I was extremely nervous about using rover my Koda is 70Ibs and absolutely insane in the best possible way. Tyler reassured and explained to me how everything was going to work. When tyler came to the door Koda was in protective mode, thankfully tyler didn’t get scared off instead he suggested a new approach to them meeting and once Koda sniffed him he immediately let tyler take the leash! He was amazing and I will definitely be scheduling with him again!

Reyna is a phenomenal rover. Her professionalism and keen attention to detail is unmatched when dealing with my fur buddy. When I mention his rover is on the way soon, his excitement is out the roof. If you're looking for a committed rover, that communicates extremely well, ensures your fur baby is safe, and makes your life unbelievably easier. Reyna is definitely the one 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Alyssa is incredibly personable, kind, communicative, and detailed. She wasn't intimidated by any of the quirks my dogs have or the challenges associated with picking my dogs up for walks and taking an elevator with them. She always alerts me of scheduling conflicts or changes in the timeline, and it's been a tremendous help for me.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 10 years while balancing my studies and caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I also had an English bulldog named Bowser, so I understand the unique needs of different breeds. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just good company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m a recent medical school graduate with a lifelong love for animals. I am currently completing a masters program online so I have plenty of time to get out of the house and spend time with your fur baby! I am currently residing in Ghent area in a townhouse with my Fiancé. We have a small fenced yard, two large green belts on each side of our place, and tons of parks nearby! I enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood and making my way to First Landing for walks as well.

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!

Lexi was excellent with my dog when I was on a business trip to Texas. She sent me tons of photos and updates during the 4 days I was gone. I knew my dog would miss me terribly but she was the best companion and caretaker we could have had. Her love for animals is evident in her work, she truly has a heart to care. Will hire her again and again.
