“Great communication! Sent us updates on Bella. She was spoiled during her stay forsure. Big fenced backyard & was very knowledgeable to handle her super energy around their senior Doggy, lucy. Will comeback next time we need a boarding care”
“Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover with hands-on experience working at a professional boarding facility for a year, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That experience taught me how to handle everything from high-energy pups to more anxious or shy dogs, always with patience and care. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m available any time, any day, and offer a wide range of services including walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m very reliable and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to help! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I’m available full-time and have a very flexible schedule. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Since I’m available any time, I can accommodate early mornings, late evenings, and last-minute bookings. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they’re always a priority in my schedule. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s routine exactly as instructed. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication if needed. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision at all times. With my experience working at a boarding facility, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and ensuring every pet feels safe and well cared for.
“Such a great sitter! She made me so comfortable leaving my babies with her and she checked in with me everyday with texts and photos. My dogs felt right at home and were treated like family. Highly recommend Gail for anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Caring sitters. Julie provided me with daily updates and pictures of my babies. This is the longest stretch that I had left them and the daily updates made me feel better. I will definitely use their services again! Thank you, Julie and Kenneth, Ethan and of course Louis, their fur baby.”
“Lisa and her daughter were great as always! This was my dog's second time staying with them, and I was super happy to see how excited he was to see them when I dropped him off. I highly recommend!”

“Beau had another great stay with Camryn and Skipper! He enjoyed all the cuddles, love and attention she gave him and playing with Skipper. I highly recommend her!”
About: Grew up on a farm in North Carolina. Growing up we had multiple horses, dogs, cats and also birds. Animals have always been a big part of my life and will continue to be. I am punctual and follow directions well, and willing to cater to special requests for your pets. I work 5 days a week, work starting at 07:00 and getting off around 15:00. I could fit care in prior to and after work. I like to keep a high level of situational awareness when dealing with clients and their animals, always communicating with the owner and sending pictures.
“We received several photos and messages and they were able to accommodate an additional day when our flight was delayed. We appreciate the care Aria received. Hope they are available for our next trip in September.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. Overseas during covid that was my main job and I had over 25 clients. I can help with medications given, dog walks, dog check in or do in home boarding. I do live a short walk from a park, so can also do playtime and walks at the park as well! I am available for drop ins visits, long or short walks or boarding in my home. If you are Active Duty, going TDY, etc. Or just a fur parent with no help, please let me know ahead of time so I can help you the best I can! I have a fenced in back yard with a lot of space. I have 3 senior dogs that love other dogs, but I also have plenty of space to keep dogs separated if needed. I also live walking distance from my local park. Smoke free home.
“Kim was so supportive. This was our first time with Rover and not with a Boarding facility. She was communicative and friendly. She put an anxious mama at ease. We will absolutely reach out to her when we need help again.”
“They were extremely sweet with my baby girl. Very understanding and I loved that they sent pics/videos. The communication was awesome (that can be my biggest pet peeve). No complaints!”
“Kathleen is truly a gem! I cannot recommend Kathleen enough as a dog-sitter. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in her care. She’s reliable, caring, and genuinely loves animals—which shows in every interaction. Kathleen took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, quirks, and routines, and kept me updated with adorable photos and messages while I was away.”
“Thank you for taking care of Gigi! Will definitely book again. Even included a goodie bag 😸. Im sure she enjoyed her stay and the communication was top tier with lots of photos of her time there. I appreciate all the updates and making sure she had a comfortable stay. Thank you again!!!”
“I had a last-minute need to board my dog, and Rover came through in the best way possible. Amber and Dane were incredibly quick to respond, which was such a relief. From the start, I could tell they genuinely cared for my dog, Comet. They treated him like part of the family, and he clearly had a blast with their crew. They also sent lots of great photos during his stay, which helped put my mind at ease and showed just how much fun he was having. It’s clear that they go above and beyond to make both pets and pet parents feel comfortable. I absolutely plan to book with them again in the future!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and I love all animals! I have experience with health issues and giving dogs medication. My family has trained and raised puppies, and rescued several senior and abused dogs. I also have experience with cats, rodents, and reptiles. I treat every animal I encounter with love, kindness, and patience. I love walking and playing with them, and becoming a friend. I am a recent engineering grad from Penn State, and new to the area. I can give quality love and attention to any animal that is in my care. I have not started my full time position so I am available for care 24/7. I currently live in an apartment with 1 cat. My complex has several dog-friendly areas and a park within walking distance. I will be very attentive and follow any directions left for your pet when they are in my care. Whether it is at my place or yours, I will do my best to treat your dog like family and to make sure they are as happy and comfortable as possible while you are away. If you create your pet, I just ask that you bring their crate as well as any blankets, toys, or treats that might help them feel more comfortable.
About: Ever since I was young animals have played a huge role in my life. From my first dog to the mini zoo I have today. I am familiar with many breeds of dogs and cats as well as reptiles and recognize each one has its own characteristics and personality. Whether it's a walk, play time, or just someone to keep your pet company, I will appreciate and enjoy my time with them. I am a stay at home father of two. I am available most days. I have been working with pets for the past 4 years M-F with the occasional weekend visits. I love what I do and I take pride in my ability to befriend all pets. I believe each and every person has a responsibility, when they take on a pet, to give it the best life with a loving owner. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 lizards, 2 turtles, and 4 fish who all get attention suited to their needs and desires while also being attentive to proper and healthy care.
“Jason was great with our one year old puppy, Odin! We met with Jason and his dogs beforehand and we could already tell that Jason was going to be attentive and good with Odin. His dogs were all great, too! Odin played the day away and we got updates and adorable pics, which were very much appreciated. We will definitely be sending him back! Highly recommend!”
“She was very pleasant with the owners and patient with our two dogs. This was the fist time we used this type of service and it appears to have went well. Would recommend her and we intend to use her again. 5stars!”
About: Hi! I've been operating on Rover for about 5 years now! I've had dogs for as long as I can remember and love being around them. I have experience with all sizes of dogs from Papillons to German Shepards. I am accepting of all breeds, sizes and ages. I've had several dogs with allergies and other health issues, so I am experienced in giving medications, applying any topicals, and noticing any developing symptoms. I also have lots of experience with cats and even have one of my own with medical issues, so I would love to do drop ins for your feline friends! I am currently a student at Eastern Virginia Medical School and am in my last year so my schedule can be somewhat variable. However for the next few months I will be available for mid-day walks/cat visits! I have a 7 year old Pit Bull Terrier that absolutely loves all other animals and can adjust his play style according to other dogs sizes. I also have a small fenced in outdoor patio where your dogs can relax outside with some sun in between walks. I live alone so there won't be too much stimulation from others, and there's plenty of space for your pup to take some time to their selves if needed.
“Holly was wonderful with our Murray. Very caring professional and would recommend her to anyone. When we visit the area again we will absolutely contact her to watch Murray! You will not be disappointed with Holly and her care of your fur baby!”
About: Hi, I'm Shayree. Need someone to look after your pet for the day? Don't prefer the loud and stressful environment of a commercial daycare and boarding facility? I’ve got you covered! Whether they love to play, nap, or just hang out, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re out. My goal is to give them a stress-free, happy day with plenty of attention, playtime, and love—just like they’d get at home. Drop them off, go about your day, and rest easy knowing they’re in good hands. Let’s make sure your pet has a great day too! Message me if you have any questions or want to set up a visit! My routine of pet care includes walks for exercise, a routine feeding schedule along with playtime and cuddles. I also take time to give the dogs a little extra care by brushing them if they like to be brushed and of course they get to socialize with my Poodle Joey. Caring for pets in my home consists of creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. This includes starting with an initial consultation where we will meet and greet to ensure that my home is a good fit for your pet and to address any specific needs or concerns that you may have. During the meeting I'll gather information about your pets routine, dietary preferences, medical history and behavioral habits.
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.
“Cassandra did a amazing job with my one year old Husky for Doggy Day Care , she will keep you updated with everything by sending you pictures of your dog having fun , and no doubt she did a amazing job.!”

I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. My home has a fenced yard for safe, supervised playtime and plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I always take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable, and I can separate dogs if needed so they have their own space.

About: I am 27 years old and a recent graduate at Johnson and Wales University. I have been taking care of my dog India for the past 6 years I even trained her on my own. I even took her to college with me for 4 years. I also took care of a Scottish terrier when we had her when I was in high school. I currently help take care of and train my grandparents schnauzers. I have taken my dog on many walks and bath her weekly. I have experience taking care of a cat as well as horses! I am adept at dealing with dogs with separation anxiety, PTSD, and big personalities. I currently work full time and my schedule varies based on the week and holidays. I typically have off Tuesday, Sundays so I will be available all day those days. I am also usually off by 3 at work. I have a fenced in backyard but due to my dog India being so small we typically keep her on a leash when taking her outside. For my 2 lab puppies they just wander the backyard. I do request a meet and greet for most bookings for safety reasons for new clients. At your home I will ensure all instructions are followed based on the needs of your pets!

“Great communication! Sent us updates on Bella. She was spoiled during her stay forsure. Big fenced backyard & was very knowledgeable to handle her super energy around their senior Doggy, lucy. Will comeback next time we need a boarding care”
“Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover with hands-on experience working at a professional boarding facility for a year, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That experience taught me how to handle everything from high-energy pups to more anxious or shy dogs, always with patience and care. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m available any time, any day, and offer a wide range of services including walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m very reliable and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to help! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I’m available full-time and have a very flexible schedule. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Since I’m available any time, I can accommodate early mornings, late evenings, and last-minute bookings. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they’re always a priority in my schedule. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s routine exactly as instructed. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication if needed. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision at all times. With my experience working at a boarding facility, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and ensuring every pet feels safe and well cared for.
“Lisa and her daughter were great as always! This was my dog's second time staying with them, and I was super happy to see how excited he was to see them when I dropped him off. I highly recommend!”
“Brittany, I would like to thank you for taking care of my fur baby, Russell. I also thank you for the photos! We hope to utilize your services in the future. Again, thank you so much!”
“Beau had another great stay with Camryn and Skipper! He enjoyed all the cuddles, love and attention she gave him and playing with Skipper. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. Overseas during covid that was my main job and I had over 25 clients. I can help with medications given, dog walks, dog check in or do in home boarding. I do live a short walk from a park, so can also do playtime and walks at the park as well! I am available for drop ins visits, long or short walks or boarding in my home. If you are Active Duty, going TDY, etc. Or just a fur parent with no help, please let me know ahead of time so I can help you the best I can! I have a fenced in back yard with a lot of space. I have 3 senior dogs that love other dogs, but I also have plenty of space to keep dogs separated if needed. I also live walking distance from my local park. Smoke free home.
“Kim was so supportive. This was our first time with Rover and not with a Boarding facility. She was communicative and friendly. She put an anxious mama at ease. We will absolutely reach out to her when we need help again.”
“Kathleen is truly a gem! I cannot recommend Kathleen enough as a dog-sitter. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in her care. She’s reliable, caring, and genuinely loves animals—which shows in every interaction. Kathleen took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, quirks, and routines, and kept me updated with adorable photos and messages while I was away.”
“Thank you for taking care of Gigi! Will definitely book again. Even included a goodie bag 😸. Im sure she enjoyed her stay and the communication was top tier with lots of photos of her time there. I appreciate all the updates and making sure she had a comfortable stay. Thank you again!!!”
“I had a last-minute need to board my dog, and Rover came through in the best way possible. Amber and Dane were incredibly quick to respond, which was such a relief. From the start, I could tell they genuinely cared for my dog, Comet. They treated him like part of the family, and he clearly had a blast with their crew. They also sent lots of great photos during his stay, which helped put my mind at ease and showed just how much fun he was having. It’s clear that they go above and beyond to make both pets and pet parents feel comfortable. I absolutely plan to book with them again in the future!”
“Such a wonderful sitter! My pup really enjoyed staying and spending time with Shannon and her family. Shannon took such great care of Freya and kept me up to date through the duration!”
“This family is awesome. They are well worth the money they provided so much love and support from my Rottweiler. He had such a good time and he enjoyed himself. I recommend this family to anyone that needs a pet that are because they are out of this world truly five star.”
“Renata and her family are best! They treat our dogs like family and keep us posted on their stay. Our two dogs love staying with them, I can tell they are really comfortable and being spoiled. I definitely recommend her services. Thank you very much! 🐾❤️🐾”
“My pup had the time of his life with Maria and Matthew. They treated him like he was part of the family right from the start, I was reassured knowing he was in great hands!”
“My pup had the time of his life!! Genevie made my vacay so much more relaxing by knowing that my pup was being loved and cared for the same as I do at home. She provided many updates which put my mind at ease and really gave top notch service. I will certainly be using her again.”
