“Maria and Matthew were absolutely the best Rovers to trust with our Frenchie. They took such great care of him and truly made him feel right at home. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“This was our second time having Cassie and Tradd watch our dog while we were in vacation and we can’t recommend them enough! He ran right in, so excited to be there, and we always appreciate all the updates they send. Definitely the best home away from home for our fur child ❤️”
“Lauren and her wonderful family are the very best sitters and genuinely love dogs. This is Ollie's second time visiting, and I know he's happy and loved; he always has a blast playing with Lauren's dog, Milo. Thank you!”
“I had an amazing experience with Beverly ! She took care of my dog for a full week and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she keep me updated regularly with pictures , but my dog was clearly happy and well-cared for the entire time. On the 6th day, she even gave him a bath. It’s such a relief to know your pet is in good hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Exceptional! Super communicative and clearly took care of Hanzo like he was their own. Incredibly happy with how well they took care of him! Will absolutely book again!”
“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.”
“This was the 1st time my cocoa was away from home. Normally I have someone stay at my house with my dogs but this isn't going to be the case this year. She got to do the doggy day care for a day to see how she will do. She did fine. She sat with Shannon in her office (I received a picture), she got along with her dogs. There were no complaints or concerns when my husband picked her up. She will continue to go for daycare until our vacation. Highly recommend Shannon, she's great!”
“Lily had another wonderful stay with Amanda! I'm pretty sure she thinks of it as her home away from home. : ) From the pics I can see Lily makes herself right at home there and looks so happy and comfy. We are so grateful for Amanda and all the attention she gives Lily to make her feel so welcomed in her home.”
“As usual, Hector was so happy being with Amber and Dan! They took a perfect care of him, sending us pictures and concerns. Amber and Dan are just perfect, allowing dogs living their best playtime during the time we have to travel.”
“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.”
“Had the best experience! And the fact that she was able to accept a last minute booking was sooo wonderful! My fur baby was well taken care of ☺️ Would recommend! 10/10”
“It was a great experience booking Nanook with Kathleen. I would recommend her highly and I'm definitely going back. I can see the entire time that Nanook was having a good time. Kathleen genuinely loves dogs and it shows. Five stars!!!”
“I would definitely recommend Stacy. Bentley enjoyed his time with her. She sent pictures and gave updates so I knew he was in good hands. She super responsive , definitely rebooking 😊!”
“This was the best home for Sanji!!! You can tell this family loves animals and Sanji was the happiest here. Trust that Renata and her family will love you pet as their own.❤️”
“I'm very picky about who I'll leave my 13-year old pup with. Michelle definitely put my mind at ease with her professionalism and expertise in caring for senior dogs. She is clearly committed to providing exceptional care for our 4-legged family members. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Tina did an excellent job caring for my two year old Bichon Frise. It was her first time staying the night at Tina’s house and she did a great job making her feel comfortable. Tina has excellent communication skills and her calm demeanor helped my pup get acclimated to her house during her stay.”
“Melanie is amazing! Not only does she provide photos throughout the day, but she is genuinely interested in your pet’s health and happiness. She made a great recommendation to help get our pup back to eating, after struggling for months to eat regularly. I highly recommend!”
“Kobie was very communicative, sent daily videos of the dogs and was understanding of some change in flight plans for my wife and I! One of our dogs has special needs and he took care of him for us. Would definitely recommend!”
“Julianne provided an extraordinary care for Molly while we were away. She was constantly updating us on how Molly’s day was going. She is loving, warm, and welcoming. We will definitely book her again and would recommend her to care for fur babies.”

“What can I say about Irina to really convey the level of care, attention, and love shown to our fur baby. She is always on time, communicates exactly what happened during the visit, send videos and pictures of interactions, concerns, and overall interaction between her and your babies. She has even gone so far as to bring in our mail when the postal service neglected to close the box properly. A five star review does not begin to show the amount of stress relief knowing she is there provides. Will always recommend and will be using on all future travels. Thank you Irina. 🤗”
“I am soooo pleased with Haley and the care she gave to my cats!!!!! I came home to happy, fat cats with fresh water and clean litter boxes, and I so appreciate the sweet updates and pics that she sent everyday. I will definitely request her again and recommend her to my friends and neighbors! Thank you Haley!!!!!”
“This is our first time using Rover. We wanted someone who was mature and responsible and Jeanne was a great fit. She was prompt and caring from the start. She sent messages and pictures every time and followed the details of our instructions. She was also thoughtful and thorough in how she cared for our kitty. We especially appreciate Jeanne giving time and space for our kitty to warm up to her and make sure she was comfortable with interaction. We recommend Jeane!”
“Jazmin did great watching my 3 cats. She even made our skittish one comfortable enough to come out and be friendly. She made sure to send photos and give updates. I would recommend Jazmin and will look to book her again when out of town!”
“Jordan was awesome! She took care of our cats for a few days. I was so impressed to see that even our shyest cat would come out and greet her. Will definitely book her services again!”
“Teresa is amazing and I will definitely ask her to watch my cat again. She is very communicative and I felt very comfortable having her care for my cat. I definitely recommend asking Teresa to care for your animals!”
“Anna is a great cat sitter. This was Peppe’s first time with someone new. My boy felt safe and loved during my time away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She followed every instruction I left, respected my home, and truly went above and beyond. She brought her own toys to keep my cats entertained, which I really appreciated, and she kept me updated with excellent communication throughout the entire booking. I loved receiving the many pictures she sent because they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my pets and treated them like her own. I came home to happy cats, and everything was exactly as I had left it. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will definitely be booking with Sarah again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and caring!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of professional experience working in animal shelters and caring for animals of all personalities and needs. As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat is unique—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence and care on their own terms. I currently share my home with two cats, so I know how important it is to have someone reliable checking in while you're away. During visits, I'll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention, playtime, or cuddles if they want it. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your feline family members. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I'll treat them with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your cat!
“I told Stephanie that she can check on my cats any time as long as 1 was in the morning and 1 at night while I went away for the weekend. She actually followed the schedule I put to the tee and updated me the entire time I was gone. Thank you so much for caring for my 3 cats!”
“Alyssa M. provided the best service we've experienced prior and during our vacation in our history of Vacationing! A very professional and compassionate care provider, she allayed our concerns when she came to our house for our introduction. This is the first time we've been happy with the care of our babies during vacation which allowed us to have a stress free, worry free vacation. Alyssa is a great professional and we are scheduling her to set for our babies, during for our next Vacations! She's a 5.0 in my book!”
“Nick was so nice. He took great care of Pebbles, arriving early in the morning and in the afternoon for her feeding. She’s pretty low maintenance but we think she was probably lonely and Nick paid her close attention and gave her lots of love when he stopped by, which we appreciated. The updates were great and unobtrusive and we appreciated the photos. We’ll be happy to book him again for our next trip.”
About: My love for all creatures - big and small, includes our furry, clawed and meowing babies too! My experience caring for cats maybe less than my experience with dogs, but my love and care for them is no less! I have fostered kittens with Chesapeake Animal Services, and quickly found out that these adorable and agile little ones are a hoot! We are currently keeping my friends' mane coon tabby mix kitten (1 1/2 years old). He has been living with us since the beginning of June 2026. He is equal parts snuggle baby and mischief maker LOL wrapped up in the size of a bobcat LOL. I am very experienced with all the care that comes with kittens - feeding, litter box cleaning, grooming and playing :) !
“Jasmine was phenomenal! She provided wonderfully thorough updates about my cat, letting me know her behavior and sending me a lot of pictures (some of my cat being silly and some nice ones too). I feel very lucky to have hired Jasmine for her excellent service because I booked last second and needed to extend the length of cat sitting. Thank you so much, Jasmine!”
“Bethany was very accommodating for a last minute change. Prompt with all her scheduled visits. One of our dogs doesn’t like strangers but warmed up quickly to her which says a lot. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I have been watching peoples pets since I was thirteen, and have found much joy in getting to know new animals and their individual needs. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have lots of available throughout the week! I am free on both weekdays and weekends! I do not have the ability to care for animals in my own home; however, when taking care of peoples pets in their own home, I will do so in a manner that does not cause any disruption.

“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!”
“So thankful I found Bethany and her family! I had an issue with a previous sitter and I was nervous about finding another. Jax had the best time with them at doggy day care yesterday and today. I loved that I got multiple updates throughout the day, and a cute report card at the end! I know my baby is well taken care of with them!”
“Rachel is great!! She was thorough with communications. I was on a tight schedule and we decided to meet up for the drop off and pick up. She was on time and ready to go! Ziggy is still very much a puppy and has a ton of energy. He spent the day with Rachel and I could tell he had so much fun because he was happy and healthy, but completely worn out. Thanks so much to Rachel for taking great care of my pup. Highly recommend!!!”

In addition to caring for my own pets, I've also provided care for a friend's senior dog while they were away on vacation, giving me experience with the extra patience and attention older dogs often need.

I can trim nails, wash them, clean their ears, etc... Evening walks around the neighborhood are great!
“Irina was so lovely to have walk my timid dog. Her reports are so thorough and she even provides videos! She also was so kind to my cats when meeting them and during her visits despite the fact she wasn’t hired for them. 😅😂 I wouldn’t hesitate to have her walk my dog in the future. Thank you again, Irina!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My first actual pet I got to call my own was a cockapoo puppy named Duke, he was my first lap dog too. However, don’t let my baby fool you I have also had hounds that screamed and ran across the yard and the house. I am experienced with cats and dogs with special needs to. My grandmothers and friends animals all have had dietary or medical needs that I never mind having to help take care of. My passion is loving animals and making sure they live a happy life. Trust that your fur baby will be in safe and caring hands. I am just recently out of the military working as a kitchen supervisor on city cruises. It can get boring and lonely, so I have decided on my free time to give my services to those who might need someone to pop their head in and check on their babies or fully stay if needed. I have an apartment that is in a fenced in area in Portsmouth Va. I’m open to any sized dog and will take them out as much as they would need. I live near a park and that’s where I would walk your special. If you have a loving feline you can trust I will not book them with any canines for their mental health and safety unless you have two pets out more that have lived together I will not take in more than one animal at a time.

About: I have always loved animals of all kinds since I was a child. Any little creature, I would quickly take in and care for. The most precious of all was our sweet mini longhair black and tan dachshund - Willow (aka Snoozy and Lovey), who for 16 beautiful, snuggle-filled years, we were honored to be her mommy and daddy! We got her when she was just 8weeks old from some friends of ours, who's doxies had puppies, and she was our very heart for all those years. We sadly lost our baby November 11, 2025 at 16yrs old. Not a moment of every day doesn't go by where we do not think of her, remember her or talk about her. I am very experienced with the care, attention, and love these sweet babies need from puppies all the way up to senior care. Our baby-girl Willow developed CCD (canine cognitive dysfunction the last year of her life and my husband and I became extremely knowledgeable of the meds needed, traditional meds as well as herbal, along with the various adjustments that were needed with the focus of keeping her happy, comfortable and safe. This has helped me to be able to lovingly care for doggies of all stages of life and various needs. In February 2026, we began volunteering for Chesapeake Humane Society and Chesapeake Animal Services as foster parents. We wanted to share a loving home with animals who unfortunately, don't have what our baby girl had. I have also done pet sitting for quite a few of our friends over the years for a variety of doggies. My husband and I both work from home and our jobs are not stressful or overly demanding. So, it would not be an inconvenience or out of the norm for us to have a furry visitor during the week. Our weekends are a bit busier, but again our schedules are usually flexible, and with sufficient advance scheduling we have been able to sit for our friends, and foster dogs and cats successfully. In my home it is catered to each individual animal, we have a large kitchen area that we use as an introduction to our home, then if the dog or cat feels comfortable, we bring them upstairs with us to sleep in our upstairs hallway or our bedroom (either in their crate, or I have setup a sleeping area in our upstairs hallway with safety gates, also depending on the specific care, size of dog and age). I have never done client home care for pet sitting, but I plan on getting specific details from each client to know their individual pet's needs, comfort level, and any other details in order that their baby is safe, and happy.
About: I have been watching peoples pets since I was thirteen, and have found much joy in getting to know new animals and their individual needs. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have lots of available throughout the week! I am free on both weekdays and weekends! I do not have the ability to care for animals in my own home; however, when taking care of peoples pets in their own home, I will do so in a manner that does not cause any disruption.
About: I am an experienced animal lover with a lifetime of caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have raised two puppies and owned dogs most of my life. I also used to live on a hobby farm where I fed and cared for chickens, turkeys, goats, cows and horses. Living on a hobby farm taught me a deep respect for animal behavior, routines, and safety. I bring that same level of vigilance and care to every dog that I watch. Over the years, I have provided daily care for my dogs in my household,, including feeding, walking, administered routine care, provided companionship, and keeping them safe and comfortable. I also provided care for my pet Amazon parrot, because I understand that birds have daily routines, needs and personality. ~ I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. Your dogs are family, and I will treat them like family. ☺️❤️☺️❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I'm available for walks and drop-ins. I enjoy making pets part of my daily routine. I provide a comfortable and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow their normal routines, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they receive individulaized care.
About: We really enjoyed pet sitting. Our first dog was named Bowden. We had her from when she was a few weeks old, to her becoming a senior dog. After she passed away, we realized we had the space and time to open our home for pet sitting. We enjoy walking our two woofies and the dogs we pet sit. Sometimes we even go twice a day! We have baby gates to seperate the dogs while they are eating. We also pay close attention to dogs getting overstimulated and need a break from dogs or children. We are a family of nurses, and can help medicate or care for health conditions. Puppies are no problem as well as senior dogs. We only have one step leading to our fenced in back yard. We have a lived in house, and have even let woofies up on the couch if they do that at home.We can't help ourselves and will send pictures and updates if you would like them! We do have children,but they respectful of animals. Ideally we only have 1 to 2 other dogs join us at a time. If you have more than two,we can definitely see if Jimbo and Carter can join the dog pack. You can trust that they will have a vacation themselves, will be safe, and our hopes are that they will feel right at home with us. My husband and are nurses and have flexible work schedules. One of us is typically at work, sleeping after night shift, or caring for the family and their needs. We walk twice a day most days, and can let animals out every 2 to 4 hours. We have 2 dogs and a senior cat. We have a fenced in back yard. We enjoyed going on walks and playing with the pups when they visit.
About: I’ve been around all types of dogs since I was little. I have worked with all ages including the puppy stage. I currently have 3 dogs of my own. I am currently enrolled as a student at Longwood University, but come home during the weekends. I will be available Friday through Sunday to care for fur babies! I will always respect your home and animals as if they were my own! Spending as much time as needed with the animals is my main priority and I will do as I can to meet their needs, and yours!
About: I am a devoted pet parent and caretaker. I have had many childhood pets including the care of family/family friends animals. I have 8 years of experienced pet care. My responsibilities include; administering medication (not including injections or rectal administration), providing fresh food/water, and maintaining a safe exciting environment! My life is mostly revolved around my cats, dog and hamster! I currently am a part time student unemployed. My schedule is very flexible, so I have much free time to care and keep company for your critters! I always ensure certain items stay stationary especially when they are fragile or toxic to my own and clients pets! Dogs/cats are quite curious so I’ve developed an extra set of eyes for their tomfoolery. Most importantly to gain the trust and comfort of your pets I typically greet them while sitting on the floor, so they aren’t intimidated and can sniff away!
About: I’m a nature lover with several years experience working at a vet and boarding facility. I have experience with dogs of all kinds including disabled, senior, and mischievous misbehaving. I’m able to administer oral medication as well as cuddles when needed, and I love doggies of all sizes (even the ones larger than me). I’ve had several pets of my own including a few cats, one pair of rats, and very silly golden retriever. My weekdays are currently free so I am completely open for services Monday through Friday. I usually reserve weekends as time to spend with family while they are off work but if needed I can be available in a case by case basis. Emotional needs are just as important as physical needs. Providing food, water, and a place to potty is the bare minimum! Having cats, I know how much mental stimulation also goes into giving them a happy life. I’d love to know your pets favorite things to incorporate them in.

She got to do the doggy day care for a day to see how she will do. She did fine. She sat with Shannon in her office (I received a picture), she got along with her dogs. There were no complaints or concerns when my husband picked her up. She will continue to go for daycare until our vacation. Highly recommend Shannon, she's great!”
