“Jessica is amazing!!!!! I have used her on multiple occasions and each time she has been a lifesaver especially when it’s last minute. She goes above and beyond with caring for my boys, she even made a birthday cake to celebrate for my Milo while I was out of town. My boys love her and her family.”
“Cristen and family were amazing! Wish we had found them before. They took very good care of Asher while we were at our daughter’s graduation. We didn’t have to worry about Asher at all. Wonderful family!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Very satisfied with Sunny's stay with Jeff. I was reluctant to leave my precious girl with anyone other than family but Jeff sent pictures and assured me that Sunny was doing OK. I intend to leave Sunny with the Syvias during my future travels.”
“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.”
“She was very responsive and communicative. Very welcoming and even taught me a few things about my dogs I didn’t even know. We will definitely use her again in the future”
“Thanks again for paying such close attention to my babies' needs. It's hard for me to leave them but I know they're in good hands with you. See you next month, and the month after!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! Our dogs came back smelling amazing — it's clear they were well cared for and given plenty of attention. We'll definitely be booking again!”
“Hilary and her family took great care of my dog Peanut! I appreciated her updates and flexibility through the stay. Our pup had anxiety and she took great care to make her comfortable. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“First time border here. Brandy and family were GREAT. Brandy definitely put me at ease during the meet and greet. Jax enjoyed his time. She sent lots of pics and videos. There was even a daily report card. I will be using Brandy again.”
“I have boarded Cookies more than a dozen times over the past 12 years and Julie will be my go to dog boarder! She asked great questions before drop off and communicated the schedule at pick up so we could stay on schedule at home. She sent me several pictures while I was away so that I could see my fur baby. She let me know how she was adjusting to her environment from the moment she arrived. She shared that my senior dog wasn’t ready to get up when the rest of the family was ready, so they let her sleep in❤️. When my fur baby was leaving, she looked back at the door to see if Julie was coming with us. I look forward to my next trip because I know I can relax and not worry about my dogs’ care.”
“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!”
“Lora was very sweet and took very good care of our Rottweiler. We were very hesitant because of a previous experience with another sitter but she was reassuring and sent frequent updates. She is very experienced and has a great routine that ensured our dog got all his energy out. Highly recommend!”
“Melanie is amazing! Not only does she provide photos throughout the day, but she is genuinely interested in your pet’s health and happiness. She made a great recommendation to help get our pup back to eating, after struggling for months to eat regularly. I highly recommend!”

“My dog is super particular and anxious around most, but he was so calm and at ease with Sarah. I am so thankful for her. My dog usually also gets sick when I leave town, but he was doing fantastic and so healthy when I returned. Sarah is so good with dogs, and she was so professional and took this very seriously. I hope to get her help again! She’s the best.”

“Brandy is an excellent dog sitter!!! I’m so grateful to have found her. She was quick to respond and immediately made me feel at ease. Milo went to her home for daycare and he did not want to leave! She played with him, took walks with him, and even did some obedience training. Milo came home tired and happy. She also sent photos and videos which always puts me at ease. I would highly recommend!”
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.
“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!”
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.
“Michele was fantastic and my dog was so happy with her. She responded quickly and sent lots of wonderful updates of my happy dog. Will definitely be seeing her again for all my dog needs!”
“Kim never disappoints. My dog came back so tired and went straight to bed. I was super busy working from home today and wanted him to have some playmates. Kim and her other dogs def tired him out. We will both sleep good tonight 😊”
About: I've helped to take care of dogs since since I was a child. My husband and I have a nice backyard perfect for dogs to run around in. I volunteer part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets during the day. We are available for boarding or dropping by to let you dog out during the week or on most weekends. We have an invisible fence around our yard and also have a lab/hound mix named Finley who is very friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs. We can crate your dog if needed, provided you supply the crate.
“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!! :)”
“Cheyanne kept my Scooby for the holidays and not once ever made me feel like he wasn’t in good hands. She cared for our boy and kept us up to date on everything. So grateful for her services and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“This family takes great care of our pup. When I pulled into the drive and Rosy recognized where we were, she was super excited! They love her and Rosy loves them right back!”

“Jordyn did well with all the instructions given for walking my dog, Lucas. She came right on time and walked him through my community. I would recommend Jordyn and would use her services again.”
“Bethany was truly a God send when I needed help with daily pup walks for my two large fur babies. I have a mal mix and a GSD and she was always able to work around my crazy on-call work schedule. I don’t have enough good things to say about her! If you want the best care for your pup, you have to call her!”
“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've taken care of dogs since I was 11 and I've had a cat for almost ten years now. I love spending time with all breeds! I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with, take care of, and love on your fur babies. I'll take care of your animals whichever way you see fit. I have a fenced in back yard and will crate them if you see fit.
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life, but I love animals of every kind. As a biology student who can't have any pets of my own at school, I'll treat your pets like my family! I am taking organic chemistry over the summer, so my schedule will be very flexible. I am an early riser, so morning walks are not an issue for me. I am happy to make multiple visits to your pet each day! For dogs, I walk and feed them regularly and make sure they get as much exercise and socialization as they need. For cats, I feed them regularly, clean litter boxes, and give them space unless they want to be my friend. I will not touch any personal belongings unless I have permission to do so, and I will ensure the security of your home by locking doors and keeping all client information confidential. I am very reliable and I will care for your pet like they are my own!
About: I am a vet assistant currently going to school for vet tech. I have puppy/kitten and senior pet knowledge. I love pets of all sizes and have a willingness to work with all temperaments. I’m currently working full time from 8am until 6pm when I can give your fur babies walks and play time! I am usually available between 12pm-1pm to stop by and check in with your pet. I will always give pet parents constant updates along with going over any house rules expected of me. I ensure safety of all pets inside the home.
“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: I’ve grown up with dogs indoors and outdoors for my entire childhood. I am a full time public music teacher and part time church music director looking to spend some time with sweet pups! I am open for house sitting, dog drop in visits and walks within 15 miles of Hampton, VA. I have my own dog, Allie, who we feed morning and night. We also walk her daily. Allie loved to get her zoomies out in the backyard. She also gets lots of pets and a peanut butter cone after doing some tricks. June and July, I am open to scheduling during the day (8:00 am-5:00 pm) on weekdays and weekends dependent upon scheduling. Additional hours after 5:00pm available upon request. August-May: I am available for walks from 4:30pm-7:00pm, dependent upon scheduling. Allie goes on regular walks for 30 minutes (longer or shorter). We feed her morning and night and she loves to get out zoomies in our backyard. Allie sits and waits before each feeding and she does shake, lay down and stay before her treat. I am also attaching a written reference below: To fur baby owners: Caroline Miller is one of the best dog/house sitters I’ve ever had. She is very responsible and dependable. Most important though is how she loves on my dogs while I’m away and spends time with them. I also loved the condition of how my house looked when I came home, just as clean as it was when I left! It saddened me when Caroline moved away from home because I haven’t had a dog sitter as good as her in years. She will not disappoint! -Melissa F
About: I have been a farm technician for around 2 years but have worked as a vet hand and in pet boarding. Ive had many cats and dogs throughout my life, so I know that there not just pets.

I'll not only make sure your pet is taken care of but your home as well. Your cat/dogs messes are apart of the job, so you won't have to worry about coming home to spills or axadents
“Miesha has been walking my yorkie, Penny for almost a year now. She has done a wonderful job and is so kind with her. Even on days when she doesn’t want to walk she plays with her. Miesha is always flexible and makes sure Penny gets the exercise, love, and attention she needs. Would highly recommend her to take care of your pup!”
“Keyana is a excellent pet sitter. My dog did wonderful with her & was well taken care of. I highly recommend too hire Keyana. Nibbles was in great care & felt loved.”
About: I’ve been in the healthcare field for over 5 years. My specialty is taking care of those who can’t take care of themselves. I’ve been a boarder and sitter with Wag for over three years and have had my own pups in the past before I enlisted active duty. Being able to care for pups gives me so much joy as a single woman with no children. I love to go on walks, dog parks and will make sure your pup gets all the care and attention he or she needs including giving meds if needed, bathing, and even mail clipping upon request. I currently work full time in the navy so I do most of my boarding on weekends but I do have a roommate that works an opposite shift and helps walk, play with, and take the pups to go potty when I’m at work throughout the day. I wake up early to let the pups out, and walk them either to the park or around the complex after work, set play dates (if the pup likes other doggies) and walk them and take them out before I go to bed as well. I have a very large open living room and solarium that allows the pups to have their own space to play and run around when it’s raining outside and the park is not optional for play time. I also have a large kitchen area with enough space for pet bowls and beds and I do allow the pups to sleep in the bed if they prefer. I do not have any safety concerns as my home is pup-proof. I take frequent potty breaks and am a light sleeper. Most pups I have boarded know how to let me know when they need to go outside, and for those who don’t, I go on a set schedule right after feedings and every few hours (2-4) depending on the pups age. More frequently if they are still potty training. I do take the dogs to the dog park for play time, exercise and activities.
“We are so thankful we found Marisol! She was able to help us immensely with our hound who is high energy and can be a bit of a handful on the leash. She expertly handles him and ensures they have an enjoyable, safe, and energy burning walk! She is kind, communicative, and was able to work with our schedule. Highly recommend! Thank you Marisol!”

“Brittany was able to answer many questions and provide a meet and greet prior to watching Bean. I had already met with 5 other sitters who weren't the right fit. Brittany came prepared to also ask me questions to Better understand how to best care for Bean. Lima Bean had a great stay even with thunderstorms present which causes her the most anxiety. She was spoiled and even came home with a cute Bandana. Brittany understood how important it was for me to receive multiple updates a day that encompassed pictures. This eased my mind that she was doing well. I would definitely recommend Brittany due to her pet knowledge and friendly personality.”
“Amazing definitely the best experience I’ve had with using rover. The updates and photos I received were amazing. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby. Definitely will rebook, you guys came through in a pinch… Thank you so much 😊”
About: I have had dogs my entire life! I love them like they are my own kids. After we lost our sweet boy last year, our spunky girl needs a friend to play with! I currently work full-time but I’m only 6 mins away from the office. My wife has several work from home days a week and can offer her time as well. We do crate our 2.5 year old boxer when we leave the home, for her safety. She does sleep with us every night! I have a huge fully fenced in backyard and a super dog friendly 2.5 year old female boxer to keep your baby company. She loves to play with new friends and is not food or toy aggressive.
“Ms. Crystal was so kind, loving and patient with our tiny 3 month old Teddy! Puppies require a lot of love and attention as they are like sponges soaking everything in at a fast pace. They are also a lot more work than a trained adult dog. Ms. Crystal treated Teddy like her very own “grand dog”. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend to give us a glimpse of their day and to reassure us he was doing very well. I’m a meticulous person and she followed all of teddy’s care instructions. She even provided us with tips as new puppy parents. He was calm and relaxed when we picked him up and Ms Crystal even gave him a new toy that he loves! We are so happy we found her! We look forward to booking her first years to come!”
