I appreciate all the pictures and I feel comfortable that our gurl Socks is having a blast on her sleepover and enjoying her mini vacation with Mickey !!! Thanks so much Mickey continue to provide outstanding service!!!”
“Larissa was absolutely amazing! I am a very protective dog mom and don't normally leave my Stink with anyone. Based off other's recommendations for Larissa, I gave her a try and she exceeded my expectations. She was very attentive and kept me updated with pictures, how he was doing throughout the day, etc. She catered to his needs and my anxiety. Lol I will 100% use her again. I'm actually looking forward to it.”
“Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.”
“I absolutely recommend Seyla for your Dog Boarding needs. He kept us informed of our baby's care everyday, and sent videos and pictures. I think he was better to our pup than we are, LOL! He took our baby to the water and sent us a video of the trip. Smokey looked so happy and full of excitement. Seyla will be re-booked again and again by us. Excellent Dog Care provider!”
“Traci watched our big senior boy for a week previously so when we had another week long trip, we knew Leo would be in good hands with her! Traci is very thoughtful and made sure Leo was comfortable, despite him being anxious being away from his family. She provided lots of updates and photos and we felt happy knowing that Leo was in good hands. Thanks so much, Traci!”
“What can I say about Connie that hasn't already been said by all of her happy clients! Connie boarded our dog, Willow, for over two weeks during the holidays while we were out of town. During Willow's stay, we got photo updates everyday and Willow had such a great time playing with all the dogs! Nearing the end of Willow's stay, we were traveling back to VA and got hit with flight delays and cancellations so there was no way we'd be able to make it home in time for pick up. It was a very stressful situation for us, but Connie was incredibly understanding and flexible, and it felt so comforting to know that Willow was taken care of while we were handling all these other logistics of getting home. I cannot say enough about the peace of mind Connie provided us. When we finally made it back to Virginia, our area got hit with a snowstorm, which led to highway closures and loss of electricity over several days. It was truly one thing after another! Connie's priority at the time was everyone's safety so she kept Willow for an additional day until the roads were cleared. There are not enough words to describe Connie's high level of service and understanding. And as always, Willow was VERY tired and all played out by the time we finally got home! We are so grateful to Connie for helping us and will always, without hesitation, recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Eldeen and her family are such wonderful pet people. Recently, I extended my vacation (an additional day) but forgot to update the time in Rover. Eldeen and her family were so understanding and allowed Mimi to stay an additional day as well. I am so happy I found someplace to send Mimi where she's happy and so am I. Great family!”
“Phillip, Took extra special care of our fur baby. Very professional and always responded promptly regarding the well being of dog. Highly recommended! Definitely 5 stars easliy..*****”
“We boarded our dog, Mack, with Jesus for 10 days and are so happy with the care and attention he was given while we were away. Jesus was in daily contact with us and sent pictures/videos and updates every day, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our trip without worry. We were confident Mack was having fun and was in great hands. For a dog that is weary of strangers, Mack loves Jesus and we are so grateful to have found him! We’d recommend Jesus to anyone and know Mack is looking forward to his next stay with Jesus.”
“A great vacation for my high energy pups! Christopher was very responsive and was awesome at accommodating for my shepards. Lots of space for them to run and play. Would recommend!”
“5 stars! We were so lucky to find Heather! Our sweet doggy didn’t have a worry in the world because she was so well cared for! Heather and her crew are a blessing!”
“Ligia was awesome while watching my crazy Pitbull!! She was very patient and has alot of knowledge of working with dogs!! I will definitely be using Ligia in the future and will refer her to friends as well!”
“Tiffany is truly the BEST! She really is my dog’s second mama. He loves her and gets excited to see her and spend time with her family. She’s very present with her communication and always makes sure I’m in the loop. I get regular photos and videos of my pup which puts my mind at ease. If you are looking for someone 100% trustworthy to look after your fur baby, Tiffany is your person!! I’ve been looking working with her for over 3 years now.”
“Megan was amazing with my two dogs. I had never used a dog sitter before and was a little hesitant but the communication and pics minimized my fear. I will be using her and her family again. Thanks, Megan!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Mocha enjoyed her stay with Julie, she loved running around the farm and playing with the other pups 🥰 I appreciated all the pictures & videos that were sent. Definitely would use have Julie watch over Mocha again.”
“Our girls were loved and very well cared for. 🩷 As parents, we could not ask for more. Svetlana is compassionate for your fur babies and you the parents. 🥰 We received videos that helped us to enjoy our time away, because we didn't have to wonder how they were doing. We are grateful for Svetlana. 🐾”

I also have experience with senior dogs who need a little extra help doing basic tasks.

I am available during the week, weekends, and most holidays I have taken courses on proper leash care, and dog handling.

“Let me start this off by saying my animals are my babies and they are my world! From the moment this young lady walked into my home. I knew they would be in good hands! I have a house full. On this visit, Peyton was taking care of four cats and one very rambunctious dog. She handled it like a champ and my dog and my cats still look for her after her visit. I needed she was there, anything I needed to change Without batting and I she did it. She’s very warm, very loving and very responsible! My fur babies loved her! If you’re looking for someone That you can leave with your babies and not look back knowing that they are very well taken care of then definitely Peyton is your gal! We we’re gone for an extended period of time and I have never left my dog ever. Actually I don’t think she even noticed I was gone lol. We love Peyton and would love to put her in one of our suitcases and take her to Florida with us!

We will Definitely spread the word and you will be our go to Gal When and if we ever come back to Virginia’💜💜”
“Paige was personable, took good pictures, kept me up to date and was always on time. And also great was that my cats felt quite comfortable with her when they usually run and hide with visitors. Thank you, Paige!”
“Misty was wonderful with my cat, Apollo, over Thanksgiving! I was out of state and completely at ease knowing she was taking such great care of him. She sent daily updates and photos, which made being away so much easier. I had just bought an automatic feeder that started malfunctioning right after I left, and Misty handled it perfectly, making sure Apollo was fed and cared for. It really reinforced how important it is to have someone reliable checking in, even if you have automatic feeders and a water fountain. I’m so grateful for her help and will definitely book with her again! 🐾”
About: My first cat was named Jasper. He was a tiger stripe American shorthair with Jasper colored eyes (hence his name). He was a stray we took in, and we noticed he had a slight limp. After a visit to the vet, and some x-rays were taken, it was clear his left hip had been injured when he was younger (vet approximated his age to be 10 at the time). I cared for him while he had his cone, after his leg was amputated (poor guy!), ensuring he received the proper medications on time. My second cat was an all-black stray (not sure his breed), but I named him Kuro. I had him for a year and some change and gave him to my friend after moving to a pet-free community. I missed having a cat, so I searched and found Naruto, who was only 10 days old, and I adopted him on the spot! I've taught him all his little quirks, including back-talking lol! I trained him to come at the sound of a particular whistle, to jump up on something after I tap, or scrape it in a certain pattern, and taught him to play fetch! I am able to administer medications Intravenous, or Sub-q, as well as advise on best care practices!

“Tiffany was an absolute delight to book with!! From the very beginning, she was very prompt in her responses and answered any questions that I had. I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus!

About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.

About: Growing up surrounded by the wagging tails of dogs and the gentle purrs of cats, my love for animals has been a lifelong passion. With over six years of experience as a Veterinary Technician, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to the care of your beloved pets. My background ensures that I am well-equipped to handle any situation with calm and confidence. In addition to my professional experience, I have been an active volunteer and foster for a local dog rescue organization for the past five years. During this time, I have fostered over 70 rescue dogs, providing them with the love, care, and stability they need to thrive and find their forever homes. My extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with my veterinary skills and dedication to rescue work, ensures that your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or medical needs, I am committed to making your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. As someone who works from home, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent and attentive care to each pet throughout the day. Here’s a glimpse of how pet care fits into my daily life: Morning Routine: Early Walks: I start the day with early morning walks or playtime in the yard, ensuring that pets get their first burst of energy out and start their day on a positive note. Feeding Time: After exercise, it’s breakfast time. I follow each pet’s specific dietary needs and ensure they have fresh water. Midday Routine: Interactive Play: Mid-morning, I take breaks from work to engage in interactive play sessions or training exercises, stimulating both their minds and bodies. Potty Breaks: Regular potty breaks are scheduled to keep pets comfortable and maintain a routine. Afternoon Routine: Exercise & Walks: Another round of exercise or a walk in the afternoon keeps pets active and happy. For those staying at my home, this might include a visit to a local park or a playdate with other friendly pets. Quiet Time: Pets also enjoy some quiet time while I focus on work, with cozy spaces available for napping and relaxation. Evening Routine: Dinner Time: As the workday winds down, it’s time for their evening meal. I maintain their feeding schedules and monitor their intake. Evening Walks & Play: We finish the day with another walk or play session, ensuring they are tired and content for the night. Nightly Routine: Before bed, I provide another potty break and some final cuddles or quiet time to help them settle in for a restful night. Weekend Routine: Extra Attention: Weekends often include extra activities like longer walks, visits to pet-friendly places, or more extended play sessions to make the most of the extra time. Working from home allows me to be present and responsive to the needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve throughout the day. This routine provides a balanced blend of work and pet care, creating a harmonious and happy environment for everyone. Caring for Pets in My Home: I live in a Townhouse with a fully fenced in backyard. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space for them to explore and play. Each pet gets individual attention tailored to their needs, including regular exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of affection. I have designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing to ensure their comfort and happiness. Additionally, I maintain a pet-friendly home with secure fencing and pet-proofing measures to ensure their safety.Caring for Pets in Your Home:When I care for pets in their own home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and provide a familiar environment to minimize stress. I follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owners regarding feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. Daily visits include playtime, walks, and social interaction to keep your pets happy and engaged. I ensure that your home remains clean and secure, and I am diligent about updating you on your pet's well-being. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care to make your pets feel comfortable and content in their own space.

Today, I am a proud parent to a cat and two Holland Lop rabbits! Because I have lived alongside animals my whole life, I excel at reading their body language, vocal cues, and unique personalities. I am ready to provide a premium, loving, and safe environment for your babies!" I'm newly a father and am currently on paid family leave, and am available most days. My daily routine includes waking around 3am and getting the day started. I have several 2 hour blocks of time throughout my day that are not currently filled with any activities, perfect for caring for your pets! In My Home (Cat & Rabbit Friendly): Separate Zones: I maintain dedicated, safe zones for my resident cat and two Holland Lop rabbits to prevent stress. Exotic-Safe Space: My home environment is calm, secure, and adapted to handle specialized pet needs without disruption. Escorted Outdoor Time: Any outdoor access is strictly supervised within secure boundaries. In your home: Home Security: I strictly follow your home entry, locking, and alarm instructions to ensure property safety. Zero-Trace Care: I leave your home exactly as I found it, or better, cleaning up all pet waste immediately. Consistency: I mimic your exact feeding, walking, and crating schedules to minimize your pet's separation anxiety. Communication Expert: My lifetime of experience with giant breeds, livestock, and exotics means I actively read body language to prevent stress or conflict, and can quickly soothe an agitated pet. Daily Updates: I send frequent text and photo updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and thriving. Emergency Ready: I keep your preferred vet information on hand and maintain a clear action plan for urgent situations, prioritizing your pets health above all else!
“Tonie was incredible! She responded super quickly to my last minute dog walking request and treated my puppy with much care. She was also super communicative and I’ll be asking her to look after him again :)”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every kind since I was young, and I truly love to spoil animals. I’ve trained dogs from puppies and currently have a senior baby of my own, so I understand the needs of both energetic pups and older dogs who require extra patience. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s long walks, training, or cozy cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and special. I work remotely with flexible hours, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available weekdays and Saturdays, with Sundays unavailable. Since I can work from anywhere, I’m even able to work at your home with your pets if that makes them feel more comfortable. This flexibility means your pets will get plenty of attention, walks, and cuddles throughout the day while still keeping to their regular routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for them in their own familiar environment, helping them feel secure and at ease while you’re away. I’m also very quick with communication, keeping you updated so you always have peace of mind. I take time to get to know each pet and always follow your instructions carefully. You can trust that I’ll treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I give my own.

“Needed a dog sitter last minute and they took Zeus in as family once again no problem. He was around pigs, goats and other dogs; this is seriously dog heaven. So grateful to have found you guys!”
“Mickey, is a phenomenal dog sitter! Our gurl Socks loves when her Mommy & Daddy go out of town, she knows she will be well taken care of and have a wonderful time with Uncle Mickey lol he is apart of our family for sure.. I appreciate all the pictures and I feel comfortable that our gurl Socks is having a blast on her sleepover and enjoying her mini vacation with Mickey !!! Thanks so much Mickey continue to provide outstanding service!!!”
“Larissa was absolutely amazing! I am a very protective dog mom and don't normally leave my Stink with anyone. Based off other's recommendations for Larissa, I gave her a try and she exceeded my expectations. She was very attentive and kept me updated with pictures, how he was doing throughout the day, etc. She catered to his needs and my anxiety. Lol I will 100% use her again. I'm actually looking forward to it.”
“Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.”
“I absolutely recommend Seyla for your Dog Boarding needs. He kept us informed of our baby's care everyday, and sent videos and pictures. I think he was better to our pup than we are, LOL! He took our baby to the water and sent us a video of the trip. Smokey looked so happy and full of excitement. Seyla will be re-booked again and again by us. Excellent Dog Care provider!”
“Traci watched our big senior boy for a week previously so when we had another week long trip, we knew Leo would be in good hands with her! Traci is very thoughtful and made sure Leo was comfortable, despite him being anxious being away from his family. She provided lots of updates and photos and we felt happy knowing that Leo was in good hands. Thanks so much, Traci!”
“What can I say about Connie that hasn't already been said by all of her happy clients! Connie boarded our dog, Willow, for over two weeks during the holidays while we were out of town. During Willow's stay, we got photo updates everyday and Willow had such a great time playing with all the dogs! Nearing the end of Willow's stay, we were traveling back to VA and got hit with flight delays and cancellations so there was no way we'd be able to make it home in time for pick up. It was a very stressful situation for us, but Connie was incredibly understanding and flexible, and it felt so comforting to know that Willow was taken care of while we were handling all these other logistics of getting home. I cannot say enough about the peace of mind Connie provided us. When we finally made it back to Virginia, our area got hit with a snowstorm, which led to highway closures and loss of electricity over several days. It was truly one thing after another! Connie's priority at the time was everyone's safety so she kept Willow for an additional day until the roads were cleared. There are not enough words to describe Connie's high level of service and understanding. And as always, Willow was VERY tired and all played out by the time we finally got home! We are so grateful to Connie for helping us and will always, without hesitation, recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Phillip, Took extra special care of our fur baby. Very professional and always responded promptly regarding the well being of dog. Highly recommended! Definitely 5 stars easliy..*****”
“We boarded our dog, Mack, with Jesus for 10 days and are so happy with the care and attention he was given while we were away. Jesus was in daily contact with us and sent pictures/videos and updates every day, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our trip without worry. We were confident Mack was having fun and was in great hands. For a dog that is weary of strangers, Mack loves Jesus and we are so grateful to have found him! We’d recommend Jesus to anyone and know Mack is looking forward to his next stay with Jesus.”
“A great vacation for my high energy pups! Christopher was very responsive and was awesome at accommodating for my shepards. Lots of space for them to run and play. Would recommend!”
“5 stars! We were so lucky to find Heather! Our sweet doggy didn’t have a worry in the world because she was so well cared for! Heather and her crew are a blessing!”
“Ligia was awesome while watching my crazy Pitbull!! She was very patient and has alot of knowledge of working with dogs!! I will definitely be using Ligia in the future and will refer her to friends as well!”
“Megan was amazing with my two dogs. I had never used a dog sitter before and was a little hesitant but the communication and pics minimized my fear. I will be using her and her family again. Thanks, Megan!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Mocha enjoyed her stay with Julie, she loved running around the farm and playing with the other pups 🥰 I appreciated all the pictures & videos that were sent. Definitely would use have Julie watch over Mocha again.”
“Tracey was AMAZING with my boy Jack. She sent pictures & updates daily, which I and my kids loved. She took him on multiple walks and a dog park daily. He came home and didn't move because he was so wore out. I really enjoyed her open communication. I will definitely be using Tracey in the future for Jack's boarding needs!”
“Heather has a wonderful farmette-style setting for pet sitting, with great accommodations inside and outside! Our pup turned out to be very anxious about being left somewhere new, but Heather was extremely caring and interested in making him feel as comfortable as possible. Her efforts allowed him to finally relax and enjoy his stay without incident. We will definitely use Heather again when needed :)”
“Kelly was incredible! Her home and her pup were so welcoming and friendly. Very communicative and sent great updates and photos. Would definitely recommend!”
“Hannah watched my dog Molly for two weeks and did an outstanding job. Communication was consistent every day with updates and photos, which made me feel completely at ease. Molly received lots of attention, and Hannah stayed with her so she wasn’t left alone. It’s clear Hannah genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I’d definitely rebook and recommend her to anyone on Rover.”
