“Linda and David are the most loving and caring couple to our little angel, Daisy. We have used them exclusively in Blacksburg for the last 3 years. Daisy is excited to see them each visit and prances up to their door. We are so grateful for them.”
“Veronica took great care of our dog while we were out of town. It made our trip much more enjoyable knowing our big guy was in good hands. The photos and videos she sent were an added bonus!”
“Russell was in great hands with Vanda. She took great care of him and sent plenty of pictures. We spend quite a bit of time in Lynchburg and hope to ask her to watch him again.”
“Jenny was excellent. Took care of my two huskies while I traveled. She gave my updates just about everyday and that usually included a video/pic. The girls loved running around her fenced in yard and seeing her goats, chickens, and duck from the other side. They also enjoyed playing with her pups as well. Would definitely have my babies stay there again while I travel.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful. Elizabeth gave daily updates with text, pictures and video. Bailey had a wonderful time and loved being around the other dogs on property. Most of all Bailey was able to run free and basically be in the same environment that she has at home. Highly recommend.”
“Walt kept our boy, Teddi, for four days. Teddi is a 3 yo intact English Shepherd who has never spent a night away from us. Teddi is a very well behaved and friendly boy but we were a bit anxious how this would go. Walt kept us well informed on how Teddi was doing. Walt gave Teddi great care and a lot of attention. When we returned to pick up Teddi, it was obvious that he and Teddy had bonded very well. We are very pleased with the care that Walt provided and will certainly use him again.”
“My belgian malinois, had an amazing weekend with Carmen and her dogs. She was worn out and napped for half of the day afterwards. So, I know she had a great time. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer. Thank you!”
“1st time using Rover App & 1st time getting a new face for our sweet ol pup 🐶 Rover is streamlined, user-friendly, and fast responses from potential sitters! Nancye did a Superb job taking care of our sweet boy! So appreciative of her loving care while we were out of town! Thank you Nancye!! 💜”
“Sydney was wonderful with both my mini schnauzers. She took care of their every need and gave them lots of love. We have rebooked with her for several more dates and will continue to book with her for boarding in her home.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Maks! It’s clear you truly love animals, and I appreciate your reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup—couldn’t ask for better!”
About: Lifelong dog owner with foster experience through rescue. Comfortable with different personalities and committed to safe, structured care. Your dog will be treated like family, with lots of supervision, updates, and understanding of individual needs. I work a full time job during the week with availability most days to come home and check on my animals during the day. I have weekends off with some on call days mixed into the schedule. I live on just under an acre without a fence at the moment. I have 3 dogs who are k9 off leash trained, however, any dogs I bring on the property get leash walked around the property for safety for scheduled potty breaks and playtime.
About: I’ve always been the person who stops to say hi to every dog I pass and always at the cat section at the pet stores. I’ve cared for my own pets for years and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet wants to play all day or just curl up next to someone, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know I’d want the same for my own pets. Pet care fits easily into my routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and whatever else your pet needs throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress free I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and always put their safety and comfort first. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. I’m also a big believer in communication, so you’ll receive updates and photos throughout their stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Maribel welcomed Rocky into her home and kept him happy and active while he was in her care. Maribel has a farm with lots of room to run, animals to fascinate, and even a river to play in. I could tell from the pictures and Rocky's interaction with Maribel and her family that he was well cared for and had a great time, too. She'll be on top of my list of sitters to reach out to in the future.”
“Natalie took care of my sweet pittbull for 26 days while I traveled outside the country! At first I was nervous because the pictures had not been updated and honestly the appearance is slightly jarring at first. However if you can look past that, Natalie is a passionate dog owner, her own dogs are healthy, happy and well trained. My pittbull has tons of allergies and requires supplements, oral drops, baths, and topical foam. Natalie was willing to take that on, and provide a routine for my dog so that she could play, socialize, and be well cared for. Natalie gives daily pictures so you can visualize your dog is safe and sound! Don’t judge a book by its cover!! I am so glad my dog found her rhythm and enjoyed her time with Natalie. Highly recommend her! My dog came back looking shinny and happy! Will book her again!!”
“Holy cow, our dog’s experience with Kurt could not have been better! Kurt kept in amazing touch with us and sent photos of his many adventures with our dog. I would definitely have him as my first choice any time we need care. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!”
“Courtney & Kameron took great care of Barkley while I was away. He went on lots of walks and enjoyed all the extra attention. Courtney sent lots of pic throughout the weekend. Will definitely use them again!!!”
“I would definitely recommend Claire for petsitting. She friendly and accommodating, and our dog seemed very well cared for. Our only problem was finding the house because the address sent to us through Rover was not correct, but hopefully that has been fixed.”
“We’ve used Nancy a few times for boarding our golden retriever pup and she is fantastic! We love her bubbly and welcoming personality. We’ve always felt like our pup has been in great hands with exceptional care. Highly recommend!!!”
“Amari was absolutely wonderful with Frost! She took him on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated, and he had an amazing time in her care. It was clear from the updates and from how happy and relaxed Frost was when we picked him up that he was well cared for and loved. Amari is reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs she watches. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Amari, for taking such great care of Frost!”

About: I’ve cared for cats through house sitting and volunteering at a humane society, so I’m comfortable with all personalities (from shy to super social.) I follow their routine, give them gentle care and attention, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing!
About: I have been pet sitting for many years. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, and even a chameleon. I really have a special affection for dogs. I connect with them and they with me. I have friends whose dogs freak out when they see me after not having seen me for a while. I take them on hikes, play with them, and do whatever is necessary to keep them in good health while in my care. I can see that all your dogs needs are met, including medications, special foods, treats, and a good night's sleep. I have a fenced-in backyard where your dog and mine can frolic while I keep an eye on them. I always supervise and dogs aren't left on their own.
“Cynthia has a special way with my rescue dog! She kept me updated about my dog with every visit. She was willing to help with our dog’s care at the very last minute. I highly recommend Cynthia!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, all with different temperaments. I know that cats are each their own special being and sometimes their way of getting attention is to just hang out in the same room with you. I have been in school to train as a vet tech, due to finances I could not finish. However, I do know more about interacting with cats than the average person due to finances.
“We are so amazed by the care that Rita provided our boys when we were away. We knew from our initial meeting that she offers her services because she loves pets so much. We will definitely only hire her for our future needs and we recommend her without reservation!”

About: Growing up, I have done pet and house sitting in various cities and situations. I come from a family of animal lovers: my mom won't even kill a house insect, and her mom has been know to adopt cats, birds, and even the occasional squirrel! We have no dogs of our own at this point, but I love to watch other peoples' dogs to scratch that canine itch (preferrably behind the ears! 😄) I am a home body with two little ones that are yet to be in school. I will probably be home most of the time your pet is here. We have an unfenced yard with caged chickens, quails, and goats. As a family, we spend lots of time outside and on walks, so your pet will get plenty of time to excercise.
About: Leaving your pet behind can be a very hard thing to do. If you can’t take them with you, I want you to feel confident that they will be loved just as much in your absence, so when you return you have a happy pup and no guilt inside from not being able to take them with you! I have loved animals since I can remember. I love all types, but dogs are my specialty! I have dog sat all my life and will treat your baby as if it was my own child. We have a big yard and safe neighborhood to do lots of playtime and walks! I can do some basic puppy training (sit down, work on potty training) through positive reinforcement. I am great with active and high energy pups and dogs! We have a 13 year old yorkie who is partially blind. I am also very strong if larger dogs need assistance moving around or going to the bathroom. I can manage senior care if they need daily medications or ointments. I have mild grooming experience. I work mostly from home and have all the time to make sure your pet’s needs and wants are taken care of! Lots of short walks and long walks if needed and tons of playtime and snuggle time. I have two dogs, and our heeler especially loves a good playmate! We have two boys, 6 and 9 who are are respectful and have “dog manners” and love all the dogs. My husband is a huge animal lover as well. I never leave our own dogs longer than 4 hours. This will be your dog’s home away from home! Our dogs are our family and we are very careful to keep them leashed when outside, as we don’t have a fence, but love playing outside. I will make sure your dog feels safe and secure at all times with lots of love however they need it! We will follow any dietary restrictions, medical schedules or any special requests. We do request no aggressive dogs for the safety of our children and our own dogs. We have ways to separate with gates in our home if necessary at any point. We do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she is confined to one room at night and out during the day. I will send photos and videos as often as you want! I love capturing pups in action, snoozing or just being goofy!
About: I have taken care of dogs & cats since I was 12. I have walked, fed pets for friends and family for years whenever they needed assistance. I’m working part time and I have the time to take care of dogs playing with them, taking them for walks for exercise, grooming them when they need it and just enjoy spending time with the dog I have two fur babies at my home, and I have a yard big enough that they have room to run and play and trees that give off shade when they need to cool off

I would love to help make sure your little loved one is taking care of and comfortable while you are away! Please reach out if you have any questions.
About: I have immense experience caring for my own cat, Stella. Managing Stella’s daily needs has taught me about creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for cats, from feeding and grooming to keeping her entertained and happy. My experience with Luna has also made me familiar with the nuances of feline behavior and the patience and understanding it takes to make cats feel secure and loved. I’d be thrilled to bring this same level of care to other cats!
“Cara was awesome!! She was very communicative and even stopped by at our house a few days before we left out of town so we could show her what we needed for our 2 cats. You can tell she is very caring and she came twice and took care of everything we asked for and left detailed notes and photos on the Rover Card so we could keep updated on how our cats were doing.”

“I absolutely love Linda and David. They do an amazing job every single time. They take such great care of my dog and always make sure to send me pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind. My dog is always so excited when he sees them — that alone tells me how well they treat him. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and truly wonderful sitter!”
“Greg and Corrie were absolutely phenomenal caretakers for our Vizsla puppy. They made the experience so enjoyable and gave us peace of mind throughout the day. Our pup Henri had an absolute blast staying with this family. I’m sure he can’t wait to go back and visit next time. You are in the safest hands with these two. We highly recommend.”
“Holly is the BEST. Tuesdays are now Poncho's (and my) favorite day of the week. He has the time of his life running around the yard and playing with other pups, and is exhausted by the time I pick him up- which every puppy owner knows is the BEST feeling ever. Holly is so communicative, sends the cutest pics, and I always know Poncho is safe and spoiled with her. You need to book with her!”
“Nancy’s was great! We were in town for graduation and needed a pet sitter for a few hours to attend the ceremony. Nancy’s was very attentive and excited to take care of Chai. She was in great hands and I highly recommend her to anybody who wants extra special treatment for their pup.”
About: I am a veterinarian who has dedicated her life to caring for animals. I have worked with animals from a young age, including many hours working in vet offices in high school leading up to college and vet school (became a licensed vet in 2020). I am quite comfortable with caring for animals who need medications administered, or more intense levels of care while their owners are away. Working with animals brings me joy and peace, and making sure they are happy and well cared for is my life mission. I believe in fear free handling, and I am happy to work with animals who do not trust unknown people. I am a licensed veterinarian but I am currently in grad school so I am very flexible. I can be home all day if needed, and can provide close supervision. I have a 3 year old female German Shepherd (very friendly!) and cats (mostly outdoor). I have the ability to keep my dog separate if needed but she loves playing with other dogs! I have a full sized truck and the ability to transport animals with me safely. I have 2.5 acres of fenced land for dogs to run and play as well as a small fenced in section adjacent to the house. A pet door offers come and go access to the house. I am free to drop in during the week or board animals for extended periods, and if your animal needs medications administered as part of their care I am very capable. I am comfortable handling large dogs (I have a lot of practice in my line of work as a veterinarian). I am also comfortable with young animals, cats, older animals, and any animal requiring high levels of care.
“Amelia did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! She sent me updates throughout the day and made sure my puppy, Penelope, was entertained all day long! I will definitely be booking her again if I need someone to watch Penelope.”

About: Hi there! My name is Cecile and I live in Radford, Virginia with my husband, 2 teenagers and 2 cats. We have a house with a fenced yard in a peaceful area. I am a homemaker, natural healer and gardener, and I particularly enjoy having pets around me. I have worked as a pet-sitter for 5 years, including 1 year full-time.

We will keep your pet's habits as much as possible even in a new environment for him. Do not hesitate to contact me for more information! Sincerely, Cecile I am with your pet like I would be with a friend. I talk to them, listen to their needs and spend time with them. I will care for your pet as if it is mine. I don't have any pet myself. I will not unleash dogs unless you tell me it's ok. I will send you pictures regularly. I will not invite anyone at your home. I am home all day and can give your pet 100% of my attention. He can sleep with us at night if that's his habit. Your pet will have lots of attention, half an acre to run in and even walks if needed. We will respect his schedule and habits as much as possible.
“My dog Max appeared to have a wonderful time at Richard and Kelly’s. It’s awesome to have found a place close to work and home to take him for daycare :) 100% going again !!”
About: Some of my pet experience includes bathing dogs, taking care of dogs for friends, having my own dog who i care for, and loving all animals. I’ve trained my dog to for certain commands which i believe is very helpful. All my friends come to me when they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I am a college student with a work load, however no job. A lot of my days are spent in my home doing homework and pet care fits into my schedule because I can always be there to play and take you pets out. I don’t have very long classes either or in a big stretch so your pay would be cared for almost 24/7 I care for pets as if they were my children haha! In my home, I have bowls, treats, and toys for your pets. In your home, I would respect the space and take care of your pet as if it were my own.
“They have been super nice and patient with my dog! I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with them and I get little updates throughout the day so I know that my dog is doing well under their care! They are also very flexible in terms of their times which I really appreciate for my schedule! Overall, really nice people who I can trust to care for my dog!”
“Jessie always does a great job taking care of our sweet, but shy fur baby! We appreciate the pictures and updates she regularly sends us. It makes our hearts happy knowing that our dog is getting wonderful care and lots of love when we’re away!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a little kid. My experience is feeding, walking, training and more! I’m great with helping dogs anxieties and stressors especially in a new environment. I will cater to your dogs needs and will provide a relaxing home. Open availability! I’m a stay at home mom and would love to take care and make sure you and your dog feel comfortable with the environment. I have a lot of experiences with different levels of anxieties and stressors especially in new environments. I will provide a comfortable and cozy home to help the dogs relax.
About: People like me because I LOVE pets so much. I have a 2-year-old chihuahua named Cheeto, and have had many size dogs over the years. I also have a cat named Marvel who is under a year. I grew up on a farm with a variety of animals from small to large, cats, dogs, horses, pigs, rabbits, and a peacock. My friends and family say that I have animal radar and know when one is near. I do well with a variety of temperaments, and warm up to the dog at their own comfort level. I send picture or video updates so the pet parents can keep in touch and not miss them. From past work with a pet brand and learned some good information about dog food and safety; and am a part of a petsitting group online where we share useful learning. I would have 10 dogs if I could, so this is the way to meet more! I look forward to meeting your best friends, and loving them like they are accustomed. I'm grateful to Rover for allowing me to make lifelong friends in addition to my petsitting business. It fits anytime! I do walks, pick-ups for vet or groomer, overnights, days or just multiple visits. I observe and communicate behaviors. Safety is key! Any service in your home, I usually shut doors that won’t be necessary to eliminate accidents during stays, play and walk and give them company or a game. I leave your home like I found it or better and communicate frequently for any direction from you or notification about your pet and home. Get the mail, water plants. At my home, I have a whole floor for them to hang out and look out a huge window to deer, birds, plants. We walk in the suburb, or take car rides if ok. Watch movies, naps. I make sure in any situation that safety and risk assessment is on point. If I don’t know I will ask. If it’s a medium breed or smaller dog in my home, I’ll walk them with my chihuahua, or if not, just walk separately.

About: My home is where I tell people "they have me trained well". I love all animals and believe they deserve the best of treatment as they give to us so unconditionally. Any animal in our household is taken care of as they are our children. Our older dog was raised to be kind to smaller animals and seems to think anything smaller than him is his to take care of. We taught this by stroking gently and telling him to "be nice" this is just a "baby". Animals are never hit or disciplined by any harsh means, we reinforce good behavior. Our dogs get brushed every night around 7:00 and remind us if we miss the time and we treat them to a small snack every evening around 8:30 which they know also.
About: I’ve worked with dogs through house sitting and volunteering at a humane society, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities. I keep things relaxed, follow their routine, and make sure they get lots of love, playtime, and attention! Plus updates so you don’t miss them too much :) I’m currently working part time and a college student! My schedule fluctuates week by week! I have a lot of weekend availability and some week availability for in house staying! For walking your pet I can pretty much work around whatever! With summer coming up my schedule will be changing and I should have lots of extra time! I care for pets by following their normal routine closely in their home like feeding, fresh water, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. For walks, I focus on safe, structured exercise that matches their energy level, making sure they get plenty of time to explore and potty while staying secure on leash. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness.
About: I grew up on a farm around many different types of animals. I believe that your dogs life is short and giving them a good day matters. As a dog mom myself I believe everyone fur baby deserves to spend a few minutes outside everyday especially with their new favorite play date, me! I am a full time first responder thankfully with this schedule I have many days off to rest relax and take your fur baby on an adventure. You have a high energy dog? No worries! I’m a very active individual and wouldn’t mind taking your dog on a run! My dogs enjoy a large front yard they run around in. I believe outside play is important for a dogs mental health. Of course your dog will receive lots of loving and treats from me after a nice long walk outside.

Willing to also stop by and give water, food and walks with some play time on the side .
About: Some of my pet experience includes bathing dogs, taking care of dogs for friends, having my own dog who i care for, and loving all animals. I’ve trained my dog to for certain commands which i believe is very helpful. All my friends come to me when they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I am a college student with a work load, however no job. A lot of my days are spent in my home doing homework and pet care fits into my schedule because I can always be there to play and take you pets out. I don’t have very long classes either or in a big stretch so your pay would be cared for almost 24/7 I care for pets as if they were my children haha! In my home, I have bowls, treats, and toys for your pets. In your home, I would respect the space and take care of your pet as if it were my own.
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have had chickens for about 7 years and 4 dogs for over 15 years. I also have some experience with other animals as well. I grew up with three German shepherds and a crazy hyper Jack Russell. We bred our two german shepherds and kept one puppy from the litter so I do have experience with puppies and the patience to take care of them. The two shepherds I grew up with passed away due to sicknesses so I also have experience taking care of sick dogs and giving them the extra special care they need! I have also taken care of friends pets numerous times. I have always had a love for caring for animals and getting to spend quality time with them. Growing up surrounded by all sorts of pets has given me the skills of patience and how to give the correct care and attention each specific pet needs. I’m currently in school for the medical field and have a pretty full schedule in the mornings during the week. But I have a clear schedule Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and am available in the afternoons during the week. I live in the countryside with many acres of open land so I have plenty of space your pets can roam around, play, and not have to worry about keeping them on a leash when they are being watched. If my client is not comfortable with letting them go without a leash I also have an extremely large fenced in area that small dogs to large dogs cannot get out of. I do have a Jack Russell who is old so I keep other animals away from her to make sure she is safe and not at risk of being hurt since she is older. I also have a German shepherd and she is all love and cuddles and enjoys play time with other dogs and would love another furry friend to play with!
About: Growing up, I have done pet and house sitting in various cities and situations. I come from a family of animal lovers: my mom won't even kill a house insect, and her mom has been know to adopt cats, birds, and even the occasional squirrel! We have no dogs of our own at this point, but I love to watch other peoples' dogs to scratch that canine itch (preferrably behind the ears! 😄) I am a home body with two little ones that are yet to be in school. I will probably be home most of the time your pet is here. We have an unfenced yard with caged chickens, quails, and goats. As a family, we spend lots of time outside and on walks, so your pet will get plenty of time to excercise.
About: Leaving your pet behind can be a very hard thing to do. If you can’t take them with you, I want you to feel confident that they will be loved just as much in your absence, so when you return you have a happy pup and no guilt inside from not being able to take them with you! I have loved animals since I can remember. I love all types, but dogs are my specialty! I have dog sat all my life and will treat your baby as if it was my own child. We have a big yard and safe neighborhood to do lots of playtime and walks! I can do some basic puppy training (sit down, work on potty training) through positive reinforcement. I am great with active and high energy pups and dogs! We have a 13 year old yorkie who is partially blind. I am also very strong if larger dogs need assistance moving around or going to the bathroom. I can manage senior care if they need daily medications or ointments. I have mild grooming experience. I work mostly from home and have all the time to make sure your pet’s needs and wants are taken care of! Lots of short walks and long walks if needed and tons of playtime and snuggle time. I have two dogs, and our heeler especially loves a good playmate! We have two boys, 6 and 9 who are are respectful and have “dog manners” and love all the dogs. My husband is a huge animal lover as well. I never leave our own dogs longer than 4 hours. This will be your dog’s home away from home! Our dogs are our family and we are very careful to keep them leashed when outside, as we don’t have a fence, but love playing outside. I will make sure your dog feels safe and secure at all times with lots of love however they need it! We will follow any dietary restrictions, medical schedules or any special requests. We do request no aggressive dogs for the safety of our children and our own dogs. We have ways to separate with gates in our home if necessary at any point. We do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she is confined to one room at night and out during the day. I will send photos and videos as often as you want! I love capturing pups in action, snoozing or just being goofy!
About: I have been dog sitting around my neighborhood since I was about 13. I have lots of experience not only dog sitting but house sitting as well. I also have experience with puppies and helping train/teach them. My biggest experience is working for a doggie daycare and working at a dog park (BarK for anyone familiar!) Along with this I also have had two cats and two dogs of my own who I love dearly. I am also CPR certified in dog CPR and have basic first-aid experience with animals! I am currently searching for a job so I have plenty of time to focus on you and your pets! I would love to spend as much time as your pets need to make sure they are comfortable and happy :) As of now I won’t be able to offer boarding/daycare at my place but at others houses I want to make sure both human and dog have the best experience possible. I will always check what is expected of the pets during our time together (allowed on furniture? Nice to others on walks? Etc) I make sure that the pets are getting the most out of our time together with lots of interaction and love :)
About: I have taken care of and trained a Doberman Pincher with leash issues. I took in a feral cat and cared for her for 16 years. I am currently taking care of a miniature poodle. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs and I know the power of a calm and assertive energy. I also have a lot of love for cats and understand the process of earning trust. My partner and I have just moved to Blacksburg and I am excited to meet new people. I have all day to care for your pets! My schedule is incredibly flexible. I am an inherently detail oriented and methodical person so following your instructions precisely is always my goal. My flexible schedule and free time will allow me to spend quality time with your pets and make sure they feel loved and cared for.
About: I’ve been dog sitting on and off for a while now. I’ve used other dog sitting apps in the past and I’ve recently moved into a larger house to have plenty of room for your fur baby to have room to run and play. I will provide walks and play time everyday, and if you need baths or anything extra I will. I’m home 90% of the time so your fur baby will never really be alone. I can do dog boarding and/or drop in visits. I’m very flexible and if have a multiple day stay we can negotiate a better price for your babies. Available anytime I can meet for pick up and drops off do home visit or overnights in my house or yours I’m here for any of your needs Big yard we will go on a walk every afternoon at the park with my dog my kids will play fetch for hours never a dull moment

About: As a dedicated pet owner caring for my two dogs Grayson (Beagle) and Maggie (Cocker Spaniel). I manage their daily routines, including walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and health needs. Through my experience I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, safety, and care, as well as skills in providing consistent, loving care. My goal is to bring that same level of attentiveness and warmth to every pet I care for. Additionally, I’ve spent the past two years walking my neighbors’ dogs, which has given me experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide pet care at times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended sitting, I can adapt to your schedule to ensure your pets receive consistent, loving attention whenever needed. Let’s work together to create a care plan that fits seamlessly with your needs! Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in their homes. I treat each home and pet with the same respect and attention I would my own, ensuring a secure and nurturing environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and favorite spots, helping them feel relaxed and happy in their familiar surroundings. I’m committed to open communication, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: @ateamdogcare I have been using rover for 6 years now. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats who have been with the dogs since they were 3 weeks old. We live on 2 acres with a great fenced in yard. We love hosting pets and will treat them like our own. Im always home so let’s can stay on their normal schedules and have someone around while you’re gone. Feel free to message me with any questions! I also have experience with medications, including injectable ones. When your pup comes to stay with us we ask that you bring; their food, treats, favorite toys/bones, bed or blanket, crate (if you use one), bowls, and a leash. Or anything that might make your dogs stay easier! :)
About: I've had many years of experience between keeping my own animals as well as house sitting or just dropping in to check on your pets! I also offer the same service for reptiles! Preferably would like to service closer to Wytheville but will travel in some cases, extra fees will apply depending on distance! Please check your location and the distance between us before you book! I currently have a full time job but I am looking to quit so I can focus on doing nails and going to school part time for that but I need a side hustle! I live in a school bus so I don't really have tons of room to take care of pets there but I am more than willing to come to their homes, I'd prefer that the pet is comfortable as possible and I cannot stay overnight in a home but I can stay as long as needed to make sure the care requirements are met

“Veronica took great care of our dog while we were out of town. It made our trip much more enjoyable knowing our big guy was in good hands. The photos and videos she sent were an added bonus!”
“Russell was in great hands with Vanda. She took great care of him and sent plenty of pictures. We spend quite a bit of time in Lynchburg and hope to ask her to watch him again.”
“Jenny was excellent. Took care of my two huskies while I traveled. She gave my updates just about everyday and that usually included a video/pic. The girls loved running around her fenced in yard and seeing her goats, chickens, and duck from the other side. They also enjoyed playing with her pups as well. Would definitely have my babies stay there again while I travel.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful. Elizabeth gave daily updates with text, pictures and video. Bailey had a wonderful time and loved being around the other dogs on property. Most of all Bailey was able to run free and basically be in the same environment that she has at home. Highly recommend.”
“My belgian malinois, had an amazing weekend with Carmen and her dogs. She was worn out and napped for half of the day afterwards. So, I know she had a great time. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer. Thank you!”
“Sydney was wonderful with both my mini schnauzers. She took care of their every need and gave them lots of love. We have rebooked with her for several more dates and will continue to book with her for boarding in her home.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Maks! It’s clear you truly love animals, and I appreciate your reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup—couldn’t ask for better!”
About: Lifelong dog owner with foster experience through rescue. Comfortable with different personalities and committed to safe, structured care.

I work a full time job during the week with availability most days to come home and check on my animals during the day. I have weekends off with some on call days mixed into the schedule. I live on just under an acre without a fence at the moment. I have 3 dogs who are k9 off leash trained, however, any dogs I bring on the property get leash walked around the property for safety for scheduled potty breaks and playtime.
About: I’ve always been the person who stops to say hi to every dog I pass and always at the cat section at the pet stores. I’ve cared for my own pets for years and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet wants to play all day or just curl up next to someone, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know I’d want the same for my own pets. Pet care fits easily into my routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and whatever else your pet needs throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress free I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and always put their safety and comfort first. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. I’m also a big believer in communication, so you’ll receive updates and photos throughout their stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Maribel welcomed Rocky into her home and kept him happy and active while he was in her care. Maribel has a farm with lots of room to run, animals to fascinate, and even a river to play in. I could tell from the pictures and Rocky's interaction with Maribel and her family that he was well cared for and had a great time, too. She'll be on top of my list of sitters to reach out to in the future.”
“Natalie took care of my sweet pittbull for 26 days while I traveled outside the country! At first I was nervous because the pictures had not been updated and honestly the appearance is slightly jarring at first. However if you can look past that, Natalie is a passionate dog owner, her own dogs are healthy, happy and well trained. My pittbull has tons of allergies and requires supplements, oral drops, baths, and topical foam. Natalie was willing to take that on, and provide a routine for my dog so that she could play, socialize, and be well cared for. Natalie gives daily pictures so you can visualize your dog is safe and sound! Don’t judge a book by its cover!! I am so glad my dog found her rhythm and enjoyed her time with Natalie. Highly recommend her! My dog came back looking shinny and happy! Will book her again!!”
“Holy cow, our dog’s experience with Kurt could not have been better! Kurt kept in amazing touch with us and sent photos of his many adventures with our dog. I would definitely have him as my first choice any time we need care. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!”
“Courtney & Kameron took great care of Barkley while I was away. He went on lots of walks and enjoyed all the extra attention. Courtney sent lots of pic throughout the weekend. Will definitely use them again!!!”
“I would definitely recommend Claire for petsitting. She friendly and accommodating, and our dog seemed very well cared for. Our only problem was finding the house because the address sent to us through Rover was not correct, but hopefully that has been fixed.”
“We’ve used Nancy a few times for boarding our golden retriever pup and she is fantastic! We love her bubbly and welcoming personality. We’ve always felt like our pup has been in great hands with exceptional care. Highly recommend!!!”
“Amari was absolutely wonderful with Frost! She took him on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated, and he had an amazing time in her care. It was clear from the updates and from how happy and relaxed Frost was when we picked him up that he was well cared for and loved. Amari is reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs she watches. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Amari, for taking such great care of Frost!”
“Our pup completed her first stay with Jessie last night. It went so well. Jessie sent me pictures during the visit and you can really notice the happiness in our Toni’s visit. We are so happy to have found a Jessie, Toni is definitely looking forward to her next schedules stay.”
