“When our dog sitter of over 10yrs moved away, we were worried we wouldn't be able to find a suitable replacment, but I wish we'd found Lisa 10yrs ago!!! Even though its hard for us to imagine how someone could NOT love our dog as much as we do (LOL!) Lisa obviously does care for her tenants as if they were her own! Thank you Lisa!”
“Cheyanne took amazing care of my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. She sent regular updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, and it was obvious my cats were comfortable and well cared for. What really stood out was how patient and attentive she was with them. She made sure they were not only fed and safe, but also happy and getting attention while I was gone. It meant a lot to come back knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Cheyanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Lauryn is a sweet, caring individual. I couldn't have asked for someone better!! She loved my girls and treated them like her own!! I got pictures and videos every day, which set my heart at ease. I will definitely use her again!! 🥰”
“Milena was great! She treated my boy like one of her own. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures as I was initially anxious about leaving him. Thank you so much for treating him well! We will be booking with her again!”
“Thank you Crystal for taking care of Oz and Lily. She is very thorough with the process and explains well what to expect. My dogs warmed up and felt really comfortable with her throughout the stay. We appreciate the photos, videos, and updates of our dogs throughout the day. I will definitely be using her for future boarding.”
“Thank you Mary for taking such good care of our boy, Tanner. He was so happy and really enjoyed his visit with you and your girl. I will be definitely keeping you in mind for future overnights for Tanner. Thank you again!”
“Once again our girl had a great time with Jessica! Jessica did a great job of communicating throughout our dog’s boarding, and I love knowing that she’s having a great time!”
“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!”
“Hillary and her crew took great care of my two dogs. I could tell that they were treated as members of their family. She left me with regular updates so I could relax and enjoy my time away. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Cristen and her whole family were absolutely amazing with my Norman!! Sent updates regularly and treated him as their own. I couldn’t be more appreciative of them!!”
“Gail was fantastic! Lily seem to feel right at home and got along well with her adorable chihuahua, Crystal. She sent photos to let me know Lily was doing well and enjoying her stay. She has the perfect setup for small dogs and I'm grateful she was available. I would definitely book with Gail again!”
“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.”
“She is wonderful! I was going out of state so I was a little nervous- but she is amazing at what she does. She suggested a meet and greet with dogs beforehand which was an excellent idea. Martina- thank you again!”
“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!”
“Max is unable to be boarded in a facility. Having Elisabeth care for Max has been a godsend as I’m finally able to plan get away trips. I can relax and enjoy my time knowing he’s receiving great care.”

“A great experience again! If I could give ten stars ….. I would. Audrey is wonderful with my kitties. One of mine went missing the day before the reservation and since Audrey lives near, I asked her to keep an eye out. She went above and beyond, helped by posting on lost pets sites, and she was reaching out to the community to help me find live traps. I found the kitty before I went out of town (thank goodness), but only a true animal lover would dive in and help like that! Thank you for your help, and taking wonderful care of my babies while I am away.”
“Connor was AWESOME. He makes a wonderful impression when you meet him. You just know he’s someone to fully rely on. He went over and above for me and I couldn’t be happier with how he performed when I left my cats in his care.”
“Avery is great!! She had excellent communication and follow-through the entire week of drop-in visits at my house. I loved the personalized notes/report cards she left after each visit. Avery is very trustworthy in your home. Her warm and calm demeanor is perfect for the care of your animals. I knew that my pet was in good hands from the moment I met her… This peace-of-mind allowed me to enjoy my vacation and time with my family even more - knowing my cat’s personal care was being handled with the upmost professionalism back home… I can always tell the level of care a pet sitter gives while I am gone, based on my cat’s behavior and stress level when I return, and my cat couldn’t have been more relaxed - like I never left! I would highly recommend Avery to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter.”
“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!”
“DeHaven and Ashlee are Wonderful!!🤩 This was the first time I have left my kiddos with someone other than family. Naturally, I was a little anxious at the thought of arranging it, but that quickly changed once I met them. They took the time to do a meet and greet, and I was instantly confident in my choice and felt totally at peace. They are great with communicating, wonderful with animals (to include the outdoor feathered ones), went above and beyond and even sent pics to us while we were gone!! I just can’t say enough great things about them and the whole experience!! Will definitely use them again!! Thank you Ashlee!!😊”
“One of our cats became ill while we were away and Ali handled the situation to perfection. Got our girl to an emergency vet and even attempted to bring her to her follow up with our regular vet (Goose would not cooperate) the next day. Great reports and pictures our entire trip and she handled a very stressful situatuation like a champ. We are very grateful.”
“I was reluctant to use rover because I haven’t been away from my cat before but she was amazing!! She gave daily updates and pictures and made me feel comfortable with the idea of rover. Will 100% book her again the next time I leave town 🩷”
“Milena was absolutely amazing! She was great at communicating and being patient with my babies! I have one dog that can be difficult at times so she updated me when things were rocky and didn't give up on him. I'll definitely be re-booking with her!”
“Christine has been a great and attentive sitter - very communicative, her rover cards are fantastic! My boys were happy and well-looked after. Will definitely recommend her and ask for her assistance in the future!”
About: Reliable & Loving Dog Care You Can Count On Hey there! I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, whether it’s for family, friends, or anyone who needs a trustworthy sitter. Being reliable and consistent is why I’m the one people call time and time again to watch their fur babies. From neighborhood walks to fun rides to the dog park and even playdates, I make sure every dog in my care gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently work Monday–Friday from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, but outside of that I’m fully dedicated to giving your dog the best care possible. Whether you’re looking for drop-ins, walks, or weekend care, I’m here to help make life easier for both you and your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby🐾❤️ I am currently a college student working overnights at the hospital, my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to work. Majority of the time I can fur baby sit on weekends and during a busy week! My current working hours are from 19:00-07:00 three days a week. I love to accommodate anyone I work for, as the current couple I fur baby sit for I watch their fur babies in their home. As I ensure all animals are taken care of, fed, cleaned, & their household is left the way they like it when they return home. Taking strolls around the neighborhood for the doggies and leaving blinds open so that the cat can sun bathe leaves both fur babies happy.
“Abagail did fantastic with our two cats! She kept us in the loop the entire time, played with and took care of them. Super nice and attentive! We could tell she loved taking care of cats and did a great job. We will 100% rebook her again!! Highly recommend!”
“Alyssa took great care of my cats and gave me some note on how they were both doing. Everything was smooth and my cats seemed very comfortable around her. She was also kind enough to bring in some of my mail. I will be rebooking the next time I’m out of town!”
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds from dogs, cat and ferrets. Animals enjoy my company and love attention I love to share with them. Pet sitting would help me keep my daily life occupied and busy. This will increase my time management and help with my daily off work life. I engage in playing in my fenced backyard. We will enjoy in healthy walks to help with leg stretching, time management for schedule meals as planned.

“Lisa was extremely patient and sweet with my challenging pup! She is so dedicated to helping nervous dogs with separation anxiety do their best. Very grateful for her dedication and highly recommend!”
“Samantha is a great sitter for Tilly. Any day of the week I need, she is always accomadating. I know Tilly is in good hands with her and always getting attention. Tilly looks forward to going over there and always comes back happy and tired. Thank you for continuing to watch Tilly!”

“Melissa is PHENOMENAL!!! A truly caring and dedicated sitter!! She was patient and kind and understands how much our baby means to us. To say she went above and beyond is a huge understatement!! I wish I could hire her full-time! Her baby Pappy is a huge cherry on top!! We are so happy!!”
“Jessica is the best! She accepted my request with less than 24 hours notice. She then worked with me when I needed to extend his pickup time. I always know that my puppy is in good hands with her and will have the time of his life running around. She will always be my number one pick for my puppy”
“Once again, Michelle took great care of our French Bulldog, Daly. She gave us several photos during the time she watched Daly. Michelle really knows how to make her 4-legged visitors feel at home. We were so fortunate to have Michelle take care of Daly again! Thanks, Michelle!”

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: My home can offer you the level of care and attention you want for your pet. I’ve always believed dogs shouldn’t just be “checked on”—they deserve attention, interaction, and a sense of comfort while their owners are away. Your pet will be loved on as if he/she were my own. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have raised several from puppies through their senior years, including a rescue, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. My home is very pet-friendly, with a large backyard for play and space to relax. I also have a 5-year-old lab and a young child, so safety is a top priority. I only accept dogs that are gentle and a good fit for a family environment. My goal is simple: to give your pet a safe, calm, and genuinely cared-for place that feels as close to home as possible. I am currently working part-time, so I am home frequently. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods of time. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm available 24/7 unless I am going out of town. I usually work Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 5pm-10pm. I prefer to do a meet and greet before boarding. I cant always accommodate last minute bookings, but don't hesitate to reach out. I have a large fenced in yard, one very playful 5 year old lab, and a friendly toddler. My dog has free rein of the house and yard. When I am home, I leave the back door open so she can come and go as she pleases. When I leave, I can separate the dogs and crate as needed.
About: I love dogs and have taken care of our family dog. I understand how precious they are and how they deserve to be treated with compassion and love I'm newly retired and would love to provide love and nurturing care to your sweet furbaby!

About: Hi there! My name is Connor and I have been working in the animal care field for 6 years. Not unlike my clients in the grooming salon, I ensure every animal under my responsibility is comfortable, happy, and healthy. As a former groomer I am very well versed in animal first aid and animal care including, but not limited to: Bathing, nail trimming, nail buffing, teeth brushing, and nutrition. If say you have a husky who sheds every where in your house, I am willing to perform grooming on your dog to sure they stay comfortable and your house stays clean. I look forward to working with you and please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you! Being that I am a pet parents of 5 animals myself, I understand that every animal is different and I cater to those needs, whether a people-shy Rottweiler, or a clingy pug, I ensure everyone has enough attention! I ensure that the treats and reward systems I use make them happy and excited to see me again. An example would be an old basset hound that would always run out to see me because I had his favorite treats and a husky to run around with him.

Spring semester is over and will not be back in classes until the Fall! I care for the needs of the pet/pets as instructed by the client. I try to make it so it was as if the client was home!

About: Hi! My name is Fallon and I am here to give loving, patient, reliable care to your pets. I have been around animals my whole life. This includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I enjoy all of them. I have previously worked as a vet assistant . I am a frequent visitor to the Isle of Wight animal shelter, where i walk the dogs. I have also fostered both cats and dogs and found them their forever homes. I am patient, loving, reliable and have experience handling all types of breeds. Please contact me for your animal needs . Thank you! I’m a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I am available mostly in the mornings when my kids are in school and can do some afternoons Safety and trust with dogs come from understanding their behavior and creating a calm, respectful environment. When people interact gently, respect a dog’s space, and pay attention to signs of stress, dogs are more likely to feel secure and respond positively. Consistent routines, supervision—especially around children—and clear boundaries help build trust, reduce fear, and keep both people and dogs safe.

Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly schedule. I have a flexible routine that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Since I already care for my own three cats and four dogs every day, providing quality care is a regular part of my life. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication if needed, or simply spending quality time with them. I believe consistency is important, and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away.

I also make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I’ll provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. Because every pet is unique, I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special needs before care begins. Whether they love to play, prefer quiet companionship, or need extra patience, I adapt my care to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.

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.

I offer safety for your pets by coming into the house slowly and making sure no pets escape, making sure all dogs are secure in harnesses and leashes before going on walks, making sure dogs are safe on walks and there are no run ins with other animals, and ensuring that animals are safe in the yard during yard let outs and there are no holes in fences. I also watch animal's behavior during visits to ensure they are not acting sick or injured. I also offer safety for your pets by ensuring they are safely locked in the house before I leave.

“When our dog sitter of over 10yrs moved away, we were worried we wouldn't be able to find a suitable replacment, but I wish we'd found Lisa 10yrs ago!!! Even though its hard for us to imagine how someone could NOT love our dog as much as we do (LOL!) Lisa obviously does care for her tenants as if they were her own! Thank you Lisa!”
“Cheyanne took amazing care of my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. She sent regular updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, and it was obvious my cats were comfortable and well cared for. What really stood out was how patient and attentive she was with them. She made sure they were not only fed and safe, but also happy and getting attention while I was gone. It meant a lot to come back knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Cheyanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Milena was great! She treated my boy like one of her own. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures as I was initially anxious about leaving him. Thank you so much for treating him well! We will be booking with her again!”
“Thank you Crystal for taking care of Oz and Lily. She is very thorough with the process and explains well what to expect. My dogs warmed up and felt really comfortable with her throughout the stay. We appreciate the photos, videos, and updates of our dogs throughout the day. I will definitely be using her for future boarding.”
“Thank you Mary for taking such good care of our boy, Tanner. He was so happy and really enjoyed his visit with you and your girl. I will be definitely keeping you in mind for future overnights for Tanner. Thank you again!”
“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!”
“Hillary and her crew took great care of my two dogs. I could tell that they were treated as members of their family. She left me with regular updates so I could relax and enjoy my time away. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Cristen and her whole family were absolutely amazing with my Norman!! Sent updates regularly and treated him as their own. I couldn’t be more appreciative of them!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Max is unable to be boarded in a facility. Having Elisabeth care for Max has been a godsend as I’m finally able to plan get away trips. I can relax and enjoy my time knowing he’s receiving great 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!”
“We Had the pleasure of using Britanny to watch over our sweet millie and it was a great experience. Britanny made sure she kept us in the loop and put all of our worries to rest with updates,pics, Etc. Being that it was our first time ever using a sitter, she made our stay away from millie extremely pleasant. Thank you again Brittany. I would highly recommend.”
“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Armonee. My dogs first time with a boarder and she could not have made things easier for him and me. Her communication is top tier with regular texts, photos and concerns. She is caring, gentle and tailors her approach to fit the animals needs, like she did with my special needs senior dog. She treats pets like they are her own and it is obvious from the moment you meet her. I trusted her completely and will be rebooking with her in the future. Highly, highly recommend if you are looking for a safe and loving place for your pet. My dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for.”
“Amazing and accommodating when had to extend at last minute. Really sweet and nice people. Notified me when stool was soft and kept monitoring. Will book again.”
“My wife and I had the birth of our first child scheduled, and last minute we decided to have someone board our smallest dog Icarus. Within 10 minutes of messaging Scott and Amanda they called me and told me to drop my little buddy off. They took such amazing care of him… Everyday they sent me text messages, pictures, videos; they walked Icarus, their kids played with him, their Lab Walter hung out with him. I even dropped Icarus with a bit of a stomach ache and they made sure he didn’t over eat and slowly fed him to make sure he was OK. One the day we were to pickup Icarus my wife and I had to stay at the hospital longer and last minute I asked if they could watch him for 2 more days and they said “no problem at all”. Scott and Amanda are absolutely amazing dog sitters, and they’re even better people.”
