“Absolutely fantastic! John and Zena took excellent care of Fergus. John is a real animal lover and I felt very comfortable to leave Fergus with him. I loved the daily check-ins with news on how Fergus was bonding with John 😊. Fergus had an amazing time and we will definitely be relying on John and Zena when we go out of town again!”
“Eric and his family were phenomenal with my highly energetic, easily bored, pup! It’s a little scary leaving your dog for a week, but Eddy was very well taken care during his stay! He updated us when needed, and assured us how well Eddy was doing. The communication and pictures of my dog helped ease the nerves and certainly assured us all was great! We will definitely be reaching out to Eric again the next time we head to NC, and I highly recommend Eric if you’re looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Lauren had great communication before and during. Thankful she was able to accommodate our last minute request. Highly recommend lauren. Thank you again and have a blessed holiday.”
“She was absolutely wonderful her home is a perfect fit for our Sadie. We will be taking her back to visit a few days a week so she can bond with her family before we drop her off for an over night stay. Christie thank you so much for opening your home to what we call our baby. I hope she was a good girl for you.”
“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!”
“We loved Amanda! Duke had a great time spending time with Amanda, and she was so helpful and responsive from day one. We got tons of pictures and updates, and loved seeing what Duke was up to all weekend. Amanda was also really flexible with pick up and drop off times, which was so helpful to us when our flight was delayed 4 hours! We had a great experience and will definitely be using Amanda again in the future. This was our first Rover experience, and I'm glad we had this option for Duke who loves people so much and just wouldn't thrive in a kennel atmosphere. Thank you Amanda for taking such great care of Duke!”
“Morgan did an awesome job taking care of our puppies! Kept me updated daily on how things were going and sent pictures. Most definitely will use her again and refer her to any friends in search of a sitter. Thank you Morgan!”
“Theresa did a wonderful job with our 14 week old lab. We were nervous about leaving him for the first time, but we quickly learned that she would take good care of him. She sent pictures twice a day and responded to all of my texts. I would definitely use her again.”
“Sherry was great. I was scared to leave the pup with strangers but her home has a welcoming atmosphere. Obi seemed very relaxed and comfortable so I knew he was in safe hands.”
“Hailey did great for my pup Ivy! She had a good time playing with her kids. Hailey was great about keeping me updated and sending me pictures and videos of Ivy. I will rebook in the future and recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter.”
“Leslie did a nice job caring for our little bean. With prompting, she kept us informed on how he was doing and sent pics. She said he fit right into the family and I'd be happy to utilize her services again.”
“I would definitely recommend Megaan for anyone and their fur babies. Meagan‘s communication was top-tier and she provided us with a picture of our boy every day. We felt extremely safe leaving him with her. Meagan was very attentive to any instructions that we left. We definitely plan to rebook with her in the future.”
“Jenn and her family took great care of Winnie and Jack! We appreciate her daily updates with photos and could tell our dogs were in great hands! I will definitely use her services again!”

“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!!”
“Mabel had so much fun staying with Ricardo while we went on vacation. She enjoyed making new friends. This was the first time she stayed with someone she wasn't familiar with so she had a little anxiety at first but Ricardo was able to comfort her and she warmed right up making herself at home. Ricardo kept us updated daily on how our girl was doing and sent pictures which made us more comfortable leaving her. We will definitely be using Ricardo again!”
“We are so pleased to have found this wonderful family to take care of our Tilly. We received sweet updates and pictures of our four legged family member thoughout her stay, she was treated as one of their own fur family members. We want to thank them for taking such good and gracious care of our pupper. This was our first experience using Rover.com and with this family your pupper will be well cared for and loved. Thank you to all of you for your kindness and care towards our girl.”
“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!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child!

Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.
“Taylor did a great job taking care of our cat, Chloe while we were out of town. She sent us pictures after each visit which we really appreciated! Our cat usually runs and hides when visitors come in the door, however she greeted Taylor each time. She even let Taylor pet her. I highly recommend Taylor to look after your pet!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs—from playful kittens to senior cats that require extra patience and attention. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I focus on creating a stress-free experience while you’re away. During each visit, I ensure your cat is fed on schedule, litter boxes are kept clean, and they receive the right balance of attention—whether that’s playtime, affection, or simply quiet companionship. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, monitoring behavior changes, and providing updates so you always know how your cat is doing. Cleanliness, reliability, and clear communication are my top priorities. My goal is simple: ➡️ Keep your cat comfortable ➡️ Keep your home clean ➡️ Give you total peace of mind while you’re away

All pets are vaccinated and spayed with regular checkups ups. Our dog is crate trained and does not wander the home without supervision. We will treat your baby like family and make any accommodations they will need to feel comfortable.

“Tina and her family were the perfect "home away from home" for our fur-baby! Thank you for loving her today! We look forward to continuing the relationship!”
“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”
“So many wonderful things to say about this place and host. This was our first time using rover and I wish I had discovered Rose sooner! The facilities were impressive and I knew immediately Jolene was going to have a fun and safe experience. Rose is extremely professional and great to work with. I will not need to look further when booking in the future :)”
About: I currently have two well loved pups, both on daily medication. I believe every pup deserves love, regardless of behavior or perceived aggression. I have experience with heartworm positive dogs as well as dogs who experience seizures. I am a current college student living at home with my family so I am available with lots of free time for your furry friend! I will occasionally have my partner over for meals or to just hang out if I am house sitting, depending on the distance and length of the booking. I believe that keeping an animal clean and safe is the best way to ensure health, as well as making sure the animal is comfortable with me. If I am watching someone who is shy, I am more than happy to give them their space (while ensuring they are safe).
“Mr. Eugene and his family were absolutely wonderful with my boys! I’m always hesitant regarding people watching them unless I personally know them but my boys were definitely in great hands and I am so happy!”
“Taylor was fantastic. She is very flexible with her time and very patient. She arrived on time and did a great job with my high-energy Siberian Husky. I will definitely re-book her.”
About: I'm a high school math teacher and my wife works from home full time. Looking to watch after your little guys so we don’t have to get another one.

Experience wise ive taken care of neighbors cats and dogs as a teen and have had 2 dogs myself over my adult years as well as turtles if you care about that.

My wife loves snuggles and always looking for another blanket buddy We have a large yard and one friendly toddler looking for her next best friend. Overall it is a quiet home with lots of space.

I have wiener dogs who are very social so it includes a socializing experience. I am experienced with deaf/ blind doggos and doggos with insulin shots. I am comfortable helping those with medical needs and most doggo breeds . Only requirement is no aggression towards other animals. I enjoy playing and getting to know your dog, dogs have different personalities and different interests.

About: I grew up with my best friend Reuben, the family St. Bernard. My love for caring for pets has never ceased. I love and respect dogs and believe that if I love your dogs like I love mine, they will feel secure and confident until you come home. Additionally, having been a homeowner for many years, I am a fantastic house sitter. I have an extensive frame of reference if something presents itself that I need to address or call to your attention. If you like, I can bring in your mail and water your plants. And optional services can include running errands, shopping in preparation for your return, running packages to drop off, weeding landscaped beds, organizing projects, cleaning projects, and anything that you’ve wanted to accomplish but haven’t had the time. I work remote part-time, so I can work from anywhere and am available most of the time for overnight stays, or just visits and walks. Taking care of your pet(s) in your home offers your pet(s) the most familiarity because we will follow your protocol and structure to which they are accustomed. Occasionally I will care for pets in my home.
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals and have developed deep, hands-on experience with specialized pet care.

In our home, we maintain a highly secure environment featuring a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. We keep a well-managed household where guest pets are integrated smoothly alongside our own crate-trained dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, I’ve grown up with dogs. I’ve taken care of all animals including horses and other farm animals also! I’m a Navy Veteran, Stay at home mom. I have 4 kids (3 in school and 1 not quite school age yet). I have 3 dogs of my own and I have plenty of time on my hands so give your fur babies extra love and attention! I have a line that I use to let my dogs go potty, I do not have a fenced in yard but I have kids and 3 dogs of my own to entertain your fur babies :)
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I have experience with all ages and senior care, as my childhood dog is now 13, and I frequently pet sit and care for her. I have taken care of family and friends dogs as well, from the ages of puppies all the way to senior. With always being around various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I have learned many things throughout the years. I have experience walking reactive and nonreactive dogs. As well as, bathing, playtime, potty breaks on and off leash, and, of course, giving lots of love and snuggles! I also have experience giving pills if needed. I would love to help with any needs you and your babies may have! I am currently free almost any day and time during the week. I am an ultrasound technician, and I am taking a break from working full time. I stay home and care for our home, and get to love on my doggy in the meantime. I have lots of availability to help out anyone who is looking for a caring person who will give their baby lots of love, and care for their unique needs. My dog Chili is a two year old rescue who was previously abused and became a stray. We had to help her overcome her anxiety through trust and training. We trained her to walk and potty on a leash, crate training, dog and people socialization, commands, and to be off leash. I have learned lots of patience and training skills to help her become comfortable with us and others. Now she is my little velcro dog and protector haha! I have learned throughout the years to always earn a dog’s trust to help ease any anxiety when meeting them. Boundaries are very important to me as well. If any are stated to me, they will be upheld. I appreciate those that listen to mine, so I will always listen to others.
“I'm basing this review on my limited experience with hiring dog walkers. This is my first time using this app or any dog walker services for that matter. I was amazed how easy it was to sign up and find a qualified dog walker under such short notice. I was worried my dog's stature and puppy manners would be intimidating, but was worried for nothing. The walker, Renee, handled him really well and passed in flying colors. Will use this service and walker again in the future if the need arises again.”

About: Hello! I am currently in school to be a registered veterinary technician, but I have experience at an animal shelter and veterinary clinic working as a Veterinary Assistant. I am so passionate about this line of work! I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown more and more as I’ve gotten older. My mom has 9 cats a dog and a duck! I have a passion for understanding and learning about all different types of animals. I would love to meet with all of y’all before starting our sittings or walks. Just to better understand your pet and their needs plus getting to know you! Anytime I am not working I would love to help as much of y’all with caring for your sweet animals as possible!

About: As a pet sitter, my goal is to provide more than basic care. I want your dog to feel safe, understood, and comfortable in your absence while maintaining the routines and expectations they are accustomed to at home. I understand the importance of secure handling, appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and respecting each dog’s individual temperament. I am especially passionate about caring for working and high-drive breeds, including dogs that may require experienced handling, structured routines, or additional enrichment. I also understand that some dogs can be sensitive to changes in environment or routine, and I strive to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. Your pets are part of your family, and I treat their care with the same seriousness, attention, and respect I would expect for my own animals. My years of experience with working dogs allow me to provide knowledgeable, dependable, and individualized care for dogs that need someone who truly understands them. Running my own farm allows me the freedom and flexibility to accommodate almost any routines needed for daily walks or drop ins or house sitting. I’ll provide attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic household care. With 25 years of experience working with animals, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and routines.

About: I have been taking car of all kinds of dogs for years. I've watched dogs from Labrador puppies to senior German Shepards. I've owned dogs my whole life and I've always had a special bond with them. Dogs usually gravitate towards me because I am a very fun and light hearted person. My friends often refer to me as a Disney princess because of how I am with animals. I belive all animals need love and respect and I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I am a nanny for a mother of three during the day but I am usually only needed two or three days a week so my weekends are completely free. Even days when I watch my kids I am off by 3pm and can spend evenings with the pets. I have several dogs of my own so my house is fully equipped with w fenced in yard and my house is pet safe. In regards to a clients home I would of course check what the client has in place but as a pet owner I am also aware pets can be sneaky and love to get into mischief. I am always checking on clients pets making sure they are safe and not getting into things they shouldn't. I am also certified in pet cpr and massage therapy incase a pet does get into distress or if they need some other help with pain. Over all my priority is always the health and safety of my client beloved pets.
