“💕 Warm & Heartfelt Tara took such wonderful care of Peanut while I was away. I could tell right away that she treated her with so much love and attention. She and her family cared for my dog with so much love, as if Peanut were her own. Her kids were also so sweet and played so nicely with Peanut — it really made her stay extra special. She even surprised us with an adorable elephant toy and cookies for Peanut to take home, which was incredibly thoughtful. Peanut came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I feel so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust, and I would definitely recommend Tara to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter”
“Scott and Sarah take excellent care of our dog, who clearly loves and feels comfortable with them. It makes being away from our pup easier knowing she is safe and happy.”
“Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with. We did an initial visit then she agreed to watch on the spot. April, her dog, is amazing as well. We will definitely go with her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Our two Goldens are very big babies so of course we were nervous to leave them. We did a meet & greet with Dana a few months before our stay and felt very confident that they would be okay staying with her. They did have a great weekend with Dana! She sent us lots of videos and pictures during their stay and they received first class treatment from her. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing she was treating them like they were her own. They arrived to stay with a stranger but definitely left with a new best friend!”
“I am so grateful we found Beth through a friend's suggestion. We planned a family trip to Europe and needed a sitter for our Labrador for two weeks. Beth and her family took Luna into their home and treated her like family. Beth sent us pictures of Luna enjoying life and how she was interacting w their dog and children. After our trip, Beth even brought Luna back to the house for us. I could tell Luna loved Beth and was happy! I highly recommend Beth to take great care of you beloved furry family members!”
“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”
“Pamela was a pleasure to book with. She is responsive when I reached out with questions, gave regular updates, and gave our pup extra love and playtime with other pup/kitty friends. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Ruth was so awesome and sweet! I could have not asked for a better person to watch my pup! My Dully was so happy and I got a bunch of photos of him having so much fun. Definitely recommend and will be going back to her every time☺️”
“Kalley was a fantastic pet sitter. She took such great care of my pup, and treated him as though he were one of their own. Highly, highly recommended if you are looking for a caring, positive environment for your pet while you are away. She sent pictures nearly every day with updates on how he was doing. Thank you Kalley! We will definitely reach out to you next time we have a need for pet sitting! ?”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Leah and Christopher for dog sitting! Finn felt right at home and loved running around their fenced yard. They were very helpful wi the my changing schedule and sent lots of pix of Finn! We will definitely ask to come back!”
“Magda was amazing! She was flexible and accommodating to me when my plans had to change and she put me at ease knowing that my doggo would still be taken care of. I will definitely be booking with her again and I recommend that you should too!”
“Jessica truly went above and beyond while taking care of our dog Frank! She provided many updates and pictures and we knew he was in great care! She is amazing with dogs and would absolutely use her again!”
“Bella did a phenomenal job watching Luna. We were in need of new overnight boarding arrangements and we hit the jackpot finding her. We organized a meet and greet before our pup stayed with her so Luna was very comfortable coming back to stay for the weekend. We received many videos and pictures updates during her stay.. putting our hearts and minds at ease while we enjoyed our trip our of town. I highly recommend her and we will be rebooking in the near future! Thank you for caring for Luna like your own family!”

“Katie watched our cat and did some house sitting for several days, and she did an amazing job! She sent picture updates that gave me so much peace of mind, and he was clearly happy, playful, and well cared for. She followed all his routines, kept everything tidy, and was great at communicating. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!! 10/10!”
“Anastasia is great! My kitties love her. I feel comfortable having her coming home to watch over them. She is responsible and always comes on time and send me videos and pictures of the them in every visit. I’d recommend her:)”
“Thank you for the last min booking. We wouldn't have been able to go on our family trip without you. You were awesome with our diabetic cat given her skittishness with strangers and temperamental attitude. Thank you for the constant communication and photos as well.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Kate! I grew up with cats and have had at least one cat in my household at all times for my entire life. I have extensive experience with diabetic cats, including administering insulin injections, and have cared for elderly cats necessitating multiple visits per day. In my experience, cats can identify cat people, and I have been able to quickly and consistently gain the trust of even very standoffish cats. As a cat parent myself, I know leaving your fur babies can be worrying, so my goal is to alleviate that. I provide consistent updates and spend extra time giving pets, playtime, and making sure every cat feels loved and cared for while their parent is away. I would love to meet your kitties and hope to provide a great experience for both you and your cat!
About: I love animals. I will take the best care of your pet. I'm fine with handling aggressive ones and bigger dogs too. I've taken care of animals all my life, so you can travel without a worry. Right now I'm open any day and time. I can overnight stay and house sit as well. I'm a fan of cats and other animals too. I'll follow your instructions to the letter. I will always call for questions and not assume something on your property. I'm fine with taking videos and pictures
“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.”
About: Hey there, fellow cat parent! 😺 We all dream of that getaway—whether it’s a beach week, family visit, or just some well-deserved “me time”—but the second we think about leaving our cats behind, the guilt kicks in. Taking them along usually isn’t an option, so what’s next? I’ve been there. I’ve dropped my own cats off at those big pet hotels and walked away feeling… off. The staff would scoop them up, plop them in a kennel, and that was it. No extra snuggles, no playtime, no “Hey, how’s my buddy doing?” vibes. It felt like they were just checking a box, not loving on someone’s family member. After one too many of those experiences, I started asking a friend to swing by the house once a day. It was better than the hotel—sort of—but let’s be real: friends mean well, but they don’t always stick to the exact routine, scoop the box the way you like, or give the level of attention your cat craves. That’s exactly why I started this. No more impersonal kennels where your cat just sits and waits. No more crossing your fingers that your friend actually shows up and remembers the wet food. Instead, your cats stay in a cozy, home-like space with someone who genuinely gets it—another total cat-obsessed human who will give them chin scratches, play laser pointer Olympics, talk to them like the little royalty they are, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. You get to travel with peace of mind. They get pampered like the VIPs they are. Win-win. 💕 Ready to give your crew the vacation they deserve (while you enjoy yours)? Let’s chat!
“Farrin was the zen to our panic when leaving our two cats for a trip for the first time. She was extremely calm and understanding, especially when concerning our cat with anxiety. She was patient, attentive and provided us with the feedback/support we needed to calm our nerves. Great service!”
About: I have three cats of my own and have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Over the years, I’ve looked after everything from playful kittens to senior cats with special medical requirements. I understand that cats often need time and patience to warm up to new people, and I always approach them with a calm, gentle demeanor to build trust at their pace. Whether your cat loves playtime, prefers quiet companionship, or needs specific feeding or medication routines, I’ll make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away. I also keep litter boxes clean, maintain feeding schedules, and provide enrichment based on each cat’s personality. I’ll send regular photo and text updates so you can feel confident that your feline friend is happy and in good hands. I provide services in Castleton, Amissville, Rixeyville, Little Washington, Warrenton, and Culpeper. I am willing to travel to other towns. I am negotiable with prices. Please feel free to reach out! I’d love to meet you and your fur babies!!

“Scott was fantastic for Cali. He provided her with all of her favorite things: fetch and water! They are located right at the base of old rag trail head and was perfect for my day hike up the mountain where dogs are not allowed! Would book with Scott again.”
“Jessica was wonderful. She made everything easy for us. Met us when we drove up. Made Cocoa feel comfortable. She took her for a walk with her own dogs. She sent photos during the day. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Ariahna did a great job while watching my dog Athena. She took Athena for a walk along with her dogs. Athena enjoys playing with other dogs. Many photos were taken throughout the day.

“Cav and his wife took great care of our sweet Parsley while we were in Luray for a quick family getaway this past weekend. They showed us the area where Parsley would be staying, safe and clean with little white boards for each doggy detailing their needs (they had only one other canine customer at the time that Parsley was there). Their land is beautiful and they sent us pictures of Parsley while she was enjoying her time with them. Cav and his wife are kind and professional humans who are clearly committed to taking care of the dogs staying with them. We will be back!”

“Our pups had a wonderful time with Leslie. I knew they would when we did a meet-n-greet. She is a loving dog person and they knew it right away. Her home is beautiful and accommodates dogs - lots of toys, blanket to snuggle in or rest next to Leslie on sofa. Backyard is big and fenced in - a doggies dream backyard. Leslie sent fun pictures and kept us up-to-date on their potty breaks. She walked the pups on a walking trails near her home which my dogs loved. Hopefully next time they will get to see the Canadian geese which visit the local pond regularly. We are so excited that Leslie has started Rover sitting — she is a gem and we are already signing up for another daycare sitting. 🙏🐾❤️”

I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, health, and surroundings, making sure they’re safe and comfortable both inside the home and in outdoor spaces. I keep information on local vets and emergency clinics on my phone. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own!

“Scott and Sarah take excellent care of our dog, who clearly loves and feels comfortable with them. It makes being away from our pup easier knowing she is safe and happy.”
“Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with. We did an initial visit then she agreed to watch on the spot. April, her dog, is amazing as well. We will definitely go with her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Our two Goldens are very big babies so of course we were nervous to leave them. We did a meet & greet with Dana a few months before our stay and felt very confident that they would be okay staying with her. They did have a great weekend with Dana! She sent us lots of videos and pictures during their stay and they received first class treatment from her. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing she was treating them like they were her own. They arrived to stay with a stranger but definitely left with a new best friend!”
“I am so grateful we found Beth through a friend's suggestion. We planned a family trip to Europe and needed a sitter for our Labrador for two weeks. Beth and her family took Luna into their home and treated her like family. Beth sent us pictures of Luna enjoying life and how she was interacting w their dog and children. After our trip, Beth even brought Luna back to the house for us. I could tell Luna loved Beth and was happy! I highly recommend Beth to take great care of you beloved furry family members!”
“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”
“Pamela was a pleasure to book with. She is responsive when I reached out with questions, gave regular updates, and gave our pup extra love and playtime with other pup/kitty friends. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Ruth was so awesome and sweet! I could have not asked for a better person to watch my pup! My Dully was so happy and I got a bunch of photos of him having so much fun. Definitely recommend and will be going back to her every time☺️”
“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.”
“Magda was amazing! She was flexible and accommodating to me when my plans had to change and she put me at ease knowing that my doggo would still be taken care of. I will definitely be booking with her again and I recommend that you should too!”
“Jessica truly went above and beyond while taking care of our dog Frank! She provided many updates and pictures and we knew he was in great care! She is amazing with dogs and would absolutely use her again!”
“Whitney was incredible good with my little one. She took care of him very well when I was sick. And Tokyo had a great time with her dog Feather. She sent me lots of pictures and lmk all the time of how was my dog, and I appreciate that very much. Thank you Whitney!!!”
“Holly is a terrific and experienced dog sitter. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog in her care and was very flexible with pickup/dropoff times. She also sent us pictures to keep us updated. We would book her again if we were in the area.”
“Sheila and Tim were wonderful! They sent pictures throughout the day, kept us apprised of activities, and made us feel comfortable that our pups were in caring hands. We highly recommend them!”
“Whitney was so amazing with our dogs. This was our first time using Rover and she made the booking process smooth and simple. We were so comfortable leaving our girls with her. We got daily updates and photos of our dogs and the adventures they had the farm. We were at ease and able to enjoy our time away from home without any worries. I will be recommending her to our friends and we will be booking with her again.”
“Lauren provided excellent care for Bryce. She regularly sent photos and videos of him throughout his stay with her. Her yard is large and fenced in so plenty of space for your pup to zoom around. High recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
