“We felt at ease when Emily stayed with our 10 month old great dane pup and 7 year old Border Aussie. I got pictures everyday we were gone and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. Bonus points for the house being clean when we got home! We are hopeful to have Emily care for our pets and home again!”

About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.

“Collette was a dream sitter. Stayed full time with my senior pups and my house was exactly as it was when I left. No dishes in the sink, no mess. If anything, they are exhausted from being spoiled to pieces. It’s hard to find a sitter who won’t leave the pups alone for hours on end…if you’re looking for someone who truly cares, book Collette!”

“Emily stayed with our pup while we were away for our first anniversary trip. She is, without a doubt, the best sitter we have ever had for Kobe. Not only did she send pictures every day, she took him on walks at the park, monitored his eating habits, brought in our mail, and came to the rescue when the breaker flipped and AC went out. We came home to a calm and happy pup! We are so grateful for her and trust she’ll be great with your pets too. Kobe can’t wait until he sees her again 🥰”

He stayed a week in my apartment with my dogs and sent daily updates with clear communication. Both dogs seemed to enjoy his company and were kept busy with 3 walks a day. Kaleb was kind and easy to work with, will use his services again!”

About: I’ve been watching, and caring for dogs, cats, and puppies growing up. My parents were always at work and it was my responsibility to make sure they were looked after. The past couple years my senior cat had a thyroid disorder and needed me to crush pills, groom, and assist physically. I helped train and care for both my dogs when they were puppies until adulthood, as well as a ferret. I’ve watched dogs for friends and family throughout the years and always enjoyed it. Im currently a full time student at VCU. I’m available all day Saturday, sunday, Friday, and on mondays till 5:30. I don’t have a car but I’m comfortable walking and taking the bus within 2 miles. I enjoy spending time with all types of animals and will be sure to give your pet all the love while your away. I’m a very respectful house guest and I’ll treat your space and pets with the same care I treat my own.

About: I have personal experience taking care of (walking, bathing, feeding, enrichment, training) all animals and love to do it. Professionally, I’ve worked at doggy daycares, other dog-walking and pet-sitting apps, and volunteered to assist with puppy births. My experience is mostly with dogs; however, I have taken care of cats and more! I work a full-time job, but my hours are flexible which means I have days I am in-office or at home and I do not work weekends. It is very easy for me to leave work to provide pet care and return later that day or make-up hours later in the week. I am very gentle with animals and the safety of pets and those around them comes first - always. I plan to keep the pet comfortable and enriched. It is very easy to follow a schedule and routine for medications, bathroom breaks, bedtimes, and playtime. I pay close attention to details and take the time to learn pet behaviors to ensure they get the best care.

“Andrew did an excellent job house sitting our dog and cat. It was the first time my husband and I had hired a house sitter and we very much appreciated the work and time he put into putting us at ease. We found him to be trustworthy, honest, very responsive, and kind. I was also grateful to see that he understands both cat and dog behavior (an uncommon characteristic, I've found!) and let our fur babies get used to him in their own time. I hope to book with him again in the future!”

Conrad went above and beyond with taking care of our two dogs! Super responsive, friendly, careful with their needs (1 is a reactive dog, other has anxiety and is accident prone). When my dog started limping mid-stay, Conrad made sure to notify me and follow instructions perfectly and administer medication. I felt very comfortable knowing that Conrad was taking care of them diligently, ensuring they had the love, company, and support they needed when we were away for 3 days.

There are no words to describe how fabulous Kelly is. In a way it’s sad because my cats are very sad when I come home and they stand at the door and they watch for her to come back, but they’re just gonna have to get over that until we go away again.
