Dog Sitting Norfolk

About: I have had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits…I love animals of all kinds. My mom became paralyzed and I walked and took care of her 2 senior dogs for about 8 years until they passed. I gave them oral medication, cooked their food, walked and groomed them. Then she adopted a puppy and I took care of him as well as trained him. I currently have 2 french bulldogs of my own. One is a hyper little puppy and the other is a calmer 5 year old. I love caring for pets whether they are my own or someone else’s. I currently work part time in home care until 2pm 4 days a week. I am available most afternoons. My schedule changes if a client is in the hospital and does not need care those days which gives me the flexibility to pick up more last minute walks or check ins. I have children so I cannot work all weekend but i can be flexible and am open to them. I am open to walking your dogs in your neighborhood or wherever you prefer. I am also open to check ins and feeding dogs or cats. I will do my best to keep your routine with them if that is what you prefer. I would like to know a little bit about them beforehand and any preferences or habits they have.

“Maddie did a great job taking good care of Luke on her visits. Would highly recommend her!”

“Thanks again Kimberly for your great care and attention to our special cat situation. We always feel comfortable that the kitties are well attended to. Thanks for all of your great photos and reports!”

“Alli was incredible! She took such great care of our baby while we were gone. It’s always tough to leave your dog behind when traveling, but she made it easier with constant check ins and pictures to show us how our baby was doing!!! We’ll be reaching out to her again :))”

About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or loving care while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and any special needs. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for you and your dog. I'm recently retired and love to stay active. My family and I recently lost our dog after 12 years and are looking to fill the void she left. I will treat your dog like my own and will prioritize their safety and happiness. We have a very large fenced in yard for your furry friend to play in. I am new to in-home pet care but have had pets my entire life. I am very reliable and a strong believer in communication and timeliness. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet and greet! I am recently retired and am looking to fill a void in my life since the passing of my dog Pepper. I look forward to getting to know you and your dog(s) and will give them the same love and care that I've given to all of my past pets. I have a large fenced yard as well as well as a handful of hiking trails near my home. I look forward to making your dog feel comfortable with me and my family.

“Paige was great and the dogs seemed to really like their “play date” with her. Paige sent a detailed report that made us feel at ease. We definitely hope to have Oaige drop in for another visit soon.”

“Layal is the dream cat sitter! She watched my cat Lila while I was out of the country for the week and she sent updates every time she stopped by with pictures and videos so I knew that Lila was doing great while I was away. As someone that was nervous about leaving my cat for so long for the first time, having Layal there made it possible to enjoy my trip knowing that Lila was being taken care of. Thank you Layal!!!”

Paige W.

“Haylie was communicative and went above and beyond during the drop in visits.”

Gina A.

“Isabela is just fantastic, I can't recommend her enough. She's attentive, responsive, and I know when I'm away my cat is in good hands with her.”

Ryan S.

“Brianna was absolutely perfect in every way :-) She kept our dogs fed, walked & happy while we were away, without us having to worry whether they'd be OK. She was bright, friendly, attentive, and just great with the dogs. I don't know what we would have done without her. We recommend her highly!”

Kristen W.

“Our travel schedule went a little haywire during this booking and Stephanie smoothly accomodated, taking a lot of stress out of the situation. Again, the pet care was outstanding. Would highly recommend Stephanie!”

Laura S.

“Needed someone to play ball with my dogs while I was out of town and my wife was home recovering from surgery. Peggy was accommodating and reliable. She helped tire out the pups so my wife could continue to heal. Would definitely use again!”

About: I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals, from growing up training Golden Retrievers to the many years I spent with my Lhasa Apso, Cooper, and my two beloved cats. My home is a bit too quiet since they passed, and I’m eager to share that "family-first" devotion with your pets. I’m new to the app, but a veteran with animals! My Commitment to You: • Full-Time Attention: I work independently and am home the majority of the day. Your pet will be my primary focus and never left alone for more than an hour or two. • Versatile Experience: Whether it’s the high energy of a large breed or the specialized needs of a small senior, I’ve handled it all with patience and care. • The "Spoiled" Treatment: Since I’m just starting on Rover, I’m only taking limited guests. This means your pet gets 1-on-1 attention and a schedule tailored entirely to them. Services I Provide: • 🏡 Boarding: A cozy townhouse with carpeted stairs (great for traction!) in a very walkable community. Multiple daily strolls are a guarantee. • 🐾 Walks & Drop-ins: Punctual and reliable. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and am happy to follow your specific training or house rules. • 🐱 Cat Care: As a former cat mom, I specialize in visits that prioritize real companionship and play, not just a food-bowl refill. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and treat them like a member of my own family! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work independently and am home the majority of the day, stepping out for no more than an hour or two at a time. Your pet will never be left alone for long, and I treat every animal in my care as my own. My home is a townhouse with carpeted stairs and plenty of cozy space for pets to roam. Both cats and dogs are welcome throughout. I live in a very dog friendly community, so walks happen multiple times a day based on your pet’s needs and energy level. Your pet will be comfortable, well cared for, and never an afterthought.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“Payton is honestly one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever came across. I am so happy and grateful that I found someone as trusting, kind, caring, and very loving towards my animals. I have one dog that is very anxious and scared of people, as well as other dogs. He warmed up to her right away and seemed so calm and happy when we golt home. Paton definitely is a gem she kept in contact with me sending me pictures and letting me know how the dogs were doing. She is so attentive, came on time and always kept me informed. She is lovely with animals and we are looking forward to her sitting for us in July. Thank you for treating my anxious dog with such care and love. I also appreciate her going out of her way and putting out packages inside when it was raining outside.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, starting with my own family dog, whom I helped raise from a puppy through every stage of life. I was involved in daily walks, feeding, basic training, grooming, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention- he became my best friend. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve completed overnight dog sitting for two different families, staying for a full week while they were away. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, refilling water, letting the dogs out for bathroom breaks, maintaining their routines, providing companionship, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable while their owners were gone. I recently graduated college, so as I am making my transition at home from schooling to career, I have free time on my hands to help out! I am active, I go on long daily walks anyways, and can fit them into my schedule of kickboxing, career searching, babysitting etc. In the pups environment at home, I be sure to play with them inside and outside, take them on walks and make sure they are fed!

About: Hello! Welcome to my profile, my name is Fatima. My family and I are huge pet lovers. We currently don’t have any of our own so taking care of yours will make our hearts full! I was personally a fur mom for 13 years, & when my pups went to doggie heaven I have loved helping family members and friends care for their fur babies. I’d be so grateful to care for yours. I’m currently a stay at home mom and we would enjoy the wagging tails throughout our days! Our days consist of indoor and plenty of outdoor time. I have two littles that nap in the mid day so that’ll definitely be time for one on one cuddles indoor with your fur baby. We live on private property and have a big yard. I am flexible with whatever your needs are for your fur baby, just let me know :)

“Isabel’s first visit with Oliver and Nami went very well. My younger dog, Nami, is skittish with new people. Judging by the nine photos Isabel sent, it didn’t take long for Nami to warm up to Isabel, and of course Oliver was all in from the start. Isabel has such a warm and friendly personality. I can’t imagine any dog not enjoying Isabel’s attention. I’ll be calling on Isabel again.”

About: Hello! My name is Bailey and I am passionate about providing pet care and walking services! I have 6 years of experience pet sitting, walking, and overnights! I started in the pet care industry in high school where I volunteered at Baypath Humane society. That brought on several dog walking and pet sitting/daycare jobs along the years! I took a little break from working under someone for a bit, and now am deciding to pursue my own business and gain some clientele here on Rover first. I will treat your fur babies the way I treat mine! That is so important to me. I also am planning to get Re-certified in pet CPR and Hemlich soon. I have been certified previously. I always have a pet first aid kit on hand. Experienced care of cats, dogs, and rabbits and small animals. I’ve also been able to administer basic oral medications, eye drops and insulin shots in the past for my doggy clients. It truly is a passion for me to care for your pets and i’d only want the best for every animal i come in contact with. I really hope to see your pet soon for whatever their needs may be!
