About: I have several years of experience caring for a wide range of animals, from beloved furry companions to fish and even large reptiles. My passion for animals began at a young age, inspired in part by countless hours watching Animal Planet, which helped spark my curiosity and deepen my understanding of animal behavior. Over the years, I’ve developed a natural ability to connect with animals, especially those that may feel anxious or unsure. I take pride in creating a calm, reassuring environment that helps pets feel safe and loved. For me, pet care isn’t just a responsibility. It’s a heartfelt commitment. After all, our pets are family, and I treat them as such. At this moment, I currently have no pets. But I am open and available to assist with others who do. I’m pretty flexible. My classwork is self paced. It’s all about what the client needs. Believe it or not but some animals do have allergies. So there are a lot of does and don’ts. Other than that, I assure any mess is cleaned up, pets are fed properly and on schedule, and bathroom breaks are given. And of course play time and walks if needed.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was 14. My family relied on me to feed, walk, play, and bathe the animals. I enjoy my time taking care of the pets/animals around me. I am available 24/7 to care for the pets. I have open availability every day of the week and am indoors for majority of those days. I have an animal park at my apartment that they can run around in and a spacious living room if they want to play. I stay close to them to make sure they well taken care of.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been my passion. I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, pigs, reptiles, birds, and even marine mammals such as dolphins and sea lions. I worked as a veterinary nurse for six years, so I have the knowledge and experience to recognize your pet’s individual needs and provide attentive, compassionate care. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, or has special medical needs, you can trust that they will be treated like family while they’re in my care. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule to work with you and your pets needs. I can pop in when needed or can be available for pet sitting. Whatever your pet may need I can cater to. Whether it be walks, jogs, feeding, playing, medication administration or even pet sitting, I'm your gal.
“They took the best care of my pup Georgia!! She played all day long which was apparent in how tired she was when we got home. Jessica has a great house and backyard for the pups. Your due child will be in good hands!”
“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Jared! He is always very flexible with scheduling, which I truly appreciate, and he consistently sends photos throughout the day that give me peace of mind. Bella absolutely loves going there—especially the trips to the park to play and burn off energy. She also adores children, so she gets extra excited on days when she can spend time with his daughter. It’s clear she feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Vianca and her family were so wonderful to Calvin. He had so much fun there, was so excited every morning and made me drag him away when it was time to leave. Her dogs played nicely with my puppy. They adhered to providing him a couple dedicated crate naps daily. Would def use Vianca again! Thank you!”
“This family takes great care of our pup. When I pulled into the drive and Rosy recognized where we were, she was super excited! They love her and Rosy loves them right back!”
About: As a former Air Force Medical Technician I have medical experience with humans, for the past nine years I have cared for many pets with medications. If your baby needs daily medication (eye drops, ear drops, pills or injections) I can easily accomplish on schedule. Our Bernedoodle, Claira, loves other dogs and cats! Daily walks are part of our routine and I would love to include your fur baby too! My three human children love having guest dogs and enjoy snuggling with them on the couch or in bed! All pets are free range in the house and are welcome on our furniture. Our house has a large fenced in backyard and the pool has a 4 ft fence that keeps all children (human and pets) safe! Please see the photos or reach out to me with any questions. I am home full-time and will offer my time and affection to your baby while you are away! I walk my neighborhood everyday, please bring walking harnesses/collars. I have a fenced in backyard and one dog with three cats to keep your fur baby company! Our screened in porch is a pet favorite. All pets are loved on and treated like a member of our family.
“Dejé a Valentino de 6 meses por primera vez con Rosa por tres dias y Ella supo darle todo el amor y cariño para que se sintiera bien, incluso tuvo que dar de comer con su mano para que no dejara de alimentarse. Nos enviaba fotos y videos y estuvimos viendo como se comportaba, definitivamente lo volveré a dejar cuando lo necesite, y si quieres dejar tu mascota en buenas manos, déjalo con Rosa”
“Sarah did a fabulous job with Reno. He had fun, and she clearly loves having animals around so he felt welcome. She made me feel completely at ease leaving my precious pup for the day!”
“Our Kona's Day Care is coming along quite nicely with Maggie and her family. He is getting to know her children and small dog. We look forward to leaving Kona with Maggie for a few nights later this month. We think it is a good fit and that he will be happy which is very important to us. Thank you Maggie for taking good care of our boy. Mike and Kay Chase”
About: I have been around animals since I was born! I grew up on a farm and have built a true passion for animal care. I have a dog of my own, Mj, who I adopted around 3 years ago. I am currently taking some time off work to be a full time student at CNU! I have found that I have several hours or days to spare and would love to put them to some good use! I am excited to meet more people in my community and hopefully form some connections. I live in a very pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of space for indoor or outdoor activities. I live with my 8 year old Lab Mj who isn’t the most active play partner but she can definitely play a mean game of fetch! We have all the toys and treats your pets love! I am extremely close to several dog parks/ walking trails. With access to several rooms and an extra large crate there are multiple opportunities for seperation.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Fort Eustis is $30

Lauryn and her family was amazing to my baby! I can't thank her enough. I was so nervous about leaving Dutchess due to this was her first time being away from me. I visited several different facility, and felt like that wouldn't be the best care for Dutchess. I loved that Lauryn coordinator with me to do a meet and greet. Lauryn was also flexible and willing to working with my time schedule. She and her family was so attentive,gentle,patience, and careful with Dutchess. They made this decision easy for me, giving me peace of mind and comfort. While Dutchess was in her care she provided regular updates on my baby. I'm was so pleased and happy to know Dutchess was in the best care. I'm definitely going to continue to book Lauryn every time and become a regular. Thank you and your family again for being so amazing 💕
Our two dogs stayed at Melissa's for part of two days. On the second day they entered comfortably and seemed relaxed. The seemed comfortable with Melissa's dogs. They were of course glad to see us at the end of each day. Melissa was very careful about having dogs on leash before front doors were opened. and always had everything ready for us when we picked up. Melissa had a back yard where they I assume could go out when they wished. I assume that they did not have walks, as there was a back yard.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Fort Eustis commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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.

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.
