“Jennifer was absolutely amazing. It all started with just simply contacting her. She watched our dog when our area had the good snow storm this year. My husband and I both work in the fire department and were called into work immediately, we had nowhere to place our dog on such short notice. Jennifer eagerly took our dog in such short notice (hour drop off to be exact.) During her stay I got several pictures everyday knowing that even though we were staying busy our pup was having a blast. I can't recommend her enough!”
“We are overjoyed by our experience with this Rover. It was the first time we had ever left mom’s Chinese Crested with anyone since we brought her home 1-15-21 after mom’s funeral. We have taken her everywhere with us including to Gulf Shores Alabama. We were traveling with a long ferry ride this time and we couldn’t take her. We were updated with text, photos and videos that kept us from worrying about her. She looked very happy and we could concentrate on getting things done and getting back home. When we picked her up we were assured that she always has a safe and familiar place to stay if we needed to bring her back again. We couldn’t be happier with her weekend stay.”
“Lyra and Scott took great care of Ruby. They followed our instructions that we had for her and even gave her extra attention when she got a little sick. They were flexible with the pick up time as we didn’t know exactly when we would be there to pick up and kept us informed about Ruby thru pictures and texts.”
“They took great care of our older dog. We could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover. Plenty of updates and we were able to relax and enjoy family vacation time knowing he was being well loved and cared for.”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“My dog, Teddy, absolutely loved staying with Savannah H and family! As soon as we arrived on the farm, Teddy didn’t turn back - he loved the environment and was ready to meet new friends. Savannah sent pictures so I knew that he was having fun and doing well. I was actually sad for Teddy that his stay was only for one night! I highly recommend Savannah H as she’s super kind and loves all animals!”
“she was very nice and made us feel very comfortable leaving our pet in her care. She communicated with us during our vacation letting us know how our pet was doing during her stay. I recommend her to anyone who looking for a sitter for their pet ?. I look forward to do business with her again.”
“Maggie and her family were wonderful! My dog Millie stayed with them over the Thanksgiving holiday and when I picked her up I could tell how much fun she had! Maggie sent updates multiple times a day with photos included. Millie had the best time-- would highly recommend trusting Maggie with your pup!”
“Sandra and her family are great! Both of our dogs instantly felt comfortable with them and so did we. We found Sandra to be patient and kind to our boys and had no doubt they were in goods hands while we were away. She checked in with us often to let us know how they were doing. Great job Sandra!”
“This was our first time using anything like Rover and Lana was absolutely amazing. We knew after meeting with her that this would be a much better alternative to the vet boarding that we've done in the past. Lana opened up her house to our 2 year old Frenchie and we immediately knew that he was going to be happy and well taken care of during our weeklong vacation in Costa Rica. She kept us updated almost daily with pictures of our little guy and anything else that we needed to know while we were away. He looked like he was having soo much fun that it was almost like he was on a mini vaca too. LOL We couldn't be happier with the whole experience and will definitely use Lana any time we need to go away and she's available.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals. I’ve watched family and friends animals numerous of time took them on walks and feed and groomed them and teaching them all kinds tricks like sit down and paw and roll over kisses and wait for their food until I say go ahead Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. Each day, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, receive exercise, and get plenty of attention and affection. I also monitor their health and behavior to ensure they are happy and comfortable. On a weekly basis, I clean living areas, wash bedding, groom pets as needed, and make sure they have a safe and healthy environment. Provided compassionate care for pets in both my home and clients’ homes, including feeding, fresh water, exercise, grooming, administering medications when needed, cleaning living areas, and monitoring pets’ health and well-being. Ensured pets received attention, companionship, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners were away.”
“Ashton was very patient with my anxious spaniel and managed to make her feel secure and confident enough to play with her own dog. It was such a relief to know that my dog felt happy, playful, and secure away from home. I’ll certainly call on her in the future for pet sitting and perhaps even playtime for my dog, who now seems eager to make new canine friends. This development has been a real breakthrough for my once-timid and fearful spaniel.”

“Ellie G. is a great communicator with photo updates. The daycare day went well and Annie O was introduced to Ellie’s chickens and I’m sure she wanted to get a little closer but Ellie was great keeping Annie away from them. Annie also met Ellie’s dog and it appears that they both made a new friend. The day was a success.”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with them, cared for and dog sat for over 15 years while being a nannny. I've had two dogs of my own as well. My family and I have recently lost our beloved pup and are desiring to spend time with yours to get all the dog snuggles and love we can! I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids. We are home daily and most weekends. We love for your sweet pup to hang with us during the day or stay with us during a vacation or long weekend away. We do not have a fenced in yard but have 2 acres of property that we would leash your dog and take for walks around the property. We had a dog in the past that had medication needs and special food needs so I accustomed to caring for dogs with special needs. We are also a couch/furniture friendly family if that is something that is important to you. We do have small children but both are use to dogs and love them! We also do not have a pet of our right currently and so your dog would definitely be the center of our attention.
“We were so great full to have found her and that she was able to care for our little fellow in our time of need. She provided wonderful care for him. She has several bigger dogs on site but they were very friendly and didn’t even bark. Our little guy was surfers from a bit of anxiety when we leave him anywhere. I think he was secretly proud of himself for hanging with the big dogs. We don’t have to leave him often but I will give Becca a call again when we have the need.”
“Had a last minute change of plans. Lyra and Scott were very accommodating and wonderful. They sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Will definitely be a repeat user when back in the Williamsburg area.”
“Lynn is very nice and kept me updated. Every so often she sent me pictures of Annie and their outings. Very communicative. I love that. We will definitely use Lynn again and will recommend her to friends. All in all it was a great day for Annie.”
“Ashton was amazing with our dog. She updated us so frequently that she made us feel so comfortable. She made sure to let us know that she is in good hands. She also sent us a lot of pictures of out pup. thank you again ashton, you saved us :)”
About: Growing up on a small farm with cats & high-energy pups, I ended-up gaining experience as the neighborhood dog & cat sitter in my as a teenager. It was my favorite job I’ve ever had! ☺️ This included stops-in for daily walks, cuddle-times, & feedings; ensuring they play & move when their owners are away. Occasionally administering medications: (including medications that require a needle), and much more. As I got older, I gained experience working in a Veterinarian office. I’ve spent a lot of time with animals of all sizes and temperaments in these environments, including end of life care. I also have my own at home: two old boys. One sweet & feisty, almost thirteen-year-old blind and (nearly entirely) deaf Dachshund named Woody, who loves to be cuddled. Then, there’s my nearly ten-year-old American Foxhound sweetheart, Popeye, who wants to do nothing but play and be told how much of a “good boy” he is. They’re the best boys anyone could ask for. I look forward to hearing from you and how I can help! ☺️ I do same-day bookings for walks. Extra play-time, snuggles, and pets await. Currently, I am home, in-between waiting for Medical Assistant Certification classes to start in January, after 6 years of being a stay-at-home-mother. I am extremely communicative and committed to respecting the boundaries of your home. If there are specifics to how you would like me to enter & lock your home, then it will be done. As far as taking care of your pets, they will be loved, played with, treated as if they are my own, and fed, walked, & watered (if specified for the job).
“Meaghan was very friendly and caring towards Mason. She accommodated us with our changing timeline and made it possible to visit Busch Gardens on our way through Williamsburg. If we’re ever back in the area and need a sitter we would definitely book with her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

“This was our first time using Rover. Tate and Rosie, our two yellow labs, had a great overnight stay with Ellie. She gave them plenty of attention and activity - like going to dog camp! We picked them up happy and tired the next day. Thank you for taking good care of them, Ellie!”
“Absolutely recommend! My senior girl can get really anxious when I leave, especially with someone new, and she settled in with George and his family right away. She stayed almost a week for her first stay and it went amazing. Tons of walks, pets, treats, and cuddles, plus George kept me updated the whole time with plenty of pictures. I was able to actually relax and enjoy my trip, and I'll definitely be booking them again!”
“This is our second time using Allison and we already have our third stay booked. We have peace of mind knowing our dog is in good hands and safe while we are out of town.”
“Becca is wonderful! We came down to the Keys for a long weekend and wanted our pup, Julep, to be with us when possible during the stay and while traveling. “Camp Becca” is the best! She sent photos and reports of fun times. Her dogs are friendly and were gracious hosts as well. Julep came out all smiles! Highly recommend.”
