3. Lindsay S.
“Lindsay was great with my two cats! She had great communication and I can tell my babies were well taken care of.”
4. Jackson L.
“I’ve used Jackson multiple times, on several different occasions. His service never disappoints me. From 30 minute drop ins, to hour long walks & visits. He comes in, takes care of hades. Walks, feeds, and plays with him while I’m working multiple 12 hour shifts in a row during the week. Definitely brings my mind to ease knowing my baby is taken care of while I’m busy at work! Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed!”
5. Geneive M.
“My dog has gained a new friend. Geneive was kind and loving towards Nola. Giving her treats, feeding, and daily walks, really keeps Nola happy and in her routine. From all the pics and chats, Nola seemed to feel like her sitter was a part of the family. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others. 🧡”
6. Chelsey M.
“Chelsey came by to check on Maggie. She will care for her when we leave town, and I wanted Maggie to get to know her. It will be the first time we have left Maggie with someone other than family. It is evident that Chelsey loves animals and truly cares about their safety and comfort. We are fortunate to have found her. She will be my new Rover dog sitter for sure.”
7. Allysha B.
“My trip was so much easier knowing that my baby was in good hands. They seemed to enjoy each others company and I will definitely be booking with Allysha again.”
8. Tyler F.
“For my first experience with this app, Tyler has exceeded my expectations. Very respectful and kind person who genuinely cares about your pet. Tyler took care of our dog as if it was his and I’m truly grateful for his service. 10/10 recommend! Thank you Tyler!”
9. Savannah J.
“Savannah did an amazing job looking after my two cats! She was super friendly, attentive to our admittedly shy kitties and made sure we had nothing to worry about while out of town. I’d recommend her any day!”
10. Zara M.
“Zara is great to work with! Reliable, trustworthy, and kind! Definitely plan to use her services again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care!”
11. Shayla W.
“Shayla is very loving towards dogs. She consider her dog Apollo as another one of her children. He is very well trained by her and she shows us how to deal with him so he gets trained the same way by everyone. I would reccomend her as a dog sitter, your pet would be taken care of very well.”
12. Karyn C.
“I had a wonderful experience leaving my papillon with Karyn and her delightful dog Rembrandt. Karyn is professional, kind, organized, and gifted with dogs. My dog is somewhat shy around people and new dogs, so I was thrilled when she clearly had a wonderful time with Karyn and Rembrandt. Karyn was very flexible and accommodating. She took my dog on solo walks and gave her a lot of one-on-one attention. We already have reservations for Karyn to watch our dog again next weekend. Highly recommend! ”
13. Desirae D.
“Desirae was great with the cats and they loved her! She always updated how they were doing and made sure their water was always taken care of.”
14. Anna S.
“Anna did an amazing job of taking care of my two cats. We were gone for 7 days and she was here every day to feed them and clean their litter box. She would always communicate with us to let us know when she would be arriving at our house so we could disarm our alarm system and arm it again once she was gone. I’m so glad she was here for us and will definitely use her services again if she’s available! Thank you, Anna.”
15. Taylor M.
“Taylor was awesome. She arrived on time and took really good care of my four month old labrador puppy. The puppy phase is not easy and she has a lot of good training tips and advice. I feel like my dog is in good hands with Taylor. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her. We’ll be using her all the time.”
16. Julie M.
“Julie is fabulous! I am so very happy to have found her on Rover! I wanted someone who knew cats, who lived nearby, who did not charge an arm and a leg, who had a reasonable cancellation policy, and, of course, who was responsible. Well, I won the lottery with Julie! Yes, I did! Julie is fabulous, absolutely FABULOUS! From the very start (and throughout the entire time), Julie was fast to respond to my requests, my questions, my texts, etc. It was clear that she wanted to ensure we were on the same page, from the beginning, and that we remained on the same page throughout. Outstanding! And, since my schedule often changes, sometimes at the very last minute, her reasonable cancellation policy will not cause me to hesitate to enlist her services again and again. And, since my cat pretty much goes into hiding whenever I am away, caring for my cat becomes simple, easy, and quick - clean the litterbox, provide fresh food and water, then depart. Well, it was here that Julie went the extra mile. Julie washed out the food containers I use to store my cat's wet food, yet I had not asked her to do that! How very thoughtful and generous! Thank you so much, Julie! Thank you for being a FABULOUS cat sitter!”
17. Emily C.
“Emily was excellent with our pup, Motley. We received report cards and updates each day she was there, which really put us at ease, she took Motley on walks, even though it wasn't required, and she even fed our fish for us. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks Emily!”
18. Araminta Rhea F.
About: I have loved dogs since I was a toddler! My first dog was a golden retriever mix and later I grew up with Yorkies and other small to medium-sized breeds. I currently have one fur-baby (Adonis) and he is a social butterfly! I believe our four-legged companions are family, which is why I'm dedicated to treating them with care and respect so they know they are loved. Adonis has his bedroom (The Doggie Suite) and would love to share his space with happy friends to play with! Working remotely from home allows me to accommodate our fitness goals. Adonis walks at least twice a day (morning and evening) and runs around in the yard in between. We enjoy exploring new and larger spaces throughout Hampton Roads such as various parks, beaches, and other safe & clean areas that promote healthy living. Most of our longer, more adventurous walks take place on the weekends. Due to my current full-time occupation, I am working in the office once per week on Thursdays only. If you need a visit through the week, Thursdays are the only days I am not physically home for most of the day (8am-6pm). I work remote all other weekdays and I am off on weekends. We have a fenced-in backyard for playtime or potty breaks. I can accommodate any specific routines regarding meals or medication that your loved ones need. Even though we do love music & movement, we keep the volume at a peaceful level and live in a non-smoking atmosphere. Whether your pal enjoys having their own space with quiet time or lots of cuddles with belly rubs, we have just the place they need. We hope you will allow your fur-baby (or fur-babies) to visit us for a relaxation session or an active adventure!

“Delaney did a wonderful job checking on and spending time with Fritz.”
20. Danielle M.
About: Animals are my passion. Treating each and every fur baby like my own, you will not only be more than satisfied with my care, but your fur baby will be too. My name is Danielle and throughout the week I am strictly a pet walker/pop in and pop out sitter. The weekends is when the party starts! Saturday and Sunday I am available to walk multiple times a day, pet sit, and anything in between. After Pet safety, following your fur baby’s rules/schedule is my number one priority. Whether I am in my home or yours, your pet will be loved on, fed, and retuned back with wags!
