“Cristen and family were amazing! Wish we had found them before. They took very good care of Asher while we were at our daughter’s graduation. We didn’t have to worry about Asher at all. Wonderful family!”

“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.”

“Heather is the perfect sitter! She took excellent care of both of our dogs. She even administered oral meds to our elderly dog with no issues. She sent pictures and video of them having fun. I am glad we booked with her.”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.
“Jakorey took excellent care of my dog when I went out of town. He sent me several pictures of him, walked him and played with him. I would take my dog to Jakorey again. Thank you.”

“Awesome and Pleasant Military orientated Couple!!! My sweat Venus greated me very cheerfully when I picked her up! These couple are very involved and cared for my furry baby as their Owen. Was updated with pictures in the morning and evenings plus videos daily. Daily they would have a to two miles of hiking. Katherine would update me with their daily significant adventure like I was reading a story book and help me to stay closer when I’m at a distance. A peaceful and safe wide open neighborhood! Highly trust my girl with them in the near future in my future TAD.”


“Alexis was the best! We are transitioning from Boston Massachusetts to Hampton roads, and at the last minute I needed a sitter for 2 of my golden doodle boys, to move my remaining items to VA, and Alexis quickly responded and agree to Take my boyz. She took pictures and messaged me daily about much fun they were having. We definitely will utilize Alexis again! We found a sitter here in Hampton Roads! Yay!!”

“Janel was absolutely amazing!! This was my very first time boarding my dog and she made the process seamlessly easy. She kept me updated with Bruno via pictures and when I received Bruno back he was in a very great mood. I’d highly recommend Janel, she was perfect!”

“Kacie was sooooo nice and welcoming from the very 1st text to the meet & greet. She made us feel so at ease while at the meet & greet. She wanted to ensure she took care of our furbaby in the same manner as we do & that meant the WORLD to us!!!!! She took the time to ask all the pertinent & important questions and asked if we had any of her as well. She took & sent pics to us keeping us updated regularly. She made it soooo much easy for us to spend our vacation at ease knowing our furbaby was in HER CARE!!! She provided EXCELLENT CARE for Bruno!!!! He will be returning to her again in a few weeks!!! Im soooo happy to have found Kacie!!!!!”


“This is our first time using Rover and Jeff delivered a great experience! The communication was easy and Jeff and his wife were extremely accommodating! Our dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their stay! Rover made it super easy to locate a good sitter for our pets? Thank you Rover and Jeff for a great experience!”

“I’m so glad I found Shanae, I was at ease while I was away. I loved the pics and videos she sent daily. I felt like my Frankie preferred being in a home environment where he can get 1:1 attention versus a boarding facility with dozens of other dogs.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! We couldn’t be happier with the outstanding care Omaira and Isaac provided for our dogs while we were away for a week. From start to finish, Omaira and Isaac were professional, highly communicative, and incredibly attentive to our dogs' needs and daily routines. We received regular updates and photos, which completely put our minds at ease and allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. It’s clear that Omaira and Isaac genuinely love animals and treats them as if they were their own. We returned home to happy, relaxed, and beautifully cared-for dogs. If you are looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter, look no further. We will absolutely be booking again!”

“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”

“I read the Brandy’s reviews and was impressed but because this was my first time leaving my dog I was nervous. Brandy was exceptionally great. I got daily updates with pictures and videos. I felt so comfortable after the first night I will use you always for my fur baby. She communicated with me before she gave her anything other than treats and I was very pleased. My fur baby had a great time because the next day after I picked her up she slept lol. Thank you Brandy for doing a great job with my precious cargo (Hennicey).”

“Emily is the best! She is so kind and caring. My dog is very loved while in her presence and i can tell she has the genuine heart for animals! highly recommend! 10/10!”


“Jackie and Kevin did great with our babies. They were very responsive and gave updates. My pups are a little spoiled and one requires daily medications, but Jackie made us feel comfortable that everything would be fine and it wasn't a hassle. I'd recommend them and would rebook in the future.”

“Jessica was nothing but amazing this stay! We’ve stayed with her twice before and Rippley loved her. She’s very flexible with your plans and makes sure to make your puppy feel at home, plus her kiddos make excellent sitters too!”

“WOWSIE WOW WOW! Short notice and Tavonne was extremely gracious to accept Bailey. SUPER EXCITED that Baily had a few playmates. Extremely GRATEFUL for the several text pictures of Bailey just chillin with his buddies. Extremely GRATEFUL to receive several text pictures of Bailey and his buddies just chillin.”

“Constance is a really special person. Great communicator, kind and open. She was open to do a meet and greet before Teddys actual staycation and allowed us to see her home and meet her pets to make sure everyone gets along. Once we dropped Teddy off she sent pictures every day! Communicated very clearly and kept me informed of Teddys well being. She was accommodating when we had little curve balls thrown at us and we have absolutely no complaints at all. Your fur babies will be in good hands with Constance! We will be booking again for our next vacation.”

Emily has taken care of my two rowdy doggos twice in the past 6 months. Both times, we've returned home to happy healthy pups. The first time was drop in visits for a long weekend, and the second time was boarding them in them in her home for a solid week. My husband and I have nothing but wonderful praises for Emily! She is, and will remain, our first and best choice for pet care!

I’m so thankful I found Timerra! My baby gets so anxious when we’ve tried boarding outside of our home in the past. Not this time! She made him feel right at home. She even sent pics and videos of him playing with her pups and kiddos, which put me at ease and gave me so much relief to see how well he was doing. Ocho slept almost immediately once he got home. I could tell he was exhausted from all of the playing. Thank you for taking such good care of Ocho, Timerra! You’ll be my first choice anytime we need to go out of town. I can only pray you’ll be available 🙌

Elisabeth took care of our corgi, Haze, for 8 nights while my wife and I were on a Caribbean cruise. He had a blast with her and her family, and she was very diligent with his last-minute medication regimen. We felt a lot better about him being watched for so long in a safe home after he had a rough go of pneumonia after he was boarded at a corporate doggy daycare/boarding business.

Katharina was amazing. This was a trial day for us to see how they handle our old man. Mayhem has high energy in new environments. He gets over stimulated very easy but today he had the best experience. She sent pictures and videos all day. He was so calm and plyed well with her fur baby was easily calmed. I definitely will use them again for more play dates.

Could not have found a more perfect sitter for my dog and my cat for our 5 day long trip. Communication was a breeze and she provided me with multiple photo updates throughout the day. Will most definitely rebook for future needs. Very accommodating and responsible.

I had such an amazing experience with Meredith and her family ! They were super informative, incredibly caring, and paid attention to every little detail. My sweet boy instantly felt comfortable with them, and I loved getting updates that showed how well he was being looked after. I felt totally at ease the whole time. Highly recommend they’re amazing!
