“She was just wonderful with my stinkbug. He can be a bit difficult and need a little extra attention but she had me worry free the whole time. Would definitely book with her again! She is just so sweet and caring and sent plenty of updates!”
“Meghan was amazing! She sent a ton of pics and videos and really eased our mind with leaving our baby behind for the first time. Her and her family really went out of their way to make our furbaby feel at home. Meghan is kind and professional. You won’t find a better person to take care of your precious pup. She will absolutely be our go to in the future! Thanks again Meghan, so glad we found you!!”
“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.”
“Brandy is awesome. My dogs loved staying with her and her family. She sent lots of update pictures and videos of my boys while we were gone. It was like they were on a vacation, too. I 100% would recommend her to anyone that needed to board their dogs.”
“Serena is the sweetest sitter ever! Beans enjoys being with her probably more than she enjoys being at home! I cannot recommend her enough for your pet sitting needs.”
“Lisa did an absolutely fantastic job with Percie. She was prompt with contact and kept me up to date daily with pictures included! I would recommend her to anyone with puppy sitting needs!!”
“Jessica took such good care of our old girl. This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous. She sent photos and updates on her day. We will definitely use her again!”
“Angela is the absolute best. She provided the best care and treated my dog like a king. My high energy dog came back so well behaved and incredibly well groomed, she treated him to spa days, made him amazing homemade health treats, stuck to his routine and provided me so many updates and pictures I was never left questioning his wellbeing. I almost don’t want to leave this review so I don’t have to fight for her care in the future. But she is honestly the best care giver. I don’t want anyone else watching my dog but angela at this point. 100/10. Thank you angela ❤️❤️”
“As usual, Xena had a Wonderful time! She was happy when we picked her up…and was pooped when she got home. Thank you for being a safe place for us to leave Xena & for the pics everytime!”
“Oh my gosh! My boy Neeko had THE BEST time!!!! Cristen was great at sharing photos and videos during his 2 night weekend visit. Her communication is so good. Micheal playing out in the yard with him throwing the ball. The whole family gave Neeko lots of love as if he were their own. Once I picked Neeko up and got him home, he slept the rest of the day. He was completely worn out!! If he were a kid, I think he would be talking about his sleepover for days!!! Lol. I could not have found a more perfect family to love my baby. 🥰”
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.
“Our two dogs are rescue dogs who are usually timid around new people, and are anxious even around our friends/family who they have frequent contact with. So we were nervous about leaving them with strangers for four days, but Lisa and her family did great with them. She sent updates while we were gone, and pictures, and I was blown away to see photos of them both sitting on her husband's lap snuggling! Clearly they are patient, experienced, and understanding. Also our interactions with her before we left were very helpful...she asked good questions, was very reassuring, and was willing to be flexible in order to meet the dogs' needs. It was a relief to not have to worry about them while we were gone!”
“Aurelie and her family went above and beyond caring for our dog. They are clearly dedicated as a whole family and I have no doubt my dog had a fun, active and loving stay. Will definitely be booking again!”
“I found Elisabeth at the last minute, and she was fantastic with my dog. She lives on base, which was convenient for us and sent photos of Tank throughout his stay. I’ll definitely use her services again if I need a dog sitter in the future. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport News
Richard was very good with my dog. He took her on multiple long walks and gave her a super comfortable place to sleep. He was very attentive to her needs and my anxious dog felt so at home with him. Great experience for my dog and wonderful peace of mind to know my girl was in good hands.
Erica was outstanding, flexible, understanding and wonderful to our dog Nigel. She truly went out of the way to make sure we had updates and videos of Nigel during our trip. She Finding her has been a blessing, and I am so glad that we did. Your fur babies will be in amazing hands with Erica, and we will definitely book her again.

There are 1,070 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newport News. About 95% of Newport News sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
