Dog Sitting Virginia Gardens

“We were very happy with the care Jhanayra provided! She was very reliable, arriving on time every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were on their regular feeding schedule. Jhanayra sent updates, and it was clear our cats were loved. We will be reaching out next time we are away.”

“Susana was great with my cat. She did drop in visits while I was away and kept great communication, took care of everything, kept me updated and stayed the full 30min. I could tell my cat really enjoyed her company. I highly recommend her.”

“Met Tyler earlier in the week to go over everything. He was super attentive and Echo was super excited. The day of he came on time and followed directions. He did a great job! Stayed for a good amount of time too!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 3 years, including my own dog as well as dogs for friends and family. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the amount of attention and patience I give every dog I care for. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I always try to make them feel loved, relaxed, and part of the family. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer environment, I’m happy to adjust to their routine and personality. I'm currently working full-time Monday-Friday, so I'm available to care for your fur baby starting at 5pm! I’m also available on weekends and can provide lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care during my free time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their parents are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and needs to help them feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions provided by the owner.

“We heavily rely on Sam’s support afforded to Athena, which has ranged from walks to/from dog care and house siting in our place. Sam is a pleasant detail oriented, exceptional communicator that our dog enjoys hanging out.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I truly love animals and treat every pet like family—with patience, affection, and attention to their unique needs. I’m comfortable with all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine to keep them feeling safe and loved. As a fellow Rover user, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. That’s why I always go the extra mile to communicate clearly, send regular updates, and create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I'm a teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule—perfect for giving your pet the attention they deserve! Right now, my days revolve around caring for my own two dogs and two cats, so adding another furry friend to the mix is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just some quality cuddle time, I have plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs without feeling rushed. Even during the school year, I make pet care a priority with early mornings, afternoons, and weekends always dedicated to my animals. No matter the season, caring for pets is a core part of my daily life. When caring for pets in their own home, I always prioritize following your instructions and routines exactly as you’ve laid them out. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially when their favorite people aren’t around. From feeding and walking schedules to playtime, medication, or bedtime routines, I make sure your pet feels as safe, loved, and comfortable as possible. My goal is to keep things feeling familiar and calm, so your pet can relax and stay happy until you’re back home. You can count on me to treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I give my own.

I live in an apartment with a beautiful park downstairs, and pet friendly for walks. Lots of walking and outdoor space. Thanks for your trust, cant wait to meet you all.

“Ara was fantastic! She truly cared for Alfie as if he were her own kitten. She was attentive, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. I’d happily trust her again and highly recommend her”

“Daniela was excellent with our two dogs! She was patient and caring, and had a real calming effect on our dogs, especially on one who is generally nervous. Daniela was also punctual, had great communication and responsiveness, and on top of sending us the details of each drop in. We plan to use her services again, and would highly recommend to anyone in need of pet help.”

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, from helping in a vet clinic and working at a dog daycare to caring for my own pets over the years. I’m very patient with animals, attentive to their behavior, and I always try to follow each pet’s routine closely because I know that’s what helps them feel calm, safe, and happy while you’re away. I work remotely during the week (8am–5pm), so I’m available for reliable early morning and evening visits on weekdays. On weekends, I’m more flexible and available throughout the day. I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being alone during typical work hours and do best with a consistent routine. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow instructions closely and prioritize clear communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🪴💚

About: I’ve had experience with both cats and dogs, but I'm not opposed on getting to know and care for your other type of (furry or not) family member/pet. I’m very pet-friendly and love to play. If special care is needed for an animal, I have also had experience with pets who need special medications or to be fed a specific way. I clean up any messes left behind by pets inside or outside of the house. I also have experience with taking care of animals who are older in age. I work delicately with all animals to ensure that they feel safe and/or comfortable until their owner returns home. For having kittens of my own, they had my heart first, but I do also have great experience and love for dogs. I’m currently a college student who works part-time so I would be more than happy to take care of your furry friends Monday-Fridays 8 AM to 8 PM! I treat pets with the utmost respect and care. I firmly believe that pets are family and deserve to be treated as such. You can expect me to treat your pet just like I’d treat a family member!

“Great sitter! Giselle recently took care of my diabetic cat. She made sure every morning to inject him his insulin, keep his litter clean, and give him fresh water. She is very professional and responsible. She can be counted on to do a great job. Next time I travel, I will definitely be asking Giselle to take care of my Copycat again! Thank you, Giselle!”

About: Raising my very own senior lady, a mid-size terrier-mix, for the last decade and counting - experienced with dogs that have separation anxiety and need a little more comfort than the rest I’m currently working full-time but located locally in the gables, so I’ll have plenty of time in the late afternoons and evenings after 6pm for walks and pups! Weekends are usually open for the mornings and afternoons, as well. I can cater to your fur baby’s daily routine, maintaining their preferred feeling schedules and walks, keeping their day structured so they don’t ever feel off and can rest knowing all is well (even with mom and dad away)!

“Stacie was amazing! She was responsive and took great care of Mister. I would definitely book her again!”

“Super sweet and caring to my fur baby!! Bella looks so happy to see her every time! The pictures are amazing and show Bella having a fun time! Tiphany is always super accommodating to my hectic and uncertain schedule.”

“Autumn was super helpful for both of our pups with letting them out and giving them some company. Hazel and Willow seemed to enjoy her visits and we highly recommend Autumn’s services.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with both training and senior care. I trained my own dog, who is now 12 years old, and I currently care for him as he experiences arthritis. This has taught me how to recognize signs of discomfort, adjust activity levels, and provide daily massages to keep him comfortable. I understand that not every dog needs long walks, and I prioritize each pet’s individual needs, safety, and well-being. I’m currently a senior in college, which gives me a bit more flexibility in my schedule, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m able to plan my days around pets and give them the attention and consistency they need. I live in an off-campus house with a front yard that does not open onto a busy street, which helps provide a safe and calm environment for pets. The house is spacious, allowing pets to move around comfortably and have their own space to relax. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I’m very attentive and focused on making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I take time to build trust, follow routines closely, and make sure pets feel safe and happy in my presence.

About: Hi! I’m Kathlyn, a lifelong dog lover who grew up around show dogs, therapy dogs, and professional dog training. My mom is a dog trainer, so I’ve had experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities from a young age. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making their time away from home fun, safe, and full of love. If you have a puppy, I’m happy to reinforce basic commands during our time together. I also have access to a gated dog park where pups can play and socialize. I understand that dogs are family, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ♥️🐶

About: From close friends to family, I have been entrusted to take care of their cherished dogs and cats (even seniors) through these past several years. I wouldn’t trade it for the world! I currently work full-time, but am available on weekends to provide unwavering support and love to your furry pets! I can also provide late night walks, check-ins, etc if needed during the week once I’m off work :-) I live in one of the safest neighborhoods with ample space in the backyard and around my area to give them the most fun walks possible! I can also crate your pet as I have ample space in my apartment. It’s just me, so rest assured they will be given the best care and belly rubs possible.
