All you need to know is that Angel’s ears perk up when we tell her she is going to stay with Scott and Sarah. They take very good care of her and ease the guilt of me being away because, to Angel, it’s a treat.

Whitney is amazing! She was so sweet to our high energy dog, took her on lots of walks, spent lots of time outside with her, and even ran with her! We would use her again without hesitation!! Seeing fun pics of our puppy everyday while we were away was so reassuring that she was in great hands!! Thanks Whitney!!

Desirae was amazing to work with. Our 12 year old English Mastiff was very well cared for. There was clear communication and several updates throughout her stay, which we appreciated so much. I cannot say enough good things about Desirae’s attentiveness and care for our pup. We would absolutely request her services again.

She also sent pictures and videos periodically. Walter had a good time while staying with Jenesis and adjusted well to being back at home. I would recommend Jenesis to anyone who asked.

Jordan was amazing. In her profile she mentions last-minute options & that saved our last minute trip. I'm new to Rover & expected people's availability was accurate but over a dozen people provided bad info. She accepted hours before we dropped our dog with her. She was kind & brought my dog on errands & Starbucks for a pup cup.😂 Her location is super convenient driving from Arlington to 81 on 66. She has a few children that loved playing with Opal. She didn't introduce her dog with ours which is fine. Would definitely reach out again if we go that way.

Rebekah was so wonderful with our puppy. She asked us what we needed her to do with him in terms of feeding, sleeping, and potty breaks and then went above and beyond that by making sure he had more than enough outside time, playing with other dogs, and working on training him to sit, stay, lay etc. She also kept us very updated on how our puppy was doing. If we could give Rebekah more stars than five, we would!

About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!

Heather is absolutely amazing! We’ve never left one of our dogs with anyone outside of family and it was so nice to see they had a blast and made themselves feel right at home. She is flexible, quick response time and has plenty of room for our dogs to run and play, also meeting some new friends with their dogs. We will keep our dogs going to Heather anytime we leave town and she is available.

I highly recommend Darian to take care of your pets! I needed someone reliable, and on very short notice, to take care of my precious skittish cat for three weeks. Darian did a wonderful job tending to all my cat's needs, and she accomplished the amazing by quickly getting my suspicious, standoffish cat to allow her to pet her! Darian also went the extra mile of cleaning up the floor several times when my cat coughed up hairballs and had other tummy issues. Darian had not taken care of my pet before, but she stepped in like a pro and took care of her, and kept tabs on my house as well. As I said at first, I highly recommend Darian for your pet!

About: Hello all! I’d love to help you with your pet care needs. I have had pets most of my life, and am the current owner of a 3 year old chihuahua mix, and an 12 year old chocolate point siamese. I started using Rover over the summer a few years ago and have had so many amazing clients! It has also been a great experience when it comes to socializing my young pup. Before using Rover, I took care of family members pets and would find my own boarding, dog walking and drop in clients. I currently do pet sitting in addition to my full time job. I work for a high school so I get plenty of dates off including winter, spring and summer breaks. During these times I’d be home full time. Otherwise, Monday-Friday I care for the dogs when I wake up, go to work, come home and continue their care. That’s pretty much all I do. I have a fenced yard that gives my boarders (as well as my pup) plenty of room to run and play! Boarders stay on the main level of my house and are allowed on furniture, unless discouraged by owners. You are more than welcome to bring anything you think would make your pet more comfortable during their stay (ex. Beds, crates, favor toys or treats). If you crate your dog/s at night or while no one is home, I will do the same. I work full time but can balance your pets needs with my schedule. They will have a morning routine of going outside to potty and eating before I head to work. I often leave a tv on for them and I also have cameras to keep an eye on them while away. When I return home, they will have free roam from being inside to going out to the fenced yard to play and explore whenever they would like. I’ll feed again in the evenings (based on your feeding instruction of course) and eventually tuck them in for bed. :) For boarding, your pet will have access to my fenced in backyard where they can play and explore. When I’m away from the house, I can crate your pet upon your request. I leave it up to the owner! Your pet will be boarded on my main level. I NEVER leave pets outside and unattended while away from the house.

About: Hi, I'm Sara@ My passion is raising confident, well-socialized family dogs through positive reinforcement, structure, and enrichment. Dogs in my care are treated like family and stay in a home environment—not a kennel. I intentionally keep my capacity small so every dog receives individual attention, exercise, play, and plenty of affection. I have experience raising and training high-energy sporting breeds and especially enjoy working with puppies and adolescent dogs. Whether your pup is learning house manners, building confidence, or simply needs a safe and loving place to stay, my goal is to provide a positive experience that supports their development. My home includes children, which helps puppies learn appropriate interactions in a family setting. Safety, communication, and consistency are my top priorities, and you'll receive regular updates and photos while your dog is in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dedicated dog owner, my days already revolve around feeding schedules, exercise, training, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Dogs in my care are treated like members of the family and are integrated into our daily routine rather than being left alone for long periods. I prioritize structured exercise, supervised play, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement training throughout the day. Because I intentionally keep my capacity limited, I can provide personalized care and ensure each dog receives the attention, consistency, and companionship they deserve. When pets stay in my home, they are cared for as part of the family in a safe, structured, and supervised environment. I follow each pet's normal feeding schedule, potty routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, enrichment activities, rest time, and affection. Because I keep my capacity limited, I am able to provide individualized care rather than a crowded kennel experience. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. For drop-in visits or care in a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and ensuring the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care while treating every pet as if they were my own

Brandy did a great job watching our dog Summer for the day! She provided us updates and pics all through the day, providing us extra reassurance that Summer was having a good time and settling in nicely. We will definitely reach out to Brandy again the next time we bring Summer down to Massanutten!

About: Dogs have always been part of our life and are treated as a member of the family. When in our house the dogs are allowed on furniture and we will treat them as they were our dog. We welcome calls to check up on your animal while they are staying with us. We will give them plenty of attention and someone will be around in the house to make sure they are doing well. We look forward to having your animal stay will us and giving them attention while they are here. We can even send you pictures or videos while you are gone to see how they are enjoying their stay. I am retired as a special education teacher and enjoy animals. Last year I lost my dog Sammy who was 19 years old and look forward to being with dogs. Our family treats pets like part of our family. We like to spend time with them and interact in the house as well as outside.

About: I started my journey with dogs 4 years ago and have not looked back enjoying every moment since. I am a certified trainer who loves improving the relationship between human and dog. We have a dog yard plus 5 acres. All dogs stay in our extra bedroom, which is now considered the dog room. I personally have two dogs, a cattle dog and a husky mix. They are both very social with all other dogs. We like to have a good time here but I keep a very safe environment for the dogs, no fighting or picking on one another. NO DOG IS TURNED AWAY. If you think your dog is aggressive, I can and will evaluate them so that if possible, we will get them socializing with their own kind and having a great time. Thanks, have a good day! I train dogs for a living so I stay at my house 7 days a week besides when I work with clients and those lessons tend to run about an hour but no more than 2 hours! I have 9 years experience running my own kennel and have two dogs with a large fence so there will be no boredom here! I do prefer to kennel dogs for the night but as we get comfortable with each other they will start to earn more freedom! Pet care is my full time job and i wouldn’t have it any other way, it has been a blessing. I hope I can help make your schedule less stressful! While you’re away, let your dogs play! I have a five foot fenced in dog yard specifically for dogs. We also have another 5 acres that we will walk all client dogs on during their stay with us.-

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I genuinely love being around pets and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, outdoor playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having calm companionship, I’m happy to match their needs and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention and affection they deserve. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have a more flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship to the pets I care for. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and love making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available throughout the day and always aim to provide pets with a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m very attentive when it comes to following feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, crate schedules, and any extra instructions or preferences owners may have outside of basic care needs. In my own home, I make sure pets have plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and opportunities to feel relaxed and comfortable. I also keep multiple leash sizes available to safely accommodate different dogs and walking needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines while making sure pets receive consistent care, affection, exercise, and companionship. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom grandma or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease

Rebekah was so wonderful with our puppy. She asked us what we needed her to do with him in terms of feeding, sleeping, and potty breaks and then went above and beyond that by making sure he had more than enough outside time, playing with other dogs, and working on training him to sit, stay, lay etc. She also kept us very updated on how our puppy was doing. If we could give Rebekah more stars than five, we would!

About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!
