“Amber was a great host to our fur baby! When we dropped him off, it was like we didn’t exist! lol He had already established a connection. We also loved that Amber wanted to meet with us first which meant a lot. Overall, her communication was great, we got pictures along his stay and he gained a friend!”
“I have to be very picky when choosing sitters as one pup has separation anxiety and will not stay with just anyone. I have had many issues with past sitters being dishonest and not following my guidance but I HIGHLY recommend Tanine!!! I have two very high energy pups (golden doodle and lab). She kept me updated, good and bad, and made sure to give my pup his meds with enough time for them to be effective prior to crating. She ensured to make them as comfortable as possible through the day and I truly appreciate her level of care. I specifically chose her due to the training background and I am so glad I followed through though there were not many reviews. I did not have to ask for pictures or updates throughout. She has small children that seem to love dogs so I know my pups received comfort as they love children. She is a gem! To have the patience and be willing to work with us through his anxiety is not something you find in all Rover sitters. Glad to have finally found a permanent option!”
“Julie was very friendly and took very good care of Volt. She was very responsive and sent pictures and updates frequently. Volt seems to have really liked her and her pets. Will definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for boarding their pets.”
“Stephanie was wonderful! Took care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures throughout her stay. She looked happy and well taken care of the entire time! Would definitely book with Stephanie again”
“Once again Kathryn was fabulous with our little Yogi. We can tell that he likes staying with her as he gets excited when we drop him off. She always keeps us updated during the booking and continues to send photographs of him chilling throughout her house. In addition, she makes us aware of any issues faced and always comes up with fabulous ways of correcting those issues, like taking his pills and making sure he's comfortable. He has really grown comfortable with staying there and is not at all upset when we drop him off or pick him up. We are so happy to have found someone to care for our dog when we go away to gives him the same love and affection that we do. Keep up the great work Kathryn.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our sweet goldendoodle, Farley! Heather went above and beyond, caring for our old boy better than we could have ever imagined. She kept us updated with tons of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Farley was clearly loved, pampered, and treated like family. We will definitely be booking with Heather again—she’s the best!”
“Heather was great. We had good communication and felt very comfortable throughout the whole process. We also appreciated receiving photos during our pups stay. Our Sophie came home happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Bryan and Brooke were absolutely amazing! Thor, our Labrador Husky, had the absolute best time. They were communicative, sent pictures every single day and were just absolutely pleasant to coordinate with. I wish I had found them sooner, I will be using them exclusively from now on!”
“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!!”
“My Maggie always has a great time with Connie. I used to feel so guilty leaving Maggie every time I went on vacation but now she looks forward to it and it is a vacation for her as well. I highly recommend Connie. She sends multiple pictures everyday so you always know your doggie is safe and happy.”
“Lisa is a terrific Rover. She took care of our two girls a German Shepard and a senior Chihuahua. Lisa communicated with us daily and our dogs were able to have fun adventures making sure they were happy, safe and healthy. We hope to use Lisa for all our pet sitting needs. She is our 3rd state, 3rd Rover and the best.”
“Bodie absolutely loves the time he gets to spend with Cori and her family. He loves being treated as one of the family. Pixie can be a handful, especially when there’s another dog present, but Cori is able to handle her craziness with ease. Cori is very communicative during the stay and easy to work with. I always feel comfortable leaving the pups in her care.”
“She is wonderful, you can see in her eyes she loves every dog she takes care of. She treats them as family. It’s very heartwarming to meet someone like her to care for my doggy. We’ll be back! :)”
“Martisa's service was incredible and we're willing to use her services in the near future. Very compassionate with Sandy. Great walks and having the social connection towards my dog. Kudos to Martisa”
“Fantastic experience, Jennifer’s frequent updates and pictures allowed us to be able to relax and enjoy our vacation. Her dog Charlotte and our puppy played well together. Our puppy keeps asking to go back. Totally will use Jennifer again, and highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“We are so happy we found Laurie to take care of our 12 year old Aussie. After the initial meet and greet she was able to take him in for a few nights while we were on travel at the last minute. Laurie is super friendly and you can tell she really cares for the pets she’s watching. All of the other dogs that she watches were all really friendly as well and we are really grateful that’s he got a lot of playtime in her fenced in back yard. Laurie was also super communicative and sent multiple updates and pictures everyday which we really appreciated. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Yeny and Ray! They were wonderful with our Furbaby, Kyon. We received lots of sweet and funny photo updates that perfectly captured his personality. It’s clear he was well loved and cared for.. he misses them already! We’re looking forward to booking with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Debora was a wonderful sitter for our 2 cats! Very communicative and kind, and my shy kitties would greet her at the door. We will definitely be utilizing her services again!”
About: I’ve experienced cat ownership and caregiving since I can remember. From adapting to different temperaments, cleanup, and feeding neighborhood strays, I’ve been blessed with a well-rounded and fulfilling education in cat supervision.
“April is very easy to get along with and gave excellent care to our cat Miss Pepper. April sent me pictures of our feline at each visit and informed me of package deliveries. Upon my request she checked the water taps drip to ensure the water doesn’t freeze. I highly recommend her.”
“Matisa U was very friendly and took extreme care of our fur baby. She communicated well and sent pictures of Hazel during our time away from her. I feel that Hazel had a great time and enjoyed herself. I would definitely recommend Matisa to to my family and friends and will definitely return to her for her services. Thank you!”
“Trinity did an excellent job of looking after our fur babies while we were out of the house. Every part of the process leading up to her visit was easy. Excellent communication at all times. We highly recommend and will use her again in the future! Thanks so much for helping us!”
About: !! Please note: Because of my allergies, I cannot accept overnight house sittings for homes with cats, but I am fully available for standard 30-minute drop-ins!! I absolutely love cats and find them adorable, but I have a strong allergic sensitivity to cat dander that causes me to get itchy and break out in a rash if I am around them for too long. Because of this, I specialize strictly in quick, highly efficient 30-minute drop-in visits. I am happy to pop in to clean the litter box, put out fresh food and water, administer any quick treats, and give them some pets before washing my hands thoroughly and heading out. If your cat is independent and just needs someone reliable to ensure their essentials are taken care of down to the letter, I am your perfect match!
“This is our third time having Jessica over. She is very conscientious, responsive, prompt and responsible. She works hard to befriend our kitties even though they are not cooperative, and we appreciate that a lot! We feel very safe giving her access to our pets and our home! She is a blessing and we’re very thankful!”
“Aly was great to work with, very fast responses and made us feel totally comfortable leaving our dog knowing she would be stopping in to care for him. She updated me quickly to let me know how the visit went and how our pup was doing. We were first time users of Rover but based on our great experience with Aly, we will absolutely be using it again!”
“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!”
“Katie was very attentive, helpful, and took the absolute best care of our cats. She was very accommodating and asked any questions or concerns she may have which we really appreciated. We felt confident that our babies were well taken care of while we were gone. Would definitely recommend booking her.”
About: Ideally looking for repeat clients! I currently have NINE families I've watched for almost 10 years. A few longer. I love getting to know your babies and you! I feel, as a pet owner, it gives you more peace of mind. You know that your pet sitter actually knows your pets. Either if they're suddenly unhealthy, too tired for a long walk, urinating an unusual amount, etc. I've worked with animals since I was 15. Boarding facility for 15 years. Client Care Manager in the veterinary field for 12 years. Pet sitting started around 15. Used to multiple pets/species households. I have watched several horses, birds, guinea pigs, rats, etc. Love the only child, too! I'm "Auntie" to too many babies to name but I can! Most of my "nieces/nephews" have been patients, so I already know them. Those clients have brought me great referrals! I'm used to written instructions, labels, etc. Most of my current clients have me enter their home with keys, garage codes or security apps. I will probably send you too many pictures!!! I'm an open book! A meet and greet prior to staying in any home/caring for pets is ideal. It allows everyone to meet and go over any questions. I can water plants, bring mail inside, pull trash cans to their rightful place, if you wish. Dogs are my absolute FAVE! We can only have so many, right? So, let me spoil yours! If you need a week or two away, I'd be happy to be your adopted Auntie for your fur babies! If you just need someone to offer enriched walks or play time. I'm your person! IF you live within 30 mins of me, your pets won't be alone longer than 2-4hrs, unless you state otherwise. If you live 45+mins away, please be aware your pets may be alone up to 4-6 hours as I have daily priorities. I occasionally help my mother in law. This will sometimes mean I can't offer services to clients further away due to time. My dog has PICA. Therefore, I am very diligent in keeping everything put away while in your home! I will adhere to your routine to the absolute best of my ability!
About: My first cat was named Jasper. He was a tiger stripe American shorthair with Jasper colored eyes (hence his name). He was a stray we took in, and we noticed he had a slight limp. After a visit to the vet, and some x-rays were taken, it was clear his left hip had been injured when he was younger (vet approximated his age to be 10 at the time). I cared for him while he had his cone, after his leg was amputated (poor guy!), ensuring he received the proper medications on time. My second cat was an all-black stray (not sure his breed), but I named him Kuro. I had him for a year and some change and gave him to my friend after moving to a pet-free community. I missed having a cat, so I searched and found Naruto, who was only 10 days old, and I adopted him on the spot! I've taught him all his little quirks, including back-talking lol! I trained him to come at the sound of a particular whistle, to jump up on something after I tap, or scrape it in a certain pattern, and taught him to play fetch! I am able to administer medications Intravenous, or Sub-q, as well as advise on best care practices!

“Amber was absolutely excellent! My husband and I were able to run errands and spend time together outside our home in peace knowing Rocky was in good hands. We received frequent video and picture updates and Rocky looked to be right at home. Thank you so much Amber for everything!”
“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: Hello! My husband trained K9s in the military and was a police K9 handler in a local jurisdiction here in Virginia. Once his K9 retired we adopted him for good and made him part of our family forever! We also have a small fluffy puppy that my kids adore! They play with the German Shepherd and snuggle with the Puppy. I was a police officer for nine years until I retired to enjoy my kids when they were little. I have always had a dog and have been the main care taker for them for years. I also help care for my sisters elderly boxer, he is about the most high maintenance dog we know, but we love him anyway! :) We recently went on vacation and were astonished at not only the prices for boarding our dog but really the overall lack of care for them while they were there, this inspired me to look for other pet care options and I found Rover! I am excited to help families looking for affordable pet care!
“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!”
“We could not have found a more loving and caring person to watch our Twinkle. Jessie went above and beyond making sure Twinkle felt confortable from day one. We met with her prior to our trip so Twinkle would be comfortable with her and her family as well as the house. When we dropped her she felt right at home. Jessie sent us updates and many pictures of Twinkle during her stay and we knew she was getting all the love and care she needed. Twinkle had a tumor removed a couple weeks before our trip and Jessie even did us the favor of talking her to the vet to get her bandage changed and took good care of her foot. Twinkle was so happy there that when I went to pick her up she was in no hurry to go home and went back to her bed! Your dog will be very happy in Jessie’s care. She also only takes a max of 2 dogs so your dog will be getting all the needed attention. We will definitely have Jessie watch Twinkle on our next trip or when we leave for a long day! Thank you Jessie. We are so glad we found you. Twinkle loves you.”
“Ligia did a good job caring for my two dogs in their doggie day care stay. Does a good job of slowly introducing new dogs to each other and respecting if certain dogs don't want to play with others. Her house and yard are set up in a way that allows her to separate animals, if needed. She communicated well with me and was available at the agreed upon times. We will be booking with her again in the future.”
“⸻ 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’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years. I have experiences with dogs/cats, rodents, farm animals, etc. I grew up around horses and all sorts of other animals and I love them all! I currently have one dog who is the biggest goof and I absolutely adore him. I am currently pregnant so a little extra exercise on walks will never hurt! I enjoy all the cuddles and kisses as well! I love all animals as if they are my own! I’ve also recently been loving going on hikes or a trip to the dog park…if that’s something your fur baby would be interested in I would love for them to join me! I am able to take your pets on walks, run them around a fenced in yard or even just play tug of war in the house! I am comfortable crating animals, administering meds or anything else they might need!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats. I offer walking, sitting, and overnight stays with lots of love and attention. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s a walk or a weekend stay, your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for! I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to plan my days around pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and overnight stays throughout the week. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them safe and comfortable. In your home, I respect your space and stick to all care instructions. At my home, pets can enjoy a large yard and a small fenced area for safe outdoor time. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I have had pets all my life. Right now I have a rescue dog from China and another dog I just adopted from the culpeper shelter! I have 2 cats as well.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have been a proud dog owner since I was a young kid. I know exactly what it takes to keep a pup happy and healthy. In addition to raising my own dogs, I have extensive experience caring for others' pets. I regularly host family friends' dogs, have completed overnight house sittings (including 3+ night stays), and frequently manage dog walking schedules. Because my own dog at home prefers to be an 'only child,' I do not offer boarding at my house—meaning your dog gets 100% of my attention right in the comfort of their own familiar environment. (Please note: I do not care for cats due to allergies!). I am a recent college graduate spending my summer strictly focused on studying for my medical school entrance exams. Because my entire schedule consists of independent laptop study, I treat house sitting as my personal, quiet study retreat. Your dog will be my primary focus! I love using my study breaks to get outside, stretch my legs, and take your pup for long, refreshing walks. I am home for the vast majority of the day, making my schedule flexible and reliable. I know how important it is to feel secure leaving your home and pet in someone else's hands. I am clean, quiet, and extremely respectful of your space. While watching your pup, I follow their exact routine down to the letter to keep their stress levels low. I maintain an eagle-eye view on safety during walks, keeping dogs securely on-leash and away from unknown animals. Plus, I love sending regular photo and text updates so you have total peace of mind while you're away!
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.
About: I've consistently had at least one cat and dog in my household at all times, if not two! I took Small Animal Care 1&2 in high-school. Durring summer breaks I went to horse camp where we learned how to safely handle, ride, and groom horses. I occasionally take care of my neighbors chickens when they go on vacation. I am currently working part-time and my schedule is made on a monthly basis. I'm available most weekends and weekdays after 1pm. Can do early mornings and late potty breaks. The house I live in has a large front yard and a larger backyard. It is unfenced but in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for walking
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.
“We feel very fortunate to have met Shannon, she's wonderful! Reliable, trust worthy, and full of great energy. She always takes her time with our doggo and makes each visit special. Also, we very much appreciate her professional background in both firefighting and emergency medical services as it speaks to her general character and mindset, and provides us peace-of-mind that if an emergency situation were to occur, our boy is in the best hands possible.”

“I have to be very picky when choosing sitters as one pup has separation anxiety and will not stay with just anyone. I have had many issues with past sitters being dishonest and not following my guidance but I HIGHLY recommend Tanine!!! I have two very high energy pups (golden doodle and lab). She kept me updated, good and bad, and made sure to give my pup his meds with enough time for them to be effective prior to crating. She ensured to make them as comfortable as possible through the day and I truly appreciate her level of care. I specifically chose her due to the training background and I am so glad I followed through though there were not many reviews. I did not have to ask for pictures or updates throughout. She has small children that seem to love dogs so I know my pups received comfort as they love children. She is a gem! To have the patience and be willing to work with us through his anxiety is not something you find in all Rover sitters. Glad to have finally found a permanent option!”
“Julie was very friendly and took very good care of Volt. She was very responsive and sent pictures and updates frequently. Volt seems to have really liked her and her pets. Will definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for boarding their pets.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our sweet goldendoodle, Farley! Heather went above and beyond, caring for our old boy better than we could have ever imagined. She kept us updated with tons of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Farley was clearly loved, pampered, and treated like family. We will definitely be booking with Heather again—she’s the best!”
“Heather was great. We had good communication and felt very comfortable throughout the whole process. We also appreciated receiving photos during our pups stay. Our Sophie came home happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Bryan and Brooke were absolutely amazing! Thor, our Labrador Husky, had the absolute best time. They were communicative, sent pictures every single day and were just absolutely pleasant to coordinate with. I wish I had found them sooner, I will be using them exclusively from now on!”
“My Maggie always has a great time with Connie. I used to feel so guilty leaving Maggie every time I went on vacation but now she looks forward to it and it is a vacation for her as well. I highly recommend Connie. She sends multiple pictures everyday so you always know your doggie is safe and happy.”
“Lisa is a terrific Rover. She took care of our two girls a German Shepard and a senior Chihuahua. Lisa communicated with us daily and our dogs were able to have fun adventures making sure they were happy, safe and healthy. We hope to use Lisa for all our pet sitting needs. She is our 3rd state, 3rd Rover and the best.”
“Bodie absolutely loves the time he gets to spend with Cori and her family. He loves being treated as one of the family. Pixie can be a handful, especially when there’s another dog present, but Cori is able to handle her craziness with ease. Cori is very communicative during the stay and easy to work with. I always feel comfortable leaving the pups in her care.”
“Martisa's service was incredible and we're willing to use her services in the near future. Very compassionate with Sandy. Great walks and having the social connection towards my dog. Kudos to Martisa”
“Fantastic experience, Jennifer’s frequent updates and pictures allowed us to be able to relax and enjoy our vacation. Her dog Charlotte and our puppy played well together. Our puppy keeps asking to go back. Totally will use Jennifer again, and highly recommend her.”
“We are so happy we found Laurie to take care of our 12 year old Aussie. After the initial meet and greet she was able to take him in for a few nights while we were on travel at the last minute. Laurie is super friendly and you can tell she really cares for the pets she’s watching. All of the other dogs that she watches were all really friendly as well and we are really grateful that’s he got a lot of playtime in her fenced in back yard. Laurie was also super communicative and sent multiple updates and pictures everyday which we really appreciated. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Yeny and Ray! They were wonderful with our Furbaby, Kyon. We received lots of sweet and funny photo updates that perfectly captured his personality. It’s clear he was well loved and cared for.. he misses them already! We’re looking forward to booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Leslie is incredibly kind and attentive. She took my dog out for a lot of exercise, and kept him happy and safe while I was away. She provided plenty of photos and video updates and followed instructions to a T. She has a big backyard and comfortable looking house in a quiet neighborhood. My dog is usually pretty shy and can take a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he was right at home with Leslie. I would definitely recommend her to others, and plan to book with her again in the future.”
“Sarah and Jacob are so great! Duncan loves going to their house. Sarah and Jacob are so reliable and communication with them is seamless. We will always have Sarah and Jacob watch our pup.”
“Rebecca was awesome and gave me updates while I was away for a 3 day trip. Took great care of Bandit and easily warmed up to her ! Will rebook again soon ! Thank you !🙏”
