“Bethany was truly a God send when I needed help with daily pup walks for my two large fur babies. I have a mal mix and a GSD and she was always able to work around my crazy on-call work schedule. I don’t have enough good things to say about her! If you want the best care for your pup, you have to call her!”
“Jenna was amazing. I really enjoyed the daily “pee mails” & pics of my dog. She even stepped in when a friend cancelled on me last minute so I decided to bump up my reservation with her. I will definitely call on her again.”
“I’m glad to have come across Rodney. From the time that he met Diamond through the last walk, he followed the instructions I left which I greatly appreciated. He was fantastic and I plan to book him again in the future.”
“Great with Kona Heather help out above and beyond when he had a skin reaction while I was away overseas an actually stayed an extra day when my plane got delayed excellent service couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!!!!!!!”
“We are so thankful we found Marisol! She was able to help us immensely with our hound who is high energy and can be a bit of a handful on the leash. She expertly handles him and ensures they have an enjoyable, safe, and energy burning walk! She is kind, communicative, and was able to work with our schedule. Highly recommend! Thank you Marisol!”
About: i've taken care of dogs since I was 11 and I've had a cat for almost ten years now. I love spending time with all breeds! I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with, take care of, and love on your fur babies. I'll take care of your animals whichever way you see fit. I have a fenced in back yard and will crate them if you see fit.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14, caring for pets both in my own home and in their homes while their families are away. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members! I work from 8:00 AM–5:30 PM on weekdays, but I have a lengthy break during the day that gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. My evenings and weekends are also more flexible, allowing me to spend extra time making sure your pet gets the care, companionship, and exercise they need! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their space and making new friends. I also have an extra set of hands with my fiancé, Tyler, who is just as much of an animal lover as I am! When caring for pets in their own home, I’m happy to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: I have 35 years of experience with taking care of dogs. I have several years of experience with taking care of cats as well. I enjoy dog/cat care! I am a full time public school health and physical education teacher with 18 years of experience. I also am a volunteer coach for my children’s various sports teams. I am married and have 3 children (6 counting dogs). In my home, I care for my dogs by giving them their basic needs such as providing food, water, bathroom breaks, a place to rest/sleep, and lots of love and attention!
About: I have over a year of experience dog sitting both drop in visits and overnight. I can adjust to any specific needs your pet may need including administering pills and most other medication. I take care of five of my beloved cats at home. They’re very spoiled so my routine involves cleaning their water fountain each week along with their litter robot whenever it needs to be emptied. I provide puzzle toys for enrichment and have even taught one of my cats a trick he does for his wet food dinner. When taking care of a families home I always make sure to leave things the same way they were when I arrived. Whether that being washing any dishes I used and remaking the bed so things are tidy when they return.
About: With my mom being a science teacher, I grew up with all sorts of animals, from different lizards and different kinds of bunnies, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. We currently have three dogs that are my world, even though I am away from home due to the military. Going from animal affection most of my life, to none at all is hard. And once I heard about this company I had to apply, pets are a humans best companion and some would even say they’re like our own children. I would love to keep your pet safe, happy and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in the military but with the schedule I have now i’m pretty flexible. I would say my weekends are available and with week days i’m not available between 4pm-8pm due to work. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own! For drop in visits and dog walks, I make sure pets get exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention, while following their normal routine. During overnight stays, I provide companionship, keep their schedule consistent, administer simple care if instructed, and send regular photo and message updates so owners feel confident that they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a very clean and organized person :)
“Miesha has been walking my yorkie, Penny for almost a year now. She has done a wonderful job and is so kind with her. Even on days when she doesn’t want to walk she plays with her. Miesha is always flexible and makes sure Penny gets the exercise, love, and attention she needs. Would highly recommend her to take care of your pup!”

I'll not only make sure your pet is taken care of but your home as well. Your cat/dogs messes are apart of the job, so you won't have to worry about coming home to spills or axadents
“Excellent communication and provided lots of updates on every visit. We recently fostered to adopt our dog and she went above and beyond to ensure to us he was comfortable, happy and taken care of. I am continuing to use Clair for our regular dog walking needs.”
About: I've taken care of pets from dogs to lizards since I was 12, and have been doing drop-ins and house-sitting for family, friends, and my community for as long as I've been able to drive. I'm able to give meds for older dogs with more needs, and have trained my own dogs well in obedience training, so I have plenty of experience with a firm voice for more unruly dogs that need a little extra attention. I'm good with all animals (even the wild ones), and have experience caring for animals that need to stay separated, and am willing and able to adapt to any family I need. I currently am between jobs, the only duty I have is taking care of my own pets (amd occasionally younger siblings) so I have plenty of time to look after and care for pets I have a gentle hand and a firm voice, and have experience with obedience-training dogs particularly, and have faith in my ability to care for even the more unruly of pets. I am comfortable with crate-training and crate-trained dogs, as well as shutting them in their own room when no one is present in the home. I also have good leash experience, so walks would be easy and comfortable for me.
About: I’ve previously owned both dogs and cats and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I own and operate a pressure washing company, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to plan my days around pet care. My business naturally slows down during the winter months, giving me more availability during the week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I care for pets by following their normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and regular walks or bathroom breaks when needed. I keep their environment clean and safe and give each pet time to feel comfortable around me. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know how their pet is doing.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Poquoson. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
