“Wonderful, wonderful caretaker of my most precious furbabies! Thanks so much for your flexibility during my hectic work travels!! It's good to know they are in safe and loving hands<3”

“Turbo absolutely loves Amanda and Scott! However, I think he loves his buddy Walter the most !! Absolutely best sitters ever. We never worry when we drop Turbo off bc we know he’s getting all the care and love! Highly recommend:)”

“Allie is very calm and happy. Just what I want when she comes home. She was treated so very well. Would definitely trust Bryan and his family and use their services again in the future”

“Robin is Absolutely amazing!! Sweet and loving to me and to my baby Teddy! She kept checking in and letting me know how he was doing. I felt like I made a friend in her. I highly recommend her and will use her again and again! I've already referred her to my friend!”

“We are very satisfied with the service that Teona and Louelyn provided. I know it is not easy for providers to care for a pet with special needs but because of the quality of care you showed Georgie, I had peace of mind all throughout Georgie’s stay with you. Thank you so very much.”

“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”

“Shanae was so sweet and reassuring. She made sure to communicate with me everyday and sent pictures/videos. My big boy was comfy and had so much fun at her home with Ash!”

“They took great care of our older dog. We could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover. Plenty of updates and we were able to relax and enjoy family vacation time knowing he was being well loved and cared for.”

“Highly recommend Kacie to anyone!!! We are semi-new to the area and needed to find someone to watch our 8 year old dog while we were away for a week trip out of the country. Kacie offered up doing a meet and greet which was extremely helpful. She answered all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable. While we were away, she sent daily pictures and updates. We didn’t have to worry at all! Our dog loved his time with Kacie and will definitely be having her watch our sweet pup again.”


“I usually never leave reviews, but Julie and Kenneth have been the best thing to happen to us for puppy care. We were updated often throughout the day and throughout the duration of our Tater Tot's stay. I love that our puppy was able to have a playmate to socialize with and learn from, even while he was away from us and his usual training. It really broke my heart to leave him for the first time while on vacation, but now I don't feel the slightest bit nervous about leaving him with them for future vacations and I know Tater is also anticipating his next stay to see his little friend! He is definitely in great hands!”

“Shelley was amazing!!!! I was updated on a regular with what my dog was doing and how he was acting. She's extremely kind and gentle and we will be using her and her services again and again!!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old, and my love for animals has only grown stronger over the years! From pet sitting for family and friends to caring for furry companions of all sizes, ages, and personalities, I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or plenty of cuddles, I provide patient, attentive, and loving care. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and comfortable while giving their owners peace of mind. Every pet deserves to feel loved, and I’m always happy to provide a little extra spoiling! I have a very flexible schedule and work primarily from home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your furry family members! I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate a variety of schedules and routines. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, playtime, companionship, or a little extra love and attention, I enjoy working with pet parents to create a schedule that fits their needs. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I live in a welcoming, pet-friendly townhome with plenty of indoor space for your furry friend to relax, play, and feel right at home. My community features beautiful, spacious walking paths, perfect for regular walks, fresh air, and exercise. Pets are welcome to enjoy my home rather than being confined to one area, and crating is available if that’s part of their normal routine or their owner’s preference. I believe in maintaining consistency, so I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedules, walking routines, and individual care instructions. With my flexible schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident they’re in good hands! 🐾

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was 14. My family relied on me to feed, walk, play, and bathe the animals. I enjoy my time taking care of the pets/animals around me. I am available 24/7 to care for the pets. I have open availability every day of the week and am indoors for majority of those days. I have an animal park at my apartment that they can run around in and a spacious living room if they want to play. I stay close to them to make sure they well taken care of.
“We came to VA to bring our son to college, the furbaby was slightly in the way (please don’t tell him I said that!)…so, I contacted Tyrah and she responded immediately and was willing to take our baby with short notice. Tyrah was an absolute god send. She was so polite, her place is super clean— I think my baby came back cleaner than I left him! lol… She sent me daily pictures of my baby settling in just fine with her. He came back mild mannered with his lover boy cuddly personality (usually he comes back from sitters pretty rowdy and jumpy), but not this time. I honestly couldn’t tell he had been away. As much as I want to keep Tyrah a secret (and take her back to GA with me), I’ll tell y’all how great she is and what an amazing gem you have in the Hampton area! She truly was the best! She did everything I asked and more. I appreciate her a million times over and will contact her whenever we’re in town! I will definitely share my amazing find with the Hampton U parents who stay home due to not being able to get a local sitter. Thank you, Tyrah!! 💕”

“Sarah was amazing!!!! Not only is she a total sweetheart, she took such good care of our fur baby! You can just tell she treated him like he was her own during our time away. She sent us updates and photos, and was overall a great communicator. She went above and beyond, and even provided a goodie bag for him as a parting gift. We'd definitely have her take care our little guy again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Aurelie and her family wore my girl out!!! I didn’t think that was possible with a German Shepherd! My girl Ramona had a blast! The pictures I got and the communication throughout her visit is top tier. Aurelie will be my dog sitter from now on. She was amazing and I felt that Ramona was well cared for and loved in my absence. 10/10 Highly Recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ordinary home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ordinary.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ordinary sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
