“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!”
“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!”
“Cristen and her family are wonderful to work with. It’s clear they love animals and treat all the dogs that stay with them as their own. Would definitely recommend them!”
“Jackie was amazing taking care of my Teddy. He took to her right away and she reassured me the whole week he was with her with status updates and pics. I highly recommend her!”
“Our first time leaving our 4yr old boxer pups, Archie & Lulu with Rover.com caregiver, was a very positive, comforting experience! Elisabeth was very responsive, experienced, personable and organized: clean and family and dog friendly home. She sent us daily updates and photos of our dog "kids," which was comforting! Dogs were relaxed and happy. We will definitely use Elisabeth again and highly recommend her!”
“She was very caring and responsive. It was Yuki’s first time at a sitter and I felt like the parent on the first day of preschool. She alleviated me by sending photos and videos. She is my YUKI Sitter!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.
“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!!”
“Tameka was an amazing caregiver for my two weenie dogs! I was so happy to be able to keep them together in a lovely home environment. Tameka was very attentive to my dogs needs and provided me with lots of updates and cute photos. Thank you Tameka!”
“Isaac and Omaira once again go above and beyond. My littlest poodle wasn't wanting to take his medicine and they went & got some greenies pill packs which I'm using now - works like a charm! Thanks again guys!”
“Constance is great! Our schnauzer was in amazing hands, and he seemed to really love his time there. We will definitely schedule with Constance in the future and refer her to anyon els who may need dog sitter support.”
“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”
“Kacie was sooooo nice and welcoming from the very 1st text to the meet & greet. She made us feel so at ease while at the meet & greet. She wanted to ensure she took care of our furbaby in the same manner as we do & that meant the WORLD to us!!!!! She took the time to ask all the pertinent & important questions and asked if we had any of her as well. She took & sent pics to us keeping us updated regularly. She made it soooo much easy for us to spend our vacation at ease knowing our furbaby was in HER CARE!!! She provided EXCELLENT CARE for Bruno!!!! He will be returning to her again in a few weeks!!! Im soooo happy to have found Kacie!!!!!”
“This was a great booking for Jake and I. We were traveling for my homecoming and didn’t want to keep him in the hotel bored. Jamel offered an inviting playful space for Jake, I like sitters who care for other dogs so Jake can have ample playtime. I was also close by if anything happened versus leaving him at home. Overall this was a great stay and will book again when in town.”
“Bree had a wonderful experience at Jeff's home. He and his wife were very nice and accommodating. I received pictures of Bree everyday. We will definitely use Jeff again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog, Ace, with Katherine and her husband. Their space was very clean and well kept, with plenty of space for Ace to relax or play. He warmed up well and seemed pretty comfortable with them. Katherine sent updates and plenty of photos. I would definitely recommend her services and book with her again in the future.”
“Quick to help out on a short notice and understands the quick pace of military life. Very helpful, great with our dogs and would trust her with our animals again.”
“Jakorey took excellent care of my dog when I went out of town. He sent me several pictures of him, walked him and played with him. I would take my dog to Jakorey again. Thank you.”
“Brandy and her family took outstanding care of my dog Luna during her boarding stay. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such loving and capable hands. They treated her like part of their own family and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. I truly appreciate their kindness, reliability, and the genuine love they showed for Luna. I would absolutely book with them again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and caring home for their pet. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Tavonne was absolutely amazing! Very professional, reliable, and caring throughout the entire booking. I really appreciated the consistent communication and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet was well taken care of and happy when I returned. I highly recommend Tavonne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter!”

When I deployed, she was very accommodating and has been watching Brenda for me again since I moved into a new place. My cat has loved her since the first visit and honestly Brenda is super shy so I thought she would hide every time Samantha came over. I get tons of pictures of them cuddling and playing together and it really puts my mind at ease when I am traveling, So so grateful!”

About: Headline: Cat Lover & Experienced Foster | Reliable Drop-Ins, Medication Care & Calm, Attentive Support Experience: I have a strong background in feline care through both personal experience and long-term fostering. I’m a cat mom to my two cats, Jupiter and Luna, who are both 3 years old, and caring for them has given me a deep understanding of daily routines, behavior, and the little things that help cats feel safe and comfortable. I have also fostered kittens from the bottle-feeding stage through adulthood, including long-term care for rescue kittens that required extra attention and consistency. I’m experienced with bottle feeding, litter box training, medication administration, and handling common health concerns like fleas, stomach issues, and upper respiratory infections. I know cats thrive best with patience, routine, and trust. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, extra medical care, or someone dependable for drop-in visits, I provide attentive care tailored to their personality and needs.

“Angela took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to my cat’s needs. I really appreciated the updates and peace of mind knowing everything was handled so well while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and everything in great shape. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Autumn was amazing. She took care of my two cats with pristine care. I got tons of pictures and videos as advertised from her visits. I've used a couple of rover sitters in the past and none come close to the service I received from Autumn. She even washed the cats food dishes for me. Something I did not expect or ask for. She went above and beyond of what I expected. The best thing was the constant communication. Autumn kept me well informed on a daily basis of her visits. I will always use Autumn and highly recommend you use her for you pet sitting needs.”
“Bethany is very engaging and always responds in a timely manner. My furbabies love her! It gives me peace when I’m away knowing she’s taking care of them. I highly recommend her.”

“Samantha was excellent with my antisocial senior cat! She took time to let her warm up to her and was actually able to pet her. She even brought a cat toy to try and get her to play. I’ll definitely be booking Sam for my future trips and highly recommend her!”
“Sean was absolutely amazing with our fur baby! He was punctual, he updated us on how Titan was feeling, and he sent us pictures of him every time he walked him. Sean was our first dog walker so we didn’t know what to expect, but he exceeded our expectations! I would book him in a heartbeat!”

“She's great! Really cared for our scared pups during their first time away from home. Definitely would use her again and recommend to anyone needing a caring and loving sitter for their fur babies.”
“I highly recommend Noelle. Our fur baby Max loves her. We have had no concerns leaving him with her for daycare and for an overnight. Max thinks he is apart of her family 😊”
“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!!!!”
“Candra was amazing! She took care of my dog on short notice and provided excellent care. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked so happy and comfortable with her. I could tell he was in great hands. Highly recommend her services and will definitely book again! Thank you!”
“Dani is an excellent sitter! She is very sweet and Ryder always comes home happy and tired. I love knowing my Ryder is being taken care of while im at work. Thank you!”

“Brandy is an excellent dog sitter!!! I’m so grateful to have found her. She was quick to respond and immediately made me feel at ease. Milo went to her home for daycare and he did not want to leave! She played with him, took walks with him, and even did some obedience training. Milo came home tired and happy. She also sent photos and videos which always puts me at ease. I would highly recommend!”

“Being able to book Benjamin has been a huge blessing in my life . After my dog was diagnosed with diabetus I worried how I would make sure she got her medicine on time as a single mom who works long hours . I was nervous about my first booking, but that immediately went out the window once I saw the pictures of their visit . Not only was there a smile on Eris's face, but he got a picture of him giving my younger cat pets. My cat is afraid of everyone and has a tendency to hide . The fact that my cat felt comfortable with him hold a huge weight with me. When I come home that night Eris also seemed extra excited as to say " mom I had a friend come over " . Benjamin is also really great with communication and has been flexible with my last minute scheduling. Thanks Benjamin .”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your pets when you can’t be with them. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and even raccoons over the years! While I’m new to Rover, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for animals and pet sitting for friends and family. Our home is full of pets we adore, including three dogs—a Siberian Husky, a Beagle/Australian Cattle Dog mix, and a Yorkie—along with several birds of different breeds and a turtle. Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. When caring for your pets, I treat them just like my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. ⸻ My Pet Care Philosophy I believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable even when their owners are away. My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel as normal and stress-free as possible by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of attention. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy—whether that’s playtime, long walks, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Communication is very important to me, so while you’re away I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing. I know from personal experience how comforting it is to know your pets are happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own pets. ⸻ Experience & Skills I’m comfortable caring for: • Dogs of all sizes and breeds • Cats • Birds and small pets • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Multi-pet households I’m also comfortable with: • Administering medications • Following feeding schedules and routines • Walks and exercise • Cleaning litter boxes and cages • Providing lots of affection and attention ⸻ What You Can Expect When your pet is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Lots of love and attention 🐾 Safe and reliable care 🐾 Updates and photos while you’re away 🐾 Respect for your home and your pet’s routine My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and happy. ⸻ Meet & Greets I’m always happy to schedule a free meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get to know me before booking.

“My dogs love Felicitas so much! I've had such piece of mind knowing that they are being taken care of and loved on while I'm out of town. She's the best”
About: I've been dog sitting/walking for over 15 years to many different size dogs of many different ages. I worked at pet stores and as a vet tech for many years. I have volunteered at Zoos and Animal Rehabilitation centers. I love and can take care of many different animals! I currently have 2 dogs, a cat, a snake, a tarantula, and fish tanks; but I’ve had & cared for many other kinds of animals before (lizards, birds, tortoises, etc). I am very detail oriented, and animals always come first in my life. I just moved here from Florida and have no other job obligations currently. I have my own pets but have a partner to take care of our babies while I focus on yours. I don't bring animals to my personal home but always have the utmost respect for other's homes. I make sure to follow the house rules for the animals and never leave a mess.
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have experience with all sizes and breeds. I am active and punctual. Any care that is needed for a dog I can provide with 100%. Working with Animals has always been a dream. I can work during the week or weekends if need be. Any time after 10 a.m is functional for me. I live in an apartment, meaning walks, potty breaks and play time are essential to me. I try to limit time that dogs spend alone in the backyard by themselves. Socialize them with myself and build a bond with activities and even training I can do.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels from a young age and I am currently training a puppy. I am a stay at home dog mom! I am currently a stay at home dog mom to a German shepherd puppy. We go on lots of walks and have plenty of potty breaks. I have a fenced in back yard and a sweet playful pup to keep your dogs company! They will get lots of love and attention!
“Joseph has done a great job walking our dogs. He's very good with them, he's on time when schedule to walk them, and he communicates with me about the dogs when needed. Thank You Joseph :)”
About: I was an active dog sitter for my neighbor’s puppy in high school, where I helped with basic training and daily care. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine. I’m happy to help part-time and make sure your puppy gets the attention and care they need. Taking care of pets in there own home give them a sense of comfortably and familiarity which will make it easy to care for 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!”
“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!”
“Cristen and her family are wonderful to work with. It’s clear they love animals and treat all the dogs that stay with them as their own. Would definitely recommend them!”
“Jackie was amazing taking care of my Teddy. He took to her right away and she reassured me the whole week he was with her with status updates and pics. I highly recommend her!”
“Our first time leaving our 4yr old boxer pups, Archie & Lulu with Rover.com caregiver, was a very positive, comforting experience! Elisabeth was very responsive, experienced, personable and organized: clean and family and dog friendly home. She sent us daily updates and photos of our dog "kids," which was comforting! Dogs were relaxed and happy. We will definitely use Elisabeth again and highly recommend her!”
“She was very caring and responsive. It was Yuki’s first time at a sitter and I felt like the parent on the first day of preschool. She alleviated me by sending photos and videos. She is my YUKI Sitter!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.
“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!!”
“Isaac and Omaira once again go above and beyond. My littlest poodle wasn't wanting to take his medicine and they went & got some greenies pill packs which I'm using now - works like a charm! Thanks again guys!”
“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”
“Kacie was sooooo nice and welcoming from the very 1st text to the meet & greet. She made us feel so at ease while at the meet & greet. She wanted to ensure she took care of our furbaby in the same manner as we do & that meant the WORLD to us!!!!! She took the time to ask all the pertinent & important questions and asked if we had any of her as well. She took & sent pics to us keeping us updated regularly. She made it soooo much easy for us to spend our vacation at ease knowing our furbaby was in HER CARE!!! She provided EXCELLENT CARE for Bruno!!!! He will be returning to her again in a few weeks!!! Im soooo happy to have found Kacie!!!!!”
“This was a great booking for Jake and I. We were traveling for my homecoming and didn’t want to keep him in the hotel bored. Jamel offered an inviting playful space for Jake, I like sitters who care for other dogs so Jake can have ample playtime. I was also close by if anything happened versus leaving him at home. Overall this was a great stay and will book again when in town.”
“Bree had a wonderful experience at Jeff's home. He and his wife were very nice and accommodating. I received pictures of Bree everyday. We will definitely use Jeff again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog, Ace, with Katherine and her husband. Their space was very clean and well kept, with plenty of space for Ace to relax or play. He warmed up well and seemed pretty comfortable with them. Katherine sent updates and plenty of photos. I would definitely recommend her services and book with her again in the future.”
“Quick to help out on a short notice and understands the quick pace of military life. Very helpful, great with our dogs and would trust her with our animals again.”
“Brandy and her family took outstanding care of my dog Luna during her boarding stay. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such loving and capable hands. They treated her like part of their own family and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. I truly appreciate their kindness, reliability, and the genuine love they showed for Luna. I would absolutely book with them again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and caring home for their pet. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Hilary and her family took great care of my dog Peanut! I appreciated her updates and flexibility through the stay. Our pup had anxiety and she took great care to make her comfortable. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Lora is great! My pup is always healthy and happy when he comes back, and she takes great pics to boot. Lora was even able to keep him for an extra night and deliver him back to me when I had an emergency that totaled my car. So glad she was able to help 🙏🏼”
