“Casey is so nice and took really good care of my two dogs who can be a handful at times. She sent me adorable photos during their stay!! We will be booking her for future stays as well!”
“Our family was going through a really tough time and Nadia came to our rescue! She treated our puppy like her baby and provided updates and pictures multiple times a day which made us feel so safe and secure. She even made scarves and necklaces for our sweet pup and made her feel like a princess. We had an issue come up where we needed to schedule extra days and she was so kind and accommodating. Our puppy was so sad to leave her. I’d recommend Nadia to anybody and everybody and I can’t wait to be able to book with her again in the future. She’s now my puppy’s godmother😅 and she’ll always be my go-to.”
“Amy was so great with our girls!!! This was our first time leaving them for vacation and using Rover. My girls were so comfortable and loved every minute of their own vacation!!! Highly recommend!!”
“Kathryn was a WONDERFUL pet sitter for our little English bulldog, Daisy. She kept in touch with us and sent updates. We could tell Daisy really enjoyed her stay! Thank you, Kathryn!!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with our Bertie! They took care of our dog for two days and treated him like their own. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. They consistently kept us updated with videos and photos, which meant so much to us. Seeing Coco happy, comfortable, and well cared for made it easy to relax while we were away. Communication was excellent the entire time — quick responses, thoughtful updates, and genuine care. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave our pet and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Jocelyn was very responsive, understanding and patient. My pup is nervous and quirky and she made me feel comfortable leaving him at an unfamiliar place for several days!”
“They were excellent in taking care of my dog. They took her on walks and sent photos throughout the day so I could see how she was doing. They are reliable sitters and I look to utilize their services again.”
“Sofia kept me posted on what and how my dog was doing, Althea, a 4 year old Labradoodle (who looks like a chocolate lab) Althea was in great shape and happy when I picked her up. I would definitely use Sophie again, and highly recommend her!”
“I will never have anybody else watch my 17 yo. Deb was wonderful in every way imaginable. This is someone you want to be friends with. Don’t hesitate to leave your pet with her, there’s no reason to look anywhere else. Thanks so much, Peggy Chris & Toby Bella”
“Jani and Paul treated Leo like he was part of the family. He received so much attention and love, I’m not sure he wanted to leave! Thank you so much for giving Leo such wonderful care.”
About: Hi there! My name is Catherine. I have grown up with dogs in my house and have always had a passion for animals. I always want to make sure your furry family members feel comfortable and loved while you’re away! I am reliable and make sure to communicate clearly when a problem arises, or just to send pictures because I know you miss your pet. I love going for walks around my neighborhood and make sure to give plenty of cuddles! I am in online school full-time, so I can your pet my full attention during the day. I am very active during the day and am never in the same spot twice, so there will be lots of activity if your dog needs it. I live in a gated community and can accommodate crated dogs. I also do not mind your dog being on the furniture! I do not currently own a pets and I live in a smoke-free household.
“Laura was so accommodating. My other sitter canceled the morning of and Laura was able to watch my pup the same day. She even came home from work during lunch to meet at my scheduled pickup time. She sent lots of pics during Rocky’s stay and even gave him a mini report card so I could see how he did. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Hillary was great! We loved the numerous photos she sent throughout the day and our puppy, Wriggly loved being there. I could tell by how tired Wriggly was when we picked him up that Hillary had given him lots of play time and he wasn't cooped up all day.”
“Eman is the best! We always leave our Yorkie Poo with her and never worry for a second. She’s super reliable, caring, and Simmi always has the best time. It’s clear she loves what she does, and it shows in how happy and relaxed our fur baby is every time we pick her up. Highly recommend!!!💕💕”
“Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!”
“Ava (as a host) and her space (big back yard) were the perfect match for our Australian Shepherd (Ridge)! She was super responsive, sent plenty of picture/video updates, & our pup LOVED his time there. We will definitely be booking Ava again when we go on trips and need someone to watch Ridge 😊”
“Svitlana was SO sweet and very patient with our shy boy, Enzo. She was very accommodating and easy to work with. Enzo is usually extremely reserved with new people, but it was clear that he immediately trusted her and felt comfortable with her. She was great with sending pictures of Enzo and keeping us updated. We would love to use her again in the future!”
“Danielle watched our mini-dachshund for a week at her home and we could not have asked for a better experience. Our pup can be a bit high maintenance, but she took it all in stride and gave her excellent care the entire time. Her communication was fantastic too, with regular updates that put us at ease while we were away. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog. Highly recommend and would absolutely book her again”

“Casey took very good care of Porky while we were out of town on our trip. She was accommodating to him and his needs. She updated us with pictures regularly and we felt great knowing he was being cared for a loved! Without a doubt Casey is our Go-To anytime we need someone trustworthy and attentive to watch our kitty Porky. Thanks Casey!”
“I was worried about my cat since her brother had recently passed and I had to leave for a week. Tyler spent time with her to make sure she wasn't too lonely. It was very nice to not have to worry about her while I was away! Most cat sitters do not stay for the 30 min, but Tyler made sure she was well taken care of. :)”
“Tiffanie was amazing with our dog, Loki. She took him for walks and gave him so much love, he probably didn’t even realize we were gone. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”
“Eman is wonderful! It was obvious from the beginning how much love and care she has for our fur baby! And our Cookie loved her immediately! I highly recommend Eman and will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve had my own cat for 8 years who’s truly my best friend, and now I’m also raising a wild little kitten who keeps me on my toes.

I love giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve so they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

“This was our first time using Emily for any pet care needs. She took care of our cat while we were away and we were very pleased. She was very communicative about timing, didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions and sent lots of pictures. Best of all, we came home to a very happy and relaxed cat (which isn’t always the case)!! We will, most certainly, be contacting Emily again!”

“I was desperate to get a dog sitter when we were in town visiting with our daughter and Casey came through for us! The doggies loved her and she wore them out. :) highly recommend!”
“Crystal did a great job caring for our two dogs Max and Cody. She and her family obviously loved dogs and our two took to her immediately. Her place was great and the dogs were able to spend time outdoors. She gave us a worry free day. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve had a dog my entire life except for a few very lonely months in 2020 after I lost the love of my life, Romey, the naughtiest lab with the best sense of humor. I grew up with labs (mostly ) but now have Gizmo, a labrodoodle , who will soon become BDE (best dog ever) if he can finally learn how to not jump like a kangaroo when he sees his dog friends. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. I’d walk, feed and love on my neighbors and friends pets. I hope I will be the one you call and who you can trust with your furry BFF. Whether you have a long day at work or a weekend vacation, I’ll be there for you! I work part time on the weekends up on the mountain and have lots of time during the week to help out with your dog! I have a fenced in play area in my back yard and crates, dog beds and a designated “dog room” where your pet can relax in solitude or with Gizmo!
About: Lifelong dog owner with decades of experience caring for dogs both big and small. I work from home and am able to provide maximum companionship and plenty of exercise. Boarders or daycare get 2-3 walks/day, dozens of photos, and lots of love of course! I provide toys, bowls, a dog bed, treats, poop bags and a backup leash. A tired dog is a good dog :) feel free to bring your pet’s crate if you’d like! I grew up with border collies and labs, then rescued my own dogs in adulthood. One of my rescues was a very sick 3-month old puppy that I raised, so I am well-versed with puppy care. I do not currently have pets living in the home, so your dogs will have the run of the place! I own my own home on a quiet circle street. My yard is an expansive quarter acre of grass with access to miles of mowed walking paths off my backyard. When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on a “Welcome Walk” to get acquainted in neutral outdoor space. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I look forward to taking care of your wonderful pets! I work from home, so I am flexible for drop-ins, last-minute needs, or regular walks, and can give your dog consistent companionship…and some fun of course! Rain or shine, I am happy to take them out. I provide a treats (if allowed), a dog bed, bowls, toys and backup leash (but I prefer you bring the leash your dog is familiar with!). Please feel free to bring a crate if you’d like to crate your dog! When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on “Welcome Walk” where we get acquainted in the great outdoors. This allows me to build our bond in neutral space with plenty of positive stimulation for the dogs. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I have used the clicker training method in the past, and do not believe in any form of domineering or physical correction. Your dog will have a stable experience here!
About: I have been a dog and cat owner/lover/advocate my whole life. I miss having my own pets so much so I pet sit during our travels and while we are home too! I’m a massage therapist and energy worker so animals LOVE my touch and calming presence. I’m very active and love long walks. I’m totally comfortable with large dogs. I have retired early so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to travel to pet sits. I tend to do pet sitting in Florida during the months of January and February. I love having dogs and cats in my home. There is a little river behind my house and the national forest and Sherando Lake Recreation Area is just beyond the river so there’s lots of space for long walks. Pets will get lots of loving care, tons of cuddles, and undivided attention while under my care and I will walk for as long and far as your dog (or cat) wants to.
“Jani & Paul were able to graciously accommodate my puppy for daycare on very short notice. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and will most definitely be booking again. The best!!!”
“Hillary took great care of our dog! She sent us photos to keep us updated throughout the day. She had a fenced in backyard for the dogs to play and also takes the dog on a walk!”
“Madison is great. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her care again. My Jaxson can be very nervous without his pet parents but she handled him like a pro and he did seem to enjoy his time with her.”
“Margaret was the perfect sitter for our little dog, Hattie. From the moment that we arrived to drop off Hattie, Margaret met us with a warm smile and put us right at ease that Hattie will be well taken care of. Margaret updated us with pictures over the afternoon, and when we came to pick up, Hattie was was in a great, happy mood. We have no complaints with the experience, and would gladly leave Hattie with Margaret again.”
“Another great week with Dana! Oakley loves playing with Red and her nephew. Oakley is also being socialized with cats which is a huge plus. Oakley is always happy to be dropped off and tired from all the fun when I pick him up.”
“Sue is great with Amos. She is also fast to respond when asked a question and to scheduling requests. We were nervous leaving Amos in someone else’s care, Sue quickly put us at ease and Amos enjoyed his first daycare with her!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years, pets are my passion! I am also a former Petshotel and Doggie Day Camp Manager for a national chain and have extensive experience handling dogs, cats, and small pets of all sizes and breeds. I am currently accepting small and medium sized dogs for in house day care and overnight stays. I specialize in small and delicate breed types, not usually suited for kenneling or vet boarding. All fur babies will be treated as family members while here! They can sit on the couch, sleep on the bed, and watch TV with us just like at home. Some larger "gentle giants" can be considered on a case by case basis, just reach out. I believe pets are family! All pets in my care are treated with loving and gentle guidance using only positive reinforcement. All dogs will remain on leash the entirety of their walk. We have a fenced in area off the back patio for bathroom breaks with wood chips as ground coverage. No grass of any kind for the safety of those pets with grass and skin allergies.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for years. I have a small dog myself. Her name is Willow and she is 18. She is sincerely my very best friend. If given the option, I would be with dogs over people. They bring me so much joy and laughter. I only work a few hours a day and have a very flexible schedule so I will be able to meet your pets routine needs. I am very flexible on taking care of your pets. If they are not good with my dog, I have options not to have her with me.
“Brooke is a fabulous person. Three couples descended on her with three dogs and she never batted an eye. There were updates and pictures during their stay. You are the best Brooke. Thank you.”

About: I have done pet sitting for many years, I have worked with multiple different types of animals many times. I love animals, can handle stressful situations, and know how to make responsable decisions regarding your home and beloved animals. I also will communicate effectively and be timely in my care of your pet. I work a job that has a flexible schedule, I do not have any prior commitments on weekends and any pet sitting jobs I book will become top priority. Pets should be treated with just as much respect as any person. Introducing yourself, acting calm and kindly, and also reading body cues and signs to make sure they remain comfortable at all times.
About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every pet. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need consistency, potty breaks, playtime, and basic routine reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra patience, medication support, or additional comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents always know their furry family members are happy and well cared for. I’m able to help out on Monday-Friday or Saturdays and Sundays. Let me know what fits your needs and I will be more then happy to accommodate! I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Especially in their own home. I do not accept boarding as my currently home is renting.
About: I absolutely love animals and have had them through out my entire life. I have experience from working at “Dogtopia” to “Home away from home, dog boarding”. I understand the importance of family and would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have experience providing care for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and monitoring health. I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals—I truly love being around them and caring for their unique needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, patient with puppies, and gentle with senior pets, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I have a very flexible routine as I am currently enrolled in online classes and work for myself. I am able to move around my schooling and work to whenever fits. When caring for pets, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Since I come to your home or take your pets out for walks and playtime, I make sure they stay in a familiar, low-stress environment. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, play, or cuddle time—so your pets feel secure and loved while you’re away. I also pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure they’re always safe and happy.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, pigs, peacocks. You name it. I’ve been a huge fan of animals since I can remember. I’m super active outside and love taking pups out on hikes or walks. My last dog had to take meds so I’m also extra sensitive to pups that may need more present care. I’ve dog sat and house sat for many years before and just recently decided to give rover a try. I’m also a photographer so pics of your sweet pea will be guaranteed! I’m a photographer so my schedule varies. Sometimes I’m on a shoot or at home editing. I work part time at a restaurant wed-Friday so am unavailable those evenings. I am generous with my love with pets if they want that. If they are shy I will absolutely listen to what they need and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I am clean and respectful of others’ space and strive to make sure your sweet pup gets the activities they deserve.
About: I grow up in a farm and that gave me large experience taking care of all kind of animals, I have had different kind of dogs breed as owner and care giver. Right now I have a 2 acres property where the dogs can run and play all day long. Im at home full time so I can take care of your dogs necessities. I'm patient, I like to play with them, and I like to treat them as my own dog. I consider dogs, cats or any other animal, not only as pets, they are part of our families and deserve care, love and respect. I can provide comfort, exercises, play time, rest time and bath if necessary. I also accept puppies or seniors. I can take care of your furry babies as long as you need it.

Any other days are welcome, as well as overnight in regards to available days I have a home to share, with 3 bedrooms and a couple bathrooms.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Animals are one of the most important things in my life and I know how important they are to their families. Pets are like kids and traditional boarding is never the first choice. Keeping your pet in it’s home where it is most comfortable and knowing it is getting the best care possible provides peace of mind, something money can’t buy. My goal is always to provide that peace of mind for a pets family while they are gone. Whether it is boarding, or having frequent around the clock care at your home for your pet, a simple personalized walk or check in during the day, we would do anything for our pets, and that is what I’m here for. I treat each and every animal as if it’s my own and know communication is the most important and keeping in touch and updates, even when not required, are always appreciated by a pets owner. I strive to become a familiar face for each pet so they are as happy and comfortable as possible and so each owner has a reliable and trustworthy source for any needs they may have for their pet. I work from home with my own schedule so I am extremely flexible in accommodating your pets needs and last minute requests to make your life easier! I take care of your pets like they are my own! I have pretty much done it all, and am happy to do it. I am very particular about who cared for my pets when I am away, and will treat yours with nothing less than I would expect for my own. I want them to be as comfortable as possible like you’re not even gone! Familiarity, comfortability, for pets and their owners is key.
About: I have had pets from day one. My family has had 4 cats, 2 dogs, hamsters, lizards, fish, and even a hedgehog!. I’m currently a Nursing student who’s past career was a veterinary technician. Caring for animals is my passion and I hope I get to meet your fur babies sometime and give them some extra love. I have experience with dogs with special needs as well as dogs who are in rehabilitation. I am up for any task that includes a precious pup or any other fur baby that needs me. I look forward to meeting you and you’re families and hopefully be honored to care for your lovely pets! I have a flexible schedule and am very accommodating. If there is a will there is a way is how I think of things, you can always count on me! Unfortunately at this time I do not do in home boarding as I have my own little circus of fur babies who are friendly but just don’t like change.

“Casey is so nice and took really good care of my two dogs who can be a handful at times. She sent me adorable photos during their stay!! We will be booking her for future stays as well!”
“Our family was going through a really tough time and Nadia came to our rescue! She treated our puppy like her baby and provided updates and pictures multiple times a day which made us feel so safe and secure. She even made scarves and necklaces for our sweet pup and made her feel like a princess. We had an issue come up where we needed to schedule extra days and she was so kind and accommodating. Our puppy was so sad to leave her. I’d recommend Nadia to anybody and everybody and I can’t wait to be able to book with her again in the future. She’s now my puppy’s godmother😅 and she’ll always be my go-to.”
“Amy was so great with our girls!!! This was our first time leaving them for vacation and using Rover. My girls were so comfortable and loved every minute of their own vacation!!! Highly recommend!!”
“Jocelyn was very responsive, understanding and patient. My pup is nervous and quirky and she made me feel comfortable leaving him at an unfamiliar place for several days!”
“They were excellent in taking care of my dog. They took her on walks and sent photos throughout the day so I could see how she was doing. They are reliable sitters and I look to utilize their services again.”
“Sofia kept me posted on what and how my dog was doing, Althea, a 4 year old Labradoodle (who looks like a chocolate lab) Althea was in great shape and happy when I picked her up. I would definitely use Sophie again, and highly recommend her!”
“I will never have anybody else watch my 17 yo. Deb was wonderful in every way imaginable. This is someone you want to be friends with. Don’t hesitate to leave your pet with her, there’s no reason to look anywhere else. Thanks so much, Peggy Chris & Toby Bella”
About: Hi there! My name is Catherine. I have grown up with dogs in my house and have always had a passion for animals. I always want to make sure your furry family members feel comfortable and loved while you’re away! I am reliable and make sure to communicate clearly when a problem arises, or just to send pictures because I know you miss your pet. I love going for walks around my neighborhood and make sure to give plenty of cuddles! I am in online school full-time, so I can your pet my full attention during the day. I am very active during the day and am never in the same spot twice, so there will be lots of activity if your dog needs it. I live in a gated community and can accommodate crated dogs. I also do not mind your dog being on the furniture! I do not currently own a pets and I live in a smoke-free household.
“Laura was so accommodating. My other sitter canceled the morning of and Laura was able to watch my pup the same day. She even came home from work during lunch to meet at my scheduled pickup time. She sent lots of pics during Rocky’s stay and even gave him a mini report card so I could see how he did. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Hillary was great! We loved the numerous photos she sent throughout the day and our puppy, Wriggly loved being there. I could tell by how tired Wriggly was when we picked him up that Hillary had given him lots of play time and he wasn't cooped up all day.”
“Eman is the best! We always leave our Yorkie Poo with her and never worry for a second. She’s super reliable, caring, and Simmi always has the best time. It’s clear she loves what she does, and it shows in how happy and relaxed our fur baby is every time we pick her up. Highly recommend!!!💕💕”
“Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!”
“Ava (as a host) and her space (big back yard) were the perfect match for our Australian Shepherd (Ridge)! She was super responsive, sent plenty of picture/video updates, & our pup LOVED his time there. We will definitely be booking Ava again when we go on trips and need someone to watch Ridge 😊”
“Cory saved the day by taking Gizmo in ! He was caring, attentive and went beyond the call of duty to wear Gizmo out and relax in their beautiful home in Crozet. The mountain property is Lovely and close enough to town . So grateful to Cory for helping me out last minute and with great care and generosity go Gizmo’s never ending desire to play and play some more . Kudos to Cory and his family for making Gizmo one of their family .”
“Brooke took care of my dog while I had a quick overnight trip out of town. She was very communicative, sent pictures and was able to be flexible with my pick up time. I know he had the best time as he got home and slept for hours!”
“Riley is simply the best dog sitter you can search for. She is conscientious, organized, responsive, and she loves dogs. Her way with dogs is special; she paid attention to our dog for the week we booked, and the entire time we were away, we were at ease knowing our dog was cared for like family. It is without reservation that we give the highest rating for Riley - again, simply the best!”
“Gretchen was incredibly responsive, supportive, & communicative — especially for a last-minute request. If I’m in the area again and need a dog sitter, I will definitely reach out; the care from her community of neighbors was incredible! I particularly appreciated their transparency & consideration for Bugs’ needs.”
“Heather was amazing! She was so warm and friendly and communicative. Sent great pics and even made a special treat for my dog (got my permission first). My sweet pup had a great time with her and her family. We will definitely stay with her again!”
About: I'm an experienced dog mama who's been loving these furry friends since I was a kid! Currently mom to two amazing humans and one ultra-sweet, goofy black lab named Finn. I work primarily from home, and have a very pet friendly home. I work mostly remote, so would most likely be with your pup much of the day. Depending on timing, I am available both during the week and weekends. I have an unfenced yard, and also easy access to walking. I do have access to a large dog crate if needed, although pets can have free reign in the house. I have one flight of stairs.
