“Marie was such a wonderful and caring with our dog Chito. She was very professional and updated us with pictures and messages of his activities. Our dog really enjoyed staying there from the looks of the pictures. From the moment he met Marie, he just took off without a complaint and was very excited to meet her. I would 10000% recommend her to take care of your dogs and I would rebook her again. Thank you Marie! ❤️”
“Gail was AWESOME! Our Kobe is always skittish when meeting new people but she got him to calm down right away. She is a STAR SITTER for a reason! Highly recommended and we will rebook for sure! Thank you Gail!”
“Beverly was great with my baby while I was away for a week. Received many pictures and videos everyday and bathed her so she could come home clean 😁!”
“Melissa and Jeremy are pet sitters extraordinaire! We have an elderly dog who has lots of quirks and needed extra help with exercise and diet. Melissa really paid attention to both our dog’s needs and our anxiety over leaving her with them. We got constant feedback, updates, pictures and short videos keeping us updated. Was very supportive and even gave us a workable suggestion for getting our Princess to take her meds. I wish I could give them 10 stars!”
“Amy was great with my pup!! She sent lots of updates and pictures which is something I really like seeing while I’m gone. Ducky came back a happy girl and I could tell she was well cared for!”
“Ashley and Chris took amazing care of my boy while I was on a trip and I am so appreciative! Would 150% recommend them for caring for your furry friend. Not a single bad thing to say, just thanks!”
“Priscilla is great! My senior boys were happy and enjoyed hanging out in her yard. I was glad she accommodated their senior needs and she was very communicative. She updated me with pictures and it helped to know my pups were well taken care of while out of country. Would definitely recommend boarding your pet with Priscilla!”
“Leesa was wonderful with my pups, we got pics and updates for their weekend stay. I will definitely book Leesa again and recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and fun place for their pups.”
“Nancy was simply wonderful! Her home is perfect for dogs, with a “they can sleep anywhere” policy suitable for any couch potato like ours! She has her own well behaved dogs who were friendly and very undisturbed by the arrival of our guy. He was happy as a clam with her and I am rebooking him immediately for our next trip.”
“Nicholas was an absolute blessing! He accepted watching Buffy on very short notice and went above and beyond from start to finish. He made sure Buffy was well cared for by taking her on walks, giving her plenty of attention, and keeping us updated with constant texts, photos, and videos. He even put an AirTag on Buffy while we were away, which gave us even more peace of mind. This was our first time using the app, and Nicholas exceeded every expectation. We never had to worry about Buffy for a second because we knew she was in great hands. Thank you for everything, Nicholas! If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. We will definitely book with you again!”
“I contacted Daisy LATE for the possible care of my Dog as a previous Sitter was not a good fit...we had a Meet/Greet on same day I contacted her which went well!! and she agreed to watch him for the weekend! She sent pictures plus she has an older dog who is chill like mine and they got along fine!! Her and her husband, Walter really cool people who care about and for your pet. very clean house, plenty of fenced in yard for my dog to 'explore'. I highly recommend Daisy, husband Walter and their 'boy' Teddy!!!!”
“Kobie is friendly, responseable and has a great personality. We knew Kobie was the right one because he developed a great connection with our babygirl right off the bat on the meet and great day. If you ever need to get a sitter for your 4 legget child; he's your guy. This was our first time with using a pet sitter and definitely won't be the last.”
“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!”
“My shy girl was well cared during her stay. I am so grateful to have found such a warm and loving home for my Wednesday while i’m away. As a nurse who works all the time—I have mom guilt, but received updates and pics, which help me feel less guilty. Highly recommend!!”
“This was our second time having Cassie and Tradd watch our dog while we were in vacation and we can’t recommend them enough! He ran right in, so excited to be there, and we always appreciate all the updates they send. Definitely the best home away from home for our fur child ❤️”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I got my first pet when I was just two years old! I’ve grown up loving and caring for animals, and that love actually inspired me to begin college with plans to become a veterinarian. While in college, I also had the opportunity to intern at a veterinary hospital for a school year, where I gained additional exposure to the care and handling of animals. Although my career ultimately took me in a different direction, my love for animals never went away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I am patient, attentive, dependable, and will treat every pet in my care with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and am excited to make part of my regular routine. I am available for scheduled walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and will keep my availability up to date so pet parents can easily find times that work for both of us. I am committed to being dependable and providing consistent, attentive care for every pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions provided by each pet parent, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special care needs. I will make sure pets are secure before entering or leaving the home, remain attentive during walks and visits, and provide plenty of care and affection. I will also keep pet parents updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pet is safe and well cared for.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Norfolk is $40

I booked Sophie to board my dad’s cat for a day in her home and she was wonderful to work with. She was quick to respond, reached out to my dad directly (I’m in another state) and gave him reassurance before and during the stay, and she really gave him peace of mind overall. We were worried about how the cat would react and she seemed to also have a wonderful time with Sophie!
We truly appreciated Michelle taking very good care of our Indie girl. Michelle knew we were anxious leaving our pup for overnight stays, but she did a great job keeping us posted with pictures and activity updates. We will reach out again to book Camp Chelley in the future! Thanks again, Michelle!
I’m so grateful that he was able to watch my dog on short notice! He was incredibly accommodating and made the whole process so easy. He is also a great communicator and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate his flexibility, reliability, and care. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter!
Blaine was very responsive when I scheduled. We met and he was very personable and easy with the dog. we took him to his home as we felt comfortable with him. His house is quiet and calm which we really appreciated. Blaine was very loving with our dog He sent us one picture when he calmed down. we were not interrupted on vacation, but he did response promptly to my text. I will absolutely allow him to sit for us again. Our dog has definitely decided he likes Blaine and bonded.
Once again I had Madison watch my dog Cooper. She is absolutely fantastic with him and takes great care of him. Not even joking when I went to drop them off he took off down the street and ran right to her door. He was so excited. I know it's hard to find a good dog sitter but Madison is one of the best I have ever had.
I highly recommend this dog sitter! He took excellent care of my dog and treated them like family. I received updates, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for while I was away. He was reliable, caring, and professional. I will definitely use his services again and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.
Jaycee was great! As he took great care of my 8 yr. old pup. At the last minute, I needed a sitter and she responded quickly. She was strategic in introducing my pup to hers. She cared for her like her own, provided updates and photos. You can tell she's a true pet lover. I recommend Jaycee for your pup.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
