“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! Our dogs came back smelling amazing — it's clear they were well cared for and given plenty of attention. We'll definitely be booking again!”
“This was our first experience with Rover, and I couldn’t be happier to have found Cristen and Michael. My pup was truly loved and cared for by them. There was no kennel—he had the run of the house, a fenced-in yard, walks and playtime, and I received wonderful pictures throughout his stay. It was clear that he was treated like one of the family. My pup is actually a senior citizen, and if he gets a vote on his caregiver, he’d pick Cristen and Michael. I would too. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience!”
“Stephanie and Matt were an absolute dream. I could tell right away that our timid-but-playful pup would feel safe and loved the two days our family spent at Busch Gardens and Water Country. Their home is spacious and bright, with an enormous fenced backyard. Their dog Callie was so friendly, as was the other dog being watched at the same time. Our dog Hattie was spoiled (in all the best ways) with playtime, treats and even sharing Stephanie's pillow overnight. :) I would recommend Stephanie and Matt to anyone needing wonderful care for their dog(s) in Williamsburg. Thanks so much, Stephanie and Matt; we look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Shanae was so sweet and reassuring. She made sure to communicate with me everyday and sent pictures/videos. My big boy was comfy and had so much fun at her home with Ash!”
“Robin is Absolutely amazing!! Sweet and loving to me and to my baby Teddy! She kept checking in and letting me know how he was doing. I felt like I made a friend in her. I highly recommend her and will use her again and again! I've already referred her to my friend!”
“All I have to say is that I will never take my furbabies to another sitter. Monica is fantastic! They went for walks and played lots! She is VERY understanding of the bullie breed. One of my dogs even had a small blister on his paw. She cleaned it, put on neosporin and wrapped it. I was so happy that she didnt just let it go even though we were picking up in a few short hours.”
“Best dog sitter I've come across in the Hampton Roads area. Ive used for overnight boarding when I go out of town and my dog loves it here. Tavonne provides updates, or pics if needed and lets me enjoy my break as well. Definitely my go to sitter ❤️”
“Amazing people, big backyard. Audi (pup) interaction was amazing, the way he was happy to give her kisses which reassured me he had a good time. Came home with pup and he plop right on the floor from the amount of fun he had. 100% will book again!!!!!!”
“Tameka was fantastic. She kept me abreast of what was going on with Justice and sent plenty of pictures for me to enjoy. I'll definitely be a return customer the next time I have to leave the state.”
“As always the girls had a fabulous time with Kamie and Pat. They are as happy to be there as we are to leave them there. Lots of updates on how the girls are doing and lots of photos to show they are having fun.”
“Awesome experience. Kristy and her kids are really friendly and clearly love animals. Drop off and pickup were easy. Communications leading up to and during Sandy's stay were excellent. Kristy sent periodic photos and updates while Sandy was with her family. Sandy even slept with one of her daughters. They truly take your pet in to be one of their own while with them!! Couldn't have been a better experience.”
“Ashley and Ashley took great care of my pup! Their big back yard, and friendly boxer made my guy’s stay a wonderful time. They sent some fun pictures and made sure he was safe and comfortable while I was out of town.”
“Louis comes home happy after spending time with Julie and Kenneth. They send updates with pics while I am away and are very accommodating. Definitely would book with them again!!”
“I highly recommend Tashaun as a sitter for your fur baby. He recently kept my dog while I was away for a short vacation and I was able to relax knowing that Roxxi was in great hands. He was very professional from start to finish and made sure he got to know her while asking me various questions to ensure her routine stayed the same and that he understood her personality. He sent me pictures and updates to let me know she was doing ok and provided a great break down of her stay when I got her back. I will definitely be contacting him first for my next sitter need. Great work, and thank you so much for all that you did for us.”
“Joseph and Ima were wonderful! They were very easy and kind to work with. Moose got along great with their dogs and had lots of fun! We are very comfortable having them take care of our dog and highly recommend if you’re looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Tanisha was very accommodating. I was able to pick up my pup, take him to the beach, & bring him back. Whenever I went to pick him up he was a bit sad to leave her, indicating that she treated him very well during his stay. I really appreciate her & her services!”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hayes home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hayes.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
