“Nikolaas was an amazing dog sitter to our two pups. Our boys can get anxious without us, but they loved him. He was super communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and I felt much more at ease leaving home. We will definitely book him in the future.”
“I entrusted Christina with my beloved Prada while I attended a graduation, and she exceeded every expectation. I was away from home for nine hours. From the moment she arrived—right on time—it was clear that she genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Christina followed all of my instructions for Prada perfectly and kept me connected throughout the evening with sweet pictures that gave me such peace of mind. Prada took right up with her, which speaks volumes about Christina's gentle, confident approach with animals. What impressed me most was the combination of professionalism and genuine heart. Christina isn't just going through the motions—she truly loves what she does, and that makes all the difference. Knowing Prada was in such capable, caring hands allowed me to be fully present at the graduation without worry. I am more than pleased and would absolutely recommend Christina to anyone looking for a pet sitter they can trust completely. The peace of mind she provided was priceless. Thank you, Christina, for taking such wonderful care of our precious Prada! 🐾”


“Ginny bonded with Z at first sight. Ginny has a wonderful attitude and her communication throughout the process was superb. Ginny was also flexible allowing for a change in our vacation schedule. I highly recommend Ginny and would definitely use her again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Robbyn. Jackson immediately connected with her, and he was more relaxed than I’ve ever seen him for a high energy puppy. She kept the place spotless, communicated regularly, and sent plenty of photos so I always knew he was doing well. I’m truly grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely be booking with her again.”


About: I have lived with dogs my whole life and am comfortable with all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. I am a collegiate soccer player, so any activity level is no problem for me! I have about 5 years of experience house and pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends. I am comfortable giving pets medication and taking them for long runs/walks. I am currently taking two online courses at Virginia Wesleyan University over the summer. I have responsibilities to practice and stay fit for the women's soccer team. I am free every day of the week aside from a few travelling trips and will devote all of my attention to your animals! I will be sure to provide the utmost standard of care to my client's homes and pets. No task is too much. Beyond caring for the animals, I can aid in chores and house upkeep. No pet will be put in an unsafe situation or made to feel stressed out under my watch.
“Robert spent a weekend caring for our fur babies. We had a meet and greet prior to his stay and he did a thorough assessment of our animals needs to make sure he provided top notch care. Over the weekend he sent pictures and updates. I knew my fur babies were well-taken care of.”

“Anna is terrific! We have not used Rover before and were a little hesitant with someone staying in our home when we plan on going on vacation. Several weeks before our trip, Anna Mei came to our house and spent about 2 hours with us and our dogs. That was a great way for us to get to know each other and see how comfortable our dogs were with her and she with our dogs. At her suggestion, we spent one night in a hotel as a trial run while she stayed with our dogs. Everything went really well, and she kept us updated on what was going on. She definitely earned our trust, and we are relieved that we found a reliable sitter for when we are on our vacation. We will definitely request her again. Thanks Anna!”

About: I have been a professional dog trainer for over 8 years now and I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all breeds, sizes and ages! I currently work from home and I have the ability to create my own schedule! I am available weekends and weekdays. My schedule is pretty flexible! I have a full fenced in yard about 1 acre. I do have personal dogs of my own and one cat. I normally don’t do interactions with my personal pets just as precaution and to keep everyone safe! I can crate your dog if needed as well!
“Emmanuel was an amazing pet sitter! He watched my 5 fur babies while I was gone for a week and they got along with him so well! He was very attentive to my fur babies and he enjoyed time spent with them! He treated them like they were his own. He was very communicative, providing me daily updates with adorable pictures and videos! He even got my antisocial cat to warm up to him and interact with him, which was a 1st! He also did a great job keeping the place clean while caring for the fur babies. I feel like my pets definitely lucked out with having an amazing sitter and new friend! I would highly recommend booking Emmanuel as your next pet sitter!”

“Felicia was amazing! We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you for everything. We’ll be in touch for another upcoming trip we’ll need your services for!”

“Jenny was wonderful!!! My two pups normally take a bit to warmup to new people but at the meet and greet they both clearly showed a liking to her. Jenny watched my pups in my home and messaged me several times a day and sent pics to let me know how things were going. This was very comforting for someone like me, with having anxiety with leaving them. My house was as clean as I left it, and I was very grateful that she brought in my packages as they were delivered. I would recommend Jenny, we will definitely be asking her to watch our pups again!!! Thank you so much Jenny, for easing my mind with my sweet babies and taking such great care of them😊!!!”

About: Hello! My name is Bianca. I have always loved and had a connection to all sorts of animals. I have nearly 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and rodents. I currently have 2 fur babies (Oden & Luna), a crested gecko named Biscotti, and a tree frog named Ice Ferg Slim. I currently have a remote job where I make my own hours, this allows me the flexibility to care for your pet without rushing. I can be available as early as 6am or as late as 9pm. Don't worry about my babies, my fiancé works from home full time as well so they are never without love and care! When visiting your home, I will be sure to follow any provided instructions. For your cats, I can provide drop-in food and water, play time, and cuddles (if your cat likes). For your dogs, I am comfortable with feeding and giving clean water, providing exercise and/or playing their favorite games, brushing, cleaning off paws, using a crate, or any other requests. I am very comfortable with walking/playing with big dogs too (rottweilers are my fav)! While taking care of your baby, I will treat them as my own and will ensure that their environment is clean, safe and secure after each visit.
About: Hello! My name is Kelsey. All of my life I have felt at home with animals (of ALL kinds). My dream is to one day run my own dog rescue. Until then, I've chose to submerge myself in doing what I love most. And that's being with animals. I have 4 cats and 3 dogs (along with my husband and son) at my home. They are so very spoiled and loved. I would absolutely love to be your pet sitter and more importantly...your pets friend when missing their human. I have several years of dog training experience, although I am NOT certified yet. (Worked with dogs at a boarding and training facility and also in a few dog boarding and daycare facilities.), so I have a decent amount of knowledge when it comes to helping with training and dogs with small temperament issues. I also have experience with senior dogs. I also have experience with reptiles, fish, rodents, AND farm animals. So please don't hesitate to ask about that! (Also, PLANTS!) I will stay overnight, as needed, as long as I'm available and my families schedules allow it. I am currently in school for my Bachelor's degree. I have plenty of time when I am not studying. My schooling is mainly online so I'm flexible when it comes to when and where I study and do my school work, so I can always bring it with me if needed. My son has football practice and games throughout the week, but I can always schedule accordingly to make sure it works and his father is home from work. I will always try to make it work and be accommodating. I care for all of my clients pets as if they were my own. Plenty of attention, love, affection, and respect. Many people forget that pets need respect like the rest of us, and I always make it a point to respect my clients pets boundaries and certain routines that they are use to.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life! My dream job was to be a veterinarian until I realized I’d probably get attached to the animals haha. I’ve been house/pet sitting for relatives for the past 4 years now and I love it!! I love being able to take them to dog parks, playing, or even just having a chill day! I also love to spoil the pets by buying extra toys to play with and some good snacks! I think doing rover and being able to care for others pets will be a great way to spend my time since I love animals! I update my calendar every 2 weeks and communicate through my inbox! If there’s a note given on specific times to feed or walk I’ll follow them exactly as written. I won’t ever do something without asking/notifying the owner. I’d spend quality time with the pet and try to get them to trust me and build a bond!
“Lauren was great. Super friendly and could tell she truely cared about taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She sent pictures and updates and asked questions to make sure she was doing everything right. She was accommodating with a more last minute booking to house sit for a weekend. Would definitely reccomend Lauren!”
