“Jazmin was so amazing!!! Truly incredible person with so much care for my sweet girl! Took her time coming to meet her beforehand and even fed a churu. I felt immediately comfortable with leaving the keys with her knowing she would be taking great care of her! No hesitation to book you again Jazmin and recommend you to everyone. Thank you!!”
“Tessa was amazing with our anxious dog, Polly. We recently moved to the area and were so happy to find someone that Polly was comfortable around. Tessa did drop ins for oral medication and potty breaks, and made sure that Polly got lots of love!”
“I have been booking Erika for visits with my dog for over a year now. I’m very picky with who I trust with my dog and Erika is just the best. She is communicative, timely, and my dog loves her❤️ Very very happy I found her !”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Even tho I am new to the rover app I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends and family for about 7 years now . I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I am mostly available Monday / Thursday after 6 pm , and fully available Friday / Sunday for boarding or drop ins , but could most definitely accommodate different times I currently don’t have any puppy’s of my own . I have a fenced yard for your puppy to play and explore and I also live blocks away from 2 separate parks where we could go on walks
“Very easy to communicate with Dustin! He took some pics of that animals while he visited and reported back once his visit was done. Very nice to have someone to count on in a pinch!!”
“Emily was very accommodating in my date change requests, she also helped right my yard after the hurricane blew through. Nefi enjoyed her play and being spoiled too! Recommended!”
“Vahid took excellent care of our furry kids while we were away. He communicated with us regularly, took plenty of pictures, and was very respectful of our home. It was such a relief to come home knowing our boys were well taken care of. We will definitely check with him next time we have a need for someone to check in on our kids. Thank you so much!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and I currently have two large (70+ lb) dogs. I grew up with small to medium dogs and before my current pups, I dog/cat sat all manner of dogs and cats from friends and family. I am very detail oriented and attentive when providing care for pets in addition to have a calming presence that pets quickly grow fond of. I have experience with crate training, leash training and giving oral and topical medication. I have created extensive care documents for my own dogs and am happy to follow as many instructions for your pets. I have immense flexibility to check in on, walk and house sit your pets throughout the weekdays currently and for weekends, I would review requests on a case by case basis. I'm happy to visit your pets and help with feeding, walking or any other specific care you need while you're away. I really enjoy playing with dogs, especially if they like fetch! I enjoy really long walks and can even run with your dogs if your dog needs more exercise. Otherwise, I'm happy to cozy up with your pet and I can even stay overnight if needed.
“Ana was a great sitter. She took care of my two cats and parrot and was super enthusiastic and friendly. She even fed my parrot fresh fruits and vegetables. I'll definitely be using her in the future!”
“Hans is great! We are just starting our Rover relationship and he is getting to know my dogs and they are learning to trust him. In time, I will be able to go out of town because they will be in love with him!”
“Emily was great with my elderly cat. She has perfect instincts for when to get closer and when to give her space. My cat was happy, healthy, and calm when I got home from vacation. I will use her services again.”
“Jaclyn was an amazing Rover. She took very good care of our kitties while we were away for 2 weeks. She was very professional, and was very thoughtful. Would book her again in a heart beat!”
“Very friendly sitter who got two shy cats to interact with her. She also cleaned up after the cats after they kicked litter everywhere and had some hair balls. Would love for her to watch the cats for our next trip!”
“Samantha was a joy to work with. She was so kind and took such great care with Boo. We are so sad that she is moving out of the area and wish her the best of luck in all her endeavors! Thank you, Sam!”
“Andee was great with our dog! Super friendly and very attentive; the pictures we received during the dog sit made us smile so much. Highly recommend, and will use her again if we ever go back out of town.”
About: I've been a pet owner and animal lover my whole life! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have experience volunteering in animal shelters and watching friends' pets.

I love animals and getting to know them, and I will take care of your animals as if they're my own.
Colonial Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hilda was great! She was very responsive and very punctual with our check ins. My cats felt very comfortable and safe with her, and she shared great pictures and updates of the care she took of them. I will absolutely reach out to her again whenever I’m out of town!
Vahid took excellent care of our furry kids while we were away. He communicated with us regularly, took plenty of pictures, and was very respectful of our home. It was such a relief to come home knowing our boys were well taken care of. We will definitely check with him next time we have a need for someone to check in on our kids. Thank you so much!
1000/10 Ana went above and beyond. She was very detailed daily with the house visits and it was truly such a pleasure to have her watch my babies! She even helped with my rats/bearded dragons & i am sooo grateful. She cleaned litter boxes, water plants & brought in my mail which is so kind because I didn’t even ask her too 🥹❤️🔥. I’m not even home yet & I can already tell from the pics they loved her. Defiantly a huge comfort knowing I can trust her & will be rebooking asap!!
Emily was an awesome cat sitter for our two week vacation! She was a great communicator, quick to respond, and always kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. It’s always hard leaving our cats for that long, but Emily gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were cared for, loved, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. We’re so grateful we found her. 10/10 would recommend, and we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
It's clear the amount of care and undertanding Jandy has of animals with the way she interracted with my cat. Not only does she spend significant time getting to know them and ensuring the human that their fur baby is in good hands, she also built my cat a blanket fort for enrichment while I was gone. It was very sweet and I know my cat was in good hands.
Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.
Natalie did such a great job. She went above and beyond to record and document her visits so well. I was quite impressed at her professionalism and quality of care,communication and attention to detail. 10/10 would recommend her services. Thank you Natalie and I look forward to more coverage in the future.
We basically never leave our dogs and even take them to work daily so it's hard not to worry. Lorna was amazing with our dogs! She was able to get Ripley and Reagan to eat separately, filled water, picked up poop but most importantly (Gave our dogs LOVE and PETS!) Lorna even sits down on the floor to cuddle and boy did our dogs look happy! We highly recommend Lorna!
