“Morgan was wonderful. She took my last‑minute request while I’m recovering from an injury and handled my big, energetic dog with confidence and care. She sent photo updates throughout the walk, which was such a comfort. Consistent and warm communication, reliable, and truly a huge help. I’d book with her again. Highly recommend.”

About: My (Abi’s) family ran a pet sitting business for almost 5 years, scaling back after covid. We worked with every breed and temperament of dog, and also took care of cats and occasionally fish. My family adopted rescues from abusive situations, so I have a lot of experience working with/training fear reactive and aggressive dogs, as well as escape artists and bolters. Jordan grew up with animals, pet-sitting for friends and family, and has stepped into pet-sitting with me! Together, we have a 4 year old dog, Atlantic, and a rabbit, JJ! I raised Atlantic from 10 weeks old and have worked with soo many puppies, as well as senior dogs, and know how to give medicine to pups, cats, and rabbits. Additionally, we have experience with nearly every kind of pet. We can work with pretty much anything you need for your pet, and would prefer to keep any routines and training habits you have for them! My schedule is generally super flexible. The more notice you can give me about any schedule changes would be great, but I totally get that things change last minute and I'll do my best to work out something that works for both schedules :) just message me! Safety is priority!! If your pet is easily startled, has any food aggression, has any triggers, is a bit more nervous/shy, or is a bolter, please let me know so I can be prepared and take more steps to keep everyone safe.

“Alyssa was flexible with our crazy Navy scheduling and constantly sent funny/cute pictures of our pup while she let him out around lunch. Would highly recommend!! She will love your pup as much as you do!!”

About: I am super caring, and patient. I’ve walked several dogs previously including Golden retrievers and Labs. I also have two pet parakeets that I love dearly. Friends and family have always counted on me with their pets. I would love to meet your pets ❤️ My schedule is pretty flexible especially later in the day as well as nights. On weekdays I get off at 3pm. Weekends I’m totally free for ANY TIME!!! I have plenty of space in my home for your dogs to run around, and there is also a dog park in my community as well.
About: I have been taking car of all kinds of dogs for years. I've watched dogs from Labrador puppies to senior German Shepards. I've owned dogs my whole life and I've always had a special bond with them. Dogs usually gravitate towards me because I am a very fun and light hearted person. My friends often refer to me as a Disney princess because of how I am with animals. I belive all animals need love and respect and I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I am a nanny for a mother of three during the day but I am usually only needed two or three days a week so my weekends are completely free. Even days when I watch my kids I am off by 3pm and can spend evenings with the pets. I have several dogs of my own so my house is fully equipped with w fenced in yard and my house is pet safe. In regards to a clients home I would of course check what the client has in place but as a pet owner I am also aware pets can be sneaky and love to get into mischief. I am always checking on clients pets making sure they are safe and not getting into things they shouldn't. I am also certified in pet cpr and massage therapy incase a pet does get into distress or if they need some other help with pain. Over all my priority is always the health and safety of my client beloved pets.
About: I stop and play with every pet that I meet. I love animals and want to continue my journey with pet care. I am open to doing sitting and walking. I am open to walking in the mornings at anytime after 6am. The sittings will have to be scheduled more in advance as I do have a job. I live on campus so I’m not able to host animals but I am able to walk dogs that live close to my community and I’m able to dog sit if you live close.
“Feeling overwhelmed and being unable to take our lab for walks in the midst of everything was heart wrenching. Chris was a life saver and stepped in within hours of our request. He was also extremely punctual and clearly knew what he’s doing. Our lab came back from his walks looking super satisfied, energy released and calm all through the day. Highly recommend Chris!”

“Ashlynn is great!! She’s super responsive and kind. I’ve been using her for about a month now and it makes me feel so much better that I have her to walk my sweet Penny when I am at work.”

“I was extremely nervous about using rover my Koda is 70Ibs and absolutely insane in the best possible way. Tyler reassured and explained to me how everything was going to work. When tyler came to the door Koda was in protective mode, thankfully tyler didn’t get scared off instead he suggested a new approach to them meeting and once Koda sniffed him he immediately let tyler take the leash! He was amazing and I will definitely be scheduling with him again!”

“Outstanding care and service! Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us a peace of mind. Everything went without a hitch, and we will definitely book again with Tiffany! Highly Recommend!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in animal shelters, dog daycare centers, and boarding facilities. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. After recently losing my beloved dogs, I realized I wasn't quite ready for another long-term commitment, but I deeply missed having dogs around. Rover has given me the perfect opportunity to open my home and heart to dogs while helping other pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have two cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable sharing their space, as well as two young children who have been around dogs their entire lives and know how to interact respectfully with them. For the comfort and safety of every pet in my care, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention and create a calm, stress-free environment during their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. My mornings typically begin with feeding pets, potty breaks, walks, or playtime before my family's daily activities start. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I can accommodate additional potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In the evenings, pets are included in our family's relaxed routine, with more playtime, walks, and cuddles before bedtime. For boarding and daycare, dogs are rarely left unattended, and I only accept pets from one household at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Dogs have access to our large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and because I am home throughout the day, they receive consistent attention and companionship. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, which allows me to focus on their individual needs and maintain a low-stress environment. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention at their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having a quiet and reliable caretaker, I respect their personality and routine. I am also comfortable following special instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chesapeake
Nicholas is great! My dog is full of energy, and he handled him perfectly. He was on time, sent updates during the walk, and took notes on the walk. I could tell he really enjoys what he does. He even came prepared with a water bowl and poop bags! My dog came back happy and worn out. I highly recommend him and would book him again.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Chesapeake. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chesapeake. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
