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!!”

Very sweet people, you can definitely trust them! She even sent us updates and photos! The next time we are in that area we will be requesting her for sure! thanks Lorena!!!”
“I can't express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care River receives at his home away from home. From the very first visit, it was clear that River was going to be treated like family. Their warm and welcoming environment makes every stay a delight. They go above and beyond to ensure River feels comfortable and loved. Whether it's engaging him in playtime, providing treats, or simply showering him with affection, their dedication shines through. I love receiving updates and pictures, which reassure me that he’s having a fantastic time. Knowing that River is in such capable hands allows me to relax and enjoy my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy home for their pets. Thank you for everything you do for River! 🐕 ♥️”
“She is amazing and took great care of our dog Smurk. She kept him safe and sent us pictures to show how he was doing. We would love to book with Rebecca again!! Thank you :)”
“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.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with this wonderful couple. They took amazing care of my dog, Liara, at their farm, providing a safe, loving, and spacious environment surrounded by farm animals, which made her stay even more enriching. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about the animals they look after. What truly stood out was their kindness and flexibility when my travel plans unexpectedly changed. When my flight got cancelled, they didn’t hesitate to continue caring for Liara, going above and beyond to help me during a stressful situation. That level of understanding and commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. I’m incredibly grateful for their care, communication, and generosity. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate dog sitters—I will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future.”
“After multiple bad experiences with other dog sitters, finding Connie was a huge relief. Connie allowed us to come over for a meet and greet weeks before our trip, answered all our questions and left us feeling reassured about leaving our baby. During the trip Connie sent us pictures and videos each day. She even sent the sweetest Christmas portraits and made handmade paw ornaments. Buddy had a blast and was exhausted when we brought him home! We will be using Connie from here on out.”
“Lovely house and neighborhood. Great yard. Very kind and gentle with my dog. Followed care instructions. Great communication and sent pictures while I was away. Highly recommend”
“Sarah and Jacob took such good care of my pup while I was traveling. I really appreciated the meet and greet in advance and the daily updates with photos while I was away. My girl looked happy in all the photos and it made me feel less guilty about leaving her.”
“Jeleesa and her sweet family took incredible care of my dog, Penny. She asked all the right questions, made sure Penny stuck to her walk and feeding schedule, and sent so many amazing photos and videos. Penny does not trust easily, but within 30 minutes of me dropping her off, she trusted Jeleesa enough to be pet on the stomach! We will definitely be coming back for all of our dog sitting needs.”
“Highly recommend! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. Will definitely book again!”
“Linda and her family were great! I loved that she sent videos and pictures throughout the day. My Yorkie, Titan, was very happy and well taken care of during his stay. I would highly recommend using Linda and look forward to using her again in the future.”
“tiffany, david and their kids are absolutely great! they take really great care of my dogs, they are very communicative and jus does above and beyond. i would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone!”

You can rest assured that if your pets are in my care they will be well-loved and taken care of!

I’m very trust worthy and compassionate when it comes to dogs, friends and family trust me with there pets I’m currently working during the week, but I’m available every weekend and also every Friday after 4:00 pm so I’ll have plenty of time to play with animals on weekends. I have a wide opened smoke free apartment so the pets could run freely and be comfortable. There is plenty of out door space also with a nature trail to walk.
“Hailey is absolutely THE BEST rascal sitter EVER! My two babies just LOVE her! Fleury is usually much slower at warming up to people but he goes right to Hailey like he's known her forever! I love the personal attention and all the pics Hailey sends me. I feel so relieved knowing Sadie and Fleury are not just being fed but getting loved on as well! Thank you Hailey for another great visit!!”

We'll take the stress away from you while you are away from your pets by treating them like our own. I work full time but my wife Sherry is home all day. We are a team a she will look after the pets during the day and we both will take care of them at night. We currently don't have any dogs since we recently lost our little old man Monty. We have one indoor/outdoor cat named Creature which is very friendly. We have a large back yard which is not fenced but we can take them out on a leash or tie them up on a lead an supervise them. Our property is secluded and is not close to a road so, there is no danger from traffic.
“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.”
“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: I have always had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and I love them. We currently have two dogs. I have a male Golden doodle named Bo and a female Teddy Bear named Annie. I like to walk the dogs for two 30 minute walks a day. I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom. I have a 7 year old, 10 year old, 13 year old and 16 year old at home. Everyone loves dogs. We have a routine with the dogs and they are part of the family. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am a firm believer that dogs need to be walked. I walk my dogs for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon on a walking path behind my house. I keep jingle bells on my door and my dogs ring them to go outside to potty. I have options to separate dogs if necessary. Dogs are separated at feeding time.
“Christie brought a sense of calmness towards our Joji as soon as we arrived. She is very sweet, friendly, and flexible - it was a plus that she was able to work with our hours, we’ll definitely book her again :)”
About: Hello hello! My name is Jocelyn, and I’m a 20-year-old dog lover that recently picked up petsitting in December! 😋🫶🏽 Until last year, I’d grown up with pets my entire life. Since my last childhood Pitbull, Roxy (one out of three total dogs) passed away last July, it’s been difficult adjusting to life without them to share it with me. My schedule feels hollow and incomplete after having spent the last four years with two senior dogs. Those four years have given me experience waking up both late and early to tend to a pet’s many needs, and stay up as long as needed to ensure their safety and wellbeing. Living in a house of dog lovers, your pet(s) will be both well-cared for and showered with love all throughout their stay. 💕 Having our late girl’s passing so recent, we still have all the living necessities available for use if need be. This includes pet beds, food/water bowls, functional kennels, poop bags, and a couple toys. We adore our dogs, and are ready to cherish yours just as much before they return back into your loving arms. Petsitting will provide peace of mind for both me and my clients. Whether you’re away for a short or extended period, rest assured your pet(s) stay with us will be easygoing, well communicated, and overall an experience to remember! 😁 I’m currently hunting for a full-time position outside of Rover. When I eventually enter the workforce, petsitting will likely become a background gig I can no longer give my full attention to. Since it’ll be my first ever job, adapting to a new schedule will cause me to become heavily split between sleep, work, and my own physical health, which would conflict with petsitting until I’d find a decent balance. More info will come when I get a job! 😄 Our family and neighborhood is strict about leashes, so despite our open deck and yard, while outside your pet will NEVER be without a leash or left unattended. Provided collar and leashes would be appreciated! We have a room designated for crates in case of emergencies, and will not hesitate to use them in the unlikely circumstance that we need them. Our lives were once surrounded by two pitbulls and a chihuahua that we showered with love daily. Expect that your pet(s) will be treated as if they were our own! ❤️
“Maria and her husband are wonderful! They have taken such amazing care of our pup!! She is always happy to see them. They are caring, flexible, and have great communication!”
“Cooper had the BEST day with Praveen and his wife and his two dogs. It was his first time away from Us as he is a puppy. He was spoiled, and taken well care of. Highly recommend this sitter!”
About: I am an animal lover, I have my own little poodle that I have loved & cared for +10 years. Since a child I have always been drawn to dogs and cats due to their undeniable cute eyes & furrr, but most importantly their sincerity. As a Leo I am vivacious, protective and loyal, qualities every mans best friend loves! I am reliable, so you can expect me to keep you posted on our adventures. You can count on me to make sure your bestie is pampered. Experience: I have been dog sitting for the past three years whenever friends and family left for vacation or business trips. I also volunteered at animal shelters in Richmond during my college years. Feel assured your loved one will be in good hands :) Since I’m a stay-at-home mom, pet care is the natural heartbeat of my daily routine. I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to guest pups alongside my own two. I don't look at it as a chore—to me, hosting other dogs is the perfect opportunity for fun playdates and social playtime for our pups! In my home, your pup will truly be treated like family. Because I'm home during the day, your dog will have constant companionship and plenty of love. We have a fully fenced-in yard with tons of space for the dogs to run around and play together safely. For walks, I like to keep a nice routine to stay out of the heat: we do a walk first thing in the morning and another one in the evening once the sun goes down. Whether they're running loops in the yard or just relaxing inside, your pup will fit right into our fun daily rhythm
“Amber was absolutely fantastic! She’s very professional and regularly updated me on my pup’s stay! It was Chase’s first stay. I was nervous about leaving him, but Amber put my anxieties at ease! I highly recommend Amber!!!”
“Ligia and her family took such good care of our Bear! I look forward to taking him over there again; they were so attentive to Bear and are overall just wonderful!”
“Fletcher had a great time and slept well! I knew he was in great hands. I love that he was able to spend time with fellow Goldens! ❤️ Thank you so much for a great day!”
About: I do consultations with every client about times, flexible pay, additional services. I can train your dog to do the basic things like sit, stay, go in their cage. If i cant I'll let you know i can't. I can bathe dogs, nails, teeth and ear cleaning and trim up feet. Depending on how long your dog is staying, there will be a bathing fee. I do accept cats but will not groom them. I will ask you what your pet likes and doesnt like, how they are with other animals, any medications or allergies i need to know about, etc. I am very flexible when it comes to almost anything whether its price, drop off/pick up times, special needs, any questions or concerns just ask. I work but someone is usually always home for playtime ,mealtime , and bathroom time. Every pet has free roam of the house and will only be crated if need be Every pet gets fed at least twice a day , playtime , bathing /nail grinding if asked. This should feel like their second home to come to I have a dog as well (Lyla) every pet baby I’ve cared for is treated as they are my own. We go for morning walks / sometimes runs , playtime . There is a dog park in my neighborhood. I care for them the same I would my own. We have multiple walks and playtime during the day, medicine is administered when needed. Extra potty breaks if needed, training with treats, down time. I make them feel as if this were their 2nd home
About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.
About: Going away? Let your pets stay, play, and relax in the warmth and comfort of family. With a sitter who embraces every Fur baby as part of the pack. Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, or medication—I strive to ensure your furball feels not only cared for but loved as well. While providing consistency, reliability, and most importantly, peace of mind to you. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m naturally nurturing, highly responsible, and always home—perfect for giving your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve. With a flexible schedule and a heart for caregiving, your furry companions will feel safe, loved, and never alone. I have a 2200+ sqft house with plenty of space for playing and exploration as well as multiple quiet cozy nooks separate from the main area, perfect for observing and getting comfortable with new environments and friends. For the pets that prefer the great outdoors our home is on a 1/2 acre lot with a fenced-in backyard that is mostly shaded by multiple large trees to lounge under and provide plenty of birds, squirrels, and rabbits to chase around! Afterwards, a large comfy couch and doggy bed await in the main living room space so your pup can rest and relax with the family. I allow animals on the furniture and bed so they always feel welcome to cuddle up with me for pets and ear rubs. Likewise, at bedtime your furry companion can curl up on the bed or sleep on the plush doggy bed in the comfy nook at the foot of the bed. My goal is to ensure that at all points of their adventure they feel a part of the family.

“I highly recommend Autumn as a dog walker! She has been walking our German Shepherd, Boaz, and her care and dedication are exceptional. Autumn is not only punctual and reliable, but she also takes the time to understand Boaz’s needs and personality. Each walk is filled with engaging activities that keep him active and happy. Boaz always returns home content and well-exercised, which is a testament to Autumn's skills. Her friendly demeanor and genuine love for dogs make her a standout choice. If you're looking for a trustworthy and passionate dog walker, Autumn is the perfect fit!”

About: I have been a pet owner for a majority of my life from cats, dogs, rodents, horses, and birds; they are a big part of my life and very dear to me. I have worked and lived with cats and kittens of different personalities, puppies, senior, and special needs dogs. Additionally, I have skills in dog training and teaching. Currently, I work part-time so I have a lot of time to be able to provide for caring for a client’s pet during the week as well! Animals know their routines well and are good at communicating their wants and needs. I find it very easy to figure out when they are wanting/needing to go outside, expend some extra energy, or just want to relax in a quiet environment.

About: Bottom line is, I will do everything possible to make your pet safe, comfortable and happy in your home or mine. I understand the anxiety of leaving your loved one in someone else's hands. I suffer those same feeling and I have known and trust my caretaker 100 percent! I have owned, raised and cared for dogs my entire life. I've experienced the various needs, habits and personalities of our four-legged friends through the years. While I love spending time with puppies, I also enjoy taking care of adult dogs or dogs that require special attention. My most valuable qualification for taking care of your pet is that I absolutely Love and respect our four legged children. You can trust me to always make your pets comfort my first priority when I am with them. I am self-employed and can adjust my working hours to suit your needs. I will also be retiring soon and will have more available hours to care for your pet. I have a fenced in back yard and a doggie door (that can be closed when needed). I also do my best to get to know each individual pet and their requirements.
About: Since I was young I've been a fan of animals, my family has owed several, And its been my joy to take care and nurture them. Ive been taking care of pets for a long time and in that I've learned alot about how to care for, treat, and love lots of different kinds of animals, Dogs especially but I am not a stranger to the feline kind, I am experienced with small and larger dogs, as well as dogs with more nervous or flights temperaments. If you choose me to take care of your furry companion I will do everything to make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe in my care. I hope to hear from you soon :) I am currently privileged to have an abundance of free time this means I am available to handle more lengthy stays or more involved care. I am very detailed oriented and a stickler for routine, if you have a pet that need specific or very exact care I am more than capable of doing things right, even for pets that need less specialization I am more than able to give your pet what they need in any environment.
About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I’m currently taking an online summer course with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the summer for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Since I’m not working right now, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help however I can! In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care!
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.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and other pets by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am dependable, patient, and will treat every pet like my own. I’ve had all different kinds of pets my whole life. My schedule is flexible, and I am available for pet care throughout the week. I do have a job where I work 3-4 times a week with 5-hour shifts, but I can plan around my work schedule and make sure your pets receive the attention and care they need. I will provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pets. I am responsible, respectful, and will treat every pet with care and patience.

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.

“I can't express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care River receives at his home away from home. From the very first visit, it was clear that River was going to be treated like family. Their warm and welcoming environment makes every stay a delight. They go above and beyond to ensure River feels comfortable and loved. Whether it's engaging him in playtime, providing treats, or simply showering him with affection, their dedication shines through. I love receiving updates and pictures, which reassure me that he’s having a fantastic time. Knowing that River is in such capable hands allows me to relax and enjoy my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy home for their pets. Thank you for everything you do for River! 🐕 ♥️”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with this wonderful couple. They took amazing care of my dog, Liara, at their farm, providing a safe, loving, and spacious environment surrounded by farm animals, which made her stay even more enriching. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about the animals they look after. What truly stood out was their kindness and flexibility when my travel plans unexpectedly changed. When my flight got cancelled, they didn’t hesitate to continue caring for Liara, going above and beyond to help me during a stressful situation. That level of understanding and commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. I’m incredibly grateful for their care, communication, and generosity. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate dog sitters—I will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future.”
“After multiple bad experiences with other dog sitters, finding Connie was a huge relief. Connie allowed us to come over for a meet and greet weeks before our trip, answered all our questions and left us feeling reassured about leaving our baby. During the trip Connie sent us pictures and videos each day. She even sent the sweetest Christmas portraits and made handmade paw ornaments. Buddy had a blast and was exhausted when we brought him home! We will be using Connie from here on out.”
