Jasmine took great care of my fur babies and did a wonderful job keeping me informed on everything that happened alone with plenty of pictures. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.

About: I used to have another rover account and dog watching was my full time job for about 3 years. I quit for a little bit but now I am a stay at home mom and have a 4 1/2 year old golden who loves everyone and just wants some friends to play with. I am a stay at home mom and have a dog of my own so adding a few more never hurts. My golden daisy is my child she is so spoiled and if you trust me with your dog they will be too. She is full of energy and loves all dogs and people haha. She does not know what stranger danger is. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I am also able to split up my house to have dogs in separate areas when they need a break from each other. This will be my full time job aside from being a mom so I am always home.

Fabulous! She was so understanding of our labradoodle who has a licker problem and so patient with our shih tzu who is scared of strangers. She has tons of energy and my pups were very happy.

Sayaka was great with my dogs. She communicated well and helped me feel ease while being away from my dogs. My instructions were followed exactly as I asked. You won’t be disappointed if you book her. She’s great with pets.

Such an amazing sitter for our cat. Sent lots of photos and even helped us with our heater going out and making sure the cat wasn’t too cold while she did all she could to get it back on. 10/10 definitely recommend! You will never have to worry with Michelle taking care of your fur babies.

I cannot say enough about Dawn. She is very kind. I have an active Australian shepherd/ lab mix and needed some help for several days while dealing with family issue out of home. Dawn took to Penny super quick and I loved the visit summary and pics. I am sure Penny misses her already but I will definitely contact her again when needed. 5+ stars!!

Tawny was great! I have a senior dog with special needs on multiple medications, and he had just had surgery. She listened attentively as I was going over his medical needs and care. During his visits she sent me updates and lots of pictures. Everything was taken care of for him exactly as he needed.

About: Hello everyone! I'm a reliable pet sitter with extensive experience. Before joining Rover, I cared for numerous pets through walking, feeding, bathing, and pet sitting. As a lifelong animal lover, I grew up with pets and have personally cared for my own fur babies for 14 years. I adore animals of all sizes. Notably, I have specialized knowledge in caring for cats with asthma, as one of my own cats has this condition. To me, pets are part of the family, and their care is of utmost importance. I'd love to help care for your pets too! ♥️ As a business owner with a flexible schedule, I'm uniquely positioned to provide top-notch pet care tailored to your needs. With my adaptable availability, you can rest assured that your furry family will receive the attention and love they deserve. But what truly sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals. As an animal lover, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and compassion in pet care. You can trust that your beloved pets will be treated with kindness, respect, and the highest level of care. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priority. I'm passionate about providing top-notch care, going above and beyond to ensure your pet feels loved, secure, and content while in my care.

About: I have taken care of huskies and neighbors dogs when I was younger and in my parents house. Now that I have my own home and backyard, I want to continue taking care of dogs, even if it's just for a couple of days! I have been a dog walker for several people around the Newport News area. I'm totally dedicated on the weekends! Available all day long! Monday through Friday, I work full time, working from 8-3:30. I'm available after 3:30 to pet sit, walk dogs, or take care of your pet. I have a fenced yard and a loving little white dog that can be your dogs companion during their stay! During the weekend, I am completely dedicated to pet sitting!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and love caring for pets of all kinds! I’ve helped care for stray cats and dogs growing up, have pet sitting experience, and I’m currently a cat mom myself. I’ll always make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away :) I work full-time, but I’m available after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I enjoy using my free time to care for pets, go on walks, and give them attention while owners are away. I live in an apartment with my own furbaby and I’m willing to go sit at your place or check in on the animals when needed.
