Personalized care for your dog or cat - Williamsburg
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Williamsburg
“Angela is simply wonderful. She took excellent care of our 13 year old Pit Bull mix while we were on our two week vacation. Our dog wasn’t used to being away from us that long and since he had always received a lot of attention and care, we were worried about finding someone who would take just as good care of him. From the moment we met Angela, we felt completely at ease. Her warm, positive attitude immediately reassured us, and she wasn’t fazed at all by our dog’s hip issues and reduced mobility. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was extremely well cared for, and we are so grateful to Angela for the love and attention she gave him. We would absolutely choose her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week. Her daughters seemed really engaged and loving on my dog, making me feel confident she was receiving all the love and affection she gets at home. When I picked her up, my dog seemed so relaxed, almost as if she hadn’t been gone all that time, helping me feel confident she was safe and loved on. Usually after boarding in a facility, my dog is highly anxious, extra agitated and disheveled. None of that here with Sarah. Her and her family were truly the best sitters. I never worried once while away.”
“Angela was the perfect dog mom for our Skye. She adjusted to Skye's schedule and Skye learned how to make her needs known. Angela sent us daily photos and a few videos, so we could be assured that Skye was doing well. Skye will definitely be returning in the future.”
“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”
“Ester was great with Zeus. Zeus is very energetic, and had a wonderful time. I was sent videos of him during his stay. Will definitely book with Ester again.”
“Laura did amazing with Romeo, she updated us everyday on how he was doing and was very responsive. Romeo was in very good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Working with Julia and Colin was our first Rover experience and we could not be happier with how it went! Julia is extremely communicative and made the process easy. Our dog took to them very quickly and we could tell she was made comfortable in their home. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“Andrew and his family treated my Oscar as part of their family. He was in constant communication with me while I was away in Italy for almost 3 weeks. Andrew is very kind and very easy/flexible. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a trustworthy person to watch their furbabies! Thank you Andrew!”
“Ashlee did wonderful taking care of my 11yo Shih tzu and 2yo Goldendoodle. She took them on walks, and sent me updates while I was on my trip!! She was flexible with the time changes in my travel and made it easy for me to pick them up!! I know my pups were in great care with Ashlee!! Thanks again ☺️”
“Gabriel treated our dog like his own. He took him out for many walks per day and my dog loved playing with his cute little one! He was super communicative and sent us updates every day. We won't hesitate to book with Gabriel again.”
“Auria was excellent. Her communication skills were great (very important). She easily accommodated special requests - such as taking a birthday photo of my dog for my daughter’s birthday while we are away.”
“Yolanda was great Milo had a good time to the point he’s been sleeping at home since we got him back lol! She sent pictures and updates , i felt really good and comfortable dropping Milo off for the week and going on vacation without worrying . I will most definitely be returning when needing a rover !”
“My two huskies had such a good time! Kim and her husband took such great care of them! They sent us videos and pictures which definitely helped knowing they were in good hands :) 100/10 recommend”
“Alyssa is the best! Something came up and I wanted to drop off Maggie early. Not a problem she said. I was late picking Maggie up. Not a problem she said. She understands things happen. I know Maggie is in great hands whenever she is there. This is Maggie's second family now. Give Alyssa a try one time and she will become your dogs second family as well, I promise. Thanks Alyssa!!”
“Frank was really wonderful with Josie. He was very communicative and sent lots of photos during her stay. Highly recommended, will definitely be a repeat customer”
“This was the first time I left our 8 year old schnauzer, Winnie, with Jill K. Everything went very well. Jill is very accommodating with drop off and pick up times and her home is set up perfect for her doggie clients. She has a nice fenced in yard, a room just for the visiting dog(only for when Jill is away from home) and two very cute, friendly dogs ! Both Winnie and her Mom were overall very pleased with Jill's service and will definitely return !”
“Mitch was very accommodating with my last minute booking request. After a quick meet and greet, I left my 4 year old pup in good hands for an overnight stay. Mitch has a nice big fenced in yard for the dogs to play, he was very responsive with his communication and provided photo updates. Would definitely recommend.”
“Monique is the absolute best!! My dog is instantly excited when he gets dropped off with her. She provides fun updates throughout his stay and lots of pics but also lots of love to those in her care. Shes our go to!”
“I knew Rupert would be in excellent care from the moment we met Rebecca & her family prior to his stay. They are very friendly, easy-going people who clearly enjoy welcoming new dogs into their home. Rupert is very social & has a lot of energy. It was perfect that they have dogs of their own & a large fenced-in yard, giving Rupert plenty of room & freedom to run & play with his new friends. I appreciated the daily check-ins, complete with pictures & videos & short reports about how Rupert was doing. I will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”

“Ilene was great! We have a foster cat in quarantine with an infection and wanted someone to spend time with him while we were out of town. Ilene was able to give him some quality time and attention, he was a happy camper. The updates we got were good and the photos were perfect. Thank you!”
“Tressa cared for my elderly rabbit over a weekend. She gave him his arthritis medications and provided informative notes about how things were going as well as photos.”

I felt super comfortable with Jessica being in my house while I was away and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! 🤩”

“Katie was an awesome sitter for our kitty! She and Winnie hit it off right away at their preliminary meeting. While we were out of town, Katie was prompt with her visits and thorough with her notes, and she sent lots of clear, high-quality photos. We highly recommend her services!”
“Abigail provided outstanding cat sitting on short notice for me over the holidays. She sent regular updates with a lot of photos and tailored the experience to my cat's preferences. Highly recommend for her professionalism and genuine care!”
“Hope was so amazing with my kitty! She left very detailed notes, giving me complete peace of mind while I was dealing with a loss in the family. Hope was extremely communicative and responsive which was very helpful. She not only made sure my kitty’s basic needs were met, but went above and beyond to play with her, too. Very grateful for a phenomenal sitter like Hope. 😇”
“Carrianne was fantastic! She was very thorough in her daily updates on our cat Ivy. Ivy got along very well with her and we will definitely rebook Carrianne in the future!”
About: I know every cat is different, so I like to take the time to get to know their personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful and social or more shy and independent, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'm reliable, pay close attention to care instructions, and will care for your pets and home the same way I would my own.
“Hanna was such a great drop-in sitter for my cat Glenn. She provided updates and pictures everyday which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely use her again 😊.”
“Whitney was amazing with our two cats! She left wonderful comments and pictures from each visit and our place was very clean when we came home (usually there is litter everywhere around the litter boxes) ? Will definitely have her take care of them again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Williamsburg
“Kim is amazing! We always have her watch our dachshund Wendi whenever we go out of town or have an event to go to. She is so responsive and such a kind person! When she’s watching our dog, we know our dog is in great hands.Our dog always comes home happy and sleepy after hanging out with Kim and her dog! Thank you!!”
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.
“Mickey loved his afternoon with Jessica! She took him for walks and made him feel at home. He was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Jessica is such a kind soul, we feel extemely fortunate to have found her!”
“Dane is fantastic; couldn’t recommend him more. Our pup loves getting to hang out with him and his goldens. We’re pretty sure our dog would prefer to live with Dane and his dogs if he could! We know that our dog has a great time because whenever we turn down the street that Dane lives on, our dog loses it with excitement regardless if we’re dropping him off or on our way somewhere else. Great backyard, the sweetest goldens and super nice humans. Definitely a winning trio.”
“Miranda took care of my dog like nobody would. She was flexible and patient, and I will absolutely take my dear Galleta with her again. Miranda is super reliable and clearly loves animals. Galleta had lots of fun with her dog, Bandit. Thanks a lot for an amazing daycare experience for my dog!”
About: I focus on understanding dogs. I pay attention to the little things—how your dog is feeling, what motivates them, and what helps them feel safe, confident, and happy on every walk. I’m the kind of person who notices the subtle changes others miss. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or simply loves to sniff every tree, I adapt each walk to what they need that day. My goal isn’t just exercise—it’s giving your dog an experience they genuinely enjoy while giving you complete peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your dog. Send me a message—I’d be happy to answer questions or schedule a free meet-and-greet. I am currently available to book most days of the week as dog care is my passion. Please feel free to reach out to set up a meet and greet. I am currently available to take care of pets in client’s home. I am flexible with needs, dates, and times. Let me know how I can help 🙂
“Auria took great care of Zeus! She was also very accommodating to our last minute request to extend his stay a couple hours longer. I would definitely recommend Auria to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol
About: My name is Alisha. I work as a professional dog trainer. I have 7 years of professional experience with both cats and dogs. I have also house-sat multiple times and have great references! I know how to give cats and dogs proper care and attention. I have worked with hundreds of animals professionally through my work in multiple animal shelters as a kennel tech and shelter manager. I am working towards certification in dog training too! While watching or walking your pup I will be sure to watch for opportunities to learn! When it comes to your pets care you deserve someone who knows all about them! I will take the time to learn about your pet and your routines to keep your pet comfortable and happy in your absence! I am currently working part time! I have plenty of time throughout the day most days to do check ins and walks for your pets! I have 7 years of professional experience and 4 years of education in animal behavior. With this I am able to keep a keen eye on the safety of your pets environment!
“Emily was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of pictures and messages, which made me feel so comfortable knowing my puppy was in such great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared for him and treated him like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I can’t wait for our next visit. Emily is truly amazing, and I highly recommend her!”
“Liz was wonderful! Maisie felt right at home with her, and we appreciated Liz's flexibility with our schedule as we got into town. We enjoyed our day while Maisie got to hang out and play with Liz!”
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
“I absolutely love having Monica as our sitter. She’s very responsive and sends consistent photos our pup. We never have to worry about whether or not our dog is receiving the care she needs. She’s that best! You should definitely book her!”
About: We love animals but aren’t in a place in our lives to have our own. We’d love to be able to get some pet love while still being able to keep our flexible lifestyle. We thought pet sitting would be the best way to do so! We genuinely love pet sitting/housesitting since we just love doing new things together. We are very responsible and are almost always reachable by text. We have a car and are willing to travel to you. We are excited to hear from you soon :) I only work in office Tuesday through Thursday from 9-5, other than that I am usually home. On those days I can feed them before and after work. Ethan (my boyfriend) also works fully remote so he’ll be around to take care of the pets on the days I’m in office. A midday walk is a great way to get him out of the house We have the top level of a duplex. It’s a pretty open space. We love to go on walks and spend time with furry friends. We’re really good about sending photo updates and checking in with the owners throughout the day.
About: I had a 12 year old puggle who was my best friend! He was walked every day of his life. Now that he has passed, I am looking to spend time with other furry companions! I am recently retired, so I have lots of time and a very flexible schedule! I love all dogs and am very gentle with all pets. I love downtown and know all kinds of routes for your pets. I am an active person so long or short walks are easy for me to do!
About: 20+ years experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and breeds! Professional, punctual, caring, and fun! My services are especially catered to meet your pets needs. Experienced with administering medications and older aged animals as well. Daily pics and report will be provided to owners each day you are away! Enrichment, toys, and treats are supplied. I look forward to working with your furbabies! I'm currently doing this full-time time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm also available weekends and holidays. 🐶❤️ I have no kids or pets. Your pet will be pampered and treated as one of my very own! As well as receiving 1:1 attention and lots of TLC. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed. Snuggles are welcome.
About: I helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.

“Mac did a great job with my pup Cody! He took him on a nice long walk and sent great pictures. His communication was excellent and he was very easy to work with. I highly recommend Max and will be using him again in the future!”
“Jessica is great! On time every day and very communicative with any changes. She was understanding of any modifications we needed to make with days or times and our Mona looked forward to seeing her!”
“Met with Maggie for a meet and greet and a walk. Maggie was very responsive and prompt. She was communicative in the app, providing pictures and updates on their potty breaks as well. I’m looking forward to working with her again.”
“Yesterday was the first time walking our dog. Jessica communicated when she would arrive, when walking our dog, where they walked and shared photos of our dog taking a walk. I was out of town and felt very confident that Jessica was taking good care of our dog. We will have Jessica take care of Louie, our dog, again.”
About: Hi! I'm Kalina. I've been around animals my whole life, and they've always been a huge part of it. I've worked with rescue dogs and have experience with pets of all different personalities, so I know that every animal deserves patience, understanding, and care that's tailored to them. I have two cats and a deaf dog of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. My deaf pup has taught me a lot about paying attention to body language, being patient, and finding what works best for each individual pet. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves to play or would rather curl up on the couch, I'm happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll treat them like they're my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you're back home. Care for your pet fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. That allows me to be available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet's needs. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or spending extra time keeping your fur baby company, I'm happy to work around their routine to help them feel comfortable, happy and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll carefully follow any instructions you leave regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences. I've been around animals my whole life and have experience working with rescue dogs. My mom also fosters dogs, and I've cared for many of her foster dogs while she's away. That experience has taught me to be patient with dogs who may be shy, anxious, or still adjusting to new people and environments. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they're my own. I'll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Carrianne was able to help us with a last minute walk for our dog. She took the time to stop by the day before to meet him. We appreciated the help and would book her again if the chance comes up!”
“First time using Rover! Excellent experience. Travis was awesome. Prior to her first walk with him, he came over for a meet and greet which was very helpful. Right away, Whinnie could tell he was a dog lover. He also was very responsive to all of my questions I had in person and via the app. We will definitely use him again! It is such a good feeling to know our pup is being taken care of.”
About: From family pets, growing up on a farm, pet sitting in college, to multiple years taking care of animal ambassadors as a naturalist, I've been working with and caring for critters of all sorts for nearly as long as I can remember! For critters in the pet category, I have been caring for indoor cats since 2018, from kittens to seniors and every stage in between, including administering medications. My family has had medium/large dogs (rottweilers, labs, and border collie and boxer mixes) my whole life but I have also pet sat for smaller breeds like Boston terriers and cavalier king Charles spaniels. My time as a naturalist gave me experience working with not only varied species, but varied personalities. From grumpy skunks to mischievous snakes and dramatic birds, I have extensive experience across the gambit. It also provided experience with very specific care instructions and detailed documentation. I like to provide pet parents with a thorough summary of my time with their pet so they don't have to worry while they're away. My schedule varies week to week from periods of no availability to periods of open availability, I will make sure to keep things updated so you know what to expect! In fall of 2025, I finished my 2,200+ mile thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. What does that mean for pet care? I LOVE to walk and do so whenever I get the chance! I would love to have your pet join me! I am very detail oriented and will follow your care instructions to a T! I also provide my pet parents a detailed summary of my visit for peace of mind, every time!
About: ** Discounted rates as I built up reviews on this app!** I’m a true animal lover ready to give your pets the next best thing to your own love! My experience spans singlehandedly training a puppy during my teen years, caring for a 3 legged rescue, and my recent every day and extended dog sitting for my roommate’s 80 lb reactive Pitbull, I’m ready and happy to handle just about anything with compassion, care, and dedication! As a retail worker, my schedule stays flexible, so I’m a perfect candidate for both midday visits or long term stays. Whether your dog needs a multi mile walk or a quick potty break, I’m ready to make it work! As someone who also has childcare experience, I know how to be an unobtrusive, responsible, and respectful guest in your home. I value strong communication and can easily adjust my typical care style to your preferences and boundaries. I’ll be sure to always wipe those paws before letting your pup loose :)
About: I have pet sit for both friends and family for extended periods of time. Being responsible for care such as feeding, cleaning up after, and walking. I get done with work at 2 everyday so I am available for afternoon visits. I also have weekends and occasional wednesdays off so I can spend more time with the animals on those days. I make sure to follow owners directions exactly as written. And take care for animals how I would want my own animals to be cared for.
About: I have had experience caring for many different kinds of animals throughout my life, such as dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and fish. I am comfortable and confident with walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I am a full-time grad student, and I also work a part-time job. My schedule is a little different each weekday, sometimes with breaks in the middle of the day. I am available all day on the weekends. I do not currently care for any pets in my home. I am not currently accepting jobs that require a pet to stay in my home.
“Mika was amazing. They took the time to connect with my boy. My boy is hesitant about letting people getting him out of the crate and Mika was so sweet with Salvador. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.
About: I had dogs growing up and own two myself now. I just love our furry friends! Familiar with lap dogs, work dogs and hunting dogs. I have a great deal of experience with oral, eye and ear medications for dogs as well as being a nurse at a local hospital by trade. I have a flexible schedule that changes week to week, so I can arrange dog services to fit my work schedule before the week begins. I have a tendency to talk to my dogs, and others dogs, like a crazy person... but I promise I am not crazy. I find the level of attention they feel coming from you is amplified when you speak to them, even if they don't understand what you are saying, lol! I have an athletic dogs as well as a lap dog myself and I am therefore used to medium and high energy levels from them. My condo unit is filled with sun and nice and warm in the colder months. Dogs are allowed to roam when I am home and also my furniture is pet-friendly. I play catch and tug of war with one of my dogs and take them on walks daily. I am happy to do all the same things with someone's pet, or more if the particular dog requires.
About: As someone who grew up on a small farm, I have been around a variety of animals since birth. I have experience caring for a variety of species and am comfortable handling any animal. I have volunteered with local animal shelters for over a decade, so I also have extensive experience caring for pets with behavioral issues and medical needs. I am a part-time sitter who is providing pet care services in addition to my full-time work. However, as a professor at a local university, I have a very flexible daily schedule and can easily provide pet care during typical business hours. Additionally, I do not work in the summer, which increases my availability from mid-May to September. I am very intentional about the number of clients I take at a time to ensure that I can provide comprehensive care to booked clients. I believe open communication is most important to be able to provide safe and reliable care for your pets. During our meet and greet, I will ask many questions to ensure that I have a full picture of what caring for your pet requires and how to meet your expectations. As someone who uses a Rover sitter to care for my pets when I am away, I personally understand the trust that is needed to leave your pets in someone else's care. I strive to build trust with clients by showing up when I say I do and following all instructions provided to me. And, it is not just about building trust with you but also your pet! If your pet has any behavioral issues or quirks, it's important for me to know this so that I can ensure safety for your pet and myself. This will help me adjust my interactions with them so I can build trust with your pet and respect their boundaries. The more information I have, the better!

Please feel free to reach out to set up a meet and greet. I am currently available to take care of pets in client’s home. I am flexible with needs, dates, and times. Let me know how I can help 🙂
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and friends and family have often relied on me to help walk or care for their dogs when they are out of town! Besides having had a dog of my own, I used to volunteer at both dog and cat rescues. I love making pets happy and helping to give them the best lives possible :) I am a medical school student so I have flexibility in between school and studying for your pet care needs, from daily walks to house sitting! I make sure to consistently keep an eye out for the pet I’m caring for and will offer frequent and honest communication with you to ensure you know your pet is being very well cared for. I will make sure that there’s nothing around within the home that could harm your pet.

“Angela is simply wonderful. She took excellent care of our 13 year old Pit Bull mix while we were on our two week vacation. Our dog wasn’t used to being away from us that long and since he had always received a lot of attention and care, we were worried about finding someone who would take just as good care of him. From the moment we met Angela, we felt completely at ease. Her warm, positive attitude immediately reassured us, and she wasn’t fazed at all by our dog’s hip issues and reduced mobility. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was extremely well cared for, and we are so grateful to Angela for the love and attention she gave him. We would absolutely choose her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week. Her daughters seemed really engaged and loving on my dog, making me feel confident she was receiving all the love and affection she gets at home. When I picked her up, my dog seemed so relaxed, almost as if she hadn’t been gone all that time, helping me feel confident she was safe and loved on. Usually after boarding in a facility, my dog is highly anxious, extra agitated and disheveled. None of that here with Sarah. Her and her family were truly the best sitters. I never worried once while away.”
“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”
“Ester was great with Zeus. Zeus is very energetic, and had a wonderful time. I was sent videos of him during his stay. Will definitely book with Ester again.”
“Laura did amazing with Romeo, she updated us everyday on how he was doing and was very responsive. Romeo was in very good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Andrew and his family treated my Oscar as part of their family. He was in constant communication with me while I was away in Italy for almost 3 weeks. Andrew is very kind and very easy/flexible. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a trustworthy person to watch their furbabies! Thank you Andrew!”
“Ashlee did wonderful taking care of my 11yo Shih tzu and 2yo Goldendoodle. She took them on walks, and sent me updates while I was on my trip!! She was flexible with the time changes in my travel and made it easy for me to pick them up!! I know my pups were in great care with Ashlee!! Thanks again ☺️”
“Auria was excellent. Her communication skills were great (very important). She easily accommodated special requests - such as taking a birthday photo of my dog for my daughter’s birthday while we are away.”
“Yolanda was great Milo had a good time to the point he’s been sleeping at home since we got him back lol! She sent pictures and updates , i felt really good and comfortable dropping Milo off for the week and going on vacation without worrying . I will most definitely be returning when needing a rover !”
“My two huskies had such a good time! Kim and her husband took such great care of them! They sent us videos and pictures which definitely helped knowing they were in good hands :) 100/10 recommend”
“Alyssa is the best! Something came up and I wanted to drop off Maggie early. Not a problem she said. I was late picking Maggie up. Not a problem she said. She understands things happen. I know Maggie is in great hands whenever she is there. This is Maggie's second family now. Give Alyssa a try one time and she will become your dogs second family as well, I promise. Thanks Alyssa!!”
“Mitch was very accommodating with my last minute booking request. After a quick meet and greet, I left my 4 year old pup in good hands for an overnight stay. Mitch has a nice big fenced in yard for the dogs to play, he was very responsive with his communication and provided photo updates. Would definitely recommend.”
“Monique is the absolute best!! My dog is instantly excited when he gets dropped off with her. She provides fun updates throughout his stay and lots of pics but also lots of love to those in her care. Shes our go to!”
“I knew Rupert would be in excellent care from the moment we met Rebecca & her family prior to his stay. They are very friendly, easy-going people who clearly enjoy welcoming new dogs into their home. Rupert is very social & has a lot of energy. It was perfect that they have dogs of their own & a large fenced-in yard, giving Rupert plenty of room & freedom to run & play with his new friends. I appreciated the daily check-ins, complete with pictures & videos & short reports about how Rupert was doing. I will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Angie was amazing! My dog had so much fun that I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to come home! She sent great updates and pictures and treated Cosmo like her own. I definitely will be using her again!!”
“Nikki was wonderful! My dog loved her and had the best stay! She was so kind, helpful in answering my questions as a first time Rover user, attentive, and again my dog loved her! Thanks again and we will book again whenever we need to!”
“Dan and Holly watched our Beagle/Mix Zeus last week. We picked him up last night and I’m pretty sure he already wants to go back. He slept like a baby last night. Within 5 minutes of meeting Dan and Holly, I knew they would take care of our little guy. I never once worried. His check in process is thorough which I like, he really wants to make sure he understands your pups needs and personality. We are so grateful we found them. We have already booked them again for our next trip.”
About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol
“This was my first time using Rover. I couldn’t have picked a better family to look after my 2 girls while I was out of town. Scott sent picks and videos every day while yo was gone showing how much fun they were having.”
“MJ is the best! He's super kind, flexible, and his love and knowledge of animals is clear. My dog is shy and sad when I go away, but I know he feels comfortable at MJ's, and that makes traveling easier. Thanks!”
