Dog Sitting Williamsburg

About: My family has had dogs forever, ranging from small medium and large so growing up with all kinds of dogs has given me experience in how to handle any situation with any dog! I’m currently a college student and away from my dog at home and am looking for any way to have more interactions with pets. Also, my most recent dog is now 2 years old and I did the majority of training, so if there are any needs or wants for training while I am sitting, I am more than capable. I’m currently a full time student and on the William & Mary Varsity Men’s soccer team, however, I have many breaks throughout my day. The only block of the day I’m usually completely unavailable is from 2-6PM When caring for pets in clients homes you can expect the utmost respect for the home but also a willingness to learn how you usually handle your dog at home. Whether that is using the crate and having some more strict guidelines, or if it is a more relaxed environment.

About: I have cared for many pets and homes over the years, the vast majority being repeat clients. I prefer to stay in-home with the pets to reduce their anxiety, provide a sense of normalcy, and retain stability in their owners’ absence. I have booked by word of mouth for over 25 years; this will be my first Rover experience. I am available for your pets the majority of the day, and will be able to work around their set schedules as needed. Very flexible! I strive to provide the care you seek for your four-legged loved ones. Feeding schedules, walking schedules, playtime, and care for your home are all vital factors taken into consideration when considering if this is a mutual match.

About: I have experience rescuing cats and dogs and administering medication. I’ve also done house sitting and pet sitting for several homes. I enjoy running and playing with dogs to keep them active and happy, and I can also help them stay calm when needed. I offer walks up to 1 hour and can safely handle up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable cleaning up after pets, changing diapers if needed, and giving medication. I work Mondays and Wednesday–Friday from 7 to 3, and Saturdays from 3 to 11pm. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Sundays 😊 I adapt to each home and follow the owner’s preferences and routine for their pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or keeping their space clean. I always adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.

“Lori was fantastic with our pup! She was very attentive and loving to her needs, and reliable for the week we needed her. We would book her again!”

About: I’m an experienced pet owner and animal lover who has cared for a wide variety of animals, including cats, kittens, senior cats, ferrets, and dogs of different breeds and sizes. This experience helps me quickly recognize each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, and care needs. I can provide attentive and dependable support while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for both friendly and reactive dogs. I have firsthand experience caring for puppies. I understand the extra patience, consistency, supervision, and positive reinforcement they require. I’ve had my husky since she was a puppy, giving me experience with every stage of her development. This has helped me understand how a dog’s needs change from puppyhood through adulthood. I can provide thoughtful, age-appropriate care for both puppies and adult dogs. I currently care for a husky, a boa constrictor, and a Green Bottle Blue tarantula. My experience with exotic pets has made me comfortable following specialized care instructions. I’m also experienced with maintaining precise routines and paying close attention to details that are important for an animal’s health and well-being. Pet care is currently my part-time work. My primary profession involves working with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This work has strengthened my patience, communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to follow individualized routines. These skills directly benefit my clients by helping me provide calm, consistent, and personalized care for each pet. I understand the importance of clear communication with owners. I will keep you informed about how your pet is doing. I hope to continue building on these skills as I work with, train, rehabilitate, and study animals. My future goals include working primarily with dogs, exotic animals, and aquatic animals. I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and individual needs. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining established routines. This helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for pets that are shy, high-energy, reactive, or slow to warm up to new people. I respect each animal’s boundaries and allow them to interact at their own pace. I provide gentle encouragement, patience, and reassurance. My goal is to build trust and create a positive experience for both pets and their owners. I can provide drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, basic enclosure care, and companionship. I’ll care for your pets with the same attention, patience, and respect that I give my own animals. You can feel confident knowing they are in dependable and compassionate hands. My schedule is mostly remote and very flexible. I am available most days and times on both weekends and week days. I do travel sometimes for my full-time job, which would be the main reason I would not be available. I care for my pets as part of my daily routine and make sure their individual needs are met throughout the day. My husky receives regular potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, feeding, attention, and downtime. I’ve had her since she was a puppy, so caring for her has been a consistent part of my life for years. I also care for a boa constrictor and a Green Bottle Blue tarantula. I maintain their enclosures and monitor their temperature, humidity, feeding, water, and overall environment based on their individual needs. Their enclosures are kept secure and separate from my other pets. With any animal in my care, I pay attention to behavior and body language, provide appropriate enrichment and interaction, and make adjustments when I notice their needs have changed. I prioritize safety, consistency, cleanliness, and making sure each animal receives the level of care and attention appropriate for their species and personality.

About: I get a lot of joy from taking care of them and making them happy while getting to know their personality. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels! Animals are certainly a woman’s best friend! I am a current law student that will have class in the mornings and early afternoons most weekdays, but will be able to care for your pets any time outside of that! I would love to have a furry friend to walk or play with during study breaks and can’t wait to get to know your baby! My utmost priority in caring for your pets is ensuring they are as safe, comfortable and at ease as possible. Animals are so special and deserve the kindest treatment in all circumstances, even when they make a mistake. I will ask for specific preferences or instructions and follow them in regard to feeding, walking, play time, medicine, potty breaks and any form of crating. I want to help your pet as much as possible through the nerve-wracking time of being away from their owner!

“Ally is the best! Super communicative and friendly! Frog loves her and Joe!”

“Alexis was kind enough to check in on our kitties while we were out of town for a little over a week. We have a hard time leaving our cats as they’re used to someone being home with them all the time, but Alexis gave us all the reassurance we needed. She played with them using their favorite toys and provided us detailed updates. It’s clear from the pictures that our kitties adore her 🥰. It’s important to mention that Alexis took time out of a very special day for her to tend to our kitties, which I cannot thank her enough for. She is highly reliable! Alexis goes above and beyond, as she also cleaned up some broken pots outside that fell due to storm winds. I would highly recommend Alexis to watch any pet and will certainly be reaching out to her in the future when we go out of town.”

About: Hi! I’m Jake, a second-year law student at William & Mary Law School and an avid animal lover. I grew up in a home that always had at least three dogs, along with cats, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Being around pets has always brought me so much joy, and I truly miss having them around every day. Since my roommates aren’t looking to have pets right now, Rover is the perfect way for me to spend time with amazing dogs and cats while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in great hands. As a law student, responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail are part of my daily life. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I keep a structured schedule that makes it easy to plan pet care into my day. I enjoy taking breaks from studying to get outside for walks, exercise, and fresh air, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or spending time playing with your pet, I’m happy to provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I also have flexibility during mornings, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with pets is one of my favorite ways to unwind from school while giving them plenty of love, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stick to their normal routine. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any specific preferences or routines your pet is used to. I make sure every visit includes plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and exercise based on your pet’s personality and energy level. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my blend of responsibility, energy, and empathy. As a former Division I athlete and current graduate student, I’ve learned how to manage time, stay calm under pressure, and give 100% to every commitment. I treat each pet like my own with patience, consistency, and care. I’m great with active dogs who need play and structure, but I’m also gentle and attentive with older pets who need a slower pace and extra comfort. Whether it’s sticking to a training routine or just making your dog feel safe while you’re away, I’m someone you and your pet can count on. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m already active, organized, and thrive on structure. As a grad student and former athlete, I plan my days carefully and always make time for what matters including giving pets the attention and exercise they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening playtime, I’m flexible and reliable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with them is a highlight of my day, not just a task on my list. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment by following their routine closely whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, or play preferences. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and organized. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I make sure they have a safe, cozy, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, activity, and affection. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness above all.

“Kimberly takes such good care of our little fur baby!! And she’s very clear about how our dog is doing/feeling, which is very important to us!”

“Savannah was Super! She stepped in on short notice and gave Bella and Hobbes so much thoughtful care and loving playtime. It made a huge difference knowing they were in such good hands. We’re so thankful for her kindness, flexibility, and the way she really connects with our pets. Can’t wait to have her back!”

About: Growing up as the youngest and having one other sibling Being animal lovers ment we always wanted to help animals, shelter them or take them in as our own and sometimes we did taking kittens or puppies. I do work a full-time job, but I have my days off on a Wednesday and Thursday and my mornings are open because I only work night shifts at 2 o’clock to 11:30 PM. I Don’t have a backyard unfortunately because I live in an apartment, but my apartment complex has a lot of grass and walking trails plenty for the animals.

“Michele was an amazing asset. She did such a fabulous job taking care of my two cats, that they appeared to be disappointed it was me when I came home. Clearly, they were well taken care of in my absence.”
