“Took great care of my dog, very communicative and friendly. Couldn’t have chosen a better sitter for my boy. Would highly recommend to friends and family who want the best to take care of their pet!”
“Nicole did such an awesome job taking care of Jax while I was out of town for 10 days. Although Jax is still just a puppy Nicole knew exactly how to handle such a high energy non potty trained puppy. I received daily updates and pics which made me feel at ease that my puppy was well taken care for. Nicole even had him freshly bathed when I went to pick him up and had worked on some simple commands like “sit” with him. I would definitely recommend Nicole to anyone who needs to board their dog, I know I will be going back to her for my future boarding needs!”
“Shawn took great care of our dogs! Our Norma sitter wasn’t available this weekend but we are so glad we found Shawn. He communicated with us throughout their stay and sent lots of photos so we could keep in touch with our fur babies. They definitely had lots of love and play time because they slept like angels when we got them home.”
“We've been using Jenn for over a year now, and every experience has been absolutely wonderful. She takes such great care of our dogs, they always come home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Jenn goes above and beyond with regular updates and tons of adorable photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we're away. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so dependable, kind, and attentive. Jenn is truly an amazing sitter and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dogs!”
“Katja watch our labradoodle for 5 days and she kept me updated with pictures and text daily. I can tell he had an amazing time because he has been super pouty since he’s been home and he was sad to leave. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that is looking for a pet sitter in the Virginia Beach area!”
“Thank you so much for your kindness and patience with our energetic little boy. We know he can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, but you never gave up, and we truly appreciate it.”
“Cherry provided wonderful photos and videos throughout our boys' stay. She was very upfront about how our dogs would be kept and treated. She was a true professional and extremely nice. We couldn't have asked for anything more.”
“Excellent service! Bane was very happy and they didn’t even complain because he tends to be oily and smelly(bulldog) no matter how many bathes he gets. We will definitely trust them again!”
“Shannon & her family did an amazing job taking care of our Bruno the 2nd time around. She always keep us up to date with pictures & videos. Thank you for being a great dog sitter. We appreciate you.”
“Maria and Matthew were absolutely the best Rovers to trust with our Frenchie. They took such great care of him and truly made him feel right at home. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Charlie had an amazing stay with Stacy and fam! He got to play outside in a fun fenced-in yard with another fur friend and human friends. He also got to eat some natural dog treats. He will be back!”
“Cameron was a total lifesaver when my original sitter canceled last minute. He invited me over right away and gave me a full tour of his home — it’s truly set up perfectly for boarding dogs. I felt completely comfortable leaving my puppy with him. He sent frequent updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Cameron to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Cassandra and her family were absolutely wonderful dog sitters! This was my first night away from my pup and it was a great experience because of them. She shared pictures throughout the stay and Moose had an overall wonderful time! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Wendy was so great!!! I felt 100% comfy leaving my Ellie boo with her. She sent me sweet cuddling pictures while we were away and took the best care of our girl. She was loved on like family, no doubt about that. EXTRA thankful for her help getting in/out at pickup while I was SOLO in the weather🤣 the sweetest human. We will def be using Wendy in the future. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Hailey was able to watch my lil chunky boy on short notice and did the absolute most to show me that she was being well cared for as I was out to sea for work! BOOK WITH HER SHES AMAZING. Another perk when I got home he smelled of sweet vanilla and I was obsessed”
“This was my first time using Rover, and it was a wonderful experience! My dog is 12 years old and blind, so at first I was anxious about leaving her under someone else’s care. Jiyali made me feel very comfortable with her listed experience and asking the right questions before dropping her off to make sure she would be comfortable and happy during her stay. She sent frequent updates, and in every photo and video my dog looked so happy to be there! The process was very convenient, and both me and my dog were comfortable with the care she provided and will definitely request her again. I’m grateful to have found someone that could ease my anxiety and make the experience wonderful. Thank you so much for everything!”

I’m very active, dependable, and have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, exercise, and companionship. My goal is to make your life easier and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

My goal is to make your life easier and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m home often during the day and have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and play. I also have a large dog crate available if needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide so they feel comfortable, secure, and at home while in my care.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, including senior dogs who may need a little extra patience, attention, and care. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether they love walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. Because I’m home, I’m able to easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, walks, medications, naps, and whatever routine your dog is used to. I only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup will get lots of individual attention while staying with me. Your dog will be welcomed into our home like part of the family. We have a house with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs are welcome to relax on our furniture and even sleep in our bed if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I only board one dog at a time, which allows me to provide a calm, comfortable environment and plenty of personal attention. We also have Eddie, our 17-year-old Maltese, who loves other animals and is extremely calm, easygoing, and mostly interested in relaxing these days. I want your dog’s stay to feel as close to home as possible, so I’m happy to follow their normal routines, preferences, and little quirks that make them feel comfortable.

Tiana was great and very professional! She took wonderful care of our beagle during his 4-night stay and sent us daily photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely book with Tiana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

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 Pungo home-away-from-home, 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 Pungo.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pungo 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 , 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 .
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.
