“Amanda is exactly what I was looking for! She's lovely and she was wonderful with my cat. She stopped by for a meet and greet, took great care of him while I was away, sent photos of his replenished dishes, and played with him which is what he really needed after being alone. I couldn't have been more happy and more comfortable with her being in our home and watching our little buddy.”


“Casey was very thorough and thoughtful caring for my three dogs. I have one dog who is a senior and another who has heart issues. Casey confirmed their medications were administered at each visit. She let me know they were eating and drinking, and included any points that might be of concern. She included lots of pictures too. She also planned her time each visit to make sure they had some time to wind down and have a drink inside after play time outside. Her clear notes showed how attentive she was to them and gave me a lot of peace mind.”

“Highly recommend! At the meet and greet she was so easy to talk to and our dog Luna loved her! While we were away I didnt worry if callie and luna were taken care of, she sent pictures of them getting all the love and attention. I think our house was cleaner than when we left too, 10/10 will be using every time we go out of town!”

“Samuel is great with my furbabies! He responds promptly to requests, arrives on time, and keeps me updated. I've used his services several times and will keep using him for house sitting and drop-in visits.”

About: I have experience with taking care of older dogs, puppies, kittens and adult cats. I love all breeds! I ensure a safe and lovable environment for your pet. They deserve the love and treatment they get from home from me while their owners are away. I enjoy outdoor time with animals such as walking or simply playing around with them. I am currently a full time student, currently on Summer break. I am currently flexible until school starts in August. Updated schedule will be listed then. My apartment is quiet with open space for my pets to roam. I keep blinds open for my cats to observe the outdoor while also enjoying some relaxing sunbathing.
“Erin was so wonderful with our 2 dogs while we were away for a 12 day trip! Always left a nice note about the visit and sweet pictures. We will definitely use her again!”

“Renee is so amazing with our wild wolf pack! We always look forward to her coming to hang out with our dogs when we head out of town or need to leave the house for an all day long event. She keeps us informed of how our dogs are doing, sends photos, and follows up with a message. We are so lucky to have found her and she is always our first choice when it comes to someone taking care is our dogs.”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. As soon as I was capable of walking, I was helping care for our family pets. The majority of my life was spent in a household with three dogs (and two cats!) at any given time. We have had multiple Labradors, a German Shepherd, a Newfoundland, a St. Bernard/Collie mix, and a Greyhound mix. I am very comfortable around large-sized dogs! I have also house-sat for friends and neighbors many times over the years, so I am quite familiar with the understanding and respect required when not only looking after a beloved pet, but the home as well. I can also tend to cats as well, emptying litter boxes and checking on food and water, or just providing a good cuddle if necessary. I'm currently working part-time, so have plenty of time for taking your pup on a walk or dropping in to check on your pet during the day, Wed-Fri and most Saturdays. I cannot board dogs in my own home, but if you require drop-in visits or overnight stays, I treat everyone's home with respect, taking care to follow any and all house rules as discussed.
“Ali was very kind to our pets and treated them like family. She was also very communicative about what was going on with the pets and went above and beyond for them. We will be reaching out to her again when we are in need of pet sitting.”

“Kaylee was the best sitter I could ask for. I'm very hesitant to let anyone watch my fur babies, but she put all my worries at ease. She did absolutely everything I asked and more. She will always be my go-to sitter now. I couldn't recommend her enough. She went out of her way to make me feel at ease and to reassure me that my babies were in good hands. Thank you Kaylie!”

“Tiffany did a great job with my two dogs even though one is very nervous with strangers. She made my first time using Rover easy and stress-free with her updates. Will definitely use again in the future.”

“We love having Damian sit our cat! He’s detailed in his visit notes, kind, and friendly. He makes us feel assured she’s in good hands. She likes when he comes to visit and she’s always in good health and happy when we come back. Definitely recommend Damian’s services!”

“Tabitha is amazing! She is consistent and dependable! She communicates clearly and is genuinely interested in my pup, his needs and any changes in his routine. I would highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for a caretaker who puts in 110% every visit!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up with three big dogs, so I’m very comfortable with pups of all sizes. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company with cuddles, I’m all in. I also have a cat of my own, so I totally understand the unique personalities, moods, and little quirks they come with. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and treat every pet like they’re my own. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets, and I take that trust seriously. I’m reliable, patient, and love creating a safe, happy environment where your pet feels comfortable and loved. I am currently not working, and have lots of free time to fit majority of schedules! M-Sat I am available for scheduling with guaranteed availability in the mornings and afternoons. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, such as feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets feel secure by keeping their routine consistent and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. For dog walks, I tailor walks to your dog’s energy level and needs. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and stress-free, and for you to feel 100% confident they’re in loving, reliable hands!

I recently moved to Virginia Beach and had to go out of town unexpectedly for a family emergency and needed a cat sitter for a weekend. Rhiannon responded right away and set up a meet and greet, and I was impressed with her overall professionalism and reliability. My cat warmed up to her too!

Tayauna provided extraordinary services when caring for my cat, Lily Rose, while I was away on a trip. As many of us understand, it is not easy to be away from our beloved pets. Taya helped give me peace of mind through the daily updates and photos. She went above and beyond to provide the best care for Lily, and she blessed my heart as well. When returning, Lily was so happy and I believe the quality of attention and care that was given to her made all the difference. Thank you so much Taya! Lily is looking forward to spending time with again in the future, and I am beyond grateful to have a cat sitter who I can trust to do an excellent job. God bless you!

The absolute best pet sitter! She watched my cats. She was the most caring sitter we’ve had. She was cleanly all while being so nurturing towards my kitties. She even went above and beyond making sure they had everything. We had to extend our trip due to unforeseen circumstances, she was flexible and willing to accommodate the extra days. I can’t recommend her enough!! We love love love Ali!!

Mackenzie is so amazing, and I can not say enough how happy I am that I found her! She took care of my dogs so well, dropping in at exactly the right times, taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving them the attention they needed while we were away! She also sent plenty of cute photos of my dogs and what they were doing through the weekend! Trustworthy, kind, sweet, and punctual, and I can't recommend her enough! A million thanks to Mackenzie!

Talia and Sada took excellent care of my dog, Ruby! They treated her like their own and kept me updated with regular photos and messages. Ruby was clearly well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. I highly recommend Talia and Sada to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters!
Very thankful to Tracey for accepting my last minute holiday booking! We worked through a few Rover bumps together, as we are both newer to the scene, but all in all very comfortable and happy with the care she provided my kitties. Would definitely use her again!

Renee is hands down the BEST dog walker and sitter! We’ve trusted her with our pup for over two years and couldn’t be happier. Recently, when our dog wasn’t feeling well, Renee immediately noticed something was off, reached out to us, and took the time to ask questions and offer support. She truly has a heart of gold, and I always feel completely at ease leaving our dog in her care.
