“Shannon, and family, took such great care of our babies. On a daily basis, she kept us well informed of how they were doing and sent plenty of pictures so we felt at ease. The family loved snuggling with them which helped make our babies feel at home. This was our first time having someone other than family watch our dogs; Shannon made us feel comfortable while we spent time with family on vacation especially given our Bichon's separation anxiety. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Tyke loved his stay! He made a friend while there and came home and exhausted pup! Richard and Kelly have an amazing facility and truly take fantastic care of their dogs. Tyke will definitely be returning if ever needed!”
“Amanda was great. My pets can be a little nervous but they warmed up to her quickly. She sent daily check in’s so I knew they were doing well when I was away. I would definitely book her again.”
“This was my first Rover experience, I was a bit nervous to leave my 14 year old dog Lexi, but Kurt made me feel so comfortable - texting updates and photos. He also was above and beyond with understanding and accommodating to us being later than expected to pick her up. He’s got a great property for hosting dogs and his pup Gus was very welcoming and friendly with Lexi! Kurt will definitely be our go-to pup sitter, thank you Kurt!”
“I was a little stressed to leave my pup for 8 days while I was out of the country but Emily’s communication was great. She sent updates and photos and felt like my dog was in good hands.”
“David and Linda were very communicative and cooperative by providing lots of updates and pictures of Chico. They took great care of my pup, spent a lot of time with him and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I highly recommend their services and will definitely go with them again in the future”
“Amari was absolutely wonderful with Frost! She took him on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated, and he had an amazing time in her care. It was clear from the updates and from how happy and relaxed Frost was when we picked him up that he was well cared for and loved. Amari is reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs she watches. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Amari, for taking such great care of Frost!”
“Sydney was wonderful with both my mini schnauzers. She took care of their every need and gave them lots of love. We have rebooked with her for several more dates and will continue to book with her for boarding in her home.”
“Marah did an amazing job taking care of our fur baby!! She kept us updated and sent pictures daily! She had a very quick response time to our messages as well. We will definitely be using Marah again in the future. We would highly recommend her.”

About: I take care of pets for family when they need it and have experience caring for older pets, puppies, and those with special care instructions. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can take time to walk dogs during the day. I’m most available during the weekend and after 5 pm for over night boarding, but can potentially accommodate other schedules. I have no pets, so my home is perfect for less friendly pets. Crates will need to provided if they are needed for your pet, but I’m willing to keep up with their routine.
“My belgian malinois, had an amazing weekend with Carmen and her dogs. She was worn out and napped for half of the day afterwards. So, I know she had a great time. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer. Thank you!”
“Kim was great with our little girl Golden Retriever, Lexie. Kim and her boyfriend played ball with her and took her for a walk. Lexie also got to play with two Golden puppies. The fenced in backyard was wonderful for her to burn off that extra energy. Kim sent many pictures to let us know that Lexie was eating well and playing with the others. This was only a two day, one night stay but Kim and her boyfriend went out of their way to make sure Lexie was happy and that we were informed so we would not worry. It was a great experience.”
“Donna was highly recommended to us by some friends and she took excellent care of our dog Malcolm while we went out of town for a wedding. She gave him endless attention which was evident when we picked him up and he made himself comfortable on her lap! She sent us pictures and videos so we knew he was in good hands, and even took him to the park and for plenty of walks. We highly recommend Donna to anyone!!”
“Meeting Gretchen I knew right away she was willing and committed to taking care of our Daisy Lucille as we are!!! Daisy is 9 years old and has medications to take for CCL injuries that require her to be on a leash for potty breaks and being outside and can take short walks. She kept us informed of their days and shared everything Daisy did in her care. We are so lucky to have her help and so convenient where we live.”

“Olivia was so sweet with my cat and even taught her a new trick while I was away for the weekend! She timed her visits perfectly and clearly took time to just hang out with Minnie. I loved seeing all the pictures from her visits and would definitely book again! Thanks Olivia!”
“Caroline was terrific! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos, and our normally shy kitty cat absolutely loved her! We’ve already booked Caroline for our next trip!”
“Katie is fantastic! She is an excellent communicator, reliable, provides detailed updates, and spends quality time bonding with and caring for your pets (even if they're not-so-friendly around "strangers.") We've worked with Katie several times now and she's been awesome every time - complete peace of mind when traveling.”
“Amalie did a fantastic job with my cat and it was apparent that she cared for him! She was able to give him medicine twice a day. Thank you for taking such great care of him!!”
“Claire did such an amazing job taking care of Blue. She was great to work with, followed my requests to a T, and sent frequent updates! I would totally recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Camille was great! She was able to give one of my cats his medication with no problems. She also played with them and gave them pets every time she dropped in. I enjoyed the pictures and updates that Camille gave. My mind was at ease on my vacation with Camille watching my kits. I would book with her again anytime!”
“I am out of town and have a missing cat - and Ashley has been helping me check on the feral cat traps. She has been absolutely wonderful! She has gone out of her way to get products that make the traps more enticing, she’s communicative, and shes flexible with time. I absolutely recommend Ashley!”
“Sophia checked on my cats while I was traveling. She made sure they had food and water, kept the litter box clean, and provided them with company while I was away. Sophia was very conscientious and caring with my cats, and I recommend booking her!”
“We had a great experience with Bri! She was super helpful taking care of our cat, Charlie, last minute. She was communicative by sending us detailed updates and photos. Most importantly, she gave my cat tons of quality play time and attention, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Bri to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!”
“Corinne was fantastic! She went above and beyond to care for my cat Winky and made sure I knew she was happy and comfortable while we were gone. She helped us last minute, and was even able to come twice a day. She made an extra visit when I was worried Winky was stuck under our guest room bed. I would definitely ask Corinne to help again in the future.”
“Kalli did a fantastic job taking care of our two kitties. She’s attentive and paid attention to detail when it came to our pet care. She even offered to spend extra time with the cats so they had some social interaction. We will definitely use Kalli again in the future.”
“Caitlin is professional, kind, and has a unique connection to animals. Caitlin came to my apartment for drop-in visits twice a day. She is very thorough with before and after photos, and she always makes sure that she follows the instructions for caring for my cats' health. My cats, who are all shelter kitties, have a hard time trusting new people. Caitlin had 2 of them cuddling by the end of the 2nd visit. The 3rd one of my kitties is the supervisor of everything. I will most definitely trust Caitlin with the care of my cats when I leave town.”
“Sarah was absolutely phenomenal! She went above and beyond, exceeded expectations! This was the first time we left our adored cat for two weeks & we were quite concerned about leaving her alone. Now we can safely say that we will feel comfortable and happy to know that Sarah will take care of her again in the future! Not only do we love her, but our “Ella” girl does too! 😻”
About: As a cat parent of three, I know feline care is about more than food and water. I watch for changes in appetite, litter habits, and mood, and I let shy cats warm up on their own terms. I’m happy to handle feeding, scooping, play, medication, and plenty of quiet company for cats who prefer a low-key visitor.

“Overall, they are AMAZING dog sitters and do a great job! I was given tons of pictures of my Auggie having a great weekend and I was very nervous to leave him for the first time. They did a great job instilling good habits in my puppy while having him enjoy his weekend with completely new people. I’m extremely satisfied and will be using them again!!”
About: I’ve owned a black Labrador(Anna) for over 13 years, she has not once had any sort of health issue as I’ve feed her well, and kept her up to date on vet visits. I’m caring, compassionate, and smart and versatile enough to be calm in any situation that may arise. I assure you that I will treat your pet as if it were my own. This allows me the freedom to stay focused on your pet and be there when other folks have to leave. If a situation ever does arrive my strength are communication so you can rest assured I will be in constant contact, which as a pet owner for an older girl myself id expect from others if I left her in their care. If the pet requires adequate exercise I have no problem going on a long walk with them and the space is pet friendly as my dog (Anna) is there. In your home, I can assure you that my experience will allow me to provide the best care for your loved ones.

About: I have always grown up around pets around the house! I am currently at college and am missing being around animals. I am always available to hang out, walk, play, or just chill with a pet. I have dealt with my goldendoodle for 9 years and it is the best thing that has happened to me. I am a college student and have 2 classes everyday which are each 1 hour. Therefore, I have a lot of flexibility before, in between, and after classes. I exercise daily so walking/playing with a dog fit perfectly in my schedule. At my home I live with 3 other girls who also love pets so having pets in our place is no problem! We have a dog park right down the road and also plenty of trails near me where I can them on walks.
“Jessie always does a great job taking care of our sweet, but shy fur baby! We appreciate the pictures and updates she regularly sends us. It makes our hearts happy knowing that our dog is getting wonderful care and lots of love when we’re away!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets my whole life. I adore being around them and spending time playing, snuggling, walking, and giving them the best care.

“Marah was wonderful! I was just in town for the weekend and my friends and I decided last minute to go hiking and I needed a sitter for my pup. Marah said yes and I’m so glad she did! I know Benji had an awesome time playing with the other dogs there because he knocked out for the rest of the evening. I will definitely bring him back again if I’m ever back in the area!”
About: There have also been pets in my house and I have also made myself available to pet sit for friends and family. I am flexible in when and how to care for your smallest or largest family member. I am a runner so I would love to have a buddy join me on a run, jog, or even a walk. I can care for your pup at my house or your house which ever one you would be comfortable with. At the moment I can be open anytime of the week, and visiting houses multiple times in the day to ensure that your furry friend feelings loved and cared for throughout the day. Whether that's a potty break, a snack, or a big ole tummy rub. I’m a teacher on summer break though I do have a part time evening job that starts at 430 my husband comes home at 4 and probably loves dogs even more than me. I have a large fenced backyard and plenty of room in my house for exploring. We do have a small rescue Chihuahua, but she is friendly and very kind.
“We used Corrie for doggie daycare while attending a Tech game. She was fabulous! Super friendly, sent lots of pictures, great property. We’d definitely use them again anytime!”
About: I began volunteering at my local animal shelter at the age of 9 and have been caring for animals ever since. I have 20 years experience pet sitting for neighbors and I have my own 6 year old pitbull, Cleo, so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs. I’m a teacher, so my summers give me full flexibility to care for your animals! I love to walk dogs on local greenways and trails. SCHOOL YEAR UPDATE: I’m still happy to provide boarding, walking, and drop in visits outside of school hours. I am unable to be home or care for pets from 7am-3pm each day. If your dog can be left for 8 hours, boarding continues to be available during the school year. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can play. If they like to play with a buddy, my dog will be their best friend!

I understand how important it is to keep them on their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

About: I am a stay at home Mom and would love to help other pet owners be at ease knowing their pets are being taken care of while you’re at work or out of town. Being at home allows me to be very flexible with the care you need. My family has both a dog and cat at home, so I’m familiar with the care needed for both. I’ve also cared for an elder dog before needing insulin administered. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very flexible to work with your needs! I’m happy to work with you! I have a large un-fenced yard surrounded by woods; supervised time outside only and on a leash unless you and I both are confident in obedience to come when called. I have a small dog at home who prefers a cuddle buddy over a play mate, but she is friendly with most dogs and loves cats! In the event I leave home I prefer crating until I get to know your pup.

“Kimberly was absolutely phenomenal and so kind! Our senior fur baby has a lot of extra needs, so we’ve always put date days aside to ensure we wouldn’t have to leave her home alone. From the first text interaction with Kimberly to meeting in person - we knew that we found someone we could trust! We got picture updates throughout the day, and each care instruction we provided was taken very serious. We will definitely be trusting Kimberly with our fur baby in the future. Thank you SO much!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have nearly 7 years of dog sitting experience starting in middle school. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities and I pride myself on being extremely attentive, reliable, and detail oriented with every pet. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once including caring for up to five dogs for 7+ days, so I’m very comfortable with both longer stays in higher-energy households.

I also really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help out last minute. Highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and professional dog walker. Thank you again!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner of border collies since I was a child. I love all dogs and cats, the calm and even the high energy ones :) I’ve spent years taking care of my own pets (parakeets, rabbits, chinchillas, ferrets, cats and dogs) and so I’m familiar with the needed care for even some exotic animals. I love going for evening runs and since my dog Millie passed away, I’ve been missing having some companions with me :) Hello! I’m currently a student, but I live year-round in Blacksburg. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available during those odd, weekday hours! Every animal needs different things and a different way of being approached. Some animals need more high energy play time, fast frisbee throws and runs through the park. Some need the slower walks, cuddles on the couch and to stop and smell the flowers. Whatever speed of play your pet needs, I’m more than happy to accommodate!

“Hannah arrived on time and had an excellent repoire when first meeting our 2 dogs. She was friendly and polite, and on the day she took care of the pups she sent photos. An excellent experience! Highly recommend.”
About: Hello, I'm Abby! If you worry about your pets when you're away, be rest assured that an animal care professional has your back. <3 Previously, I was a Rover sitter all throughout my undergraduate studies with frequent regulars. It is bittersweet, but I had to say goodbye to all of my fuzzy friends and their families when I moved away from Virginia Beach. Now, my day job is looking after research animals full-time for Virginia Tech! I have missed pet sitting and would love to have you as a client. I am experienced with a variety of breeds, ages, and unique needs! If you have special requests for exotic pets (fish, reptiles, small mammals, birds..) do not hesitate to reach out. What You Can Expect: * Compassion, respect, and patience! * Detail oriented care! * Communication at every visit! I will let you know that your pet has eaten, drank, been potty, etc... * Pictures! If you are comfortable with photos being taken of your pet in your home of course. * A caretaker you can trust. I currently work full-time and can handle drop ins in the early mornings and evenings. I would most likely visit your pet before & after my shifts. Lunchtime visits may be available with special request. When I come to you, I’ll make sure everything is the way I found it. I will keep an eye on your pets’ comfort levels and update you if anything is out of the ordinary.
About: From an early age, I've taken care of animals small-to-large, parrots-to-malamutes and I believe they're all special, giving us an endless quality of life 💓. Making time for ani-fam is never an inconvenience because it is a practice of fulfilling a pet's needs. ☺️ It also helps to fulfill my self-care/ spiritual health needs by nurturing another living being. I find I function best when I care for an animal as it keeps me on task, on schedule, and mentally happy, too! Our two family cats are fed early in the am/pm, plenty of (consensual) belly rubs, a daily lil' treat, playtime and plenty of nap time as well as personal space, as they see fit. We also share the past-time of birdwatching in the countryside. ✨ When it comes to your pet and your home, I am dedicated to respecting your pet's dietary restrictions, physical "play" needs, and always approaching with love and respect, as I will be the guest in their/your home. Between a strict regimen or low-maintenance regimen for your animal, I would require meeting with you/them in your space beforehand to make sure I get a thorough briefing. I also believe this helps with introductory bonding, showing I am a safe person to trust, and not cause unwanted stress on your pet.
About: I have over 500 hours of dog watching and raising experience (outside of my own pets) and spent over 800 hours volunteering cat care for kittens and disabled kitties I am a grad student with a totally flexible schedule and can work from home easily if needed! I will be able to incorporate your pet into my routine seamlessly. I also have the ability to fully care for your pet at their own home. I am able to be there often if needed or can stop by for occasional visits based off your own needs.
About: I am currently a student at Virginia Tech. I have been pet sitting and taking care of dogs for ten years and have loved each and every animal I have cared for as if they were my own. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and have trained them myself as I got older. I have experience with puppies under the age of one and will play with them until they can’t play anymore. When I care for your pets, I promise to give them as much love and affection as they get when you are there (possibly even more). Your animals are my top priority when I am caring for them, and I will love them as much as you do until you can get back to them. I am able to care for your pets any time. I will be starting school in the fall, but that will not impact the way I love and care for your pets due to the way my class schedule is structured. I have a very friendly lab that loves to play with other dogs. I ensure that when I am in someone else’s home, I am supervising the dogs while I also make sure they are getting the exercise and enrichment required for their breed and temperament. Every dog needs different treatment, and I will adjust the way I care for them based on their own needs.
“McCall is incredibly responsive and a great addition to our routine. She provides updates and pictures from their walk which is so appreciated. Our dog has epilepsy and she has gone out of her way to give my family peace of mind. I am confident our dog is happy and safe while in her care.”
About: I love spending my time with pets and have a love for all animals. I grew up surrounded by my two big dogs and sitting for family, friends, and neighbors.

I will not be able to house my clients pets in my home because I live in an apartment complex where pets are not welcome.
About: I worked at a small animal hospital for a year and a half over school breaks, so I can administer medications, do CPR, and work with a variety of dogs and cats. I also took many animal courses in college as an Animal Science major which helps me know more about animal behavior, training, and well-being. I fostered cats and have taken care of my own cats and dogs growing up. I also volunteer at an animal shelter in my free time to socialize cats and walk their dogs. I can provide any special instructions/requests you might have. I am a graduate student and am done classes! I have flexible work hours in a research lab and can make sure to be there for your pet! I am very reliable, responsible and will make sure you and your pet’s needs are met! I can feed, play, and cuddle with them along with any other requests you may have. I will do any tasks or instructions you provide me with for how you like things done with your pet in your home. I can take them on walks, play in your yard, practice training tasks, feed them, and provide mental stimulation.

“Shannon, and family, took such great care of our babies. On a daily basis, she kept us well informed of how they were doing and sent plenty of pictures so we felt at ease. The family loved snuggling with them which helped make our babies feel at home. This was our first time having someone other than family watch our dogs; Shannon made us feel comfortable while we spent time with family on vacation especially given our Bichon's separation anxiety. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

It was clear from the updates and from how happy and relaxed Frost was when we picked him up that he was well cared for and loved. Amari is reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs she watches. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Amari, for taking such great care of Frost!”

“My dog settled in immediatly. After a short exploration of the house, he went directly to Erin for a belly rub. He was very calm when I picked him up and went to Erin to say goodbye right before we left.”
About: I take care of pets for family when they need it and have experience caring for older pets, puppies, and those with special care instructions. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can take time to walk dogs during the day. I’m most available during the weekend and after 5 pm for over night boarding, but can potentially accommodate other schedules. I have no pets, so my home is perfect for less friendly pets. Crates will need to provided if they are needed for your pet, but I’m willing to keep up with their routine.
“My belgian malinois, had an amazing weekend with Carmen and her dogs. She was worn out and napped for half of the day afterwards. So, I know she had a great time. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer. Thank you!”
“Kim was great with our little girl Golden Retriever, Lexie. Kim and her boyfriend played ball with her and took her for a walk. Lexie also got to play with two Golden puppies. The fenced in backyard was wonderful for her to burn off that extra energy. Kim sent many pictures to let us know that Lexie was eating well and playing with the others. This was only a two day, one night stay but Kim and her boyfriend went out of their way to make sure Lexie was happy and that we were informed so we would not worry. It was a great experience.”
“Donna was highly recommended to us by some friends and she took excellent care of our dog Malcolm while we went out of town for a wedding. She gave him endless attention which was evident when we picked him up and he made himself comfortable on her lap! She sent us pictures and videos so we knew he was in good hands, and even took him to the park and for plenty of walks. We highly recommend Donna to anyone!!”
“Meeting Gretchen I knew right away she was willing and committed to taking care of our Daisy Lucille as we are!!! Daisy is 9 years old and has medications to take for CCL injuries that require her to be on a leash for potty breaks and being outside and can take short walks. She kept us informed of their days and shared everything Daisy did in her care. We are so lucky to have her help and so convenient where we live.”
“I’m a little offended but very impressed. 😂 When we came to pick up our pup he was visibly bummed that we were there to take him away from Samantha. He clearly had an absolute blast and immediately passed out in the car on the drive home. This was his first night away from us but we received lots of pictures and updates and felt very at peace knowing he was having fun and well cared for. Thank you for putting my dog mom mind at ease!”
“Our Golden, Eli, received, EXCELLENT care and attention ~ and Katie kept us updated daily, including photos, which kept us from worrying and assured us he was happy and doing well!!!”
“Veronica is great as always! Treats pets like family and her dogs do too :) We appreciate them every time and think our pup Sam is happy to see us but sad to leave his vacation home!”
