“Once again, Cindy was the best! My dog was happy to see Cindy. She treats my dog like one of the family. She makes sure she’s fed, walked, and sends me pictures and a note. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Cindy is the best!!”
“Even thought this was his first visit to Michelle, Rusty was very comfortable wth Michelle and her family. He seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up. I am sure he enjoyed the large fenced back yard.”
“Could not have asked for a better experience. I could tell my dog was well loved and cared for. Tara has great communication and provided daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use her time and time again.”
“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!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have cared for many dogs of various breeds & sizes throughout my life and currently have three dogs and two cats at home. Besides cats & dogs, I have also cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, hamsters, chickens, goats, and sheep! For the past two years, I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Winchester, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I am confident working with playful puppies, senior pets, and everyone in between. I am patient, outgoing, and truly love providing animals with the care and attention they deserve. I am a student at Virginia Tech, so I have availability here and there throughout the day! I am also available most evenings/nights for longer periods of time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.
“Such a great experience from the meet and greet to picking up our two pups at the end of their stay. Katherine’s knowledge, experience and love for animals was seen clearly through all parts of the process. She is very responsive and getting daily pictures during their stay was just the best! Her comfy indoor space and beautiful outdoor spaces provide a great environment for whatever your pup needs, from zoomies to cuddles. Knowing Chipper and Dutchess were being cared for and loved on by Katherine put our minds at ease and helped us fully enjoy our time away. We will absolutely book again!”
“Tamara was amazing with our Autumn and so attentive. She communicated with us while we were away and made sure Autumn was comfortable and well cared for. We will definitely be using her amazing services again.”
“My dogs Huey & Edward had a great time with Alicia & her boys. So happy to have found a great rover near me that I can trust with my dogs! She gave them great exercise & so much love.”
“Kristen was extremely nice and responsive to us! When we picked up our pup he was absolutely exhausted from playing all weekend. She packed up all of his toys and had them ready to go when we came for pickup too! I would 100% recommend leaving your pup with her and we look forward to using her again in the future!”
“Lori was amazing with our fearful German Shepherd Fiona. this was our first time booking with Lori and she took pictures every day we were gone and gave us updates. It made us feel so much better. When we brought Fiona home she was so much happier than she has been leaving her with other people or a kennel. So grateful for Lori and her husband and we will definitely be using her again.”
“I have an older min pin that hasn’t ever been away from me with someone she hasn’t known before. When I brought her over for a visit before the booking, I knew immediately my baby was going to be taken care of and would be safe. I got a bunch of pictures and videos of my baby girl and I could tell she was being taken care of as if it were me. I would recommend Min & Matt to family and friends, which says a ton about the way they took care of her.”
“Walter G. and his loving family ? were very Wonderful! Our Beagle dog “Wrangler” felt comfortable immediately at their home. Walter and his family was very understanding and caring towards him. Our dog can be very shy sometimes and yet he seemed to really warm up to the family very quickly. Inclusive, one of his little girl’s got so adorably attached, that it was so heart warming to see her shed a couple of tears ☺️ We truly highly recommend Walter G. and his family. He will most certainly be on our top list for boarding and care and we will most certainly be honored to have them take care of our boy again.”
“Alexys was easy to communicate with and was a wonderful fit for our dog! She gave us updates during his stay and he was super comfortable with there. We're so happy to have found her and will book again!”
“Joel and Janelle are so wonderful! They took the time to meet us prior to booking to make sure our furry girl would be comfortable in their home. They have a beautiful home and a spacious fenced in yard! They are so open to communication and even sent us pictures of our love while we were gone unprompted! They are definitely going to be seeing our girl again!”
“We just love Tetiana. Period. She is so caring, wonderful, attentive, and responsible. This is our pup’s second stay with her and I know he is very well take care of because he is happy and completely relaxed when we pick him up. Tetiana gives us daily updates with pictures and messages. I can see how much fun he is having with Tetiana’s little puppy Toph. Thank you so much, Tetiana. We really appreciate you!”
“We had such a great experience with this dog boarding home! We felt completely at ease the entire time he was there. We loved getting regular updates with pictures, videos, and texts throughout the week — it made such a difference seeing how happy and well cared for he was. By the end, I was almost worried he wouldn’t want to come home because he was having so much fun! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a loving, attentive place for your pup. 🐾”
“Kalley was amazing!! I needed a new sitter as my previous sitter stopped doing in-home boarding, and Kalley was phenomenal. She was very attentive and kept me updated daily on how Marley was doing via text and pictures. I knew he was extremely comfortable in her home which really put me at ease. Thank you Kalley to you and your family for taking such good care of Marley!”
“Linda took such good care of our two little ones. She sent updates to let us know how well they adjusted to being in her care (nine days). You can tell how much Linda loves your fur babies by the updates she sends you; its all about how much fun she is having with them. I highly recommend Linda. Will definitely use her again.”
“Yzabella took such wonderful care of Marley, and he had a great time with her and her family!! She kept me updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and videos, which was so appreciated and showed how happy and well cared for he was. I’m also incredibly grateful that she was available on such short notice. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly stand out. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet! 🐾”

“Sarah and Rover was such a good choice for us. 3 catz, each with distinct needs requires a special touch, and Sarah has that, and more! We are 100% satisfied with this service and will use Sarah for our pets again. Kudos to Rover!”
“She is really great. I had a last minute request, and she was very accomodating. I can tell from the pictures I get of them they are okay with her as opposed to most other people. I completely trust her with my cats.”
“Tess did an amazing job sitting for our pups. Punctual, very communicative, and most importantly our dogs were tuckered out at the end of the day. Will definitely hire again, A++ reliable sitter!”
“Kimberly was great! She came over ahead of my trip to meet the cats and learn the routine, and even knew how to win over my skittish kitten to the point he was no longer scared of her. She sent plenty of photos and lots of informational updates on her arrival/how the visits went. 10/10 would recommend ❤️🐾”
“Lauren was very caring, responsible and communicative. She is amazing and I 100% recommend her. I will try to book her all the time we need visits for our cat. Thanks Lauren!”
“Disha was exceptional. She extended her care more than any other pet sitter I have ever had-- and the pets took to her immediately in our meet-and-greet. She went beyond what I expected and communicated with notes, photos and videos with every visit. I was also very impressed by her knowledge and experience with both wildlife and veterinary care. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will certainly rebook now that I know I can leave my cats and fish in her capable hands.”
“Sherry was amazing! We decided to go on a last minute trip and she met with us the night before we left. She was so nice and a joy to be around so we knew Charlie would love her! This was our first time leaving him but we were reassured by her personality. She did everything we wanted and more. We can't thank her enough and we highly recommend her! We will definitely use her services in the future!”
“Audrey was great with both our cats and was very attentive to their habits/behaviors. We were much at ease knowing that audrey was taking care of the babues while we were away!”
“Grace was such a great sitter while we were away for a few days. She had great communication and provided lovely pictures of our cat. She did a phenomenal job and would use her again and recommend to others!”
About: Animals have been a crucial part of my life and family from birth! My fur babies mean the world to me and I know yours do to you as well! That is why I will strive to provide the same high quality, loving care that I would expect for my own pets. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, rats, tortoises, lizards, and snakes. I currently have 2 loving dogs named Thelma and Louise and a cat named Izzy. I have 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency medicine. Although it has been awhile since I worked in the field (I am now a high school teacher), I am still confident in providing both oral and subcutaneous (injectable) medications and any other basic medical care. I also have several years of house sitting services and have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, as well as horses (former pony club member), goats, and pigs. It would be my pleasure to give your pets all the love while you are away, while also taking care of things like watering plants, getting mail, etc. I am currently a full time teacher, but am available for pop in visits or walks after school during the week (I can be to most of my service area by 3:30 pm) and can do pop ins or walks throughout the day on weekends. I am also available for overnights on weekends. My availability will open up for the summer, so hit me up for loving pet care so you can enjoy those summer vacations! My pets are family in my home, and I will treat them the same in yours! Whatever your typical routines and practices are, I will do everything in my power to uphold so that your pet is able to keep as much consistency in your absence as possible. I walk my dogs most afternoons and am happy to provide walks for yours as well!
About: Grew up dog sitting many different breeds and ages. Had a beagle myself growing up. While in the military and overseas I got my German shepherd. I fostered a pitt, Frenchie, and a mastiff overseas as well. Very comfortable providing care needed and medication. I am in school full time online, this provides me with a lot of free time that will allow me to provide extra care for your animals. I live in a great area where I can walk and care for different animals. Your animals will feel very safe with me caring for them.

“My dog is very shy and has separation anxiety but Sarah made her feel right at home. I could see from the pictures and videos just how great of a time she was having. I’ll definitely be brining her back!”
“Abby and her husband were great hosts! Awesome communication and everything was made easy and smooth for a last minute request. Their dogs Maple Syrup and Moose were such good puppy hosts and played well with our dog. We received plentiful videos and pictures of the fun!”
“Charity was super responsive and sent pictures of Jax right away! My schedule was a bit in flux and Charity was very understanding and willing to work with me. Jax came home happy and tuckered out from a day of playing!”
“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!”
“Erin took great care of my dog Rosie! Erin has watched my dog at her home and done a check in at my house. Both visits went perfectly. Rosie gets super excited when she sees Erin and I love the photos she sends. I would highly recommend Erin!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly second nature to me. I’ve worked in a veterinary office for five years—both in the kennel and as a veterinary assistant—so I’m comfortable handling pets with all kinds of needs, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler touch. I earned my Bachelor’s in Animal Science from Virginia Tech and my Master’s in Animal Science from Clemson University. Throughout school, I worked in research labs and on university farms, gaining hands‑on experience with many species and learning how to care for animals in a wide range of situations. I now live in Harpers Ferry with my two dogs and six chickens, and I work for an animal genetics company. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, cattle, goats, and more. I’ve raised orphaned animals, supported very sick pets, and provided long‑term care for elderly companions. My husband also has experience caring for his family’s pets and helps care for ours, so your pet will always have someone attentive nearby. At home, I currently have Hallie, a Brittany spaniel mix, and Beamer, an Aussie mix—both friendly, social pups who love having new friends around. Whether you’re local and planning a getaway or visiting the area and need a trusted sitter, I’d love to welcome your furry family member into our home and treat them like one of our own. I work from home so I am able to be with your pet all day for doggy daycare and pet sitting. I am available for drop-in visits during the day in the Harpers Ferry area. I have a large fenced in yard and extra crates! I allow animals do be on my furniture as long as that is what their owner allows. My dogs are very active so frequent walks are great!
“Wonderful sitter! You can tell she really cares about her campers. We have our baby scheduled with her for a long weekend and I fully trust her to provide excellent care. My little baby is my pride and joy :)”
“Lauren was amazing with our two pups! She clearly cared about making sure they got what they needed while enforcing boundaries which we appreciated. She sent lots of photos and it was clear that our pups had a blast. Thank you!”
“Sarah and her family were absolutely amazing! Sarah was extremely accommodating to our travel plans and coordinating drop off and pick up. Would definitely book again if we are ever in the area for amazing care!!”
“Gabby was an awesome Dog Sitter. I could tell from the moment she met my dogs that she was going to be a great sitter. She sent me pictures throughout their day to keep me updated. Would definitely recommend.”
“Barbara was polite, thoughtful, and kind. She texted to let us know how he was doing about halfway through the appointment, and she shared a cute picture. I would definitely book with her again and certainly recommend her!”
About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.
About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home mom of three amazing boys, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals wasn’t just a hobby — it was a way of life. I’ve owned pets my entire life and have also fostered many dogs over the years, so my boys have grown up learning how to properly handle, respect, and love animals. We recently lost our sweet dog last year and are taking a little break from owning one, but our home feels happiest with paws around. Dog sitting allows us to share that love while giving your pup the attention and care they deserve. Because I work from home full time, your dog will rarely be alone and will get plenty of supervision, affection, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large single-family home with lots of space to relax. There’s a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, as well as a spacious front yard — but please know your dog will never be outside unsupervised. In our home, dogs are family. They’re welcome on the couch and even in the bed for snuggles at night if that’s what they’re used to. My boys love giving extra attention, playtime, and belly rubs — always guided by what your dog is comfortable with. Our family truly adores and respects animals, and we will care for your dog as if they were our own — with patience, structure, affection, and lots of love. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home full time. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and regular potty breaks as often as needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. We go on at least one walk every day, and I’m happy to adjust the length or pace depending on your dog’s age and energy level. In addition to walks, I incorporate outdoor time, playtime, and plenty of affection into the day. Because I’m already on a steady home schedule, it’s easy for me to maintain feeding times, medication schedules, and any specific routines your dog is used to. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our daily routine and are treated like family. Because I work from home full time, I’m able to provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Dogs have access to our large fenced backyard (always supervised) and enjoy at least one daily walk, along with playtime and snuggles. They’re welcome on the couch and even in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I stick closely to each dog’s normal feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always the same: to provide safe, loving, reliable care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.
“We knew the minute Heidi met us at the door for our Meet and Greet with Tux, our 13-year old Bichon-Poodle, that we had found the perfect sitter. Tux felt right at home wagging his tail at her kids and Moochie, her Golden Retriever. He sniffed around, as all dogs do, and made his way outside to explore in their fenced-in backyard. We had total peace of mind leaving Tux in her care. She updated us throughout the day with pictures of the kids snuggling and playing with him. We will look no where else when we need someone to care for Tux. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking to find the sweetest caregiver for your beloved pets.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have years of experience as a veterinary assistant and shelter aide. From giving medications to walking dogs of any size, I’m comfortable with it all. I’m especially patient with shy or skittish dogs and always help ensure they feel safe and loved. I'm also a distance runner with lots of experience running dogs, so if you have a high-energy pup that needs a good jog, I'd be more than happy to do that!! I'm entirely self-employed, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m happy to adjust my schedule when needed to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve :) When I visit your home, I treat your pets and space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow all care instructions closely, and keep a careful eye on your fur baby during walks or visits. Their safety and comfort always come first, and I do my best to keep their routine familiar so they feel at ease while you’re away.

I am a student at Virginia Tech, so I have availability here and there throughout the day! I am also available most evenings/nights for longer periods of time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.
“Such a great experience from the meet and greet to picking up our two pups at the end of their stay. Katherine’s knowledge, experience and love for animals was seen clearly through all parts of the process. She is very responsive and getting daily pictures during their stay was just the best! Her comfy indoor space and beautiful outdoor spaces provide a great environment for whatever your pup needs, from zoomies to cuddles. Knowing Chipper and Dutchess were being cared for and loved on by Katherine put our minds at ease and helped us fully enjoy our time away. We will absolutely book again!”
“My dogs Huey & Edward had a great time with Alicia & her boys. So happy to have found a great rover near me that I can trust with my dogs! She gave them great exercise & so much love.”
“Kristen was extremely nice and responsive to us! When we picked up our pup he was absolutely exhausted from playing all weekend. She packed up all of his toys and had them ready to go when we came for pickup too! I would 100% recommend leaving your pup with her and we look forward to using her again in the future!”
“Lori was amazing with our fearful German Shepherd Fiona. this was our first time booking with Lori and she took pictures every day we were gone and gave us updates. It made us feel so much better. When we brought Fiona home she was so much happier than she has been leaving her with other people or a kennel. So grateful for Lori and her husband and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Alexys was easy to communicate with and was a wonderful fit for our dog! She gave us updates during his stay and he was super comfortable with there. We're so happy to have found her and will book again!”
“Joel and Janelle are so wonderful! They took the time to meet us prior to booking to make sure our furry girl would be comfortable in their home. They have a beautiful home and a spacious fenced in yard! They are so open to communication and even sent us pictures of our love while we were gone unprompted! They are definitely going to be seeing our girl again!”
“We had such a great experience with this dog boarding home! We felt completely at ease the entire time he was there. We loved getting regular updates with pictures, videos, and texts throughout the week — it made such a difference seeing how happy and well cared for he was. By the end, I was almost worried he wouldn’t want to come home because he was having so much fun! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a loving, attentive place for your pup. 🐾”
“Abby has watched our dog Rocky several times and has always done a wonderful job! Rocky is a rescue, and a terrier, and she let him take his own time getting to know her and her 2 dobie's (both great). This last time presented some unusual challenges, and Abby went above and beyond to make sure Rocky felt safe with her and that we could continue our vacation. She has always communicated well, and has been fantastic with all of her care. I would highly recommend her for your pet!! I can't say it enough. She's great.”
“Erin is an incredible dog sitter! She genuinely loves your pet and takes such good care of them. Her whole family are so loving and caring. She made us feel so assured that our pup was in good hands and provided updates throughout our trip. We would recommend Erin to anyone!!”
“Anahita was scheduled to take care of Rebel and Mae for a couple of days. An unfortunate event caused their stay to be short but she took very good care of them for the short period of time. We didn’t get any pictures or many updates but that was to be expected with their short stay. We would book again if needed. Thanks a bunch!”
“Erin is extremely kind and definitely an animal lover. She is easy to work with and quickly responds to any questions, she kept me updated on my pup regularly. When my travel plans changed she was very accommodating. I'll definitely be using her again!”
“Lauren provided excellent care for Bryce. She regularly sent photos and videos of him throughout his stay with her. Her yard is large and fenced in so plenty of space for your pup to zoom around. High recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
