“Gary is the best!! He's so amazing with my pups! They love him and really enjoy their walks with him. And, he really helped me out when I found myself in need of a walker on short notice. Can't say enough how thankful I am for him & Rover.com!!”
“Piper is so responsive and a great walker for My Frankie boy. I’ve had some last minute emergencies last week and Piper has always been great getting back to Me and providing quality services with such short notice. Grateful every time I’m able to book for another walk.”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets since I was a little girl! Especially dogs and cats so I’m very in tune with animals and what their needs are and can be and I always have plenty of love and attention to give them. I’ve housesitted for friends and family while they’ve been on vacation before, leaving me responsible for feeding, walks, changing litter, playtime and cuddles! I’ve also rescued and rehomed stray kittens and adult cats during my teenage years and have had volunteer experience dog walking at the Human Society in Memphis more recently. I’m available most weekdays and my weekend schedule is flexible! I travel often but am very transparent and communicative about days that I’ll be out of town. All my care services are offered in the owners home to ensure Pet's comfort being in their own home and comfort zone. Every care engagement I do starts with an essential, thorough owner checklist for their pet(s). This covers: Pet specs (names,breeds etc.), emergency vet contact; feeding & exercise requirements and especially Pet(s) personality, favorite treats, fears etc. Ensuring pet care and companionship that gives Owners REAL peace of mind is my priority.
About: I have been in veterinary medicine for 8 years. I am confident in my ability to handle and work with many different breeds, sizes and temperaments. I’m free on the weekends and I have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs before and after work. I have time to not only let out and feed your fur baby but spend time with them. I will care for your pet per your exact instructions. I will treat your fur baby how I would want my own to be taken care of.
About: I love pets of all sizes, shapes, and colors! I can’t remember a time in my life where I didn’t have at least one animal. I have had dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, turtles, and ferrets. I know I hate leaving my pet family at home during the day, so let me brighten up yours with walks and visits while you’re at work, and cuddles and company while you’re away! I work full-time as an ER nurse in our local trauma center. I typically work days but my schedule is variable. Any questions about availability, please ask! My fiance and I live together, so we are a team in taking care of your pets when they come stay in our home. He has had pets all of his life and is always happy to have an extra pet around. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and brightening up their day, and yours. I have my own pets I care for every day. I’m home often during the week and am able to take my dog outside and walk through my neighborhood so he can get exercise. I am also home most weekends and therefore am able to give my pet all of the love and attention he deserves. Pets are family. There are no rules regarding pets not being on furniture or in certain areas of the home. Unless your rules are different, this goes for your pets too! Trust me to make your furry friend just as much a family member as mine!
About: I've always had dogs my entire life and have always been the one (mainly) to take care of them. Feeding, walking, playing, bathing, nail trimmings, cleaning up after, you name it and I was the one to do it. And I loved it! It helped me to feel a closer bond to the sweet babies and I didn't mind. Whatever they needed I was happy to offer! This carries into today as well. Happy to help any and all furry creatures! I work early in the mornings so after I get off around 3 (and after a quick nap lol), I'm completely open! Even though I start my day right as the sun rises, I'm still a bit of a night owl so I can care for your animals all the way until 11 pm. Respect for your home and your pet's routine is very important to me. If sitting within your residence, just let me know any important information and house rules and guaranteed I'll follow by them.

About: Experience: I have 8 years of pet experience and I have 3 fur babies of my own. I have 2 cats: Big Kitty and Fetty. Big Kitty is 8 years old and I got her in 2017 from my next door neighbor. She is your typical skittish cat but when she warms up, she is super sweet and loves to lay on your chest and purr like an engine. Fetty is 5 years old and I got her in 2020 from the Humane Society. She is very friendly and vocal. She loves her pets but does not cuddle nor like being picked up. Caezar is my German Shepard, Terrier and Lab mix. I got him in 2024 from the Animal Shelter. He is a little over a year old and is very smart. He knows a lot of different commands and enjoys a lot of play time. He is a medium energy dog and can be a little overwhelming but he loves to go on walks, runs and swimming. He is the biggest sweetheart ever. He is my best friend. All my fur babies are up to date on shots and go to the vet for their annual exam. I don’t hesitate to call or go to the vet when I notice something is off with my fur babies. I would say I’m a very strict pet owner but I know how to let loose and have some fun with my fur babies. Schedule: I am a stay at home Military spouse. I do have a dog who is a little over a year old but he is potty and crated trained. Safety, trust & environment: I have mentioned above that I am a strict pet owner. I have a routine with all my animals to ensure they’re healthy and safe from illnesses. I will do the same for yours! I am an animal lover at heart.

Elizabeth C.
“Devoted Pet Parents RE: Elizabeth aka 'Lizi', In 2014, @ their first meeting, Our aging black lab fell IN LOVE with Lizi. Her visits with Our family soon routinely morphed into extended walks and playtime activities with Blaze. Since the historical, residential neighborhood that We live in is a pet haven and unofficial daily dog show, Lizi met and bonded with other dog lovers and their countless breeds initiating canine play dates (for exercise) and trading pet care tips. Nearly a decade later, Her impact on pets remains memorable as neighbors here still inquire about Her sitting availability. Especially for pet care, Liz's value is Her innate affinity with animals --dogs and cats alike. Lizi's pet care, 'resume' is extensive. She prefers providing on-site care where pets are familiar and most comfortable -- @ their home. Her care regimens are very thorough with owner peace of mind just as important as the pets' care itself. Beyond specified care requirements (feeding, meds etc.), Lizi pays intuitive attention to each pet's unique personality: from needs to favorites (treats, toys, games, security places) to quirks (fears, habits, etc.) Lizi readily adapts to owner-preferred schedules and provides care info as requested (shared updates, photos, etc.) Our current mixed breed Pup also cannot soak up enough Lizi. Over the years, We've seen consistent response(s) of many pets entrusted to Lizi. Each Pet finding their Lizi care as the next best thing to having their owners' care is the only endorsement that really counts.”

Bridgette C.
“My family met Bridgette a couple years ago when we moved to the area, she quickly became one of our favorite people! We will miss her when she moves away but know that the Hampton Roads area is gaining an awesome person!!”
Destiny G.
“Destiny would qualify due to her automatic interest and love for animals. She has a beagle of her own and is always on top of her stuff one it comes to him. She walks him everyday and always keeps his area clean.”
Hannah F.
“I just can’t say enough about Hannah! I always seem to need someone last minute and Hannah is always to my rescue! Whether I leave for the day, overnight, or week at a time. She is always there for my sweet Piper when needed. My neighbors loved her interaction with my dog and now they use her too!! She not only lets Piper out but she plays with her, takes her for walks, and even bathed her when she gets dirty! I truly mean Hannah is the BEST and I do not ever feel guilty when I have to leave because I secretly think Piper likes Hannah better than me when I see her reaction to Hannah coming over!!”
Blake T.Star Sitter

She’s great at communicating and goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are safe and comfortable. I always feel totally at ease knowing they’re in her care!”
Isabella C.
“For the past few months, Isabella has been nothing short of amazing as our pet sitter. From the very first visit, it was clear how deeply she cares for animals. Our dog & cat took to her immediately—something that doesn’t happen often—and it brought us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving, capable hands. Isabella is reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond every time she visits. She doesn’t just meet their basic needs—she spends time playing with them, comforting them, and making sure they’re happy and relaxed. Her updates and photos are always a joy to receive, and they’ve made being away from home so much easier. What truly sets Isabella apart is the genuine connection she builds with the animals she cares for. It’s clear she treats them like her own, and that level of trust is priceless. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and dedicated pet sitter. Thank you, Isabella, for everything you do. You’ve become an important part of Milo and Otis’—and ours too.”
