“Laurelyn went above and beyond for our kitties! She was very communicative and tidy. Very thankful for her looking in on our cats and giving them some attention over the holidays. Thanks so much!”
“Amanda is a top notch professional and kind hearted person who really loves animals. She was flexible for us when our plans changed due to some bad weather. She brought in our mail too. Which is absolutely going above and beyond. Our dog loves her too. Also, her communication was above and beyond. I can't say enough positive things about her. If you're looking for a professional yet down to earth animal lover Amanda is it. 100 out of 10.”
“Isis was amazing with our Rocket He is a very nervous boy-and she was so patient with him! We really appreciate her attention to him and the care she took. Wonderful.!”
“Ok, let me start by saying this is the first time ever with all the dogs we have had did we use a dog sitter. We were so nervous but eventually we went full in on using one. What a true pleasure it was to have met and used Ashley. No words can express how well she made not only us but our beloved Romare feel while we were away. Don’t second guess her. She is amazing. No doubt we will, and I say again will, use her again. Unfortunate that we could only give 5 stars. Thank you Ashley!”
“Katherine was wonderful! She sent me daily rover cards with a brief message, along with photos of my cat Sabrina. She was great to work with, friendly, and had good communication. Plus she was able to administer medication that was needed daily for Sabrina. Katherine made me feel comfortable leaving for a week. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you!”
“I used to board my cat when on vacation but decided to try a pet sitter. I found Bobbi through Rover and have been very happy with the results. She checked in every day, twice a day with reports and pics. It felt so much better than knowing my cat was sitting in a crate with limited time out at the kennel. I definitely recommend Rover and Bobbi and I will confidently use their services again in the future.”
“My cats loved Kelly right away, which is the most important thing! I appreciated her detailed reports every day, which gave me peace of mind. Really feeling lucky that we found Kelly:).”
“Megan is the sweetest! She’s super professional, attentive and punctual! My cat has a lot of energy and is super social and Megan takes the time to play with her and give her attention she needs and my cat loves her! She goes above and beyond every time 😊”
“Found Brittany through Rover 1 day before my trip, met the same day and it was a perfect match for Roxi our Sheepadoodle. Awesome communication and daily pictures. I would highly recommend her.”

I structure my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening wind-downs, I make sure each pet feels loved and secure. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the attention they need throughout the day, and I’m always happy to accommodate special routines or last-minute requests. Building strong bonds with animals is something I genuinely look forward to every single day. Whether I’m hosting your pet in my home or visiting yours, I create a calm, comfortable environment that mirrors the love and routine your pet is used to.
About: I’ve been working in dog daycares since i was 16. I can handle breeds of all shapes and sizes. I have helped several clients to make sure their days are easier. Currently working part time and have plenty of free time to care for and love on your babies! Im available for walks or overnights 7 days a week I can do walks on leash or watch pups outside. For my own home, I have a large backyard with lots of space to roam.
“Krysten was so awesome with our sweet Eddie!! She has amazing communication and always made sure to let us know anything with Eddie while we were out of town!! We are super grateful for her!! And would highly recommend!!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and I would love to help others care for their furry family members! Growing up I used to volunteer for my local animal shelter and take the dogs on walks, feed them and clean their cages and spend lots of time playing with them! I also have experience caring for small to medium sized dogs through my family, including chihuahuas, dachshunds, collies and labs. My husband and I currently own two cats, Dale and Winston, so I have plenty of experience caring for felines as well. I currently have a very busy work schedule but I am available for drop-in visits or pet sitting on the weekends in the Virginia Beach Area. I can do drop-in visits, walks and pet sitting. As long as you give me instructions or guidelines I will follow them to a tee and provide lots of love and attention!
About: I’ve help take care of all of my own dogs since I was three. My personal love for dogs goes beyond just mine and I intend to treat each animal I work with as if it were my own! I just graduated college and am waiting on a job opportunity. In the mean time, I figured walking dogs would be a great source of activity and income during this time in my life! I frequently take them on walks, play with them, and make sure they are well taken care of. I bathe my own dog at least once a week and am open to providing that service as well.

Cordillia A.
“Cordillia worked for me at our Luxury Dog Resort for 1 year. She was reliable, punctual and trustworthy. She will get to know your pet individually and knows to trust her instincts if she feels anything is "off" with your pet. She watched our 2 year old Lab Charlotte at our home for a week also while we were in Alaska. Our Resort was sold out ironically so we needed a pet sitter for our own dog. She gave me frequent updates and my dog was perfectly happy and healthy when we returned. You will be lucky to have her care for your pets.”

Rika B.
“Rika is an excellent caregiver when it comes to watching dogs. She's attentive, easy going, and most importantly truly cares for each and every dog she comes into contact with. My dog Ziggy is the biggest fan of her and most days would not leave her side whenever she would drop by for a visit. She would give him constant attention and treats (which he absolutely loved). She's great with dogs of all shapes and sizes and is a great choice if you're in need of a dog sitter or walker.”
