“Kalley was a fantastic pet sitter. She took such great care of my pup, and treated him as though he were one of their own. Highly, highly recommended if you are looking for a caring, positive environment for your pet while you are away. She sent pictures nearly every day with updates on how he was doing. Thank you Kalley! We will definitely reach out to you next time we have a need for pet sitting! ?”
“Bella is an amazing Pet Sitter and dog groomer! This is the first time anyone has ever kept my Pom so I was a little nervous. All those nerves were put to reset the moment we met and you assured me my puppy was in good hands. I appreciate all the messages and photos you sent. These are some of the best photos I have of my puppy! I will definitely book you again and recommend you to outer pet owners.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Heather was great! Kept me informed on how my dog Cody was doing and sent pics of him with her dogs. Cody seemed to love her Lab. Lots of room to run in her fenced in back yard. Will definitely use her again!”
“Alexsys took great care of both of my dogs. She was very communicative through the week she had them. She was very accommodating and understanding to my dogs needs. I would highly recommend her!”
“Linda was wonderful with our sweet pup, Henry! Daily updates were very helpful and she went above and beyond to show him love. I would definitely have Linda take care of Henry again and would recommend highly!”

“Gabby is amazing! She accommodated our baby super last minute and saved a very important trip for our family. She’s extremely responsive, keeps you updated with plenty of photos and messages, and it’s very obvious that her entire family is full of animal lovers. They spoiled our big rambunctious Cane Corso puppy more than we could have wished for in a sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely use again! Thank you, Gabby and family!”
“Lori was amazing and the pup was well taken care of, it was great knowing our pup was in good hands, we got updates through out the weekend, would recommend Lori to EVERYONE! :)”
“Whitney was incredible good with my little one. She took care of him very well when I was sick. And Tokyo had a great time with her dog Feather. She sent me lots of pictures and lmk all the time of how was my dog, and I appreciate that very much. Thank you Whitney!!!”
“Such a great experience from the meet and greet to picking up our two pups at the end of their stay. Katherine’s knowledge, experience and love for animals was seen clearly through all parts of the process. She is very responsive and getting daily pictures during their stay was just the best! Her comfy indoor space and beautiful outdoor spaces provide a great environment for whatever your pup needs, from zoomies to cuddles. Knowing Chipper and Dutchess were being cared for and loved on by Katherine put our minds at ease and helped us fully enjoy our time away. We will absolutely book again!”
“Desirae was absolutely wonderful and treated our pup like family. Her and her family are super sweet and she would send us pictures and keep us updated on how our girl was doing. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter since we adopted her. It was hard leaving her for the weekend, but it helped knowing that she was on good hands. Thank you so much Desirae!”
“Lauren provided excellent care for Bryce. She regularly sent photos and videos of him throughout his stay with her. Her yard is large and fenced in so plenty of space for your pup to zoom around. High recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
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.

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.
“I highly recommend Darian to take care of your pets! I needed someone reliable, and on very short notice, to take care of my precious skittish cat for three weeks. Darian did a wonderful job tending to all my cat's needs, and she accomplished the amazing by quickly getting my suspicious, standoffish cat to allow her to pet her! Darian also went the extra mile of cleaning up the floor several times when my cat coughed up hairballs and had other tummy issues. Darian had not taken care of my pet before, but she stepped in like a pro and took care of her, and kept tabs on my house as well. As I said at first, I highly recommend Darian for your pet!”
“This was the second time I’ve had Katie check on my three cats while I was away and just like last time, she was absolutely amazing! She even threw a birthday party for my two girls, who share a birthday on July 4th. I am so beyond grateful to have found a pet sitter that has such a genuine heart for animals and gives the absolute best care. I will absolutely be booking Katie every single time I need someone to check on my babies! You can trust that she will give your pet(s) the best care and love while you are away. Thank you again, Katie! My cats will certainly be happy to see you again (especially Meejum lol)”

About: Hey! My name is grace and I’ve been working around animals my whole life from dogs, horses, goats, cats, etc. I’d love to have the ability to treat your pet like I do my own! Your pups will take up all my time since I do have a very open schedule! I also don’t need much notice to be able to see your animal. I can walk your dog, play with them, if they need to be put into a crate, brushed, washed (depends on the dog), but communicate with me what you want and I can see what I can do.
“Nikita showed his skills as a dog handler from literally the moment he walked in, greeting the shy dog so skillfully that she happily went right up to him to say hi. He was great with rambunctious Duncan and my very energetic young puppy Holly, managing to keep them playing safely together until they were tired enough to give me a few hours of peace before they recharge their energy. I'll definitely book Nikita again!”
“Allyson is a gentle spirit and wonderful cat sitter. I call her the cat whisperer, as she gets our nervous Frida out from hiding under the bed and snuggling in her lap. We come home to happy kitties every time. We highly recommend Allyson.”
“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.”
“Sherry was amazing! We decided to go on a last minute trip and she met with us the night before we left. She was so nice and a joy to be around so we knew Charlie would love her! This was our first time leaving him but we were reassured by her personality. She did everything we wanted and more. We can't thank her enough and we highly recommend her! We will definitely use her services in the future!”
“Megan is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel extra loved when we are out of town. We hope to continue to use Megan in the future.”
“Kat had a wonderful time with Anna! She and Anna had extensive conversations, and played hard. The pictures Anna sent prove it. Anna took fantastic care of our furball, and we'll definitely ask for Anna's help next time we go out of town.”
“Sara was fantastic! She took amazing care of my 5 kitties. She kept me updated on how they were doing after each visit and made sure to provide photos of all of them. I was also very happy to hear that my very shy cat who tends to hide from everyone came out each visit and was happy to say hello and get some pets. I would definitely recommend Sara and book with her again!”

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.
“Shaghayegh made Tucker feel right at home. He went into her house happy and excited. I received photos of their walk. I’m happy and I highly recommend Shaghayegh.”
“Alexsys is absolutely amazing and super sweet!! I had a last minute booking that she was able to take!! She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day showing how much of a good time my Rheya had!! I also LOVE that she was able to play with some other furry friends and had a back yard to get her zoomies out! 100% will be booking with her again!!”
“Jordan was amazing! I plan to book her again if available! I can tell my pup was excited & happy with his doggy daycare visits. Not only did she accept my last minute booking, but she was open and very negotiable with pick uo & drop off times. She frequently sent pics, walked my pup multiple time a day & had no doubts leaving my dog in her care. Would highly encourage anyone to consider booking her for pet services!”

“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!”
“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!”
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.
“Gabby was an awesome Dog Sitter. I could tell from the moment she met my dogs that she was going to be a great sitter. She sent me pictures throughout their day to keep me updated. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I am a huge animal lover! I grew up with dogs and cats and almost every pet I’ve had was a rescue. I started pet sitting my neighbor’s dogs when I was 14. I took a break for a while then started back up about 3 years ago. I have several neighbors and family friends who’s cats and dogs I take care of when their owners are away.

I have no problem with overnights or extended stays. My weekends are open as well! I have a fenced in yard if I need to bring your fur baby to my house.

“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 around dogs my entire life and feel very comfortable caring for them. I have also house-sat for a family before, which included caring for their dog and following their daily routine. Through this experience, I’ve learned the importance of consistency, attention, and keeping pets safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m confident handling dogs with different energy levels and personalities, and I always make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and exercise. I currently work part-time during some evenings, so my availability can vary slightly depending on my work schedule. However, I am flexible and do my best to accommodate pet care needs whenever possible. I am also available most mornings, afternoons, and weekends, and I’m happy to communicate and plan to ensure your pet gets consistent and reliable care. I prioritize safety and trust in every pet care experience. I offer services at my client’s home and do not provide boarding in my own home. This allows pets to stay in a familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. I am respectful of each home, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure pets are always safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

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. I have taken care of my pet rabbit everyday. I’m open to cats or dogs or any other types of pets, even snakes, I actually love snakes. They’re so cute. I’m a freshman in college, and I am taking a path to becoming a veterinarian. Currently I will not be available, but for me school ends on May 10, so after that I will be home for summer and be available 24/7. We only have a pet bunny, so we built her a hutch that has little side doors and a top that opens up and you can reach her. She has a little house inside the hutch where she can sit inside when it’s cold outside, it’s filled with straw.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I would help family and neighbors and then grew to not just a job it has came to something I love and thrive to do. I am now 33 years old and I strive to help others with their fur babies so they are never alone and taken care of. I own my own farm so my pet care starts at 6am to when I go to bed. I have some much time through the day I I want to help others with their pets/animals. I do not watch others animals in my home only due to our farm animals. But I am happy to go to my clients home to feed, water, give basic care and play with clients pets.
“Just started with Anna but I am absolutely thrilled with her first couple of visits. She spends lots of quality time with my fur babies and provides terrific updates. I have already booked her for the rest of the month.”
About: (Brand new to Rover) I’ve been around animals since the day I was born, and dogs have always felt like big, goofy, furry toddlers — full of personality, joy, and chaos in the best way. I currently live in an anti‑pet apartment (tragic, I know), so I’m looking to fill that dog‑shaped hole in my heart by being the next best thing: your pup’s reliable walking and hiking buddy. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves long walks, trails, and exploring. Whether your dog is a tiny ball of energy or a large, gentle giant, I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, seniors, and puppies. I’m patient, confident, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s quirks. What I offer: Long walks or trail hikes for high‑energy pups Picture updates so you can see their adventures Flexible scheduling — I’m a teacher on summer break, so I’m wide open With a friendly, upbeat personality, your dog will warm up quickly If your dog needs exercise, company, or just someone who treats them like the lovable toddler they are, I’d love to help. Let’s get your pup out exploring and having fun. As a teacher on summer break, pet care fits naturally and easily into my weekly routine. I’m active every day, walking, hiking, or spending time outdoors, so adding a dog to that rhythm feels like the most joyful part of my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility, which means I can plan walks around your dog’s needs rather than squeezing them into a tight window. (ADDITION: Until May 30th, I can only walk dogs on weekends because of my teaching and coaching schedule) Since I live in an anti‑pet apartment, all of my care happens in your home or out on the trail. I treat every dog like the big furry toddler they are, with patience, structure, and a lot of enthusiasm. Here’s what my care typically looks like: Consistent routines: I follow your feeding, walking, and potty schedule exactly as you prefer. Active outings: long walks or trail hikes for dogs who need to burn energy, or gentle strolls for seniors. Safety first: secure leashing, checking gear, watching for heat, and keeping a close eye on body language. Clean and respectful home care: wiping paws, refreshing water, tidying up any messes, and leaving your home exactly as I found it. Photo updates: I send regular pictures so you can see your pup’s adventures and feel connected while you’re away. Calm companionship: whether your dog is tiny and energetic or large and mellow, I match their vibe and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m free all summer, I can offer flexible scheduling, longer walks, and extra attention, especially for dogs who thrive on activity and routine.
About: I worked at a reputable kennel for a year in cat and dog walking, grooming, basic training, and health. I've also worked with many other pets throughout my life. I currently work mornings and I may have some small events certain days, but I am willing to work around it. Bookings at least three days in advance will be the only ones I accept unless stated otherwise. I cannot bring dogs or cats back to my home due to allergies of family members, but I can do anything outside my home or in yours. Whatever I can do to keep your pets happy is my pleasure.

“Haley was excellent with my senior doggo who has health issues. She was very thoughtful, detail-oriented and professional. I felt completely at ease with her in my home caring for the being I love the most. She gave thorough feedback on the visit which was great.”
About: Hello, consider me your pets new best friend! Growing up, since day 1, I have had 3 dogs and a slew of kittens. I have experience with many many animals and have given medicinal needs to dogs and cats both! I have been tending to animals since before I can remember and I know I can be a reliable resource for your beloved pet(s). 💗 I have 2 cats currently of my own named Charlie and Sammy, they're twins! I've also grown up with dogs, never lived without them til my 20's. So needless to say, I am an animal lover and advocate and will treat them with the best care they deserve! My own cats: I play with them all the time and make sure they're fed well with lots of water! They also get cuddles on the daily! My clients pets (dogs and/or cats!): I make sure all their animals have food and water! I love to run outside with the dogs and get all their energies out, and play with the cats to get them through the zoomies!

“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.”
“Heather was great! Kept me informed on how my dog Cody was doing and sent pics of him with her dogs. Cody seemed to love her Lab. Lots of room to run in her fenced in back yard. Will definitely use her again!”
“Alexsys took great care of both of my dogs. She was very communicative through the week she had them. She was very accommodating and understanding to my dogs needs. I would highly recommend her!”

“Gabby is amazing! She accommodated our baby super last minute and saved a very important trip for our family. She’s extremely responsive, keeps you updated with plenty of photos and messages, and it’s very obvious that her entire family is full of animal lovers. They spoiled our big rambunctious Cane Corso puppy more than we could have wished for in a sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely use again! Thank you, Gabby and family!”
“Lori was amazing and the pup was well taken care of, it was great knowing our pup was in good hands, we got updates through out the weekend, would recommend Lori to EVERYONE! :)”
“Whitney was incredible good with my little one. She took care of him very well when I was sick. And Tokyo had a great time with her dog Feather. She sent me lots of pictures and lmk all the time of how was my dog, and I appreciate that very much. Thank you Whitney!!!”
“Such a great experience from the meet and greet to picking up our two pups at the end of their stay. Katherine’s knowledge, experience and love for animals was seen clearly through all parts of the process. She is very responsive and getting daily pictures during their stay was just the best! Her comfy indoor space and beautiful outdoor spaces provide a great environment for whatever your pup needs, from zoomies to cuddles. Knowing Chipper and Dutchess were being cared for and loved on by Katherine put our minds at ease and helped us fully enjoy our time away. We will absolutely book again!”
“Desirae was absolutely wonderful and treated our pup like family. Her and her family are super sweet and she would send us pictures and keep us updated on how our girl was doing. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter since we adopted her. It was hard leaving her for the weekend, but it helped knowing that she was on good hands. Thank you so much Desirae!”
“Lauren provided excellent care for Bryce. She regularly sent photos and videos of him throughout his stay with her. Her yard is large and fenced in so plenty of space for your pup to zoom around. High recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
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.
“Millie had a great time. Pamela was very communicative and was understanding when my travel plans changed. Received photos and videos the whole time I was gone. Highly recommend!”
“Carrie was a life saver. Our original sitter cancelled on us at the last minute and Carrie took Ranger with no problem. He had the BEST time playing with all the other dogs and I know he was loved on. Ranger became ill while in her care (NO fault of anything at her house—just a fluke) and Carrie communicated with us and took great care of Ranger, maybe even spoiled him ;-). We would send Ranger to her again in a heartbeat. Very much recommend!!”
About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!
About: I’ve had two dogs over the past 10 years that I have assisted in taking care of at my home. My families second dog passed away recently and the house is now empty of pets. As a dog-loving individual I would love to be able to watch over others’ pets and provide the proper care for them. I’m currently in the process of working part time with the city of Winchester’s summer camp for kids. I would be working during the week days and off all weekends. I have a large yard in a subdivided neighborhood that is great for taking walks. My home currently doesn’t have any pets living there. There are plenty of dog beds and furniture that is acceptable for pets to relax and sleep on. It is a three story home with 2 sets of stairs in it.
