“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”


“Zana was wonderful with my Lulu and Solo (senior Yorkie and adolescent cat). She got them to warm up to her quickly and she kept them and my home in good order for an entire week. I appreciated the regular check-ins and photos during my time away. AND she was a real trooper despite a couple of unfortunate incidents in the neighborhood with some wanna be car thieves. I would highly recommend Zana!! She will love your fur babies as her own. And she’s very patient with a somewhat anxious pet owner.”


About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)

“Victoria is absolutely amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times and she takes incredible care of my pets. My cat who is usually very shy warmed up to her and even sat on her lap! He doesn’t do that with anyone but me which speaks volumes of how caring Victoria is and how safe he feels around her. She is the best sitter and I highly recommend her!”


“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so good with our three dogs and cat. They are a handful and we worry leaving them with new people but Elizabeth put our minds at ease with frequent updates and photos. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than she found it! She really thought of everything to make sure our late arrival home was as smooth as possible. Would 100% recommend Elizabeth!”


“Garrett was absolutely amazing! There is nothing better then having my furry babies at home and being so well taken care of! It has taken me a long time to replace my past dog sitter, but I have finally found someone just as picky as me! Garrett can put you in touch with me if you want more information!”


“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”


“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”


“Danielle is awesome! She was very professional and communicative throughout the process. Unless we knew she was in our home, we would have had no idea. She didn't leave anything out of place and it looked like she even took her trash with her. Our trash can was empty and all dishes were put away when we came home. She went above and beyond to respect our home. Our pups were also very comfortable with her. She will be out sitter whenever she is available. We're very happy overall!”


“Shania watched Gizmo for a few days and made sure all of his needs were met and sent me pics of a healthy, happy pup!! She also left my home immaculate. Would absolutely book in the future!”


“My dog has anxiety and doesn’t do well being boarded. He needed someone to come stay with him in our home and that person was Tori. Tori understood his needs. In the past when I have traveled, I would come home to an upset dog. This time I arrived home and he was happy. I received so many photos and texts from Tori about how he was doing that I was able to enjoy my trip. The fact that she took such great care of him, made it easier to be away from him. Tori is AMAZING!!! I will definitely use Tori again.”


“Emily is fantastic! She has a calm presence and was awesome with Monty. He needed a little more care than we originally planned and had no problem with the extra step in his routine. She sent updates and pictures which we really appreciated. Would highly recommend Emily and we look forward to working with her again!”


About: What makes me different is the calm, personalized care I give every dog. I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy—whether that’s a slow walk, a cozy spot to nap, or a little extra playtime. I’m also comfortable giving medications and following special routines if needed. I’m reliable, easygoing, and always keep you updated, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I’m currently between jobs so I’m available whenever. I do photography on the side at some different race tracks. When I’m not doing photography I’m in my back yard playing with my three dogs or I’m in the house with the cats. I have a fenced in yard that I let my dogs run and play in. I take my puppy for long walks to burn our energy out before taking him to Starbucks to get a pup cup and go back home for a nap.


“I had the pleasure of working with Robyn as my dog walker/dog sitter. From day one, it was clear that Robyn had a genuine love and passion for dogs. Her professionalism and reliability were outstanding. I always knew I could count on her to be on time and take great care of my furry friend. Not only did she ensure my dog got plenty of exercise and fresh air, but she also provided the companionship and attention that my babies need. She made sure to always send daily updates and pictures! What sets Robyn apart is her deep understanding of canine behavior. She knew just how to handle my dog’s personality and needs, making every walk a positive experience. She made sure to ask me about training and what she can do to follow our usual routine as closely as possible. My dogs absolutely adored Robyn and were always excited to see her. Safety was a top priority for Robyn as well. I appreciated the thoroughness in making sure my dog was secure during walks, especially when crossing streets or encountering other dogs. Her attention to detail gave me peace of mind. I can’t recommend Robyn highly enough. She provided exceptional care, trustworthiness, and genuine affection for my pet. If you want a dog walker who goes above and beyond, Robyn is the one to choose. My pups and I are truly grateful for her wonderful service and will be recommending her to family and friends.”


About: I have had dogs (usually multiple) and cats my entire life, and spent 5-6 years working as a volunteer at Animal Rescue training and socializing dogs to prepare them for adoptions. I have a natural kinship with all animals but especially dogs. I have never met a dog who I didn't get along with. I take pride in my patience, my intuition, and my emotional intelligence which I utilize not just with human interactions, but furry friend interactions as well. I am currently working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of multiple animals, and have the time and energy to take them on walks, to the park, and make sure they have the most fun vacation, even if they don't get to enjoy it with their favorite people. I live in a luxury apartment building, with three courtyards and TWO dog parks (one in the front of the building, one in the back), as well as a 5-year old Husky Retriever mix named Luther who loves new friends and will keep your pets company and make them feel as welcome as possible.

“Corey was an amazing sitter for my dog mylo! I had to leave for a trip with short notice, Corey met me and mylo and was very flexible, great communication and took great care of my place. I had no worries or issues leaving my dog with him. I will definitely be using Corey again and recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter! I will be back to book him!”


About: I’ve always had a special bond with animals, and my family often trusts me to care for their dogs. I look forward to making you and your pets happy too. I have a wonderful Standard Poodle named Stormi Bless. Caring for pets is my part-time job while I’m also pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice. I’m confident I can build a strong connection with your dog and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. When I look after my family’s dogs, I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I’m always mindful of their needs, whether it’s time for a walk, a meal, or just some extra care. This is currently my part time job as I am in college as well. I currently take up criminal justice, but I am sure to connect with your dog and show them support. When taking care of my family pets I am sure to make sure their dogs get attention, love, and the play time they need. When a pet shows signs of needing a walk or it’s time for food I pay attention to it all.

Williamsburg pet parents share their Rover experiences
Imani was absolutely wonderful. This was our first time using Rover and Imani was helpful every step of the way. We did a meet and greet a couple weeks prior and then she stayed with our dog for a week while we were away. Plenty of updates and photos helped us feel super comfortable being away from home. I would absolutely recommend Imani and would gladly book her again next time!

We are so thankful we found Talayia to watch our two dogs and cat for overnight stays! She really came through for us at the last minute when we were in a tough spot of our last sitter cancelling. She communicated with us daily and sent us picture updates which put us at ease for the two weeks we were gone. She also kept our plants alive and our house was kept clean. Thank you so much for everything!!

Corey was an amazing sitter for my dog mylo! I had to leave for a trip with short notice, Corey met me and mylo and was very flexible, great communication and took great care of my place. I had no worries or issues leaving my dog with him. I will definitely be using Corey again and recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter! I will be back to book him!

Leah and Shawn are the sweetest people- they were nice enough to do a meet and greet with my Rottie and I the day before I requested them to watch her for the day and were friendly, professional and on time. The day of, Leah sent me updates with pics throughout the day, which really helped me focus at work. I had been working remotely for over 4 years, and my Rottweiler Zara, who already suffers from diagnosed separation and general anxiety, was having a hard time without me home. Leah's sweet and calming demeanor really put Zara at ease, and they were able to hang out for several hours together without incident. She even went out of the house with her, even just for a 5 minute walk, which she typically never does without me or my husband due to her anxiety and depression when I'm not with her. I'm excited to see Zara bloom in her care as we continue to use Leah's services!

Sorji did an amazing job taking care of our German Shepherd while we were away! They were professional, reliable, and clearly have a natural way with animals. Our pup was happy, well-exercised, and calm when we returned, which speaks volumes about the care and attention they provided. They also kept the house spotless and even went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order. Highly recommend Sorji for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter/walker.

Josue was amazing with our Malamute during a 2 week trip! Malamutes can be a difficult breed but our pup took to Josue immediately. Josue took great care of our dog and house while we were gone, and we will happily work with him again for any future travel!
