“Jazmin has watched our pets a few times now and I can say she’s truly outstanding with animals and is a delight to work with. We have a reactive chihuahua who is VERY choosy about who watches her and brand new rescue Pomchi who can also take a while to warm up, but Jazmin seems to have the magic touch when it came to earning trust and building a relationship quickly. Jazmin took time to meet with us ahead of our trip to meet the animals and address concerns, has always been communicative, sharing updates consistently (with pictures!) and meeting the very specific needs of our extended furry family. I can see why she has so many outstanding reviews. She’s one of the very few people we will trust with our petsitting needs! I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Felicia was amazing! We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you for everything. We’ll be in touch for another upcoming trip we’ll need your services for!”
“Robbyn is a wonderful pet sitter. You can count on her to be there and take good care of your pet. Robbyn has watched my great pyreneese a couple of times now and I have been very happy with her services.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of personal experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two cats, including a senior cat who requires extra attention, medication and specialized care. I also have experience caring for a large dog. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine and individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication or simply providing companionship, I want your pets to feel comfortable, safe and loved while you’re away. I know how important our pets are to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, kindness and attention I give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and routines. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care\. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own\. I’ll follow your pet’s established routine, respect your home, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable\. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will keep you updated while you’re away\.
“Ian was fantastic and took excellent care of our dogs while we were away. He kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed spending time with him. We would absolutely book with Ian again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!!”

About: As a nursing student, I provide attentive, reliable care. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and anxious pets, offering patience, consistency, and a calm, loving environment. As a student with free time, I structure my days around the pets I care for. I enjoy making time for walks, feeding, and play, so giving animals attention never feels like work for me.

I keep pets calm, safe, and cared for while respecting their space and daily needs.
About: Hi there! I'm a retired U.S. military veteran with over 20 years of service, now dedicating my time and passion to caring for dogs in the Norfolk, VA. I am the proud owner of a trained Belgian Malinois and a sweet Yorkie, so your dog will be welcomed into a home that will have an understanding on how to care of your pet. Since, I have had my Malinois she has taught me more skills that I could ever imagine. I have also been to a dog training school in order to provide a better understanding on how to communicate with my girls and with other dogs. I am not a dog training, but I have been using my new skills to teach Pynky (Belgium Malinois) to have a much more well-balanced dog. I am a retired Navy veteran for 10 years and spend alot of time with my household needs and of course spending time with my Pynky and Maya they both keep my husband and I busy. Despite my daily activities, my dogs are well taken care of, we go for daily runs and other needed activities from ball playing, retrieval and agility exercises needed to keep my girls well-balance and healthy. Your fur babies will be treating just as instructed by their parents whether high to low drive, I will meet their needs. In my daycare and boarding I will meet their needs with daily walks, playtime, feeding, medications etc... We do have a fence backyard, also have a dog park about two blocks away from my house. We also have a big space behind my back yard that we utilize on a daily basis especially for my Malinois. Inside my house they have a good space to walk around and relax.
“Sophie was incredible! It was the first time we ever used a pet sitter let alone a house sitter. Sophie was incredibly communicative, completely easing our anxiety and was great with our two large dogs (who would easily be too much for most people). We immediately booked her for another trip we have coming up, and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking. 6/5 stars!”
“Alexis was great . Our dogs can be difficult and she put us at ease and proved to be great with them . She also house sat and things were just as we left them . Highly recommend her and will be using her in the future.”
About: I am an absolute dog lover! I have owned and trained several dogs since I was young. I am available to walk, wash, feed, play, or just love on your pup. During our time together, I ensure you that your dog will have my undivided attention! My job allows for a lot of flexibility in my schedule, especially in the the spring and summer. I would be able to provide any care that you need with very little notice. In my home, I will do my best to accommodate your dog however you wish and they are most comfortable. To help with that, I can alter my home setting to something similar to yours! (allowing them on furniture, staying out of the kitchen, etc.) I live in a townhouse that does have a small, fenced space. Directly outside of the fence is a large grassy area that I can walk them in. In your home, I will complete all tasks as you instruct!
“This was our first time using a home/pet sitting service. Angie exceeded all expectations of comfort and piece of mind to humans and pets alike. We feel fortunate and blessed to have found someone that feels more like an extended, trusted family with the pets and home. ❤️🐕🐾🏠❤️ The pack decided she could be part of the cool kids club.🤷♂️”
“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!”
“Anna did a great job taking care of our Riley. Let us know when she arrived and left and sent updates and pics throughout the visit. Enjoyed our trip so much more knowing Riley was in such good care🤎”

Genesis, is great with my dog. Very reliable and trustworthy. I have used her services twice now and I have no complaints. She is flexible, has great communication and gives great care to my dog. She makes traveling so much easier knowing my dog is with someone I trust and my home is in safe hands.
Kimberly was a fantastic caretaker for our two anxious pups! She was so communicative and caring, making sure to let us know exactly when she was arriving and how our pups were doing (pics included). Even our skittish girl Lilly was at ease with Kimberly and let her give cuddles and medication to her. Kimberly treated our home with respect and left it nice and clean. 10/10 recommend and we’ll definitely be working with her again!!
Abby was such a wonderful sitter for our pomsky! She sent numerous photos and videos of our beloved doggy over the course of her stay, and in each one I could tell that she was taking excellent care of our very particular dog. We will definitely use Abby again the next time we need a sitter!
Dianna was available when we had a last minute change of plans to leave town for the holiday weekend. She responded immediately and scheduled a meet and greet within 24 hours. She was responsive, checked in multiple times, and sent pictures of our fur babies throughout the weekend.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Green Acres walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Green Acres maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Green Acres choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
