“Whitney was so amazing with our dogs. This was our first time using Rover and she made the booking process smooth and simple. We were so comfortable leaving our girls with her. We got daily updates and photos of our dogs and the adventures they had the farm. We were at ease and able to enjoy our time away from home without any worries. I will be recommending her to our friends and we will be booking with her again.”
“Leslie is incredibly kind and attentive. She took my dog out for a lot of exercise, and kept him happy and safe while I was away. She provided plenty of photos and video updates and followed instructions to a T. She has a big backyard and comfortable looking house in a quiet neighborhood. My dog is usually pretty shy and can take a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he was right at home with Leslie. I would definitely recommend her to others, and plan to book with her again in the future.”
“This experience was amazing! My doggies came home sooo happy and got so much outside play time. She was so sweet and responsive. I hope to have the opportunity to use her for our next trip.”
“Highly recommend Leah and Christopher for dog sitting! Finn felt right at home and loved running around their fenced yard. They were very helpful wi the my changing schedule and sent lots of pix of Finn! We will definitely ask to come back!”
“Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with. We did an initial visit then she agreed to watch on the spot. April, her dog, is amazing as well. We will definitely go with her again!”
“Jessica truly went above and beyond while taking care of our dog Frank! She provided many updates and pictures and we knew he was in great care! She is amazing with dogs and would absolutely use her again!”
“Another wonderful stay with Scott and Sarah! They are terrific dog sitters - so kind and friendly and our two energetic dogs love to run around the woods with them!”
“My Pup felt right at home and probably got more attention than she ever gets at home. Tara and her family spoiled her with love. Their backyard was a dream for my ball obsessed pup. Tara is great about sending pictures and checking in.”
“This was our first time with Jennifer, and it was the best experience! Her dog Charolette has now become my girls best friend. Jennifer was very responsive and sent tons of pictures. She made our trip wonderful because we knew our girls were well cared for!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!”
“It was indeed a lucky day for me when I found Heather. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to find a good sitter for our Ella when our previous sitter was no longer available. I have to say Heather more than provided a replacement......she excelled beyond my expectations!I can not say enough how having Heather's services gave me peace of mind while I was away.I really appreciate the emails and photo updates during my trip.I find her very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does.She's fantastic!!! If you are looking for someone to care for your furry friend/s, DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER, you have found the right lady!!!! Love, Ella & Family”
“Aubreyann was great! She took time with introducing our dog who tends to be nervous about other dogs to her dogs and provided us updates. She was also very adaptable and made the care of our baby so easy, thank you again!!!!”
“Jaime, Mike and their daughters took excellent care of our dog while we were away on vacation. They went above and beyond to make our dog feel happy and loved, even preparing special meals for him when he struggled to eat due to separation anxiety. They treated him like a member of the family and provided regular updates and photos to us. I couldn’t have asked for more caring and dedicated dog sitters! Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave to our fur baby! We will be booking you again!”
About: I grew up on a mini farm surrounded by animals — from lizards and hermit crabs to dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from anxious puppies and kittens to senior dogs with health or mobility challenges, as well as cats with special needs. Every pet in my care receives the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m available to provide flexible care around errands and appointments, giving your pets love, attention, playtime, companionship, and comfort throughout the day, tailored to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines carefully to ensure comfort and familiarity. Pets are supervised at all times, with fresh water, treats, and attention. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, adapting to any special needs, mobility issues, or anxieties. Safety, consistency, and love are my priorities, so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. In my home, I introduce pets safely, separating them from my own during initial meetings. I provide a secure space for each pet and use mini fencing to ensure safety, even though my property is not fully fenced. I follow the same level of care and safety as I would in your home.
“It is obvious from how my dog behaves when I drop her off that she loves spending time with Maria. Maria makes her feel so comfortable in her home and goes out of her way to tend to her needs. We get updates with pictures to let us know how our dog is doing, but we do not worry because we know she is in good hands.”
“Rachel took on my lab with a seizure disorder with confidence. He came home happy and tired and clearly well treated. Rachel was responsive when I checked in and it was a relief to know he was being well cared for while I had to be away. Will book again!”
“Jessica took amazing care of my dog Ruby while I was traveling. She sent consistent updates every morning and evening, including details about Ruby’s walks, meals, bathroom habits, and mood. Ruby got long walks, backyard playtime, and lots of attention. When Ruby skipped a meal, Jessica monitored her closely and kept me fully informed until everything was normal again. Her communication was excellent and gave me total peace of mind. Ruby was happy, safe, and well‑cared for. I would absolutely book Jessica again.”

About: I have three cats of my own and have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Over the years, I’ve looked after everything from playful kittens to senior cats with special medical requirements. I understand that cats often need time and patience to warm up to new people, and I always approach them with a calm, gentle demeanor to build trust at their pace. Whether your cat loves playtime, prefers quiet companionship, or needs specific feeding or medication routines, I’ll make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away. I also keep litter boxes clean, maintain feeding schedules, and provide enrichment based on each cat’s personality. I’ll send regular photo and text updates so you can feel confident that your feline friend is happy and in good hands. I provide services in Castleton, Amissville, Rixeyville, Little Washington, Warrenton, and Culpeper. I am willing to travel to other towns. I am negotiable with prices. Please feel free to reach out! I’d love to meet you and your fur babies!!

Her home is beautiful and accommodates dogs - lots of toys, blanket to snuggle in or rest next to Leslie on sofa. Backyard is big and fenced in - a doggies dream backyard.

We are so excited that Leslie has started Rover sitting — she is a gem and we are already signing up for another daycare sitting. 🙏🐾❤️”
About: * If you live in Poland I will give you a 10% discount on house sitting Hi, I’m Makaylah! I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide range of pets—including dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, mice, and chickens. I work from home full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I practice positive reinforcement only. It helps build trust, keep things safe, and it is most successful for long term behavior. I like to include trick training during my visits. I've helped dogs learn sit, down, shake, speak, spin, and touch (nose to hand). It’s a great way to keep them mentally engaged and build confidence, especially for anxious pups. I also have experience in administering oral medications and caring for senior animals. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own, and I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. Im wfh and have pets of my own so I'm always home! My schedule is overall very flexible, and I can shift things around to make things work especially for repeats. Go on vacation or give yourself a weekend away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your care instructions closely and keep routines consistent to help your pet feel secure. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard where they can play and explore safely. No matter the place, I will focus on maintaining a calm, secure environment.
About: Animals definitely perceive my positive attitude, and people do too. I genuinely love making cats and dogs happy. I often talk to any animal quite a bit because I believe a calm tone of voice is good for them psychologically. Additionally, I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats throughout the years, working in kennel facilities and through ownership, and I understand what is required to keep them happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule, with much time to ensure your pets get the exercise he or she needs, and the attention they deserve. They won't be lonely while you're away! Additionally, I can administer any medications necessary and follow any special dietary restrictions. Your cats and dogs are in good hands with me! I center taking care of my own animals around my daily schedule. I do my best to keep their regular feeding times ,and for my dogs walking times at expected hours. It can be difficult, but it wouldn't be fair for them to not know what to expect. So ultimately, I adjust my required needs around their schedule in terms of errands, and etcetera. I care for pets in a way they are accustomed to; meaning regular schedules for feeding, walks and/or medication. If they are staying in my home, I would try to provide the most comfortable accommodations as possible while awaiting their people. But in a client's home, I would just coddle the pet, give them comfort, and again - keep them on the schedule they are accustomed to.
About: In our home your dog will receive a lot of love from our family and companionship from our two dogs. We have a golden retriever and a Bernese mountain dog. They are both 3 years old. We have bred each of them once and are used to having small puppies around. We have a large, fenced backyard for your dog to play safely. Your dog will be part of the family during their stay. We will take them on daily walks and will receive lots of cuddles. Besides intermittent outings, I will be home with your dog, the whole time. I have had dogs for many years, but I have dog sat dogs for the last two years. Your dog will be a part of our family. I homeschool my children and so we are home most of the time. We do have outings but are usually back within 4 hours. I can usually accommodate our schedule if your pet needs care more often than that, if I know in advance. I have a fenced back yard and two dogs of my own. I can also crate the dogs or separate the different areas of the house if there are any safety concerns.
About: I have 20+ years of pet experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and more. I am available for dog boarding in my home for multiple dogs. I am comfortable giving medications. I can make multiple visits to your home while you are gone. Let me know what your needs are and we can find a suitable accommodation for your pet. They will be loved like our own.

About: I started my journey with dogs 4 years ago and have not looked back enjoying every moment since. I am a certified trainer who loves improving the relationship between human and dog. We have a dog yard plus 5 acres. All dogs stay in our extra bedroom, which is now considered the dog room. I personally have two dogs, a cattle dog and a husky mix. They are both very social with all other dogs. We like to have a good time here but I keep a very safe environment for the dogs, no fighting or picking on one another. NO DOG IS TURNED AWAY. If you think your dog is aggressive, I can and will evaluate them so that if possible, we will get them socializing with their own kind and having a great time. Thanks, have a good day! I train dogs for a living so I stay at my house 7 days a week besides when I work with clients and those lessons tend to run about an hour but no more than 2 hours! I have 9 years experience running my own kennel and have two dogs with a large fence so there will be no boredom here! I do prefer to kennel dogs for the night but as we get comfortable with each other they will start to earn more freedom! Pet care is my full time job and i wouldn’t have it any other way, it has been a blessing. I hope I can help make your schedule less stressful! While you’re away, let your dogs play! I have a five foot fenced in dog yard specifically for dogs. We also have another 5 acres that we will walk all client dogs on during their stay with us.-

I work from home with a flexible part-time schedule, giving me plenty of time and availability to provide attentive care and drop-in visits for your pets.

“Tori was fantastic! Our dog and cat LOVED her! She was reliable and paid attention to our fur babies. We will definitely be booking her in the future. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!!”
About: I love all dogs, no matter the shape or size. When I was younger, I never had a dog of my own, but all the dogs in my neighborhood were "mine" when I went to visit them. I love letting dogs snuggle up with me when they're all tuckered out. Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to cats, so I only accept dogs. I am currently seeking part-time employment, but I'd like to continue as a pet sitter as a side gig. I love animals of all sizes, and I love taking care of them. A dog’s safety is my number one priority. During meet and greets, I verify how the owner handles letting the dogs out during the day, whether it’s in a fenced yard or on a leash.

“Whitney was so amazing with our dogs. This was our first time using Rover and she made the booking process smooth and simple. We were so comfortable leaving our girls with her. We got daily updates and photos of our dogs and the adventures they had the farm. We were at ease and able to enjoy our time away from home without any worries. I will be recommending her to our friends and we will be booking with her again.”
“Leslie is incredibly kind and attentive. She took my dog out for a lot of exercise, and kept him happy and safe while I was away. She provided plenty of photos and video updates and followed instructions to a T. She has a big backyard and comfortable looking house in a quiet neighborhood. My dog is usually pretty shy and can take a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he was right at home with Leslie. I would definitely recommend her to others, and plan to book with her again in the future.”
“This experience was amazing! My doggies came home sooo happy and got so much outside play time. She was so sweet and responsive. I hope to have the opportunity to use her for our next trip.”
“Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with. We did an initial visit then she agreed to watch on the spot. April, her dog, is amazing as well. We will definitely go with her again!”
“Jessica truly went above and beyond while taking care of our dog Frank! She provided many updates and pictures and we knew he was in great care! She is amazing with dogs and would absolutely use her again!”
“Another wonderful stay with Scott and Sarah! They are terrific dog sitters - so kind and friendly and our two energetic dogs love to run around the woods with them!”
“My Pup felt right at home and probably got more attention than she ever gets at home. Tara and her family spoiled her with love. Their backyard was a dream for my ball obsessed pup. Tara is great about sending pictures and checking in.”
“This was our first time with Jennifer, and it was the best experience! Her dog Charolette has now become my girls best friend. Jennifer was very responsive and sent tons of pictures. She made our trip wonderful because we knew our girls were well cared for!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!”
“It was indeed a lucky day for me when I found Heather. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to find a good sitter for our Ella when our previous sitter was no longer available. I have to say Heather more than provided a replacement......she excelled beyond my expectations!I can not say enough how having Heather's services gave me peace of mind while I was away.I really appreciate the emails and photo updates during my trip.I find her very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does.She's fantastic!!! If you are looking for someone to care for your furry friend/s, DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER, you have found the right lady!!!! Love, Ella & Family”

“Jaime, Mike and their daughters took excellent care of our dog while we were away on vacation. They went above and beyond to make our dog feel happy and loved, even preparing special meals for him when he struggled to eat due to separation anxiety. They treated him like a member of the family and provided regular updates and photos to us. I couldn’t have asked for more caring and dedicated dog sitters! Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave to our fur baby! We will be booking you again!”
About: I grew up on a mini farm surrounded by animals — from lizards and hermit crabs to dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from anxious puppies and kittens to senior dogs with health or mobility challenges, as well as cats with special needs. Every pet in my care receives the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m available to provide flexible care around errands and appointments, giving your pets love, attention, playtime, companionship, and comfort throughout the day, tailored to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines carefully to ensure comfort and familiarity. Pets are supervised at all times, with fresh water, treats, and attention. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, adapting to any special needs, mobility issues, or anxieties. Safety, consistency, and love are my priorities, so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. In my home, I introduce pets safely, separating them from my own during initial meetings. I provide a secure space for each pet and use mini fencing to ensure safety, even though my property is not fully fenced. I follow the same level of care and safety as I would in your home.
“It is obvious from how my dog behaves when I drop her off that she loves spending time with Maria. Maria makes her feel so comfortable in her home and goes out of her way to tend to her needs. We get updates with pictures to let us know how our dog is doing, but we do not worry because we know she is in good hands.”
“Rachel took on my lab with a seizure disorder with confidence. He came home happy and tired and clearly well treated. Rachel was responsive when I checked in and it was a relief to know he was being well cared for while I had to be away. Will book again!”
“Jessica took amazing care of my dog Ruby while I was traveling. She sent consistent updates every morning and evening, including details about Ruby’s walks, meals, bathroom habits, and mood. Ruby got long walks, backyard playtime, and lots of attention. When Ruby skipped a meal, Jessica monitored her closely and kept me fully informed until everything was normal again. Her communication was excellent and gave me total peace of mind. Ruby was happy, safe, and well‑cared for. I would absolutely book Jessica again.”
“I have to be very picky when choosing sitters as one pup has separation anxiety and will not stay with just anyone. I have had many issues with past sitters being dishonest and not following my guidance but I HIGHLY recommend Tanine!!! I have two very high energy pups (golden doodle and lab). She kept me updated, good and bad, and made sure to give my pup his meds with enough time for them to be effective prior to crating. She ensured to make them as comfortable as possible through the day and I truly appreciate her level of care. I specifically chose her due to the training background and I am so glad I followed through though there were not many reviews. I did not have to ask for pictures or updates throughout. She has small children that seem to love dogs so I know my pups received comfort as they love children. She is a gem! To have the patience and be willing to work with us through his anxiety is not something you find in all Rover sitters. Glad to have finally found a permanent option!”
