“What an incredible family taking care of our new puppy called Ziggy. We live abroad and needed a sitter until we could take him over full time. They were so easy to communicate with and so helpful with everything from change of food, treats, to teaching him demands and keeping him safe. He has been playing non stop with their house dog as well as with other dogs they have sat through the more than one month they took care of Ziggy. I can’t be thankful enough. Your dog will be safe with this family, I can assure you this! Thank you Maria & Matthew 🙏🏻”


“Matthew was very responsive and helpful as I needed someone to take care of my dog last minute. I would recommend him to anyone in the area as he was very helpful and attentive to my dog.”


“Great communicator, friendly, and well versed with dogs. Nancy is who you go to when you want someone who is passionate about caring for your babies :)”


“Amazing from beginning to end. Prompt communication and updates. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs for a long weekend while I was out of town and made sure he was comfortable. I would definitely book with Michelle again!”


“Lilly was wonderful with our pup Buttons. She and her family doted on Buttons. She listened to all her special needs and behavior, then made the adjustments for her stay.”


“Gail was such a blessing to us for watching Maverick. Her communication was some of the best we've seen on Rover. She sent us pictures and updates daily. Even a goodnight picture of our pup! Will rebook for sure without question.”


“Sierra was great and if needed I will be booking her again! She was able to watch my fur baby last minute and kept me updated throughout the day! My baby also warmed up to her really quickly which was really refreshing since he typically takes a minute!”


“Shay takes really good care of my dog. Once during a stay with Shay, my dog was eating too fast that he would throw up sometimes. Shay went out of her way and bought a slow feeder for my dog to make him eat slower so that he would not throw up or fall sick because of this. That's a very personalized care for my puppy according to me.”


About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 9years old. I've grown up around them and have helped train and care for them. From young energetic pup to older relaxed senior dogs. I'm currently not working so I have all the time in the world for your pets. I can board during the week and on weekends. When you need me, I'll be there! I have a big home with extra bedrooms, a fenced in backyard and no pets. I can offer crating if needed. Your pup will be sure to get all the love and attention.

“I HIGHLY recommend Brittney. I relocated to Virginia from Charlotte North Carolina. She had my dog for 3 weeks while I waited to move into my apartment. My dog was very comfortable with her. Brittney communicated often, sent me pictures and allowed me to stop by and visit Mona. It was really hard being away from my dog. When I left after the visit, Mona remained very calm, she didn't whine or nothing. I knew then, that Mona was comfortable. So I will absolutely use her again if needed.”


“Lee Ann was a fantastic sitter! She watched both of our dogs, both older and 50+ lbs, for two overnight stays. She kept in touch throughout their stay with texts and photos, and she was flexible with our drop-off/pickup times. We felt relaxed and safe with the pups in her care. Highly recommend Lee Ann!”


“Rebecca was great! She was available last minute, and provided updates and pictures for even just one night. Would definitely recommend and would book again myself!”


“Marie was everything we could ask for! She communicated with us daily. She sent photos of our puppy playing and that made all the difference. Her back yard was big enough for our GSP to run around and enjoy herself all day. Thank you so much Marie!”


“Anna was great and took great care of jasper! We were traveling in Europe so it was difficult to schedule a couple things but Anna went above and beyond in taking care of jasper, including picking him up and dropping him off at the last minute. We would highly recommend and will definitely board with her again in the future!”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Jillian was incredibly kind, attentive, and took amazing care of my dog while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell they had a natural bond with animals. She provided regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. I highly recommend Jillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable dog sitter!”


“Jessica was absolutely amazing with Dudley. He was happy and playful during his stay and I really appreciated the care Jessica gave him. I will booking with Jessica again!”


“Jaime was absolutely wonderful and Darla enjoyed her stay very much! She was very flexible and sent picture updates while taking great care of our little girl. Will be rebooking in the future!”


“Martina is always such a very big help when I need fur baby assistance! She is very good at communicating with me to set up service and does a great job of keeping me informed of his activities during her visit! Great service and and even better service provider! Book today!”


“Cassidy was very responsive and accommodating on short notice. Our dog enjoyed a night with her and she made it super easy to use boarding services. Thanks, Cassidy!”


About: I’ve grown up with both a dog and a cat for most of my childhood, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I’ve learned how to understand and respond to their needs with patience and love. That lifelong experience has given me a deep appreciation for pets and the joy they bring to our lives. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I go to work at 5 but only work about 4 hours. My main focus is to make sure your pet is well fed and comfortable. I will also take time to bond and play with them so they can feel safe.

Norfolk pet parents share their Rover experiences
My dog Luna immediately thought Lily was her bff when they met. She took such good care of our furbaby & even was great at giving last minute medications that Luna needed. Lots of great pictures & fantastic communication. I will definitely be using Lily again next time im out of town.

Brittany was truly outstanding with our sweet Max—especially given her anxiety. She took the time to get to know Max’s personality, making her feel loved and secure from day one. Each day was full of fun, with dog‑park visits, afternoon walks, and treats that Max absolutely adored! Brittany handled potty training with patience and kindness, always encouraging Max at her own pace. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and delivered plenty of adorable photos and videos that helped calm our minds. Brittany’s warmth and care made all the difference. Thank you!

Nova had a Wonderful Stay. Araminta was a Great Sitter and A Dog’s Best Friend. Araminta is friendly, shows great attention to the dogs in her care, and does all she can to provide a happy, fun caring experience for our Nova. Araminta communicates well and sends lots of updates.

My experience with Tanaya was very pleasant. She gave updates along the way and showed concern regarding my pup’s care by asking questions. My pup seemed to have a great time with her as well. I highly recommend this sitter

I will definately use her again if she will have him. Oliver seemed well cared for. It is always difficult leaving him with a new sitter but she put my mind at ease.

I definitely recommend Sean! He has watched my boy two separate times and I knew he was in great hands on both occasions. Very communicative and takes great care of the animals in his home! Thanks Sean!

Ryleigh had a great time. Her Fitbit said she was very very active. Good communication. Ryleigh was extremely tired when she was picked up. Great family and yard. Friendly.

Aramae and her family took good care of my boy while we away. This was his first time being away from us and they did a great job with him.

Ellen was fantastic! She communicated daily with pictures! We will definitely book with Ellen again!

Needed my cat boarded in a pinch, Jacqueline responded fast and took excellent care of my Gigi! I would definitely recommend and come back in the future. Thank you again for your kindness and care for the kittys!

MarkQueeta was amazing! She was super prepared (even to help me unload and bring my kitty supplies in for boarding) and has plenty of experience with cats, which made me feel super comfortable leaving my kitty with her. She was very kind and even offered to let my cat stay an extra day for free when I had last-minute changes in my plans and had to figure new plans out! I would definitely bring my kitty back again in the future!

Was very accommodating on very short notice!!! They clearly knew what they were doing and I know my baby was in great hands.

My pup had the time of his life!! Genevie made my vacay so much more relaxing by knowing that my pup was being loved and cared for the same as I do at home. She provided many updates which put my mind at ease and really gave top notch service. I will certainly be using her again.

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Our dog had such a great time, and it was so heartwarming to see how well she got along with your dog. I really appreciated the daily photos and videos — they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I was able to truly enjoy my trip knowing she was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with you again next time. Thank you so much!

Aaron and his family watched my dog, Matilda, for a few days / nights and I couldn't be more grateful for the care and compassion she received from them. Aaron sent me multiple videos from their walks and even a photo that was 10x better than any of the thousands of photos that I've taken of Matilda. I highly recommend Aaron for all your future dog walkings and/or boardings, your dog will definitely enjoy his or stay!

We were so lucky to have found Priya to watch Stella recently. She sent multiple updates and photos which made us feel at ease. We will definitely schedule more time with Priya in the future. Thank you so much for your excellent care of watching Stella!

Elexus was great with communicating and ensuring my boys were safe, happy and stayed tired, lol. She sent photos often and let me know how they were doing each day. She listened attentively to all my information about their personalities and even went the extra mile to wash their sweaters to make sure they went home with clean "clothes" to keep them cozy for the snowstorm. I definitely recommend her.

Heather could not have provided a better first experience with Rover! She sent many updates and pics, and treated my dog just like a part of her own family! He was so well taken care of and loved during his stay!
