“My cats loved Kelly right away, which is the most important thing! I appreciated her detailed reports every day, which gave me peace of mind. Really feeling lucky that we found Kelly:).”
About: Hi, I’m Wendy. I’ve been a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, currently sharing my home with Dennis, a senior Pom Chi rescue with a big personality and a gentle heart. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with very different temperaments — from a spirited Australian Cattle Dog to an independent Shiba Inu — and I’ve learned how to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and pace. I believe in meeting dogs where they are — some need space and quiet, others thrive on play and routine. I’m patient, calm, and intuitive, and I take pride in making dogs feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. Whether that means slow walks for seniors, time to explore, or simply good company, I make sure every dog feels secure and happy. Our home is a calm, pet-focused environment, and between my husband and me, dogs enjoy consistent companionship and attentive care throughout the day. Friends describe me as reliable, detail-oriented, and steady under pressure — the person they trust when they need someone responsible to look after their pets. If you’re looking for someone experienced, kind, and committed to your dog’s well-being, I’d love to help. Dennis would agree — dogs make life better. I currently have a flexible schedule as does my husband so your pet will have consistent companionship. I take pride in being dependable and responsive, and I love spending my time doing something that brings me joy — caring for dogs. I live at the Virginia Beach oceanfront, with the feeder road just outside my door — a quiet, safe stretch that’s perfect for long, relaxing walks. Dogs in my care enjoy a calm, comfortable home environment, plenty of outdoor time, and lots of attention. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, because I know how much peace of mind it brings to see your dog happy and well cared for
“Laulie was great! She kept me updated on everything, sent lots of pics and let me know if there were any concerns. I would highly recommend her, and hope she will come back in the future!”
“I booked Emily for a long stretch and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my kitty with her. She left my place clean and I returned to a happy and healthy kitty. Very kind and accommodating.”
About: I provide compassionate and trustworthy pet care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Your fur baby’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority I know how important it is to feel at peace when leaving your pet, and I’m here to help with that. I currently have free full time availability as I am taking online college classes, I am available anyday anytime Monday-Sunday to help love and care for your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, make sure they always have fresh water, give medications if needed, and keep their space clean. (I used to work in a veterinary office.) I spend quality time with them through walks, playtime, and gentle attention so they don’t feel lonely or stressed. I also watch closely for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates to the owner so they feel at ease.
“Amanda was wonderful! She took such good care of our girl Riley...and even earned a gold star for having to take her out in the wind and snow. We came home to a happy dog and have already rebooked with her. Super friendly, super reliable and a terrific communicator!”
“Kylie was awesome with our pets! She made time to come by beforehand to meet all of them and make sure she knew where everything was. We got pictures and updates with each visit to let us know what was going on and she communicated any issues or concerns. You can tell she really cares about the animals she’s watching and pays attention to their needs.”
“Ashley is fantastic!!! The dogs absolutely love her! She took the time to meet the dogs first, which was amazing because one of the dogs needs that. It’s easy to see that she cares deeply for dogs!”
“Dorothy is VERY happy now that I’m home, she’s been yelling at me any time I’m not holding her. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby! Cordillia is very sweet, and gave a lot of love to Dottie. I’m sure she will give your fur babies just as much love!”
About: Currently living in a place that doesnt accept pets, so I live vicariously through my friends! I’ve had cats and dogs most of my life, and take care of fur babies when my friends are out of town. My specialty lies in taking extra care to clean bowls and litter boxes, and tidy up the space as needed. I am a stay at home mom of 3 who can be available most days/times within reason of school and appointments. My schedule is very flexible and I am happy to accommodate as needed. I will always greet your pet as I would any loved one, taking care to make them feel loved on and cherished. I will feed, water, and check/clean litter boxes as well as any dirty bowls and feeding space. I am happy to walk dogs and crate as needed per instructions
About: Your pet’s new favorite sitter 🐾💛 Hi! I’m Cloe! I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember, and after years of living in Portland, I’m excited to be back home in Virginia Beach and surrounded by animals again! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds of pups—from energetic social butterflies to dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance. While living in Portland, I worked at a dog daycare where I spent my days caring for lots of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Basically, I became very familiar with the art of keeping a room full of dogs happy, safe, and entertained! 😂🐶 I’ve also done one-on-one pet sitting and have experience with pets who need a little extra care and attention, including dogs with separation anxiety and diabetic cats. I know how important it is to stick to your pet’s routine and follow their specific instructions, whether that means medication, extra potty breaks, a certain feeding schedule, or just some good old-fashioned cuddles. I’m currently in a transition period after moving back to Virginia Beach, which means I have plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m happy to go for walks, play fetch, provide endless belly rubs, or simply hang out with a nervous pup who needs someone nearby. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident that they’re getting more than just the basics. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, keep you updated while you’re away, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. ❤️ Whether your dog is ready for an adventure or your cat would prefer that I respectfully admire them from across the room, I’m here for it. 🐕🐈 I’d love to meet you and your furry family I’m currently in a transition period since I have moved back to Virginia Beach. Currently I am available any day during the week. This could change over time and will be updated as life continues. I always get information on the animals normal routine ahead of time so that the fur baby feels comfortable. Some example are if an animal sleep in the crate at night I continue with that. Though if that’s not the case I love that just as much. Extra attention will be given because who wouldn’t want to give all the love that these animals deserve.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends and families dogs since I can remember. From single old pups to a house of 10 dogs and cats I’m currently off and free every Monday-Thursday after 2-3pm. Sometimes even as early as 10am. I’m open all afternoon and well into the next morning till 6am. I can only offer to take care of pets at your property, they’d rather be home anyways right? I find that animals prefer a new person in their own nest rather than in a strange new environment.
About: Since middle school I have dog walked, house/pet sat, and cared for animals. it is my FAVORITE gig. The last 4 years I have cat-sat from January-April for a kitty who just this year moved south, so I have been missing the animal love. My family has always had cats and dogs, and I’ve cared for deaf dogs, dogs of every size, and cats for years. I have been told that when I leave a house sitting gig, the animals are very calm and relaxed when their parents arrive home. I am currently a full-time student doing an internship locally. I will have various availability but look forward to making sure I meet your scheduling needs! I travel occasionally on weekends as well. Nights and early mornings are my most accessible time. However you care for your animals at home I will do my best to do the same! Whatever they need and are allowed I am willing to work with (:

Highly recommend! She went over and beyond with my fur baby Dragon. She did more than what I asked. Made sure he was fed, cleaned, and even played with him. She took pictures daily. He look so comfortable. He was so happy when I got home. She is very flexible with work schedules.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
