“I’m so happy I found Jennifer’s profile. She took great care of my 3 babies and eased any anxiety I had leaving them for their first time being boarded. Will definitely rebook with Jennifer again! My pups had a blast there.”

“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”

“I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.”

“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”

“Jeanette is truly a gem! She took care of my dog for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could see how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her—which says a lot! Jeanette kept me updated with sweet messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Her home is warm and perfectly set up for pets to feel safe and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again. Highly, highly recommend!””

“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!”

“Kathryn did an excellent job watching our beagle. She posted updates daily and took her on daily walks. We will use her again in the future. Thanks for taking care of her.”

“Surly had an amazing stay with Lorena and her family. We are new to the area and very lucky to have found a wonderful place for Surly to stay when we travel. He was well taken care of and we got lots of picture updates. Surly looks forward to a future stay! Thank you!”


“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!”

“Our dog stayed with Connie for the first time while we were out of town for a week. She was so easy to book week with. I felt the communication was great, tons of pictures of our sweet girl playing. I know she got a ton of activity and playtime safely. Drop and pick up were easy and Connie was kind, easy to talk to, and most importantly took good care of our fur baby!”

As a Registered Nurse, I bring a high level of clinical observation, assessment, calmness, and safety to my pet care.

You can trust me with your dogs, cats or small animals. I’m currently retired with plans to work PT in 2027. For now I am “ free” to devote my time to your pets as needed. I have a very gentle & friendly rescued Beagle/ Foxhound who enjoys running & romping with playmates in my large fully fenced yard.

If boarding, your pets can have relaxed free rein, including resting on furniture. In caring for your pets in your home, I will be respectful, honor your instructions & give affectionate, detail oriented, safe care.
“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”
“Christopher was pleasant to work with through scheduling and boarding. He was flexible and met my needs well even though they were a bit complicated. During my pet’s stay he sent photos and updated me on her well being. Overall great sitter! :)”

“I’m so glad we found Hannah! Our pups instantly felt comfortable and affectionate toward her, which can be harder for my more anxious pup. Hannah asked wonderful questions to understand my dogs’ needs/habits. I can tell she has a big heart for furry friends and treats them like members of the family. We got daily, thorough updates and photos so we knew what adventures they had that day and to reassure us that they felt at home. I will definitely be using Hannah again. Thank you!!”

“I don't leave reviews so thos means something. Hanna did an amazing job with Skadi. Taking her for walks and playing in the yard even cuddling. It's clear she truly loves the critters. Plus she sent pix and videos and told me what she was doing all along. Greatly appreciate the extra steps. 10/10 will be back.”

“Jessica was wonderful, easy to work with, and took good care of our cat during a drop in visit. She left detailed notes of her visit and several adorable photos.”

“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”


“Rochelle watched our senior cat, Callie, at our home while we were on vacation. She was extremely reliable and trustworthy—sending us daily pictures, videos, and updates. It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.”


“Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.”

“Rachael watched our fur babies doing our wedding and honeymoon and it was one less thing for me to worry about! I knew they were in great hands and got sweet pictures everyday!”

“Alexandria was wonderful with our animals! Even the mean cat seemed to like her, which is pretty rare. Yoshi was very excited to see her when she came for their visits. All animals had full water and food when we got back, my spiteful cat hadn’t broken anything out of boredom or spite from being left behind (he hates having us leave for king periods of time)”


“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.”

“Yeny was kind enough to do a list minute Day Care for us on our Anniversary. Easy drop off and pick up. She was walking her as we arrived to pick up and passed them..! She seemed happy and exercised. The whole family seems to participate in the care of the animals. Yeny took the time to hand feed her a bit at her first dinner away from home to get her started. She took to the time to talk about her day with our pup before we left. It seems to be a caring environment. We will definitely use her again.”

About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay.

Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—seriously, rabbits to goats, and everything in between. Right now I care for dogs, chickens, rabbits, and a cat, and I also have experience pet sitting for families from when I was in high school. In my 20s, I’m excited to help other animal owners get to enjoy a vacation or even a little break like a date night, without having to worry. My love for animals really shows, and I’m totally comfortable with both big dogs and smaller ones—I’m happy to care for every breed. I’m willing to have animals stay at my home, but they absolutely need to be comfortable around other animals. I can also drive to your place and stay at your home if that’s what you prefer. I work from home, so I’m available as often as you need me, and if you need me to stay overnight to watch your furry friend, I can definitely arrange that. With all that said, I’m excited to help in any way I can—because I genuinely love what I do! I’m currently working from home as a Sales Executive at a HR company. I take my pups out every 2 hours for potty breaks and to throw the ball for my very active GSD dog. I get off around 5:30PM M-F. So if you need me to stay at your home to watch your pets while I work throughout the day- that’s no problem! Or I can most definitely take breaks throughout the day to come take your animal out and/or just give some snuggles! I am free on the weekends and can make really anything work. Just give me a time and place and I’ll be there! I have a huge back yard and plenty of space for your dog to run around! It is not fenced, so must have good recall or I can just walk them on a leash. If your dog is coming over to my house they must be good with other animals. I have a male Belgian tervuren (fixed) who’s pretty shy at first, but warms up quickly and would love a play buddy! And then I have a male Dachshund (fixed) who sleeps all day. I do crate my dogs while I’m away, and they can be crated just to give your pet some space to decompress. My cat is in a separate room so she will be away as well.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home.

Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

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: Whether I am doing drop-in visits, dog walking or boarding your fur babes, they truly become part of my family. I have always held a deep affinity and bonding affection for animals, and my primary goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free environment for them while you are away. Efficient, loving care of your pets is what I will provide. & your peace of mind will be ensured. As a Registered Nurse, I bring a high level of clinical observation, assessment, calmness, and safety to my pet care. I also worked part-time in a veterinary practice earlier in my career, giving me a solid foundation in animal handling and wellness. I have much experience with my own pets past & present whom I have provided post-surgical care, administered medications & administered insulin injections. I have also administered subcutaneous IV fluids for several of my elderly cats in renal failure. I have loved all of my pets over the years, which included dogs, cats & guinea pigs! You can trust me with your dogs, cats or small animals. I’m currently retired with plans to work PT in 2027. For now I am “ free” to devote my time to your pets as needed. I have a very gentle & friendly rescued Beagle/ Foxhound who enjoys running & romping with playmates in my large fully fenced yard. I have a friendly, funny, curious 2 y/o tabby cat & a curmudgeon 17 y/o Tortie cat who sticks to herself mostly or lounges on her “Thrones” & observes her domain! If boarding, your pets can have relaxed free rein, including resting on furniture. In caring for your pets in your home, I will be respectful, honor your instructions & give affectionate, detail oriented, safe care.

“I’m so happy I found Jennifer’s profile. She took great care of my 3 babies and eased any anxiety I had leaving them for their first time being boarded. Will definitely rebook with Jennifer again! My pups had a blast there.”

“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”

“I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.”

“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”

“Jeanette is truly a gem! She took care of my dog for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could see how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her—which says a lot! Jeanette kept me updated with sweet messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Her home is warm and perfectly set up for pets to feel safe and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again. Highly, highly recommend!””

“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!”

“Surly had an amazing stay with Lorena and her family. We are new to the area and very lucky to have found a wonderful place for Surly to stay when we travel. He was well taken care of and we got lots of picture updates. Surly looks forward to a future stay! Thank you!”


“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!”

“Our dog stayed with Connie for the first time while we were out of town for a week. She was so easy to book week with. I felt the communication was great, tons of pictures of our sweet girl playing. I know she got a ton of activity and playtime safely. Drop and pick up were easy and Connie was kind, easy to talk to, and most importantly took good care of our fur baby!”

“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”
“Christopher was pleasant to work with through scheduling and boarding. He was flexible and met my needs well even though they were a bit complicated. During my pet’s stay he sent photos and updated me on her well being. Overall great sitter! :)”

“I’m so glad we found Hannah! Our pups instantly felt comfortable and affectionate toward her, which can be harder for my more anxious pup. Hannah asked wonderful questions to understand my dogs’ needs/habits. I can tell she has a big heart for furry friends and treats them like members of the family. We got daily, thorough updates and photos so we knew what adventures they had that day and to reassure us that they felt at home. I will definitely be using Hannah again. Thank you!!”

“I don't leave reviews so thos means something. Hanna did an amazing job with Skadi. Taking her for walks and playing in the yard even cuddling. It's clear she truly loves the critters. Plus she sent pix and videos and told me what she was doing all along. Greatly appreciate the extra steps. 10/10 will be back.”

“Rebecca was fantastic. She was a great communicator throughout the entire stay and took wonderful care of Lucy and Ethel. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”


“Sarah was a wonderful fit for our new fur baby Brinx! Brinx is only 7 weeks old and Sarah treated him as her own! She updated me and sent me pictures of their time together. As a new puppy owner she was kind enough to give me so many pointers when training my little guy. This was my first time using Rover app and i am so happy to have experienced Sarah. She made me feel comfortable and reassured me everything was okay. Highly recommend! I know Brinx can’t wait for our family vacation in June so he can go back and see his second family now!”

“Christie took excellent care of my two dogs. We also loved receiving the videos and updated on how they were doing. We will definitely try to book with Christie whenever we go out of town and need a great dog sitter.”

“Kristina was great! First of all I had some uncertainties in my travel plans that she was understanding about as I worked through the final dates/times. She shared pictures and videos during my dog’s stay. I could see he was comfortable there and having fun. Buster was well taken care of and I would book with Kristina again.”


“This is the first time I used Rover and left Hercules to be taken care by someone who was not part of the family. He is a senior and very into his ways so I was apprehensive about how he would take it. From the photos Cyndi provides daily I could tell in the first day he was relaxed and really into Cyndi. She took a great care of him and it was great to have daily updates and a place where he does need to share with other dogs. I would highly recommend Cyndi and I will definitely book more stays with her.”
