“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.”
“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!”
“Dea cared for our 2 cats for nearly 20 days while our family traveled. We received daily updates that reassured us they were shown attention and love. One of our cats has a medical condition that requires extra help. Dea confidently took care of her needs and we picked her up in perfect health. Thank you Dea for looking after our precious cats like we would. We are happy to have a sitter to use in the future that we can trust.”
“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!”
“Amazing people, big backyard. Audi (pup) interaction was amazing, the way he was happy to give her kisses which reassured me he had a good time. Came home with pup and he plop right on the floor from the amount of fun he had. 100% will book again!!!!!!”
“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!!!!!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Issac and Lilly were wonderful caretakers for my senior Chihuahua. They kept her safe around the other, larger dogs and gave her lots of love and time in the sun. It's just what she needed! Thank you both!”
“Milena was great! She treated my boy like one of her own. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures as I was initially anxious about leaving him. Thank you so much for treating him well! We will be booking with her again!”
“Oh my gosh! My boy Neeko had THE BEST time!!!! Cristen was great at sharing photos and videos during his 2 night weekend visit. Her communication is so good. Micheal playing out in the yard with him throwing the ball. The whole family gave Neeko lots of love as if he were their own. Once I picked Neeko up and got him home, he slept the rest of the day. He was completely worn out!! If he were a kid, I think he would be talking about his sleepover for days!!! Lol. I could not have found a more perfect family to love my baby. 🥰”
“Maeghan was amazing with Frida (our baby) her whole family took wonderful care of her for four days. She played and had a wonderful time. We will definitely be asking for Maeghan services again! Thanks so very much!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am very pleased. A'Lauren was so informative while I was away. I will definitely use her again!!! This left my mind at ease!!!”
“What a wonderful home for my dog Pixie to visit. I think her time there was like being on vacation. Lauryn did a fantastic job. The home is cleaner than mine. The fenced in back yard is spacious. The whole family is attentive and loving towards Pixie. Highly recommend.”
“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.”

About: I have taken care of huskies and neighbors dogs when I was younger and in my parents house. Now that I have my own home and backyard, I want to continue taking care of dogs, even if it's just for a couple of days! I have been a dog walker for several people around the Newport News area. I'm totally dedicated on the weekends! Available all day long! Monday through Friday, I work full time, working from 8-3:30. I'm available after 3:30 to pet sit, walk dogs, or take care of your pet. I have a fenced yard and a loving little white dog that can be your dogs companion during their stay! During the weekend, I am completely dedicated to pet sitting!
“My wife and I have three cats. We traveled to Brazil, in South America, for two weeks and left our cats in Elizabeth's care. She was very responsible, attentive and looked after our children very well. She gave us a lot of confidence and we were able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. We have automatic equipments (feeders, water tank and litter box) and she had the patience to understand how they work and keep them running while we were away. On each visit she sent reports on how the pets were doing with photos. We found her to be very hard-working and competent. Thank you very much, Elizabeth! My wife and I travel frequently and we'll be calling on her to take care the cats next times.”
“This was the first time that Montse took care of our cats and I'll definitely book with her again! She came by to meet the cats and get the key a few days before the booking, then communicated very well throughout it. She sent lots of pictures of my more social kitty and did her best to find the other one who hides from every cat sitter we've ever had. :) I also really like that she sent a picture of the full food and water bowls, so I knew that they had enough. Best of all, both cats were healthy and happy when we returned!”
About: A calm, attentive sitter who understands feline personalities and routines. I provide gentle companionship, clean spaces, and consistent updates so you always feel connected while you’re away. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for.
“Stephanie did an amazing job!!! I would feel safe leaving my girls with her anytime. She was very sweet and patient with them and sent me updates and pictures. 10 out of 10.”
“Joseph was extremely professional and I would absolutely hire him again! My cat is very skittish and afraid of new people but he had patience to coax her out and make her comfortable during his visits. Just a few days in she was bounding for the door and eager to play with him during the entire visit, and I couldn’t have left her in better hands.”
“Jenna was great with my puppies and rally relieved a bunch of stress for me by stopping by on a last minute request! She is reliable and respectful. Definitely would reccomend!”
“Tawny was great! I have a senior dog with special needs on multiple medications, and he had just had surgery. She listened attentively as I was going over his medical needs and care. During his visits she sent me updates and lots of pictures. Everything was taken care of for him exactly as he needed.”
About: You can finally relax knowing your pet will be safe, treated like family and given all the love. Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom located in the Hilton area of Newport News. I’m active, reliable, and available from early mornings until late afternoon. I’ve cared for everything from a home full of 7 cats and 4 labradoodles (all at once!) to countless pets belonging to friends, family, and friends of friends. I have a 6 year old son with special needs who absolutely adores pets so if you’re looking for boarding, please make sure your pet is child-friendly. During the day however, he’s in school and I will be able to cover those who may not be small child friendly. I don’t mind hopping in the car to take your pup to the park or on a trail if they need more than just a quick lap around the block. I’m a big morning person who thrives on routine but, full disclosure, I avoid rush hour or late-night driving since my son is with me after 3:30 p.m. Monday–Friday. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or a place to stay while you’re away, I am here to help. Just drop me and line❤️ I’m available Mon-Fri from 5am-5pm for walks, parks, even just a home visit and car ride if your pet just needs some 1:1 during work hours. Weekends are limited so send me a message during the week to check availability. I have a large yard but it is not fenced. My son and I enjoy walking whenever we can around our neighborhood in Hilton. I have a pet and baby proof clean home with a gentle loving child. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me so you won’t have to worry about anyone making a mess and it not being cleaned up.
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.
About: I’ve had my baby since 2019 and the new addition since 2022! My love for cats is endless and I’m very well at understanding their needs! My goals are to respect their boundaries and hopefully they’ll let me love them as much as I love my own!

“Samantha is a great sitter for Tilly. Any day of the week I need, she is always accomadating. I know Tilly is in good hands with her and always getting attention. Tilly looks forward to going over there and always comes back happy and tired. Thank you for continuing to watch Tilly!”
About: If you are a regular, please contact me directly as I am booked daily frequently but I will make wiggle room for my familiar friends. I am now accepting bookings for summer & autumn 2026. Except for cats - My adult daughter is my regular backup if needed and she usually covers cats visits because they loooove her. *** BONDED/INSURED and I guarantee my behavior in your home!!! Please check with any of my other clients. I love being video taped!!! Your home is just as safe as your pets! I’ve been the go-to girl for pet care in my extended family, friends, neighbors and even within my church for decades. I’ve helped puppies being born and taken care of seniors who needed medication. I work from home and set hours as you need me. I'm available on short notice if I know you. Otherwise, I prefer a meet and greet with new customers. Details are important for all of us. For Drop-In Visits, what is comfortable for your animal is what I do. We can do playtime or just feed/water/love. Puppies can use me for mountain climbing and senior dogs find me a restful friend. I work with cats as well as dogs and am not afraid of keeping a litterbox clean. Also, if you have any tentative travel plans for 2026; please let me know as soon as possible. I hate turning people down but I already have week long overnight bookings scheduled every month into thru May. I would be glad to block out dates while you firm up your plans, if needed. My work zone is limited - I try to only take jobs within a ***3 MILE radius of CEDAR LANE*** - so I can focus on each pet instead of driving all over the place. If you ask any of my regulars, you will find I can (and have been) called in on an emergency with no hesitation. I only take 1 drop-in on days I have my regular or 3 drop ins on my ‘free’ days. Sittings are a case by case basis but if your pet will work with me, I would love to work with them. I will book as far as 12 MONTHS in advance if you need me. I work my schedule around your pets. Any questions, I will be glad to answer. For clarification - Drop-ins are scheduled between 9 am and 8pm. My phone only works during these hours unless I am sitting your pet. House/Pet sittings can be during the day or an overnight stay. Usually, Day shift is 9am to 5 pm but I am willing to work with you as your schedule requires. Walks and sittings are different things. But I will gladly work with you if you give me advance notice. Overnight stays are usually 8-10pm as needed to 8am. Please ask if you need a different schedule during reservation. If I know in advance, I’m glad to work with you and your pet(s). Hope this helps, I’ve gotten a lot of questions lately. 😉 I am so sorry my rates have gone up but gas and insurance is killing me as an independent contractor. I am willing to give discounts on multi day visits or long stays if you work with me. Thank you! 😊 This is my job and I love it. Meeting and spending time with new animals is a joy. I'm building my business through word of mouth so you have all my attention. Let me be of help. I answer text/calls between 9am and 11pm unless I am driving, working with someone, or out of town. My catch up day is Monday so if I do not have furry friends to visit and if I'm slow to answer, it’s because I'm covered in my dogs and cannot move. (They are little but insistent.) or running my many errands. I WILL respond to every request even if you are not in my zone. But I cannot respond while working or at church. You and your furry family are important to me, please let me prove it. I'm always willing to do drop ins and dog sitting. I love doing house sitting stays as it lets your pet be comfortable in his/her own space and keep to their schedule. I will follow your rules meticulously! Please feel free to contact anyone I have worked with, I'm very proud of the reviews I've been given. I will work with you and your pet to get the same happy review. I limit my work area so I spend more time with your pet and not traveling. Overnight covers a 10-12 hour period such as 8 pm to 8am.
“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.”

“Vianca and her family were so wonderful to Calvin. He had so much fun there, was so excited every morning and made me drag him away when it was time to leave. Her dogs played nicely with my puppy. They adhered to providing him a couple dedicated crate naps daily. Would def use Vianca again! Thank you!”
“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!! :)”
“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 😊”
About: Animals have always been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home where there were always dogs and cats around, caring for them wasn’t just a responsibility, it was part of daily life. Over the years, I have personally raised and cared for three dogs of my own, each with different personalities and needs, which taught me patience, structure, and how to connect with animals on an individual level. Most recently, I adopted another dog into the family, adding even more joy and playful to the house. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I have experienced it all training, playtime, feeding routines, crate care, walks, and of course, lots of cuddles. Whether your pet is shy or social, active or relaxed, we understand how to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I have a partner who has been pet sitting for her friends and co-workers last 4 years. I work at shipyard, but my work is pretty flexible that I can check out our dogs or any other pet frequently to make sure they receive enough attention love and most importantly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment where dogs can relax and be themselves. I have a fully fenced big yard for safe outdoor play, and I supervise all interactions to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to crate preferences and bedtime habits — so they feel right at home. I never use harsh corrections; instead, I rely on positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance. I also keep my home clean, pet-proofed, and free of anything unsafe. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, we make sure they always feel safe, respect. I will keep sending regular updates and pictures or videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and love caring for them! I have specific experience with dogs and training them. I understand that pets are more than just animals and are a special part of your family. I have also volunteered with the SPCA so I know how to care for rescues as well! I am very reliable and organized and would love to care for your fur baby! I’m currently on summer break so I am able to commit fully to caring for your pet! I’d to take them on walks, play with them, and spend quality time with them as much as needed! I currently live in an apartment with my husband so we would be able to give them full one on one attention. We live in a very safe private neighborhood with lots of grassy areas to ensure their comfort.
“Sherlean was so wonderful and kind to my dog. She has been very flexible and is a true animal lover. We will miss her and her family and great care as we moved back to Florida. Thank you so kindly”
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.

About: I've owned and cared for many kinds of animals: cats, dogs, birds, other caged, and aquatic (freshwater & salt) pets. With vet tech experience, I have a trained eye for catching and often solving problems. As a horticulturist, I can even care for your plant collection. I simply adore most living things! Being semi-retired and self-employed gives me freedom to create my own schedule. I'm able to fit most timeframes except prior to 9 am as I have my own menagerie to care for first thing! Having had VIP clients in DC for so long, safety and security are ingrained in me. It's critical for your animals, your home, and my own well-being. I follow your instructions or my own protocols as needed, since every pet and home is unique. In my own home, your pet would have their own separate room/space and/or be closely monitored when in the rest of the house. If I accept a mini dog for boarding, they will be on a leash at all times when outside for potty breaks or a walk.

“Great Sitter/Walker, Sarah was very communicative and the whole weekend went smooth thanks to her. My Dog lived her and Sarah took great care of my dog. Also took great pics while feeding and waking Bently!!! I’m so appreciative.”
“Tashaun was my first walker on this app and did exactly as I asked! Because it was my first walk, he even gave me a coupon code for a free walk! He responded quickly/efficiently, sent picture updates, and left everything exactly how it was. He also did this on such short notice. My pup seemed happy. Thanks again!”
“Thank you for taking the time to take him on his walk. He seems to love you a lot. He gets attached very easily to people. I saw the way he ran to the door when you came Tuesday. I will be utilizing your services once winter break is over. Thank you for taking care of him.”
About: With years of experience in dog sitting, including specific expertise in caring for elderly dogs and administering medication, I offer a nurturing environment for your fur baby. I work from home in a small, cozy residence that includes access to a nearby dog park. Your dog will enjoy long walks, playtime, and free-range freedom in a loving setting. I started this business because, after losing my own dog, I deeply miss the joy and comfort that a dog brings. I’m not ready to get another pet just yet, so I’m dedicated to providing the same care and affection to your beloved pets. Your dog will receive personalized attention and a comforting presence while you're away. My schedule is very flexible. Working from home allows me to set my own hours and breaks. I have the ability to work around your dogs schedule. I allow your pets to have free range around my home. They are allowed to jump on furniture just as long as they are groomed and clean before their stay.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life! My dream job was to be a veterinarian until I realized I’d probably get attached to the animals haha. I’ve been house/pet sitting for relatives for the past 7 years now and I love it!! I love being able to take them to dog parks, playing, or even just having a chill day! I also love to spoil the pets by buying extra toys to play with and some good snacks! I think doing rover and being able to care for others pets will be a great way to spend my time since I love animals! I update my calendar every 2 weeks and communicate through my inbox! If there’s a note given on specific times to feed or walk I’ll follow them exactly as written. I won’t ever do something without asking/notifying the owner. I’d spend quality time with the pet and try to get them to trust me and build a bond!
About: I have always had pets around, Honestly I love them all and can’t see my life without them. They take care of us in the best possible ways and I love the experiences I get with each one. It means a lot to be able to be able to wake up and do something that I love and to help others in the process. I will genuinely take care of every need down to the final detail when it comes to caring for your dogs whether they have allergies or special medications anything at all to make not just them happy but you guys happy as well. I know I am happiest knowing that my dogs in good hands when I leave for a vacation and I will always be more than happy to send photos. I am currently a stay at home mom to a wonderful kiddo who loves any and all animals just as much as I do. We typically are available all week but may be unavailable once a month due to appointments. I prefer going by a set schedule provided by the pet parents this can be in regards to walking, eating habits, or medications if needed.
“Elizabeth is our Go To person for dog anything. I could have cancelled this dog walk because my plans changed, but I kept the appointment because my doggie is SO HAPPY to see and be with Elizabeth! Thank you, Elizabeth!”
About: You can finally relax knowing your pet will be safe, treated like family and given all the love. Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom located in the Hilton area of Newport News. I’m active, reliable, and available from early mornings until late afternoon. I’ve cared for everything from a home full of 7 cats and 4 labradoodles (all at once!) to countless pets belonging to friends, family, and friends of friends. I have a 6 year old son with special needs who absolutely adores pets so if you’re looking for boarding, please make sure your pet is child-friendly. During the day however, he’s in school and I will be able to cover those who may not be small child friendly. I don’t mind hopping in the car to take your pup to the park or on a trail if they need more than just a quick lap around the block. I’m a big morning person who thrives on routine but, full disclosure, I avoid rush hour or late-night driving since my son is with me after 3:30 p.m. Monday–Friday. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or a place to stay while you’re away, I am here to help. Just drop me and line❤️ I’m available Mon-Fri from 5am-5pm for walks, parks, even just a home visit and car ride if your pet just needs some 1:1 during work hours. Weekends are limited so send me a message during the week to check availability. I have a large yard but it is not fenced. My son and I enjoy walking whenever we can around our neighborhood in Hilton. I have a pet and baby proof clean home with a gentle loving child. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me so you won’t have to worry about anyone making a mess and it not being cleaned up.

“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!”

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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Issac and Lilly were wonderful caretakers for my senior Chihuahua. They kept her safe around the other, larger dogs and gave her lots of love and time in the sun. It's just what she needed! Thank you both!”
“Milena was great! She treated my boy like one of her own. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures as I was initially anxious about leaving him. Thank you so much for treating him well! We will be booking with her again!”
“Oh my gosh! My boy Neeko had THE BEST time!!!! Cristen was great at sharing photos and videos during his 2 night weekend visit. Her communication is so good. Micheal playing out in the yard with him throwing the ball. The whole family gave Neeko lots of love as if he were their own. Once I picked Neeko up and got him home, he slept the rest of the day. He was completely worn out!! If he were a kid, I think he would be talking about his sleepover for days!!! Lol. I could not have found a more perfect family to love my baby. 🥰”
“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!”
“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!”
“Joseph took wonderful care of our dog Mattie. He sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout and was also very flexible when we needed to add an extra day unexpectedly. Highly recommend!”
“We Had the pleasure of using Britanny to watch over our sweet millie and it was a great experience. Britanny made sure she kept us in the loop and put all of our worries to rest with updates,pics, Etc. Being that it was our first time ever using a sitter, she made our stay away from millie extremely pleasant. Thank you again Brittany. I would highly recommend.”
“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!!”
“Heather is wonderful!! Both our pups love her and her kids! Our lab loves to play catch and it is great that her little ones love to play catch too. I love it that the pups jump out of the car when we get to Heather’s house! They are so excited to see her and the kiddos. I feel so good knowing they are so well taken care of. Thanks so much for being our go to place!!”
