“Michelle took such good care of our baby. She sent pics, reassuring us he was in good hands. Michelle treated Jax like her own pet. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby.”
“We were very happy with the care that Jennifer gave to our dog. This was our first experience leaving our dog so we were nervous but Jennifer made us feel comfortable and sent pictures each day. Jennifer is very experienced and well trained in dealing with different types of dogs.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Carina is amazing. Highly recommend! Our two dogs are young and energetic. They welcomed our doggies like new additions to their family. She sent many photos of them interacting with family and resting and chilling out. They were clearly happy. She’s on a country property and well worth the trip off the beaten path. 10out of 10!”
“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!”
“Lorena did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of state for 6 days. Ellie looked happy in the photos and made herself at home. We definitely recommend Lorena and would use her services again.”
“Milo had a great time! I got so many pictures and videos throughout the day and could tell he was truly in good hands. He is absolutely exhausted from playing all day!”
“We contacted Kelsi at the last minute to ask if she could watch our dog and she responded immediately with a yes. She asked if there was anything our dog could not have which was very thoughtful. As soon as we got to her house, our dog immediately loved her and started playing with her dog. She sent us pics to show us how much fun she was having. Our dog played so hard, she was exhausted when we picked her up the next day. She has slept all day which means she had a fun time. Definitely will be using again.”
“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.”
“Sarah and Jacob are so great! Duncan loves going to their house. Sarah and Jacob are so reliable and communication with them is seamless. We will always have Sarah and Jacob watch our pup.”
“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!”
“Jocelyn is great with our two very nervous doggies. She is a great communicator and she is on top of all the needs of our doggies. She has been great on dog walks and for boarding!. We feel that she loves our boys as much as we do and have peace of mind that they are in great hands. Highly recommend her to take care and watch your fur babies!”
“Ashley T. was terrific! With many years of experience, this mild-mannered, petite yet confident dog sitter immediately knew how to care for and manage my Giant Pyrenees Doodle- all 75 pounds of him. I felt good about leaving my huge fur baby with her for my out of town trip. During my dog's stay, Ashley periodically sent photos and updates. This was most comforting and I was able to enjoy my long needed trip. I highly recommend Ashley T. and will hire her again and again.”
“David and Tiffany were wonderful with Ollie. I also appreciated how quick and responsive they were whenever we were communicating. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“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 had such a great experience boarding our dog with Yeny and Ray. They were incredibly caring and attentive from start to finish. Pedro felt right at home — they sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. When we picked our dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving family to care for their dog! 🐾💛”
“Rebecca was awesome and gave me updates while I was away for a 3 day trip. Took great care of Bandit and easily warmed up to her ! Will rebook again soon ! Thank you !🙏”

“Alice is a top notch sitter. This is my third time having her check in on my cats while we're away. She always takes great care of my pets. Appreciate the info, and photos she sends. Thank you, Alice!”
“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”

“So thankful for Emmersyn! She did a wonderful job and I am so thankful for all her help. She truly saved our Christmas as I would have been worried about my cat without her dropping in on him : )”
“Rochelle watched our senior cat, Callie, at our home while we were on vacation. She was extremely reliable and trustworthy—sending us daily pictures, videos, and updates. It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.”
“Matisa U was very friendly and took extreme care of our fur baby. She communicated well and sent pictures of Hazel during our time away from her.

Also don’t mind light clean up if they make a mess while you are gone. My dogs are kind of crazy so I understand messes happen!

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.

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: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was the age of six and I have a great way and love with them . My schedule varies weekly as I have a college retention student job and I get off pretty late but I’m very flexible. I can always work around getting your pet taken care of! I care for them with love and with their necessities as needed on a daily bases whether it’s taking them out for a walk twice a day or feeding them twice a day as well or any extra care like giving them their meds as needed as well.
About: Please ask to see my Trusted HouseSitter profile for additional reviews and information! I provide pet care in Richmond and Charlottesville and the surrounding areas, though I am also happy to travel to other states with advanced notice. I have a breadth of experience caring for my former pets and my home, as well as house and pet sitting for friends and for my clients. I grew up on a farm and cared for goats, horses, cows, dogs, cats, sheep, and poultry. I make an excellent house/petsitter due to my experience with and love for animals and my tidy and loving personality! ** I charge $45 / night for 1-6 night house stays, but have a sliding scale for longer sits (negotiable at the time of request). I am open to traveling farther distances for 1+ week sits. I am attending VCU for my MSW M-F from 8-4, so I have limited availability for midday potty breaks/check-ins during the week, but I have open availability most evenings and weekends. For boarding requests, my partner works from my home and is available to offer potty breaks/check-ins for pets while I’m at school. I’m happy with staying overnight for housesitting or sharing my home for boarding! I have the utmost care and respect for my clients pets and homes and treat them as if they were my own. I make sure to communicate expectations as best as possible to make sure we’re all on the same page.
About: I been around dogs and cats my whole life. I been housesitting for family and friends for the last 5-6years. My grandmother’s pets are on a strict schedule, and diet therefore I understand strict diet. I’ve worked on a farm so I have experience with farm animals, small pets, and some exotic animals. In the last two years, I’ve had two sets of puppies so I know what it takes to care of puppies. My Roxy was 13 year old when we had to put her down from old age, so I know what it takes to care for a senior dog. I’m currently not working, therefore I have plenty of time to cuddle, play and care with your pets. I can send pictures and/or videos thought your vacation for peace of mind! I like taking care of pets in their own house to make them feel as safe as possible. I will follow any rules or instructions you have for your house and pets.
About: I believe that all fur babies deserve to be spoiled just as I spoil my own! I love to give treats and usually have dog treats with me anywhere I go. I do have a full time job but I have a very flexible schedule and work from home. I begin my visits as early as 630 am and can do visits until 10pm in the evening. I work from home so I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have open availability on the weekends. I know the stress being away from my furbaby in the past I couldn't relax because I worried about her safety the whole time I was gone. Which is why I keep you in the loop about your pet when they are in my care, you won't have to hunt me down to make sure they are having fun. We make sure that we practice safe departures so that your dog is safe and

“Michelle took such good care of our baby. She sent pics, reassuring us he was in good hands. Michelle treated Jax like her own pet. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby.”
“We were very happy with the care that Jennifer gave to our dog. This was our first experience leaving our dog so we were nervous but Jennifer made us feel comfortable and sent pictures each day. Jennifer is very experienced and well trained in dealing with different types of dogs.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Carina is amazing. Highly recommend! Our two dogs are young and energetic. They welcomed our doggies like new additions to their family. She sent many photos of them interacting with family and resting and chilling out. They were clearly happy. She’s on a country property and well worth the trip off the beaten path. 10out of 10!”
“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!”
“Lorena did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of state for 6 days. Ellie looked happy in the photos and made herself at home. We definitely recommend Lorena and would use her services again.”
“Milo had a great time! I got so many pictures and videos throughout the day and could tell he was truly in good hands. He is absolutely exhausted from playing all day!”
“We contacted Kelsi at the last minute to ask if she could watch our dog and she responded immediately with a yes. She asked if there was anything our dog could not have which was very thoughtful. As soon as we got to her house, our dog immediately loved her and started playing with her dog. She sent us pics to show us how much fun she was having. Our dog played so hard, she was exhausted when we picked her up the next day. She has slept all day which means she had a fun time. Definitely will be using again.”
“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.”
“Sarah and Jacob are so great! Duncan loves going to their house. Sarah and Jacob are so reliable and communication with them is seamless. We will always have Sarah and Jacob watch our pup.”
“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!”
“Jocelyn is great with our two very nervous doggies. She is a great communicator and she is on top of all the needs of our doggies. She has been great on dog walks and for boarding!. We feel that she loves our boys as much as we do and have peace of mind that they are in great hands. Highly recommend her to take care and watch your fur babies!”
“Ashley T. was terrific! With many years of experience, this mild-mannered, petite yet confident dog sitter immediately knew how to care for and manage my Giant Pyrenees Doodle- all 75 pounds of him. I felt good about leaving my huge fur baby with her for my out of town trip. During my dog's stay, Ashley periodically sent photos and updates. This was most comforting and I was able to enjoy my long needed trip. I highly recommend Ashley T. and will hire her again and again.”
“David and Tiffany were wonderful with Ollie. I also appreciated how quick and responsive they were whenever we were communicating. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“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 had such a great experience boarding our dog with Yeny and Ray. They were incredibly caring and attentive from start to finish. Pedro felt right at home — they sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. When we picked our dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving family to care for their dog! 🐾💛”
