Julie was extremely responsive and always quick to answer any questions I had. We'll absolutely be bringing our pup back!”
“Matisa was great with taking care of Nakia for the week. She kept me updated with her daily activities and sent me pictures as well.

“Audree is the best! She took such awesome care of my big baby, Charlie! I loved getting updates and pics. Anyone looking for top notch care for their fur baby- Audree is the one! Only downside I had is that Charlie didn’t want to leave! She is so patient and knowledgeable. I cannot sing her praises enough.”
“Lorena was great! This was my first time boarding my dog through rover so I was a little nervous but Lorena completely eased my mind. My dog had a blast playing in her huge yard and with the other dogs there. I received lots of pictures and updates while my dog stayed with her which made me feel so comfortable!”

He came home and didn't move because he was so wore out. I really enjoyed her open communication. I will definitely be using Tracey in the future for Jack's boarding needs!”
“Heather was absolutely amazing!! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch my fur baby! She has such a kind soul and her love for animals is so easy to feel and a joy to witness. She sent me daily updates, pictures and videos without me having to ask! My mind was at ease the whole time I was away and I know she ensured Booboo was comfortable as he could be. I can’t thank her enough. I’m so happy to have found her, she’s truly a gem 🩷”
“Lisa is one hour and 15 min from our house, and worth every minute to drive down to her house to drop off our dog. Exceptional daily updates, very experienced with senior dogs, and great care for our special pets. She is our go-to sitter. Thank you!!”

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.
“Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.”
“They were amazing!! Our cats were well cared for, and we received several photos and videos of our cats :) We would heavily recommend that you go with Amanda for all your pet sitting needs!!”
“Finding Melissa and having her help care for and pamper Sky during these days has been a true blessing. Both my cat Sky and my family clicked with her immediately. Melissa is incredibly loving and empathetic, as well as helpful and proactive. She kept us posted on everything. We are so grateful for her excellent support. The fact that she is bilingual adds even more value to her work. Thank you so much, Melissa! 🙏🏼”
About: My first cat was named Jasper. He was a tiger stripe American shorthair with Jasper colored eyes (hence his name). He was a stray we took in, and we noticed he had a slight limp. After a visit to the vet, and some x-rays were taken, it was clear his left hip had been injured when he was younger (vet approximated his age to be 10 at the time). I cared for him while he had his cone, after his leg was amputated (poor guy!), ensuring he received the proper medications on time. My second cat was an all-black stray (not sure his breed), but I named him Kuro. I had him for a year and some change and gave him to my friend after moving to a pet-free community. I missed having a cat, so I searched and found Naruto, who was only 10 days old, and I adopted him on the spot! I've taught him all his little quirks, including back-talking lol! I trained him to come at the sound of a particular whistle, to jump up on something after I tap, or scrape it in a certain pattern, and taught him to play fetch! I am able to administer medications Intravenous, or Sub-q, as well as advise on best care practices!
