“Kelly was amazing! She did so well staying in our home for a long weekend with our 4 month old and 3 year old. Maggie is a bit timid around people but immediately bonded with Kelly. We will be having her back again in the near future! Highly recommend !”

“Margaret was exceptional! She took care of my 4 fur babies, sent pictures & updates daily, and left my home in great condition. I would definitely recommend her pet sitting services and would book her again.”

“Per usual Brittany did an outstanding job taking care of our Gracie Ann. We are so happy to have found her on Rover. We highly recommend Brittany and are looking forward to her next visit taking care of our baby girl. Thanks so much Brittany and see you soon.”


“Shannon watched my 4 month old, large breed puppy for 6 days. I was anxious about leaving him since I have only had him since April and am a new dog mom. I’m so grateful for Shannon. She sent multiple text updates a day, is a good communicator, and reinforced his training. I appreciate her feedback. My pup was walking better on a leash after his time with her ?. She took good care of my place too, and I came home to a clean room and linens.”

“Ashley did a great job looking after 2 large dogs. She was conscientious with the medication requirements for them. The house was also left spotlessly clean. Highly recommended. Will definitely use her again.”

“Hannah was fantastic! She stayed with my dog while I was out of town. She sent me lots of updates and took great care of him, most importantly keeping him company while his family was gone. He was totally relaxed when I got home. I would absolutely recommend her.”

“Hillary did a great job taking care of Sir Henry! She kept me updated throughout the visit, took him for a walk, played with him, and made sure he had plenty of attention and activity. When we arrived home, Sir Henry was happily napping, which told me he had a fun and busy afternoon. I really appreciated the updates and knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. Overall, we were very happy with Hillary and would be happy to have her watch Sir Henry again!”


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.
“Steven pet sat for us in our home. He sent us pictures of our animals and even dealt with our chickens getting loose. Our animals were well kept and our house meticulous when we got back.”

“JaNasia watched our cats this past weekend and she went over and above. While the were probably not the most friendly, she showed patience and spent extra time with them. The house remained in order and nothing was out of place.”

About: I have been a passionate dog lover for as long as I can remember, and dogs have been a part of my life since childhood. Growing up with two dogs and caring for them sparked my lifelong dedication to their well-being. At just 10 years old, I turned my love for dogs into action by starting a dog-walking business, which quickly grew into a steady after-school job for six years. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and perfect in its own way, and I strive to provide them with the highest level of attention, compassion, and professionalism. I’ve also found that dogs naturally gravitate toward me, making it easy to build trust and create positive experiences for them. Beyond my experience and deep love for animals, I am reliable, easy to reach, and offer a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Whether your pup needs a daily walk, extra playtime, or just a caring companion, I am here to ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Let’s make every walk the best part of your dog’s day! 🐾 Im currently a full-time student and athlete in college! I have a wonky schedule and was looking for specific time that is flexible with my schedule. I am a very active person and will normally jog with pets unless age or disabilities prevent this. I am always happy to accommodate; I have just found that higher intensity exercise makes for a happier furry friend!

“Kate did an excellent job taking care of Penny while we were visiting the area. Penny was well cared for and in good spirits when we returned. Thanks for taking care of our baby-”

“Angie was great. Lucy loves her. This is the 2nd time of house sitting we had with her and we came to a clean house both times. Will definitely recommend her and will call her up in the future.”


“Jenna was a wonderful sitter for both of the dogs. She provided a loving environment in our home and made the dogs feel very comfortable and well cared for. She provided nightly updates and plenty of pictures and went above and beyond to ensure the comfort of them.”

About: I grew up with dogs, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Most recently, I spent two months in Alaska looking after my sister’s Belgian Malinois, which gave me hands-on experience with an energetic, intelligent breed. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, love, and meds. Right now, I have lots of free time and a flexible schedule to dedicate to your pet’s care. I also have my own car, so transportation is never an issue. As someone who always appreciated updates when away from my own pets, I’ll keep you in the loop with regular check-ins, photos, and messages. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family—because that’s what they deserve! I recently graduated college and, while I’m currently interviewing for jobs, I have a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. That means I can be available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care when it works best for you and your pet. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I’m happy to work around your routine to make sure your pet gets the love and attention they need! I live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for peaceful walks, and my home has a fenced turf front yard where pets can safely play and relax. I don’t have any other pets in the house right now, so your dog will get my full attention. Inside, it’s a comfortable, air-conditioned space with plenty of room for toys and naps. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always make sure to follow their routine closely and keep their safety, comfort, and happiness as my top priority.
“Jennifer was good for both us and our fur babies. She sent daily updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were getting all the attention and care they needed. We are confident that she will not disappoint anyone who leaves their pets in her care.”


“Adam was fantastic! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone he had only met once before (for a meet and greet) but everything went so smoothly. He was a great communicator and very courteous.”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Fort Story is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Story
This was my first time using a dog sitter service for my dog. Ms. Karen made this experience so simple and stress free. She was constantly sending updates with videos and pictures. Not only would I recommend Rover, but Ms. Karen overall. Definitely I will be rescheduling her on my next trips.

Kelly is always my first call when I need someone to watch my dog. She’s so kind with my pup, especially as she ages and needs some extra help with medication. Kelly takes such care of the house too. I never have to worry about anything. Would always recommend!

Chris was so great with our Bowie! This was his first time with him and he was able to meet him prior to our trip! Chris was extremely responsive and gave Bowie a wonderful experience! Was our first time working with him but it won’t be our last! Thank you Chris!

Rachel was amazing! She stayed at our house to watch Minnie, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took such great care of her and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house — it was clear Minnie got lots of love and attention. We’d absolutely have Rachel stay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!
