“Felicia took good care of my dog, made sure all the basics were covered and even did us a solid as we forgot something prior to going out of town. A solid, reliable choice for pet care.”

About: I have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, tortoises, frogs, hamsters, etc. I love all animals dearly and have experience with young pets as well as seniors! I'm currently working full-time so my availability is limited to hours outside of 9-5 on Mondays through Fridays and weekends, although I can provide walks at lunchtime. My availability tends to be quite open on weekends. I live in an apartment complex so I do not have a private fenced in yard, but there are plenty of parks and open spaces near my home in which I can provide plenty of walking and exercise space (on leash!)

About: I’ve taken care of multiple family friend’s pets, ranging for just larger dogs to multiple cats and smaller dogs. I’m able to take care of any needs with almost any animal. I’m currently working part time, along with attending school currently. My schedule varies with my job, my schedule for school is set mainly in mornings. I usually go through what the pet’s usual schedule is and ask for what the clients pet care preference. If they are any special needs.

“Alexis is super, super sweet and did such a good job taking care of our kitty while we were away! She was available for a super last minute booking and really went above and beyond with the time she spent and her ability to deal with the unforeseen challenges with our kitty’s feeder dying while we were away. She did an amazing job and we would absolutely book her again for future travel.”

“My dog has gained a new friend. Geneive was kind and loving towards Nola. Giving her treats, feeding, and daily walks, really keeps Nola happy and in her routine. From all the pics and chats, Nola seemed to feel like her sitter was a part of the family. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others. 🧡”

About: I grew up on a farm caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and have done various forms of professional pet-care over the years. I have a 8 y.o. dog of my own (Maverick) that I've had since he was 8 weeks old. He, unfortunately, has started to enjoy the presence of other dogs less in his older age, so I do not offer boarding or day care. However, I thoroughly enjoy walks (Mav gets at least 2 a day) and would love to take your pet on a walk or jog. I am also available for drop-ins or house sitting. I am currently working part-time and only nights/evenings. I am available during the weekdays: mornings and afternoons for your pet's needs. I look forward to caring for your pet. As I pet owner with my own idiosyncrasies about the care of my animal, I will follow whatever your instructions entail. Our dog can be reactive with other dogs, so I am well practiced at seeing and avoiding potential confrontations, if your dog is similar. I am unfortunately unable to provide care in my own home due to my dog's reactivity. However, I am excited to provide drop-in and walking services for your dog.

“Abby is incredible! I had to cancel last minute with another sitter due to bad vibes and she responded so quickly and with any/all information I could want or need! This was the first time leaving Riggins alone at home while on a quick vacation and during her check-ins with my cat she sent as many pictures as possible and kept me well informed! It put me at ease. She is just the sweetest! I will be using her services from now on!!”

“This is the second time we have booked Christa to watch our cat. She has been amazing! She took great care of our cat and he absolutely loves her. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in animal shelters, dog daycare centers, and boarding facilities. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. After recently losing my beloved dogs, I realized I wasn't quite ready for another long-term commitment, but I deeply missed having dogs around. Rover has given me the perfect opportunity to open my home and heart to dogs while helping other pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have two cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable sharing their space, as well as two young children who have been around dogs their entire lives and know how to interact respectfully with them. For the comfort and safety of every pet in my care, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention and create a calm, stress-free environment during their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. My mornings typically begin with feeding pets, potty breaks, walks, or playtime before my family's daily activities start. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I can accommodate additional potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In the evenings, pets are included in our family's relaxed routine, with more playtime, walks, and cuddles before bedtime. For boarding and daycare, dogs are rarely left unattended, and I only accept pets from one household at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Dogs have access to our large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and because I am home throughout the day, they receive consistent attention and companionship. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, which allows me to focus on their individual needs and maintain a low-stress environment. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention at their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having a quiet and reliable caretaker, I respect their personality and routine. I am also comfortable following special instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Zara definitely has a way with animals. My dog doesn’t like everyone and he warmed right up to her. I would highly recommend her and I hope she’ll be able to watch Petey many more times in the future.”

About: I always send pictures to update the owners, and let them know what we did that day or how the animal was that way they know everything is going smoothly. Just got home for the summer from college. I’m working part time tuesday-thursday 4pm-10pm but other than that i’m super flexible. I care for people’s pets as if they were my own, growing up with animals has made me love each and every animal I see out in public, I’m one of those people who will ALWAYS ask to pet your dog.

About: I've been caring for my dog since he was a puppy, and my family has always relied on me to walk, feed, and help train him. Ever since I was young, I've had a love for animals, especially dogs, and I enjoy spending time with them. I'm patient, responsible, and comfortable working with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. Building trust with pets comes naturally to me, and I strive to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. As a college student taking primarily online classes, I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your dog. Whether it's walks around the neighborhood, playtime, or lots of affection, I'm committed to keeping your furry friend active, happy, and loved. I always prioritize safety, follow pet parents' instructions carefully, and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: As a dedicated and experienced pet owner, I’ve had dogs from mixed breeds, silky terrier, to many others. With years of hands-on experience, I ensure that every pup in my care feels safe, loved, and entertained. I am well-versed in handling different needs. I’m fortunate to live near several scenic walking trails where your dog can enjoy the fresh air and get plenty of exercises. These trails offer a safe and stimulating environment, perfect for adventurous pups who love exploring nature. Please let me know if this is something you would like me to do with your pup. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority. I’m committed to providing personalized care that matches your pet’s routine and preferences. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll on a nearby trail or an energetic play session at the dog park, your dog will always have a great time with me! Although I work full-time, my schedule is pretty flexible with being able to take a lunch. This allows me to easily ensure your pet receives the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m available for early morning and evening walks, as well as midday check-ins, so your pet will never have to wait long for a potty break, a walk, or some playtime. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. With years of experience in pet care, I understand the importance of trust when it comes to caring for your furry family members. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for your pet, whether we’re exploring the nearby trails or relaxing at home. I used to have a dog but have decided right now I’m not ready to get my own pet again but would love the opportunity to help others out when they are out of town or unable to walk their pup.

About: I absolutely adore animals! I've lived with pets all my life and right now my two cats bring me endless joy. I love taking walks with my sister and her sweet pup, and I am ready and excited to walk with your furry friend! I'm flexible with my hours and am more than happy to take as long of a stroll as your dog wants. I've lived in Norfolk my whole life and I'm very familiar with all the best places for a great walk. I understand the value of hard work and I'm prepared to bring my work ethic to every job I am offered. I think pets make for the most wonderful friends in the world and I'm dedicated to provide the best and most reliable care to your pet!! I work as a teacher during the school year, so during the summer I am incredibly flexible. I have a lot of availability during the day and on most evenings as well. I am a responsible and reliable pet sitter. I make sure to take the time to get to know your pet and to make them as comfortable as possible. I am clean and punctual, and will always be sure that your pet is fed, played with, and happy!

About: I’ve raised and taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I volunteered at a shelter initially in the puppy and cat rooms doing general care. Eventually I moved to a farm where I took care of the pets there while also managing farm animals. When I moved out I ended up getting a dog and cat of my own and training pups specifically in both obedience and service dog training. I have continued to do this as my dog is a service dog in training and my cat is trained as a comfort animal for young kids with anxiety. I currently work full time so I would be best for early morning and afternoon and evening care. Weekends I am completely free unless otherwise stated, and I’ll know that at least a few days in advance. I have access to a large green space and a puppy park with my apartment. I also have a lovely, playful fully vaccinated puppy who is more than happy to meet new friends. I have access to a crate and a puppy play pen.

About: I’ve pet sat on and off for friends and family for years so I thought why not make a little bit of money from it I’m free pretty much any days throughout the week Monday through Sunday. I’m a college student and I’m off of college for break so I have nothing else taking up my time. Good at taking directions so whatever or however you need me to care for your pet I will do. There for the animals best interest!

“Kayla was great with my elderly Chihuahua! I received numerous updates about their walks and his eating. He received all of his medication and supplements and was very chipper upon returning.”
