“Needed a dog sitter last minute and they took Zeus in as family once again no problem. He was around pigs, goats and other dogs; this is seriously dog heaven. So grateful to have found you guys!”
“Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.”
“Phillip, Took extra special care of our fur baby. Very professional and always responded promptly regarding the well being of dog. Highly recommended! Definitely 5 stars easliy..*****”
“5 stars! We were so lucky to find Heather! Our sweet doggy didn’t have a worry in the world because she was so well cared for! Heather and her crew are a blessing!”
“What can I say about Connie that hasn't already been said by all of her happy clients! Connie boarded our dog, Willow, for over two weeks during the holidays while we were out of town. During Willow's stay, we got photo updates everyday and Willow had such a great time playing with all the dogs! Nearing the end of Willow's stay, we were traveling back to VA and got hit with flight delays and cancellations so there was no way we'd be able to make it home in time for pick up. It was a very stressful situation for us, but Connie was incredibly understanding and flexible, and it felt so comforting to know that Willow was taken care of while we were handling all these other logistics of getting home. I cannot say enough about the peace of mind Connie provided us. When we finally made it back to Virginia, our area got hit with a snowstorm, which led to highway closures and loss of electricity over several days. It was truly one thing after another! Connie's priority at the time was everyone's safety so she kept Willow for an additional day until the roads were cleared. There are not enough words to describe Connie's high level of service and understanding. And as always, Willow was VERY tired and all played out by the time we finally got home! We are so grateful to Connie for helping us and will always, without hesitation, recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“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. 🐾”
“Wonderful care for our Miss Etta James. Considerate n amazing family interactions.... loved how your family was so involved. Thanks n looking for Etta to stay w you again. Love Rhonda Garry n Miss Etta 💚☘️”
“Traci watched our big senior boy for a week previously so when we had another week long trip, we knew Leo would be in good hands with her! Traci is very thoughtful and made sure Leo was comfortable, despite him being anxious being away from his family. She provided lots of updates and photos and we felt happy knowing that Leo was in good hands. Thanks so much, Traci!”
“Larissa was absolutely amazing! I am a very protective dog mom and don't normally leave my Stink with anyone. Based off other's recommendations for Larissa, I gave her a try and she exceeded my expectations. She was very attentive and kept me updated with pictures, how he was doing throughout the day, etc. She catered to his needs and my anxiety. Lol I will 100% use her again. I'm actually looking forward to it.”
“Eldeen and her family are such wonderful pet people. Recently, I extended my vacation (an additional day) but forgot to update the time in Rover. Eldeen and her family were so understanding and allowed Mimi to stay an additional day as well. I am so happy I found someplace to send Mimi where she's happy and so am I. Great family!”

“I absolutely recommend Seyla for your Dog Boarding needs. He kept us informed of our baby's care everyday, and sent videos and pictures. I think he was better to our pup than we are, LOL! He took our baby to the water and sent us a video of the trip. Smokey looked so happy and full of excitement. Seyla will be re-booked again and again by us. Excellent Dog Care provider!”
“Amber did an excellent job watching Bella! She made her feel right at home. She updated me several times of her well being and what the plan was for the day. I would definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“Crystal is amazing sitter! Our pup loved staying with her for 2 weeks. We were getting daily updates on our dog with pictures and videos, Crystal is always responsive, willing to give any information asked, very nice and friendly person!

When I was very young my sister and I started a dog walking company throughout our neighborhood, so I guess you could say I have always loved being around dogs/animals. Throughout the years we have had all different types of animals from Nigerian Uromastyx Lizards to kitties/dogs and hamsters. I think that animals are very special because they stick with you through thick and thin. There is no better type of love than the love of an animal. Since we have had many animals throughout my life, I automatically know what to do if a certain situation arises (accidents, etc.). The little things are whats most important to me when I am with my animals. Hanging out, watching tv, or just simply being in their presence is enough for me. My family and I love animals and they all hold a special place in our hearts as I’m sure they do for you too!

“Needed a dog sitter last minute and they took Zeus in as family once again no problem. He was around pigs, goats and other dogs; this is seriously dog heaven. So grateful to have found you guys!”
“Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.”
“Phillip, Took extra special care of our fur baby. Very professional and always responded promptly regarding the well being of dog. Highly recommended! Definitely 5 stars easliy..*****”

“What can I say about Connie that hasn't already been said by all of her happy clients! Connie boarded our dog, Willow, for over two weeks during the holidays while we were out of town. During Willow's stay, we got photo updates everyday and Willow had such a great time playing with all the dogs! Nearing the end of Willow's stay, we were traveling back to VA and got hit with flight delays and cancellations so there was no way we'd be able to make it home in time for pick up. It was a very stressful situation for us, but Connie was incredibly understanding and flexible, and it felt so comforting to know that Willow was taken care of while we were handling all these other logistics of getting home. I cannot say enough about the peace of mind Connie provided us. When we finally made it back to Virginia, our area got hit with a snowstorm, which led to highway closures and loss of electricity over several days. It was truly one thing after another! Connie's priority at the time was everyone's safety so she kept Willow for an additional day until the roads were cleared. There are not enough words to describe Connie's high level of service and understanding. And as always, Willow was VERY tired and all played out by the time we finally got home! We are so grateful to Connie for helping us and will always, without hesitation, recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Traci watched our big senior boy for a week previously so when we had another week long trip, we knew Leo would be in good hands with her! Traci is very thoughtful and made sure Leo was comfortable, despite him being anxious being away from his family. She provided lots of updates and photos and we felt happy knowing that Leo was in good hands. Thanks so much, Traci!”
“Larissa was absolutely amazing! I am a very protective dog mom and don't normally leave my Stink with anyone. Based off other's recommendations for Larissa, I gave her a try and she exceeded my expectations. She was very attentive and kept me updated with pictures, how he was doing throughout the day, etc. She catered to his needs and my anxiety. Lol I will 100% use her again. I'm actually looking forward to it.”

We were getting daily updates on our dog with pictures and videos, Crystal is always responsive, willing to give any information asked, very nice and friendly person! Sparkle got along with her immediately at meet and greet, and had a good time whole boarding time. Definitely will book with Crystal again in the future!”
“Lorena did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of state for 6 days. Ellie looked happy in the photos and made herself at home. We definitely recommend Lorena and would use her services again.”
“Christie was thoughtful and ensured the safety of all of the pets that were in her care the week we boarded our dog. She did meets and greets with the pets and owners so everyone was comfortable. When we dropped our dog off she was excited to be there and couldn't wait to go in. Our dog enjoyed her time at Christie's. Christie provided videos of the dogs playing.”
“Marah provided exceptional care for our Kion. Kion instantly connected with her and her family. Throughout his stay, Marah kept us updated with regular messages and photos. She treated Kion as if he were her own, showering him with the same love, cuddles, and attention he receives at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend Marah for anyone in need of a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.
