“Communication was great! For our first time we felt so comfortable leaving our baby! I was a nervous wreck but was constantly comforted with messages and pictures! She was in great hands during our absence. When we left she was so excited to see us but also so sad to leave her new family. Looking forward to future visits. Thank you for taking great care of our girl and for being so flexible!”
“John had my Bruno for over 2 weeks and he was wonderful. My dog is very attached to me and I worried about leaving him with a stranger. My Bruno quickly adopted John and he was treated better than John treats his own dogs. John sent me pictures with comical stories daily. I did feel like John became a little attached to my Bruno because he didn’t want him to leave. He even offered to trade 3 of his dogs for my 1 Bruno. I would highly recommend and would definitely use him again.”
“Cooper had a great time during his stay! We felt very comfortable leaving him here during the week and will definitely be booking again the next time we are out of town!”
“Ben, Shannon, Stahv and the whole family are absolutely fabulous! They provide a great family-away-from-home experience for our Poppy whenever she stays with them. Cannot recommend them more highly!!!”
“Lauren was wonderful and Winston was in such great hands. We got pictures of him and we knew he had become a part of their family during our trip. Winston gives his stay 5 stars too! Thank you Lauren!”
“Christianna really helped us out in a last minute bind over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was super accommodating and was willing to be flexible with our schedules. Plus our dog smelled good and clean when we picked him up. Will definitely use again. Thanks!”
“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.”
“We were so blessed to find Nicole to care for our pup over the weekend. It was his first time experiencing out of home overnight boarding so we were very nervous how he would do. She sent frequent updates with pictures of him playing with her sweet pups and going for regular walks which made me feel so much better! Although my pup was stressed, Nicole did everything possible to care for him and put him at ease. She even went above and beyond by washing his things and giving him a bath. I’m so appreciative of her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own!”
“Sara provided awesome care for Josie, our Moyen Poodle! She took her into her own home and together with Sara's two dogs they all got along very well. Josie got a lttle anxious one day and gnawed a little bit of door casing, Sara was very understanding and more concerned about Josie than the gnaw marks. We would recommend Sara for anyone looking for a caring, compassionate person to look after the dog they love! Respectfully, Gordon & Janet Galligan”
About: I have had my pup since I was 17 but she passed away over the summer.

I have a spacious house and yard, so enough room to run around or relax. I can accommodate your pet if needed, crate or not, it’s totally up to you.
“Eugene is a star! He was awesome with my little man - walking him a lot, huge fenced backyard, keeping me updated daily with pictures and information as to how things were going, etc. When I picked my buddy up he was in great spirits and clearly had been very comfortable. Five stars EASILY for Eugene and highly recommend.”
“I was very happy with Kathleen's service. I wanted input from my furbaby, Spike, about his stay, but he isn't very conversational! LOL But the picture Kathleen sent me of with him stretched out on her sofa, told me he was just fine. I'm look forward to working with her again in the future. Thanks, Kathleen!”
“Melanie and Addison treated our dogs just like their own. Because of this, I was able to actually enjoy vacation. They are amazing and our dogs were very well cared for.”
“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.”
“Jon has been a great sitter for Jinger, we're glad we found him. Our trips are better knowing she's being care for well. We truly appreciate Jon and 100% recommen him for your pet care. Thank you so much Jon!!!!”
“We dropped off our dog, Alfie, on our way to the outerbanks as our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs and we are so glad we booked with Kristin. Alfie had so much fun playing at their home and Kristin made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout the entire trip.”
“Rose was very accommodating .. it was a last minute decision to board our fur baby Tiko. She’s very personable & sweet, made me feel very comfortable with leaving my baby in her care … Tiko had a blast with her pets also .. would book her in a heartbeat anytime we r in town again ..”
“Great place for our baby to stay. They kept us updated with pictures and made sure she was comfy and well cared for in her old age. 100% will book again.”
“Ricardo and his family took great care of our fur babies and they're wonderful people. This was one of our dogs 2nd time with Ricardo so she remembered him and had no issues warming up. I was so nervous leaving my 14 year old Yorkie that is hard of hearing and has arthritis pretty bad. He does best being cared for at our home but Hurley did so good there. We will definitely be back!”

About: Hi, I’m Yanna! Most of my pet care experience has been with dogs, but I’m also comfortable caring for cats and following their normal routines. As a local babysitter and house sitter, I’m already used to being trusted in people’s homes and paying close attention to the details families leave for me. I’ve cared for pets in homes with cats before, including a family with three cats, and I’m also booked for a four-day house sit with two cats. I’ll also be helping a neighbor with cat feeding/check-ins. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats space when they need it. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and send updates so you know how they’re doing.
“Olivia was great doing drop-in’s for our cats! She did a FaceTime with me before since we lived further away and sent text updates and took some cute cat photos. She also grabbed our package that was left outside, without being asked. Overall was reliable and easy to work with!”
“We had to cut short our trip so Emily only had 2 visits to Molly but she kept us informed on how she was doing during that short time and Molly didn’t even miss us. I’m hoping Emily will be free when our trip is rescheduled but I hope she will be able to spend a little more time on the visit duration especially after the first few days when Molly will probably be looking for company and hugs.”

About: My family member, Sandy, was an adopted mixed german shepherd labrador retriever mutt, and a very large dog of mine for 13 years before her recent passing. I am a volunteer EMT for Virginia Beach EMS running rescue out of Princess Anne Courthouse for 3 years now. During the summer, I am a lifeguard supervisor employed by Virginia Beach EMS at Sandbridge Beach, in charge of 54 lifeguards and the safety of patrons for 4 miles of beach (I know a thing or two about watching people and making sure they are safe!). I am also a recent graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and hope to pursue a career in medicine. I am passionate about physical fitness! Having to uphold a strict standard of fitness while being a midshipman in VMI Naval ROTC has made me love outdoor recreation and especially long walks and runs wherever I can. Being Virginia Beach born and raised, I love the water and mostly surf in my free time or spend time with my family & friends by the water. I am currently not working and am only studying to take the MCAT (for medical school admissions), so I have plenty of free time aside from studying to have fun taking care of any furry family members. My home is completely fenced off and I have plenty of backyard for running! The tile flooring in my home makes it scratch proof and cools off any dog who lays on it.
About: Growing up, I've cared for dogs of all breeds. Given how much I actually enjoy what I do, I never think of it as a job. With reliable, thoughtful care, friendly and trustworthy customer service, I put people and their pets at ease. Offer pet sitting and care services in the comfort of the client's home, such as feedings and check-ins throughout the working day, cleaning of the litter box, kennel, and cage, overnight care, and long-term care during vacation. I work from 7a.m - 3p.m Monday through Friday. I am always free on the weekends and have holidays off. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced back yard for fur babies to play but I do prefer to take them to the park. I will communicate with the owners if they have specific rules/regulations and schedules for their fur babies so I can continue to abide by them.
“100 stars to Brandi for always taking such good care of my babies. I have hired her multiple times at this point, which I am grateful I was able to because she is in such high demand. I have a retired ex-racing greyhound who needs special care and a very sweet but very needy cat. I only feel comfortable leaving them with the best sitters and Brandi is really the best. She is responsible, loving, dependable, and very responsive. Also she takes the best pictures! Thank you again Brandi and I look forward to seeing you in the future!”

“Rose took good care of my Rocky for the day. She had a nice private, air-conditioned room for him with a fenced yard. She also sent me updates with photos during the day.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! 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.
“Georgia got the best care with Rachael & Garth- they sent a bunch of pictures though out the day too and we had a such a peace of mind knowing she was in good hands!”
“Christianna is wonderful! They are great with Copper, and she is usually always available late notice! I always receive pictures during the stay, and updates on food and potty breaks. Copper is always very excited when we arrive at Christianna's house, and he is always so happy when I pick him up. I would definitely recommend Christianna!!”
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.

“This family was great with my pomchi! They showed my puppy nothing but love and she loved them in return! I had to book with them last minute and they were okay with it and very flexible with their time and availability. I would definitely book again! Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years volunteering at the shelter and fostering. I have two dogs of my own so I have the experience with all different breeds and personality. ***If making a overnight house sitting request, I usually have to bring my two dogs*** I work full time from home but do have to go into the office some days for a few hours. I will crate dogs when leaving home every time for their safety. They will be loved and fed just like my own! Can provide excercise if needed, but will not exercise if it is to hot. I will only be taking dogs for boarding if they are crate trained. I am home a lot but I need to be able to leave for errands and for dogs safety, your dog needs to be crate trained.
“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.”
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. Our dog Penny, has recently passed however we would like to keep her pictures and memory alive on this profile*. Most days I'm up early and dont mind being active and taking morning walks. 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. Dropping off your pet at my place seems like the best but I'm open to stopping by your place if need be. One of us is almost always at home full time to care for your pup. 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.

We also have some experience training. We both work from home so someone is always home to care for your pet ! We prefer you to have a crate for your pet for nighttime use because we crate our own at night. We have a fenced in yard with plenty room for play and one young golden retriever who is extremely friendly and has yet to meet a dog he does not get along with.
“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.”
“What can I say about Lorraine’s daughters and husband who watched my furbaby yesterday!??!? They were absolutely AMAZING—10/10!!! I was 100 percent at peace after meeting this beautiful family and putting Sophie in their hands! I will definitely be booking with this family again and again!!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Yanna! I’m a local OBX babysitter, and a big part of my work is being someone families can trust in their homes. Along with caring for children, I’ve also cared for pets during house sits and vacation stays, so I’m very comfortable following routines, respecting someone’s space, and keeping pets cared for while their family is away. I have four dogs at home, so I’m used to the everyday things that come with pet care — feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up, keeping an eye on behavior, and giving lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow detailed notes and send photo updates so you feel comfortable while you’re gone. My schedule is created by me, so I’m able to plan ahead and make sure I have more than enough time for the pets I care for. Since I work as a local babysitter and house sitter, I’m used to managing my own bookings and only accepting jobs when I know I can fully commit. During house sits, drop-ins, or walks, I always make sure there is enough time for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, updates, and anything else your pet needs. I’m very respectful of each family’s home and each pet’s routine. During visits or house sits, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, crates, medication reminders, doors/gates, and any house rules. I like detailed notes and will always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“So glad I was able to connect with Carolyn. My dog warmed up to her right away! I felt so comfortable with Dallas in her care. As I type this my dog is watching her from the window ?. So thankful!!”
About: I just genuinely love animals. I’ve been around animals growing up my entire life so experience isn’t something I lack. I am very friendly, patient, caring and loving, and I will always put your pets before anything else as if they were my own. I offer each service the app provides and I’m open to additional services free of charge. I can provide constant updates via text or email, whatever is preferred. I promise you won’t be disappointed if you give me a chance so take a leap of faith with me and let my actions speak for me. If you wanna meet me beforehand I’d be open to that as well. I just want to make sure you are confident with me before you choose me.

“Communication was great! For our first time we felt so comfortable leaving our baby! I was a nervous wreck but was constantly comforted with messages and pictures! She was in great hands during our absence. When we left she was so excited to see us but also so sad to leave her new family. Looking forward to future visits. Thank you for taking great care of our girl and for being so flexible!”
“John had my Bruno for over 2 weeks and he was wonderful. My dog is very attached to me and I worried about leaving him with a stranger. My Bruno quickly adopted John and he was treated better than John treats his own dogs. John sent me pictures with comical stories daily. I did feel like John became a little attached to my Bruno because he didn’t want him to leave. He even offered to trade 3 of his dogs for my 1 Bruno. I would highly recommend and would definitely use him again.”
“Cooper had a great time during his stay! We felt very comfortable leaving him here during the week and will definitely be booking again the next time we are out of town!”
“Lauren was wonderful and Winston was in such great hands. We got pictures of him and we knew he had become a part of their family during our trip. Winston gives his stay 5 stars too! Thank you Lauren!”
“Christianna really helped us out in a last minute bind over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was super accommodating and was willing to be flexible with our schedules. Plus our dog smelled good and clean when we picked him up. Will definitely use again. Thanks!”
About: I have had my pup since I was 17 but she passed away over the summer. I have a lot of free time and love for animals. i’m currently working part-time so I would be able to play with your pup and take on boarding pretty much anytime, including weekends and holidays. I have a spacious house and yard, so enough room to run around or relax. I can accommodate your pet if needed, crate or not, it’s totally up to you.
“Melanie and Addison treated our dogs just like their own. Because of this, I was able to actually enjoy vacation. They are amazing and our dogs were very well cared for.”
“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.”
“Rose was very accommodating .. it was a last minute decision to board our fur baby Tiko. She’s very personable & sweet, made me feel very comfortable with leaving my baby in her care … Tiko had a blast with her pets also .. would book her in a heartbeat anytime we r in town again ..”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job with our pup! We received picture and message updates throughout the week which was really nice! Our pup and Elizabeth’s dog Sprinkles became good friends which was so sweet! We would definitely use Elizabeth again and would recommend her to others as well!”
“I'l admit I was very nervous leaving my dog Crosby, mainly because I never leave him and he's always with me. However a meet and greet with Adam put my mind at ease. A true family (home away from home) experience for your dog. They sent me pictures every day of Crosby's adventures and I had no doubt that between the kids and their other dogs he was being cared for and entertained. I would absolutely recommend Adam and his family for future dog parents looking for a sitter.”
About: I am a full time dog Mom. I have a 7 year old Corgi rescue. He is my heart. He spent a lot of time in a crate at his former home. His people didn't exercise him much so he became a very lazy boy. I want people to know that there are services available that can help with caring for their pets . I love to walk so I thought Rover would be a great place for me to help others get their pets the exercise they need. Dogs are my passion and I know people that work full time jobs still love their dogs but need help some days. I would love to help your dog get some exercise and love. Thank you
“Duke,Scooby,and Brittany loved their stay with Jenny. They especially loved being able to go in and out as they wanted. Duke and Scooby enjoyed their supervised swim times to the pond. We got to see Duke and Scooby swim before we left. We knew they were going to enjoy their stay. Pictures showed they were being themselves doing what they wanted to do.”
“Yet again my dogs had a lovely weekend with Kristin while I was out of town. They are both currently passed out at home from all the fun they had and I had 0 worries about them being taken care of while I was handling my travel hiccups.”
About: As a dog and cat owner myself I love all fur babies alike! I grew up with a few of each in the house at a time and have had my own since 2008. From walks, bathing and administering medicine to sending you frequent pictures and updates to ease your mind, it would be my pleasure to care for your pet in any capacity. Whether you're going on vacation or just need a lunch time walk while you're at work, please don't hesitate to reach out. I have not cared for animals other than cats and dogs but am open to the opportunity. My children are in school and I am not currently working, so my availability is fairly open. I would love to fill it with walks and pets of all your sweet animals! I have a fenced yard so I am open to hosting an animal in my home as long as they get along with both dogs and cats as we have one of each. Boarding will be on a case by case basis and I prefer them to meet my dog prior to staying. We have a lab so he absolutely loves any animal of any size!
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! 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.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, including recently providing hospice-level care for my paralyzed Great Dane. His care required constant attention, patience, mobility assistance, and adapting to his changing needs each day. I even modified a wheelchair for him so he could continue enjoying walks and time outside comfortably until he passed. That experience deepened my understanding of how important trust, attentiveness, and compassion are when someone leaves their dog in another person’s care. Whether your dog is young and energetic, anxious, senior, or needs extra patience and support, I treat them with the same level of care and attention I would want for my own. I’m dependable, communicative, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs — not just “checking a box” for walks or visits. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, so walks and one-on-one attention are something I look forward to. Because I work from home, I’m also able to closely monitor pets, stick to feeding or medication schedules, and provide updates and communication so owners feel comfortable while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I adjust my care based on their needs — whether that’s long walks and playtime, calm companionship, extra patience with anxiety, or slower-paced senior care. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I follow feeding schedules closely, make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and attention, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pet is doing well. Because of my experience caring for my paralyzed Great Dane, I’m also very attentive to details and comfortable with dogs who may need extra support, patience, or monitoring. My goal is always for pets to feel secure, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.
