“Emmie, my corgi girl, immediately took to Linda rolling over for belly rubs. I received updates and cute photos throughout the stay so I never worried. Came home to very happy pets! Booking my next weekend now.”

“We cannot say enough good things about Taylor and the exceptional care she provided for our three dogs over the past two weeks. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing they were in capable and loving hands. Taylor kept us updated with frequent pictures, allowing us to see how happy and comfortable our pups were under her care. Beyond her regular duties, Taylor truly went above and beyond when one of our dogs experienced a medical emergency. She acted quickly, coordinated a vet visit, and then provided attentive post-care, ensuring our pup's full recovery. Her professionalism, calm demeanor, and dedication in such a stressful situation were nothing short of remarkable. Taylor is a compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier pet care. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and we would not hesitate to book her again in the future!”


“Anna was excellent with our fur baby while we were on an extended vacation. She stayed in our home and was very respectful during her stay. Our doggie is disabled and needs a bit more care which Anna provided.”


“Just completed our second booking with Ehlaura and have another one already scheduled. She is amazing with our boys and she keeps us up to date throughout our time away. Highly recommend!”


“Laura took wonderful care of our fur babies and our home while we were away. She was communicative and put us at ease right away that she was going to take good care of our fur babies. We would definitely reccomend Laura and would certainly use her services again in the future.”


“Macy took such amazing care of our fur babies! She really went above and beyond to make sure our pups were well cared for and still had fun while we were out of town. Our dogs can be high energy but she kept them happy with walks and plenty of games of fetch. One of our dogs can be nervous around other people but he warmed up to her very quickly. We were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were in good hands! Thanks for everything, Macy!”


“Robin is amazing! She looked after my pups at my place for 4 days and sent me plenty of pictures and good communication. You could tell she loved my pups and they definitely loved her. Will definitely use her again!”


“Caitlin helped us out last minute and was extremely accommodating to our senior dog with anxiety. She shared pictures and her response times were great. We will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Kasey was amazing at updating, sending photos and was very good to my boy. My pup liked him so much when I walked through the door he said "oh its you wheres kasey? Kasey is my new mom now and we're keeping the house"”



“Symone was absolutely amazing. All the dogs warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive to all their needs to include endless puppy snuggles. She checked in regularly sending picture updates. I would use her again and would recommend her!”


“Trenton was an absolute lifesaver! We’ve had some disappointing experiences with sitters on this app recently ranging from not following instructions to doing quick 30-minute drop-ins when we specifically requested house sitting. Trent completely restored our faith in Rover. He followed all of our instructions to the letter, took excellent care of our dog Thor, and even kept our home clean and organized, something we haven’t experienced with past sitters. We truly appreciate his reliability and professionalism. We will most definitely continue using his services.”


About: As a military spouse, I understand how hard it is to find great care at an affordable rate and possibly the last minute. My goal is to provide love for your babies so that you may focus on whatever calls you away without any worries. I work remotely so any needs or schedules for your babies will be met promptly and to your liking. Please prepare a written list that I may follow. Things to expect when dropping off your babies: Your babies will be provided their own space within my sight at all times (until bedtime) and that space can be adjusted to fit their needs (bigger or smaller). They will be provided food, clean water, cuddles, and as much playtime as they need. If they have any special needs I will ask for written instructions and provide those needs as necessary. I can provide as much or as little communication as you prefer and make sure your babies are doing great while away.

“Laura is a dream! From first contact through our entire house sit, she was always prompt with her responses and never left me hanging. She was great with my peculiar, needy Sphynx cats and not only followed our care instructions exactly, but went above and beyond for my two cats! They absolutely loved her from the first day, which is so rare. I got frequent updates multiple times a day and the best pictures and videos of them. She left our house extremely clean and we would be insane to not book her anytime she is available!”


“Ashley was a wonderful sitter! She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures of my two dachshunds. She took such good care of the girls while we were away. We’d love to have her back anytime to sit for Harley and June. 🩷”


About: I've loved animals since I was a kid and have cared for many throughout my life! I was tasked with raising my family dog since she was a puppy when I was in high school, and I helped my college roommate with her puppy! I have walked/boarded many dogs and cats since moving to Virginia! Being in the military, my coworkers travel a lot so I have become the workplace's go-to "pet auntie." I genuinely love to spoil pets and providing them with a safe and homey environment while their loved ones are out! I have a fairly flexible work schedule so I can come back to my home or to your home to take care of your pet! Early morning, lunch, and evenings are especially free, so I can work around that depending on your needs. I do not own pets, so they will be here as a single child in the case they are boarded! Crates, food, litter boxes, etc will need to be provided as I don't own those things. I have access to many parks around my neighborhood, so walkability is not an issue!

About: I work at Banfield in Newport News as a vet assistant. I currently have a senior dachshund named Leo who’s great with other dogs and cats. My work schedule varies month to month. I can walk dogs or take care of pets in your home if my work schedule allows, or I can board in my house (dog friendly dogs/cats or small animals). I also have years of experience medicating dogs, cats, and small animals, and can trim nails on dogs and cats. I work 10 hour shifts, 4 days a week at Banfield. It varies each week but I do get a monthly schedule each month. I usually get my monthly schedule at the beginning of the previous month I usually take my dog out every 3-4 hours to go potty while I’m home. If your dog has a routine he/she follows, let me know and I can accommodate!

About: I, myself, own a senior dog and look after her well. I dog sit for family and friends when need be. I have also shadowed at a Veterinary office and work at one as well. I’m completely free every day until I leave for college on August 20th, so I can give your pets my full attention Monday through Sunday; walks, playtime, and all their care need I make sure that they get used to me first before jumping into caring for them. I allow them to realize I am trustworthy and here to feed them and love them.
