“My dog Molly became part of the family and had a wonderful time while I was on vacation. I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with Jennifer and I will definitely be booking here when I travel again!”
“I don't leave reviews so thos means something. Hanna did an amazing job with Skadi. Taking her for walks and playing in the yard even cuddling. It's clear she truly loves the critters. Plus she sent pix and videos and told me what she was doing all along. Greatly appreciate the extra steps. 10/10 will be back.”
“My dog had an amazing time with Michelle and Milo - She liked it so much it seemed she didn’t want to leave! Seriously, Michelle took great care of my girl and made sure all of her needs were taken care of.”
“Macy had a great time. Macy played too hard and might have pulled a muscle and Amy let me know right away. Macy is fine now and I received awesome communication from Amy.”
“My pooch was very well cared for with Susan! She has a sweet dog herself that was great play companion. Appreciated daily pics to keep me updated of how she was doing!”
“Eric is the best! I recently had a sitter cancel 6 hours before drop-off -- I thought my vacation was ruined! I immediately put out a Sunday morning last-minute Rover requests for a sitter, with very low expectations that anyone would even respond, much less accept. Within a few minutes, Eric responded and then accepted. He totally saved my vacation! After that, he was extremely communicative, but even better, he was perfect for my highly energetic doggo. He gave long dauly walks and play sessions. I knew that my dog would love having his Bucky as a 24/7 playmate, but I was very concerned that he has cats, since Sheba had never seen a cat before. Since she has a high prey drive, I thought there could be serious problems. Eric, however, seems to have a natural understanding of pets, and he was able to safely introduce Sheba to his cats, and apparently there were no issues. Also, Eric was highly flexible when my return flight was delayed by a day, and quickly agreed to extend the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish.”
“Matt was wonderful! He checked in daily with pics and updates. He always answered quickly and was super flexible. Can’t recommend him enough and will definitely use again!”
“Gus was a happy camper at Ciara’s home! Great communication and very accommodating. We really appreciate her care for Gus and would definitely use her again if we need dog care in the Williamsburg area.”
“Jesse was so great with Zoey. He sent lots of photos, took her on a lot of walks and spent cuddle time with her. It’s clear he truly loves animals. We’d love for Zoey to stay with Jesse again.”
“My dog has been a couple years now. We had this pet family. For us we do long stays & short I’ve been in Florida,Chicago, out the country Bahamas. I rather use this family for long stays. Because my dog knows this family. If you have flights just always communicate with your pet sitter. Me& my husband both like this family.”
“Raye is literally the best care we could ever found for our little escape artist. She’s super kind, caring, sweet and very transparent with her methods and care. Highly recommended! Gracias Raye!!!!”
“Julie really put me at ease and payed attention to details. I appreciated the way she introduced Nacho to her house and her cats, it showed she cared. I also really liked that she kept in contact via pics and messages. Nacho will definitely be staying with Julie again! ”
“Pamela and Paul are legit ‘dog people’. They got to know Ollie pretty quickly and confidently helped him ease into a friendship with Marlowe and another client. I received the usual photos of Ollie with a ball or snuggling humans, but was surprised to also receive photos of Ollie playing and snuggling with the other dogs, which was a whole new experience for him! I’m happy to know he was so well taken care of during his time with Pamela, Paul and Marlowe and will reach out again for future boarding!”
“Sheri was awesome with our dog Otis. She was patient and played with him sent tons of pictures of him to ease our minds since it was his first time away. I’m so grateful for the care and affection that was shown to our fur baby. Definitely will reach out if we ever need help again. Thank you so very much.”
“Ms. Laura was a dream come true! She was so caring not only to my dog but also to me. She made sure she had all his meals, snack times and all his routines correct. She sent us pictures and videos every day. If I wanted a picture she relied back to me with pictures. My dog is 4 years old and he had never been away from me. I got him as a puppy. So I was nervous about leaving him. She really made me feel comfortable leaving him with her. I can not stress. She has to be the best. Pick her you will be so happy!!!”

“Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.”
“Mel was fantastic and went above and beyond to care for our fur babies while we were away for a week. The house was clean and cared for as well, so we did not come back to any pet messes when we returned.”
“Rachael watched our fur babies doing our wedding and honeymoon and it was one less thing for me to worry about! I knew they were in great hands and got sweet pictures everyday!”
“Victoria was wonderful in taking care of the kittens! She was on time everyday and sent wonderful updates of the babes. They were well loved and cared for we are so grateful!”
“Rochelle watched our senior cat, Callie, at our home while we were on vacation. She was extremely reliable and trustworthy—sending us daily pictures, videos, and updates. It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.”

“Fergus (our cat) loves Virginia. He never purrs for anyone the way he purrs for her. When we got home today after being away for several days, my husband heard Fergus meowing through the door before we entered and said to me, "I pretty sure he's meowing 'Virginia! Virginia!' He's going to be so disappointed that it's us!" Virginia is great with Fergus, very kind to us, and has been just a perfect pet sitter.”
“Veronica was amazing! Very sweet and considerate given that we booked last minute for the holidays. She did everything we asked of her and I loved the great communication about how our kitties were doing!”

“This was our first time using Rover. Riley was helpful in explaining how it worked. She watched our cat for several visits for two days. For each visit she sent information on how the visit went. Unfortunately our kitty would run and hide after greeting her so she couldn’t get many pictures. She even went and found him and sat trying to convince him to come out! He ate well during her visits and she was kind to clean up the dirty cat bowls each time! It’s also very comforting knowing Riley has experience working in a vet clinic.”
About: I’ve cared for cats with all kinds of personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand the importance of keeping cats comfortable in their own space, maintaining their routines, and giving them the attention and patience they need. Along with years of caring for my own pets, I currently work in a pet daycare where I handle animals daily and focus on their safety, comfort, and well being.

“Wonderful experience! My Goldendoodle, Bailey had so much fun. Hanna sent me pictures and a video and gave me updates. She has a large yard for Bailey to run and play. Reasonable fee. Thank you Hanna!”
“Jasmine was a total lifesaver with her ability to take my puppy in with less than a day’s notice. She took such excellent care of Runa, keeping her actively engaged in various activities as well as keeping me posted throughout the day. Runa is home now and sleeping like a rock. Couldn’t recommend Jasmine more.”
“Matt is fantastic. My dog Ru loves going to his house so much that she sprints to his front door and will not look back for me at all. She has a great time with him and when I pick her up she is happy and tired in the best way. He clearly has a great understanding of dogs and is very professional and communicative. I feel completely confident leaving my girl there and I know she has the absolute best care.”
“Ayme was a very patient and loving Mom for nervous furry family member. She sent happy pictures, reassured Naomi and gave her love. I feel I can leave her in this positive environment.”
“Caroline is superb! Twix is always so excited to hangout with her, he jumps out of the car when he sees her home. She takes great care, sends lovely photos of him throughout the day and is very communicate and accommodating. Thanks Caroline 😊”
About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay. My dog has a strict routine as I believe taking care of pers works better with a specific schedule. He wakes up, gets fed, gets taken out, is given treats, among everything else at the same time. Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.
About: I have had animals my entire life. I love taking care of them and filling their lives with lots of pets and love. I currently have 3 dogs, ranging in ages 1-12. I have experience with reactive dogs, puppies, cats, and senior dogs. Excited to take care of your fur baby I’m currently a student at Virginia Commonwealth University. I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. It is very important to me that all animals are safe and well cared for. I will follow all your instructions including walking and feeding schedule, as well as giving medication timely “ if applicable”.
“Miguel and his wife were great! They took such good care of my dog and were super responsive throughout the entire time. I felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend them!”
“I am so thankful to have found Allison. Not only did Allison take great care of our girl while we were away, she was flexible, and quick to communicate to our inquiries. We will definitely use her again in the future and refer her to all of our friends!”
“Pamela and Paul were awesome with Monroe! She is a sensitive dog who felt right at home with a little extra attention. They were flexible with our schedule and accommodating for a late pick up one day. I will definitely use them again- true animal lovers that treat your dog like their own!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with Tater. He’s a puppy and, while the goodest of boys, takes some energy and a little patience. She even exposed him to her cat and gave us a full report on how he did with Miso so we’d know for future bookings. She was super flexible with our timing heading to/from Story Land with the kiddos and kept us up to date on what our littlest dude was up to while we were crushing the Polarcoaster.”
About: I have a large variety of experience with dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. I have had a myriad of pet-sitting jobs—for friends, family, and strangers! I also worked as a Veterinary Assistant for years when was younger, so I can work with dogs and cats of all mannerisms and at all stages of their lives. I am completely comfortable medicating or attending to any special needs. I work remotely so I will be home to give your pet all the attention they may need any day of the week. Pet care fits very easily in my routine since I have 2 of my own! I live in a townhome and have a small fenced in yard that is good for potty breaks and some outdoor chilling, but there are also plenty of areas around me to walk the dogs. I have a 5-year-old 65 lb mixed breed dog named Baloo and a floofy orange cat named Bennett, so any dogs staying with me would need to be dog/cat friendly (or at least tolerating). If I come into your home, I am respectful of your space and able to follow instructions well.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—seriously, rabbits to goats, and everything in between. Right now I care for dogs, chickens, rabbits, and a cat, and I also have experience pet sitting for families from when I was in high school. In my 20s, I’m excited to help other animal owners get to enjoy a vacation or even a little break like a date night, without having to worry. My love for animals really shows, and I’m totally comfortable with both big dogs and smaller ones—I’m happy to care for every breed. I’m willing to have animals stay at my home, but they absolutely need to be comfortable around other animals. I can also drive to your place and stay at your home if that’s what you prefer. I work from home, so I’m available as often as you need me, and if you need me to stay overnight to watch your furry friend, I can definitely arrange that. With all that said, I’m excited to help in any way I can—because I genuinely love what I do! I’m currently working from home as a Sales Executive at a HR company. I take my pups out every 2 hours for potty breaks and to throw the ball for my very active GSD dog. I get off around 5:30PM M-F. So if you need me to stay at your home to watch your pets while I work throughout the day- that’s no problem! Or I can most definitely take breaks throughout the day to come take your animal out and/or just give some snuggles! I am free on the weekends and can make really anything work. Just give me a time and place and I’ll be there! I have a huge back yard and plenty of space for your dog to run around! It is not fenced, so must have good recall or I can just walk them on a leash. If your dog is coming over to my house they must be good with other animals. I have a male Belgian tervuren (fixed) who’s pretty shy at first, but warms up quickly and would love a play buddy! And then I have a male Dachshund (fixed) who sleeps all day. I do crate my dogs while I’m away, and they can be crated just to give your pet some space to decompress. My cat is in a separate room so she will be away as well.
“We had a great walk yesterday. Rochelle was great. She walked Prince and handled him very well. She also learned some of our walking routes as well as side streets of Ashland.”

“My dog has been a couple years now. We had this pet family. For us we do long stays & short I’ve been in Florida,Chicago, out the country Bahamas. I rather use this family for long stays. Because my dog knows this family. If you have flights just always communicate with your pet sitter. Me& my husband both like this family.”
“Raye is literally the best care we could ever found for our little escape artist. She’s super kind, caring, sweet and very transparent with her methods and care. Highly recommended! Gracias Raye!!!!”
“Sheri was awesome with our dog Otis. She was patient and played with him sent tons of pictures of him to ease our minds since it was his first time away. I’m so grateful for the care and affection that was shown to our fur baby. Definitely will reach out if we ever need help again. Thank you so very much.”
“Kristen and Chris were excellent to our dog. They were great with communication and pictures. Our Daisy was very happy with them and her new friend, Wallie.”
“Cyndi was wonderful with our Standard Poodle and sent lots of great updates and pictures. So glad to have found her and look forward to having Maui stay with her again.”
“I was having a rough time finding a sitter in time for my trip and she was perfect for my dog. She sent lots of pictures and my dog got to spend time with other dogs all day and play. She seemed very happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her :)”
“Le’Quitta was absolutely wonderful with Honey! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful and communicative. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she even brought one of her dogs to make sure Honey would be comfortable since she can be a little reactive around other dogs. Just before our trip, Honey unexpectedly needed stitches and had to wear a cone while taking medication every 12 hours. Le’Quitta didn’t hesitate—she happily took on the extra care, administered Honey’s medications, and gave us complete peace of mind so we could still enjoy our weekend away. Throughout Honey’s stay, Le’Quitta sent frequent updates and photos, and it was obvious Honey was having the best time playing with the other dogs. She even had her first positive introduction to a cat! Every picture showed a happy, smiling dog who was clearly loved and well cared for. I’m so grateful for Le’Quitta flexibility, communication, and genuine care for Honey. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“Petey had a wonderful time and I am happy to have Jeanette look after him whenever we travel. She provided pictures of Petey during his stay and was waiting for us on her front porch. He made new puppy friends, met a little boy who loves him and now has new friends.”
“Aaren & Jordon are truly wonderful puppy sitters! Throughout my pup’s stay with them, I received multiple updates during the day of the fun activities they were getting into. We were put at ease and loved to see our girl so happy while we were apart! We are thankful for them for welcoming our pup into their home with open arms.”
“Elizabeth agreed to watch my dog last minute and was very accommodating and kind! She sent me a lot of pictures and updates and made it feel like I wasn’t even away from my pup! I definitely look forward to booking with her again.”
