“Cassandra and Todd were a great host! Hazel (our dog) absolutely loved staying with them. We were sent pictures and videos daily! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we would rebook in an instant.”
“Maria and Matthew are the absolute best. I was kept up to date on Rufus and Maxx via text, videos and pictures. It gave me such peace knowing my babies were with a family that truly cares.”
“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!”
“I had a last menu catering gig that I had to prepare and Vania came through. I appreciate you and your family with taking care of my baby boy Diezel while I was away handling business . It never goes unnoticed . If I could give 10 stars , I would . Be blessed , always . I highly recommend .”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring, which made the whole experience stress-free. She treated my dog like her own and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable, happy, and well cared for during the stay. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it was clear my dog was relaxed and having a great time. When I picked my dog up, I could tell they were well loved and in great hands the entire time. I would 100% trust Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarder. Thank you so much, Shannon!”
“Megan is absolutely amazing. She will send pictures and videos of your pup to keep your mind at ease along with text updates through out the day. It is so appreciated and can't recommend Megan enough!”
“She was so great with my little boy. I just knew as sweet as my baby was, she would have to end the stay early. But she was so kind and patient with him. She sent pictures and videos of him and what he was up to. He was able to have the same one on one time with her like he would work my regular schedule. He had a ball. If she allows him back, I will definitely book with her again.”
“We felt safe with our dog there, and our dog seemed super contented being there. Kimberly was great with communication and photos—we’ve already booked her again!”
“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!”
“Andrew & Amanda & their little pup Chorizo were amazing with our Maltipoo. They communicated so well, answering our questions before we even asked, and sending photos. They treated her as if she was their own.”
“Samson has stayed with Julie and Kenneth several times this year. Samson is an elderly dog set in his ways, and I can tell he is very comfortable with them. They keep me informed of any issues, and I am so happy to have found them!”
“We booked boarding services for our three pups with Eric just 48 hours prior to going on vacation. Upon visiting Eric’s home for introduction and so he could meet our pups, we knew this was going to be a great experience. Eric and his family run a very impressive boarding service and he kept us up to date on the status of our fur babies. We’ve already booked his boarding services for two other vacations this year. 10 Star worthy!!!”
“Thank you again for such an amazing weekend with fur baby Mr Tip. With such short notice, you came to our rescue...and we thaaaank you🫶 He is sppiled rotten...the pictures speak for themselves♥️Until our next get away, stay blessed”
“5 stars is not enough. I’d like to give Christina 10 stars. I felt comfortable from the 1st moment we met. My Theo has never been anywhere without his family. Theo did Amazing. Theo was a rescue dog and he wasn’t treated well by his original family. He usually never leaves my side in new places. When we went to Christina’s he was Happy and walked away from me to explore. Which was a 1st for him. Theo loves children and Christina has sweet little ones. I got pictures through out the day and updates. More than I ever expected. Super Happy!!!”
“This was our first time leaving our little Golden doodle with Samantha. I will say, I was a bit intimidated by leaving him with a pit bull there, but upon meeting the pit bull he was the sweetest big dog ever. My worries immediately vanished! There were a couple other dogs there, so that was nice. There was one dog a bit too interested in my little guy, so I didn’t want to leave until he calmed down. Samantha never made me feel rushed to leave or weird. She was super patient and asking me if I wanted the dogs split up, or inside or outside. I really thought that said a lot about the person I was leaving our baby with and I really liked that. I say all that to say, you can’t always control how dogs will interact with each other, but you can control how you react to them and Samantha was very calm, kind and friendly. She never looked overwhelmed or nervous. She was a bit embarrassed I think because of the initial behavior of this other dog she was caring for, but I understood that wasn’t a reflection of her care. We left out little guy there 3 days and she communicated through the day with updates, sent photos and even went the extra step of boiling and egg to mix it with my dogs food since we do that for him at home too. I’m thankful we found someone to watch our guy for when we need it! Highly recommend! 10 out of 10!”
“Armonee communicated regularly and accommodated our many many many requests. I feared I was asking too much in a lot of ways but she really put my mind at ease. I can tell my old puppy loved spending time with her and her family and was well loved! Thank you for your care with my fur baby!”
“Tina did an amazing job accommodating Daisy in her for home while we were away on vacation. Her communication is excellent and her frequent updates made me feel at ease.”
“Once again they took care of Parcero 🐶 we are very grateful for all their care and love for him, highly recommended, thank you for all your service for photos and videos and for the excellent communication.🤗”

I am able to gauge any situation to ensure safety is the top priority.

“Annabelle was a fabulous cat sitter! She showed up on-time and did all that needed to be done, keeping me well-informed along the way! Most interestingly to me, my extremely reserved cat - a cat which remains hidden when outsiders come into the home - appeared for Annabelle and even wanted Annabelle to pet her! Truly a feat of nature! Clearly Annabelle has a knack for pets! I highly recommend Annabelle! Her extremely pleasant personality coupled with her attention-to-detail ensures your pet will be well taken care of while you are away. Thank you, Annabelle! :)”
About: I have taken care of several dogs growing up. I always hit it off with pets from the first time meeting them that people say “Have you met them before?” I love the good energy dogs always give off. I am a healthy active person so I will be able to keep up with energetic dogs but I’m also a laid back person so if you dog just wants to chill k can do that too!! I currently work part time on my own schedule so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs. I am active and work out 5-6 times a week so if you want your dog to get a run in I can do that as well. Anyway they need it. Rather it be playing or walking or cleaning whatever. I will stay in designated areas and will not over step any boundaries set
About: I bring both personal love and professional experience to caring for cats. I understand feline behavior, health needs, and the little quirks that make each cat unique. Whether it’s administering medication, providing enrichment, or just giving the right mix of playtime and quiet companionship, I make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care.
About: I’ve got years of experience caring for dogs and cats. My favorite thing to do is take dogs (especially my own) out for adventures by taking advantage of this beautiful state we get to call home. I love to give dogs the best time when they’re with me whether that’s going out or staying in and their safety and comfortability is my top priority. I work part time on Thursday and Friday nights until the end of December. I have a very open schedule until the end of April. I do have a dog and two cats, so it would be best to board at the owners home vs my own, but I am ok with either. I am avid about getting quality outdoor time that goes beyond potty breaks. Clear instructions of your pets exact care requirements/expectations are important to me so that I can make sure your pet is getting their needs met.
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, growing up with 10 German Shepards has provided me with a lot of experience. I will ensure your dog gets the best care possible! I look forward to taking care of your fur baby! :) My schedule is very flexible and I am currently working part time, so i will have plenty of time to play with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and 1 German Shepard to keep your fur baby company. A crate must be provided with food & bowls.

“Cassandra did a amazing job with my one year old Husky for Doggy Day Care , she will keep you updated with everything by sending you pictures of your dog having fun , and no doubt she did a amazing job.!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover with hands-on experience working at a professional boarding facility for a year, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That experience taught me how to handle everything from high-energy pups to more anxious or shy dogs, always with patience and care. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m available any time, any day, and offer a wide range of services including walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m very reliable and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to help! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I’m available full-time and have a very flexible schedule. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Since I’m available any time, I can accommodate early mornings, late evenings, and last-minute bookings. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they’re always a priority in my schedule. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s routine exactly as instructed. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication if needed. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision at all times. With my experience working at a boarding facility, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and ensuring every pet feels safe and well cared for.
“My dog is extremely attached to me, so I was nervous about leaving her with a sitter. However, Akemi has the disposition and experience I was pretty sure would work for my dog, and I was right! Akemi has been fantastic about entertaining my dog, so she isn't so sad while also creating such a loving and positive environment for my dog that my dog now adores her too! She was able to quickly bond with my dog making it so my dog and I both feel comfortable leaving her with Akemi. Akemi is quickly responsive to messages and always sends a detailed report with plenty of pictures after each session. I feel confident I am leaving my dog in secure and loving hands.”
“Rachel went out of her way to provide Hazel with exceptional care. I received many cute updates throughout the day and at the end of the day picked up a happy and tired girl!”
“We met Christina and her children in the grassy area in her cul de sac. Stevie had a wonderful day with them, to include playing in the backyard and going on a walk. Christina sent photos throughout the day, and was kind enough to drop Stevie off at her bff at the end of the day.”
About: I’ve taken care of my dog and my aunt’s dog since I was nine. I’m twenty now and both of my fur babies are still kicking, barking, and happy. I’ve always loved animals, even helping to rescue some when I was little such as these two baby ducks and other little birdies and frogs too. In school, my teacher had a pet chameleon and turtle and I always was excited to help feed them. I actually started majoring in Biology at first in college to be a veterinarian or zoologist. I have a different path now to help children but I still have a passion for pets and other beautiful creatures of this Earth. I will take care of your fur babies just like I did mine and love them just as much. I am a college student as mentioned before so my current schedule is MWF and Tues and Thurs to be free after 11:15 am. However, I do live on campus in Norfolk at ODU so I can take business there as well but mainly for dog walking and pet sitting at your residence. I do rely on my mother, brother or friends for transportation but they are willing to help snd be available as needed. Please give me a chance and you won’t regret it. :) I make sure the pets first get to know me, smell me, and recognize me to be comfortable with me. Then, I interact with them more by playing with them and giving them rubs and cuddles so they can feel more connected and comfortable. Then, definitely make sure they eat and drink the right food for their health and nourishment. Then, walk them so they can do their business and get exercise and always make sure they have a leash on. Next, make sure they are groomed and cleaned well and freshen up from the outdoors. Then spend more time with them until our fun is over and they are returned with their beloved owners. I will have a whole day well planned and you and your fur babies will appreciate it. :)
“Kobie was GREAT with my baby! I loved getting a video of him settling in within 20 minutes of dropping him off at doggy day care. Jax had a great time with Kobie’s dogs and he was well taken care of!”
“She was very pleasant with the owners and patient with our two dogs. This was the fist time we used this type of service and it appears to have went well. Would recommend her and we intend to use her again. 5stars!”
About: Hi, I’m Nancy! Dogs have been part of my family and my heart for over 26 years. I currently have 3 small dogs As a devoted dog mom, I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life—from curious 8-week-old puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience, love, and gentle care. I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup enjoys an energetic walk, a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood, or just spending time with someone who truly enjoys their company, I’ll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own dogs. I’m dependable, patient, and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring hands. I’ll always prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness, and I’ll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m joining Rover to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love—spending time with dogs. It would be a privilege to care for your furry family member, and I look forward to meeting you both! I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! I’m currently unemployed, as I’ve just recently moved back to the area, which means I have a lot of availability and a flexible schedule.

“Eugene is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! He watched Brinkley for us (2nd time) while we took a quick day trip. Brinkley was so excited to see Eugene when we arrived, and I know he had a fun day. Thanks again, Eugene!”
“Jason was great with our one year old puppy, Odin! We met with Jason and his dogs beforehand and we could already tell that Jason was going to be attentive and good with Odin. His dogs were all great, too! Odin played the day away and we got updates and adorable pics, which were very much appreciated. We will definitely be sending him back! Highly recommend!”
“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 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.

I currently work full time and my schedule varies based on the week and holidays. I typically have off Tuesday, Sundays so I will be available all day those days. I am also usually off by 3 at work. I have a fenced in backyard but due to my dog India being so small we typically keep her on a leash when taking her outside. For my 2 lab puppies they just wander the backyard. I do request a meet and greet for most bookings for safety reasons for new clients. At your home I will ensure all instructions are followed based on the needs of your pets!
About: I changed the direction my life was going and found the REASON was Animal Care. I began volunteering at 2 local Humane Societies in 2013. Very shortly thereafter became employed at both Societies = working 7 days a week with animals. I adopted my first 2 pets (torti cats named Cali & Ava) in the Fall of 2013. Adopted a 3rd torti cat in the Spring of 2014 (named Hallie B). I adopted a chihuahua in the Fall of 2016 (named Clara my grandmother’s name). With the exception of Hallie B they have all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The 1st in December 2020 then June 2021 and most recently in May of this year :-( 🐾🐾🐾 They were adopted as Seniors. They were the best. After 4 years of Humane Society work I changed direction again in 2017 to a more professional aspect of Animal Care becoming employed at a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant for over 7 years. I have performed a number of cat drop-ins around the Gloucester area for various residents affiliated with the Humane Society. One such assignment lasted for almost two months while the cat’s owners traveled to Florida for the winter. I currently work (outside of Animal Care) OVERNIGHT 40 hours WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 8am to 2pm. Sunday thru Tuesday I am totally available. There is some flexibility with my overnight work and the possibility of a little accommodation for Animal Care. I also have to spare some time for my own cat’s care. Quality. Compassionate. Care. is what I provide pets. I want them to have the creature comforts that make them feel all warm and comfy and content.
About: I have taken care of several dogs growing up. I always hit it off with pets from the first time meeting them that people say “Have you met them before?” I love the good energy dogs always give off. I am a healthy active person so I will be able to keep up with energetic dogs but I’m also a laid back person so if you dog just wants to chill k can do that too!! I currently work part time on my own schedule so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs. I am active and work out 5-6 times a week so if you want your dog to get a run in I can do that as well. Anyway they need it. Rather it be playing or walking or cleaning whatever. I will stay in designated areas and will not over step any boundaries set

I’m great with all types of dogs no matter the size. I’m available everyday of the week!!So if you or your family need a weekend or just want a week long getaway and don’t want to worry about your beloved pets, I’m here to help!

About: Hello, my name is selma and I am currently a mom to two energetic, loving, adventurous kittens. We like to stay home, cuddle and watch movies. I also worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center, so i have handled wild/ exotic animals and able to administer medications if needed. Having previously worked at a pet shelter, I have extensive experience with a wide range of dogs, from small teacup breeds to large lap dogs, enabling me to confidently handle the diverse personalities and sizes of your beloved pets. Whether it's embarking on long hikes or leisurely strolls in the park, I am flexible and eager to cater to your furry companions' needs. As someone who cherishes outdoor activities and staying active, integrating pet care seamlessly into my daily routine is not just a task but a joy. My availability and adaptability ensure that your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve, all while allowing me to indulge in my love for outdoor adventures. In both my own home and my clients' homes, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment for pets. This includes ensuring they have access to clean water, nutritious food, and a comfortable resting area. Depending on the specific needs of the pet and the service offered, I tailor my care routine accordingly. This can involve regular feeding schedules, administering medication if needed, engaging in playtime and exercise sessions, and providing plenty of affection and attention. Additionally, I maintain open communication with pet owners to ensure their preferences and expectations are met, guaranteeing a seamless and satisfying experience for both pets and their owners.
About: I’ve worked in animal rescue since I was 8, during that time I fostered countless dogs, cats, kittens and puppies. I grew up with four family dogs, one of whom was special needs and a Chihuahua who I brought with me when I moved out, she was my baby until she passed at 16 years old. Now I have Pepper, a psycho but very lovable German Shepherd/Border Collie mix. I have a very flexible schedule and I try to keep my calendar up to date but just check with me and I’ll let you know if I’m available! I’m a stickler for detail so I will follow your instructions to a T. Depending on your dogs needs, a day at your home may look like frequent play-time, a 30 minute walk, maybe some light obedience training and lots of love.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, growing up with 10 German Shepards has provided me with a lot of experience. I will ensure your dog gets the best care possible! I look forward to taking care of your fur baby! :) My schedule is very flexible and I am currently working part time, so i will have plenty of time to play with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and 1 German Shepard to keep your fur baby company. A crate must be provided with food & bowls.

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.
About: I have friends who own a dog breeding business and travel to different countries, meeting different dog breeders, but while they’re gone. they usually ask me to watch the pups/dogs for weeks to months. I helped gave birthed to at least 9 dogs over the course of 3 yrs. gross experience but its a beautiful thing after a few weeks to months go by and you see the little puppies get bigger and cuter. When it comes to pet sitter, i also watched cats, dogs, rabbits, parakeets, chinchillas, iguanas, koi fishes & even pet insects. I personally work out alot and i want to become a pet sitter because it fits with my timeframe, plus exercising with dogs are good Im a private chef and over the yrs i learn to cook different nutritious & exotic cuisine for everyone plus for pets. especially for dogs, & cats

“Maria and Matthew are the absolute best. I was kept up to date on Rufus and Maxx via text, videos and pictures. It gave me such peace knowing my babies were with a family that truly cares.”
“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!”

“Shannon was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring, which made the whole experience stress-free. She treated my dog like her own and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable, happy, and well cared for during the stay. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it was clear my dog was relaxed and having a great time. When I picked my dog up, I could tell they were well loved and in great hands the entire time. I would 100% trust Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarder. Thank you so much, Shannon!”
“Megan is absolutely amazing. She will send pictures and videos of your pup to keep your mind at ease along with text updates through out the day. It is so appreciated and can't recommend Megan enough!”
“We felt safe with our dog there, and our dog seemed super contented being there. Kimberly was great with communication and photos—we’ve already booked her again!”
“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!”
“We booked boarding services for our three pups with Eric just 48 hours prior to going on vacation. Upon visiting Eric’s home for introduction and so he could meet our pups, we knew this was going to be a great experience. Eric and his family run a very impressive boarding service and he kept us up to date on the status of our fur babies. We’ve already booked his boarding services for two other vacations this year. 10 Star worthy!!!”
“Thank you again for such an amazing weekend with fur baby Mr Tip. With such short notice, you came to our rescue...and we thaaaank you🫶 He is sppiled rotten...the pictures speak for themselves♥️Until our next get away, stay blessed”
“This was our first time leaving our little Golden doodle with Samantha. I will say, I was a bit intimidated by leaving him with a pit bull there, but upon meeting the pit bull he was the sweetest big dog ever. My worries immediately vanished! There were a couple other dogs there, so that was nice. There was one dog a bit too interested in my little guy, so I didn’t want to leave until he calmed down. Samantha never made me feel rushed to leave or weird. She was super patient and asking me if I wanted the dogs split up, or inside or outside. I really thought that said a lot about the person I was leaving our baby with and I really liked that. I say all that to say, you can’t always control how dogs will interact with each other, but you can control how you react to them and Samantha was very calm, kind and friendly. She never looked overwhelmed or nervous. She was a bit embarrassed I think because of the initial behavior of this other dog she was caring for, but I understood that wasn’t a reflection of her care. We left out little guy there 3 days and she communicated through the day with updates, sent photos and even went the extra step of boiling and egg to mix it with my dogs food since we do that for him at home too. I’m thankful we found someone to watch our guy for when we need it! Highly recommend! 10 out of 10!”
“Armonee communicated regularly and accommodated our many many many requests. I feared I was asking too much in a lot of ways but she really put my mind at ease. I can tell my old puppy loved spending time with her and her family and was well loved! Thank you for your care with my fur baby!”
“Once again they took care of Parcero 🐶 we are very grateful for all their care and love for him, highly recommended, thank you for all your service for photos and videos and for the excellent communication.🤗”
“Leaving our beloved Hector to Amber and Dane was the best choice we could ever make. We had to travel abroad and definitely couldn't take our full of energy puppy with us. Not only Amber and Dan considered Hector like one of their own dog, but, on the pictures and movies we received everyday, it was obvious that Hector had happy time, had a lot of fun and plays with the other dogs and enjoyed this "summer camp" a lot. If for any reason you need a pet sitter, you can definitely trust Amber and Dan to love and open their home and garden to your furry friend as if it was theirs, giving you daily news and pictures/movies and, to summary, being the perfect substitute pawrents. We will always come back to them when we need Hector to be pet-sited again. Do not hesitate to request their services, they are awesomely terrific!”
“Crystal was awesome, professional, and made us very comfortable in watching our pup. She accepted our relatively last minute booking of 5 days and was in all ways very accommodating. We will certainly look to her first in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Courtney was awesome with our dog. Very nice and was in touch with us to update us on how our dog was in the new environment. She has a great setup for dogs, and had some great tips for helping our dog leash train! Thank you!”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our sweet girl Jewel ! We received lots of great pictures and communication! Jewel definitely was living her best life and had a great doggy vacay while we were also on vacation ! I would recommend her to everyone !”
