“Caroline and Spencer are the best! We will always use them whenever we go out of town! They took such great care of our girl Xena! Their home is amazing and dog friendly! We are so thankful for having them be our rovers! ??”
“Bella had a fabulous time with Brenda. She looked so happy when we picked her up. I loved getting all the pictures of what Bella did while we were gone. She really enjoyed her stay.”
“Layna was a great sitter for my dog. He is still young and active, and he came home ready for a restful evening after quick run around home. Upon returning home, I think my dog may have missed having another dog to occupy his indoor time. I will definitely use Layna for future bookings.”
“Emily was so gracious about taking our dog on a moment's notice, and sent us pictures and updates daily which put our minds at rest. We are so relieved to have a caring, reliable choice for dog sitting nearby! I'd recommend this family to anyone.”
“Kari and her family are so wonderful! They took such a great care of our baby while we were traveling for a while. Kari is also very accommodating. We are so thankful that we found Kari and her family as caregivers for Tofu.”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Aaliyah's dog boarding services (for 5+ days), and I was very pleased with the experience. From the start, Aaliyah was very communicative, typically sending updates at the end of the day. These updates included not just adorable photos, but also detailed text messages that gave me peace of mind knowing my precious fur baby was well taken care of. Aaliyah's home is clean, welcoming, and a great environment for dogs/pets. This is extremely important to me because my pupper has a tendency to get into things he isn't supposed to if he has the opportunity. Her own dogs are a delight—fun and friendly, making for great companions for our pup. Her family is equally warm and engaging, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in such a loving and attentive environment. If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Aaliyah. Her dedication and the genuine care she shows for the pets she looks after are exceptional.”
“Very highly recommended! Chantal and her husband were great caretakers for our two dogs for a week’s time — even more than we could have expected. They have a beautiful, spacious, safe place — both indoors and for when they had to go outside. My husband and I felt 100% comfortable leaving them there while we were away. From the beginning during our meet-and-greet through pick-up at the end of our trip, we saw just how kind and calm they were, treating our dogs just like their own dog and providing lots of interaction and play. Also, Chantal was extremely accommodating of our 7 month old puppy’s “puppy behavior” and attentive to the need to go outside more frequently. She provided updates every day (and was very responsive to other questions) and we could see just how relaxed our pups were, as if they were staying with family. We are definitely planning on using Chantal’s services the next time we need to go out of town.”
“Great communication about Lulu and how she was doing while away! Lulu was comfortable with Wendy from the moment she met her. Thank you for taking great care of her while we were away!”
“After four or five meet and greets, Crystal was the only one our little girl gelled with! She is sweet and kind and treated our pup with the special care she needed. We are SO pleased and thankful for Crystal!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Hillary was great! We loved the numerous photos she sent throughout the day and our puppy, Wriggly loved being there. I could tell by how tired Wriggly was when we picked him up that Hillary had given him lots of play time and he wasn't cooped up all day.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our pup was nerve racking as we'd come into town for a graduation. I was very impressed with Joleen's quick responses and the very smooth hand off and pick up. Our pup came back to us seemingly not wanting to leave. Highly recommend!”
“Marketa and Jay took great care of our Trooper! We are happy to say that we have found a safe and loving family to care for our dog while we visit our son at Liberty U. We definitely recommend them to everyone.”
“Jessica did an excellent job caring for my dog Rupi. She took Rupi on long walks every day and sent pictures/updates regularly. I would highly recommend Jessica.”
“Allison was an excellent communicator while coordinating our pup's day care and was absolutely flexible to help us with our out-of-towner schedule, and was wonderfully attentive to our pup during his stay. Great first experience using Rover - I would recommend Allison for anyone looking for a caring dogsitter!!”
About: I have grown up with cats, dogs and many other animals, and have been trusted to care for neighborhood pets since highschool.

“Mia took great care of our cat Olive while we were gone on a trip! She was careful to follow the care instructions we had and went above and beyond to give Olive great care! She gave us detailed updates including photos after every visit which we loved and looked forward to! While Olive was in her care Mia was attentive to details and let us know of anything we needed to know while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”
“Abigail was so wonderful with my cat. I am a first time cat mom. This was also my first time leaving my baby for a period of time. Abigail put my worries at ease. She gave me updates, and my baby looked very happy. She will be my first choice next time I need a sitter.”
“Madison is superb. She’s incredibly responsive and responsible. We were nervous about leaving our pups behind and concerned we might have trouble finding someone brave AND loving enough to care for the bully breed. Madison didn’t flinch and our dogs took to her immediately. She is professional, kind, punctual, caring, and will even send photos, which is incredibly thoughtful and reassuring. We won’t hesitate to rely on Madison in the future and highly recommend her services to others.”
“John stayed the day with our two dogs. It was our first time using him, so he was kind enough to come meet the pups a couple days prior to sitting them - to make sure it was a good fit. The dogs immediately liked him & approved! He arrived on time, sent pictures during the day, and was very polite. I plan to use him again :-)”
“Ariane was dependable and came every day as expected while I was gone on vacation. She sent me updates and notes on my two cats and made me feel very comfortable with her being there to take care of them. She also sent plenty of pictures! In addition, she fed my fish and watered my plant. Would recommend her! Thank you, Ariane!”
“Heather is amazing! She watched our cat for us in our home over thanksgiving on fairly short notice. She sent lots of pictures and Ollie warmed up to her quickly. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a cat sitter!”
About: Cats have been part of my life for many years, and I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. In addition to caring for my own cats over the years, I have also rescued and fostered cats and kittens, providing daily care, socialization, feeding, and monitoring for health concerns. I am experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications when needed, and providing enrichment and companionship. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or prefers a quiet environment and gentle attention, I will respect their individual needs and help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As a pet owner and former animal rescue operator, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I will care for your cat with patience, compassion, and attention to detail, treating them as if they were my own.
About: I’ve grown up with cats all my life, whether it was mine or other family members. I volunteer at an animal shelter and love taking care of the kitties there! There has never been a time where I haven’t lived with a cat, so I’ve had many experiences with cats and dogs!
About: I have a lifelong passion for caring for cats and dogs. I've had cats all my life and currently have a 15-year-old dog and 2 indoor/outdoor cats. I've also volunteered in dog boarding at a local business, where I was responsible for taking all the dogs out to potty at night. Your pets will be in loving and experienced hands! I am currently a stay at home Mom. So your pets will have cuddles and plenty of play time throughout the day! I typically start my morning at 6:30. So early morning risers are no problem for me! I live in a 2 story house and have plenty of space for your fur baby. I can make any accommodations to make your baby comfortable in your home or mine. Whether it be crating or separating animals I will make sure they are happy and safe!
About: I have taken care of my neighbors pets and the families that I babysit for. I also have two dogs and had 7 cats and took care of all of them. Experience with farm animals such as chickens, ducks, horses, and bunnies. I am reliable and always make sure animals are being taken care of and getting lots of love. I work a full time job but ensure I make time for the pets I make sure they have plenty of food and water, and I make sure for dogs I take then outside to get play time and exercise
About: Your pets will be safe with me and have such a great time they will be having a vacation themselves. I am a full-time teacher but my brother lives with me and works second shift. So you get two sitters for the price of one! I am also available to walk dogs after I get home in the evenings or all weekends/holidays. I have had cats and dogs since I can remember. I love caring for and connecting with all animals. At one time I took care of 3 day old kittens and nurtured them back to health. They grew into three beautiful cats. I have fostered and volunteered with the humane societies in my area because I believe all animals deserve to be loved. Making sure your pets are taken care of while you are away would be a rewarding opportunity. I would love to have the chance to care for your furry family member. Give me a chance to get to help you love on your pet.
“Samantha was great. I just needed someone to drop by and check on my kitties. She was great at communicating with me and sending me pictures. I would totally hire her again. ?”
About: I have provided care for my friends cats and enjoyed providing them a shoe to rest their heads on. Whether the cat needs their space for independence, or needs snuggles and kneading surfaces... I am available to meet their needs.

“Absolutely wonderful from the very first day. My little man can't wait to go to daycare every day! Chantal has a caring and and loving manner with dogs of all ages. HIGHLY recommend!”
“Layman was a lifesaver when we needed a last minute dog sitter to attend our son’s graduation. She was flexible with the timing of our return as we knew traffic could be bad getting back. Our Bella seemed comfortable with Layna and got along with her dog Chance.”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I helped my childhood dog with her liter and one of her puppies was my best friend until he crossed the rainbow bridge a year ago. I currently have a sweet loving 9 year old black lab and a fun 3 year old labradoodle. I’m a stay at home mom who homeschools as well and play outside a lot with my children and my dogs. Anything after 6 pm I won’t be able to do considering I will be doing bedtime. I have a fully fenced in lot that has 2 dog houses and grass that is also shaded. I also have a crate and normally I am home and just let my dogs play as much as they want.
“Emily and Donnie were, again, absolutely fantastic! I accidentally messed up the dates I requested, and they were so accommodating. I was out of town for the wholeeeee day, leaving very early and returning extremely late, and they kept him safe and very happy the entire time! Updates were frequently and detailed, which is great for this helicopter pet parent! 1000x would recommend to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!”
“Falen hosted doggie day care for a shelter foster dog that we have. She was so accommodating for my schedule and even offered to keep him overnight since I would be dropping him off again the next morning. Thank you to Falen and Dani for a positive experience for both me and the foster dog.”
“This is our second time booking Marketa for Cadence's daycare while we were in town for an event. She did a great job with her 2 years ago that I immediately thought to reach out to her again when we returned this year. Marketa is attentive and caring with Cadence and sent us photo updates of how she was doing. She got along well with the other doggos and even cuddled up to her on the couch. I never have any worries about Cadence when she stayed with her, and would recommend Marketa to anyone in the neighborhood. Thank you!”
“Kari and her family are wonderful! I am so thankful to have found her. She is so kind and accommodating! My dog, Ace, is always so happy and excited when I drop him off. I feel incredibly comfortable because I know he’s always going to be engaged and loved on while in her care!”
About: I have always had a dog since I was a baby. I love all animals! Friends and family have always asked me to dog sit while away on vacation. I currently work full time from home so I can watch them during the week day in my home and let out for potty breaks often! I can go to your home on weekends anytime and during the week after 4 pm. I have 2 very friendly dogs who love fur friends! And we have one girl who only loves her fur siblings but she keeps to herself and I will keep her separated from your animal. I have 42 acres to take your dog on long walks and play in our field. I will leash walk your dog at my house. We do let our dogs sleep in our bed so if your fur baby is used to that they are more then welcomed to sleep in our bed. If not we have an extra crate for night time.
About: I have been caring for animals for my entire life and have always adored learning about them and working with them. I will care for any kind of animal of any temperament and will provide an abundance of love, as caring for pets is very fulfilling for me and improves my mental wellbeing :) I am currently working as a vet assistant and will try to update my Rover schedule each month around my schedule at the vet. I am able to take pets into my workplace if you need me on days I work and are comfortable with that. I am extremely respectful of owners’ homes and will care for the pets exactly as I am asked to. I do not mind assertive or otherwise difficult temperament and will love them all the same. I will ensure to be constantly attentive and focused on meeting their needs and keeping them safe.
“Jennifer was great with our 4.5 month old puppy. She took him outside enough that there were no accidents. Her dog and our puppy played endlessly. He slept great at night. This was his first time away. She was extremely flexible with our schedule. I highly recommend Jennifer!”
About: I have grown up with cats, dogs and many other animals, and have been trusted to care for neighborhood pets since highschool. I have experience with senior, and energetic breeds, and even trained my border collie in agility. I am currently in a season ample time to dedicate to your pet. I am flexible and can provide excellent pet care whenever you need. I have a yard and a large park next to my home with space for walks. I also have a dog and am currently fostering a cat.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. From housetraining puppies to caring for aging senior dogs, I have experience with a range of personalities/quirks and am very comfortable with large or hyperactive dogs and rescues. My older Beagle, who I cared for for more than 13 years, had a seizure disorder and in the final months of her life, we administered IV sub-Q fluids to her every 2-3 days, so I have experience with caring for pups with medical needs and I can administer medication. I also have 5 years of experience volunteering in a high-volume animal shelter, working predominantly with large dogs, so I understand how animals might behave when they are in a stressful environment and interacting with an unfamiliar person. I strive to provide a stress-free, comforting environment while you are away so please let me know what your pup loves the most! What you can expect: — Time outdoors, playing or on leashed walks — Cuddles and belly rubs — Lots of (approved) treats — Every effort to stick to your pet’s routine and establish clear boundaries! I can provide in-home doggy day care and boarding with a prior meet and greet* if your dog gets along with the two dogs in our home. Your pup will never be left alone with my dogs when I’m providing doggy day care or boarding, so I do require them to be crate-trained for overnight stays. I work full-time from home during the week but have a very flexible schedule. I can provide morning walks, drop in visits and afternoon playtime before lots of attention in the evening. My partner is also home most days and our 15-year-old stepson is home in the afternoons and evenings (and weekends), though he is not involved in any animal care. I can board one to two dogs (from the same household) in my home if they are crate-trained, but a meet and greet is required beforehand. They will not be left alone in my home with my pups unattended. I am available for drop-in visits and some housesitting. I am open to long-term, ongoing schedules as well as flexible, on-the-spot drop-ins. I can provide some services in my own home most days of the week. I am open to spending as much time as I can with your pup. I enjoy walks, playing outdoors and sticking to their routine as much as possible! I know it can be stressful for pets when their owners are gone so I strive to provide a stress-free experience for your best friend! I will use your standard equipment and follow all directions you provide, especially on walks. I have experience with escape artists and will do everything I can to keep your pup safe. I also am very neat and tidy, will clean up any messes your pet makes and will treat your space with respect.
About: I've always had pets growing up as a child, most being rescues from the neighborhood. My passion and love for animals has grown into my adulthood making me a very enthusiastic animal lover who desires to help all different types of animals. My experience in pet care varies from having pets of my own, watching and caring for friends and families pets and currently, my job working with dogs at a Peaks View Animal Hospital! I have cared for pets of all ages. Including bottle feeding kittens and puppies to giving medication to senior pets. I am currently working a part time job at Peaks View Animal Hospital. I would have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! I would be available for boarding Thursday-Sunday! I am also available for drop ins and walks Thursday-Sunday as well! I live in downtown Lynchburg and have an outdoor terrace available for your pups to sunbathe and play. I also live close enough to the trails to take your pups on nice shady walks! If your pet needs to be crated, I also have an XL crate available for use at my home!
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life, and even spend time taking care of others homes and dogs as well. I love to get outside and be active seeing as I am a college athlete and have no problem running around with animals and caring and loving for them when you are not able to do it. I truly love animals and have such compassion for them that I love to take care of them. I am a teacher, and love to board dogs during the weeks. They keep me active in days that I am working. I would love to talk to you more about your dogs needs, I hope that we are a perfect match and I will be able to help you take care of your animals!
About: I've grown up with dogs and have years of pet sitting experience in both my home and clients' homes. I also have 2 of my own who are part of my everyday life...spoiled, loved and always by my side. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or playtime, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and never alone. I enjoy getting down on their level, playing, and making walks something they truly look forward to. I have a flexible schedule and can spend extended time with your pet if needed. If you'd like someone to stay during the day while you're at work, I'm happy to bring my laptop and keep your dog company, offering attention, breaks, and playtime throughout the day. If you're looking for someone dependable who will treat your dog like family, I'd love to help. I have a flexible, remote work schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention: * Monday-Thursday: Available early mornings until 11am, and again from 3:30pm into the evening. *Friday & Saturday: Open availability * Sunday: Available starting at 11am through the evening Because I work remotely, I'm also happy to stay longer during the day if your pet needs extra company. I can bring my laptop and be there beyond a standard drop-in. I love getting outside for longer walks (3-4 miles) but I'm just as happy to do shorter walks to help your pup burn off some energy. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed at all times. Before our first visit, I like to learn about any triggers, behaviors, or how they do with other dogs so I can tailor care to keep them calm and comfortable. I also check with you before giving treats and make sure I'm aware of any allergies or dietary restrictions. Most visits will take place in your home for your pet's comfort. However, if you ever prefer occasional care at my home, I have a fenced-in backyard and a Jeep for safe transport. You can always feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with consistency, attention, and genuine love every time I'm with them.
“Maddie was so friendly and professional and also is home all days with the dogs, which is a huge plus! Makkachin is always unsure of new environments at first, but got comfortable quickly and definitely sees Maddie as her new friend. I’ve akready booked her again!”

About: As someone who was raised on a fully functioning farm, animal husbandry has been a part of my daily routine since I could walk! I have experience with almost every domestic animal under the sun, but dogs and cats have always been very personal to me.

My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.

I will board your dogs or cats, or I can make daily check-ins at your home. I am currently retired and only work some part-time jobs. I am pretty flexible and will work with families to take care of your precious pets. I have a large farm and home and will crate your dogs as needed. They will love the open space for walks and play.

About: I have had dogs and cats as pets and watched after them all of my life. I have experience with basic care and needs, playing, bathing, and training dogs. I work at an animal hospital currently, so I do have experience in a medical setting with animals. I am pretty flexible with my schedule. I have a full time job Monday-Friday until 4PM but I am available after that time. I can do drop in visits or walking every few hours or several times daily. I am available for house sitting. I prefer a set schedule but willing to negotiate. I am flexible! I take safety and trust to be the most serious thing to me when taking care of animals. Your pets will always be safe and spoiled with me.
About: I work at a dog daycare and love getting to know everyone of their personalities. I’ve had dogs all my life and think they’re the best pets going. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I am currently in college so my schedule if flexible around my classes! Depending on the service, activities may include going on walks, spending quality time together, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ll keep close watch on them at all times and I love going on walks whenever needed. I can do whatever is best for the pet and their family

“Caroline and Spencer are the best! We will always use them whenever we go out of town! They took such great care of our girl Xena! Their home is amazing and dog friendly! We are so thankful for having them be our rovers! ??”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Aaliyah's dog boarding services (for 5+ days), and I was very pleased with the experience. From the start, Aaliyah was very communicative, typically sending updates at the end of the day. These updates included not just adorable photos, but also detailed text messages that gave me peace of mind knowing my precious fur baby was well taken care of. Aaliyah's home is clean, welcoming, and a great environment for dogs/pets. This is extremely important to me because my pupper has a tendency to get into things he isn't supposed to if he has the opportunity. Her own dogs are a delight—fun and friendly, making for great companions for our pup. Her family is equally warm and engaging, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in such a loving and attentive environment. If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Aaliyah. Her dedication and the genuine care she shows for the pets she looks after are exceptional.”
“Emily was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Hillary was great! We loved the numerous photos she sent throughout the day and our puppy, Wriggly loved being there. I could tell by how tired Wriggly was when we picked him up that Hillary had given him lots of play time and he wasn't cooped up all day.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our pup was nerve racking as we'd come into town for a graduation. I was very impressed with Joleen's quick responses and the very smooth hand off and pick up. Our pup came back to us seemingly not wanting to leave. Highly recommend!”
“Marketa and Jay took great care of our Trooper! We are happy to say that we have found a safe and loving family to care for our dog while we visit our son at Liberty U. We definitely recommend them to everyone.”
“Jessica did an excellent job caring for my dog Rupi. She took Rupi on long walks every day and sent pictures/updates regularly. I would highly recommend Jessica.”
“Allison was an excellent communicator while coordinating our pup's day care and was absolutely flexible to help us with our out-of-towner schedule, and was wonderfully attentive to our pup during his stay. Great first experience using Rover - I would recommend Allison for anyone looking for a caring dogsitter!!”
“Katie goes beyond with my Gabe. Katie sent updates and pictures during his stay. You know your pet is in the best hands they can be in without you. She includes your fur babies in family functions and your fur baby will become part of the family during their stay. We will be booking again.”
“Cheyanne took amazing care of our fur baby! We were gone for 5 days and she frequently sent us pictures as well as updates on how he was doing. She also administered all of his daily medication and ear drops with no troubles. She was very flexible with our schedule and responded to our messages very quickly. We highly reccomend her to anyone and will deffinately book her again in the future!”

“This was my first time leaving Goose with someone I didn’t know and Falen made it so easy! Updated me along the way with pics and videos and was so easy to check in with. I would 100 percent use her again and so thankful to be able to leave him with someone who loves on him like I would!”
“Katie is wonderful. She watched our 11 month old puppy with the most loving care. We were so nervous about leaving our new puppy, but felt so comfortable with her. Highly recommended.”
