“Shanae was absolutely amazing , and Nova fully enjoyed her time with Shanae and Ash. I would definitely book with her again with no hesitation. She’s attentive, keeps you informed, and makes sure to send lots of pictures. She truly has an amazing spirit”

“I can’t say enough great things about our dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Diezel, while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the trip with photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Diezel was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. We came home to a relaxed and content pup, you can tell he got lots of love and attention. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Tavonne has always taken great care of our girl! She sends photos and responds quick to questions, and her house and yard are set up perfect. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Brandy was great as always! 5 Stars is definitely not enough! I know I can count on her to give my pups the best care. Even during a short overnight, they get lots of love and activities. Thank you, Brandy!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am very pleased. A'Lauren was so informative while I was away. I will definitely use her again!!! This left my mind at ease!!!”

“Cassandra was outstanding! By far, my favorite sitter for my boys. She gave daily updates, usually several times a day, with excellent pictures of both of my dogs. She made sure that they were well taken care of and even did enrichment-focused walks for my working breed. The next time I need to board my dogs, I’m going to pick her. Thanks for everything!”

“Janel is awesome and so sweet. She is very understanding and takes good care of our Murphy. She was so understanding and patient with us. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you”

“Highly recommend Kacie to anyone!!! We are semi-new to the area and needed to find someone to watch our 8 year old dog while we were away for a week trip out of the country. Kacie offered up doing a meet and greet which was extremely helpful. She answered all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable. While we were away, she sent daily pictures and updates. We didn’t have to worry at all! Our dog loved his time with Kacie and will definitely be having her watch our sweet pup again.”

“Dani was amazing with Benji, it was my first time using the rover app and she made my experience easy and worry free. Benji will definitely be going back.”

“Constance is a really special person. Great communicator, kind and open. She was open to do a meet and greet before Teddys actual staycation and allowed us to see her home and meet her pets to make sure everyone gets along. Once we dropped Teddy off she sent pictures every day! Communicated very clearly and kept me informed of Teddys well being. She was accommodating when we had little curve balls thrown at us and we have absolutely no complaints at all. Your fur babies will be in good hands with Constance! We will be booking again for our next vacation.”

“This was my first time boarding my puppy and Krystal was the best.com!!! She kept me updated on his status and sent pictures which kept me at ease. I will go to her for all my services. I even think my little man is sad that he had to leave her. Thank you Krystal for taking such good care of King!”

“Sierra did a fantastic job as always! I love how many pictures she sent throughout the day. It really reassures us that Dallas is happy and thriving! I know Dallas loves her too because even when we try to leave, he turned back for one more goodbye. I will keep coming to Sierra as long as I can!”


“Julie and Kenneth were wonderful with our miniature schnauzer, River! We received updates with pictures on how she was doing throughout her stay with them, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her with this wonderful family! Highly recommend!”

“My pup has stayed with Hillary twice now, and she is the sweetest! She's been so helpful and flexible, and Brownie has had a wonderful time with her family both times.”


“Pumpkin was in great condition when I picked her up. Jim and Barb were attentive to her needs and sent me several photos. I wasn’t worried about her and was able to enjoy my vacation.”

“This was Elisabeth’s second time looking after Cowboy! I just want to repeat how amazing & kind she is. I also appreciate her wonderful children for loving and also caring for my Cowboy! Please book with Elisabeth, she provides pictures & updates, & is anticipatory towards what you need! Expect your pet to be cared for as if it were her own pet! You will ABSOLUTELY not be disappointed. Thank you again Elisabeth, I’ll bring Cowboy by soon again for another appointment 🫶🏼”

“My dog Anakin had never been in a dog daycare before, and to be the first time he stay in one it was the best experience ever, Kim always kept in communication, always sent me photos, my dog from the first day felt comfortable with her, it was the best experience for my dog, for sure I will book with her again. Thanks for your service ?⭐️”

“By far the best experience we’ve had, we did the meet and greet and met the family our baby was going to stay with for a couple days and it was amazing! We could tell they really cared for our dog and any other dog out there. We got constant notifications about how our baby was doing and we got a lot of pictures and videos that made us feel super comfortable and happy our dog was getting the best care. 10/10 recommend her services, and will be using her in the future for future needs”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
I'm always happy to book with Jessica, my puppy Salem loves being with her. She's very considerate, making sure Salem gets proper attention and care, and communicates early, and often, to make sure we're on the same page or if a problem arises. As long as she'll take Salem, I hope to continue to book more sessions in the future.

Could not have found a more perfect sitter for my dog and my cat for our 5 day long trip. Communication was a breeze and she provided me with multiple photo updates throughout the day. Will most definitely rebook for future needs. Very accommodating and responsible.

I boarded my dogs for 10 days with her. She was super communicative! I really appreciated all the updates she sent me as I tend to be on the nervous side with my pups; I felt my dogs were incredibly comfortable with her after seeing the videos sent. By the time I picked them up, they didn’t seem to want to leave haha. She also went out of her way to bathe one of my pups! Thanks so much!!

Erica was beyond amazing with our one year old german shepherd. He has some reactivity and struggles to meet new people. Erica was extremely patient with Kai and let him get comfortable on his own timing. She is very knowledgeable about dogs, their behaviors, and actions to take. While Erica had Kai the communication was phenomenal. Pictures and updates every single day. Walks, playing outside, chilling inside. A very calm environment. Any questions I had were answered thoroughly. Kai was treated like he was her own. The rules, training, and schedule I had for Kai was respected and followed without question. If I ever go anywhere, I know exactly who I trust to watch Kai.. Erica! Thank you so much for all you did for Kai!

Krystal is awesome! We just moved back into the area and luckily she had availability to board our pup for the week. It was like they never missed a beat after 2.5 years. Krystal was very attentive, allowed her other dogs to play with our pup in the backyard and gave updates regularly with pictures. As long as we're in the Hampton Roads area, Krystal has a repeat customer everytime!

Ms. Tiarra T - Excellent, just wonderful, she was awesomely pleasant, and communicated every step of the way. She sent pictures and videos. Some of the pictures looked like he was away at a spa. She was patient with us and amazing with our little fur baby NIKO. I know he loves her and would want her as a second Mom. When we go on vacation we would love for her to take great care of him again. She is AWESOME!!!!!

This was my first time using Rover and Angelica exceeded my expectations. She put my mind at ease leaving my dog with her and cared for him the way I would. She is super sweet and communicative. Her family is really sweet as well. You can definitely say her passion for animals. I’ll definitely rebook with her again! Don’t hesitate to book with her.
