“We chose Omaira and Isaac to pet sit after a trialing a professional boarding facility where we quickly realized our dogs wouldn't get the love and individual care we want them to have. We absolutely made the right decision, our boys have come home happy, clean and having been totally spoiled! Omaira and Isaac were kind, professional and responsive and we will definitely take Peanut and Chester back to stay with them again.”
“Ms. Crystal, Thank you very much for take care of our fur baby. You have been exceptional with your updates, the pictures, and the care for Liam. We felt that he was safe and loved during his stay. Wonderful. Thanks again for yr support.”
“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.”
“My very first time using Rover. And this was my very first time leaving Zora, ever! Before even dropping her off, Brittany communicated so well with me and assisted me comfortably. Experienced and attentive. I must say, I am very pleased! I could see that Zora had, had a great weekend with you and trusted you. From the pictures, I cannot thank you enough. I will definitely be using your service again. 😊 a new pink twin connection! Thank you Brittany! You are a blessing”
“Catherine is definitely my go to for my buddy! I am confident in her love and care she gives to my boy! I’ve used her multiple times and always will! I’ve tried a few other Rover boarders and none of them have compared to her. She provides him with a stay that is like home! I never have to worry at all when he’s in her care! I totally recommend her if you’re looking for a loving home for your loved one!”
“My pup has stayed with Hillary twice now, and she is the sweetest! She's been so helpful and flexible, and Brownie has had a wonderful time with her family both times.”
“Cristen and her family are wonderful to work with. It’s clear they love animals and treat all the dogs that stay with them as their own. Would definitely recommend them!”
“Great experience! This was our first time being without our 6 month old puppy, and we were nervous of who to trust. Amanda & Scott sent daily pictures and updates of our girl for our 5 day trip, and made us feel comfortable leaving her with them. We will definitely be using them again when we need to go out of town in the future!”
“Deemie was very sweet and responsive! My dog took an instant liking to her and followed her sweet Chewie around. She was very accommodating to my senior dog and his needs. I’d happily recommend her services to anyone!”
“Our Dixie had a wonderful stay with Shania and her family. We were sent pictures and updates during Dixie’s stay. She was well taken care of and we will definitely be planning another stay with Shania.”
“Exceptional service. Stephanie goes over and beyond to help and assist. Your pup would be lucky to have both her, Max and Callie to hangout with. They were a great help as we transitioned with our PCS. We will miss them and Nala will definitely miss them more.”
“This was Pitch's first stay with anyone he did not already know (he is almost 10!) and Tara was FANTASTIC! We are so thankful for how well she cared for him! We have already committed to her watching him again.”
“We’ve had them watch our babies 3 times now and they take wonderful care of them. Super grateful to have someone safe and trustworthy with our pets while we’re out of town.”
“Paul and Terri were exceptional. They were professional in all their communications, sent many picutres, and kept us up-to-date with all the happenings with Nala. I appreciated their flexibility and that they cared for Nala as if she was one of theirs. Thank you, Paul and Terri”
“Lyra and Scott, Took great care of Charlie while my husband and I were in Europe. Our Charlie had such a great time with the family, i was not sure if he wanted to come back home!:) . Everyday i received a picture of Charlie on his daily activities. Right before leaving, Lyra and Scott told me to enjoy my vacation and not to worry which was very comforting. When I picked Charlie up he was happy and very playful. I highly recommend Lyra and Scott. I am already making plans to have Charlie stay with Lyra and Scott again. Lyra and Scott Thank You!!”
“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!”
“Shanae did amazing with Yuki. This was my first time trying Rover and she made it an easy experience. Yuki absolutely loved his stay and will be back (he even left his bed at her house). Yuki loved running around her huge fenced in backyard with her dog and now his friend, Ash. She treated Yuki as if he were her own and for that I couldn't recommend her more!”
“Monica was great with my baby boy! She has a beautiful home and took very good care of him for a week! She was flexible with me and sent regular updates. Elliot loved playing with her two dogs!”
“Another FANTASTIC experience with Jeff and Barbara. Really enjoyed the pictures they sent me from Copper because I miss him so much while we are gone. They are very accommodating on start and pick up times and Copper loves getting to play with Ruby and Phineas, this visit he even made a new friend Bella. So glad we found Jeff! Happy repeat customers!”

“If I could give Renee 10 stars I would. She is amazing - kind, responsive, thoughtful, genuinely cares and showed a lot of heart while taking care of our very elderly cat when we were out of town. She kept us posted, gave us updates, sent us pictures, and was simply a delight. When we returned from our trip Renee had taken care of everything, made sure everything was tidy, and my cat was relaxed and happy and clearly well loved. Knowing our beloved pet (and family member) was in such good hands allowed me to actually relax!!!, which is priceless. I recommend Renee with lots of enthusiasm and zero reservations. She's a lifesaver!”
“Rhianna took great care of our very shy, skittish cat. He usually hides when new people enter the apartment. She was able to find him each day and even sent me pictures! I’m happy with the care she gave our cat, Toast!”
“Sarah is exactly who you want to take care of your fur babies when you are away! I felt so at ease that my cat Pickles had the BEST care when I was away for work. Sarah leaves detailed notes about her visit and sends lot of photos which was something I looked forward to every day after her visit! The minute Pickles met Sarah he had an automatic connection with her—I was afraid he would be disappointed it was ME when I got home!!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals cats, dogs, fish, and even plants! I love to help my friends, family, and more with walking their dog, feeding their cat, or watering plants! I work only a few days a week because I’m a stay at home mother so I would give your pup all my love. I’m available during the week from 11am - 8pm. I take my dogs on walks as well as play fetch at least once a day! I feed them twice a day and let them out every 2-3 hours. If i dog/cat sit for someone I go to their house 2 times a day to feed, walk, or whatever else I’m instructed to do.
“Mary was so awesome with Kippy! She understands how shy cats canned when being dropped at someone else’s home and really helped with making Kippy comfortable! She was so flexible with my schedule to pick up and drop off which made the day easier for Kippy and I.”
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 loved animals all my life. I currently have the pleasure of caring for 3 dogs, a bird and an outdoor cat in my home. 1 of my dogs is senior and requires medication daily. I love birds and would board your bird in a heartbeat! I think pets just make life better. Until you need to find pet care and it’s super expensive! I offer low cost pet care in my home on the weekends so that you can go on a weekend trip. One day when I retire I hope to open that up to everyday of the week, but for now I work full time. My house has a large fenced backyard where dogs can roam and play. I also have a husky/border collie and a corgi mix who would love to be a companion to your dog for the weekend. They love when friends come to play. I currently care for my moms dog every time she goes on vacation and thought, hey, why don’t I start up this little pet sitting business on the side since I enjoy having furry buddies around. Everytime Brownie comes she gets treated like a queen with lots of attention and love. Don’t you want that for your dog, instead of a cold crate at the vet? Just hire me and your dog will feel like it’s on vacation too. I work full-time so a weekend situation would be best if you want your pet to have attention all day. Otherwise, I get home at 3 everyday and would be open to boarding during the week if you were okay with that. My dogs get let out around 10 am by my husband and just lounge and sleep all day until 3 pm when I get home. It works for us :) I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs that can keep your dogs company. My other dog is senior and is separated from the bunch due to her being blind and deaf. She’s still loved like family, just in her own doggy play pen for safety. If you need senior dog care, I’m your sitter, as I have plenty of experience with my own shitzhu, Beauty. I always make sure there’s fresh water, and give snacks during the day. I dental bone a day and two meals. Whatever your dog’s food preferences are, I can do. I am used to giving medication daily as well.

About: I am a lover of all animals. I currently have 4 goats, 10 pot bellied pigs, 5 cats. and 3 dogs and almost all of my pets are rescues. Your babies will get great care and attention when I visit or stay over. I will respect and abide by any rules you personally have regarding that. I work my full time job from home so your pet will get 24-hour care as well as lots of love and attention if over night stays are needed. I love going on walks with pets, and guarantee I can tire them out, even the most energetic of them by playing ball or any other thing they like. Plenty of time for play and walks. I can administer oral or injectable meds if needed. I know I am the perfect person to love and care for your pet while you are away. You can have the peace of mind knowing they are loved and cared for as if they were part of our family. I have spent my entire life around animals! My mother raised and bred Dobermans for many years and we took in rescue dogs as fosters. I also grew up around horses and other farm animals. I am comfortable with any breed so long as they are pet and people friendly. Since I personally have owned and currently own animals, I really understand the value of making them part of the family, not just a "pet" I look forward to hearing from you! I work full ti.e from home. Whereever there is wifi i can work which gives me lots of flexibility. I am able schedule around my calls easily.

“Lynn is very nice and kept me updated. Every so often she sent me pictures of Annie and their outings. Very communicative. I love that. We will definitely use Lynn again and will recommend her to friends. All in all it was a great day for Annie.”
“Victor and Abigail were awesome and took extra steps to make sure our anxious pup had a great time. They sent us videos and pictures every day, which we really appreciated. After his first day in daycare, my dog was very excited to return on the following days. He seemed to really like the folks who took care of him and was nice and tired once I picked him up. Staying with these folks was definitely a mini vacation for my dog!”
“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!”
“Misha starts whining excitedly when we turn down the street towards Michelle's. He gets to go play with friends and obviously loves it there. As an owner, it's great to have the flexibility of drop off and pickup times!”
“Cheyanne was very kind and considerate. She took the time to answer questions I had and she did a wonderful job with our baby. I would absolutely recommend her and we will contact her if we're in the area again.”
“Ellie G. is a great communicator with photo updates. The daycare day went well and Annie O was introduced to Ellie’s chickens and I’m sure she wanted to get a little closer but Ellie was great keeping Annie away from them. Annie also met Ellie’s dog and it appears that they both made a new friend. The day was a success.”
“Sarah did a fabulous job with Reno. He had fun, and she clearly loves having animals around so he felt welcome. She made me feel completely at ease leaving my precious pup for the day!”

“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!”
“Shawna took excellent care of Daisy, my black lab! She sent lots of pictures and videos with updates on how Daisy was doing throughout the day. Shawna obviously has a lot of experience with animals as she was very professional and accommodating during the whole process. I highly recommend her services and I hope for Daisy to stay with her again soon!”

“Sometimes you just know your dog had a good time! Maisey came back smiling. Jared was easy to work with and had great communication. He sent pictures of Maisey having fun and drop off and pick up were simple and smooth. Will definitely try to book Jared in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Andrea, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, starting when I was 11 years old. My experience started with my aunt’s two Shih Tzus, whom I helped care for from puppyhood until they passed away from old age. Since then, dogs have always been a big part of my life. I currently have three dogs back in my home country and a mini Labradoodle named Ember here in the US. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including giving oral medications and supporting daily routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, and basic training. I enjoy teaching simple commands because it helps build trust and confidence between dogs and their environment. I treat every dog with patients, care, and respect as part of my own family. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to be present and attentive to pets throughout the day. I am able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, and supervised playtime based on each dog’s needs. I am generally home for most of the day, and my schedule allows me to check on pets frequently and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide care in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly apartment designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. I only accept one client or one family at a time to ensure a low-stress environment and close supervision. All pets are introduced slowly and carefully, and interactions with my dog Ember are always supervised. If needed, pets can be separated to ensure they feel comfortable and secure at all times. Because my home has carpeted flooring, I only accept dogs that are reliably house-trained. This helps maintain a clean and comfortable space for all pets in my care. The environment in structured to allow dogs to rest, relax, and adjust comfortably while still having a safe and supervised space throughout their stay.

“Mary was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Yesterday she took care of our dogs all day during our wedding. She checked in on them three times and even delivered our dogs to our wedding venue so our brother could walk our dogs down the aisle during the ceremony. She hung out for the wedding, and then delivered them back to our hotel. She was so pleasant, followed every recommendation and request we made, and our dogs were so well cared for! She even went above and beyond walking the dogs for a long time before and after the wedding! If we lived locally in Newport News we would DEFINITELY us her again. I highly recommend her and her services!”

About: Most of my experience was mostly personal with the numerous animals I had when I was growing up. But I also have experience with other friends or families' animals. During that, I have taken care of the dietary needs of pit bulls to Dachsund. I am currently a student meaning I can have more time taking care of your animals as I only will have homework and no job I have gates all around my house to avoid certain rooms to ensure no animals gets in anything. I will also ensure safety on walks
About: I’ve worked in pet care professionally for 9 years, 4 of those years being spent in veterinary medicine. I approach pet care in ways that makes the pets most comfortable and value building relationships with the pets as much as I do my clients. I have an academic background in public health and am currently pursuing higher education with the end goal of earning a DVM. I am currently working full time at an animal hospital in Newport News, making my schedule more limited than it used to be for my pet sitting clients. My schedule is more workable for households located in Deltaville, Topping, Gloucester, Glouster Point, Hayes and Yorktown. Morning and evening visits are possible all days of the week, mid day / afternoon visits are currently limited to weekends. Please reach out to ask about scheduling possibilities! Early AM (before 7:30AM) and evening (after 6pm) visits available all week. Afternoon / mid day visits are dependent on location and day, but open every weekend. I do not let dogs off-leash in non-fenced in areas or in spaces with dogs unfamiliar to yours. I require all dogs and cats to be updated on their rabies vaccines. I will not take an unaltered dog outside of his or her home, this is for the safety and wellbeing of your dog. If your dog struggles with behavioral issues and has a history of aggression, please include this in your message so I can help you decide the best options for your pet when it comes to meeting a new pet sitter. If your dog struggles with severe anxiety (this is very common!) please include some of the best anxiety-reducing practices for your dog (ex. favorite blanket, hiding spots, calming treats / jackets) in their care instructions so that they can have the best time possible without their favorite human.

“We chose Omaira and Isaac to pet sit after a trialing a professional boarding facility where we quickly realized our dogs wouldn't get the love and individual care we want them to have. We absolutely made the right decision, our boys have come home happy, clean and having been totally spoiled! Omaira and Isaac were kind, professional and responsive and we will definitely take Peanut and Chester back to stay with them again.”
“Ms. Crystal, Thank you very much for take care of our fur baby. You have been exceptional with your updates, the pictures, and the care for Liam. We felt that he was safe and loved during his stay. Wonderful. Thanks again for yr support.”
“My very first time using Rover. And this was my very first time leaving Zora, ever! Before even dropping her off, Brittany communicated so well with me and assisted me comfortably. Experienced and attentive. I must say, I am very pleased! I could see that Zora had, had a great weekend with you and trusted you. From the pictures, I cannot thank you enough. I will definitely be using your service again. 😊 a new pink twin connection! Thank you Brittany! You are a blessing”
“Catherine is definitely my go to for my buddy! I am confident in her love and care she gives to my boy! I’ve used her multiple times and always will! I’ve tried a few other Rover boarders and none of them have compared to her. She provides him with a stay that is like home! I never have to worry at all when he’s in her care! I totally recommend her if you’re looking for a loving home for your loved one!”
“My pup has stayed with Hillary twice now, and she is the sweetest! She's been so helpful and flexible, and Brownie has had a wonderful time with her family both times.”
“Cristen and her family are wonderful to work with. It’s clear they love animals and treat all the dogs that stay with them as their own. Would definitely recommend them!”
“Great experience! This was our first time being without our 6 month old puppy, and we were nervous of who to trust. Amanda & Scott sent daily pictures and updates of our girl for our 5 day trip, and made us feel comfortable leaving her with them. We will definitely be using them again when we need to go out of town in the future!”
“Deemie was very sweet and responsive! My dog took an instant liking to her and followed her sweet Chewie around. She was very accommodating to my senior dog and his needs. I’d happily recommend her services to anyone!”
“Our Dixie had a wonderful stay with Shania and her family. We were sent pictures and updates during Dixie’s stay. She was well taken care of and we will definitely be planning another stay with Shania.”
“Exceptional service. Stephanie goes over and beyond to help and assist. Your pup would be lucky to have both her, Max and Callie to hangout with. They were a great help as we transitioned with our PCS. We will miss them and Nala will definitely miss them more.”
“This was Pitch's first stay with anyone he did not already know (he is almost 10!) and Tara was FANTASTIC! We are so thankful for how well she cared for him! We have already committed to her watching him again.”
“We’ve had them watch our babies 3 times now and they take wonderful care of them. Super grateful to have someone safe and trustworthy with our pets while we’re out of town.”
“Lyra and Scott, Took great care of Charlie while my husband and I were in Europe. Our Charlie had such a great time with the family, i was not sure if he wanted to come back home!:) . Everyday i received a picture of Charlie on his daily activities. Right before leaving, Lyra and Scott told me to enjoy my vacation and not to worry which was very comforting. When I picked Charlie up he was happy and very playful. I highly recommend Lyra and Scott. I am already making plans to have Charlie stay with Lyra and Scott again. Lyra and Scott Thank You!!”
“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!”
“Shanae did amazing with Yuki. This was my first time trying Rover and she made it an easy experience. Yuki absolutely loved his stay and will be back (he even left his bed at her house). Yuki loved running around her huge fenced in backyard with her dog and now his friend, Ash. She treated Yuki as if he were her own and for that I couldn't recommend her more!”
“Another FANTASTIC experience with Jeff and Barbara. Really enjoyed the pictures they sent me from Copper because I miss him so much while we are gone. They are very accommodating on start and pick up times and Copper loves getting to play with Ruby and Phineas, this visit he even made a new friend Bella. So glad we found Jeff! Happy repeat customers!”
“This was Kai's second stay with Teona and Lou. I was very impressed with the love and care my pup received. They opened the door and their hearts to my baby. Teona is very professional and thoughtful. She sent us pictures, videos, and messages every day. It is a pleasure to hear that your puppy is well and happy. Kai played in their yard every day and Teona also took her for a walk. She took care to feed her properly and gave her massages. Kai had a spa treatment for two weeks. I am very impressed with their professional and care. I already booked another stay with them.”
“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!”
