“Jordyn was a great sitter for my pup! She was able to change plans and check in on him for an extended amount of time while my flights were delayed and I felt good knowing he was in great hands.”

About: I have many years of experience with animal care and rescue. I’ve worked on a horse ranch rescue, Animal Control Officer, animal rescue, animal shelters and pet sitting. I have a lot of training in veterinary care, animal handling, animal behavior and administration of medication. I have dedicated my life to fostering and adopting hospice pets. I am fortunate to have a full time career that is very flexible with scheduling. I am also off most weekends to leave me free to care for pets! I will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect and care. I will be very happy to follow your special instructions and often updates.
“Keyana was such a great cat sitter. She was so sweet to my kitten Apollo and gave him so much play time and love. She cared for my kitty as if it were her own. I’ve absolutely found my new sitter and Apollo now has a best friend :,) Thank you so much, Key!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was in 7th grade (now a recent college graduate!!) and am looking to start searching for clients consistently again. I’ve watched over cats and dogs and also have experience with with both species that required medication. Growing up with two diabetic cats (and then some) allowed me to learn how to administer insulin by myself and how to administer pills. Being able to trust someone with your pet is hard and knowing they’re in good hands is a huge stress reliever. My goal is to not only to watch over and care for your pet(s), but to take the weight off your shoulders when you aren’t able to be home with them. I am currently looking for a full time job and being a pet sitter will allow me to earn a little extra on the side. I do not board pets as I don't have a current permanent residence of my own (living with my partner and their family), but am more than willing to stay overnight in a clients home. I ensure safety by checking in on a clients pet regularly should I not be needed 24/7 and make sure to not only watch, but care for the clients pet. My visits (when sleeping over isn’t required) typically range from 1 hour or a little over to be able to spend quality time with a clients pet(s), especially when the owner is gone for a longer period of time.
“Samantha took care of our dogs (an 11 month old shih tzu who’s full of energy, and our 9 year old grumpy old man lab mix.) After using this service for the first time, I will never board my dogs again. Each received playtime and walks, being fed and it showed that Samantha loves animals. She’s great. If you need a sitter, be sure to check her out. Thanks Samantha!”

“Megan was AMAZING! Our pup can be stressed out with new people and we just lost our other pup, so he was extra stressed meeting someone new this time. Megan took her time with our baby and was so patient. She kept us informed and we are just so grateful that she cared so much! Highly recommended!”

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Poquoson choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
