Highly-rated overnight sitters - Chesapeake
“Madison is wonderful. It was easy to communicate with her. She was quick to respond to any questions I had. I felt totally comfortable leaving Speck with her. She sent photos and videos regularly. He had had a really fun time. I would highly recommend and plan to hire her again.”
“Rachel was fantastic and her family loved having Bear spend a few days with him. She sent pictures and updated me daily. Her and her family really care for your pet like it is their own. Will use her again!”
“Summer took great care of Lemmy! We got regular photos, she did a great job with his meds, and she was very patient with us in our first time using Rover. Summer, her family, and her own pets were great to our temperamental little chihuahua. Can’t thank her enough!”
“We just love Laura! Our girl Morgan loves her girl Boo so much. They have so much fun playing together. Laura is awesome about keeping us updated during Morgan's stay. We love that she sends us pictures along with her updates. Would hate if she stopped taking such good care of our girl!”
“This was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter and it could not have gone better. Jane was excellent and sent me daily updates and photos. I had always used the bougie dog boarding places previously and my puppers would always come home stressed. This time, with Jane, it was completely different. They were stress free and relaxed. I would absolutely request dog sitting from Jane again. Thanks so much!!”
“Christina is AMAZING! We were in a tight spot and needed to extend Charlie’s stay with her unexpectedly and Christina was so accommodating and flexible and was quick to not only keep Charlie and extra day but bring her home as well. She is truly 5 ⭐️. So very grateful for her and how she cares for Charlie!!”

“Josie took this booking REALLY last minute (like 6 am day of) after we got delayed flying home. She stopped in before she went to work and made sure everyone had food and was okay. Her flexibility to fit this into her schedule was wonderful and helped us out so much. We love her taking care of our cats and the cats love her even more!”
“Kimberly was great! She was communicative from the get go and flexible when a mishap on our trip and caused some delays. Hank enjoyed his stay very much, and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Duke was well cared for during his stay with Haley. I appreciated the communication and updates. Duke seemed to feel at home right away and enjoyed playing with her 2 dogs for the weekend. He was wagging his tail and smiling when I showed up to pick him up. I would definitely recommend.”
About: I offer over 13 years of hands-on experience within the performance horse industry and have been formally employed as a dedicated horse caretaker and groom since 2019. As an Equine Science major with a background working as a veterinary receptionist, I bring an advanced understanding of equine wellness, handling, and behavioral needs. Whether managing daily stable routines, monitoring herd health, or ensuring top-tier care for performance horses, I provide highly dependable, professional, and knowledgeable oversight for your animals. I have had personal experience with multiple dog breeds, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, and fish. I’m currently working a part-time job that is 5 minutes from my house, so I’ll be close to my home at all times and have flexibility with my schedule. I have home with land ranging at 9 acres that is in the county and away from other people. I also have a 3 year old female Aussiedoodle who is great with children & other dogs/animals, and is also updated on vaccines.
“Chelsea was great with our dog, Donny! We boarded Donny at Chelsea’s house while we were out of town. Chelsea was quick to respond to texts, very friendly, and professional . She offered to pick up and drop off Donny, which was very helpful. Donny had a great stay and was well cared for and happy. I definitely recommend Chelsea! We will use her services again in the future.”

“Anna did a great job taking care of my cats. She kept me informed, communicated how they were doing twice daily, and was reliable and punctual. I enjoyed getting her updates with candid photos of my cats!”
About: I have had dogs and various pets in my household since I was born and adore any animal. I am experienced in caring for puppies, senior dogs, and both large and small breeds. I understand that each pet has different needs and personalities and love helping to make a loving and safe space for them while their people are away. I am currently a full time Biology student at Marshall University. I can walk/check in on your pet(s) in the mornings, midday, or in the evenings. I am available to stay with your pet any nights. I will follow any instructions and schedule given. I like to make sure that pets get plenty of play and interaction time during the day and make it a priority to spend day time with your pets.
“Madison was extremely helpful and flexible! Agreeing to help last minute!! It was greatly appreciated. She even helped me out with checking to make sure I turned off my iron! I would highly recommend!”
About: Though I have never had a cat of my own, I have taken care of several friends’ cats when they have been out of town since I was in middle school. I understand that some cats need special care and am always ready to provide that, especially since I am hoping to go to vet school and am always interested in learning how to keep our animals healthy.
“Brittany was so great!! We've used A LOT of Rover sitters over the years and Brittany has been one of the best! We appreciated the adorable photos and detailed updates. It really helped us to enjoy our time away more knowing our kitties were safe and well-cared for at home!”
“Savannah takes great care of my 15 year old kitty when I go out of town. She comes twice a day to feed my cat and give her insulin shots. I gives me huge peace of mind knowing Savannah is taking care of my baby when I’m out of town. She is kind and friendly and my kitty loves her!”
“With having just recently moved to West Virginia and this being our first time using Rover, we were extremely nervous leaving our kitties for this trip. But Josie and Jake gave us sooo much peace of mind. They were absolutely AMAZING, went above and beyond, like I cannot emphasize enough how great they were! They treated our furballs like their own (even though Misha made them partake in hide & seek competitions every visit), followed their schedules (food, medications, extra directions, etc.) perfectly, and always provided humorous but informative notes and pictures every check-in. We will 100% be booking with them again!”
About: I provide attentive, personalized care for cats of all personalities—from the social butterflies who want constant attention to the shy ones who prefer to observe from a safe distance. My professional animal-care experience has given me extensive knowledge of animal body language and behavior, allowing me to recognize when a cat is comfortable, stressed, overstimulated, or simply asking for some space. I believe cats deserve care on their terms, and I always take the time to build trust rather than forcing interaction. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including specialized medications and injections, making me comfortable caring for cats with additional medical needs. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, litter box habits, and overall demeanor so I can keep you informed about how your cat is doing. Whether your cat needs feeding, playtime, enrichment, medication, litter care, or simply some quiet companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with patience, respect, and plenty of love. 🐱❤️
“Andrea (Annie) was prompt every day, sent regular photos and communication! Our pets got top shelf care and were in excellent condition when we got back home!! Andrea will be our go to sitter from now on!!”
About: I’ve taken care of almost every animal imaginable, growing up we had three dogs, a cat, two birds, chickens, fish, a mini pig, you name it! I come from a very animal loving household. I’m also a zoo science major so I’m sure to take good care of your baby! I have a dog and two fish of my own, my Shorkies name is Clementine and my two fish are Thorfin and Goob. I’m currently an online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home and available with your pets throughout the day. I’m available most days and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and pet-sitting needs. The only time I’m unavailable is Wednesdays from 2:00–3:30 PM due to a class. Back at my house we have a fenced area for our dogs to run around in but I’ve also crate trained dogs as well. At college my Clementine is crate trained and I take her for walks daily & often.
About: I’ve been recommended to many by word of mouth, so I decided to bring my business to Rover as well! There’s nothing I love more than being able to provide comfort for your pets whenever you’re away. Me and your pets will go on walks, play dates, and anything else they enjoy! Be prepared for lots of photos of us enjoying our days together! I am working part time while in graduate school. Ideally, I am available for overnight stays, whether it be for the weekend or two weeks! I also have sitter backups for any extra care needed in which I’m not able to tend to. I’m currently in graduate school at Morehead State in Ky and will be commuting twice weekly until May. I haven’t dog sat in my own home before because I have 2 dogs and a pig of my own. Caring for your home and pets is what is most important to me! I will always be easy to reach, whether it be by phone, text, or FaceTime! I will also water your plants, pick up your mail, take out the trash, etc.
About: I used to be a kennel technician who walked dogs, practiced training, while offering playtime for them and cleaning up their space. I’ve always loved caring for animals and wildlife and want to branch out on my own. I have a very flexible schedule right now, all that’s needed is to message me and see how our availabilities line up! I integrate your pets life into mine. I have a variety of treats and food on hand, but will follow whatever diet your dog needs. I also have the time for high energy dogs or dogs that need training through e-collars or etc. I also own lots of toys and a large crate, or litter box if need be. If you have any more specific questions please ask!
“Chloe is the best sitter ever! She gave us piece of mind while doing excellent work. She made her last visit right before we returned home so the boxes and bowls would be tidy. She gave extra attention to our cats. Booking her is the best option out there. Highly recommend”
“Haley was amazing with our cat, he can be very shy but she took the time to get him to trust her and he absolutely loved her! We’d love to rebook her in the future to take care of our cat.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chesapeake
“Summer is great with Aggie. My dog is a heeler and high energy at times. Summer has taken her to the dog park, gone on rides, and sends pictures that show Aggie is enjoying her time there”
“Christina was wonderful with Asher. He is so nervous around new people and he was snuggling with her in no time. She’ took wonderful care of him and updated with pictures. Could not be more thankful.”
“We used Haley’s daycare service for the first time and let me tell you she is a sweetheart. She and her dog are very friendly. She sent me pics throughout the day which made me felt comfortable. When I picked up Cookie, Haley provided a sweet summary of how much fun they had. Highly recommended!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner, caring for pups is second nature to me. I know exactly how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I prioritize clear communication, frequent updates, and plenty of personalized attention. From daily walks and interactive playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to match your dog's specific personality and energy level. I look forward to treating your beloved pet like a member of my own family. I currently stay at Home so I am available any time of the day. This allows me to easily accommodate custom feeding, walking, and medication schedules. I have a small yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My yard is not fenced, so I always take guests on guided walks and trips to the local park for secure, energetic exercise. My pet is a miniature poodle who loves to play and cuddle. For bedtime, guests can sleep comfortably right in my bedroom or use a dedicated spare room depending on their routine.

Monday through Friday I am available from 11am to 1pm, and any time after 3:30 pm. Saturday & Sunday I am available from 6am to 10:30pm with exceptions if needed! In a clients home I let the animals do what they would do on a regular day if owners were home, while still closesly monitoring to be sure they stay safe and behaved!

“I loved that she came ready to discuss and write down all details about the dogs. She’s prompt, communicative, and my dogs took right to her. It’s been hard to find someone reliable and consistent and I’ve found that in Brittany.”
About: Since I was five years old when we adopted our family puppy, I have been involved in taking care of dogs. I have also over 350 hours of shelter volunteer experience in walking dogs, giving medications, and obedience training. Since I am hoping to be a vet one day, I am always wanting to meet new animals and give them the best care possible! I currently work part-time, 3-5 days a week from 8-4. I can usually get away to let your dog out at lunch if needed. Bottom line is if I am pet-sitting for you, your animal will be my priority! I do not have the capacity to care for your pet in my house, but I can provide whatever level of care you need in for your pet in your own home! If you need me to stay the night, I can do that. I am a detail-oriented person so whatever your pet needs I feel confident I can provide it.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have cared for pets for most of my life. I’ve also helped friends and family with pet sitting on multiple occasions.

I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I attend school Monday–Friday and am available after 3 PM on weekdays. I’m completely free on weekends, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I stick to their normal routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they get lots of love and attention while also keeping them safe and supervised. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of their space. I’m happy to send updates and pictures so you always know your pet is happy!
About: I am looking to provide love and care to your fur babies when you aren’t able to. I have two fur babies of my own currently and have had many in the past. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all different shapes and sizes! I look forward to meeting your fur babies and caring for them like my own. I work as a bus driver so between my morning and evening run I have plenty of time to make stop ins and check on pet and/or take them for a walk. My partner works from home which provides a flexible schedule. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to care for your pets in my home due to our young children. However, your pets safety and comfort will be a top priority for me when coming into your home to care for them.
