“What can I say? Holli is simply phenomenal! This was our first trip away from the boys and there was some trepidation on our part. We booked Holli for a familiarization visit before our trip. She was outgoing, interactive and all about getting to know Vincent and Jules. We booked 2, hour long visits each day, morning and evening. Holli arrived, took care of the boys, spent time playing with them, ensuring all their needs were met and provided updates and pictures of each visit. Jules is the shyest of the two and it took a couple visits, but he was warming up to her. Thank you Holli! You are superb and we greatly appreciate your taking care of our furry family members. You are our go-to for any and all future Rover needs.”
“Katherine was SO GREAT with my cat Clio!! Spent lots of time with her, sent the best pictures, and replied so fast! I will definitely be reaching out to her for future trips & I highly recommend!”
“Sara was terrific, as usual. She sent daily reports, with photos, of my cats. She was also responsive to questions. She even brought in a couple of packages that arrived while I was away. Will definitely book with Sara again.”
“Cheyenne was super professional caring and looking after our orange cat Cheeto! She visited him everyday we were out of town and gave us updates on what he’d been up to. She even cleaned up an unexpected mess and left our house in better condition. Cheeto seemed to enjoy her visits and I would definitely hire Cheyenne again for all my future pet-sitting needs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Jessica was awesome! We loved the updates and pictures of our kitty while we were gone and she even looked after our feral kitties and possum (great for killing ticks). We will definitely be using her again!”
“Reliable, Trustworthy, and easy to work with! I will be hiring Erika in the future. She helped me over the Christmas & New Years holiday by stopping in to check on my house cat. She provided thorough messages after visits and good pictures.”
“Mary is amazing! We have kittens that are not socialized and hide whenever anyone comes to the house. Mary was able to gain their trust so that she would see them and assure us that our kitties were doing well. Will definitely book Mary for future trips!”
“Exceptional Pet Sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amanda was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, helpful, and highly responsive. Her communication was perfect throughout the entire stay—she kept me constantly updated, asked great questions to ensure Winnie had everything she needed, and went above and beyond by asking if there was anything else she could help with around the house. The photos she sent on a regular basis brought so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Amanda! Highly recommended!”
“Ligia was awesome! Our cat loved her. She is kind, reliable, and is a great communicator. We felt comfortable while away knowing that our fur baby was well taken care of. We will definitely book with her again.”

“Tiffany, David and their kids were amazing! I needed a last minute cat daycare option and they were incredibly sweet to say yes for a 6 a.m. drop off the next morning. Henry had a lovely time, which including a walk on his leash and a very cold AC vent when he got back. He didn't want to leave, which is a great sign!”
“My cat was very happy to spend time and play with Svetlana during my 3-week vacation. Svetlana visited him daily and managed all of the necessities plus play time with my cat. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her services.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we are so thankful that we found Chris to care for our cats while we were away. Our family really appreciated how well he took the time to play with and cuddle our cats while he was there caring for their other needs. Thank you!”

“I was so happy to find this sitter! We just adopted a rescue dog. He has a lot of anxiety. He needs special care while he is adjusting to his new home. Because of his anxiety he needs a low stimulation environment. She has been so good working with my dogs special needs! I can’t say enough good about her!! We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!”
“Susannah is amazing! She was able to accommodate my last minute booking. She fed my pup with her pup's food because I completely forgot to pack his. She walked, played and kept me updated on my puppy. Gus gets a wiggle butt when he sees Susannah and her pup. She's been so great to work with.”

“We were near Fredricksburg for the the weekend and we wanted to go eat at the restaurant so we found Kindall; luckily she was only 4 minutes away from where we wanted to dine. We were able to drop him off , Kindall greeted us outside and Spider felt comfortable right away with her. We felt at eat ease leaving him for about 2 hours. We were able to enjoy our meal without having to rush and even went shopping after. Kindall kept us updated by sending us photos and communicating. We did not have to give her anything as she said she would give him her own treats. We will highly recommend and use Kindall in the future again, she was very sweet and patient with spider.”
“⸻ Pedro had an amazing day with Yeny and Ray! He got plenty of playtime with his new furry friends, Charlie and Leo. When we got home, Pedro was happily tired and ready for bed. Yeny and Ray sent us photos and videos throughout the day, and communication was great. We’ll definitely book with them again!”
About: I absolutely adore animals. I have four children who are also huge animal lovers so if you board with us in home your pet will be absolutely doted on. Pet parents will be hard pressed to find a family that will take better care of your pet or give them as much love and attention. I love being outside and going on long walks and would love to accompany your dog on their daily walk. We have a tremendous amount of time to play with your pet, take them on walks, and give them the attention they not only require but also deserve. We have a decent sized fenced in yard which is perfect for lots of play time! We are very attentive to animals and have experience giving medication including shots.
“Our dear Pup ALWAYS has a good time hanging out with Larissa! When he knows that we’re pulling up to her house, he starts to get SUPER excited which makes us feel good❤️! She is truly a godsend!!”
About: I've been caring for dogs of all ages for over 7 years. I worked at a dog daycare for over 5 years. I helped watch up to 30 dogs of all ages and sizes on my own. I also helped bathe them, trim/dremmel their nails, and clean their ears/teeth. I currently work remotely from 10am-7pm. Also my account is marked as a smoking home as for boarding and daycare purposes as my mother-in-law lives with us and she smokes in her room. I do not smoke at all. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once. I have been certified for cpr for canines as well. I have also been trained to break up incidents between dogs as well through my job at a dogdaycare and apply basic medical treatment to injuries.
“Chris was very patient, flexible, accommodating, and understanding. We had last minute plans and needed someone to look after our Saint Bernard. We did a meet and greet and a daycare session to get her comfortable before we leave and he did a great job!”
“Sarah is wonderful with my dog Fern! She took the time to introduce her 2 dogs to Fern before daycare started. I could tell Fern had a great time! Definitely will be staying at Sarah's for future visits!”
“Christie brought a sense of calmness towards our Joji as soon as we arrived. She is very sweet, friendly, and flexible - it was a plus that she was able to work with our hours, we’ll definitely book her again :)”
“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs. Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”
About: I have owned dogs since I was 4 years old. Ranging from big to small. I am very good with animals and love going on walks. I currently go to college locally. I work a part time job but I have a lot of free time. I have a very open schedule I don’t have a fence because my dogs are trained to stay in the yard, so I go on walks with dogs I sit. I have stayed in peoples houses while their on trips and watched and cared for their animals. Make sure they eat and go on plenty of walks, but also make sure they get some love.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!
“My dogs had a fun time getting their steps in with Cheyenne. As always, they came back relaxed and ready to nap after a great walk. She kept me updated through the Rover card afterwards with a detailed note and took plenty of cute pictures. She's my go to for pet care needs! Strongly recommend to anyone in the area looking for someone to love your fur babies as much as you do!”
“Jessica did amazing with our dog Molly! She left extensive and detailed notes each day about the walk. I loved receiving multiple photos each day. It gave us good peace of mind knowing Molly was being taken care of someone we could trust. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I truly appreciate the excellent service I received. She was very attentive and made me feel like she genuinely cared about my dog. I especially appreciate her accepting my request last minute and still providing such great service. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to my friends.”
About: I’ve had experiences not only taking care of my own animals but also watching my friends and families pets. I’m able to walk for however long a pet needs and I’m able to remember when a pet needs to be taken out or fed. I’m also able to adapt easily if the pet has any conditions or disabilities that I need to accommodate to. I’m always available at any time whether it’s mornings or nights. I may have trips but whenever I’m home, I’m always looking for something to do. I always make sure they’re comfortable with me before petting then it playing, considering I never want to force anything. I make sure to feed them on time and take then out whenever it is needed. I also love walking my own dogs all the time.
“Anika is an amazing dog walker! Storm can be territorial and temperamental when meeting new people. Anika was patient and kind with Storm, they ended up bonding quite well! Anika has great personality is awesome with communication and punctual. Can't praise her enough 🎉”
About: I have experience caring for large dogs and have had three rescue Labrador retrievers as an adult. I have also had experience as a dog foster working with local shelters. As a recent retiree, I am spending my time between volunteering with my daughter's school and the local humane society, leaving plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. I have a fenced yard and a friendly 7 year-old black Labrador. We have two crates if any of the pups need to be crated. If in your home, I will follow instructions provided to insure that your pup receives the proper care.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have loved them for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals is second nature to me. In fact, I’m the proud owner of a sweet 4-year-old Golden Retriever, so I fully understand the daily dedication, love, and attention that dogs need to thrive! For over a decade, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in, feed, walk, and play with their pets. I treat every animal with the same high level of care and patience that I give my own pup, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a seamless part of my daily routine since I already manage a structured schedule for my own dog. I have excellent availability throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, and playtime, ensuring your pet gets consistent attention and care right when they need it. Having grown up around dogs and raising my own pup, I know exactly how to maintain a safe, low-stress environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure all environments are secure before playtime. You can always count on receiving frequent communication, photo updates, and careful attention to your pet's specific safety needs. I also have a fenced in backyard at my own home and a 4 year old friendly golden retriever.
“Paige took great care and did very well with Eli on his walks, she even made sure he was content with a nice treat at the end. I would highly recommend Paige and will definitely be utilizing her services again.”
“Lisa is AMAZING! Bane and her clicked right off the bat. He enjoys his walks and the love she gives him while I am away at work. She is number one in my book and I couldn’t ask for a better person to watch my baby boy. I highly recommend her for any service you may need.”
About: I have over 15 years of pet care experience, including caring for my own pets and petsitting for friends and family. I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have three cats of my own and have experience administering various types of medication, including oral meds and topical treatments. I also regularly care for several community cats, so I’m comfortable working with shy, independent, and less social animals. Whether your pet is playful, anxious, energetic, or aloof, I’ll provide thoughtful, loving care that meets their unique needs. I currently offer drop-in visits and walks Friday through Sunday in the Fredericksburg, VA area, with flexible availability throughout each day. Whether you need a quick walk or some weekend companionship for your pet, I’m happy to help make your time away stress-free! My heart has always belonged to animals. I own three cats and grew up with dogs, and I have loved them all. Am willing to play, scratch behind ears, match enthusiasm, or be ignored, all for the love of pets.
“Chloe has been a lifesaver!! She sends us detailed messages and cute pictures of our dog, Buddy, from each and every visit. It is very clear she is an animal person and trustworthy in her patience and loving interactions. Thank you so much!”
“Erin came through for us in a pinch! We felt very relieved knowing she was there to get our Niko through the day without us home. She even came into an unfortunate garbage bin excavation that had been tracked across the floor with a guilty Niko suspiciously at the scene of the crime (lesson learned) and Erin went out of her way to clean up the mess. She was very proactive in communications and provided all the details of his care. Will definitely be booking again and highly recommend!”
“Allie came by to meet our pup before taking care of him, which we really appreciated! She spent extra time with Teddy and made sure he was walked and fed. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Amazing! She is the kindest animal lover. I feel like my girl had summer camp and a week with grandma all rolled together. She gave great daily feedback and supportive pictures to get me through my separation anxiety. I am so glad I went this route and didn’t board my girl.”
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 were in a bind since the dog kennel was booked. River app came in handy to find someone to watch our dogs. Aside from watching two mini- doxies for a day and a half, our dogs benefited from being around new people and new environment to help them socialize more. At first I wasn’t sure how they would do in a strangers home but they seemed very entertained and taken care of. Tiffany sent us photo updates as well which was nice to get.”
