“Lisa took great care of our two dogs! From the pictures she sent, our pups felt right at home and had a good time, getting loved on by her and her family. Lisa is very professional, warm, and kind. We will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter for their pets.”

“Oh my gosh! My boy Neeko had THE BEST time!!!! Cristen was great at sharing photos and videos during his 2 night weekend visit. Her communication is so good. Micheal playing out in the yard with him throwing the ball. The whole family gave Neeko lots of love as if he were their own. Once I picked Neeko up and got him home, he slept the rest of the day. He was completely worn out!! If he were a kid, I think he would be talking about his sleepover for days!!! Lol. I could not have found a more perfect family to love my baby. 🥰”

“Lauryn was an incredible sitter! She accommodated all of my dogs’ needs and likes. She took care of my boys, Ace and Adonis, as if they were her own. I loved that she sent pictures and videos of them every day. It was such a bonus and put my mind at ease to see them having fun while I was away. I highly recommend her and we will be back! 🐾😊 Thank you Lauryn!”

“Janel is amazing!! This was my first time leaving my baby alone and I’ve never felt more at eased. She sent pictures and videos the entire time I was gone. My baby had a blast! I will definitely be booking again.”

“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Shanae was professional, dependable, and incredibly caring with my dog. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Shanae went above and beyond to make sure all routines, feeding schedules, walks, and playtime were handled perfectly. When I returned home, it was obvious that my dog had been loved and cared for exceptionally well. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thanks again Shanae!”

“Kat was incredible with our boys from the moment they trotted into her home! We always go by the vibe of how they engage people, and our boys loved being with her!! She spoiled them absolutely rotten and sent us tons of photos & updates every single day. Kat took EXCELLENT care of them and we’ll definitely be hiring her again — highly recommend!!”

“We Had the pleasure of using Britanny to watch over our sweet millie and it was a great experience. Britanny made sure she kept us in the loop and put all of our worries to rest with updates,pics, Etc. Being that it was our first time ever using a sitter, she made our stay away from millie extremely pleasant. Thank you again Brittany. I would highly recommend.”


“I was scrambling to find dog boarding when my friend canceled on me at the last minute. I had no backup plan and actually thought I’d have to send my dog to a kennel for the week. Luckily, as I was looking up kennels, I found information on Rover. So this was my very first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Turns out, there was absolutely no reason for me to be. Rover is very easy to use and I was able to find Julie & Kenneth N’s information. After seeing/reading the positive reviews I made immediate plans to meet them and have them meet my Husky, Max. When Julie & Ken arrived, they were very friendly, easy to talk to and most importantly, they love dogs. I was able to book Max to stay with Julie & Ken for the entire week that we were on a family vacation. As promised, I got daily emails (with pictures) of how Max was doing and Julie even let me know how helpful Max was in the kitchen — by being watchful to ensure Julie didn’t drop anything while preparing lunch. I loved all of the text communications I received — Max was smiling in some of the pics. That put me at ease too. If you want top notch boarding for your dog, then I highly recommend this dog-loving duo. Your dog will be well taken care of and will be happy with Julie & Ken. In the future, whenever we need dog boarding, Julie & Ken will be my very first choice. I am sincerely grateful to them for their excellent care of Max.”


“Alexis was the best! We are transitioning from Boston Massachusetts to Hampton roads, and at the last minute I needed a sitter for 2 of my golden doodle boys, to move my remaining items to VA, and Alexis quickly responded and agree to Take my boyz. She took pictures and messaged me daily about much fun they were having. We definitely will utilize Alexis again! We found a sitter here in Hampton Roads! Yay!!”


“Megan was amazing I recently boarded my rescue Prince for the first time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Megan took such amazing care of Prince during his two-night stay. She went above and beyond—sending me some of the best photos and videos I’ve ever had of him, including clips of him playing and socializing with larger dogs (which was a first for him!). It meant so much to see him having that kind of fun and confidence. Megan also kept me updated with daily “doggy report cards” and personalized notes, which were such a thoughtful touch. When I picked him up, it was clear he had an incredible time—he was almost sad to leave! He even made a new best friend with her dog, Kava. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Megan gave, and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Truly a 5-star experience from start to finish!”

“Kacie was amazing!! She took such great care of our fur baby. She was great from the meet and greet up until we picked our dog up after a long weekend. Wonderful communication, flexible with scheduling changes and sent us pictures every day! We will definitely ask for her next time we go out of town!”

“My dogs love staying with Omaira & Isaac and playing with Mia, it makes me feel so much less guilty for leaving them! They also pay great attention to my dogs' health which is very much appreciated!”

“Mrs. Crystal has been a Godsend! After several stays with her, we can honestly say that finding someone you trust completely with your dog is priceless, and that’s exactly what we found in her. She consistently provides exceptional care, thoughtful updates, and genuine love for Jaxon. He is always excited to see her and comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Knowing he is in such capable and caring hands gives us tremendous peace of mind whenever we’re away. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy sitter. ❤️”

“Gunna had a great time and made himself at home with Jessica and her kids. He had a fun time playing in the large backyard and on his walks. Jessica was quick to respond, gave us daily updates, and above all was able to watch Gunna last minute.”

“Constance is a really special person. Great communicator, kind and open. She was open to do a meet and greet before Teddys actual staycation and allowed us to see her home and meet her pets to make sure everyone gets along. Once we dropped Teddy off she sent pictures every day! Communicated very clearly and kept me informed of Teddys well being. She was accommodating when we had little curve balls thrown at us and we have absolutely no complaints at all. Your fur babies will be in good hands with Constance! We will be booking again for our next vacation.”


“Jackie and Kevin did great with our babies. They were very responsive and gave updates. My pups are a little spoiled and one requires daily medications, but Jackie made us feel comfortable that everything would be fine and it wasn't a hassle. I'd recommend them and would rebook in the future.”

Emily & her girls were wonderful!! They took care of Ellie as if she was their own. When she wasn’t feeling good Emily went above and beyond by making her some chicken and rice. They loved on her and snuggled her, and I even got pictures! We will absolutely utilize Emily’s service again on our next vacation. Thanks so much!
