“Stacy was very communicative and helpful with our cat. She gave photo and video updates every night and let us know how she was adjusting to her new environment. She was caring by playing and holding her since our cat needs lots of activity.”
“Second time using Sharon and service was again outstanding. Our pup was loved, well-attended to, and received lots of attention. Came back happy and healthy. Sharon is very easy to communicate with, flexible with logistics, and kept us informed throughout our trip. 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!”
“Kristyna took such good care of Winkie. I was out of the country while she had a few vet appointments scheduled. Kristyna took her to her appointments, administered her medicine and kept her safe and comfortable during her stay. She kept me updated morning and night with pictures, I didn’t even have to ask. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Cherry was wonderful with our Roscoe! She was available last minute and spoiled us (and him!) with walks and snuggles and we got tons of photos during his stay! Will absolutely book again when the need arises!”
“Linda watched our dog while we were out of town this past weekend and we could not have been happier with our experience. Linda quickly responded to our request and questions, and was communicative all weekend. Booking was easy and drop off/pickup was flexible and smooth. We received updates everyday and several pictures of how Gunner was doing during his stay. In all the pictures you could tell that Gunner felt right at home and when we picked him up he was exhausted from playing. Linda went above and beyond to make Gunner feel at home and make us feel at ease leaving him. We will definitely be using Linda again and would 100% recommend her.”
“I had Rhonda take care of my 2 dachshunds for 6 days. She was awesome she sent us pictures and communicated with us the entire home. She has a beautiful home and fenced in backyard. Rhonda has a beautiful personality inside and out. She is a true dependable person to take care of my pups again.”

“Nicole has been the best caretaker for Ginger so far. She was very punctual, quick responder, kept us updated all the time, and I could tell Ginger had great time. He didn’t want to go home with us ??. Definitely recommend Nicole.”
“Another wonderful experience. Nina is caring, reliable, and always treats our dogs like they are her own. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and comfortable they were. We truly appreciate the love, attention, and great communication she provides. We highly recommend Nina and will definitely continue using her in the future!”
“Danielle was amazing! Every time I checked up on how my golden was doing she would provide me with either a picture or a video. Definitely would recommend.”

“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”
“Wow! Amber and Dane were phenomenal with Daisy! They were great with communication, flexible, and even celebrated her birthday as we were out of town. 🥹 10/10 recommend.”
“Mikaelan did a WONDERFUL job with my buddy while I was gone! Lots of exercise and exceptional care. I would HIGHLY recommend her to board your dog with, and next time I'm out of town, I'll book with her again!”
“Thank you so much for your kindness and patience with our energetic little boy. We know he can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, but you never gave up, and we truly appreciate it.”

I have a huge free open field behind my apartment perfect for long walks or playing! My two corgis are also very friendly and love other dogs! I can also crate them if that’s needed!

“We have hired Ashley twice, both for 2-4 week periods and her service was impeccable. My pets loved her so much that they were waiting at the door for us when we pulled up, expecting Ashley doing her rounds. She is also very thorough at cleaning up after the pets and making sure their food and water is always topped up. 10/10 pet sitter!”

“Love Kristynah! She watched my pup Nesbit for doggie daycare and he was so happy after spending the day with her. I really appreciate that she introduced him to her cats and took adorable pictures. Her notes about what happened during the day were detailed and she really helped me out by letting me drop him off super early in the morning. We will definitely be visiting Kristynah again!”
About: I recently got married and moved to the area. I’m a Virginia tech animal science grad. I have worked in a boarding and daycare facility the past 2 years. I also have some dog training experience from college and in the kennel facility. Upon request I can offer training sessions for your pups. I recently moved to the area and still looking for a job that’s a good fit for me. In the meantime your pups will have all my free time! I have plenty of experience working with all types of dogs, including ones that are nervous greeters, food aggressive, barrier reactivity, leash reactivity and more. I understand every dog is different and will always work to make your dog comfortable in any environment. Big advocate for always having treats on hand and reading their body language at every interaction.
“I can't say enough good things about Dustin. I met him this morning when I dropped off Blaze, my 4 month old lab. We spent a good amount of time talking as my boy was introduced do some of the other dogs. He answered all my questions, gave me plenty of tips & suggestions for specific situations and things I had planned for the future. He really put me at ease which is saying a lot because I don't have a ton of dog experience. When I picked Blaze up this afternoon Dustin showed me a few videos he took, we talked a bit more about puppies in general, etc - I could go on and on. Suffice it to say it's clear he enjoys working with our furry friends, he's really good at it, and I intend to bring Blaze for more visits soon, maybe some training too.”
“Linda is fantastic!! She is a miracle worker with our dog Cloe, who normally isn’t very social and doesn’t eat while we are away. But Linda got her eating and playing with other dogs and she was so happy! We will definitely be going back!”
“Landon was great with Murphy! Very responsive and friendly. It was super easy to make arrangements for drop off and pick up. Definitely recommend and will use again.”
“Absolutely LOVED HER. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, I loved her availability was open and ready to take her in for care immediately when we messaged. When I come back to visit I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Nicole was super comprehensive with the break down of the day and updated me throughout the day with pictures and messages. Penny was exhausted after daycare and spent the rest of the evening lounging around. Will be going back! Thank you Nicole🩷”
“JASON IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST DOG SITTER!! Jason has been watching my senior boston once or twice a week for several months now. My boy has limited sight and hearing and I was so worried about finding someone I could trust to take good care of him as if he was their own dog. But I came across Jason on Rover, and from day one it has been the best experience every single time. Jason is just so warm and friendly, and his home is like a doggie paradise. He has always been so accommodating and excited to watch my dog every time. He is just so dedicated to giving the best care to the dogs he watches, and the peace of mind I have knowing my boy is in good hands is priceless. My boy is always so happy to go to his house and play with his doggy friends, and the pictures I receive from Jason reflect the awesome time my dog is having throughout the day. I just can't say enough how happy I am to have such a top quality sitter for my dog, and it makes me just so happy to see my dog having such a great time running around and playing and living his best life at Jason's house. Jason - thank you for all you do, and for being someone I can trust with my Keanu's safety and committed care when he is not with me.”
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.
“Words can't describe how awesome my experience was putting the care of my puppy in Zack's hands. As soon as I drop them off, he felt so at home,and it was clear to see that my puppy will be in good hands!! When picking him up, he was in a great mood! I brought him home, and he fell as straight to sleep. Zach's dogs played so well with Carmelo, and I look forward to setting up another time for him to spend the day with them! I look forward to the next play date Zach's house with his dogs, and I recommend anyone ,who wants their dog to be in great hands to choose him as a handler.”
“April was so amazing, I almost want to keep her greatness a secret. She was completely flexible with me on timing of drop off and pick up and available for lots of chats and a meet up before I booked. She treated my little guy with such kindness which made me feel comfortable with her instantly. Will definitely have April on my list of doggy sitters for future stays.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family for many years, providing a safe, loving home while they’re away. My spacious, dog-friendly home and large fenced backyard give pups plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day to provide personalized care, attention, and exercise. On the occasional evening I work, my husband and our two adult sons, who are also dog lovers, help care for your pup. Our resident dog, Graham, is a calm, friendly senior who enjoys other dogs and helps create a relaxed environment. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and treated like part of the family. I am Home during the day and only work occasional weekend evenings from 7:00–11:00 PM. During those times, my husband and adult children are home to help supervise and care for your pup. If I need to run a quick errand, I do have a crate available if your dog is crate-trained and comfortable using one. I follow a structured daily routine that includes playtime, walks, potty breaks, rest periods, and plenty of attention, while always adapting to your dog’s individual needs and schedule. My own dog, Graham, is a well-trained senior who is calm, independent, and very well-behaved. His routine will not interfere with the care and attention your dog receives. Because of my home environment, I do prefer dogs that are house-trained, can comfortably be left alone for short periods if necessary, and have basic manners. My home is spacious, clean, and dog-friendly, providing plenty of room for your pup to relax and play. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time. Please note that I have a large ungated swimming pool, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around a pool and will not attempt to jump in. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I require that dogs: * Be fully house-trained. * Be friendly and social with other dogs. * Have good manners in a group setting. I occasionally host up to three dogs at a time, which is the maximum number I accept. This allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and care. Everyone in my home is an adult, so there are no small children. This creates a calm environment where your dog will receive consistent care, love, and supervision. To ensure the best experience for everyone, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting any new client. This gives us the opportunity to make sure your pup is a great fit for my home and helps everyone feel comfortable before their stay.
About: I've been an animal lover and owner of cats and dogs my whole life.

About: I’ve had numerous pets over the years and LOVED them all. I would love to help take care of yours if you need help. Flexible schedule! I work for myself and as an XRay Technologist in the Tidewater area with a very flexible schedule so I can accommodate most requests that you or your pet(s) may need. I have built my career taking care of people in the healthcare settings and carry that professionalism and courtesy and safety in everything I involve myself in.
About: I've loved dogs and cats my whole life and I have a good reproir with them. As a Rover sitter, I think it is important to give them lots of love and attention, and to keep them safe. A good sitter always keeps in mind how important people's pets are to them, and should make them feel at ease while they are away, and confident that thier babies are in good hands by communicating with them regularly and meeting all of thier needs. I have many repeating clients, and thier pets have become like family members to me over the years. We are always happy to see each other, but also sad when it's time to leave. My most cherished achievement was when I trained my friend's Dotson (Titus) with a fun snack-training system and prepared him for the dog Olympics tournament in Ohio, in which he came first place. I taught Titus to jump and spin, dance and roll-over and etc by directing his motions with the snack and repeating the commands until the snacks were no longer necessary. I used three brands of treats: Bronze treats (hard food); silver treats (soft dog snacks); and gold treats (a piece of white meat. It took a lot of repetition and patience, but after a couple of months, he became the most clever and talented dog i've ever trained. I also taught him to sing "Walk Like A Man" by The 4 Seasons. I work part-time in the early evening at Bach To Rock, which makes it easy to feed the dogs in the morning and at night. I also get gaps in my teaching schedule which allows me to drop in and take them for a walk or let them out if necessary. I also substitute teach which allows me to make my own schedule and that makes it easier for me to spend plenty of time taking care of people's pets when I have bookings. My other job is very close by so commuting is convenient as well. The safety and well-being of the pets is my top priority. Their emotional well-being is important too. Dogs get anxious and even depressed when their owners leave so it's my job to keep them comfortable and entertained. When I'm staying at a client's house, I make sure to keep doors shut and stay mindful when going in and out so they don't run out or get into anything they're not supposed to. I always make sure to ask about the layout of the house and the backyard, so they cant run off. When I'm walking them, I avoid stopping and talking with other people who are walking their pets, and I always make sure I know how their leash or harness goes on so they don't slip out of it. And then if they take meds, I set an alarm on my phone with a reminder note.
“Briana was absolutely incredible with Milo and Hera this weekend! From meet and greet, I knew they were in great hands.

We will definitely be booking with Briana again!”

I have a huge free open field behind my apartment perfect for long walks or playing! My two corgis are also very friendly and love other dogs! I can also crate them if that’s needed!
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I had a weekend trip planned and my 86yr old mom had just moved in with us again. I booked Stephanie to walk the dog 2x a day for 4 days.

Kristyna took her to her appointments, administered her medicine and kept her safe and comfortable during her stay. She kept me updated morning and night with pictures, I didn’t even have to ask. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Linda watched our dog while we were out of town this past weekend and we could not have been happier with our experience. Linda quickly responded to our request and questions, and was communicative all weekend. Booking was easy and drop off/pickup was flexible and smooth. We received updates everyday and several pictures of how Gunner was doing during his stay. In all the pictures you could tell that Gunner felt right at home and when we picked him up he was exhausted from playing. Linda went above and beyond to make Gunner feel at home and make us feel at ease leaving him. We will definitely be using Linda again and would 100% recommend her.”
“MaryKathryn and Sebastian were an amazing choice for taking care of my baby! As soon as he walked inside he felt at home. They were also super flexible when I needed to change my pick up time! Thank you!”
“Great communication, lovely personality, and her dog is very relaxed. My pup sometimes has issues with other dogs, but they got along very well. Would recommend to anyone needing a sitter 🙂”
“Nicole has been the best caretaker for Ginger so far. She was very punctual, quick responder, kept us updated all the time, and I could tell Ginger had great time. He didn’t want to go home with us ??. Definitely recommend Nicole.”
“Danielle was amazing! Every time I checked up on how my golden was doing she would provide me with either a picture or a video. Definitely would recommend.”
“Benjamin did a great job watching my dog for over a week, and kept me updated throughout her stay. He's flexible, responsive, and super friendly. Highly recommend!”
“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”
“Wow! Amber and Dane were phenomenal with Daisy! They were great with communication, flexible, and even celebrated her birthday as we were out of town. 🥹 10/10 recommend.”
“Mikaelan did a WONDERFUL job with my buddy while I was gone! Lots of exercise and exceptional care. I would HIGHLY recommend her to board your dog with, and next time I'm out of town, I'll book with her again!”
“Thank you so much for your kindness and patience with our energetic little boy. We know he can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, but you never gave up, and we truly appreciate it.”
About: I have trained both of my corgis myself and volunteered at animal shelters for a few years in Texas and Florida, I love animals and being around them. I am in the Navy and am currently in a holding period so I only work an hour every day leaving me plenty of time to care for your babies and my own! I have a huge free open field behind my apartment perfect for long walks or playing! My two corgis are also very friendly and love other dogs! I can also crate them if that’s needed!
“Reiniza and her family were so wonderful and treated our girl, Stevie, like family. She was sad to leave! We will definitely go to Reiniza again and are so thankful for a great experience. We highly recommend!!”
“Lisa took exceptional care of my dog. He was very happy while in her care. I got regular updates of how he was doing through the week which were much appreciated. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Katja did a terrific job taking care of my sweet little dog! She sent me updates and pictures every day to let me know how she was doing, she even sent me a couple of videos. Katja and her family treated my baby like part of their family. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Obi had an amazing time at Priscilla’s! I was a little nervous leaving him for a few weeks in a new place but he had such a great time! Lots of interaction with other dogs, we got lots of good updates. Really happy with the experience obi had and would definitely use Priscilla’s services again in the future ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“omg! Julie was AMAZING!!!! I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of my pup, Koda. This was my first time using rover, and I was really nervous because I have only ever left Koda with close family or friends. She assured me that Koda would be in good hands and he seemed comfortable with her from the start. He can be anxious when in a new place, but he settled in very quickly. She was accommodating, flexible, and best of all she provided lots of updates and pictures, and was very attentive to our messages replying within minutes. Koda loved to follow her and her sweet grandkids around the house and snuggle up on the couch (that’s a dachshund for you!) 😂 If you are feeling anxious about Rover, definitely consider using Julie!! I will be rebooking Julie for future dog sitting needs. THANK YOU!”
