MaryAnn did an awesome job watching my dog. She took her in on short notice over the holidays and sent me great pictures every day. She even gave her a small birthday party with extra turkey for dinner! Highly recommend!

My loved dogs received excellent care! Lots of pics. Dogs were brushed and clean when I picked them up. Their tiny dog got along great with my bigger dogs! I recommend them and would use again.

The plan was to go on vacation outside the country for 3 weeks. But concern about the health and welfare of my dogs left me on the verge of cancelling. They did not deserve to be dumped at the kennels to be left in a cage and friends and family were not available for 3 weeks. RB and Muffins, my two Shih Tzu, are extremely sociable and need interaction with humans. I was very fortunate to have found Rover.com which led me to Michelle. I would cancelled my vacation if I had not. I know I dropped off two happy dogs to her and picked-up two happy and healthy dogs 3 weeks later. Michelle and her Ben took really good care of my two kids. I know they were treated like family. Almost daily I received photos, and just the fact that I could easily communicate with her via e-mails gave me peace of mind. I will not hesitate to contact her for future stays.

I had to book last minute, like an hour before we had to leave, and she was accommodating and friendly from the start! Her communication was great before and during my pet's stay, and I can tell she loves what she does! My pet isn't the perfect one to watch and she didn't complain once! This was my first time booking on rover, I'm usually the one doing the boarding on here, and she did everything right and then some. Very thankful and WILL book with Kathleen from now on ?

Angelica, was very responsive and professional. Super close in the Norfolk area which was convenient. Ruben got along with the other dogs that she had / in her care and came back happy. She took some really great pictures as updates everyday. The dogs seemed to really enjoy the fenced yard. Would recommend as a great value option for doggy care.

Lilly is truly a caring and compassionate pet sitter who treats animals like members of her own family. Every time Wheeler stays with her, I know he’s in loving hands. Her kids also spend time with the pets, adding to the warm, family-like environment. She frequently sends beautiful photos and keeps me updated on Wheeler’s activities and playtime, which gives me so much peace of mind. Her spacious backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play, and if the weather allows, she even takes them on walks or to the nearby park. She’s incredibly receptive to each pet’s individual needs and always goes the extra mile to help them feel at home. Wheeler absolutely loves staying with Lilly—he gets excited as soon as we pull up to her house, and sometimes doesn’t want to leave because he’s having such a great time! I now try to book monthly stays with her, simply because Wheeler enjoys it so much. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for him. A true Gryffindor, Lilly responds to every challenge with courage and resolve. She would simply never abandon a quest or choose some other life without caring for pets!

This was our first time boarding our dog with a stranger. Kudos to the Rover app to help me choose the perfect sitter for our golden doodle. We had a meet and greet with Stacey and her dogs the week before we were leaving. Stacey made me feel very comfortable with the surroundings and her schedule for the dogs. She sent pictures and videos every day, which really helped me. Lol. We had a change in our schedule on the way home and Stacey was very flexible with our return time. Our pup had a great time playing with the other dogs and he was happy and very tired when he got home! I think he misses his friends. 😃

About: I have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, tortoises, frogs, hamsters, etc. I love all animals dearly and have experience with young pets as well as seniors! I'm currently working full-time so my availability is limited to hours outside of 9-5 on Mondays through Fridays and weekends, although I can provide walks at lunchtime. My availability tends to be quite open on weekends. I live in an apartment complex so I do not have a private fenced in yard, but there are plenty of parks and open spaces near my home in which I can provide plenty of walking and exercise space (on leash!)

About: I've been a cat owner for over 12 years, and caring for my own cat, Meeko, has taught me that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful & social or prefers quiet companionship, I always take the time to earn their trust and care for them at their own pace. In addition to caring for my own cat, I've provided drop-in care for friends' cats over the years. I know how important it is to keep their routine consistent by providing fresh food & water, scooping the litter box, spending quality time with them, and sending thoughtful updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to offer dependable daytime scheduling and prompt communication. My goal is to provide calm, reliable care so your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you're home again.

About: I love dogs of all sizes and ages! My family recently lost our pitbull, Emma, who was 7 years old, so my mom has temporarily kidnapped my Chihuahua so the house doesn't feel so lonely. Now my house feels a little too quiet without her around. I am loving, caring, trustworthy, and responsible! Your pet is free to roam around the house with me, and I'll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, to dog parks, on car rides, to the beach, and anywhere they can have fun and enjoy themselves (with your permission, of course). I like to keep dog parents updated with pictures & texts throughout their pet's stay. I understand that every dog has their own personality and unique needs, and I am committed to giving them the very best care while providing you with peace of mind. I will make sure your pet feels welcomed, loved, and right at home here! I work from home, so I'll be with your doggie for most of the day. The only time they'll be home alone is when I run errands. I care for pets in a safe, loving home with a fenced yard where they can play and get fresh air. They are treated like my own. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I also send regular updates with photos and messages.

About: I've been caring for dogs for several years through both personal and professional experience. I worked at a dog kennel for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. During that time, I handled daily feeding, exercise, cleaning, and administered oral medications, including pill medications, while making sure each dog received the individualized care they needed. In addition to my professional experience, I've raised my own puppy and currently have two dogs, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that pets need to feel comfortable and safe. I've also provided pet sitting for friends and family, treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter routine, I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I work from home during the week, so I'm home most of the day and have the flexibility to provide consistent care, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also care for my own two dogs every day, making sure they get the exercise, enrichment, and love they need. In my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of space to play. We also use baby gates to help separate spaces when needed, making it easier to keep pets comfortable and safely introduce them to new environments. Since we're currently raising a young dog ourselves, our home is already puppy-proofed, we don't leave out items that could be a hazard, and we're mindful about keeping the environment clean and safe for curious pets. I treat every pet like one of my own and make sure they receive lots of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates for their owners.

About: I have one small 3 legged rescue and just adopted another rescue September 2025 who is recovering from being hit by a car. Both are chihuahua s Prior to moving to Virginia I fostered both cats and dogs. I was known as a foster failure since I adopted many of my fosters and at one time I had 8 dogs. I love all animal but have a special place in my heart for dogs. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands and would love to spend some time with your dog when you are not able to. I will treat them as if they were mine9. I have two small dog that does fine with other dogs. My yard is fenced and secure. I believe dogs belong in the house since they are part of the family.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 18 years and have always been passionate about providing them with a safe, loving environment. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement when caring for pets of all ages. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've also provided care for a friend's senior dog while they were away on vacation, giving me experience with the extra patience and attention older dogs often need. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with unique routines. As a scientist, I'm naturally detail-oriented and observant, so I pay close attention to changes in behavior and always follow care instructions carefully. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine! I have a puppy of my own, so my days naturally revolve around walks, feeding, playtime, training, and making sure she's happy and healthy. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve, whether that's sticking to their normal routine, providing plenty of exercise, or simply keeping them company. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any other preferences you have to help your pet feel comfortable while you're away. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a safe, clean environment. I use positive reinforcement and never harsh discipline. My puppy is friendly and well-socialized, and I'll always make sure introductions are done safely if applicable. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I'll make sure your pet receives lots of love and attention, fresh food and water, walks or playtime as needed, a clean litter box or potty area, and plenty of affection. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and guinea pigs and bunnies all my life. I treat every single animal as if they were my own and take pride in the small achievements that I help provide as well as the experience they help bring to my life. I am a lifelong dog lover and I am very focused on meeting your dog's needs, dietary restrictions, keeping them intellectually stimulated, and giving them lots of love and praise. They are free to roam the house and go on the furniture. I love sending lots of pictures and updates because I know how difficult it is to be away from your "baby". If your pet has any special bedding or toys, feel free to bring them along with you so your pet can feel even more at home. I look forward to spoiling and loving your furry family member while you're away. I live only a few miles away from the Norfolk International Airport and am only a few miles away from the entrance to I 64. I am very close to downtown Norfolk and Ghent. I currently work early morning from 6am-12pm. so I’ll have time to play with them and show them love. As well as take them potty as needed. I can easily crate your dog if need be I have a small apartment but lots of areas to move around. I also house bunnies.

MaryAnn did a great job with our German Shepherd, Nash! He's a little shy at first in new situations, but he warmed up quickly, and I could tell that he really enjoyed staying with her. She did a wonderful job making sure that he was comfortable and cared for. He really took a liking to her and turned into a Velcro dog with her! She gave very informative updates and sent photos throughout the day. She's also very careful about introductions and making sure that all the dogs get along. I definitely trust her and will be a repeat client!

About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has been a lifelong part of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs and other animals of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My mom has owned and operated a professional dog grooming and boarding business since 2017, so I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for pets in a boarding environment. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Being a stay-at-home mom to my toddler gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I’m home most of the day, so pets get regular potty breaks, attention, playtime, and plenty of love rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m also able to work pet care naturally into our daily routine. For boarding in my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with regular potty breaks, playtime, attention, and plenty of cuddles. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. For drop-ins or sitting in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pet comfortable in their familiar environment while following their usual routine. I’m happy to provide walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, cleanup, and lots of attention. My goal is always for pets to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their family is away.

About: I have always grown up around animals, I love them all cats, dogs, birds, lizards, you name it! I have been pet sitting and walking since I was 13. Since then I have learned cpr for dogs and cats along with administering medication if necessary. I believe that communication is key! I am currently working on my degree online so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you need anymore information please shoot me a message. Thank you I have two dogs along with 3 cats! Like stated before I think communication is very important and I will keep in touch with you often. My dogs are crate trained and the kittens use cat doors! We have a routine that is followed to make sure everyone stays safe.

About: I’m not just a sitter I’m your pet’s calm, cozy, reliable home‑away‑from‑home. I specialize in creating a soft, stress‑free environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. I communicate clearly, respect your routines, and treat every animal like family. Your pet gets comfort, consistency, and genuine care—not just supervision. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life as a cat mom. Every day includes feeding, fresh water, litter care, enrichment, and calm bonding time — so adding your pet into my routine feels seamless. I’m used to managing structured play sessions, keeping environments clean, and maintaining consistent routines. Weekly, I plan enrichment activities, rotate toys, and make time for extra grooming or deep cleaning. In my client’s home, I follow your pet’s routines exactly to keep their environment familiar, comfortable, and stress‑free. I provide attentive care—feeding, walks or playtime, litter or potty upkeep, and gentle companionship—while keeping your space tidy and your pet feeling completely secure.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will make sure your beloved friend is happy. Not just fed or exercised, but emotionally comforted and cared for. I do this for fun, I love to go to animal shelters and cat cafes on my free time. And I'm sure I'll love to spend time with your best friend too. My experience in taking care of animals comes from my whole life. However, more specifically I have been the primary caretaker of my dog Sparky for years. Walking him, bathing him, feeding him, playing with him, and not as a chore, but because I had so much fun doing so. Other than that, I will list my other experience for anyone who wishes to read more: For the first 9 years of my life, I was in a household with 3 cats. I a pug named Emma for the first 4-ish years of my life, getting pug stuffed animals to name after her for years after. When I was 8 I got Sparky, and he was so awesome, so energetic (he still is) so adorable, so everything. My 3 cats, Kita, Salem, and Maggie, each of their passings were all hard on me, and sparky's never ending hyperness and lovingness was so important in helping me move forward. We later got a 2nd dog named Gus who stops in his tracks whenever my mom or my sister walk him, but for me he's willing to walk more. I'm not sure why but I'm glad since I love to walk, it's so calming, especially with dogs. I'm available full time on the days listed. I am a student and have an internship on the other days but for those days I'm free. If it changes you will see the listed schedule change. I take care of them by not just doing the bare minimum, but going the extra mile. Cleaning up their bowls before giving new food and water. Taking them on long walks but planning the route to align with water fountains to make sure they are hydated and don't overheat. Doing occasional jogs on their runs, playing with them in new and unique ways as much as possible, and so much more.

About: I grew up with two dogs, one very shy and one very happy but scared of other dogs. Both sadly passed due to illnesses; therefore, I have experience in caring for sick pets. I have dog walked in the past with a variety of dog sizes and breeds. I am a resident in counseling which is my primary job. Pet care will fit in around clients, however I control my own schedule giving me free time to help out fellow pet parents. Even if my calendar is blocked out for a particular day, feel free to message me and I'll see what I can do. I have experience with an anxious dog and currently an anxious cat so I am able to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I like to allow the pet to get comfortable with me in their own way and time and only greet them in small bits (i.e., letting them sniff my hand a few times before petting). I am organized to ensure pets have what they need before I leave (whether my own cat or for client's pets).

I was extremely nervous about using rover my Koda is 70Ibs and absolutely insane in the best possible way. Tyler reassured and explained to me how everything was going to work. When tyler came to the door Koda was in protective mode, thankfully tyler didn’t get scared off instead he suggested a new approach to them meeting and once Koda sniffed him he immediately let tyler take the leash! He was amazing and I will definitely be scheduling with him again!

About: 👋Hi everybody! My name is Madison and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a current Masters student at EVMS studying surgical assisting. I am unable to work full time due to the rigor of the program so I love watching pets as a part time job. 🏡 I currently live in an apartment in downtown Norfolk with my boyfriend of 8 years, Grant. Grant helps out with potty breaks and walks if I am ever not home. We are both students and have internships so if your pet needs someone with them at all times, we unfortunately can only provide this on the weekends. 🐶I have experience with senior & adult dogs, cats, administering medications & puppies! I also volunteer at the Norfolk Animal Care Center in my free time to help out the shelter animals and be involved in my local community. We have no pets in our apartment currently. 🐱If chosen to care for your pets I will treat them with the love and respect that I would give my own pet. I love to send photo updates to the owner so that you can be assured that your pet is in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! My class schedule is very flexible so I am able to offer frequent potty breaks and walks as needed! This allows me to follow the routine that your pet is already accustomed to I grew up with dogs in my parents home my whole life. My own dogs are spoiled and loved so much, so I will be sure to treat your animals the same way. My dogs love walks, playing outside, snuggles, and treats. I can promise that your animals will be treated no different than my own. I currently do not have any pets in my apartment

I'm currently working full-time so my availability is limited to hours outside of 9-5 on Mondays through Fridays and weekends, although I can provide walks at lunchtime. My availability tends to be quite open on weekends. I live in an apartment complex so I do not have a private fenced in yard, but there are plenty of parks and open spaces near my home in which I can provide plenty of walking and exercise space (on leash!)

About: I have five years of pet-sitting and house-sitting experience as a form of income, but I have been a pet owner and lover of animals for my entire life! Friends, neighbors, and colleagues have hired me by word of mouth, so pleased with the level of care I provide to their home and/or fur-baby. I currently work full-time, Mon-Fri with late afternoon (starting at 3pm) and full weekend availability. I have two cats that I love and care for with all my heart. While I make coffee, I obey their need for a morning treat and roll up the window blinds so they can watch the birds as the sun rises. Our morning routine. I go to work, come home, and give them all of my attention. I care for my clients’ pets in their preferred way, with whatever is relayed to me. Then I always add a little extra love and care. I make sure to know any allergies, places or animals to avoid on walks, and preferred discipline strategies. When I am house-sitting, I follow the instructions handed to me while being sure to make it seem as though I was never there upon my departure. Clean, cozy, and better than when you left it.

About: I changed the direction my life was going and found the REASON was Animal Care. I began volunteering at 2 local Humane Societies in 2013. Very shortly thereafter became employed at both Societies = working 7 days a week with animals. I adopted my first 2 pets (torti cats named Cali & Ava) in the Fall of 2013. Adopted a 3rd torti cat in the Spring of 2014 (named Hallie B). I adopted a chihuahua in the Fall of 2016 (named Clara my grandmother’s name). With the exception of Hallie B they have all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The 1st in December 2020 then June 2021 and most recently in May of this year :-( 🐾🐾🐾 They were adopted as Seniors. They were the best. After 4 years of Humane Society work I changed direction again in 2017 to a more professional aspect of Animal Care becoming employed at a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant for over 7 years. I have performed a number of cat drop-ins around the Gloucester area for various residents affiliated with the Humane Society. One such assignment lasted for almost two months while the cat’s owners traveled to Florida for the winter. I currently work (outside of Animal Care) OVERNIGHT 40 hours WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 8am to 2pm. Sunday thru Tuesday I am totally available. There is some flexibility with my overnight work and the possibility of a little accommodation for Animal Care. I also have to spare some time for my own cat’s care. Quality. Compassionate. Care. is what I provide pets. I want them to have the creature comforts that make them feel all warm and comfy and content.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. From every size and breed, from Beagle to Pitbull-Mastiff mix. Imagine your anxious dog when you get home from work, super ready for a long walk... well that's me. I am a pediatric psych nurse at CHKD so I get home from work and can't sit and relax on the couch. So dog walking or sitting would help to tucker me and your dog out! If you have a strict schedule for when your pup should be fed or walked, or how much food, etc, I will do exactly what you ask. If you have a certain route or play routine, I will oblige. All in all, I want to make you and your dog happy and become a trusted and loyal person in both of your lives! I also have 3 cats so I would also be able to help with your kitties as well!

MaryAnn did an awesome job watching my dog. She took her in on short notice over the holidays and sent me great pictures every day. She even gave her a small birthday party with extra turkey for dinner! Highly recommend!

The plan was to go on vacation outside the country for 3 weeks. But concern about the health and welfare of my dogs left me on the verge of cancelling. They did not deserve to be dumped at the kennels to be left in a cage and friends and family were not available for 3 weeks. RB and Muffins, my two Shih Tzu, are extremely sociable and need interaction with humans. I was very fortunate to have found Rover.com which led me to Michelle. I would cancelled my vacation if I had not. I know I dropped off two happy dogs to her and picked-up two happy and healthy dogs 3 weeks later. Michelle and her Ben took really good care of my two kids. I know they were treated like family. Almost daily I received photos, and just the fact that I could easily communicate with her via e-mails gave me peace of mind. I will not hesitate to contact her for future stays.

Amber and Dane were great hosts for our pup! He felt very welcomed in their home and had a great time playing with their dogs and kids! We’ll definitely book with them again.

I had to book last minute, like an hour before we had to leave, and she was accommodating and friendly from the start! Her communication was great before and during my pet's stay, and I can tell she loves what she does! My pet isn't the perfect one to watch and she didn't complain once! This was my first time booking on rover, I'm usually the one doing the boarding on here, and she did everything right and then some. Very thankful and WILL book with Kathleen from now on ?

Angelica, was very responsive and professional. Super close in the Norfolk area which was convenient. Ruben got along with the other dogs that she had / in her care and came back happy. She took some really great pictures as updates everyday. The dogs seemed to really enjoy the fenced yard. Would recommend as a great value option for doggy care.

David did so great with my Great Pyrenees, Charlie! He was also very patient with me as this was my first time using the app and I accidentally scheduled the wrong day. Upon meeting Charlie was very comfortable with him and he was excited to go hang with David. Thank you SO much for taking care of our huge furry friend. I highly recommend having David watch your dog!

Beth was fantastic with our Goldendoodle, Remington! He and her dog Chloe became fast friends, and we loved getting daily photo updates. It was clear he was happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend and will definitely book again!

Lilly is truly a caring and compassionate pet sitter who treats animals like members of her own family. Every time Wheeler stays with her, I know he’s in loving hands. Her kids also spend time with the pets, adding to the warm, family-like environment. She frequently sends beautiful photos and keeps me updated on Wheeler’s activities and playtime, which gives me so much peace of mind. Her spacious backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play, and if the weather allows, she even takes them on walks or to the nearby park. She’s incredibly receptive to each pet’s individual needs and always goes the extra mile to help them feel at home. Wheeler absolutely loves staying with Lilly—he gets excited as soon as we pull up to her house, and sometimes doesn’t want to leave because he’s having such a great time! I now try to book monthly stays with her, simply because Wheeler enjoys it so much. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for him. A true Gryffindor, Lilly responds to every challenge with courage and resolve. She would simply never abandon a quest or choose some other life without caring for pets!

This was our first time boarding our dog with a stranger. Kudos to the Rover app to help me choose the perfect sitter for our golden doodle. We had a meet and greet with Stacey and her dogs the week before we were leaving. Stacey made me feel very comfortable with the surroundings and her schedule for the dogs. She sent pictures and videos every day, which really helped me. Lol. We had a change in our schedule on the way home and Stacey was very flexible with our return time. Our pup had a great time playing with the other dogs and he was happy and very tired when he got home! I think he misses his friends. 😃

First time using Rover and I’m glad I was linked up with Sherry. She is very quick to response to questions and concerns. My puppy’s stay was very pleasant and I received daily pictures from her. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommended!!!!!

Autumn was incredible with Jack and Daisy! From the moment we met her, I could tell they were in great hands. She clearly knows her stuff when it comes to dogs, and her experience really shows. Her setup is super clean and safe, and I loved that the kennel is attached to her home — it felt like Jack and Daisy were part of the family the whole time.

Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!

Michelle was very sweet to my pups and extremely accommodating to my ever changing schedule! She took the time to ensure my Border Collie got exercise and that my senior Shitzu got plenty of comfy naps! She was also really great about sending pictures and updates. I’d absolutely recommend her!

I contacted Daisy LATE for the possible care of my Dog as a previous Sitter was not a good fit...we had a Meet/Greet on same day I contacted her which went well!! and she agreed to watch him for the weekend! She sent pictures plus she has an older dog who is chill like mine and they got along fine!! Her and her husband, Walter really cool people who care about and for your pet. very clean house, plenty of fenced in yard for my dog to 'explore'. I highly recommend Daisy, husband Walter and their 'boy' Teddy!!!!
