“My dogs absolutely love their time with Aunt Leslie. They settle in quickly as if it hasn't been a couple months since the last stay. I enjoyed my time away without any concerns about the pups best they were under Leslie's care and supervision.”
“Richard and his family were the perfect fit for our dog, Honey! Honey is a 15 year old, small dog who has recently gone deaf. She struggles with other dogs and I was having a hard time finding someone who would only take one dog at a time. Then I found Richard! Honey felt right at home with them. I loved the picture and video updates each night. She returned home happy, healthy and ready to play. Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet old girl!”
“Jaime and Mike took great care of my dog over an extended vacation. Jaime provided pictures of my dog at different times of the day doing different things and provided updates of how he was doing. She gave my husband and I peace of mind as we were far away and had minimal cell service. We were very happy with the care that our dog received while we were out of town.”
“This was the most effortless experience I have ever had in having someone take care of my two dogs. From the beginning request to the dropping off of my dogs back home, it was so over the top pleasant and easy. I can’t wait to have Chaoran and her family take care of my dogs again!!”
“Stacie is truly amazing!!! Frequently sent pictures and updates during Daisy’s stay which put my mind at ease having been so far away. Daisy was very well cared for and came home exhausted from all the fun she had. Five stars isn’t enough!”
“Maria and her son were excellent companions for Moxie this weekend — super responsive and sent plenty of updates of our dog enjoying the poolside. We will be back again soon!”
“This is the second time Joanna is taking care of my Maltese dog, it was an amazing experience with such careful attention. She sent me constant updates and also is helping to train her while sitting my dog. It is so nice to have someone to trust to take care of our dog when needed. I am already booking the next time. Awesome experience!!!”
“Luke had a relaxing weekend with Ali and her family. He was so welcomed, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m glad he was able to roam freely throughout the house just like he does at home.”
About: I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, including adopted and rescue animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have special experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets. I adopted a very elderly, sick dog who required frequent medication and attentive daily care, and I also cared for my cat through medical needs that required consistent medication. I’m currently a devoted dog mom to Graci, a two-year-old Labrador, and a proud grandmom to Zoey, a two-year-old mini Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix. Caring for animals has given me hands-on experience with walks, feeding routines, playtime, medication schedules, close supervision and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that rescue animals and senior pets may need additional patience, consistency and time to build trust. I’m also a retired federal professional known for being dependable, observant and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and your home—is a very personal decision. I will follow your instructions carefully, communicate consistently and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Important Booking Policies & Rates 🐾 Please review my standard hours and specialized rates before booking: * Extended Daycare Policy: My standard daycare rate covers up to 10 hours of care. Any daycare stay that exceeds 10 hours will automatically be upgraded to my Boarding Rate for that day. * Puppy Care Fee: Because puppies require extra attention, frequent potty breaks, and constant supervision, a +$15 puppy fee applies per day/visit for any dog under 1 year old. This fee applies to all Daycare, Boarding, and Dog Walking requests. Note: Rover automatically calculates the puppy rate for some services, but if it doesn't apply correctly to your request, I will manually modify the total to reflect these policies before finalizing the booking. Thank you for understanding! “Continuing my professional development” sounds more natural and polished than “pursuing additional courses.” I’m currently taking a professional break while continuing my professional development, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pet with attentive, loving care. I’m home much of the day and can easily accommodate feeding, playtime, medication, cuddles, and your pet’s normal routine. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. I have one friendly Labrador who gets along well with other dogs and can be crated or kept separately if needed. My neighborhood is great for safe, leashed walks, and I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines.
“Ashley (and her husband) is an amazing pet sitter! We chose Ashley because she and her husband have done a great deal with feral cats and in rescuing them so we knew immediately that they are compassionate and caring people. They took great care of our cat and he was also able to spend time with Ashley's dog Nike. We have already booked our next sitting dates!”
“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“Beth was wonderful with our puppy. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the stay without being overwhelming, which we really appreciated. She was clearly prepared and already had everything she needed to provide great care, which made boarding prep so easy and stress-free for us. Her yard is spacious and perfect for dogs to play safely. She even sent him home with the sweetest little thank-you gift. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, attentive care.”
“Sheetal and her family provided excellent care for our Bella. She sent wonderful photos throughout Bella’s stay and gave her a lot of love and attention. I highly recommend trusting Sheetal with your fur baby.”
“Zahra and her family did an excellent job looking after my little guy. Super responsive and they have an amazing space for you doggies to run around in. Their home was clean, they sat down with me to discuss Xerxes’ needs and made sure to check in when he was with them. I have to also note that she showed a tremendous amount of patience and flexibility when I had a delayed flight from my trip. Would definitely entrust my little guys care to them again.”
“I absolutely loved her. She took such great care of our fur baby. My dog was happy on return. I was also sent pictures everyday. You and your dog will be happy here.”
“From the moment I met Lydia and her dog, I knew my baby was going to be in great hands. She kept me updated of his doings throughout the day and was very loving when he got scared during 4th of July fireworks. I would 100% rebook with her for future services.”
“Great experience boarding my dog with this family! I met up with them prior to boarding and after talking with them, I could tell this was going to be a great match! My dog is high energy and it’s really important for me to know that she will have fun while she’s staying somewhere. This family understood this and really went above and beyond to give me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell from the photos and videos that my pup was cared for the way I would care for her. I highly recommend and will be using them again myself in the future.”
“This was Frank’s first time staying with Noelle, and he made himself right at home. I think this is because she is a gentle, loving person. She was great about updating me as well. Very satisfied!”
“Our fur baby, Oscar was well taken care of by Eun. He looked like he also had a great time there through videos and pictures she sent me. It was Oscar’s first stay there and he was only suppose to stay for the day but due to family situation, he ended up staying overnight. It was a last minute request and I very much appreciated Eun’s flexibility for taking him over night.”

About: I have had a love for pets since I was a child. I have a deep empathy for them and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, each has their own quirks and I love that. Makes each pet unique. I’m currently working full time Tuesday’s through Thursday’s (6am - 5pm.) I am more open to availability of late drop-in visits & walks in the evenings. I have two dogs at my home so I’m no stranger to managing multiple dogs at once. I can easily crate your dog if needed and offer to keep up with their training if that’s something you may be interested in.
“My wife and I had separate last minute week long trips. Kelly was gracious enough to watch over our cats while we were gone. She was able to stop by beforehand to get an idea of how our cats operate and what their schedules are. She constantly kept us updated with how they were doing and the work she did while at the house. Very much recommend if you’re looking for an awesome Rover!”
“Words do not describe how AMAZING Sughra is with our fluffy feline!! We are just back from an 11-day journey overseas, and I could not be more pleased with her care for our boy, and her regular (and surprise) communications throughout our time away. I had a good feeling when I met her prior to our trip. She just seemed very genuine and attentive and dependable. But she went above and beyond in so many ways, I cannot begin to thank her enough for the peace of mind I had while we were gone for our cat and for our home. She exceeded every hope and expectation I had by a mile!! Our cat adores her....maybe more than he likes me!! I wholeheartedly recommend her, and I will definitely reach out to her again when we go out of town. Thank You, Sughra!!”
“Working with Danielle was fantastic! We are so grateful that she accepted our request to care for our young kitty while we were out of town. Regarding pet care, Danielle is certainly the perfect blend of experience and kindness, giving us confidence that she knows well both how to care for our pet and how to make his visit terrific. Danielle certainly exceeded our expectations on both fronts, and for that we are appreciative. We look forward to working with her again!”
About: I have experience caring for cats and understand that each one has their own personality and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or cautious cats and enjoy giving affectionate cats plenty of attention and playtime. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and following each cat’s normal routine. Most importantly, I respect their space and let them warm up to me at their own pace so they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away
About: Rescue cats have had my heart for years! I understand that every cat has a unique personality—whether playful and social or shy and cautious—and I give them the patience and gentle attention they need to feel safe. I also have experience caring for senior cats and giving medication, so I’m comfortable providing extra care when needed.
“We hired Alexandra for drop-ins for our cat and she was great! At our first meeting she immediately was sitting on the floor giving our cat the affection he was requesting, and he was so happy. While we were gone she gave him all the cuddles he needed (we could tell by his behavior when we returned) and she followed the instructions we left. She always responded to messages quickly and communicated clearly. Definitely recommend.”
“Alana took care of my cat with no issues and he was more than happy to receive the visits. She even adapted to a quick change of plan which was great! Will definitely ask her again for cat sitting.”
“Christi was absolutely amazing taking care of our little Minji! This was our first time using a pet sitter and we were hesitant but Christi dissolved any of our worries. Not only was she super attentive and sweet to our little kitty, she also sent us detailed updates each day with some of the cutest pictures we have ever had of Minji. Christi will forever be our go-to and she should be yours too!”
“Zachary checked in our two kitties while we were away for a week. He was super responsive and sent some great pictures of both - one of which is almost always hiding! He confidently was able to administer anxiety meds and was even able to go over for an emergency visit to check on one of the automatic feeders when it went offline. I felt SO good leaving them in the care of Zachary and will definitely be using him in the future!”
“Ella does a great job taking care of our three kitties, 2 of which require medication twice a day. Knowing that she is there gives us peace of mind that they will be well cared for.”

“Thank you, Ellen! Our pup Cici had and awesome time. She usually doesn't eat when she is at a sitter for the first time. So, we knew she felt safe and at home when she ate while she was there. We loved all the photos, and we could tell she had fun because she slept like a puppy when she came home. We will definitely see you again!”
“Taylor is a wonderful dog sitter who has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is incredibly personable and treats my dog, Wynter, like family. Wynter has become best friends with Taylor's dog, Stuffy, and her bagel, forming a delightful trio. Taylor's loving and attentive care has made every experience stress-free for both me and my dog. It's evident that she has a genuine love for animals, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and reliable pet sitter.”
“My pups have done daycare with Carolina a few times now and it's been a great experience. Appreciate the convenience of pickup/dropoff transportation service with my busy work schedule and long work commute. Thanks Carolina!”
“Yang took amazing care of Ranger. She sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was at work. She was clearly attentive to his comfort and routine. She also accommodated my early work schedule, which I truly appreciated. Ranger came home calm and happy each day. I would absolutely book with Yang again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful care.”
“Our pups had a wonderful time with Leslie. I knew they would when we did a meet-n-greet. She is a loving dog person and they knew it right away. Her home is beautiful and accommodates dogs - lots of toys, blanket to snuggle in or rest next to Leslie on sofa. Backyard is big and fenced in - a doggies dream backyard. Leslie sent fun pictures and kept us up-to-date on their potty breaks. She walked the pups on a walking trails near her home which my dogs loved. Hopefully next time they will get to see the Canadian geese which visit the local pond regularly. We are so excited that Leslie has started Rover sitting — she is a gem and we are already signing up for another daycare sitting. 🙏🐾❤️”

About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in.

I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.

“Zachary was great. I've always uses my best friend to care for my pup, but she moved so I've been on the hunt for a good dog walker/sitter.

About: Nice to meet you! I’m a college student at JMU and have taken care of different animals all my life, and often get asked by family and friends to pet sit-caring from animals as small as hamsters to larger dogs like german shepherds. I am very used to walking large dogs, as I have grown up with german shepherds all my life, and I am very used to taking care of animals with disabilities or special dietary needs. For example, my childhood dog had a pancreatic disorder where I fed her a special diet and am accustomed to carefully following directions and making sure everyone is safe and healthy. I absolutely love cats as well, I have a cat named Moss who is very very spoiled and loved. I am a very clean and responsible person who can be trusted to watch over your loved one and home. 🩵I am offering discounted rates for clients looking for daily recurring dog walks. (For example: 1 walk a day five days a week, but can be more than 1 ofcourse depending on your needs) I understand the importance of dogs getting their daily exercise in and want to be helpful for someone who’s understandably on the fence about scheduling something that can be a costly service. Please feel free to message me about getting this set up if you’re interested, I want to help out anyone I can.🩵 Some things that will be firmly and vehemently followed in my care: -Doors will be verified locked every time I leave, I understand how important it is to keep the home secure and your pet safe. -Your pet will NOT be lost under my care (I have seen the horror stories as well and can’t even fully fathom how awful that would be to experience) -I will follow housekeeping tasks requested by the home owner -I will strictly follow both household and pet care guidelines instructed by the owner. Thank you so much for your time! 🩵 I am a college student home for the summer so I am very available, please don’t hesitate in reaching out so we can coordinate a schedule! :) I will care for the pets and home with the upmost amount of care and respect. Im very concerned about making sure the pet is comfortable and safe at all times, and keeping the home very clean. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone to take care of your loved ones and home, and I want to reassure you that I am very responsible, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will follow any specific instructions you provide and am happy to give regular updates, whether that’s photos, messages, or calls, to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, and your home will be left just as you found it. I'm here to make your time away as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. :)

“This was the most effortless experience I have ever had in having someone take care of my two dogs. From the beginning request to the dropping off of my dogs back home, it was so over the top pleasant and easy. I can’t wait to have Chaoran and her family take care of my dogs again!!”
“Stacie is truly amazing!!! Frequently sent pictures and updates during Daisy’s stay which put my mind at ease having been so far away. Daisy was very well cared for and came home exhausted from all the fun she had. Five stars isn’t enough!”
“Maria and her son were excellent companions for Moxie this weekend — super responsive and sent plenty of updates of our dog enjoying the poolside. We will be back again soon!”
“I absolutely loved her. She took such great care of our fur baby. My dog was happy on return. I was also sent pictures everyday. You and your dog will be happy here.”
“Great experience boarding my dog with this family! I met up with them prior to boarding and after talking with them, I could tell this was going to be a great match! My dog is high energy and it’s really important for me to know that she will have fun while she’s staying somewhere. This family understood this and really went above and beyond to give me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell from the photos and videos that my pup was cared for the way I would care for her. I highly recommend and will be using them again myself in the future.”
“Jill was an incredible sitter for our week-long trip with Muffin. She kept us updated daily with sweet photos and messages, and even hopped on FaceTime with us twice so we could see him and know he was doing well — that kind of communication made being away so much easier. What really stood out was how she handled an unexpected situation during our trip. Without hesitation, she made sure Muffin got the care he needed and stayed by his side the whole time, going well above and beyond what we ever expected from a sitter. Her calm, caring, and responsible approach gave us total peace of mind. We can't recommend Jill enough — she's attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Beth is one of the best. Been using River for years and always seek Beth for day or overnight stays. She communicates clearly and promptly every time. My pup is always excited to get there and reluctant to leave.”
“So glad we found Chaimae! I accidentally booked too short of a stay for our pets but she was very accommodating and extended our booking until we got back home! It was great having peace of mind that our pets were safe, secure and living their best life while we were away! 😁”
“Danielle was amazing! Very communicative and sent tons of pictures/videos. Kai’lo had a blast with all his new friends and was even very sad when he got picked up. Thank you for taking such great care of him! Will definitely continue booking with her.”
“Jim was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! Jim took care of our doggies for a week and he communicated everyday, several times a day letting us know how well they were doing, and he took them on plenty of walks. Would definitely book him again and I know our dogs would love that as well.”
“Tracie was able to watch Flurry at the last minute. She was super responsive, sent us photos and videos, and kept us up to date while he was with her. Her family made Flurry feel at home and we knew he was in great hands. Highly recommend and we will use her again!”
“This was the first time we left our dog, Pheebs, with a pet sitter, and while we were worried at first, Corey and his fantastic dog skills put us at ease very quickly! Pheebs is typically a nervous dog, but Corey was able to acclimate her to the new environment incredibly quickly. We also appreciated the photos Corey sent us throughout her stay, and she looked so happy in each one! While she was anxious when she first met Corey, by the time we picked her up she loved him! We definitely recommend Corey - Pheebs came back to us happy, healthy, and with new friends!”
“I am glad I could find Raji. She took care of Buster like her own kid, shared many pictures and videos while he was with her. I am so happy that Buster is in good moods after coming home. I am looking forward to put him with Raji if she is available during Labor Day. Thank you Raji. ????”
“Hayleigh was so calm with our big boy! She send us photos of his stay. She even helped me with my next booking! This is such a huge relief for us to trust someone to care for our senior Cane Corso. Thanks Hayleigh! We'll see you soon.”
“This was our first time using Rachel’s services and we really enjoyed our experience! She handled our two pups perfectly and they came home exhausted ? we will b using her again in the future! Thank you so much for taking great care of our pups ??❤️❤️”
“Thank you Dana for taking such great care of Maya during her lengthy stay with you! Your constant communication and pics gave us peace of mind knowing Maya was doing great, but no surprise since you are the Dog Whisperer!!”
