I fully trust that I am leaving him in capable hands when I drop him off. The home environment that Jennifer provides is unbeatable. I would never send my dog anywhere else!”
“Lily just loves it when we drop her off with Christianna and Mary B. and why not because they continue to provide the best care and attention to her. Thanks again and for the video too.”
“Denise and here family were great with our two dogs. I worry a lot about about our one dog as she’s very skittish, and Denise provided lots of updates which eased my mind.

“She was absolutely wonderful! She was very kind, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about my puppy.

I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. 🐾”

“We just picked up our pup from Lindalyn. He spent 4 days with her. One of the greatest rover experiences we have had to date.

I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. Thanks Lindalyn!”
“Karen P was great! She provided a meet and greet opportunity beforehand to make sure our dogs were compatible with each other. She was very flexible and accommodating in a last minute drop off time as well as an earlier pick up time. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”

“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was so sweet and took great care of my babies. This was my first time leaving them and I felt so comfortable leaving them in her hands. Lots of cute pictures and updates. Thanks again Sarah, I will be using you 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.”

“Second time using Genil (in less than two weeks) and she was just as great as the first time. I had a last minute request and she accommodated my early morning drop off time. She sent pics showing her interacting with the puppy and he had a great time. Her mom is funny, too. It took a second for my puppy to warm up to her but they're best friends now. Lol.

About: Hi 👋 My name is Brooke and I’m your 4-legged-baby‘s new best friend. I am both a dog and a cat person. I’ve had the privilege loving my own and have fostered many others. I have tons of experience with special needs pets, including special diets and administering medications. While getting paid to do something I love sounds amazing, safety is priority number 1. So go and enjoy yourself, I have everything under control 😉 While I do have to show up to my day job in order to maintain my cats life of luxury(and believe me he is demanding), I am an early bird so I can stop by first thing in the morning. I will head right over after work and again before bed. Unless you’d like me to have a sleep over with your pet so that they won’t feel lonely. I’m going to love your pet as if they were my own. I follow instructions and I don’t allow myself to become distracted. Your pet is my priority.
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.

“Ashley T. was terrific! With many years of experience, this mild-mannered, petite yet confident dog sitter immediately knew how to care for and manage my Giant Pyrenees Doodle- all 75 pounds of him. I felt good about leaving my huge fur baby with her for my out of town trip. During my dog's stay, Ashley periodically sent photos and updates. This was most comforting and I was able to enjoy my long needed trip. I highly recommend Ashley T. and will hire her again and again.”
