“Dev had a great setup for my wild puppies with options to allow them to get their zoomies out. Deb was an experienced dog owner who was able to be patient with my 5 month old pups. She sent updates at all the right times during our trip when we needed them at times we were missing our fur family. I know they are a handful so I am very grateful for Deb's willingness to take on such a crew even after meeting them.”
“I cannot recommend her enough! She watched Otis for 2 nights and treated him like he was her own. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. She sent me lots of updates and photos, which meant so much and made being away from my boy so much easier. You could genuinely tell how much love and attention he was getting the whole time. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly loving with animals, she is absolutely the person to book. I would 100% use her again!”
“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!!!”
“Jocelyn did an excellent job of watching our dog. She was very flexible changing dates after our travel plans changed. She also sent regular updates with photos to help us feel better about our dog being taken care of.”
“Joe and Lilibet were very welcoming to Booker who very much enjoyed his time with them. Will absolutely book again. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a Rover in/around Staunton area.”
“This was our second time leaving the pups with Tiffanie, she is fantastic! She is great with sending photos and keeping us up to date on their activities and adventures.”
“Outstanding person and dog caretaker. Our pup probably had more fun with Amy than at home, and we had zero concerns leaving him for ten days. He came home happy and healthy.”
“Jani & Paul are just the best our dogs absolutely love them and are so relaxed at their place. They come home like nothing has happened. I so so grateful to have found them they're just perfect”
“Our Siberian Husky loved staying with Cory! He got lots of walks and play time, and settled right in once we dropped him off. I also appreciated Cory’s regular updates and responsiveness”
About: I have had animals my whole life! I’m always happy to help friends and family. Life is better with fur babies! Happy to help. I am not working so I am available anytime. I can do drop ins, in home care or at my home. I have two miniature dachshunds that love to play and a beautiful neighborhood for walks. We have gates on our stairs to keep our dogs on one level. I have a crate if needed in my home to keep your dog safe.
“Danielle was so easy to work with and accommodating for my dog's needs on her stay. She went the extra mile! She was gentle and very attentive with my dog. I was so happy with how the weekend worked out. Count on me to book a repeat stay!”
“We had some unexpected complications during our time and Haley handled them with so much graciousness! She was great at communicating and being accommodating. My dog was absolutely the most comfortable she has been with any sitter. We are grateful for the personal care our dog received with Haley!”
“Pamela was wonderful! She met our pups before her stay and I could tell immediately that she confident and comfortable around dogs. Our normally hesitant pups wanted all her attention, no questions asked right at hello. Over her stay in our home with our pups she did all the things we would do with them if not more since all her focus was on them for the weekend. I would definitely recommend Pamela to other and would love to have her back again. I came home to happy and content pups.”
“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!”
“Hazzar boarded our cavapoo for 1 week and went above and beyond our expectations. When we came to pick our dog, we could tell she was happy and well-cared for. Communication with Hazzar was easy and quick. She promptly replied to our messages and sent pictures of our dog throughout the week. I would recommend Hazzar to anyone looking for a caring a loving pet sitter.”

“Sylvia was great with both of our cats - keeping the needy one happy and winning over the skittish one in record time. She went above and beyond in the care department and sent plenty of great pictures and updates.”
“Katherin was fantastic! Super nice in person, I immediately felt very comfortable leaving Kofi in her hands for my 2 week trip out of the country. She was super at communicating and it was clear from her messages and pictures that Kofi was thriving while I was gone, which made it easy for me to enjoy my traveling more without worrying about him while I was gone. When I came back my home and most especially Kofi were in fantastic shape. He was happy to seem, but did not seem stressed or anxious at all. :) Would definitely recommend Katherin and I'll be lucky if I can have her hang out with Kofi again when needed. Thank you so much, you're a godsend!”
“Sarah was awesome! She took amazing care of my rabbit and was always updating me with his shenanigans. She was a pleasure to have petsit and I would 100% ask for her help again!!”
About: While I am new to pet sitting, I’ve spent my whole life taking care of my own pets as well as pet sitting/ house sitting for family while they’re away. I have experience with animals ranging for dogs, cats, fish and guinea pigs! I have experience with the importance of following routines, giving fresh food and water, cleaning up accidents, giving potty breaks, making sure pets feel safe and comfortable, and since I work in a hospital, recognizing changes in behavior. I understand that different pets have unique needs. My dog Ruby has severe separation anxiety and I provide her comfort, patience, and security during her flare ups. I’m committed to following your instructions closely so your pet receives the same love and care they’re used to at home. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family! I’m currently working 3 days a week Thursday-Saturday as a night shift PCT at a hospital.I will be moving to part-time in August working 2 days a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays), and will have more flexibility! I am only accepting bookings on my days off and I can provide plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day! Whether your pet is more active or laid back I’ll make sure they are comfortable, safe and attended to while you’re away. When caring for your pet I will: - Give adequate potty breaks throughout the day. - Follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. -Keep litter boxes, food bowls, and water bowls clean. -Take your dog on walks (if requested). - Send regular photo and video updates so you know how your pet is doing. -Treat your home with respect by keeping it clean, locking doors and windows, bringing in packages if requested, and following any household instructions you leave. -Most importantly, make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable until you return home!
“Hailey comes and checks on my 5 year old Lab a couple times a week. She always gives a good recap of the visit and enforces the manners I want from my dog. I will definitely keep rebooking with her!”
“Analise is always my first pick for a sitter. She is sweet, caring, professional and trustworthy. I can leave my house with peace of mind when she takes care of my bunny, and he always loves to see her!”
“Second time with Jaime and she treated our cats like they were old friends. She was flexible with last-minute planning, and she regularly keeps us in the loop while being incredibly thorough with her visits. She is an asset to insuring that you never worry about your furry loved ones while youre away. Thanks again!”
“Ashley is great! This was our first time leaving our kitten for a short weekend. She was patient and flexible with him, even when he was stubborn about where he wanted to eat. Thank you!”

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!

“We were so excited to have Jack with Arie and Leigh as one of our first tries with day care as they are so experienced with dogs in general but especially labs. All went very well, great communication and what a wonderful family and property for Jack to play and even had a furry friend! Will plan to use them again and very much recommend.”
“Madison took great care of my skittish fearful rescue beagle! Her dog was also great company for mine. I’m so happy to have found a great sitter. We’ll be booking again with Madison soon!”
“We dropped Oliver off while we stopped and explored Staunton on a road trip, Sam was super flexible and kind. I felt comfortable leaving him there and would 100% book again if we’re in the area!”
“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.”

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.
“Kaleb had a great time at Amy's home and playing with Sylvie her pup. The dogs had a safe time and played HARD....he is now home and fast asleep. Can you see the smile on his face? Thank you Amy for making sure Kaleb had a stress free day. We will be back definitely.....”
“So happy with this host! Dogs have fun with other dogs. Comfy nap time and even a walk!!! Love the pictures!!! Could not be happier . I used to feel so guilty dropping them off at pet day cares but since I found this rover host I feel not guilt! .”
“My senior dog was well looked after by Cory and his wife. I forgot to mention my boy's aversion to cats, which I didn't know they have. They were very gracious about my oversight and managed the situation well. Felt very comfortable leaving my boy with them.”
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!
“We truly appreciate Brandy! We booked very last minute with brandy. Being on vacation we brought our epileptic pup and he wasn’t coping well in a new place being alone. So we downloaded this app for the first time and booked with her while we went out. She responded when I checked on him, and sent me pictures of him while he was with her. We are even booked an extra day with her while we were here because he did so well in her care! Thank you Brandy !!”
About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats and have cared for several family members’ pets for over 20 years! I’m a huge animal lover and miss having one of my own. I’m a stay-at-home-mom of 3 kids so I have plenty of time to walk and play! My schedule is extremely flexible and I’m available on weekends. I have an unfenced yard and live 20 feet from the Crozet trail system, right next to Claudius Crozet Park. We don’t have any pets of our own but my three kids (ages 4, 5 & 6) are very active and will play all day with your pet. My sister is a vet at Dominion Animal Hospital so I have immediate access to professional help if needed!
About: I have grown up with my family’s Golden Retriever. My husband and I also have a Golden Retriever. I have also fostered and taken care of a few dogs from the SPCA to give them a break from the shelter. I have helped watch friends and family dogs while they are away. My husband and I am available all throughout the week to give your dog all the attention it needs. My husband works from home so your dog will have company throughout the day. We have a fenced in yard that we can let your dog out to run around with our Golden Retriever. We will also take them on nice walks around our neighborhood and on the trail by our house. My husband and I live in a house in a neighborhood where we can take them on long walks throughout the day. I have a 2 year old golden retriever.

“Katherine is great with Johnny and June! She is professional, prompt, and kind to my pups. They already love her and I have a peaceful mind that she is caring for them. We look forward to our weekly walks and highly recommend her.”
“Ripley underwent some big life changes recently. right after i started up a new job with a long commute, she lost her best (dog) buddy, who she was used to spending her days with. all of this meant Ripley was going to be spending 12+ hour days all alone. But then we met Dana, our Rover dog-walker! Now Ripley gets 30-minute adventures 2-3x a week, complete with photo updates and little synopsis of what went down on the walk. Getting the Rover notification, “Ripley’s been picked up for her walk!” is the highlight of my day. She’s in amazing hands, and I’m one grateful, teary-eyed dog mom. This looks and sounds like a Rover ad, but i’m not getting paid for it. I do highly highly recommend Dana - she is in Staunton. If you’re thinking, “my dog isn’t easy- she can’t be walked by just anyone” - that is exactly what i thought. Dana brings her husband on walks, and he can help manage the strength of a giant breed, (Ripley weighs over 100lbs) Also, if you think that your dog is too skittish to be walked by anyone other than you, I thought the same thing. Dana and her husband weren’t afraid of Ripley’s initial reaction to them. They stuck around for about an hour to wait for her to calm down and they gained her trust. They even introduced Ripley to their kids.”
“Jaime was wonderful with Sophie and a pleasure to work with! She found a way to make things work that had at first looked like they might be a stumbling block logistically, and she made Sophie’s walk fun despite the great heat. We all look forward to our next adventures with Jaime!”

“Destiny did very well with my boys and was patient with Marco since he needs some extra TLC due to his past. She has always been punctual and good about giving me updates and keeping me informed. My boys will see her again. She's great!”
About: Hello! My name is Hailey, and I am looking forward to serving you and your fuzzy family members! I am a lifelong pet lover, growing up with at least one dog and two cats in my family home at all times. I have experience dog sitting/cat sitting (both in-home and drop-in) over a number of years. I have cared for many breeds of dogs, ranging from French bulldogs to golden retrievers to mutts. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of varying temperaments and training levels, as well as puppies/kittens, aging dogs/cats, and dogs/cats with chronic illnesses. I am patient and attuned to the needs of every pet I interact with, ensuring that I respect their boundaries and make them as comfortable as possible. Lastly, I will shower them in attention and love! Due to my current jobs/schedules, I am currently unable to provide overnight bookings. However, I am flexible with my work and can check in multiple times a day on pets, including during early mornings and later into the evenings. If you are concerned about whether or not I would be able to complete a booking based on timing, please reach out anyway, and I will work my hardest to accommodate to you and your pet(s)!

I ensure that water is available at all times and that food is provided per the owners designated feeding schedule. Most importantly, I am willing and able to provide care as the owner would for their own pet. I will always be attentive to a dogs body language and interact accordingly as to not overstep their boundaries. I am also experienced with cats of varying temperaments and socialization levels. I am well-attuned to a cats desires and bids for attention and will always honor their comfortability. If a cat is wanting attention, I will happily provide it. If they are afraid or unsure of whether or not they want interaction with me, I will happily honor that.

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: I've grown up with animals my entire life beginning with Mr. Blue the Himalayan Cat and Kahlua the Black Lab and all of the animals I've loved, worked with, and now become mama to in my adult life. I feel most at ease when I am around animals and consider it an honor to have the opportunity to love them as my own. Regardless of whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer stint. I can most often be found at home. Between kids, fur babies (both mine and others’) I stay pretty busy. I have a Golden Retriever who just turned 7 (though you’d never know he wasn’t still a pup) to play with and keep your baby company. There's space in my home to separate if anyone needs a break and I can easily crate if needed or desired. *Crating is for safety and comfort only, I do not use crating as as discipline. I work from home so there is plenty of room in my schedule for playtime, walks, pet-friendly outings and adventures, cuddles, feeds and/or any other specialized care your friend might require. I have an unfenced yard so any outside play will be leashed or in an enclosure. For additional safety, I keep a few dog crates on hand. They are available for pups that are crate trained, in case I need to separate, or even personal preference! Dogs are den animals so when used correctly, some of them (like ours!) love having a cozy space to relax. *Please note, I never use crates as “punishment” in our home, nor do I believe in or practice discipline of animals. I care for and love every animal the way I’d want my sweet boy loved and cared for.
About: My dog-sitting history is primarily dogs with a variety of health issues and idiosyncrasies. Does your dog have special needs or odd habits? I've got it covered! Normies welcome too. ;) I work full time during the week, so I'm available weekends if you need me during the day or I can lend my services on weekdays evenings/mornings depending on proximity. I'm religious about monitoring doors and making sure everyone is appropriately harnessed/leashed. I have experience administering topical and oral medications and can maintain time-sensitive care schedules.
About: As a child, my family had 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a parakeet. Throughout the years of my childhood, the amount of dogs and cats would go up and down with natural fluctuation from age. During middle school, my family began adding horses to the mix of the family. From middle school into high school, I participated weekly in rodeo competitions with my family and friends. When I was in high school, the parakeet passed from old age. The summer before my freshman year in high school we started acquiring more animals than just the horses we rode, and the pets we took care of. I actively worked with my older sister as she showed sheep, rabbits, and chickens in high school FFA. Throughout my higher education experience I have continued to own cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles, and horses. I have lived with and befriended people who own a variety of reptiles such as pythons, scorpions, lizards, and others. The farm has less types of animals occupying now due to natural causes, but I still maintain a strong love for all spirits out in the pasture and home. I have worked many years at various animal focused businesses such as Tractor Supply and PetCo where I have assisted people with understanding their animal(s) needs and taking care of a multitude of different animals, too. I have pretty flexible availability to administer animal care throughout the week. Easily available between 8AM - 8PM. Can provide care outside of those hours, but within reason and will gladly work with clients and animals as needed. I love to spend time with animals in my care. I am not a drop in and drop out person. I will spend at least the amount of time you request, if not more, with your pet(s) to provide attention, love, exercise, and meet their needs. I am an active participant during outside potty/play time and prefer to follow all rules already in place by family. You will receive a detailed note of all that occurs as well as multiple photos of your animal throughout my stay, unless otherwise specified by yourself.
About: I’ve had experience with helping with puppies and other ages of dogs. I personally have a cat of my own and I’ve had 4 years of experience with cats. I am currently working 35-40 hours a week and I am mostly free in the afternoons and evening. I am completely free on Sundays too! I follow the care instructions outlined by the owner and treat the pets with so much love. I can play with the pets as needed!

“Dev had a great setup for my wild puppies with options to allow them to get their zoomies out. Deb was an experienced dog owner who was able to be patient with my 5 month old pups. She sent updates at all the right times during our trip when we needed them at times we were missing our fur family. I know they are a handful so I am very grateful for Deb's willingness to take on such a crew even after meeting them.”
“I cannot recommend her enough! She watched Otis for 2 nights and treated him like he was her own. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. She sent me lots of updates and photos, which meant so much and made being away from my boy so much easier. You could genuinely tell how much love and attention he was getting the whole time. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly loving with animals, she is absolutely the person to book. I would 100% use her again!”
“Jocelyn did an excellent job of watching our dog. She was very flexible changing dates after our travel plans changed. She also sent regular updates with photos to help us feel better about our dog being taken care of.”
“Joe and Lilibet were very welcoming to Booker who very much enjoyed his time with them. Will absolutely book again. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a Rover in/around Staunton area.”
“This was our second time leaving the pups with Tiffanie, she is fantastic! She is great with sending photos and keeping us up to date on their activities and adventures.”
“Outstanding person and dog caretaker. Our pup probably had more fun with Amy than at home, and we had zero concerns leaving him for ten days. He came home happy and healthy.”
“Our Siberian Husky loved staying with Cory! He got lots of walks and play time, and settled right in once we dropped him off. I also appreciated Cory’s regular updates and responsiveness”
About: I have had animals my whole life! I’m always happy to help friends and family. Life is better with fur babies! Happy to help. I am not working so I am available anytime. I can do drop ins, in home care or at my home. I have two miniature dachshunds that love to play and a beautiful neighborhood for walks. We have gates on our stairs to keep our dogs on one level. I have a crate if needed in my home to keep your dog safe.
“Danielle was so easy to work with and accommodating for my dog's needs on her stay. She went the extra mile! She was gentle and very attentive with my dog. I was so happy with how the weekend worked out. Count on me to book a repeat stay!”
“We had some unexpected complications during our time and Haley handled them with so much graciousness! She was great at communicating and being accommodating. My dog was absolutely the most comfortable she has been with any sitter. We are grateful for the personal care our dog received with Haley!”
“Pamela was wonderful! She met our pups before her stay and I could tell immediately that she confident and comfortable around dogs. Our normally hesitant pups wanted all her attention, no questions asked right at hello. Over her stay in our home with our pups she did all the things we would do with them if not more since all her focus was on them for the weekend. I would definitely recommend Pamela to other and would love to have her back again. I came home to happy and content pups.”
“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!”
“Rebecca was the best! She was so flexible in meeting me to drop off/pick up my dog, and I could tell that my dog loved spending time with her. She was smiling and wagging her tail when I picked her up and I know she had the best time. She sent photos throughout her stay and kept me in the loop. If I ever need someone to watch Willow again I know who to contact. Thank you!”
“Rylee was welcomed and taken great care of. Leaving her with others is a big deal for us, Arie, Leigh and the kids took great care of her. They sent us pics and updates over the weekend, we felt very safe with her there.”
“Ruby was excited and enjoyed staying with Madison. She did not appear to be at all anxious when we dropped her off, or when we picked her up. Often Ruby is initially uncomfortable and worried during her first stay, but that was not the case. We will definitely schedule her stay with Madison in the future!”
