“Christina is fantastic! Quick to respond and very friendly. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated during the visit. 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.
About: I signed up to help others care for their pets because I use Rover as well. Having a trusted individual available to care for our furry friends is important. I provide excellent pet care service for others. I will inquire about your pet’s personality, special needs, likes and dislikes. I will professionally communicate with you, treat your pet with great care, and your property with respect if welcomed into your home. Thanks for considering my services, I look forward to hearing from you. Here to help. I am employed full time. Any assistance I would be able to provide would be early morning, late evening during the weekdays, and much greater flexibility on the weekend. I will care for your pets and be respectful to your home. For me that begins with good communication between you and me. Setting clear expectations between us and getting to know your pets as best as possible before the first visit.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young girl. I also have worked as a Veterinary Technician on Langley Air Force Base. I enjoy pet sitting all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I am retired and involved in some weekly activities, so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of pet sitting, not to mention the joy of being around pets. I am attentive, detail oriented and versatile. I believe in leaving things the way I found them, or better. I always strife to do my best at whatever I do, and I am a very trustworthy person.
About: I believe pets are happiest when their routines remain as normal as possible. My goal is to make sure that this process is stress-free and I am able to provide dependable care and consistent communication. I look forward to meet you and your pet! I am currently working in an on-call position this summer and will be going back to school this fall! I will have plenty of time to walk and car for pets especially in June and May! I have one dog named Sam, and he is kept in through an electric fence collar but I frequently take him on walks and he typically likes to nap inside the house otherwise!
“Peyton did a great job staying with Mabel and Roxy over the weekend. She sent regular pictures and updates. I was about to enjoy my trip because I knew my dogs were being cared for. 😊”

“Carissa is awesome with my girl, Nyla!! She took such good care of her while I was gone. I was so worried about Nyla but Carissa reassured me that she was in good hands! Carissa also took such good care of my house like it was her own, which gave me such piece of mind while I was gone! I would highly recommend Carissa for anyone who is looking for a responsible, caring person to watch their house and/or dog while they’re gone!”

“Ashlyn did a great job watching our three peis. She was very communicative and sent updates with pictures. She was able to meet all their needs including administering medication for one of them and she left the house was neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend her and would also use her again.”
“I wanted a mature and responsible sitter, especially since one of my dogs is just a baby, and Lauren was the perfect choice. She was attentive and affectionate to the doggos....and even stayed an extra hour because I messed up on the return time. Thanks so much, Lauren!”

About: I have been looking after my neighbors' animals and my own for years, so I have a lot of experience when it comes to pets. I love dogs of any shape and size, and having bigger dogs myself has taught me how to handle them. I have a pretty good grasp on dogs and their behavior due to having an interest in them since I was little. I am happy to do just about anything, whether that be feeding, walking, playing with, or just hanging out with your dog. I am quick to learn how to do things as well, so if they have special requirements, I am happy to learn! I work part-time and am looking for something to supplement my time over the summer, as hours are hard to come by right now. My schedule is very flexible, as I don't get up to much. I can be there as early or as late as you need, though I am more of an afternoon-night person. I am happy to do whatever is necessary to keep your pet safe and comfortable. If they need to be put in a crate or kept in a specific room of the house, I can handle that! I also have experience with keeping pets from darting out the door on my way in and out, so no worries about escapees!
“Nicole took wonderful care of my pup. She stayed in communication with me throughout my trip and sent me tons of pictures. I highly recommend her and will book her for all my future dog sitting needs.”

“I want to thank Marissa for being able to step up on what could only be described as a very short notice emergency for my wife and I. She did a fantastic job and I would recommend her to anyone in the Williamsburg area to take care their beloved pet family members.”

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.
About: I grew up taking care of dogs in my neighborhood as a kid and teenager. I have always had a big love for furr animals! I work a very flexible schedule during the week that allows me to have last minute changes or needs to take care of if need be! I live in a quiet apartment complex with not a lot of traffic, but lots of walking trails and a dog park that my dog Koda enjoys!

I want to thank Marissa for being able to step up on what could only be described as a very short notice emergency for my wife and I. She did a fantastic job and I would recommend her to anyone in the Williamsburg area to take care their beloved pet family members.

Genevieve took wonderful care of our cat Brody at our house. He was his usual fat happy self when we got home. She also daily updated us how he was doing and sent pics. She was very respectful of our house during her stay. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet and house sitter, we highly recommend her.

Georgia is an excellent sitter. She took great care of my dog Una. She send plenty of pictures and updates and she kept excellent communication. Our house was clean and in excellent condition went we came back and Una was very well care. She is truly a pet lover and a reliable sitter thanks so much!!

We are traveling for baseball and our dog has separation anxiety. Usually I stay with her while everyone else goes to dinner, tonight we decided to give rover a try and have someone come to our hotel to stay with her. Kevin responded at such short notice and was to us within 25 minutes. He took great care of our girl, had great communication and sent multiple pictures while we were away. We will definitely use Kevin again if we are back in the area for any reason.
