“This lady is AMAZING! last minute medical situation and with a new puppy. She was so welcoming and so nice. Great communication amazing updates and seriously she could be a pro dog photographer. Just absolutely no. 1 best person on Rover. Anyone in the area needing someone to care for your pups have to give her a shout!”
“I left my furbaby with Walter during my thanksgiving break during covid and i couldnt be happier. During meet and greet all precautions were taken while getting all details on my baby behavior and preferences as well as during drop off and pick up. My pup seemed extremely happy and loved during her whole stay. I received daily updates and pictures about activities. I would totally leave my baby with him again and totally recommend him!!”
“Thankful lucky got another day of fun play time with Alexsys and the other pets she was watching in her big fenced in backyard. Always appreciate her flexibility and responsiveness as well.”
“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”
“Yzabella is one of the best dog sitters we have ever hired. She is very dedicated to the pets and shows them love. We can tell because our dog return back home after nearly 2 weeks very happy. While we were away, Yzabella has been staying in frequent communication with us, sending pictures and we can really tell that she show pets a lot of attention. She is very caring and we will definitely be back to her and hire her for dog sitting again when we need to go on another trip where we can not take our dog with us. Great job, really thankful for everything she did. 5/5 definitely! Thank you really so much from bottom of our hearts, Yzabella! See you again soon!”
“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 is a wonderful lady and I would 100% book a stay for Lucy with her again! She sent me updates throughout Lucy's visit and was very gentle and sweet with my timid girl. I could tell that Lucy had warmed up to her when I picked her up and she rubbed on Linda and licked her hands. Lucy tends to not want to eat if she stays somewhere without me and Linda made sure she figured out how to get her to do so. Lucy got plenty of belly rubs and lots of love during her stay! Thank you, Linda, for taking such great care of my little girl!”
“Very happy with this dynamite duo- beautiful property- huge flat yard, updates throughout stay and overall just kind people! ❤️ They pointed out a lump on our Senior Golden (he has several) which lets us know the boys are getting their rubs in!”
“Gabby took great care of my Bonnie girl while we were away on vacation. She asked good questions during our meet and greet. I am so glad that she was willing to have Bonnie as the only dog in the house for the majority of the 2 weeks we were away. Bonnie doesn't get along with many other dogs, so when her stay overlapped with another dog that was there for a couple days before her, Gabby immediately let us know and was prepared to keep them separated. Gabby gave us frequent updates and pictures that helped reassure us that she was doing well. All of the instructions I left for her feeding were followed exactly as well. I am so grateful that we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Bonnie was being taken care of as if I were there myself.”
“I had to leave on a business and Lisette was able to look after my cat Ogden. Communication was quick and simple, and Lisette was very accommodating . I have no problem recommending this sitter.”
“Jessica was the perfect fit for my two babies. The minute the got out of the car they were exploring. Tails up! She has a wonderful space for animals to run and play outside and plenty of room inside as well. Her home is clean and inviting. She sent frequent updates and pictures. It was evident my doggies had a blast. I'm very thankful to have found her. I would give her 10 🌟 She's above and beyond a great sitter 🙌”
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.
“Lori and her fiancée are awesome! She had a lot of patience in answering my numerous questions prior to boarding our Sheepadoodle puppy. We really appreciate her and look forward to boarding again in the future.”
“I was in a pinch and needed someone reliable to keep Wiilow. I didn't want to leave her at a kennel or dog boarding facility because she would spend most of the time in a crate. Linda was the answer. She had a great place with huge backyard. Her home was equipped just right. Linda updated me with pictures via dogvacay throughout the day to assure me Willow was ok. Willow loved it! I would highly recommend her services.”
About: I provide a clean, cozy, and loving home where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Our fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for supervised play, exercise, and fresh air, while the indoors is a calm, comfortable environment with lots of attention and affection. We also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy the company of other pets and help create a welcoming atmosphere. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply relax, they’ll receive personalized care, plenty of love, and the attention they deserve throughout their stay. I’m a full time stay in home mom, who will be home most of the time to provide potty breaks and will be able to be close to pets. I have a fenced back yard. And all areas of my home are gated. Your dog will be kept in a comfortable free space. I can provide a more personal crate if required.

“So very pleased with Melissa. She checked in daily on Sammy and always sent photos and a detailed — often humorous— update on how he was and what he was doing. I will definitely hire Melissa again and highly recommend her.”
“When I first met Ms Kimberly it was an instant connection concerning my pet which is sunny and myself instantly felt comfortable with her. Miss Kimberly went above and beyond to take care of sunny and make me feel so comfortable knowing I was leaving her in great hands and thankful for her I think she’s pretty awesome with pets definitely would recommend her but I would hate to have to share with anybody when I need her ?!”
“Sonja was great! I felt very comfortable leaving Zoe with her and her pups. I can tell Zoe had a wonderful time playing with Sonja's dogs in her beautiful home and yard. I would have no hesitation leaving Zoe with her again!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats as family pets for many years and am comfortable providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets and meeting their daily needs. I am very flexible in my schedule and able to make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and other pet care needs as required for your furry friend :) I best care for pets by following the owner’s instructions, making sure they have food and water, giving them attention and playtime, and keeping them safe and comfortable.
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, small animals (like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters), and even large animals. Whether it’s daily care, feeding routines, exercise, or just companionship, I’m comfortable and confident in providing attentive and loving care tailored to each animal’s needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments—puppies and kittens, energetic adult pets, and seniors who need a little extra patience and support. I’ve also worked with animals that have special needs, such as those requiring medication, specific diets, or behavioral understanding. From walking dogs to mucking stalls, from playtime with curious cats to maintaining proper enclosures for small animals—I treat every animal with the same level of compassion, respect, and responsibility as if they were my own. As a part-time pet sitter, I’m available mornings and evenings during the week, and have open availability on weekends. This schedule allows me to provide dependable care around your pet’s routine—whether that’s early morning walks, breakfast and dinner feedings, or evening check-ins for some companionship and play. On weekends, I’m fully available for more extended visits, drop-ins, walks, or boarding if needed. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in your absence. Even with a part-time schedule, your pet will receive focused attention, affection, and reliable care every time I visit. At my home, your dog will have plenty of room to run! We live on 45+/- acres and my dog will be happy to run with yours and give them a tour of the farm! Whether your pet is in care at my home or yours, I will send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. I’ll reach out with any questions or concerns.
About: Hello! My name is Samantha. I have grown up with all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, rats, lizards, snakes, ect. I have dog sat in the past for friends and family and have raised/helped raise several different dog breeds including a litter of 9 Doberman/cane corso puppies. I love animals and give them all the attention and care i can offer! I am not currently working, so i have a lot of free time on my hands, especially during the week to fill with animal love! I will treat your house as my own and respect your space. I will clean up any mess left from your pooch if any and follow whatever directions you leave for me
“Lexi made 3 drop-in visits to check on our cats Ashes and Whiskers. She visited once before we left to see to all the arrangements and then reported on her visits during the drop-ins. Great communicator and pet care provider! Two thumbs up.”
About: I love animals Have always had an animal in my life. Not sure if I would function without one. Looking forward to caring for other animals. I currently have open availability. Not currently working outside of my home. Looking forward to helping others with their pets and making them feel comfortable being away from them Prefer to car for pets in your home. I have 2 dogs and the are pretty much just used to each other. Need to know what your dogs temperament is likes and dislikes
“Georgia was excellent watching my cat. She sent great, detailed updates and awesome pictures. She was super friendly and very personable. Will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Charlotte is very knowledgeable and reliable. She took good care of my cats while we were out of town. I will book her again and highly recommend Charlotte for pet sitting services.”
About: Everyone calls me when they need a reliable and dedicated pair of hands to watch over their children. Yes, I treat every dog like a furry child. I've helped raise dogs from 6 weeks to 16 years old. The young and the old need a little more attention and I'm happy to help. Those terrible 2's just need extra attention, and I'm happy to provide that too! I love all animals and will probably treat the kids like royalty. I prefer the company of dogs than my friends, they could vouch for that! I'm both loving and also stern because I've raised both labs and pitties. They require different types of parenting techniques, and I am equipped to handle anything. I work full time, Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. I'm happy to use my work breaks to check on animals for those who need the extra attention. My availability will be based around my work and my 2 kiddos at home. I can adjust weekly routines to incorporate pickup/drop offs, stop in visits, after work walks, or overnight stays. I treat dogs like they are our kids. I talk to them, I cuddle with them, and I use positive reinforcement to train good habits. I've helped raise a dozen dogs and each dog likes to show you how they like to be treated. I learned this lesson the hard way when I was raising dogs and had to learn different techniques to train each of them individually. Labs learn and function much different than bulldogs and pitbulls. I treat each dog the same regardless of size or attitude. Though I may give them some attitude when mouth off, like I do with my pitty at home (lol). I'm a safety first kind of person when it comes to our kids. So I tend to lean on the side of caution and extra equipment when interacting with most dogs. I always keep extra dogs supplies in my truck at all times as I have been known to that guy who stops traffic to try to rescue a dog. I've done this probably 6 or 7 times.
About: I love animals, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I’m looking after your pet, I treat them the same way I would want my own pets treated if I were away, with patience, kindness, and full attention to their needs. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with a stranger...I still worry. That’s why I do everything I can to make both you and your pet feel comfortable from the very beginning. Building trust is so important to me, and I want you to feel completely confident that your pet is in good hands! I’ve been dog sitting for years, and I also volunteered at an animal shelter throughout college, which gave me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. This has helped me become confident in handling everything from energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs who need a little extra care. Communication is KEY. I will provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I can pick up the phone anytime! I work a 9-5 but am available before and after work! I am very active and I like to prioritize walking and physical activity. My dad currently has a "Foster Fail" who I adore. Anytime I'm home, he knows to jump in the car and go. We walk and play together most days. I think it's unfair to not walk our dogs (if you are able). They give so much to us, the least we can do is give them a good walk!
About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember. I have had both dogs and cats and love them both equally. I have cared for pets for both family members and friends. I've watched all types of animals with many different personalities. On top of pet sitting, I have fostered multiple litters of kittens, which has taught me patience and attentiveness. I understand the hard work, attention and love that goes into managing any kind of animal, and I am willing to do just about anything to make sure that your pet feels loved and safe.
About: I have been pet sitting for about 10 years, caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors—and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do. I’m currently available for pet sitting Monday through Friday until 4:00 PM. During the summer, my schedule is more flexible, which allows me to accommodate additional visits and varying care needs. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, feeding, playtime, a walk, medication, companionship, or just a friendly drop-in visit, I’m happy to help. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that fits your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and special care instructions.

About: I’ve taken care of many different pets over the past two years. I created a Facebook page for pet sitting and have watch dogs, cats, even ducks. I love any and all pets!

I have a very flexible schedule to fit your pet in my day and I can even stay with your pet for the day while taking my classes with them sitting by my side. I am not able to currently watch pets at my house but would be more then happy to come and stay with your pet over night for there comfort.
“Gabby was exceptional taking care my dog, Luna! It was my first time leaving her with a sitter and using Rover and she made the experience so much easier. She loved on my pup and sent me updates with pictures and videos throughout her overnight stay. Gabby is professional, friendly, and caring towards the pup and their human. I needed some handholding and she was super kind. I’d recommend Gabby any time!”
“Lisette is WONDERFUL and her family is also so nice. She was very friendly and lovable, super communicative, helpful, and also flexible. She took great care of my dog and sent photos throughout the day, and he was really happy and relaxed (and in no hurry to leave) when I came to pick him up so I know he loved being there! I definitely recommend her and will send my dog there again anytime she's available!”
About: Dog care certified in Argentina, as an animal lover I want to pursue career caring for them. Since young, I used to spend a lot of time in dog walks and parks with them. I believe now, I can provide them the perfect environment of a fenced backyard of 10.000 sqf. I love to exercise and pamper pups and we're easy to reach, even for a last-minute need. With some dog training experience and a lot of love for dogs, I look forward to taking care of your family member like one of our own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will take long playtime or jogs with your dog. If your furry family member just needs companionship and loving attention, I am happy to provide that kind of care, too. Photos of your dog will be shared with you throughout their visit. I love to send lots of pictures of my guests. My house is generally a cage-free environment, but will use your crates if that is what your pup is used to at home. I have a couple of gates to use as necessary to separate dogs during meals and to give them a large, safe play area in our home.
“Taking on a totally unknown dog from a cross-country road trip, IS a risk. We knew our senior dog Ginger would likely be stressed: 1st from the trip, and 2nd to be left with a stranger, in an unfamiliar environment. Linda really seems to love the dogs, she had 1-2 fosters there when we arrived (not sure, as I think I only saw 1). While I'm sure it was hard on both of them, we do sincerely appreciate her taking on our dog for a few hours, so that we could attend the wedding of an old family friend. If you read this Linda, I am interested in that food you had there for your fosters. Please shoot me a message, I may look at ordering it to try next time. Thanks again!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I love dogs! I’ve taken care of neighbor’s and friend’s dogs and currently have one of my own. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, walking and training dogs on and off lead. I currently work only part-time, so I have a lot of free time on my hands. There are a few weekends or nights that I’ll be away, but we can book in advance. I have a private house with tons of green space and corn fields. We have no visible neighbors, so your dog will enjoy a bit of the peaceful country lifestyle. My dog goes outside off-leash, but I can keep yours on to keep them safe.
“This was the first time we used Rover.com so we were a little apprehensive. Linda made that first time experience wonderful. Words cannot describe how pleased we were with response, friendliness and most of all the care our fur baby received. Would recommend her service without hesitation.”
About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I'm passionate about keeping them happy and active with fun walks. I also have experience managing multiple dogs on walks. I’m currently in summer break so I have more free time than usual and I always wake up early to take my own dogs out. I always take my dogs out 3 times a day morning, evening and night. As well as giving them ample food and water in the mornings and evenings. And of course we can talk more about how I can better take care of your pup.
About: My dog Freckles and I would love to welcome other pups in our home, which features an open basement for dog play, a gated garage for outdoor lounging (see photos), and a small nearby park for dog walks. I work remotely from home during the week with a flexible schedule for taking the pups outside as needed. Morning and evening walks with occasional trips to the dog park. Treats throughout the day and meals as needed. Plenty of play and pets in between. I have a friendly dog named Freckles who loves to play with other dogs of all types and sizes. Dogs are allowed anywhere in the house as well as in my outdoor garage space which is gated off.
About: My wife & I grew up with pets all kinds and recently we adopted a dog from a rescue and that spark has been reignited of what we've been missing. We have thought long and hard and prayed about doing this. We have a 11 year old son that loves to walk the animals and give them exercise and plenty of opportunities to do their business. My Wife home schools and I currently work part-time so someone will always be home to monitor your pet/pets. We have been told that recent pets we've sitted are in heaven when their in our home. We have one small pup she is 3.5 years old and seems to do well with other pets. We will love and care for your pets just as if they were our own.
“My Hera loves Emily & her pup Peaches. Hera gets treat boards, lots of walks, snuggles, and activities. Emily continues training I do at home with Hera at daycare...such as auto sit at the street edge and wait for "cross" command before crossing the street. A happy Hera makes me a happy dog mama. 😀”
About: I have always had a deep love and affection for animals, and I am lucky enough to have three fur babies of my own. As a pet owner, I understand the importance of finding someone reliable and trustworthy to care for our furry friends while we are away. That's why I am excited to offer my services as a pet sitter. I promise to treat your pets with the same love and care that I give to my own dogs, and will make sure that they are happy and comfortable while in my care. Whether it's walking, feeding, or just providing some extra TLC, I am dedicated to making sure that your pets are well taken care of. If you are in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter, I would love the opportunity to be of service. My husband and I both work from home so we are able to provide bathroom breaks, cuddles and attention all day long for our fur guests. For drop in visits we can come during our lunch hour and right after work! I am able to provide food, medications, love, cuddles, time outside, play time, and make sure they are taken care of to the fullest extent during their visit with my family.

I enjoy having the ability to interact with them on a daily basis. I currently have one fur baby of my own, Roxy (13 yo Jack Russell), but I have been around all types of animals since I was little, and I can't imagine my life without them. I would love to include more animals in my life by helping you take care of yours from drop-in visits, dog walking and more! I believe in positive reinforcement training versus negative reinforcement, which supports an animal’s overall well being. My goal is to make sure that your dog is fully sated from our walk so that when you get home you have a relaxed doggie! Having had more than one dog of my own in the past I am experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time, so if you have 2 or more dogs that need daily walks I am up for it!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and got into dog training 2 years ago. I assisted a dog training company with the dogs they would board and care for, and assisted with multiple training outings. I also raised and trained my own service animal. I’m currently working part time, and will focus solely on providing care for your pet and home.

My dog and I are constantly walking, playing, and training at any time possible. I am extremely flexible. Shadow is extremely friendly with other dogs. He is neutered so I am able to have unfixed females in my house. I do not have a fenced in backyard, but I love going on walks at anytime throughout the day. My dog currently sleeps in a crate, but your dog can do what’s the most comfortable for them.
“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”
About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember. I have had both dogs and cats and love them both equally. I have cared for pets for both family members and friends. I've watched all types of animals with many different personalities. On top of pet sitting, I have fostered multiple litters of kittens, which has taught me patience and attentiveness. In my free time, I also enjoy volunteering at a local rescue to help walk dogs. I understand the hard work, attention and love that goes into managing any kind of animal, and I am willing to do just about anything to make sure that your pet feels loved and safe. I am a grad student who only has in person classes on Tuesday typically 8am - 4pm, which makes me very flexible for the rest of the week. I am very conscious about safety when it comes to walk, and/or letting dogs out in a fenced in area. I am sure to read any instructions before hand to learn about any issues individual pet needs.

About: I have taken care of sick elderly dog. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their dogs or cats or other pets. I have had experience with farm animals.

She has a little house inside the hutch where she can sit inside when it’s cold outside, it’s filled with straw.

“Thankful lucky got another day of fun play time with Alexsys and the other pets she was watching in her big fenced in backyard. Always appreciate her flexibility and responsiveness as well.”
“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”
“Very happy with this dynamite duo- beautiful property- huge flat yard, updates throughout stay and overall just kind people! ❤️ They pointed out a lump on our Senior Golden (he has several) which lets us know the boys are getting their rubs in!”
“Gabby took great care of my Bonnie girl while we were away on vacation. She asked good questions during our meet and greet. I am so glad that she was willing to have Bonnie as the only dog in the house for the majority of the 2 weeks we were away. Bonnie doesn't get along with many other dogs, so when her stay overlapped with another dog that was there for a couple days before her, Gabby immediately let us know and was prepared to keep them separated. Gabby gave us frequent updates and pictures that helped reassure us that she was doing well. All of the instructions I left for her feeding were followed exactly as well. I am so grateful that we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Bonnie was being taken care of as if I were there myself.”
“I had to leave on a business and Lisette was able to look after my cat Ogden. Communication was quick and simple, and Lisette was very accommodating . I have no problem recommending this sitter.”
“Jessica was the perfect fit for my two babies. The minute the got out of the car they were exploring. Tails up! She has a wonderful space for animals to run and play outside and plenty of room inside as well. Her home is clean and inviting. She sent frequent updates and pictures. It was evident my doggies had a blast. I'm very thankful to have found her. I would give her 10 🌟 She's above and beyond a great sitter 🙌”
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.
