Top rated Altmar house sitters
“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”
“Dylan is amazing!! Very communicative, was comfortable watching our 3 month old puppy :) had no issues at all. We had no worries leaving Mac with her. Have already rebooked for a few other occasions. Highly recommend!”
About: I had pets when I was growing up and always loved them. They are like kids and so fun to sleep with. I clean up after them and take them a bath as needed. I am working two part time one job is not granted hours like the but I work weekends doing all day or 8 hours shifts. I live in appartment that no pets allowed. I'll always make sure they are take care of like if my own and feed them 3 meals take them for walks and use the bathroom.
“Sami did a great job with Duke and Daisy. She made us feel very relaxed by updating us occasionally with texts and pictures. The dogs loved her and we definitely felt comfortable having her in our home. We will definitely book again.”
“Kara did amazing with Stella! I never leave Stella alone, she goes everywhere with me but I had complete peace of mind leaving her in Kara’s care over the weekend! She sent me the best, cutest pictures of little Stella Bean and kept me updated through the night and morning! Definitely an amazing experience overall!”
About: I’ve got experience coming out the wazoo. I adopted my first puppy when I was 5 years old and have always had 3 cats at home growing up. Now on my own I run my house the same way with all the love crammed in. I work full time but I have a job that allows for some flexibility when needed and a family at home. But I love the chance to make some extra money after work caring for animals. I’m very good at following directions and have a natural ability to understand animals and what they need and want. Very good at learning new environments.
“Melissa was great! Our dog Hank liked her a lot. She took him for walks, fed him and was all around very good with Hank. Thank you Melissa.”
About: I make sure to do all the activities that your pup likes to do to keep them occupied. I feel leaving them. Home is better for their mental state than dropping them off somewhere where they don’t know where they are. Lots of loving and all of my attention goes to the babies while I’m there. I currently do not work and my schedule can be made mostly around the needs of the employer. My son is at school 8-3 but he would be willing to help with animals also. We have a fenced in yard but also go for walks. I have no problem with walking multiple times a day or whatever other needs the pet has.
“Erica loves animals and Luna loves people so I was comforted by several updates with pictures. Luna was happy. And Erica took her to the coffee shop for a pup cup! Luna knows her way around the drive thru circuit for milk bones and ice cream 😉 But the real drama was calling her at the last minute and she was able to take care of Luna during a holiday. Another sitter on Rover was booked but recommended Erica and you know the rest of the story. Luna was happy when I came home ❤️ Thanks again Erica!”
“Kayla was great with Loka! It was really nice to know that our pup was relaxed and taken care of while we were away. Would definitely book with Kayla again.”
About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!
About: Hi my name is Mozelle. I would love to help you out with any care you need for your animals. I have a yellow lab who I trained myself. I also have a cat and occasionally help train k9 working dogs in my spare time. I used to live on a farm and am great with all farm animals. I currently work full time, but am available in the mornings, Tuesdays and Thursdays, along with every other weekend off. I understand the need for dog walking and potty breaks being a working dog mom. I have a large yard, but it is not fenced. I will be sure to always have the dog on a leash. New surroundings can be curious for dogs and the safety is my biggest priority.
“Amanda is absolutely amazing! She was caring for our dog while we were away when our dog got very sick. She did everything to make her comfortable and to feel better until we returned. Amanda is very knowledgeable and compassionate when it comes to caring for animals and we couldn’t have left our fur baby in better hands!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since i was very young and always adored and loved them. I’ll love and adore yours also and give them only the best care. 😊 I work part time at our district in Roanoke-Benson as a paraprofessional and just finished my 15th year. I love pet-sitting and have done so for my friends and coworkers. I’m reliable and very responsible and love being with small/med dogs and/or cats. I’m also trustworthy and independent and will gladly meet your dear pets needs. I generally care for your pets in your home. It’s much more comfortable and familiar for them and it’s where all their things are very handy.
About: I love listening to music drawing painting, taking long walks so I can do that with your animals as well. Love animals more than humans lolll and all my kids are in school. I have one child that’s in Football so between practices I can take dogs for walks. Very flexible Artist. Have a 1 acre farm three children that love animals love to give them baths love to take them for a walking trips- and love love love
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life. From the moment I was born I grew up with Doberman Pinschers so big dogs don’t scare me off. Just recently I’ve gotten a miniature dachshund and she is the best of friends with my current male Doberman. I live up to the challenge if you have a dog with some health issues. I’ve been through it personally with my own so if I need to administer medication it’s no problem at all. Potty breaks I make sure are frequent as I’m still trying to potty train my little one as she’s very stubborn about it. I welcome working with cats as well! I’ve never had one, however, I have lots of family and friends who do for which I am constantly around. If you also have pets that aren’t cats or dogs I would love to help you out! More often available on the weekends or a day during the week on Wednesday on my days off from work. If you have specific days in mine I will need to know ahead of time. I can stop by early in the morning before work and then after work (no more than 9 hours at most between) I have not yet cared for clients pets in my own home, looking to build up a bigger portfolio before doing moving forward with that
“Wonderful job taking care of my girls. What an absolute gem for me and the fur babies. Thanks alot Julie!!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish from the ripe age of 10! I have had animals from the size of teacup yorkies to the size of Rottweilers so size doesn’t challenge me. I currently work full time Sunday-Wednesday and find myself with a lot of free time the rest of the week so I’d love to get to play and help with your best friend as much as I’m able to get I am able to follow all the rules you provide with your best friend and am able to accommodate with any requests to keep you stress free!
About: I was raised as a dog lover. We always had dogs in the house growing up and often took in stays to care for them. I am 100% against animal cruelty. I am a stay at home mom with much free time so my hours are flexible to care for you and the needs of your pup. I have a large front and backyard to roam in. My house dogs often go out to play or sun bath, however there is no fence.
About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.

Michael M.
“I have known Michael since he was in 2nd grade, living in my townhouse complex. Over the years I have seen his kind heart as he relates to animals, the elderly, and the sick. Although he has never cared for our dogs or current cat, he has always been gentle with them when visiting in the home. He knows to approach each one slowly and let the animal make the first contact. Michael is honest and I believe he would be a good caregiver for both pets and home”

Bryce W.
“I am delighted to write this testimonial for Bryce, who is an exceptional and responsible pet owner. I have had the pleasure of knowing Bryce for several years, and during this time, I have witnessed their unwavering dedication and love for their furry companions. Bryce’s commitment to the well-being of their animals is truly commendable. They prioritize the health, happiness and safety of their animals above all else. What sets Bryce apart is his genuine affection and love for animals. It’s evident in the way they interact with their pets with patience, kindness, and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Bryce as a pet sitter to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible caregiver for their animals. Their dedication, love and sense of responsibility make them an exemplary pet sitter, and any pet would be lucky to have them.”

Faith M.
“Faith watched our dog R2 for approximately 1 week. She took the time to become acclimated with his surroundings before we left. She also spent time getting him to trust her before we left. This was a huge relief as R2 does not warm up to people very easily. She spent much time throwing a ball(which is R2s favorite activity) but also took him for walks. She let me know (as scheduled with her in advance) just how he was doing. I would recommend Faith to care for your pet as i will be using her in the future also.”

“I’ve known Robin for 15 years. She is one of the most loving people that you’ll ever meet. She is very responsible and loves pets very much. When we dropped off our dog she was very attentive to the details of his needs and routines. She was also incredibly reassuring to my children since they had never been away from him for that long. This shows how caring and compassionate she is! She was great at communicating while we were away, even sending photos and videos. I would highly recommend Robin as a caregiver for your pet. She will treat them as though they were her own!”
