“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“Christine and Nick were amazing! They took such great care of our Frenchie for a week while we were out of the country. They sent daily pictures with updates. Took her on walks and she played with their two dogs. Their dogs were GREAT with her and well trained. I highly recommend them!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Kayce and her husband are the greatest! We left Annie with them for a long weekend and she was wonderful. Kept us updated daily with photos and messages of our Annie and helped put our minds at ease that she was settled with them during her stay. They have a huge fenced in back yard that Annie enjoyed playing and sniffing around in, she had a blast! We highly recommend Kayce!”
“Well had to have our friends bring our dog last minute yo Dylan & Alex due to issues with their apartment. Dylan and Alex responded so quickly and was able to take Toast while we were overseas and gave us daily updates every morning. Can’t recommend them enough! Would definitely have our dog board again!”
“Amy & Grant were extremely accommodating on short notice. They sent me pictures of my dog without asking and were easy to work with. My dog was sad to leave their house, so I’ll be using them again.”
“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“Abby was accommodating for a meet and greet, which I greatly appreciated; Oliver gets scared when I drop her off to stay with a stranger. Abby provided daily pictures and updates on how Oliver was doing and she came back very happy. I would use Abby again to pet sit.”
“Lucky and Matt were great sitters for my dog. I was very anxious as it was my first time leaving her overnight anywhere but Lucky and Matt made sure to give me constant updates and pictures of my sweet pup. I also loved the treat bag and review they gave me when I picked her up. I will definitely be using them again next time I need a sitter.”
“Very professional and practical. The communication was punctual and timely. I was very pleased to see our dog having such a lovely time during my time away. Highly recommend Anita for your Rover needs.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Leidy! She took excellent care of our senior dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for ❤️ We would absolutely book with Leidy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Kendra is absolutely amazing! She sent me detailed updates multiple times a day with photos as well. This really eased my mind as I was on a week long vacation out of the country with a 24 hour time difference. She also went above and beyond and took Theo on outings as well! I will definitely be using Kendra again and I highly recommend her. Theo came back home so calm and tired so I know he had plenty of play time 😊”
“Adam was great with Poppy. He’s a gentle soul who clearly loves animals. However, when his kids were there overnight, we learned that Poppy isn’t comfortable with younger kids. Adam made it work for the brief period the kids were around Poppy, but it’s not realistic to need to separate young kids in the home and the visiting dog. Sadly we’re still looking for a sitter.”
“Ari took such good care of Stella!! I received updates and photos every day. You could tell Stella was having an awesome time. Ari was very accommodating of Stellas needs as an older dog with knee issues. Her home is so dog friendly with plenty of places for Stella to rest and explore. She was also very understanding and flexible with my travel plans. Would 1000% recommend, and Stella will be back here for sure”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She was excellent with the communication and pictures and I felt so good to see my dog happy while I was out of town taking care of business. Melissa will forever be my dog sitter for my pup.”
“Amanda and Adam sent me pictures of our dog every day and an update on how she was doing. She is a not an easy going dog because she is nervous and has separation anxiety, but they were able to handle her and she liked them, their dogs and their kids. We will be using them again next time we travel!”
“The sweetest people and very accommodating ! I was very comfortable leaving Ben. They have plenty of yard for Ben to play with Buddy and Lucy. He came home so tired I know he had a great time! I would definitely recommend and will be a return customer!”
“Awesome sitter, I have rebooked and she always treats my dog with the same care I would. Sends me updates and photos on how he’s doing, I have and will definitely recommend to family and friends!”
“Jay took such great care of Lenox! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. He came home happy and relaxed, and it was clear he was well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her and will definitely book with Jay again.”
“Madelyn took excellent care of my dog Link and provided me with consistent updates so that I knew he was in good hands. I chose her to board him while I was away for the holidays, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to do the same. I could tell he was treated as if she was his own. Thank you!”

“We were so glad to have Darnell watch our senior kitties over the holidays again. He goes above and beyond, and we came home to happy, healthy kitties who'd been well cared for. Thanks, Darnell, for being our go-to catsitter!”
“Leslie is awesome, my pups loved her, she kept me updated with what was going on with my pups sent me a lot of cute pictures followed everything that I needed her to do and I appreciate her very nice kind and attentive. I will be booking her again soon. Thanks Leslie again.❤️”
“Highly recommend Kayce!!!!! We used Kayce to house sit while watching our senior cat Morticia. Kayce was AMAZING. Best vibes. Mature, fun, open & honest, responsible and patient. Great communicator! She was wonderful with Morticia and sent pictures of their interactions. She respected our home as though her own. We will not hesitate to use her again for sitting the cat and/or house sitting.”
“Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%”
“Emily was so sweet and attentive to my two cats! They loved her. She was great at communicating and placated all my fears. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I have been around cats for over 28 years and have experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. Growing up and living with cats throughout my life has taught me how to understand feline behavior, provide a calm and safe environment, and recognize their individual needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving cats the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable while their owners are away. My lifelong experience has made me dependable, attentive, and passionate about providing loving care for every cat I look after.
“Monique is such an awesome pet sitter!! She always sends pictures and my cats love her. She even brought my packages in for me when i was away. 100% recommend!”
About: I've always felt like I identified more with cats, despite my parents being firmly in the "dog people" camp. So when I moved out on my own, I got my own cats, who are both around 6 years old at this point. I've also spent 2+ years volunteering with humane societies and smaller charities to help find cats their fur-ever homes. I'm passionate about cat care and would love to meet your fur baby!
“Shanelle is one of the best pet sitters we ever had. She is very reliable, answers almost always immediately and she took great care of our two cats. We highly recommend her service to anyone who wants a pet sitter that really cares about your fur babies! Thank you for everything Shanelle!”
“Trinity is awesome. She took care of my babies while I was on vacation for a week. She was on time and made sure they were well taken care of. Duke and Mustard love her. We had a tragedy while I was gone and she stepped in without hesitation and helped out with my Duke. I was so thankful and grateful that I was able to find her on the River app. I will definitely book her through Rover from now on.”
About: I currently own a 2YO cat whom Ive learned so much from. Knowing their needs and wants has become number one priority to me so they can live the best life they well deserve. I am experienced with showing love, care and compassion.
“Joanette C is wonderful. She spent the required time and provided daily updates. She is a professional with a caring demeanor. She went the extra mile by informing me of events in and around the home. She was comfortable in our home which allowed the babies to feel comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Joanette C after this experience.”

“Kayce was amazing! Our request was very last minute but she was very accommodating and flexible. Bree took to her home very quickly. We were able to enjoy our day with no stress knowing Bree was in good hands. Kayce communicated often and we never had to ask or pry for an update. We will absolutely reach out to Kayce if we are in the area again and 100% recommend her services to everyone! This was our first time using Rover and we were lucky enough to have such a positive experience that we will definitely be using it again.??”
“Christine and Nick are absolutely incredible with our German Shepherd, Aurora. This was her first time staying away from home and socializing with other dogs, and they made her feel completely safe, loved, and part of the family. They followed her routine, handled her quirks with confidence and compassion, and kept us updated the entire time. Aurora always comes home exhausted, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such trustworthy and experienced sitters— Highly recommend!”
“Jeanette was great! She was able to accommodate Romeo in a very short time frame, and had to wake up early for the drop off. She kept me updated and Romeo loved her! Overall great experience.”
“We had such a great experience with our sitter through the Rover app. She was incredibly accommodating and adjusted seamlessly to our schedule, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the moment Tilley arrived, it was clear she genuinely cared for her like one of her own pets. She kept me updated, made sure Tilley was comfortable, and gave her so much love and attention during her stay. Her home had more than enough space for Tilley to feel relaxed and active, and I really appreciated how intentional she was about keeping her engaged with daily activities and playtime. Tilley came home happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed her time there. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Tilley again in the future.”
“Abby, had great communication with me while our pup was there. She sent me pics which helped put our minds at ease. What sold me on her was that within 5 minutes of me reaching out with our dogs info and request for care she responded back with her address ready to take him immediately. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be using her services!”
About: We love our fur babies and have been fostering dogs and cats for years. Every dog becomes a member of our family while they are here! Our furniture is pet-friendly and we have a fenced in back yard. We love to go to the park and hike with our dogs when the weather is pleasant! 🐾 Health & Vaccination Policy 🐾 For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I require that all dogs are up-to-date on the following vaccinations: • Rabies • DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) • Bordetella (kennel cough) Puppies must have completed their full vaccination series appropriate for their age. I may request proof of vaccinations prior to your booking, especially for boarding or daycare stays where pets may be in shared spaces. Additionally: • Dogs should be free of fleas, ticks, and any contagious illnesses • Please let me know if your pet has recently been sick or exposed to illness • Pets showing signs of illness (vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, etc.) may need to reschedule for everyone’s safety I truly care about creating a safe, clean, and stress-free environment for every pet. Thank you for helping me keep all my furry guests happy and healthy! 🐶💛 I have plenty of free time to play with your pets, as I work from home part time. We love walks, so a well behaved dog is always welcome on our walks with us. The children in my life are also dog lovers and will be happy to snuggle, play and dote on your fur baby, too. I have a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and I have a large crate, if needed. For anxious dogs, I have the space to keep your fur baby apart from other animals in my home.
“Persephone had a great time at Alison's house. Her pup Kinsley became fast friends with my pup. She was always excited rvery morning for daycare. Alison kept me updated with pictures and videos. Highly recommended!”
“Amanda is hands down a five-star sitter! She watched my dog all day and did an incredible job managing her high energy; she really went above and beyond to get all those "zoomies" out, and I picked up a very happy, tired pup. Her communication was also top-notch throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly knows how to engage with dogs, I highly recommend booking with Amanda!”
“Sabrina was extremely accommodating as I needed day care coverage extremely last minute. She allowed the my pup & her dogs to get comfortable with one another and sent me updates throughout the day without prompting. I truly appreciate her kindness and expertise and will definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi my names Amadi. Thanks for taking a second to check out my profile! I have a little over 15 years of experience in training dogs, helping with socialization skills, and general caretaking. Currently I work from home, a light schedule as I’m testing to obtain another specialty license. In my daily life I used to foster dogs for a rescue. Most of my fosters came from very rough beginnings and had many social and/or anxiety issues but we have been able to overcome them💙 With that being said I totally understand how some dogs are unsure of new people and I’m 100% willing to take the time needed to get to know your fur baby. I do currently have an iguana in his own enclosure and I have extensive reptile knowledge and I’m willing to assist with those as well. I currently have a light schedule that I work from home, so I am available for a lot of pet care needs. I do frequent bathroom visits play, and meal time. I am 100% about safety first. I will not accept any new dogs that will put anyone else in jeopardy. Although I have experience in housing a large number of dogs from my time fostering out in Goochland, and my time working in a doggy daycare, I do not wish to take on a large number of dogs at any one time.
About: Meet & greet required for every new client • Home full-time • Only 1–2 guest dogs at a time • Large fenced backyard • Constant supervision • Family environment • Daily enrichment and play • Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR Certified • 30 years of dog experience • Meet & greet required for every new client. Dogs have been a part of my life for over 30 years, and caring for them is one of my greatest passions. I've raised and trained my own dogs throughout my life, volunteered with pet shelters and continued expanding my knowledge by learning from professional dog trainers, attending obedience classes, and reading about canine behavior. As a stay at home Mom, I'm home most of the day allowing me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and individualized care. Your dog will enjoy a large, securely fenced backyard, a calm cage-free environment (unless you provide your own crate), and lots of love and attention. My goal is to provide a safe, loving home where your dog feels like part of the family while you're away. Where dogs spend the day like part of the family! Throughout the day I provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and constant supervision. I intentionally accept a limited number of dogs so each one receives individualized attention. Enrichment activities; Snuffle mats Enrichment treats (owner approved, of course) Puzzle toys Backyard sniff sessions Fetch Sprinkler or kiddie pool (seasonal) One-on-one play and belly rubs Your furbaby spends the day: playing sniffing socializing supervised backyard time relaxing indoors napping showered with attention You pick up a tired, happy dog after! Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a large, securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play, and dogs are never left outside unattended. I provide a calm, cage-free environment unless you prefer to bring your dog's own crate. Baby gates are used to separate areas of the home when needed. I accept a maximum of two guest dogs at a time to keep the environment safe and low stress. All guest dogs must be at least one year old, house-trained, fully vaccinated, non-reactive toward other dogs, and most importantly are comfortable around children ages 4 and 7. I do not accept puppies or board cats. Meet-and-greets are required before every first booking to ensure everyone is comfortable and a good match.
“Abreya is wonderful. Great communication, friendly, & flexible. Don’t hesitate to book her. We needed services early morning hours outside of her normal hours & she was able to do it. Communication was top notch. Definitely will be using her again & again. Thanks again Abreya.”
“Deven, Tyreek, and Ozzy have been an amazing addition to Tonka's village. They are responsive, caring, and bring lots of joy to my pups life. I appreciate them immensely!”
“Eliane and her husband were more than accommodating. I have a 12 year old dog who struggles with anxiety so finding a family to take care of my baby was a bit stressful. Upon messaging Elaine about her availability she immediately proposed a meet and greet. I was nervous Sepia wouldn’t get along with her own two dogs but it went wonderfully! Elaine and her husband were flexible with my tentative schedule and offered to host sepia for the night when I found out I needed to leave extremely early the next morning. With my crazy work schedule, I will 100% go straight to Elaine and Steven. Sepia clearly made herself at home ? and was spoiled with treats and endless love.”
“Rangeen and her boyfriend Mike took wonderful care of my dog for a day of daycare. She kept in close touch and sent photos during the day which put me at ease as this was our first time using Rangeen. She also took the time to do a meet and greet with us before our daycare date. Overall, I’m very happy and thankful we found them!”
About: I’ve taken care of my sisters dogs in the past, also owned many dogs growing up. My daughter LOVES them. My availability is pretty open! We would love to meet your furry friends. I’m in college and and i’m not currently working. My availability is open so that I will have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. We love animal's in my home we will treat them as our own of course. My place is clean and taken care of perfect setting.
About: As a former teacher and parent, I bring a level of patience, structure, and attentiveness to dog care that closely mirrors what children need to feel safe, supported, and well-guided. I understand how important routine, consistency, and clear boundaries are—not just for behavior, but for overall well-being. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of my daily life. I have hands-on experience with multiple breeds and temperaments, including my own dogs: three Huskies, a Dalmatian, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This has given me a strong understanding of both high-energy and more sensitive breeds, and how to balance activity with proper rest. My home is run as a family-supported, professionally managed boarding environment. My husband, a veteran, is also present and supportive, adding an extra level of attentiveness and reliability to the care your dog receives. What truly sets me apart is the intentional structure I provide. Dogs in my care are guided through a balanced routine that includes play, socialization, rest, and calm time. This helps prevent overstimulation, anxiety, and unsafe behaviors. This type of environment doesn’t just keep dogs safe—it helps them build better habits. Dogs learn to settle, share space appropriately, and become more comfortable around other dogs in a controlled setting. For many dogs, this supports improvements in reactivity, socialization, and overall behavior, helping them become more confident and well-adjusted outside of the home. I strongly believe that dogs thrive when their needs are met through routine, rest, and structure. Just like people, they require downtime and sleep to stay balanced. A consistent schedule helps prevent stress and overstimulation, creating a calmer, happier experience. I have experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, but I am intentional about ensuring that each dog is a good fit for my environment, so I can maintain a safe, structured, and positive space for every dog in my care. Pet care is my full-time focus, and my daily schedule is built entirely around the dogs in my care. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, scheduled walks, outdoor play, and one-on-one attention. Dogs are cared for on a structured routine that includes activity, feeding, and designated rest periods to keep them balanced and comfortable. I’m able to maintain a calm, organized environment where dogs receive reliable care, attention, and structure every day. I provide care in a structured, well-managed home designed for safety, balance, and low stress. As an owner of 5 dogs, 3 different breeds who are trained, I know what dogs need to thrive, feel loved, and thrive socially. While dogs are treated with love and attention, this is not a free-roam environment. I operate a crate-structured system that allows each dog to rest, reset, and avoid overstimulation while also keeping all dogs safe. In my home: • Dogs are comfortably crate trained • Dogs are crated during rest periods, overnight, and when unsupervised • Dogs are rotated for safe, controlled interaction • Dogs are never left to freely roam together without supervision This setup allows me to safely care for multiple dogs while still providing individual attention and a calm atmosphere. For safety: • Dogs must be non-aggressive toward people and other dogs • No history of biting or unsafe behavior • Dogs must be able to remain calm when confined • Collar or harness is required at all times This environment is best suited for dogs who are used to structure, routine, and boundaries.

About: I love all animals but I’m a dog lover through & through. Yes.. Even the stinky butt, stinky breath, so ugly that they’re cute, accident prone, jumper, barker, puller, escape artists, babies too. I was raised with 2 boxers who have made their way across the rainbow bridge. I raised a super mutt for 6 years who has also crossed over. I now have a Rottie mix who was adopted through Chesterfield Animal Shelter going on 4 years ago. She is, in addition to my human babies, my dog child. She is the best of friends with my kids. If you ask my oldest how many brothers and sisters he has, she is included in his total … 😂 I have 10+ years of experience walking/pet sitting neighbors, family and friends dogs but im in my second year of pet sitting full time. I can’t express enough the joy it has brought me. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors & everything in between of all sizes. I’m familiar with giving oral medication and have learned how to properly perform CPR on dogs. I fully understand & respect that each animal is different & has their own needs and personality. As well as their owners. This is why my care goes beyond maintaining. I’m full of patience and love & It’s important to me that i strive for comfortability. I have taken on pet sitting full time! My regular returning clients are a priority but i still have plenty of open room for new clients! I understand that for each pet, their wants and needs may vary. I am big on respecting what makes everyone the most comfortable and cared for. I strive to leave your pet feelings enriched and at ease by the end of my visit.
“Darnell did a great job taking Minnie out for her afternoon walk! Thank you again for taking such great care of our kid, means the world to us that you took care of her like she was yours!”
About: I am very flexible with hours. I am an active person and happy to play with your pet and walk them as much as needed. I grew up in the cold, so weather doesn't bother me walking or driving. I also am willing to work with your hours and do what is best for your pet. I also am always happy to send pictures and check in so you know they are living your best life. I can be flexible but I am a morning person so early walks are okay with me. I can also drop in easily through the day with little issue. I grew up with large dogs (lover (100lbs) and 2 cats, and am the current owner of a Bernese Mountain dog who I love. I love all animals but tend to lean to bigger dogs. I like cats butdon't currently own one due to my husband. I am newer to rover but have spent a lot of time caring for my own pets but also dog sitting for others in their homes over the last 7 years.
About: Active military family who loves animals and doing activities with animals! We have 2 dogs who love other animals :) My wife works from home, and we do not have kids. One of us works from home, so we are usually at home with the dogs most of the day and our weekends are usually very flexible! We have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood away from busy roads. We can easily crate dogs if need be. We like to take daily walks!
“Shanelle did an amazing job with my extremely hyper and large pup. Sent me pictures on every visit (3x a day) and was great at communicating throughout her time with him. 10/10 would recommend, I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing a safe, attentive, and comfortable environment for pets. I am currently going to college and have too much time on my hands. What better time to spend my free time than with your pups. Safety, trust, and creating a positive environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. Having been around dogs my entire life, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I always ensure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated like family while maintaining a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I believe strong communication, reliability, and genuine compassion help build trust with both pets and their owners, allowing every dog to feel safe, happy, and cared for while in my care.
About: Very loving and passionate about fur babies! We own a personal farm whom we take love and compassion to care for them! I have experience with home pets along with outside pets. i am a very active women who can keep up with any active pet. Looking forward to meeting new lovely fur babies! Available during the day, Monday through Friday. Can do some evenings and will also be available weekends depending on times client want the service done. Prefer to care in clients home, although could do at my house. We do own some land where they could roam while potty but as stated before, prefer to go in clients home.
“Lora did an awesome job with Veechie. She clearly has not only a genuine love for animals, but for human beings as well. I had a knee replacement a week ago, and she was very understanding of my pain and very comforting. In this short time, I definitely consider Lora someone to be trusted without only my dog, but with all of the pets in my home. It’s very hard for me to trust other people with my dog especially and I’m very glad that I chose Lora to walk him and I would definitely choose her over and over again with no hesitation. Great experience thank you.”
About: I am an animal lover and have been for my whole life. I have always had dogs and/or cats. I have experience in giving medication, both orally andinjections. As well as tube feeding fowl. I also have experience in small farm/homestead. Including chickens, ducks, horses, pigs, goats, etc... I would treat your animals like my own. I can also water plants, gather mail, etc... In cases of house sitting for a week or longer (6+ nights), I am happy to travel within 200 miles. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any request. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule to be able to care for your pets when and how they need it. We live on a farm with fields to run through, woods to roam and a pond to swim. I'm available to stay overnight in your home and take care of them in their own environment.
“Tiffany is amazing! She goes above and beyond. This is truly her passion. She loves what she do and it shows. This is my third time using Rover and she is the best one we booked for our Buddy. Tiffany, I hope you are available whenever me and my family decides to travel.”
“Emily was simply outstanding. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog and kept me up to date on everything happening with her. I would absolutely recommend her 100% to anyone who needs dog care/services!”
“Max is wonderful! My energetic pup loved him , and he was needed after I had foot surgery and couldn’t walk the dog. I was home when Max came and went with my pup; he let me know each day when he was on his way, which was helpful. He was on time and reliable. I would definitely hire Max again. Thank you!”
About: I am a former dog owner who's trained a few dogs. I will treat the dog like my own! I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and cuddles! I work full time. Mostly from home. My significant other has an alternative schedule so the dog would be under 24 hour supervision. I can't wait to have a buddy with me throughout the day! I understand how anxious your paw partner may be while you are away -- I am here to console your paw partner until you are back 💕 I live in a single home with a large fenced backyard with a pool they can play in! Great parks and trails nearby. Dogs will have freedom in all rooms of the home. Dog will be supervised 20-24 hours a day. This helps me ensure pet safety and quick turnaround on any changes to health and/or behaviors.
About: I’ve owned and cared for furry (scaled and feathered!) friends my whole life. From cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and bunnies, to fish and birds. I even have experience caring for sugar gliders and a ball python. I’ve worked as a pet uber (with a company called Leash) and volunteered at shelters, socializing events, and cat rescues for several years, so I’m used to interacting with all kinds of pet personalities and ages. From shy snugglers, to loyal guardians, to spunky characters, to goofy adventurers, I love them all! You can trust I will love on your baby and treat them with as much care as I do my own fur babies. My schedule is fairly flexible right now since my medical retirement from the Army in October. I’m currently working on an online M.S. in psych and substitute teaching in my boyfriend’s town (Clarksville, VA) whenever I’m available. Since it’s a long commute and I’m typically called the morning of, I try to keep Monday and Tuesday open to sub if needed. I am more than willing to do virtual and in person meet and greets to learn pet needs and routines. I prefer to meet in person to get acquainted with your pet while they feel safe in your presence (but I’ve never met a pet I didn’t click with and love immediately.) I’ll accept any additional written/typed outlines detailing your pets care if that’s easier than leaving notes in the app. You name it and I’ll do it; whatever is best for you and your fur baby. Dogs under my care will enjoy long walks and dog parks trips where applicable. If you have a puppy (or dog) in training, I love to partner in their learning using whatever commands you prefer. Kitties under my care will get lots of playtime with wands and lasers, as well as tons of snuggles.

“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“Christine and Nick were amazing! They took such great care of our Frenchie for a week while we were out of the country. They sent daily pictures with updates. Took her on walks and she played with their two dogs. Their dogs were GREAT with her and well trained. I highly recommend them!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Kayce and her husband are the greatest! We left Annie with them for a long weekend and she was wonderful. Kept us updated daily with photos and messages of our Annie and helped put our minds at ease that she was settled with them during her stay. They have a huge fenced in back yard that Annie enjoyed playing and sniffing around in, she had a blast! We highly recommend Kayce!”
“Well had to have our friends bring our dog last minute yo Dylan & Alex due to issues with their apartment. Dylan and Alex responded so quickly and was able to take Toast while we were overseas and gave us daily updates every morning. Can’t recommend them enough! Would definitely have our dog board again!”
“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“Abby was accommodating for a meet and greet, which I greatly appreciated; Oliver gets scared when I drop her off to stay with a stranger. Abby provided daily pictures and updates on how Oliver was doing and she came back very happy. I would use Abby again to pet sit.”
“Lucky and Matt were great sitters for my dog. I was very anxious as it was my first time leaving her overnight anywhere but Lucky and Matt made sure to give me constant updates and pictures of my sweet pup. I also loved the treat bag and review they gave me when I picked her up. I will definitely be using them again next time I need a sitter.”
“Very professional and practical. The communication was punctual and timely. I was very pleased to see our dog having such a lovely time during my time away. Highly recommend Anita for your Rover needs.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Leidy! She took excellent care of our senior dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for ❤️ We would absolutely book with Leidy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Adam was great with Poppy. He’s a gentle soul who clearly loves animals. However, when his kids were there overnight, we learned that Poppy isn’t comfortable with younger kids. Adam made it work for the brief period the kids were around Poppy, but it’s not realistic to need to separate young kids in the home and the visiting dog. Sadly we’re still looking for a sitter.”
“Ari took such good care of Stella!! I received updates and photos every day. You could tell Stella was having an awesome time. Ari was very accommodating of Stellas needs as an older dog with knee issues. Her home is so dog friendly with plenty of places for Stella to rest and explore. She was also very understanding and flexible with my travel plans. Would 1000% recommend, and Stella will be back here for sure”
“Amanda and Adam sent me pictures of our dog every day and an update on how she was doing. She is a not an easy going dog because she is nervous and has separation anxiety, but they were able to handle her and she liked them, their dogs and their kids. We will be using them again next time we travel!”
“The sweetest people and very accommodating ! I was very comfortable leaving Ben. They have plenty of yard for Ben to play with Buddy and Lucy. He came home so tired I know he had a great time! I would definitely recommend and will be a return customer!”
“Deven and Tyreek were amazing! They took great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos. You can tell they really love animals — my dog was happy and comfortable the whole time. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Miranda is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! She took care of our dog Archie last-minute (for the first time, too) and was incredibly kind, helpful, and constantly updated me while watching him. Archie had such a good time, he didn't want to leave! We also had to pick him up past midnight on our way back, and Miranda was extremely accommodating and, again, was just amazing overall. Her dog Crush was also super sweet and has become Archie's first best friend. We will absolutely be using her services again, and I highly recommend others to do the same!!!”
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“Radka and her family were very loving and caring towards our puppy. Our puppy was so happy in their care. I'm very appreciative that Radka shared pics every few hours. We're so happy we found her. I'm leaving my puppy with her every time I have to go out of town.”
“Myrna is a lifesaver. My sitter canceled on me last minute and Myrna was available within the hour. Ellie usually is pretty shy in new places but she warmed up to Myrna quickly and had a great time.”
“I really appreciate the loving care Laura & her family gave Harvey while we were away for 2 weeks! It was our first time leaving him since adopting him in Nov & it was very important to me that he would be in a nice home that welcomed him as part of the family. That is exactly what Laura provided! She is easy going & a good communicator, responding to all my questions quickly before & during Harvey's stay & sending pictures & notes of Harvey's daily activities. I highly recommend Laura!”
