“If I could give 10 stars, I would do so!! I recently moved to Virginia and needed to board my beagle for an out of town trip. I was very anxious because I haven’t connected with a place that I felt comfortable leaving him. Roxana put my fears to rest immediately. The frequent updates, photos and videos of my pup having the time of his life eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip. I will 100% book with Roxana again.”
“Absolutely great family taking care of Monty not just as my dog but as their own. Monty was such a happy boy when I picked him up. He says he wants to go back one day soon again. Such a beautiful family affair that made my travel so much easier knowing he s in such good hands including their super sweet and beautiful dog. Thank you so much”

“Ari took such good care of Stella!! I received updates and photos every day. You could tell Stella was having an awesome time. Ari was very accommodating of Stellas needs as an older dog with knee issues. Her home is so dog friendly with plenty of places for Stella to rest and explore. She was also very understanding and flexible with my travel plans. Would 1000% recommend, and Stella will be back here for sure”

“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“Abby was great! I appreciate that she took the time to meet my boy before his stay to ensure that all the 4 legged friends would be suitable together. I asked for lots of pictures and videos and she delivered. It's difficult being away from my boy so getting constant updates was a huge plus!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Leidy! She took excellent care of our senior dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for ❤️ We would absolutely book with Leidy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Kayce was wonderful! My good boy, Twix, needs a lot of play and attention. The boarding was only for three days, but I was still worried. Kayce made those worries vanish after the meet and greet. She was super understanding, very attentive, and gave Twix all the attention and care he needed. She was very thorough in going over what he needed and sent me regular updates on how he was doing. I can't recommend her more.”
“Alison is amazing! I was a little worried about how Louie would be once we left but she did a great job reassuring me he was ok! She didn’t skip a beat with her updates and plenty of pictures! I can tell he felt the love from her just as much as I could tell just by the pictures! I would definitely rebook if she’s available!”

About: I’ve had experience taking care of small animals and big animals since I grew up with both. I currently have older dogs at the house but I also have a pup of my own here as well. I am currently not employed and love to work with animals so this is what I chose to do, I love taking care of animals and always have. I’m very used to taking animals out on walks, feeding them, and loving on them since that is what I do with my own. I treat others animals the same way I’d want mine to be treated.
“Fergus (our cat) loves Virginia. He never purrs for anyone the way he purrs for her. When we got home today after being away for several days, my husband heard Fergus meowing through the door before we entered and said to me, "I pretty sure he's meowing 'Virginia! Virginia!' He's going to be so disappointed that it's us!" Virginia is great with Fergus, very kind to us, and has been just a perfect pet sitter.”

I also play semi-professional soccer in Richmond, Va so I schedule any dog care activities around any practices or games. As a pet owner myself, I can follow any special instructions that are required for your pet. Whether its giving medication, feeding instructions, walking habits, etc. I promise to prioritize your pets needs as if they were my own.
“Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home.

About: Hi! I’m Kristy, and caring for animals has always been one of my favorite things. As both a dog and cat owner, I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your furry family members. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including senior pets and those with special medical needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special diets, and caring for pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or reassurance. Having cared for my own pets through health challenges, I’ve learned how important it is to be observant, reliable, and proactive. Before changing careers, I was a teacher, so being dependable, organized, and communicative comes naturally to me. I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, comforting presence around, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I can’t wait to get to know you and your furry family!

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week so my availability will always be changing. But,I will try to keep my Rover calendar up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! The plan is is turn this into a full-time gig so I will have probably more availability as time goes on towards the end of this year, but I’m hoping to find some regular clients that will book with me on a consistent basis! Plus, I’m really looking forward to all the pet snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too! I do highly recommend a meet & greet ahead of time so we can meet pet parents and also meet dog(s)! Let’s them see me and hopefully remember me and feel comfortable with me in their house! (*Please note: House Sitting rates apply to stays where overnight accommodations (a clean bed/space) are provided in your home.

“Amanda is hands down a five-star sitter! She watched my dog all day and did an incredible job managing her high energy; she really went above and beyond to get all those "zoomies" out, and I picked up a very happy, tired pup. Her communication was also top-notch throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly knows how to engage with dogs, I highly recommend booking with Amanda!”
“Alison took amazing care of my French Bulldog, J3, while I was at work. J3 can be a little particular—he loves attention, has specific routines, and can be sensitive to heat—but Alison followed all instructions perfectly and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like family, but Alison truly did. Thank you again for being so reliable, loving, and attentive with J3. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”
“Abby, had great communication with me while our pup was there. She sent me pics which helped put our minds at ease. What sold me on her was that within 5 minutes of me reaching out with our dogs info and request for care she responded back with her address ready to take him immediately. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be using her services!”
“Eliane and her husband were more than accommodating. I have a 12 year old dog who struggles with anxiety so finding a family to take care of my baby was a bit stressful. Upon messaging Elaine about her availability she immediately proposed a meet and greet. I was nervous Sepia wouldn’t get along with her own two dogs but it went wonderfully! Elaine and her husband were flexible with my tentative schedule and offered to host sepia for the night when I found out I needed to leave extremely early the next morning. With my crazy work schedule, I will 100% go straight to Elaine and Steven. Sepia clearly made herself at home ? and was spoiled with treats and endless love.”
“Sabrina was extremely accommodating as I needed day care coverage extremely last minute. She allowed the my pup & her dogs to get comfortable with one another and sent me updates throughout the day without prompting. I truly appreciate her kindness and expertise and will definitely book with her again.”
About: I have built my life around loving and caring for animals. I have been with my local SPCA for 11 years and have been president for 8 years. My family has rescued and loved many animals throughout our lives and I would like nothing more than to extend that love to your pets. I am available at all times as I have retired and most of my SPCA volunteer work is done from my home. If for whatever reason I am not going to be there I will make sure you will be informed prior to my absence and my husband is available in the rare instance I am not. I have a dog boarding facility that can house up to 17 dogs of all sizes. There is a large outdoor play area and nice cozy accommodations including indoor and outdoor runs. Dogs have access to one on one play (including private walks) as well as group play depending on your preference and dog temperament.
“We had such a great experience with our sitter through the Rover app. She was incredibly accommodating and adjusted seamlessly to our schedule, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the moment Tilley arrived, it was clear she genuinely cared for her like one of her own pets. She kept me updated, made sure Tilley was comfortable, and gave her so much love and attention during her stay. Her home had more than enough space for Tilley to feel relaxed and active, and I really appreciated how intentional she was about keeping her engaged with daily activities and playtime. Tilley came home happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed her time there. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Tilley again in the future.”

We also love walks, playtime, and games of fetch for dogs who enjoy daily exercise. With us, your furry family members will receive lots of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day!

My husband is home outside of my work schedule, so together we can provide attention, supervision, and love for your dog or cat almost all day. Safety: Your pet’s safety is our top priority. While our 2.5-acre yard isn’t fully fenced, we use a dog trolley system that allows pets to safely roam and explore while remaining leashed. Inside the home, pets are supervised at all times. Trust: We treat every pet like family, providing attentive care, consistent routines, and regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Environment: Our home is loving, calm, and kid-friendly, with plenty of space for pets to play, rest, and feel comfortable. We welcome dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.
About: I’ve owned and cared for furry (scaled and feathered!) friends my whole life. From cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and bunnies, to fish and birds. I even have experience caring for sugar gliders and a ball python. I’ve worked as a pet uber (with a company called Leash) and volunteered at shelters, socializing events, and cat rescues for several years, so I’m used to interacting with all kinds of pet personalities and ages. From shy snugglers, to loyal guardians, to spunky characters, to goofy adventurers, I love them all! You can trust I will love on your baby and treat them with as much care as I do my own fur babies. My schedule is fairly flexible right now since my medical retirement from the Army in October. I’m currently working on an online M.S. in psych and substitute teaching in my boyfriend’s town (Clarksville, VA) whenever I’m available. Since it’s a long commute and I’m typically called the morning of, I try to keep Monday and Tuesday open to sub if needed. I am more than willing to do virtual and in person meet and greets to learn pet needs and routines. I prefer to meet in person to get acquainted with your pet while they feel safe in your presence (but I’ve never met a pet I didn’t click with and love immediately.) I’ll accept any additional written/typed outlines detailing your pets care if that’s easier than leaving notes in the app. You name it and I’ll do it; whatever is best for you and your fur baby. Dogs under my care will enjoy long walks and dog parks trips where applicable. If you have a puppy (or dog) in training, I love to partner in their learning using whatever commands you prefer. Kitties under my care will get lots of playtime with wands and lasers, as well as tons of snuggles.

She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week so my availability will always be changing. But,I will try to keep my Rover calendar up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! The plan is is turn this into a full-time gig so I will have probably more availability as time goes on towards the end of this year, but I’m hoping to find some regular clients that will book with me on a consistent basis! Plus, I’m really looking forward to all the pet snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too! I do highly recommend a meet & greet ahead of time so we can meet pet parents and also meet dog(s)! Let’s them see me and hopefully remember me and feel comfortable with me in their house! (*Please note: House Sitting rates apply to stays where overnight accommodations (a clean bed/space) are provided in your home. If you prefer daytime/evening visits only without overnight stays, please book via my Drop-In rates!)
About: I have a few dogs at my house already but I've also been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at rescues. My family also has many pets and farm animals I help take care of these include fish, hamsters, and budgies. I'm currently in college right now studying life science but I have plenty of free time. During that time I'd like to take care of animals. I like to take care of your pets however you like them taken care of. I'll wake up early for morning walks or stay up late to clean up after them.

With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m currently working fully remote, and I choose my own hours, so I’m available anytime of day. I’m willing to work with you and your pet’s needs to ensure your furry friend remains on their consistent routines. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and stick to their normal routine. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise and playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also administer medications if needed, reinforce any routines you’ve established, and keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet. After every visit, I’ll send you updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.

“If I could give 10 stars, I would do so!! I recently moved to Virginia and needed to board my beagle for an out of town trip. I was very anxious because I haven’t connected with a place that I felt comfortable leaving him. Roxana put my fears to rest immediately. The frequent updates, photos and videos of my pup having the time of his life eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip. I will 100% book with Roxana again.”
“Dylan was very professional, friendly and attentive. He also went above and beyond and was able to pick up my dog’s prescription from Kroger. I highly recommend his services. Thanks!”
“Ari took such good care of Stella!! I received updates and photos every day. You could tell Stella was having an awesome time. Ari was very accommodating of Stellas needs as an older dog with knee issues. Her home is so dog friendly with plenty of places for Stella to rest and explore. She was also very understanding and flexible with my travel plans. Would 1000% recommend, and Stella will be back here for sure”
“She was absolutely great with our pup. He was well taken care of and she kept me updated with pictures and videos through out our time away. I highly recommend her.”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“Abby was great! I appreciate that she took the time to meet my boy before his stay to ensure that all the 4 legged friends would be suitable together. I asked for lots of pictures and videos and she delivered. It's difficult being away from my boy so getting constant updates was a huge plus!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Leidy! She took excellent care of our senior dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for ❤️ We would absolutely book with Leidy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Kayce was wonderful! My good boy, Twix, needs a lot of play and attention. The boarding was only for three days, but I was still worried. Kayce made those worries vanish after the meet and greet. She was super understanding, very attentive, and gave Twix all the attention and care he needed. She was very thorough in going over what he needed and sent me regular updates on how he was doing. I can't recommend her more.”
“Alison is amazing! I was a little worried about how Louie would be once we left but she did a great job reassuring me he was ok! She didn’t skip a beat with her updates and plenty of pictures! I can tell he felt the love from her just as much as I could tell just by the pictures! I would definitely rebook if she’s available!”
“Very professional and practical. The communication was punctual and timely. I was very pleased to see our dog having such a lovely time during my time away. Highly recommend Anita for your Rover needs.”

About: I have lived dog with multiple dogs my whole life. I have 5 years of experience in the veterinary world that has broadened my horizon to the variety of breeds out there and the different requirements they need. I also specialize in medicating our furry friends in the most stress-free way possible. I have experience training my own service dog from 8 weeks old to present and continue to keep his training up to date. I also specialize in hospice care for our are geriatric puppies, because no matter how old they are, they are always puppies to us. I am currently pet sitting for people Part-Time. my goal is to make caring for animals my full-time job. While I continuemaking commissioned pet portraits! Along with other commissions for various prints and paintings. At my house, dogs will eat separately from other dogs for safety and have long line leash walks for potty breaks. If a pet is known to have toy aggression, toys will be taken out of the equation. I do have a service dog that comes with me everywhere including my clients homes. If a client 's pet is dog aggressive or the cats are scared of dog, I will not have my service dog interact with them to give comfort and safety for all.
“Denny was an awesome sitter for my little mami. I had to book him last minute because of some arrangements with my business trip and he was willing and friendly enough to take my puppy.The communications were clear and consistent. Throughout my trip I reached out to Denny to just check up on my baby and he was communicating very well as well as sending pictures. I will definitely book with him again and is looking for him to do dog sitting during the day while I’m at work 10 out of 10, I highly recommend.”
“I first booked with Rangeen about a month ago and Banx had a wonderful time and I knew I would be a repeat customer. Last night he stayed there again and when I picked him up he was literally smiling ear to ear. I wasn't surprised though. With every update and picture I received I could tell he was having a great time. Thank you for taking care of Banx as if he was your own. He is very anxious about everything and your years of experience know exactly what to do to ease his nerves and make him feel more than comfortable. Thank you on behalf of both of us 😀!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 7 years old and professionally since I was 18 years old. I love ALL animals. I have experience with the following animals: Bearded Dragons, Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, Rabbits, Fish, Hamsters, and Birds. I know how to administer shots and give medications orally to Cats, Dogs, and Ferrets. I believe that pets aren't pets - they are family. I live in a house with my husband, 15 month old toddler, and 2 kitties. I work a 9-5 full time job but can take breaks to help with walks, potty breaks, and feedings. I promise to give all of the love and attention your animal needs. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please reach out to me. Thank you! I have a full-time job however, I can take breaks throughout the day to attend to your animal's needs (walks, potty breaks, food, etc.). I have full availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats who get along with other animals. They roam around the house and tend to do their own thing. Staying in client homes, I will only use items/rooms that I am told can be used. I ALWAYS clean up after myself and will do light housework if asked/needed.
