Jessica was so loving and kind with our dog. She sent us pictures and updates about our dog every day and let us know how she was doing. When we returned to pick our dog up, she was happy and well taken care. We will definitely book Jessica’s services again to look after our dog.

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!

Lauryn and her family are such sweet people and Finn loved being with him. He got all the attention he needed and he came home calm I could tell he was comfortable with his caretakers. Their home was very clean and dog friendly. Lauryn was very communicative and I was assured through meaningful pics and texts that Finn was just fine and enjoying his stay. I am so grateful to have found her. Thank you so much for making our boarding experience a great success.

I usually never leave reviews, but Julie and Kenneth have been the best thing to happen to us for puppy care. We were updated often throughout the day and throughout the duration of our Tater Tot's stay. I love that our puppy was able to have a playmate to socialize with and learn from, even while he was away from us and his usual training. It really broke my heart to leave him for the first time while on vacation, but now I don't feel the slightest bit nervous about leaving him with them for future vacations and I know Tater is also anticipating his next stay to see his little friend! He is definitely in great hands!

This was the longest I have ever been away from Simba (8 days)…he started off slow but Priscilla took care of him as if he was her own. She didn’t hide the fact that he was sad the 1st night…many sitters would have just said he is doing great. She made him feel at home and loved on him like I would. I appreciate Priscilla’s commitment and would highly recommend her for your pet.

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.

About: Hello! I am a lifelong cat lover with years of hands on experience caring for cats, and I would be so excited to care for yours. I cannot remember a day where I have not owned a cats. I have multiple “foster fails.” I’ve volunteered at the Isle of Wight County Animal Shelter, socializing cats and taking pictures of the animals for the county Facebook page. I have pet sat for neighbors as well. I currently have five cats of my own, and they are my babies. My experience has taught me a lot about building trust and caring for kitties of all ages. I know every cat has their own personality, preferences, and routine. No matter if your cat is social and playful or shy and needs a patient approach, I am happy to meet them where they are. I treat every cat like one of my own. They will feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know every cat has a different personality, so I take the time to care for them in a way that fits their needs. That can mean playtime, cuddles, calm company, or simply giving them space. I like to send lots of updates and photos so you always know how your baby is doing. Please message me so we can set up a meet and greet! ♥️🐈🐈‍⬛

DeHaven and Ashlee are Wonderful!!🤩 This was the first time I have left my kiddos with someone other than family. Naturally, I was a little anxious at the thought of arranging it, but that quickly changed once I met them. They took the time to do a meet and greet, and I was instantly confident in my choice and felt totally at peace. They are great with communicating, wonderful with animals (to include the outdoor feathered ones), went above and beyond and even sent pics to us while we were gone!! I just can’t say enough great things about them and the whole experience!! Will definitely use them again!! Thank you Ashlee!!😊

About: Animals have always been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home where there were always dogs and cats around, caring for them wasn’t just a responsibility, it was part of daily life. Over the years, I have personally raised and cared for three dogs of my own, each with different personalities and needs, which taught me patience, structure, and how to connect with animals on an individual level. Most recently, I adopted another dog into the family, adding even more joy and playful to the house. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I have experienced it all training, playtime, feeding routines, crate care, walks, and of course, lots of cuddles. Whether your pet is shy or social, active or relaxed, we understand how to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I have a partner who has been pet sitting for her friends and co-workers last 4 years. I work at shipyard, but my work is pretty flexible that I can check out our dogs or any other pet frequently to make sure they receive enough attention love and most importantly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment where dogs can relax and be themselves. I have a fully fenced big yard for safe outdoor play, and I supervise all interactions to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to crate preferences and bedtime habits — so they feel right at home. I never use harsh corrections; instead, I rely on positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance. I also keep my home clean, pet-proofed, and free of anything unsafe. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, we make sure they always feel safe, respect. I will keep sending regular updates and pictures or videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands

I could rave about how absolutely amazing Samantha was with my Khaleesi for hours, but I’ll keep it short for reading purposes. My dog Khaleesi is a high anxiety dog and does not do well with strangers and typically hides from them. Samantha had her during the day for 3 days, and from day 1 Khaleesi took right to her. It did take some warming up time, but Samantha kept me very updated and sent pictures throughout the day. By the end of the 3 days, Khaleesi was walking into Samantha’s house without hesitation and didn’t even turn around to look at me. Samantha is incredible and I highly recommend her!!!!

I work from home and set hours as you need me. I'm available on short notice if I know you. Otherwise, I prefer a meet and greet with new customers. Details are important for all of us. For Drop-In Visits, what is comfortable for your animal is what I do. We can do playtime or just feed/water/love. Puppies can use me for mountain climbing and senior dogs find me a restful friend. I work with cats as well as dogs and am not afraid of keeping a litterbox clean. Also, if you have any tentative travel plans for 2026; please let me know as soon as possible. I hate turning people down but I already have week long overnight bookings scheduled every month into thru May. I would be glad to block out dates while you firm up your plans, if needed. My work zone is limited - I try to only take jobs within a ***3 MILE radius of CEDAR LANE*** - so I can focus on each pet instead of driving all over the place. If you ask any of my regulars, you will find I can (and have been) called in on an emergency with no hesitation. I only take 1 drop-in on days I have my regular or 3 drop ins on my ‘free’ days. Sittings are a case by case basis but if your pet will work with me, I would love to work with them. I will book as far as 12 MONTHS in advance if you need me. I work my schedule around your pets. Any questions, I will be glad to answer. For clarification - Drop-ins are scheduled between 9 am and 8pm. My phone only works during these hours unless I am sitting your pet. House/Pet sittings can be during the day or an overnight stay. Usually, Day shift is 9am to 5 pm but I am willing to work with you as your schedule requires. Walks and sittings are different things. But I will gladly work with you if you give me advance notice. Overnight stays are usually 8-10pm as needed to 8am. Please ask if you need a different schedule during reservation. If I know in advance, I’m glad to work with you and your pet(s). Hope this helps, I’ve gotten a lot of questions lately. 😉 I am so sorry my rates have gone up but gas and insurance is killing me as an independent contractor. I am willing to give discounts on multi day visits or long stays if you work with me. Thank you! 😊 This is my job and I love it. Meeting and spending time with new animals is a joy. I'm building my business through word of mouth so you have all my attention. Let me be of help. I answer text/calls between 9am and 11pm unless I am driving, working with someone, or out of town. My catch up day is Monday so if I do not have furry friends to visit and if I'm slow to answer, it’s because I'm covered in my dogs and cannot move. (They are little but insistent.) or running my many errands. I WILL respond to every request even if you are not in my zone. But I cannot respond while working or at church. You and your furry family are important to me, please let me prove it. I'm always willing to do drop ins and dog sitting. I love doing house sitting stays as it lets your pet be comfortable in his/her own space and keep to their schedule. I will follow your rules meticulously! Please feel free to contact anyone I have worked with, I'm very proud of the reviews I've been given. I will work with you and your pet to get the same happy review. I limit my work area so I spend more time with your pet and not traveling. Overnight covers a 10-12 hour period such as 8 pm to 8am.

About: I used to have another rover account and dog watching was my full time job for about 3 years. I quit for a little bit but now I am a stay at home mom and have a 4 1/2 year old golden who loves everyone and just wants some friends to play with. I am a stay at home mom and have a dog of my own so adding a few more never hurts. My golden daisy is my child she is so spoiled and if you trust me with your dog they will be too. She is full of energy and loves all dogs and people haha. She does not know what stranger danger is. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I am also able to split up my house to have dogs in separate areas when they need a break from each other. This will be my full time job aside from being a mom so I am always home.

We took our puppy pitbull over for a day and it was great! It was our first time using rover and leaving our little girl and they were very understanding and sweet with any questions we had. Michelles hunband greeted us right at the door and started playing with our dog. The other dogs they had there were very sweet as well. We got pictures of our dog running around outside and when we picked her up she went straight to sleep you could tell she had a good day. Would definitely recommend especially for people doing this for the first time.

They adhered to providing him a couple dedicated crate naps daily. Would def use Vianca again! Thank you!

About: Hi! My name is Fallon and I am here to give loving, patient, reliable care to your pets. I have been around animals my whole life. This includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I enjoy all of them. I have previously worked as a vet assistant . I am a frequent visitor to the Isle of Wight animal shelter, where i walk the dogs. I have also fostered both cats and dogs and found them their forever homes. I am patient, loving, reliable and have experience handling all types of breeds. Please contact me for your animal needs . Thank you! I’m a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I am available mostly in the mornings when my kids are in school and can do some afternoons Safety and trust with dogs come from understanding their behavior and creating a calm, respectful environment. When people interact gently, respect a dog’s space, and pay attention to signs of stress, dogs are more likely to feel secure and respond positively. Consistent routines, supervision—especially around children—and clear boundaries help build trust, reduce fear, and keep both people and dogs safe.

About: Hi there! My name is Connor and I have been working in the animal care field for 6 years. Not unlike my clients in the grooming salon, I ensure every animal under my responsibility is comfortable, happy, and healthy. As a former groomer I am very well versed in animal first aid and animal care including, but not limited to: Bathing, nail trimming, nail buffing, teeth brushing, and nutrition. If say you have a husky who sheds every where in your house, I am willing to perform grooming on your dog to sure they stay comfortable and your house stays clean. I look forward to working with you and please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you! Being that I am a pet parents of 5 animals myself, I understand that every animal is different and I cater to those needs, whether a people-shy Rottweiler, or a clingy pug, I ensure everyone has enough attention! I ensure that the treats and reward systems I use make them happy and excited to see me again. An example would be an old basset hound that would always run out to see me because I had his favorite treats and a husky to run around with him.

About: About Georgia I’ve shared my life with cats and dogs for 40+ years, and I treat every pet like family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or cozy snuggles, your fur baby will be treated like the king or queen they are. I’m a former teacher with 24 years in the classroom, which means I’m patient, dependable, and great at following directions. I carefully read and follow your care instructions—because you know your pet best. Whether I’m visiting in your home or heading out for a walk, I’ll keep your routines and preferences front and center. What you can expect • Clear communication and photo updates • Gentle, positive handling and lots of affection • Respect for your home and routines • Careful attention to meds, feeding, and safety notes Experience & skills • 40+ years with dogs & cats (from shy seniors to bouncy puppies/kittens) • Comfortable with basic meds, special diets, and quirky routines • Strong leash manners and calm redirection on walks Before we book Please share your pet’s routine, any health needs, favorite games, and anything that makes them nervous or extra happy. The more I know, the better I can make them feel at home while you’re away. Animals have always been part of my everyday life. Caring for them is second nature to me—it’s something I look forward to. I plan my days around feeding, walking, and playtime, making sure each pet gets plenty of attention and affection. I’m currently taking a break from full-time teaching, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet my full attention and stick closely to their routine. When caring for pets, my first priority is always safety and comfort. I take time to get to know each animal’s personality, routine, and any special needs before our time together.

In your home, I make sure pets feel relaxed and secure by keeping their familiar environment and routines intact. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and treat your home with the same care I give to your pets.

I have a cat and a bunny who are friendly and love meeting new pets! My cat Oliver is a loving and cool "big bro" and my bunny Lucy will keep everyone happy and energetic! I know its hard to leave those precious babies home alone while you work all day so let me be their "best friend" when you need the help! I am an Insurance Agent so I work from home most of the week. I have my weekends off but I have time during the week to care for your pets in between meetings and in the evenings. I am not hosting at the moment due to renovations in my home, but I will gladly come to your home to take out your pets or to feed and keep them company while you are away on business or holiday. I am willing to stay at your residence to care for your pets if accommodations are available. I will be willing to wash and perform light grooming if needed and take them where you'd like with and other amenities your pet may need. All can be discussed and negotiated for the situation.

I am willing to be flexible with a schedule that works for you and your pet. I am an early riser so if you need a morning drop in or a walk, I would be happy to provide you that service. Given it is summertime I am also available for evening walks once the heat of the day has cooled down. At the time I currently do not offer in-home pet services, but will happily come by your residence to care for your pet. I strive to create a sense of normalcy for your pet while you are away whether that be two cuddle them on the couch or play fetch in the backyard.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young. I love all breeds of dogs and I also have trained 2 of my own dogs for obedience and hunting competitions. I enjoy every minute I get to spend with these awesome pets! I am currently going to school part-time to be a nurse so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! Currently my school is online for the summer so your pet will have my full attention!! My home has a 1 acre backyard so plenty of space for your pet to play if you want them to come to my house! I have 2 friendly labs that would love to make friends or if your pet likes one-on-one time, my dogs can stay home and I can come to you!

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!

I've never been so pleased with a family that has taken care of our dogs. Lisa, and her family, did such a fabulous job making Sissy feel like part of the family. It's nice to know that I don't have to worry when we travel about our poochie.

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.

Thank you Crystal for taking care of Oz and Lily. She is very thorough with the process and explains well what to expect. My dogs warmed up and felt really comfortable with her throughout the stay. We appreciate the photos, videos, and updates of our dogs throughout the day. I will definitely be using her for future boarding.

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!

We had our two rescues in Cassandra’s care and felt completely at ease with her watching our two pups during our mini-Vaca. From photos and videos, to updates on how their days went, we were always informed and could tell how much love is shared in Cassandra’s home. She and her family took care of them like they were her own. I cannot recommend her enough!
