“2nd time booking and Domino was absolutely thrilled and right at home from the moment he arrived. No stress at all this time. Care and communication were excellent, as always. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“Richard took phenomenal care of my dog, Bruno, and I could not recommend him more highly. He truly went above and beyond during Bruno’s stay. Bruno has a daily skin care routine and requires medications, and Richard handled everything perfectly. By the time we picked Bruno up, his skin honestly looked better than when we dropped him off. Richard is clearly experienced and confident administering all types of medications, including injections, which gave me a huge sense of relief and comfort. It’s not easy to find someone you fully trust with a dog that has medical needs, but I felt completely comfortable leaving Bruno in his care. We had daily updates which put our minds at ease You can tell Richard genuinely loves dogs. Bruno got constant attention, enjoyed his backyard, and clearly loved spending time with Richard and his family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bruno was being cared for like part of the family. We will absolutely book with Richard again. Richard is officially our new Rover when we go on vacation.”
“Maria was wonderful with our dog and sent plenty of photos and updates. This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous but it couldn’t have been a better experience.”
“Ali did an amazing job watching our pup for five days! Cooper is an eight month old morkie who is going through a skittish phase with new people. Ali and her family put him right at ease and updated me with photos throughout the week. I could tell he was relaxed and felt right at home! Staying with a family was a much better option for Cooper than a kennel. I would highly recommend Ali and will be using her services again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care our baby received! From the very start, communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring. I got many regular photo and video updates throughout the day, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Our pup came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during the stay. The home was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it’s obvious that the lovely family truly treated our Geumdongyi like family. The extra effort and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for peace of mind while away!”
“If I could give Colleen 6 stars, Ace and I would. Colleen treats Ace like he is one of her own. He loves seeing her every time she comes over for a walk and while I miss him when I am away for business trips, I don't worry one moment. Great communication and 110% dependable.”
“James and Iryna provided excellent care for my dog. They shared frequent updates, fed every meal on time, and made a genuine effort to help my dog adjust to the new environment. I truly appreciate their time, patience, and thoughtfulness throughout the boarding period.”
“Stacie is wonderful with dogs and her doodle is very dog friendly. I loved the many pics she sent while we were away! I felt worry-free seeing my dog was having such a nice time. We will definitely use her again!”
“Danielle was amazing! Very communicative and sent tons of pictures/videos. Kai’lo had a blast with all his new friends and was even very sad when he got picked up. Thank you for taking such great care of him! Will definitely continue booking with her.”
“Chaoran was great. She took good care of Elsa and kept me informed about how she was doing. When I went to pick her up, Elsa seemed a bit conflicted as to whether she would prefer to stay there or come home with me.😂 I took that as a good sign.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Leslie provided for our dog, Siku, over the 9 days we were away. From the very beginning, Leslie was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made us feel completely at ease leaving Siku in her care. Throughout our trip, Leslie kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us. It was clear that Siku was not only well cared for, but also happy and comfortable. When we returned, Siku was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been given lots of attention and love. Leslie truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have found someone we trust. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter—and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Yang was amazing with Mochi!! Whenever I was wondering how Mochi was doing, Yang sent me a bunch of pictures of Mochi. I never had doubts to how she was doing and how she was behaving. Mochi is hard to trust new people but she felt instantly at home with Yang. If you are on the fence, go with confidence.”
“I can’t say enough positive things about Tamara. Lola cried when she left her and there was clearly a genuine bond between them. This service and finding sitters like Tamara is invaluable. She sends the sweetest pictures! Would absolutely recommend her to watch your “dinky dog,” and I will see if she is available whenever I need a sitter for my rescue pooch.”
“Lydia did an outstanding job taking care of my little chihuahua, Penny. Penny has never been boarded before, and Lydia took excellent care of her. Lydia was very caring and sent me photos and videos every day. It was comforting to know that my Penny was in loving hands. Lydia, thank you so much.”
“Ana-Karina and her husband were amazing with Dobby. She sent us videos of him playing and exercising outside. Dobby returned home happy. It was clear that he was well taken care of.”
“Ashley and her family took great care of our cat MJ! The pictures Ashley sent of MJ having fun makes us smile and laugh. We have to ask ourselves, “is that our cat?” because MJ is so comfortable and out going with Ashley and her family. Ashley - thank you for the great care you give to MJ!”
“Eli had a fantastic time with Carolina. He has never been boarded and we had never used Rover, Carolina reassured us that he was in great care and gave us frequent updates. Even gave Eli a new toy to bring home because he loved it so much while with her.”

“We hired Alexandra for drop-ins for our cat and she was great! At our first meeting she immediately was sitting on the floor giving our cat the affection he was requesting, and he was so happy. While we were gone she gave him all the cuddles he needed (we could tell by his behavior when we returned) and she followed the instructions we left. She always responded to messages quickly and communicated clearly. Definitely recommend.”
About: I provide reliable, attentive pet care and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable while their owners are away. Every booking includes morning and evening updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple pets at once, including dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, and ensuring each pet receives the individual attention they need. I've cared for family pets, friends' dogs, and pets with unique care requirements. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for other animals such as lizards and fish, which has taught me the importance of following care instructions carefully and maintaining consistent routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, stress-free experience while keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I'm often available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and extended companionship during house-sitting stays. I'm currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and varying times of day. This flexibility helps me accommodate your pet's routine and provide consistent care while you're away. Because of my flexible schedule, I'm often able to spend more time with pets throughout the day than sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs, helping them receive more companionship, exercise, and attention. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet-sitting experience. Since I care for pets in their own home, I respect your space and maintain your pet's normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you're away. During walks, your pet's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashing, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid potentially unsafe situations such as busy roads or unfamiliar dogs. I take the time to understand each pet's behavior, personality, and comfort level to ensure safe and enjoyable walks.
“Colleen F. cared for our kitties over a four day period and was absolutely great!! I have never used a pet service before and was a little uneasy about it. My 3 guys (all with unique personalities and needs) received fresh food, water, and medication daily. The litter boxes were cleaned and they enjoyed Colleen's love and attention. It all began with a "meet and greet" prior to our trip. Colleen came by, met the kitties and we discussed their daily routines. I liked Colleen immediately and was confident she would care for them well. She was very open, easy going, and really tried to connect with each kitty. One of our boys requires medication daily, one is shy, and the 3rd, very outgoing. She connected with all three at the initial meeting and while we were away. The communication was outstanding! I received text notifications of Colleen's arrival and departure. She shared updates about each kitty during her visits and included photos and videos of each. I knew my kitties were content and happy. I am very pleased with the care my kitties received and would definitely have Colleen care for my pets in the future. She was fantastic!”
About: Hi, I'm Kate! I grew up with cats and have had at least one cat in my household at all times for my entire life. I have extensive experience with diabetic cats, including administering insulin injections, and have cared for elderly cats necessitating multiple visits per day. In my experience, cats can identify cat people, and I have been able to quickly and consistently gain the trust of even very standoffish cats. As a cat parent myself, I know leaving your fur babies can be worrying, so my goal is to alleviate that. I provide consistent updates and spend extra time giving pets, playtime, and making sure every cat feels loved and cared for while their parent is away. I would love to meet your kitties and hope to provide a great experience for both you and your cat!
“Working with Danielle was fantastic! We are so grateful that she accepted our request to care for our young kitty while we were out of town. Regarding pet care, Danielle is certainly the perfect blend of experience and kindness, giving us confidence that she knows well both how to care for our pet and how to make his visit terrific. Danielle certainly exceeded our expectations on both fronts, and for that we are appreciative. We look forward to working with her again!”
“Kelly is THE best. Extra plus that she has vet tech experience and administering meds to them is no problem. The kitties love her too. So reliable and she is great with her photo and visit updates. We have piece of mind knowing our babies are in good hands when away from home. We will continue to use her!”
“Ella took excellent care of our three cats, two of which require medication twice a day. She is very responsible left the house spotless. We highly recommend her, she's great!”
About: I'm passionate about providing loving, reliable care for your furry family members. With extensive pet experience, I understand that every animal has unique needs and can accommodate to their nature. I am currently working remotely part time, so my schedule is very open and flexible and I am looking to be more active in pockets of my free time. I look forward to cater to your needs. Personally in my home, my dog has the house to himself. But I value whichever approach you follow for your comfort and pet's safety and will comply with instruction.
“Marjorie was great! She did a meet and greet and the cats loved her. We always had an update on her visits. Would definitely request for her again if she is available”
“Nouf was fantastic! She took great care of my cat and was flexible throughout my time away. Her communication was clear and I always knew my cat was doing well. She made sure my cat had her dinner with medication, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing before leaving. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Brianna is such a peppy and lovely lady, our cats loved her! We are super thankful for her to take care of them while we were away for Christmas. She was super flexible and sent complete updates with pictures every day.”
“Heidi is amazing!!! So thankful to have her watch my kitties…. I felt so comfortable with her in my home and caring for my fur babies!!! I highly recommend Heidi if you are looking for a pet sitter!!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Katie, I’m 20 and a huge animal lover! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and can’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs of my own, a playful young Labrador I’ve trained myself, and a sweet 13-year-old Westie, so I understand the needs of both energetic pups and senior dogs. Over the past several years, I’ve cared for many neighbors’ pets, including dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, medication, or just a little extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, their comfort and happiness are always my top priorities! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine because animals are already a huge part of my life. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to early walks, feeding schedules, and making time throughout the day for attention, play, and exercise. I’m very organized and flexible, so I can adjust my schedule around each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I always follow your instructions closely, from feeding and walk schedules to any specific needs your pet may have. I make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own space and give them plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own, and I understand how important it is to build trust, both with your pet and with you. Safety is always my top priority, and I do everything I can to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.
“Isabelle did a great job with my two senior kitties. She paid special attention to the health of one of them who I’m worried about. Made sure they were both eating and getting some extra protein and played with them. She was reliable and very timely, kept to her schedule as discussed and took care of the little pans. Will hire her again!”

“Yang took amazing care of Ranger. She sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was at work. She was clearly attentive to his comfort and routine.

About: I will treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with dogs most of my life and recently lost a dog-son to a cancer 2 years ago.

About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house.

“Colleen was great. She was able to accommodate our short notice. She even provided the time, length of walk, and potty occurrences. She was prompt, courteous and professional. We would absolutely suggest giving her a try. Thanks Colleen!”
About: I have always had pets. Growing up we had a dog, and cat. Our cat who lived to be 17, was more like a dog-cat. He always had to be held like a baby, sat at the dinner table with us, and needed cuddles. Since then I had a golden retriever/husky mix named Bella who lived to be 10. She was there for both of my daughters coming into this world, and whom they still talk about to this day (with their Bella pillows, and Bella blankets I made them). Now, we have Penny, an almost 4 year old Chihuahua/Terrier mix who is our love! We adopted her when she was 9 months old. She keeps us entertained, and loved! There will never not be a time in my life where I won't have a pet. It's so important for my kids to grow up learning how to love and take care of an animal too. I currently have a full-time job that is work from home. This allows me time to walk my dog, and yours too! It's the breaks in my day that I enjoy it the most! I am a very affectionate, loving pet care taker. I have always spoiled my pets, and others too! The walk is the highlight of my dogs day, so I make sure she gets her sniffs in, and enjoys every second. It's a bonus for me for the exercise! I just enjoy watching her be happy.
About: I’m very good at following owner instructions and very timely, ensuring promptness. I’ve looked over dogs from ages 2-15, so I am able to handle young pups and sweet senior dogs! While I’m active and able to keep up with high energy dogs, I have great experience with anxious dogs as well. I also have great experience with friendly, younger pups. I’ve taken care of my boyfriend-of-3 years’ dogs(4 of them!), as well as dog-sat throughout high school. I just graduated from William & Mary and starting a full-time job in August, so for the next three months, I have nearly full availability! Aside from a pre-planned trip in late July and plans during the July 4th weekend, I am free for dog walking, dog visits, and dog sitting! I am extremely aware of pet and owner needs. I follow owner instructions diligently, and I provided my undivided attention to the pets I care for.

About: Nice to meet you! I’m a college student at JMU and have taken care of different animals all my life, and often get asked by family and friends to pet sit-caring from animals as small as hamsters to larger dogs like german shepherds. I am very used to walking large dogs, as I have grown up with german shepherds all my life, and I am very used to taking care of animals with disabilities or special dietary needs. For example, my childhood dog had a pancreatic disorder where I fed her a special diet and am accustomed to carefully following directions and making sure everyone is safe and healthy. I absolutely love cats as well, I have a cat named Moss who is very very spoiled and loved. I am a very clean and responsible person who can be trusted to watch over your loved one and home. 🩵I am offering discounted rates for clients looking for daily recurring dog walks. (For example: 1 walk a day five days a week, but can be more than 1 ofcourse depending on your needs) I understand the importance of dogs getting their daily exercise in and want to be helpful for someone who’s understandably on the fence about scheduling something that can be a costly service. Please feel free to message me about getting this set up if you’re interested, I want to help out anyone I can.🩵 Some things that will be firmly and vehemently followed in my care: -Doors will be verified locked every time I leave, I understand how important it is to keep the home secure and your pet safe. -Your pet will NOT be lost under my care (I have seen the horror stories as well and can’t even fully fathom how awful that would be to experience) -I will follow housekeeping tasks requested by the home owner -I will strictly follow both household and pet care guidelines instructed by the owner. Thank you so much for your time! 🩵 I am a college student home for the summer so I am very available, please don’t hesitate in reaching out so we can coordinate a schedule! :) I will care for the pets and home with the upmost amount of care and respect. Im very concerned about making sure the pet is comfortable and safe at all times, and keeping the home very clean. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone to take care of your loved ones and home, and I want to reassure you that I am very responsible, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will follow any specific instructions you provide and am happy to give regular updates, whether that’s photos, messages, or calls, to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, and your home will be left just as you found it. I'm here to make your time away as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. :)
About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family has always had a least 2 pets, even having 15 at one point. My love for animals has run deep in me since I was a child, which is why I am currently a pre veterinary student at the College of William and Mary. I have experience training puppies including potty training, assisting senior pets, and providing a full and fun life for all animals. I have previously worked at multiple equestrian training facilities and farms, so I understand how to handle larger animals. I am versed in problem solving and strive to make all pets feel safe and happy. I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your animals. I care for my pets on a daily basis so I am always improving my skills and knowledge about the best care practices. I understand every pet and home is different so I try to cater the care to each client, however there are a few things that will always stay the same. First I always ensure I understand the pets feeding and bathroom schedule. This is vital to ensure the happiness and health of all pets. Second I try to make your pet as comfortable with me as possible. Sometimes new people can be scary, so I would allow your pet to make the first move and establish their level of comfort. I find this creates a level of trust and care between me and your pet. Third I follow any specific instructions given by you, the owner. The families always know their pets best, so following their directions helps ensure your pets safety and comfort.
About: I have had all different types of animals since I was a kid. For the past several years I have spent time fostering cats and dogs as well as adopting my own dog, (who is blind), Willow! I currently have a work from home job that allows for a flexible schedule and availability that can fit the needs of you and your animals! They will be given attention throughout the day and walked as needed. I am home all day to monitor the animal(s) and I have toys, crates of different sizes and gates if they are ever needed. Local to several nature trails and dog parks as well as many dog-friendly establishments that I frequent in warmer weather!

“2nd time booking and Domino was absolutely thrilled and right at home from the moment he arrived. No stress at all this time. Care and communication were excellent, as always. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Maria was wonderful with our dog and sent plenty of photos and updates. This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous but it couldn’t have been a better experience.”
“If I could give Colleen 6 stars, Ace and I would. Colleen treats Ace like he is one of her own. He loves seeing her every time she comes over for a walk and while I miss him when I am away for business trips, I don't worry one moment. Great communication and 110% dependable.”
“James and Iryna provided excellent care for my dog. They shared frequent updates, fed every meal on time, and made a genuine effort to help my dog adjust to the new environment. I truly appreciate their time, patience, and thoughtfulness throughout the boarding period.”
“Stacie is wonderful with dogs and her doodle is very dog friendly. I loved the many pics she sent while we were away! I felt worry-free seeing my dog was having such a nice time. We will definitely use her again!”
“Danielle was amazing! Very communicative and sent tons of pictures/videos. Kai’lo had a blast with all his new friends and was even very sad when he got picked up. Thank you for taking such great care of him! Will definitely continue booking with her.”
“Chaoran was great. She took good care of Elsa and kept me informed about how she was doing. When I went to pick her up, Elsa seemed a bit conflicted as to whether she would prefer to stay there or come home with me.😂 I took that as a good sign.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Leslie provided for our dog, Siku, over the 9 days we were away. From the very beginning, Leslie was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made us feel completely at ease leaving Siku in her care. Throughout our trip, Leslie kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us. It was clear that Siku was not only well cared for, but also happy and comfortable. When we returned, Siku was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been given lots of attention and love. Leslie truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have found someone we trust. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter—and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Eli had a fantastic time with Carolina. He has never been boarded and we had never used Rover, Carolina reassured us that he was in great care and gave us frequent updates. Even gave Eli a new toy to bring home because he loved it so much while with her.”
“Our pups were well taken care of by Darnell! We felt our dogs were welcomed by the family and even had some doggie playmates! Darnell sent us pictures daily and updated us on how our pups were doing. We had a last minute request for doggie sitting due to a family funeral and Darnell had no problem taking our pups in last minute. We recommend him and would use his services again in the future!”
“This was the first time our dog, Shira, stayed with Catherine, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Catherine asked a number of questions about Shira so that she could make her feel comfortable and relaxed as Shira can be anxious in new environments. Catherine also took Shira on multiple walks and gave her lots of attention so that after just a few hours Shira was feeling right at home.”
“Caroline and her family took great care of Zeke. She sent pictures and updates. I didn’t worry about him while I was away. He came home happy. I will definitely request her services in the future!”
“Sudha is AMAZINGG!!! From the time we scheduled the meet and greet to the very end, Bailey and I both immediately felt so comfortable with Sudha and her adorable pup Thor. Bailey has stayed with many dog sitters, but she’s never warmed up to someone this quickly and I’ve never felt this confident in having someone outside our family take care of Bailey as I did with Sudha. Highly recommend!!!! ❤️”
“Great pet sitter! He was really flexable with the hours and replied very quickly to any questions and requests over the app! I'll definitely ask for him to dog sit again next time!”
“Mike and his family were excellent in watching Gertie, who had never been boarded before. They made her feel at home and their own two dogs helped keep her not only entertained but her mind at ease while we were gone! We received countless updates and photos during her stay and Mike was very responsive when answering questions about the boarding process and coordinating for pickup/drop off. Would easily recommend them as well as use again in the future.”
“Muffin had the most wonderful 2 week stay at Deb’a house and loved hanging out with her darling dog, Trixie. We received pictures and updates from Deb on a regular basis and she was so kind to give Muffin a bath at a very short notice. Deb’s house was a home away from our own home for Muffin and I look forward to boarding Muffin in the future for sure. Hunter kept Muffin company and Muffin was so happy there! Thank you Deb for opening your house up for Muffin and loving on him while we were away!”
“My babies LOVE Hayleigh. I actually think Sandy was a little sad when we first picked her up. Thank you Hayleigh for treating my babies like your own. We will definitely be using your services again.”
