“Jenesis was so good with Sasha and I felt comfortable with her care of her and grateful for the communication and pictures sent during our time away. I would recommend her highly.”
“Kalley was amazing!! I needed a new sitter as my previous sitter stopped doing in-home boarding, and Kalley was phenomenal. She was very attentive and kept me updated daily on how Marley was doing via text and pictures. I knew he was extremely comfortable in her home which really put me at ease. Thank you Kalley to you and your family for taking such good care of Marley!”
“Jo is amazing!! She took both Hadley and CeeCee for the long weekend and they were very well taken care of. CeeCee is a little old lady who is very fearful and needy and she looked happy, well fed, well rested and loved in all of the pictures Jo sent! Hadley absolutely loves Jo and Cricket and he also came home happy!”
“Danielle and her crew were great! She was very responsive to my messages and was able to watch my doggo on very short notice. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. If you're ever in Harrisonburg, choose her!”
“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.”
“Our German Shepherd loved his stay. He was much more relaxed than in a kennnell with all the walks and one on one special treatment in a calm, quiet and spacious house with a fenced in back yard. I loved how caring they were and what terrific questions they asked ahead of time.”
“Kahlua seemed to have a fun time with Kara and her family. She got to play in the yard and come in during the hot day. She sent pictures and video updates whoch I always appreciate. I will be reaching out next time I need a sitter😊”
“Scott and Sarah are excellent hosts. Our dogs, Rosie and Roger, loved staying with them, so much so, they didn't seems to want to come home. Scott and Sarah have the perfect accommodations for hosting pets, nice outdoor space and their home is very welcoming to pets. Scott and Sarah were very accommodating when we had to change drop off time and pick up time at the last minute. Rosie and Roger will be back soon for another stay.”
About: Hello, my name is Cav and I am a professional dog trainer and K9 handler with extensive experience working with all breeds in high-standard kennel and training environments. I have experience working with complex nutritional needs, medical requirements, and individualized care plans for dogs of every age and temperament. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and nurturing environment that serves as a trusted extension of your home. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your dog’s specific requirements in detail and to develop a personalized care program tailored to their needs. All dogs are cared for all day with multiple opportunities to play outside, go on walks around our 5 acres and play with other dogs depending on temperament. Dogs will receive multiple break times throughout the day, averaging every hour to 2 hours and can spend as much time outside as they would like with a fully fenced in dog specific area. Pictures will be sent each night of boarding around 7pm and once per day of day care. 30 mins of structured exercise daily is included in all boarding and we strive to make your dogs feel right at home. I have a full fenced in dog specific area that directly connects to my basement setup where dogs will have the ability to spend time out of kennels and play with other well mannered dogs if you would like. I am available any day of the week with preferably a day notice and around most holidays as we do not travel for most throughout the year. All dogs are monitored by cameras 24/7 while in the kennels and outside play area as well as tracked by GPS collars any time they are outside. Please message me with any questions and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
“Jon and his family were very gracious hosts for our furry family member. He was very thorough in asking about our beagle’s needs and provided all necessities for a successful stay: crate, bed, fenced yard, and lots of play and spoiling! It was comforting knowing that it was more of a retreat for our dog than boarding, and Jon went above and beyond to make things easy and successful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his hands and will be return customers! Thanks!”
“Miss Valley had an amazing time with Diane and her family. She enjoyed nice walks with her kids and seemed as though she really enjoyed her time with Diane. Diane communicated daily on how she was doing and sent photos as well. I will definitely be rebooking with Diane again!”
“Very Sweet, Gave periodic updates, And Charlie enjoyed her company so much that he didn’t wanna go home. LOL. She had very loving children that were very good with Charlie. Charlie will certainly go back the next time I go on a trip. I would recommend, Plus she is affordable”
About: I'm friendly with all kinds of pets, both kitties and doggos, I have a very peaceful home very welcoming to new critters. Plenty of room to run around and exercise. Currently working part-time for the summer, can easily give your fur baby's the attention they need whenever you're busy or out of town. Plenty of space behind the house to get them lots of exercise. Hardwood floors and a big grassy yard with a field behind the house. Very easy to walk super quiet neighborhood. Also have the ability to create your pets if necessary.
“Our dog Jasper loves Brandy! She does a great job if communicating and sending pictures. She's always willing to be flexible and answer questions even after our doggie has left her care! We will continue to have her care for our dog whenever we can't take him with us.”
“Millie had a great time. Pamela was very communicative and was understanding when my travel plans changed. Received photos and videos the whole time I was gone. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“Michael was great with our corgi, Bentley, while we were gone for the day. He arrived when we'd asked, spent time with Bentley, & sent photos. I will definitely use Michael again if he's willing!”
“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!”
“Megan is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel extra loved when we are out of town. We hope to continue to use Megan in the future.”

“Nikita showed his skills as a dog handler from literally the moment he walked in, greeting the shy dog so skillfully that she happily went right up to him to say hi. He was great with rambunctious Duncan and my very energetic young puppy Holly, managing to keep them playing safely together until they were tired enough to give me a few hours of peace before they recharge their energy. I'll definitely book Nikita again!”

“Kendyl is great and we really appreciate how well she takes care of Rosie. She watched her for a few hours on short notice. Rosie has separation issues but Kendyl always manages to calm her down and make her feel at home. Thanks again, Kendyl!”
“Anatoliy was able to accommodate a last minute booking. She was very communicative and my bassets were comfortable. My boys were in great hands and I plan on using her in the future when we are in the area again.”
“Jenesis was amazing! She made sure to take extra care of my pup and make her feel at ease while I was away. She was flexible with my late evening pick up time and even watched my dog longer than I had originally asked/needed her to. Please book with her if you need a sitter!!”
“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 !!”
“This was the second time our dog Summer stayed with Brandy and she had a great time hanging out and going for walks with Brandy and her dog Bodhi. We have found our go-to doggy day care provider for our occasional trips to Massanutten! Thanks, Brandy!”

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: I've always had a love for animals and love working with them! I've grown up with dogs and love to be around them. My mom used to breed labs and I would help her socialize and take care of the puppies to prepare them for their new homes! My family always had at least six dogs at a time that I would help take care of as well! I also used to work for a kennel for almost two years, I have worked for a doggie daycare as well for about 2 years! I am currently enrolled in an online vet tech course and plan to finish that in the next year or so. I currently work a full time job 8-430 but am available weekends and would love to watch your pets!
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since birth and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm happy to care for your dog's general wellbeing, as well as to spoil them in your absence! I am a work-from-home High School teacher, so I am available 24/7 to spoil your dog! We have an invisible fence, but I'll leash your dog for backyard adventures. We love hiking and neighborhood walks, which I can schedule for your pet, per your preferences. I have 2 dogs, who can be separated from yours, as needed. I have .5 acres, surrounded by an invisible fence. Leashes are used on all walks and a doggie seat belt will be used in the event that we need to travel by car.
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. - I don’t know what a home is without a dog in it! I am the go-to sitter for family and friends and love to snuggle those little faces. I have experience crate training, potty training and administering oral meds. All dogs are different and I have loved and cared for each pet as an individual, in whatever way was best for him/her. I work at home full time during the week. I take my lunch breaks (and many other breaks!) outside with our puppy. On weekends, we relax together or go on adventures all together to the cabin. I have a fenced yard and 1 dog of my own to keep your pup lonely if he/she is homesick and missing you. I can crate at your request and love to play outside with them.
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: 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.

I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets for walks, playtime, and so much more! I am quite strong to be able to hold tightly onto a leash if your animal is leash reactive.

About: Hello, my name is Cav and I am a professional dog trainer and K9 handler with extensive experience working with all breeds in high-standard kennel and training environments. I have experience working with complex nutritional needs, medical requirements, and individualized care plans for dogs of every age and temperament. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and nurturing environment that serves as a trusted extension of your home. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your dog’s specific requirements in detail and to develop a personalized care program tailored to their needs. All dogs are cared for all day with multiple opportunities to play outside, go on walks around our 5 acres and play with other dogs depending on temperament. Dogs will receive multiple break times throughout the day, averaging every hour to 2 hours and can spend as much time outside as they would like with a fully fenced in dog specific area. Pictures will be sent each night of boarding around 7pm and once per day of day care. 30 mins of structured exercise daily is included in all boarding and we strive to make your dogs feel right at home. I have a full fenced in dog specific area that directly connects to my basement setup where dogs will have the ability to spend time out of kennels and play with other well mannered dogs if you would like. I am available any day of the week with preferably a day notice and around most holidays as we do not travel for most throughout the year. All dogs are monitored by cameras 24/7 while in the kennels and outside play area as well as tracked by GPS collars any time they are outside. Please message me with any questions and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
“Jon and his family were very gracious hosts for our furry family member. He was very thorough in asking about our beagle’s needs and provided all necessities for a successful stay: crate, bed, fenced yard, and lots of play and spoiling! It was comforting knowing that it was more of a retreat for our dog than boarding, and Jon went above and beyond to make things easy and successful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his hands and will be return customers! Thanks!”
