“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!”
“I’m so glad I found Shanae, I was at ease while I was away. I loved the pics and videos she sent daily. I felt like my Frankie preferred being in a home environment where he can get 1:1 attention versus a boarding facility with dozens of other dogs.”
“Gunna had a great time and made himself at home with Jessica and her kids. He had a fun time playing in the large backyard and on his walks. Jessica was quick to respond, gave us daily updates, and above all was able to watch Gunna last minute.”
“Emily was amazing with my cat Juno! She was flexible with scheduling and helped me get Juno into her kennel (easier said than done). Emily also made sure Juno was well fed and gave me an update on how she did during her stay. As a new cat dad, I really appreciated how friendly Emily was!”
“Brandy was great as always! 5 Stars is definitely not enough! I know I can count on her to give my pups the best care. Even during a short overnight, they get lots of love and activities. Thank you, Brandy!”
“Aurelie was absolutely incredible with Hermione! I received frequent pictures, very clear and helpful communication and she took incredible care of my big baby! She even dealt with very upset tummy situations and was incredible!! Will be using her every time I travel, my girl loved her!”
“Rodney is amazing! He took good care of our sweet standard poodle while we were out of town. Very responsive and friendly. My dog had the best days while staying with him. Highly recommend him!”
“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.”
“I had a worry free vacation thanks to Angela and Cami!! They took such good care of my pup! Photo updates and walks on the beach! Will most definitely be using them in the future!”
“We came to VA to bring our son to college, the furbaby was slightly in the way (please don’t tell him I said that!)…so, I contacted Tyrah and she responded immediately and was willing to take our baby with short notice. Tyrah was an absolute god send. She was so polite, her place is super clean— I think my baby came back cleaner than I left him! lol… She sent me daily pictures of my baby settling in just fine with her. He came back mild mannered with his lover boy cuddly personality (usually he comes back from sitters pretty rowdy and jumpy), but not this time. I honestly couldn’t tell he had been away. As much as I want to keep Tyrah a secret (and take her back to GA with me), I’ll tell y’all how great she is and what an amazing gem you have in the Hampton area! She truly was the best! She did everything I asked and more. I appreciate her a million times over and will contact her whenever we’re in town! I will definitely share my amazing find with the Hampton U parents who stay home due to not being able to get a local sitter. Thank you, Tyrah!! 💕”
About: Hi my name is Tonia and I'm a very neat a clean person who doesn't smoke. I will love your fur baby as my own while they are in my care. I offer walks, cuddles, treats, play time, visits to the park and lots of love. While house sitting, I will gather your mail, ensure your place stays neat and clean as well as water plants. I'm available weekends anytime. Early morning before 10am and after 6pm during the week. I can house sit during the week if arranged with little notice. I prefer to do drop ins for cats. I have experience with giving medication, caring for post surgery animals and provide puppy services. I will also provide bath services with notice for a small fee. * I do not house sit overnight in cat homes sorry * Why trust me? Because I have loads of experience. I have experience house/pet sitting and caring for animals for family, friends and co workers. I'm a very clean person with great time management and abilities to multitask.
“Julie and Kenneth were wonderful with our miniature schnauzer, River! We received updates with pictures on how she was doing throughout her stay with them, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her with this wonderful family! Highly recommend!”
About: I've worked in animal welfare & shelters since 2015. I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats with various personalities and needs. I personally own 3 dogs and several cats all at various ages. One of my cats is disabled- and I've owned and worked with dogs and cats that have special needs (seziures, CH, deaf, blind), take daily medications, and possess specific breed traits/personalities that can't make them difficult to manage. Currently work remote and have a large amount of flexibility in between travel for work. I can prov8de limited boarding in home- dogs must be able to coexhist with cats, be able to be crated and/or left in a single room unattended, and be respectful of baby gates. I do have a separate space for cats that is easier to manage. Current cats in the home do free roams but there is an entire space devoted to the dogs in the home. Can crate and rotate as needed and care for up to 2 dogs if everyone can get along. In your home I prefer to stick to as close of a routine that you provide them with- from their potty breaks to morning and evening walks. Staying as consistent as possible can help provide a relaxing trip for you and your pet.
“I don't know where to start. She is absolutely the best care giver for your fur baby. Mocha was loved and she sent me pictures and videos while I was in Minnesota. She even updated me with all her moods and behavior with other puppies. I'm so thankful.”
“Samuel was absolutely amazing! I think Silk had a mini vacation - long walks, pets, and pool time, he couldn't have been happier! Samuel provided excellent communication and kept us updated with photos. When we picked Silk up, he greeted us and ran circles around us and Samuel, even further confirming Silk had a great time and enjoyed his visit! Thanks Samuel!”

“I appreciate Kaitlyn taking my reservation at the last minute. My mother passed away and was able to grove without concerns about Mina. I love the Rover business model .”
“Felicitas did an outstanding job with my cat Onyx. She arrived promptly...gave Onyx lots of love...and did a great job of keeping the litter box and water fountain clean. I'd definitely use her again.”
About: I've taken care of many cats since I was 16, from friends to family to my community, I have experience with trimming claws, giving meds, and giving space for them to sort me out themselves. I'm a very peaceful person, so cats usually to enjoy my presence as much as I enjoy theirs (as they are secretly my favorite animal to interact with)
About: I have been a dog mom for the past 15 years and I love taking care of all types of dogs! I have bulldogs of my own so I have a lot of experience with eye and oral medication administration for dogs, and cleaning regimens. We believe in our house that it’s the utmost priority that dogs are loved and advocated for. If you trust me with your pup, I will make sure that they are taken care of the way you would take care of them; with all the love, care and understanding that you put into your relationship with your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I am currently not working a full-time job in person so I have lots of flexibility. I do work from home and I have the flexibility on the days that I do work. At my home, we have a very loving environment for dogs. A big concern when you utilize a Dog sitter is the safety of your pet and so at our house, we do have rules that we follow routines that we make with each individual Dog and we focus on trying to keep those routines to make sure that every dog is safe and taken care of. For senior dogs we can also offer accommodations for their physical disabilities as well as offering separate spaces where they can rest on their own without interacting with other dogs. If you have a puppy or a dog that has been difficult to train, I can also offer some basic training skills that I’ll use with my dogs to make sure that everybody stays safe and is comfortable during their visit whether I’m visiting your home or you’re having your dog visit my home.
“Megan is caring, attentive, has attention to detail and took great care of our pets! She is quick to respond and offered us updates after each visit. Thank you so much, Megan! We appreciate you!”
About: Working in animal shelters since 2015 has given me a lot of experience and knowledge about our feline friends and just how sensitive they can be. I personally have 8 cats (2 of which are my sisters). 1 has special needs and several are seniors. My background has seens it all!
“Danielle did an amazing job watching my fur babies!! I was super nervous leaving them but she always responded to me when I had a question or just needed to let her know something! I will be using her again in the future!”
“Renee was amazing. She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away from our babies. Our big pup can get anxious, but Renee was so great with her. And her communication was great! We miscounted the food we left and she communicated early enough that were able to order the food to the house without any interruption. Will for sure be using her for future bookings!”
“Barbara was great, I felt so at ease while I was away from my cat Piper for the holidays. She was consistent and sent great pictures daily, with great communication throughout. Will definitely be booking her again”

I am currently working and going to school online so this provides me with a very flexible schedule with all oddities of availability for you and your pet. 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!
“Kim was very sweet and accommodating! It was my first time leaving my 12-week old puppy with anyone and she easily settled down with Kim and her two dogs. Would definitely recommend her to other dog parents :)”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We usually do a boarding with Cassandra which my dog loves, but even for a day care stay, Cassandra goes above and beyond to make Pin happy! I love the photos and communication about how he is doing.”
About: I’ve grown up with many animals in my home. Ranging from dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I know what it means to feel at ease knowing your pets are being well taken care of while you’re away. Let me be that person for you. Currently, I am a stay at home mom with one small child. Which makes my availability pretty flexible. I will try my best to work out our schedules so that your pets get all the attention they need. I do not view our pets as just pets. They are an extension of our family. Just as much a family member as any other. They deserve time, respect, and love. Nothing feels more rewarding than earning the love and trust of another animal. I strive to provide the best care for God’s beautiful creatures.
“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!!!!”

“Rebecca was great with Ellie! Her dogs are very well behaved too and you can tell she’s a dog expert. Professional and timely communication through and through. Will be booking again for doggy daycare!”
“Tishea was amazing. She was friendly and had great communication. I had a unique situation and she was very understanding and worked with me. I also loved how loving she was with my 2 fur babies. I will definitely book in the future”
“Rebecka & John were great with our girl Zoe. She was in their care for the first time for doggy daycare. They replied promptly with pics when we would ask and helped us feel better that she was having a good time. She came home happy and tired. Thanks for taking care of our girl!”
About: I used to have another rover account and dog watching was my full time job for about 3 years. I quit for a little bit but now I am a stay at home mom and have a 4 1/2 year old golden who loves everyone and just wants some friends to play with. I am a stay at home mom and have a dog of my own so adding a few more never hurts. My golden daisy is my child she is so spoiled and if you trust me with your dog they will be too. She is full of energy and loves all dogs and people haha. She does not know what stranger danger is. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I am also able to split up my house to have dogs in separate areas when they need a break from each other. This will be my full time job aside from being a mom so I am always home.
“Xiaolin and Zidong were so sweet to my pup and they were so kind and polite with me as well! They have a beautiful backyard with loads of space and their own pup got along great with mine. Will definitely be using them again soon!! :)”
About: Over 20 years of being farm raised and understanding how to care for pets. Exceptional with routine, caregiving and listening to the details of your pet's care needs. I currently work from home and am available for early and late drop offs for your fur baby's daycare or overnight stay needs. Emergency situations also considered on a client by client scenario. The beach is my back yard and offers wonderful sights and sounds for your pet. Inside the home is quiet, and gentle so your little one feels safe and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and loving pet caregiver who treats every dog like my own. I provide safe walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I understand how important routines and comfort are, so your fur baby will always feel secure and cared for with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my day around consistency, responsibility, and attention to detail. I schedule feeding times, walks, and check-ins so each pet gets reliable care without rushing. I’m already used to managing a structured home routine, so adding pet care flows smoothly with my day. I make sure I’m fully present during each visit—giving pets focused attention, playtime, and care while also staying organized with communication and updates for the owner. My home is set up with safety in mind, including a fully fenced front and back yard to give pets secure outdoor space for play and potty breaks. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they stay safe and comfortable. Indoors, I keep all doors secured, remove any hazards, and create a calm, pet-friendly environment. 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

About: Hello! I love animals and I’ve worked with them professionally for over a year at an animal shelter and more at a boarding facility. I have had animals and dogs all my life, from big dogs (like my current 2 year old yellow Labrador Retriever), energetic boxers, to small mixed chihuahuas. Also mostly every other critter like birds, ferrets, hamsters, fish, snakes, chinchillas, lizards, etc. But not bugs. I’ve raised dogs from puppies, potty trained, crate trained, and have completed my 7th dog obedience training class with my current dog. Neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets for weeks at a time. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I am a wife, home-maker, and dog mom and have open availability anytime during the week and weekend. I have been professionally trained in cat and dog behavior/care at a shelter and a boarding facility. I am also professionally trained in dog health from the medical clinic in the shelter. I will take care of your animals however they need!
About: I used to work for farmville Va animal shelter for two years,I worked for a private dog boarding center for a year, and I used to have a small business for a year in Farmville Va for pet sitting. I adore and love animals with all my heart, growing up wasn’t easy but having a friendly face such as a pet made it a lot easier. I rescued my hound, Mrs Eve and she has been the best blessing I could ask for. I found her on the side of the road super sick and could barely walk, so I took her to the shelter and adopted her on Christmas Eve! She is up to date with all of her shots and is in very good health! When I found her they believed she was 6-7 weeks old but she was actually 6 months old but was super sick from parasites eating her from inside-out, now she is four years old and living her best life! When I pet sit, I treat the animals as my own! I enjoy being the only sitter with the animals, as I love their love and affection! I am a full caretaker of my dog as well! I work on the weekends so my week days are usually free! Me and my husband have a routine with our dog so we walk her before heading to work and as soon as we get home we walk her as well. She does have food down throughout the day but usually only eats if we are home from work as she sleeps all day! We play with her and her mountain of toys when we come home from work. We do trails/beach walk with her on days we are not busy or working as she deserves to have adventures as well! She sometimes sees our neighbors Dog outside so we allow them two to play together for a little before returning inside! I only have my hound dog Mrs Eve and she stays indoors as we live in an apartment but me and my husband goes on trails with her,take her outside a lot throughout the day and when we aren’t home we have a Roku camera watching her to make sure she is safe! Our neighbor has our number incase of any danger to the building because we would drop anything for the safety of our child (our dog Eve)!
“Laurelyn took great care of our puppies! She was always on time, and impressively quiet when she came in to get the puppies. They always came home from their walks happy and tired. Thanks Laurelyn! 🐾”

About: I've taken care of pets from dogs to lizards since I was 12, and have been doing drop-ins and house-sitting for family, friends, and my community for as long as I've been able to drive. I'm able to give meds for older dogs with more needs, and have trained my own dogs well in obedience training, so I have plenty of experience with a firm voice for more unruly dogs that need a little extra attention. I'm good with all animals (even the wild ones), and have experience caring for animals that need to stay separated, and am willing and able to adapt to any family I need. I currently am between jobs, the only duty I have is taking care of my own pets (amd occasionally younger siblings) so I have plenty of time to look after and care for pets I have a gentle hand and a firm voice, and have experience with obedience-training dogs particularly, and have faith in my ability to care for even the more unruly of pets. I am comfortable with crate-training and crate-trained dogs, as well as shutting them in their own room when no one is present in the home. I also have good leash experience, so walks would be easy and comfortable for me.
“Felicitas once again has provided wonderful service for our Jax. She graciously accommodated a very last minute change. She sends lots of pics. Thank you!”
“Both my dog and I think Claire is the best! She was professional, prompt and a good communicator. And - she went above and beyond - giving Coltrane long walks and lots of attention. I totally recommend her and Coltrane gives her a big paws up, too!”

“Jenna was great with my dog, Ellie. I’m new to the area and finding reliable care for my dog is very important to me. I’m glad to find Jenna and I look forward to having her walk Ellie on a regular basis.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young girl. I also have worked as a Veterinary Technician on Langley Air Force Base. I enjoy pet sitting all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I am retired and involved in some weekly activities, so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of pet sitting, not to mention the joy of being around pets. I am attentive, detail oriented and versatile. I believe in leaving things the way I found them, or better. I always strife to do my best at whatever I do, and I am a very trustworthy person.
About: Skills include: medication application, IV fluids, walking, playing, vet appointments, pregnancy assistance in birth, feeding, cleaning, bathing and most importantly cuddles! (Cuddles with consent of course) I have a remote job that doesn’t take up a lot of time so I am usually available and I have a love and passion for caring for animals and pets! I love animals and I had a cat named Precious for 18 years. I got a job at a vet hospital not only because I loved pets but because it was best for Precious. I was able to give her the best quality of life through my job and she sadly passed away in 2025. She was my special girl and I am ready to start caring for animals again. They matter a lot to me and I can’t bring myself to get another cat so I figured all the love and care I have in my heart, I should use it for good and help others in taking care of their precious babies. I’ve learned a lot while working at a vet hospital as well.
About: I have always had a love for pets! I got my latest dogther 5 years ago and she is a bundle of joy! Others may say I spoil her but I call it just loving her! ! All of my friends and family count on me to care for their pets while they are away and they know that they are in great hands and I will "spoil" their baby just as much as I do my own! I am a former Elementary school teacher. I’ve also worked with special needs children/adults. I am currently a life insurance broker and I work on my own schedule. Which will allow me to care for your pet anytime. I have a girl dog that is small, lovable, and will keep your fur baby company! I can also crate your dog if need be.
About: Growing up, I’ve always had a strong love for animals. Free of charge, I would cat sit for my neighbors while they went on vacation, walk my friends dogs in my spare time, and additionally scroll for hours on end through sites that had dogs for adoption. When I turned 13 years old my parents finally gave in. I’ve now had my dog (Riley) for almost 8 years. We’ve gone through nearly 8 birthdays, 7 gotcha days, countless training sessions, and an endless amount of love. She fills my heart all while simultaneously filling my camera roll. To me, she’s worth the extra phone storage payment😅 I’m currently 3rd-year college student studying biology on the premedical track. Before and after my classes begin, I’ll have plenty of free time to care for your pup. Each walk, I will be equipped with various supplies ranging from poo bags and paw wipes to fetching toys and water bowls. For home visits, I’ll ensure that your dog receives ample love and attention. I’ll do my best avoid any deviation from their normal routine!

“I’m so glad I found Shanae, I was at ease while I was away. I loved the pics and videos she sent daily. I felt like my Frankie preferred being in a home environment where he can get 1:1 attention versus a boarding facility with dozens of other dogs.”
“Gunna had a great time and made himself at home with Jessica and her kids. He had a fun time playing in the large backyard and on his walks. Jessica was quick to respond, gave us daily updates, and above all was able to watch Gunna last minute.”
“Emily was amazing with my cat Juno! She was flexible with scheduling and helped me get Juno into her kennel (easier said than done). Emily also made sure Juno was well fed and gave me an update on how she did during her stay. As a new cat dad, I really appreciated how friendly Emily was!”
“Brandy was great as always! 5 Stars is definitely not enough! I know I can count on her to give my pups the best care. Even during a short overnight, they get lots of love and activities. Thank you, Brandy!”
“Aurelie was absolutely incredible with Hermione! I received frequent pictures, very clear and helpful communication and she took incredible care of my big baby! She even dealt with very upset tummy situations and was incredible!! Will be using her every time I travel, my girl loved her!”
“Rodney is amazing! He took good care of our sweet standard poodle while we were out of town. Very responsive and friendly. My dog had the best days while staying with him. Highly recommend him!”
“We came to VA to bring our son to college, the furbaby was slightly in the way (please don’t tell him I said that!)…so, I contacted Tyrah and she responded immediately and was willing to take our baby with short notice. Tyrah was an absolute god send. She was so polite, her place is super clean— I think my baby came back cleaner than I left him! lol… She sent me daily pictures of my baby settling in just fine with her. He came back mild mannered with his lover boy cuddly personality (usually he comes back from sitters pretty rowdy and jumpy), but not this time. I honestly couldn’t tell he had been away. As much as I want to keep Tyrah a secret (and take her back to GA with me), I’ll tell y’all how great she is and what an amazing gem you have in the Hampton area! She truly was the best! She did everything I asked and more. I appreciate her a million times over and will contact her whenever we’re in town! I will definitely share my amazing find with the Hampton U parents who stay home due to not being able to get a local sitter. Thank you, Tyrah!! 💕”
About: I've worked in animal welfare & shelters since 2015. I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats with various personalities and needs. I personally own 3 dogs and several cats all at various ages. One of my cats is disabled- and I've owned and worked with dogs and cats that have special needs (seziures, CH, deaf, blind), take daily medications, and possess specific breed traits/personalities that can't make them difficult to manage. Currently work remote and have a large amount of flexibility in between travel for work. I can prov8de limited boarding in home- dogs must be able to coexhist with cats, be able to be crated and/or left in a single room unattended, and be respectful of baby gates. I do have a separate space for cats that is easier to manage. Current cats in the home do free roams but there is an entire space devoted to the dogs in the home. Can crate and rotate as needed and care for up to 2 dogs if everyone can get along. In your home I prefer to stick to as close of a routine that you provide them with- from their potty breaks to morning and evening walks. Staying as consistent as possible can help provide a relaxing trip for you and your pet.
“I don't know where to start. She is absolutely the best care giver for your fur baby. Mocha was loved and she sent me pictures and videos while I was in Minnesota. She even updated me with all her moods and behavior with other puppies. I'm so thankful.”
“Samuel was absolutely amazing! I think Silk had a mini vacation - long walks, pets, and pool time, he couldn't have been happier! Samuel provided excellent communication and kept us updated with photos. When we picked Silk up, he greeted us and ran circles around us and Samuel, even further confirming Silk had a great time and enjoyed his visit! Thanks Samuel!”
“Amazing and accommodating when had to extend at last minute. Really sweet and nice people. Notified me when stool was soft and kept monitoring. Will book again.”
“Rebecka and John provided great care to our pup Maya for 10 days. We received pictures and videos often, which helped us feel better during our trip. We will definitely book their dog sitting services in the future.”
“Highly recommend Kacie to anyone!!! We are semi-new to the area and needed to find someone to watch our 8 year old dog while we were away for a week trip out of the country. Kacie offered up doing a meet and greet which was extremely helpful. She answered all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable. While we were away, she sent daily pictures and updates. We didn’t have to worry at all! Our dog loved his time with Kacie and will definitely be having her watch our sweet pup again.”
“Amazing from beginning to end. Prompt communication and updates. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs for a long weekend while I was out of town and made sure he was comfortable. I would definitely book with Michelle again!”
“Erica is AMAZING!! I have a reactive dog and this was my first time boarding him. I was never comfortable leaving him because of his reactivity. Erica knew just how to handle him, even introduced him to her dogs with no reaction from him. She put all of my concerns at ease, answered all my questions and even treated a minor ear infection. She is honestly just the best, I think my dogs are upset they had to come home :)”
