“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.”
“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 can’t say enough great things about our dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Diezel, while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the trip with photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Diezel was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. We came home to a relaxed and content pup, you can tell he got lots of love and attention. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Brandy is definitely someone I recommend booking long or short term. She is very dedicated and loves your pet as her own. You don’t ever have to worry about not being updated and having feedback and I had peace of mind and we were on the same page when it came to my dogs health and care.”
“We can totally recommend Aurelie for your furry friend. The backyard is awesome for the dogs to run around and she always sends pictures to keep you up to date. We found a new dog sitter and a good friend at the same time with Aurelie and her family :) we're looking forward to meet them again”
“Tavonne was excellent!!! I truly like the fact that she sent me frequent pics and updates on Milo!! I will definitely be using her for all of my boarding needs.”
“Angela is the absolute best. She provided the best care and treated my dog like a king. My high energy dog came back so well behaved and incredibly well groomed, she treated him to spa days, made him amazing homemade health treats, stuck to his routine and provided me so many updates and pictures I was never left questioning his wellbeing. I almost don’t want to leave this review so I don’t have to fight for her care in the future. But she is honestly the best care giver. I don’t want anyone else watching my dog but angela at this point. 100/10. Thank you angela ❤️❤️”
“Krystal is awesome! We just moved back into the area and luckily she had availability to board our pup for the week. It was like they never missed a beat after 2.5 years. Krystal was very attentive, allowed her other dogs to play with our pup in the backyard and gave updates regularly with pictures. As long as we're in the Hampton Roads area, Krystal has a repeat customer everytime!”
“Alexis was the best! We are transitioning from Boston Massachusetts to Hampton roads, and at the last minute I needed a sitter for 2 of my golden doodle boys, to move my remaining items to VA, and Alexis quickly responded and agree to Take my boyz. She took pictures and messaged me daily about much fun they were having. We definitely will utilize Alexis again! We found a sitter here in Hampton Roads! Yay!!”
“Nancy was a great match for Macy. Macy is our pampered pet and she did well with Nancy. She had other doggie friends to play with. Nancy did a good job of keeping us informed and sending pictures. Macy usually won't eat well when traveling and she even managed to get her to eat. She has a nice fenced yard so the dogs can have room to play but also welcomes them into her home. I would definitely let Nancy keep Macy again if we are in the area.”
“David was amazing and truly understanding. Our children had a track meet 4hrs away that went over in time by 3-4hrs. David’s flexibility to still provide loving care for our furbaby meant a lot to us.”
“Nieshea was fantastic with my two pups. She was very professional, courteous, and helpful with sending updates and video while I was on vacation. We will definitely utilize her services in the future when we go on trips. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Serena is the sweetest sitter ever! Beans enjoys being with her probably more than she enjoys being at home! I cannot recommend her enough for your pet sitting needs.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about wonderful Michele! Our anxious Shih Tzu can be very nervous around new people and changes in routine, but from the very beginning, she showed incredible patience, kindness, and understanding. She took the time to make Charlie feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and it truly made all the difference. We received updates, photos, and reassurance while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. It is clear she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like family. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with anxious pets!”
“Really lovely family. Took great care of my two dogs and did so on short notice too. Sent lots of picture of the dogs which I truly appreciated. Felt very comfortable that my pups were in good hands. Totally recommend them.”

About: Hi! I've worked with a lot of different sizes and breeds, as well as different temperaments when it comes to dogs and cats. I can also administer medications and take care of exotic fish or other animals if needed. A little bit about me: I am a very calm, patient, and dependable person with 5 lovely dogs between my husband and I( I had 3 and he had 2 when we met!). I’m a former RN currently at home while finishing up my Doctorate. I would love to get back in to walking, drop-in visits, and recently decided to try out out doggy daycare. We have a nice big backyard! I am open to learning and providing your pup with any accommodations that they may need during my visits and/or their stay. I understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe and loved. Feel free to ask any questions. I look forward to working with you! *I do have a toddler at home most days, so it is important that your dog is friendly with children when considering doggy day care. She will not join me for drop on visits or walks! I do my best to provide service at the times requested. I am very dependable, however I may suggest an alternate time if there is a conflict. I will make it work! I am very organized and respectful when making a visit to a pet parents home. I also make sure doors are locked and light are off when I leave.

About: I have spent the better part of my life committed to the care of animals, I love them and hope to use my skills and innate passion to be a blessing to someone.

I have an extra large fenced in yard, live alone and have an amazing dachshund named, "Koko." He is an old boy and doesn't mind the company. I am a big advocate of cuddles, praise and sticking to training measures in place by an owner. I respect these animals and it really rewards me to see them happy, safe and healthy!
“This was our first time using Rover or trusting anyone other than family with our pets. Shelbie immediately made us feel at ease with how attentive, professional and friendly she was with us and our pets. She was on top of everything and gave our pets quality care and love while we were gone! She provided thoughtful updates and helped our pets feel comfortable and come out of their shells. For the first time ever we were able to take a vacation and have peace of mind. I highly recommend her as a sitter!!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life. I’m more of a cat person than a dog person, but I love both. I currently have a cat of my own, and he has had skin issues and stomach problems that have been addressed with oral and topical medications. I hate dirty litter boxes and strive to do complete change outs every two weeks.
“My children can’t even give this cat his insulin! Dalenne is amazing. I feel blessed to have found her. Hoping she can help my next trip! Thanks for asking Beth Pierce”

“Ive used Brandys daycare services for Loki 2 days a week for about 5 weeks now. She is very attentive, loves dogs, and caring towards him. He gets so excited to see her and looks so comfortable around her family. She gives physical daily report cards with the potty schedule, behavior, feedings, comments and recommendations. She sends photos throughout the day. Her family enjoys having him around and I love seeing him play with her children. I had a family emergency one weekend and she had no problem keeping him for me until I got back in town. That was super huge because she does have a family, it was last minute, and a big ask. Definitely would recommend her services.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since 2011 and have owned a variety of breeds, including Yorkies, Beagles, and German Shepherds. My dogs have always been beloved family members who lived long, happy lives. I understand the importance of dependable, loving care and will treat your pet with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Because I am home most of the time, pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, affection, and a consistent routine. I know every pet has their own routine, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable. Whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, going for extra walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing on the couch, I try to keep their day as normal as possible. I work from home and have a fully fenced yard, which allows for plenty of supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play throughout the day. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Such a great experience for my babies! I would absolutely recommend! I felt super comfortable having Lisa watch all four of my kitties and my dog. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”
About: I have 7 years of experience being a veterinary technician for veterinary clinics and emergency hospitals. I, also, work remote so I am able to take as many happy doggos during the day. My dog (2-year-old Belgian Malinois) gets along with small to large dogs as he has been trained to be around all size dogs. I have a large fenced in back yard and a large house for them to run around in. I do have a cat, but he keeps to himself and has his own room to be in. I have worked Rover all in the past, but now with a remote job I would love to help others out for doggie day care and of course someone for my dog to hang out with. I am very capable of taking care of any type of dog and I have a lot of skills training puppies. I work remotely so I am home all the time so I can easily take care of puppies to seniors. I have tons of toys at the house and of course a 2 year old Belgian Malinois that loves everyone and loves to play. I have a large fully fenced in backyard and a large house for doggos to run around in. I can offer day-time boarding and overnight boarding at my house.
“I recently moved here and was anxious about finding a sitter for Taco. I'm so glad I can trust Julie and Kenneth to take care of Taco while I'm away at work. They make sure he's happy and I also get a very detailed summary about how his day went. I highly recommend them and will be using them regularly.”
“We contacted Michelle the morning we wanted daycare for our dog and she cheerfully responded within minutes. Michelle provided wonderful, loving care and was super at communicating. She sent 5 pictures and a video of her walking him during his stay. Her home was lovely and the neighborhood is great for walking. I highly recommend Michelle for daycare or boarding.”
“Raven was a huge help with my dog when I needed a sitter last minute. She communicated with me well and jept me updated throughout my pups stay. I would highly recommend for booking with her for your pup!”

I also follow each pet’s routine closely and never leave them unsupervised in unsafe situations. My goal is to provide a safe, loving space where pets can relax and feel at home

I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies who need long walks and playtime to senior dogs who just want a gentle stroll and lots of love.

“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 can’t say enough great things about our dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Diezel, while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the trip with photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Diezel was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. We came home to a relaxed and content pup, you can tell he got lots of love and attention. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Brandy is definitely someone I recommend booking long or short term. She is very dedicated and loves your pet as her own. You don’t ever have to worry about not being updated and having feedback and I had peace of mind and we were on the same page when it came to my dogs health and care.”
“We can totally recommend Aurelie for your furry friend. The backyard is awesome for the dogs to run around and she always sends pictures to keep you up to date. We found a new dog sitter and a good friend at the same time with Aurelie and her family :) we're looking forward to meet them again”
“Krystal is awesome! We just moved back into the area and luckily she had availability to board our pup for the week. It was like they never missed a beat after 2.5 years. Krystal was very attentive, allowed her other dogs to play with our pup in the backyard and gave updates regularly with pictures. As long as we're in the Hampton Roads area, Krystal has a repeat customer everytime!”
“Alexis was the best! We are transitioning from Boston Massachusetts to Hampton roads, and at the last minute I needed a sitter for 2 of my golden doodle boys, to move my remaining items to VA, and Alexis quickly responded and agree to Take my boyz. She took pictures and messaged me daily about much fun they were having. We definitely will utilize Alexis again! We found a sitter here in Hampton Roads! Yay!!”
“Nancy was a great match for Macy. Macy is our pampered pet and she did well with Nancy. She had other doggie friends to play with. Nancy did a good job of keeping us informed and sending pictures. Macy usually won't eat well when traveling and she even managed to get her to eat. She has a nice fenced yard so the dogs can have room to play but also welcomes them into her home. I would definitely let Nancy keep Macy again if we are in the area.”
“David was amazing and truly understanding. Our children had a track meet 4hrs away that went over in time by 3-4hrs. David’s flexibility to still provide loving care for our furbaby meant a lot to us.”
“Nieshea was fantastic with my two pups. She was very professional, courteous, and helpful with sending updates and video while I was on vacation. We will definitely utilize her services in the future when we go on trips. Highly recommend!”
“Serena is the sweetest sitter ever! Beans enjoys being with her probably more than she enjoys being at home! I cannot recommend her enough for your pet sitting needs.”
“Really lovely family. Took great care of my two dogs and did so on short notice too. Sent lots of picture of the dogs which I truly appreciated. Felt very comfortable that my pups were in good hands. Totally recommend them.”
“Emily is the best! She is so kind and caring. My dog is very loved while in her presence and i can tell she has the genuine heart for animals! highly recommend! 10/10!”
“Melissa and Jeremy are pet sitters extraordinaire! We have an elderly dog who has lots of quirks and needed extra help with exercise and diet. Melissa really paid attention to both our dog’s needs and our anxiety over leaving her with them. We got constant feedback, updates, pictures and short videos keeping us updated. Was very supportive and even gave us a workable suggestion for getting our Princess to take her meds. I wish I could give them 10 stars!”
“Erica was phenomenal. I was nervous about leaving my 2 large dogs with someone I just met. However, when I met her prior to boarding my dogs, I knew it was a good choice. She has an area just for the dogs that she boards, was incredibly knowledgeable about dog behaviors and how to handle them. I was especially nervous because my youngest dog is reactive. Erica knew precisely how to manage that. She even worked with my reactive dog and my dog was very responsive. I received ample communication and photos throughout my dogs stay with her. Having Erica watch my dogs gave me peace of mind that I didn’t expect from a new person. I highly recommend Erica and will call her again should I need to board my dogs.”
“Christopher did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. He treated them like they were part of his family. He was communicative and flexible to our needs and we felt so confidence that our dogs were being well cared for while we were away. We will definitely be using him again in the future, and give him our highest recommendation!”
“MaryAnn did an awesome job watching my dog. She took her in on short notice over the holidays and sent me great pictures every day. She even gave her a small birthday party with extra turkey for dinner! Highly recommend!”
