“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.”

“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.”


“This is the second time Alexandra has sat for us. As usual our babies were happy and well taken care of! Alexandra is great with dogs of all ages. Highly recommend.”

“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! My dogs loved her, the house was just the way I left it, and she even brought my mail in for me. I will definitely be biking with her again 🥰”


“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.”

About: I have grown up with a mix of big and little dogs my whole life. I am comfortable with up to four dogs at a time. Comfortable with puppies and dogs with lots of energy. I'm currently taking classes at TCC. I work at a restaurant at the oceanfront at night. And I tend to split up my time between Norfolk and Virginia Beach pretty evenly. But I love animals, and I'm so happy to help people take care of them. I’ve grown up with a variety of animals, including reptiles. I feel comfortable with almost any animal. And I have no fear. I’ve also grown up with some special-needs animals like diabetic cats and stuff like that.

“We had a great experience with Autumn watching Dash and Valerie! She was extremely communicative and kept us updated with how everything was going at the house while we were in North Carolina. I especially appreciated her time management; she made sure Dash and Valerie were completely taken care of while still balancing her own daily needs. We felt completely at ease and would definitely book with her again!”

“We left the country for 19 days and left behind our 5 adult cats, which broke my heart because they’re my children, and I would never forgive myself if something happened to them. So it was really hard for me to leave them alone... Such a huge mental challenge that was made so much easier by Kaylee’s care, patience and attention to detail. She’s young but admirably responsible. I left so many instructions printed with pictures explaining everything about their personalities, preferences and routines that I’m sure it was overwhelming, but she was absolutely amazing and did exactly what I asked. I think she understood that I was anxious, worried and sad about leaving them alone, so she sent me pictures of each of the 5 cats every single day during those 19 days we were away from home, which I’m sure must have been a big challenge because they hid from her and my house is big, a two story house... But I needed to be sure they were all alive and okay, and she went the extra mile looking for them and taking pictures every single day for me. And because of that, she scored many points! I’m so glad we found her because it’s been so hard to find a reliable cat sitter nowadays. As soon as we got home, I could see how tidy everything was and how much care she had taken with every detail I had explained about their food, water and bowls, as well as all the cat litter boxes in the house. From now on, I don’t want anyone else taking care of my cats but her. 🙏🏻❤️”

“JaNasia is incredibly kind, patient, and responsible. She was able to handle our small zoo without issue and was always responsive and easy to reach. Will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for the past 8 years, and I’m also a cat owner myself. I really enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time but have gaps in my day where I can check on your fur babies and make sure they are thriving in their home. I can pick up on behavior quickly and would love to take care of them in an environment they know and already love. I would love to meet them ahead of time to establish trust.
“Olivia stayed at our home with our 13-year-old senior dog and took great care of him. He was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got back. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We’d definitely have Olivia stay with him again”

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!

About: Pet owner from a young age: dogs and cats. My last two dogs have been rescue pit bulls named Misty and Lucy. I’m an avid walker (10k+ steps per day) and love having pets join me on my daily strolls. My work is part time and remote with a flexible schedule so I can adjust to your pet’s schedule. Fully available on weekends as well. I have a partially fenced waterfront home on a non-busy street. My home has one extremely animal friendly pit bull named Lucy. She is 12 and enjoys relaxing on the couch.
“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 fostered my friends dogs with full care for the past 2 years. Everything including play time, feeding, sleep time and outside care, unlimited scratchies I’m working mostly nights, so I have weekday availability all week long before 4 pm. Some nights I’m off too and happy to take care of your fur babies overnight I don’t have any pets or children so my main priority would be your fur baby. I’m a really caring and devoted person so I’ll make sure your fur baby feels as safe and loved as possible

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!
