House Sitting in Newport News

“We cannot say enough good things about Taylor and the exceptional care she provided for our three dogs over the past two weeks. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing they were in capable and loving hands. Taylor kept us updated with frequent pictures, allowing us to see how happy and comfortable our pups were under her care. Beyond her regular duties, Taylor truly went above and beyond when one of our dogs experienced a medical emergency. She acted quickly, coordinated a vet visit, and then provided attentive post-care, ensuring our pup's full recovery. Her professionalism, calm demeanor, and dedication in such a stressful situation were nothing short of remarkable. Taylor is a compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier pet care. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and we would not hesitate to book her again in the future!”

“Anna is terrific! We have not used Rover before and were a little hesitant with someone staying in our home when we plan on going on vacation. Several weeks before our trip, Anna Mei came to our house and spent about 2 hours with us and our dogs. That was a great way for us to get to know each other and see how comfortable our dogs were with her and she with our dogs. At her suggestion, we spent one night in a hotel as a trial run while she stayed with our dogs. Everything went really well, and she kept us updated on what was going on. She definitely earned our trust, and we are relieved that we found a reliable sitter for when we are on our vacation. We will definitely request her again. Thanks Anna!”

About: I am a kind walker and love playing with dogs. I have bad anxiety and autism and seeing the dogs I walk and play with brings a smile to my face. Walks with me are long and worth the money as we take the longest route in the given time frame. My cocker spaniel and hound mix love their walks and play time. They also just enjoy the company whenever I come home. Rest assured, your dog is in excellent hands with me, as not only am I a dog lover, but an animal lover as well. Many dog owners love the care and affection I give their dogs on a regular basis. In conclusion, I hope to meet your dogs soon and have lots of fun with them! I am a full time student, so my schedule updates to reflect my class times. However, during breaks I am fully available to take care of pets. I am very respectful of the place I enter so that it appears as if I was never there. I make sure everything is put away where it belongs and double check everything is put back where it belongs.

“Samantha - Is amazing with my fur babies (2 dogs and a cat). We had her house sitting while we were out of town and she sent photos/videos abd kept our house clean. I am very picky about people who handle my fur babies and I recommend her for any of the rover services. She is very experienced with animal care.”

“Macy was a rockstar sitter, and as soon as we met her, we knew she’d be a great fit for our dogs. She asked great questions, connected with our guys, and we came home to happy pets and a settled house! Can’t recommend her enough, and would love to book her again! :)”

“Robin is amazing! She looked after my pups at my place for 4 days and sent me plenty of pictures and good communication. You could tell she loved my pups and they definitely loved her. Will definitely use her again!”

“Cassandra is absolutely amazing! We were nervous leaving our babies for a week and have someone stay at the house. Cassandra met all expectations and more! Extremely communicative, sends lots of photos and videos, treats your babies like her own, and makes you feel calm and peaceful while away. 1000% recommend Cassandra!”

Allie M.

“Ashanta was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures of Arthur and kept me informed of things at all times. I have a senior dog and worry a lot, but did not worry at all and was able to concentrate on my work. She is very responsible and conscientious too!”

About: Growing up with border collies, I’ve always been an active dog person. As an adult, I’ve owned an Aussie and a golden, so fetch and long walks are my speciality. Weekend and holidays work best for me. I work full time away from home during the week. I prefer to board dogs over the weekend or holiday to give your dog my fullest attention. I have a fenced in yard with a tall fence and a very friendly 1 year old golden retriever. I have no issues with dogs getting on the furniture and having full access of the house and yard.

About: I've been working with and studying animal behavior since I was 10 years old, and my passion for dogs has only grown stronger over the years. With over a decade of hands-on experience in training and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and how to effectively communicate with them. I currently work full-time for a mobile dog grooming company, where I handle dogs daily with patience, confidence, and care. Whether you're looking for someone to walk your dog, provide basic training, or help with behavior issues, you can trust that your furry friend is in experienced and loving hands. I also offer a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most needs with plenty of notice. Whether you're looking for dependable dog walking, basic obedience training, or help with behavior issues, I’m here to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. When in my care, you can rest easy knowing they’re in a secure, loving environment. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where they can play safely, and the property is equipped with cameras for added peace of mind. I’m committed to following any specific dietary needs or routines your dog may have, and I make sure they get their daily walks for both exercise and mental stimulation. If your pup needs regular brushing or combing, I’m happy to handle that too—keeping them clean, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.

“We can’t say enough great things about Barbara! She took amazing care of our seven-year-old Goldendoodle, Otto, for 10 days while we were away. From the start, she was professional, kind, and clearly has a true love for animals. She sent us tons of adorable photos and regular updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were gone. When we returned, our home was absolutely spotless—she went above and beyond in every way. Otto was so happy and well cared for, and we’re so grateful to have found someone as trustworthy and wonderful as Barbara. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Laura is a dream! From first contact through our entire house sit, she was always prompt with her responses and never left me hanging. She was great with my peculiar, needy Sphynx cats and not only followed our care instructions exactly, but went above and beyond for my two cats! They absolutely loved her from the first day, which is so rare. I got frequent updates multiple times a day and the best pictures and videos of them. She left our house extremely clean and we would be insane to not book her anytime she is available!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My first actual pet I got to call my own was a cockapoo puppy named Duke, he was my first lap dog too. However, don’t let my baby fool you I have also had hounds that screamed and ran across the yard and the house. I am experienced with cats and dogs with special needs to. My grandmothers and friends animals all have had dietary or medical needs that I never mind having to help take care of. My passion is loving animals and making sure they live a happy life. Trust that your fur baby will be in safe and caring hands. I am currently a Culinary Specialist that works in the Navy. Even though my schedule is a busy one I get a whole week every other week within the month of free time. It can get boring and lonely, so I have decided on my free time to give my services to those who might need someone to pop their head in or fully stay if needed. I have an apartment that is in a fenced in area of Newport News. It’s all military private housing so it has the safety that you would be looking for. However, if you have a big dog I would have to go and visit your home due to complications of navy housing.
