“This was Caesar's second visit and I must say that's I'm very pleased with the level of care that was provided for our fur baby. I'm a little protective over Caesar but he is comfortable with Amber & family and it brings me alot of comfort and peace. Thank you for what you do!”
“Heather is the absolute best! She’s also very communicative and will make sure your pup feels right at home. Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a rover in the Fredericksburg area!! She also sends loads of cute pics, which I very much appreciate”
“Rebekah was a fantastic sitter! She sends frequent updates with photos of your pup, so you can rest assured that they are happy and safe ❤️ Jane requires almost constant human attention and goes outside every 2-3 hours. Rebekah meet all of her needs and more. Her facility is clean, inviting, and pup friendly. Will most definitely be booking again!!”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”

“Lorena takes excellent care of the dogs. They get lots of love and exercise. We get photos and updates on a regular basis which is reassuring to us. Lorena has proven to be our dogs’ “home away from home.””
“Our girls were loved and very well cared for. 🩷 As parents, we could not ask for more. Svetlana is compassionate for your fur babies and you the parents. 🥰 We received videos that helped us to enjoy our time away, because we didn't have to wonder how they were doing. We are grateful for Svetlana. 🐾”
“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! 🐾💛”
“I can tell my baby had a great time at Rebecca's. She kept me updated with pics. We recently moved to the area and didn't have a sitter for Dolce. Definitely recommended booking her!”
“Kota seemed to have enjoyed his time at Brooke and Bryan's farm. They were very accommodating and flexible. I loved that Kota had plenty of playtime and socialization with other pups his size while he was there. He took a long nap when we got home. Thank you!”
“Christie was great - kept us informed, sent us videos and took plenty of time to get to know our doodle puppy and gave her plenty of exercise and love. Also, when a massive rainstorm hit just before pickup, she gave us some extra time to get which was greatly appreciated. She is caring and offered suggestions about diet and treats and worked with her on her first nite getting to sleep in a strange place. Her large doodle ended up being a great play buddy outside. We will use her again for sure.”

“Meredith is an angel with our sweet pup! She kept him for the duration of our cruise, and updated us with several pictures and a video. She was able to cater to our specific feeding needs, as well as administering medication. We are so lucky to have a puppysitter that treats him with such love and care.”

About: Cats are my favorite animals, I live and breath them. Ive had cats since I could remember but Ive taken care of them since I was about 8. Ive cared for all kinds of cats in all shapes and colors, ive also remedied alot of different issues that having a cat involve so theres not alot I cant handle
“Jessica is truly the best! She takes excellent care of our cats while we’re away. She always communicates with us and provides detailed report cards with photos after each drop-in. We couldn’t ask for better care.”
About: I have many years of pet sitting, up to several pets at a time, including owning many of my own since I was a child. I am patient when meeting new pets, for I understand it may take time to warm up to new people (and other pets!) I’m friendly, and talk to most animals just like they’re humans (lol). I enjoy spending time playing around, going for runs, as well as providing companionship when around pets. We love snuggling in bed over here! I’m not easily intimidated by a shy pet, and will treat them with the same respect and patience as their owners. I have high expectations for my own, so I believe it is only normal and natural to give the same in return for others’ pets so their families are comfortable with who they leave their furry friends with when away. My boy is the friendliest dog ever! He absolutely loves meeting other dogs (and the owners to receive even more affection 🤣). He’s got a lot of energy, which can overwhelm others the first day (he just wants to play!) He is very gentle with small dogs. When meeting others’ on the first day, If they are uncomfortable with his energy level and show they need time to warm up, he immediately backs off and resorts to my side until they are ready. He is very submissive in this sense which is great for no escalation and providing other dogs with the time they need to adjust to a new setting/new friends. I work a full time day job Monday-Friday 8-4, so please be sure prior to requesting services, your pets are able to accept this schedule. I am unfortunately unable to stop in midday as my lunch break does not allow for me to make it very far under 30 minutes. My pets along with the others’ I have boarded have had no issues with a routine working schedule, but every pet has different needs. ❤️ I care for others’ pets like they are my own! It is my duty as a trusted sitter to care for others’ pets in a way they need. I predominantly care for pets in others homes as I have several pets of my own. I do not have any issue with camera systems being in shared spaces to assure families feel safe having someone in their home with their pets.
“April is a pro at this job! She thinks ahead while I-the cat owner - am worried about last minutes things to pack 😊. We had a great meet and greet which made me confident about the care our cat needs. All went smoothly and perfectly at home while we were away. April sent pictures and comments at every visit 🙏”
“Autumn made sure my kitties were well taken care of. She has lots of patience to deal with my stubborn cat. I greatly appreciate her and can always count on her to do great! Thank you!!”
About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets needs and wants. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space they get space. It’s all about precious pets needs for me. I provided a 5 star service. My aim is to please and keep them happy. I currently have two dogs of my own and a cat. You can rest assured that if your pets are in my care they will be well-loved and taken care of! I will treat your “babies” like they were my own, not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “baby” treated while I’m away!! That is my promise to you and your fur babies❤️
“Thank you for taking great care of my kitty while I was away! And extra thanks for doing so last minute. Michelle rocks! Great updates and TLC for the fur baby(and plants) ?”
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”
“1st time using Rover and Judy and couldn't be happier. Judy was very responsive and took great care of my boys, gave me regular updates and photos of them being....them. lol. She took them time to make sure not only were they fed, but ensured they had everything they needed before she left.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job checking on our older cat who can sometimes be particular with who he shows affection to and has some quirks. She left great pictures and updates and that put us at ease on our vacation.”
“Hailey was absolutely AMAZING with my two two fur babies! She sent lots of pics to me and did everything as instructed and more! My cats just loved all the attention she gave them. I would highly recommend her anyone needing petcare! I knew she would be great from the moment I met her!”
About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dog for the last three years. I’m very trust worthy and compassionate when it comes to dogs, friends and family trust me with there pets I’m currently working during the week, but I’m available every weekend and also every Friday after 4:00 pm so I’ll have plenty of time to play with animals on weekends. I have a wide opened smoke free apartment so the pets could run freely and be comfortable. There is plenty of out door space also with a nature trail to walk.
“I was very nervous about booking with Rover (because I wouldn’t know the people) but am so happy I did and even happier I booked Victoria. Like most of us on this app, my kitty is my family & Victoria was very understanding of my need for lots of photo updates. She was prompt & left our place tidy. You can always tell if our kitty didn’t get enough attention with other sitters but after Victoria’s stay she was very calm & happy. She checked in for each feeding time & took all the details I left her (which were a lot) into account. Will 100% be booking her again. Very happy.”
“Madison saved the day again! I knew my cat was in safe hands while I was away. Madison gave me daily updates and took care of everything we talked about. I’ll keep booking as long as she’s available!”
About: I have experience with all kinds of kitties! I am the proud cat parent of a special needs kitty, and have experience with both solo and multi-cat households. I've never met a cat I didn't love, and it would be an absolute privilege to care for your fur babies.

“⸻ Pedro had an amazing day with Yeny and Ray! He got plenty of playtime with his new furry friends, Charlie and Leo. When we got home, Pedro was happily tired and ready for bed. Yeny and Ray sent us photos and videos throughout the day, and communication was great. We’ll definitely book with them again!”
About: I have always had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and I love them. We currently have two dogs. I have a male Golden doodle named Bo and a female Teddy Bear named Annie. I like to walk the dogs for two 30 minute walks a day. I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom. I have a 7 year old, 10 year old, 13 year old and 16 year old at home. Everyone loves dogs. We have a routine with the dogs and they are part of the family. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am a firm believer that dogs need to be walked. I walk my dogs for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon on a walking path behind my house. I keep jingle bells on my door and my dogs ring them to go outside to potty. I have options to separate dogs if necessary. Dogs are separated at feeding time.
“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs. Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”
About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds—from cats and dogs to birds, bunnies, and even livestock. I grew up working alongside an equine veterinarian and have spent years collaborating closely with small animal vets, giving me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether your pet needs meds, special care, or just a little extra love, I specialize in supporting animals with medical needs and take pride in being calm, compassionate, and highly attentive. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a lifelong animal caregiver who treats every pet like family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it's midday walks, medication schedules, or just extra snuggles, I’m consistently present and available to keep your pets happy and stress-free. My routine is built around their needs—because their comfort and well-being come first. 🐾 In my home, pets enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of supervised playtime. My own friendly dogs are always happy to welcome new furry friends, but if your pet prefers one-on-one attention, I can provide a quiet, relaxed space just for them. I tailor the experience to match each pet’s personality and comfort level—whether they love to socialize or just want a calm companion.
About: I’ve dog sat for many clients before not in the Rover app. I enjoy being able to take the animals on walks and playing with them! I’m very kind to animals and love meeting different breeds! I have a dog and 4 cats of my own, so I’m very much used to taking care of animals! Most of my cats are indoors but I do have a dog that I take on walks. I’m currently looking for a full time job to replace my current job. I am a senior in college but do it all online so I am very flexible. I always try to make a pet feel as comfortable as possible around me. I’m not an overly hyper person so I wouldn’t make them nervous in that way. I usually come in, sit down, and let them get used to me and make sure they’re okay to get around me.

New to Rover? You can get $20 off your first booking with the promo code "STEPHH14235" I am a self-employed homebody who has an extremely flexible schedule and doesn't currently have pets in the home. This means that I can provide 24/7 care and 100% focus on your little friend full-time. More importantly, your pet will be more comfortable always having a human around. I've been called reliable, honest and punctual. I take a more personalized approach and only serve one client at a time. This way I can provide the most efficient care based on their specific needs while also mitigating the risks of hosting multiple unfamiliar dogs at once. The three pillars of my pet care are safety, reliability, and comfort.
“Christie was AWESOME! She sent videos of my Dallas frolicking happily in her spacious backyard which put my mind at ease that he was having a wonderful time in her care! She is very loving, and attentive dog lover and I’ll definitely be calling on her again in the near future!”
About: Going away? Let your pets stay, play, and relax in the warmth and comfort of family. With a sitter who embraces every Fur baby as part of the pack. Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, or medication—I strive to ensure your furball feels not only cared for but loved as well. While providing consistency, reliability, and most importantly, peace of mind to you. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m naturally nurturing, highly responsible, and always home—perfect for giving your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve. With a flexible schedule and a heart for caregiving, your furry companions will feel safe, loved, and never alone. I have a 2200+ sqft house with plenty of space for playing and exploration as well as multiple quiet cozy nooks separate from the main area, perfect for observing and getting comfortable with new environments and friends. For the pets that prefer the great outdoors our home is on a 1/2 acre lot with a fenced-in backyard that is mostly shaded by multiple large trees to lounge under and provide plenty of birds, squirrels, and rabbits to chase around! Afterwards, a large comfy couch and doggy bed await in the main living room space so your pup can rest and relax with the family. I allow animals on the furniture and bed so they always feel welcome to cuddle up with me for pets and ear rubs. Likewise, at bedtime your furry companion can curl up on the bed or sleep on the plush doggy bed in the comfy nook at the foot of the bed. My goal is to ensure that at all points of their adventure they feel a part of the family.

About: Hi there! 🐾 With over 10 years of equine handling experience and many years of dog and pet sitting, I’ve learned that great pet care goes beyond simply being present, it’s about being observant, consistent, and reliable. I take pride in providing calm, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between. I’m very mindful of routines, body language, and individual personalities, and I believe patience and consistency make all the difference in helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I value clear, open communication and always make it a priority to keep owners informed and at ease. From daily visits to extended stays, my goal is to provide a dependable, low-stress experience for both pets and their people. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’d be honored to care for your pets and farm animals alike. Rates are not set in stone, I am happy to work with you to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. This flexibility gives me the ability to provide consistent, attentive care, accommodate a variety of routines, and spend meaningful, unhurried time with your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very mindful of both the animals and the space they live in. I approach each visit with a safety-first mindset, taking care to secure doors, gates, and feeding areas, and to follow all instructions exactly as given. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior or environment and respond calmly and responsibly if anything seems out of the ordinary. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home, and I treat that responsibility with respect and professionalism. My goal is to provide a steady, reliable presence so pets remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and owners can feel confident knowing their home and animals are in careful hands.

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.

“Christie was great - kept us informed, sent us videos and took plenty of time to get to know our doodle puppy and gave her plenty of exercise and love. Also, when a massive rainstorm hit just before pickup, she gave us some extra time to get which was greatly appreciated.

We will use her again for sure.”
