adolescent dogs. Whether your pup is learning house manners, building confidence, or simply needs a safe and loving place to stay, my goal is to provide a positive experience that supports their development. My home includes children, which helps puppies learn appropriate interactions in a family setting. Safety, communication, and consistency are my top priorities, and you'll receive regular updates and photos while your dog is in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dedicated dog owner, my days already revolve around feeding schedules, exercise, training, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Dogs in my care are treated like members of the family and are integrated into our daily routine rather than being left alone for long periods. I prioritize structured exercise, supervised play, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement training throughout the day. Because I intentionally keep my capacity limited, I can provide personalized care and ensure each dog receives the attention, consistency, and companionship they deserve. When pets stay in my home, they are cared for as part of the family in a safe, structured, and supervised environment. I follow each pet's normal feeding schedule, potty routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, enrichment activities, rest time, and affection. Because I keep my capacity limited, I am able to provide individualized care rather than a crowded kennel experience. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. For drop-in visits or care in a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and ensuring the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care while treating every pet as if they were my own

About: I have lived on my parents farm my whole life. While growing up I helped raise: horses, cows, goats, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, you name it. About 5 minutes from my home is a humane society where I use to volunteer as a dog walker and foster. I have experience in birthing and raising kittens, one of which I chose to adopt myself. He is a sweet tabby named Bruno who I have the uttermost privilege of loving. I have a sweet spot for pit bulls but ultimately I love all animals unconditionally. If you choose me, I guarantee your baby ( or babies ) will get every ounce of my care and loving affection. When it comes to my daily routine, I work remotely and am blessed with a very flexible schedule. Therefore, I’ll have plenty of free time to entertain and care for your kids. I care for animals with my absolute full attention to their needs. I be sure to stick close to them so as to be certain they are satisfied and safe. :)

Shaghayegh is one of the best dog sitters I have met and I'm so happy to have found her! She's so friendly, super honest, and just does a careful and amazing job with my puppy. She takes him on multiple walks and sends me lots of pictures during the day. When I drop him off to her in the morning, he's practically jumping out of my arms to get to her and cuddle, so that's the best possible review that really matters!

About: Dogs have always been part of our life and are treated as a member of the family. When in our house the dogs are allowed on furniture and we will treat them as they were our dog. We welcome calls to check up on your animal while they are staying with us. We will give them plenty of attention and someone will be around in the house to make sure they are doing well. We look forward to having your animal stay will us and giving them attention while they are here. We can even send you pictures or videos while you are gone to see how they are enjoying their stay. I am retired as a special education teacher and enjoy animals. Last year I lost my dog Sammy who was 19 years old and look forward to being with dogs. Our family treats pets like part of our family. We like to spend time with them and interact in the house as well as outside.

Haejin & Herscel were wondering caretakers! They were open to taking my dog for daycare a few days before and treated her so well. I liked that they only take a few dogs a day to reduce exposure and ensure they are all being watched. I loved the occasional photo and video updates, which her other daycare doesn't do it all. She came home very tired from playing all day, which was exactly what we wanted. I look forward to using them again!

About: Dog care certified in Argentina, as an animal lover I want to pursue career caring for them. Since young, I used to spend a lot of time in dog walks and parks with them. I believe now, I can provide them the perfect environment of a fenced backyard of 10.000 sqf. I love to exercise and pamper pups and we're easy to reach, even for a last-minute need. With some dog training experience and a lot of love for dogs, I look forward to taking care of your family member like one of our own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will take long playtime or jogs with your dog. If your furry family member just needs companionship and loving attention, I am happy to provide that kind of care, too. Photos of your dog will be shared with you throughout their visit. I love to send lots of pictures of my guests. My house is generally a cage-free environment, but will use your crates if that is what your pup is used to at home. I have a couple of gates to use as necessary to separate dogs during meals and to give them a large, safe play area in our home.

About: I’ve regularly lived with/taken care of pets in my adulthood. Walking, pet sitting, house sitting are all activities of which I am fond and familiar. Always happy for any chance to spend time with dogs/cats and help relieve stress on their owners. I work from home full time and have an incredibly friendly/energetic dog of my own. He loves playing with other dogs, so you can count on their constant stimulation. I have a house with an unfenced yard located in the Apple Mountain Lake community. I will generally crate your pooch overnight, and may ask you to bring one along if you are boarding more than one dog at a time.

About: I got my first dog at the age of 10 and trained him myself, aswell as other family dogs we grew to love over the years. Now 30, I have 2 pups of my own that I’ve given my whole world to. I love my animals as if they are family and yours would be no different. I believe animals bring out the best in us & I try to bring the out the best in them when I can instill any behavioral help! I’m currently working part-time and spend the rest of my day as a homemaker while my son is in preschool so I would have plenty of time to handle your pups after I drop my son off in the morning. I can provide walks, medications, feedings and free play in our half-acre fenced in back yard. I follow your guide lines with meal times and breaks. What’s important to you is what I aim to achieve in my visits wether that be play time, picture updates or cuddling on the couch making sure they feel comfortable when they stay for a visit or I come into their space. If your pup is one that can be ornery and needs more supervision rest assured I’m always home and do not leave them unsupervised unless we have arranged for them to have a crate if I need to run out. These are all things we can discuss in a meet and greet!

About: What sets me apart is my personal experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. I’ve raised and cared for five dogs throughout my life, including Labs, Golden Retrievers, Chihuahuas, and German Shepherds, so I understand the very different needs of small, medium, and large breeds. I trained my own puppy from 8 weeks old, teaching her a wide range of tricks and good behaviors, which gave me a lot of patience and training skills. I’m also comfortable handling more challenging dogs as one of my Chihuahuas was very aggressive, which taught me how to read body language and safely manage reactive pets, from a young age. In addition, I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs. I’ve helped raise multiple dogs into old age, including a German Shepherd that lived until 15, and a Labrador Retriever that lived until 17! I understand the gentleness, and care older dogs require. Overall, I bring a lot of confidence to this role because of my genuine understanding of dogs at every stage of life. I just finished my undergrad and plan to be home all summer. I begin graduate school in the fall online and will practically have no big everyday commitments. I have a few vacations planned but besides that I am an open book willing to work anytime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. (Dogs know their schedule!) I follow all instructions closely and carefully for any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I have cared for dogs that experience extreme distress from their owner being gone and I have developed my skills to better care for dogs experiencing this. I’m also very attentive to behavior and health, so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect my client’s home by secure and exactly as I found it. My goal is to make both the pet, and the owner feel completely at ease, just as I would want if my dog was being watched.

I am fully available on Thursdays and Sundays, and I also have availability in the mornings on Mondays and Fridays, as well as evenings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. I always make sure pets are cared for on time and according to their routine. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I keep a clean and calm space, ensure fresh water, proper feeding, and provide attention and playtime based on each pet’s needs and personality. I am very attentive to details and always prioritize the safety, well-being, and comfort of every pet.

I currently work full time for a consulting firm but I am looking to do pet care part time. My weekends are usually open and weeknights are also pretty flexible.

About: (Brand new to Rover) I’ve been around animals since the day I was born, and dogs have always felt like big, goofy, furry toddlers — full of personality, joy, and chaos in the best way. I currently live in an anti‑pet apartment (tragic, I know), so I’m looking to fill that dog‑shaped hole in my heart by being the next best thing: your pup’s reliable walking and hiking buddy. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves long walks, trails, and exploring. Whether your dog is a tiny ball of energy or a large, gentle giant, I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, seniors, and puppies. I’m patient, confident, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s quirks. What I offer: Long walks or trail hikes for high‑energy pups Picture updates so you can see their adventures Flexible scheduling — I’m a teacher on summer break, so I’m wide open With a friendly, upbeat personality, your dog will warm up quickly If your dog needs exercise, company, or just someone who treats them like the lovable toddler they are, I’d love to help. Let’s get your pup out exploring and having fun. As a teacher on summer break, pet care fits naturally and easily into my weekly routine. I’m active every day, walking, hiking, or spending time outdoors, so adding a dog to that rhythm feels like the most joyful part of my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility, which means I can plan walks around your dog’s needs rather than squeezing them into a tight window. (ADDITION: Until May 30th, I can only walk dogs on weekends because of my teaching and coaching schedule) Since I live in an anti‑pet apartment, all of my care happens in your home or out on the trail. I treat every dog like the big furry toddler they are, with patience, structure, and a lot of enthusiasm. Here’s what my care typically looks like: Consistent routines: I follow your feeding, walking, and potty schedule exactly as you prefer. Active outings: long walks or trail hikes for dogs who need to burn energy, or gentle strolls for seniors. Safety first: secure leashing, checking gear, watching for heat, and keeping a close eye on body language. Clean and respectful home care: wiping paws, refreshing water, tidying up any messes, and leaving your home exactly as I found it. Photo updates: I send regular pictures so you can see your pup’s adventures and feel connected while you’re away. Calm companionship: whether your dog is tiny and energetic or large and mellow, I match their vibe and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m free all summer, I can offer flexible scheduling, longer walks, and extra attention, especially for dogs who thrive on activity and routine.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and done training and dog walking in a shelter as a volunteer. I love getting dogs outside and letting them run around. I have been hiking with my dog for his entire life and was able to train him on the leash and off the leash to allow us to have the freedom to run free and the ability to get him on the leash and behave around other dogs and people on the road and on the trails. I have been dog sitting for the last 8 years and love spending time with all the pups. I can’t wait to take care of animals and give them the necessary play time and exercise when you’re not there to. I keep my schedule updated to where I am unavailable when I work to allow for your pets to get the utmost care. However I am willing to work with you around my work schedule! I have experience with reactive dogs and I will keep your dog safe and on a leash unless in a fenced in yard. I prefer staying at the dogs home to help them stay comfortable

Whether you need daily dog walks, drop-in cat care, house visits for your senior pet, or even a calm hand during end-of-life transitions, I’m here for you and your animals every step of the way. I also offer pet taxi services to help get your furry loved ones where they need to go — vet appointments, grooming, or even just home from daycare. At Virginia’s Haven, it’s not just about pet sitting — it’s about creating peace of mind, compassionate support, and a second home for your animals. I’m available 7 days a week, all year round, including holidays. I know how important consistent, reliable care is — and I’ll always do my best to integrate you and your pets into my schedule, even during busy times. Whether it’s a last-minute walk, a weekend getaway, or long-term support, I’m here to help whenever you need me. 💖 🏡 How I Care for Pets in Their Own Home At Virginia’s Haven, I know that some pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings. Caring for pets in their own home means they can stick to their normal environment, scents, and routines, which helps reduce stress and keep them happy. When providing care in your home, I offer: 🐾 Familiar Routines — Keeping mealtimes, walks, and play sessions consistent with your pet’s normal schedule. 🛏️ Comfort in Their Own Space — Allowing your pet to sleep in their favorite spot or cuddle up with their usual blanket. 🦴 Play & Enrichment — Interactive play, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention tailored to your pet’s personality. 💊 Special Care — Administering medications or following specific care instructions for pets with medical or behavioral needs. 📸 Updates for Peace of Mind — Regular photos and updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. This approach allows pets to remain relaxed and secure, while still receiving the same level of love and attention they would in my own home. ⸻ 🐶 How I Care for Pets in My Home At Virginia’s Haven, your pets are treated like part of the family — welcomed into a calm, loving, and structured environment where their comfort and safety come first. When caring for pets in my home, I provide: 🐾 Safe, Supervised Introductions 🛏️ Cozy, Designated Rest Areas 🦴 Plenty of Playtime, Enrichment, and Love 📆 Routine and Structure to help them feel secure 🐶 Individual Attention — especially for pets with anxiety or special needs I understand that every animal is different, which is why I tailor care based on your pet’s personality, preferences, and comfort level. ⸻ 🐕‍🦺 Important Note About My Own Dog 🐕‍🦺 I also have a reactive dog of my own who lives with me full-time. She’s incredibly loved and well-managed, but she does take some time to warm up to new dogs — we call her our “nervous nelly.” Because of this: • I use slow, controlled introductions • I monitor all interactions carefully • I may keep pets separated until I’m confident they’re comfortable Your pet’s emotional well-being is just as important as their physical safety, and I’ll always make thoughtful, professional decisions based on what’s best for everyone involved. 💖

Both our dogs stayed with Kristi for 10 days and she and her husband were wonderful with them. Kristi sent us regular updates with pictures and was great to communicate with. She also did not hesitate to dog sit our dogs even if one had epilepsy. I would highly recommend Kristi and will probably use her service again when the time comes.

About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!

Kristen was so great with our pups and made all requester accommodations. Her property really is a doggy paradise! We could tell how much fun our pups had when we came to pick them up. They were tired (in a good way) from playing and socializing. Kristen also has tons of dog gear, so no need to bring your own (unless they need their favorite toy, etc ?). We left our pups there for 2 weeks and they were clearly in great hands. We will be sure to use Kristen again!

I can't say enough wonderful things. Katherine very appropriately vetted my dog to make sure he would be a good match with other dogs prior to agreeingto have our guys stay for a week. She sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout the week putting my mind at ease that everything was going well. The space is wonderful with lots of room and he came back home exhausted from playing with new friends. Our dog did not come home with any issues picked up from a new environment or new dogs. This was an absolutely wonderful experience and I have full trust in leaving our dog with Katherine.

Outstanding caregiver, by far the best I have seen so far. This was first time we had to leave our puppy to a stranger for multiple days. I was nervous. However, she and her family took good care of LEO, took him out occasionally, sent me photos on regular basis, and kept me updated. I am really happy to find them here and would recommend her to everyone.

Kosmo and Luna had a great time staying with Lori! We did a meet and greet before their stay, which helped Kosmo get comfortable. He has difficulties with introductions, and Lori was very understanding of the space he needed. She sent me photos each day of the pups and they looked so happy! Kosmo and Luna can't wait to come back!

Barbara was one of the best hosts I’ve ever booked. She’s so kind, incredibly experienced with a variety of breeds, and has amazing intuition when it comes to meeting your pup’s needs. She sends lots of fun photos and videos and I was so comforted by the fact that I knew my darling dog was having a blast and was in great hands. I can’t wait to rebook!

I'm so grateful that my first time using Rover led me to Dana, who took care of my pups, Boogie and Lilli, while I was away. She did an amazing job looking after them, and they absolutely adore her. Dana made sure they were happy and well looked after. It was clear that she really loves dogs, and my pups felt comfortable and happy around her. I'm so relieved to know that they were in good hands during my first experience with Rover. I highly recommend Dana if you need someone to look after your pups. She's fantastic, and my pups think she's the best! Thank you, Dana, for taking such good care of Boogie and Lilli. 🐾💜

Tara was amazing with my dogs! My little dog can be anxious when she is away from me and my big dog can be excitable but she was able to handle both so well! She sent lots of pictures so I knew how my puppies were doing and I could see how well both were adjusting! She took them on outings, let them play outside a lot, and gave them both so much love and cuddles! Honestly could not have asked for a better experience and I would highly recommend her for your puppies!!
