Excellent service she treats pets the way great owners treat theirs. Provided daily updates for the week while I was away for work. Cannot recommend enough and also Elsa likes to get stinky by breed nature but smelled great on arrival so that was nice also.

This was my first experience leaving any of my animals with a stranger. 10 minutes after I met Jessica, I didn’t feel I was leaving him with a stranger any longer! Her and her family treated my little family member (Highway) like a family member. I am very pleased with my Rover and Jessica experience.

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!

Shelly should be your 1st choice as a sitter - ALWAYS! She definitely treats those in her care as part of her family. I didn’t worry from the minute that I dropped Luna off to the minute I picked her up - I knew she would be loved and cared for. Shelly sent me updates daily - little slices of Luna’s day that always made me smile. Don’t hesitate to choose Shelly for your caretaking needs. She is worth every penny!

Omaira and Isaac were awesome. They took excellent care of our boys. Both Bentley and Brody made some new friends. Omaira and Isaacs sent us pictures regularly showing the play times and socialization with other family/boarded guests. All got along well. And their back yard is large and fenced in allowing them ample free space to play and socialize. Will be using their help in September for 8 days. This trip was about 8 or 9 days. Thank you Omaira and Isaac!

Vania is an EXCELLENT dog sitter. She kept my 10 week old Benji (He's a Cavapoochon) overnight when I had to make a trip to North Carolina. She frequently updated me on how he was doing with texts and pictures. This was Benji's 1st stay away from home and I was never worried that he wasn't being taken care of. I highly recommend Vania for dog sitting and boarding. I will definitely use her services again! ?

I think Casper had a great time and with the kids especially because he did not want to get in the car to go home. Even after we got home he was sad for a few days. I highly recommend her and hope Casper can come back in the future. Thank you Jamie!

Our cat spent three weeks under Paul and Terri’s care. We received regular updates on our cat, and it was apparent they treated our kitty as if he was their own. His living conditions and care was superb. When we picked up our cat, he was super relaxed and in great condition. Kudos to Paul and Terri for being so caring and professional boarding animals left in their care.

Jackie kept us up to date on how the babies were doing and sent several pictures that put us at ease and let us enjoy ourselves knowing that they were having a good time.

Kacie offered up doing a meet and greet which was extremely helpful. She answered all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable. While we were away, she sent daily pictures and updates. We didn’t have to worry at all! Our dog loved his time with Kacie and will definitely be having her watch our sweet pup again.

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.

About: About Me 🐱❤️ I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats, and I absolutely love them! While I don’t personally own a cat, I’ve had plenty of experience caring for them and getting to know all of their unique personalities. I understand that cats can be independent and may need a little time to warm up, so I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. Whether your kitty loves attention and cuddles or prefers to do their own thing, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, care, playtime, fresh food and water, and a clean litter box. Your cat’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and love I would want for my own pets. 🐾💕

About: You can finally relax knowing your pet will be safe, treated like family and given all the love. Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom located in the Hilton area of Newport News. I’m active, reliable, and available from early mornings until late afternoon. I’ve cared for everything from a home full of 7 cats and 4 labradoodles (all at once!) to countless pets belonging to friends, family, and friends of friends. I have a 6 year old son with special needs who absolutely adores pets so if you’re looking for boarding, please make sure your pet is child-friendly. During the day however, he’s in school and I will be able to cover those who may not be small child friendly. I don’t mind hopping in the car to take your pup to the park or on a trail if they need more than just a quick lap around the block. I’m a big morning person who thrives on routine but, full disclosure, I avoid rush hour or late-night driving since my son is with me after 3:30 p.m. Monday–Friday. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or a place to stay while you’re away, I am here to help. Just drop me and line❤️ I’m available Mon-Fri from 5am-5pm for walks, parks, even just a home visit and car ride if your pet just needs some 1:1 during work hours. Weekends are limited so send me a message during the week to check availability. I have a large yard but it is not fenced. My son and I enjoy walking whenever we can around our neighborhood in Hilton. I have a pet and baby proof clean home with a gentle loving child. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me so you won’t have to worry about anyone making a mess and it not being cleaned up.

About: I love animals, and I would love to start getting out of my house more. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12, and would love to get back into it. I am good at basic training things such as : sit, stay, lay down, and I can also teach them to play dead. I don't mind feeding them or bathing them either. I can't wait to meet your fury companions! I have two littles and would love for us to start getting out of the house. I am basically always free, and would love to take care of your fury family members! I have fenced yard if I were to have your pet at my home. I also have a female dog who is super energetic while outside. I own a dog crate as well, just in case. Depending what I am booked for, I love to play with all pets. Usually if I have time during a booking I will play and give pets to my clients as if they were my own.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I have over 12 years of pet-care experience and am a pet parent myself to three Chihuahuas, including a senior dog. Because of this, I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that senior pets can need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, and I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet, relaxed environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home full-time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s normal routine, including meals, potty breaks, walks, medications, and plenty of love and cuddles. 🐾❤️ Because I’m home most of the day, your pet can have someone nearby rather than being left alone for long periods. I truly enjoy having animals around and love making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their families are away. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and the routine their family has established. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, meals, and lots of love. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and basic medication care when needed. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, schedule, and specific needs before their family leaves. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: Hey there! I'm a proud military member and animal shelter volunteer with 10+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and even the little critters! From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve got the skills to handle it all. Need meds given or special diets followed? No problem! I’m all about keeping your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free. I’m big on communication, so you’ll always know how your fur-babies are doing. With me, it’s not just pet sitting—it’s personalized, loving care that gives you total peace of mind. Let’s make sure your pets have a tail-wagging good time while you’re away! Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I dedicate specific times for walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs such as administering medications or training sessions. I schedule my work and personal activities around my pet care responsibilities, ensuring that each pet receives consistent and attentive care. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various needs, whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or extended care. This dedication ensures that every pet in my care feels loved, safe, and well-attended to throughout the week. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets by providing a designated area with comfortable bedding, toys, and plenty of space to roam.

About: Your dog will get lots of love and attention from me! I’m available for check-ins and walks with your dog in Kemah/Clear Lake Shores. We will have fun taking walks, playing outside, or cuddling! My family has shared our homes and our lives with Jack Russells, Labs, and beagles since I was a little kid. For the last 5 years, I've been a dog mom to a Chocolate Lab. Penny is a very energetic, fun girl! I know how dogs become part of your family, and I'll treat your dog as such! I’ve been a Rover pet sitter for ten years, in Virginia, Montana, and now Texas. I have experience taking care of pets as well as livestock, and administering medications. I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you may have! I typically assist my clients with pet care and walks in the morning (around 7 a.m.) noon and evenings (5-8 p.m.) on weekdays. My weekends are more flexible. When I visit your home, I will check in with you upon arrival, with a photo and text message. I will also document any services I provide (feeding, walks, etc.) I will follow instructions provided for feeding, watering, potty breaks, walks, and treats.

I could rave about how absolutely amazing Samantha was with my Khaleesi for hours, but I’ll keep it short for reading purposes. My dog Khaleesi is a high anxiety dog and does not do well with strangers and typically hides from them. Samantha had her during the day for 3 days, and from day 1 Khaleesi took right to her. It did take some warming up time, but Samantha kept me very updated and sent pictures throughout the day. By the end of the 3 days, Khaleesi was walking into Samantha’s house without hesitation and didn’t even turn around to look at me. Samantha is incredible and I highly recommend her!!!!

About: Hello, I have an adult cat and a 9 month old golden retriever. I have experience in training my golden, who can do basic and more complex commands (some were taught by me and by a trainer). I am okay with caring for young’s pets, and am open to giving medications or other special care that your fur babies may need :) I enjoy walking my dog and also have a cat stroller if any kitties would like some outside time! I am a full time student and barista, so I work morning shifts most days. I am typically available in the afternoons and evenings to drop-ins or walks! I care for any pet as if it is my own! I enjoy walking my dog at parks or in neighborhoods, and would do the same for other pups. I give love and pets to my cat daily, and would of course treat other cats with the same attention!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I have over 12 years of pet-care experience and am a pet parent myself to three Chihuahuas, including a senior dog. Because of this, I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that senior pets can need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, and I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet, relaxed environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home full-time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s normal routine, including meals, potty breaks, walks, medications, and plenty of love and cuddles. 🐾❤️ Because I’m home most of the day, your pet can have someone nearby rather than being left alone for long periods. I truly enjoy having animals around and love making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their families are away. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and the routine their family has established. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, meals, and lots of love. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and basic medication care when needed. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, schedule, and specific needs before their family leaves. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

I will follow the instructions that are given to me very carefully because every dog is different. I do recommend having us meeting before you leave so I can bond with your fur baby with you there so they are comfortable with me. If you have a certain route you like to take your fur baby for walks or if you have a dog park where your dog can play with other dogs (if they are social) let me know! Otherwise I will walk your fur baby for a minimum of one hour and maybe even take them with me for small store runs in the area (with your permission ofc!).

About: Dogs have become a true passion of mine. I provide more than feeding and walks; I focus on understanding each dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. I’ve worked extensively with puppies and adolescent dogs, helping build confidence, good manners, and positive social skills through structure, patience, and consistency. I carefully monitor eating habits, energy levels, and overall health while dogs are in my care, and I keep owners updated with photos and detailed communication. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply relax, my goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. My schedule allows me to give dogs plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I plan my routine around exercise, structured play, rest periods, potty breaks, and enrichment rather than leaving dogs unattended for long stretches. I strive to maintain each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Safety is always my highest priority. Every new dog is introduced gradually based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience using crates appropriately for rest, meals, and decompression when needed, and I carefully supervise all interactions between dogs. If your dog prefers quiet one-on-one attention, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I believe every dog is an individual. I take time to observe behavior, communication, and comfort level so I can provide care that fits each dog’s personality rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

About: I've worked in animal welfare & shelters since 2015. I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats with various personalities and needs. I personally own 3 dogs and several cats all at various ages. One of my cats is disabled- and I've owned and worked with dogs and cats that have special needs (seziures, CH, deaf, blind), take daily medications, and possess specific breed traits/personalities that can't make them difficult to manage. Currently work remote and have a large amount of flexibility in between travel for work. I can prov8de limited boarding in home- dogs must be able to coexhist with cats, be able to be crated and/or left in a single room unattended, and be respectful of baby gates. I do have a separate space for cats that is easier to manage. Current cats in the home do free roams but there is an entire space devoted to the dogs in the home. Can crate and rotate as needed and care for up to 2 dogs if everyone can get along. In your home I prefer to stick to as close of a routine that you provide them with- from their potty breaks to morning and evening walks. Staying as consistent as possible can help provide a relaxing trip for you and your pet.

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.

Where to even begin with Sariah. She has been walking our boys for months now and we would be lost without her. Originally she started off walking our lab and terrier mix and they both absolutely adored her. Then we unexpectedly had to put our terrier down and she missed him just as much as we did. A month later we rescued our yorkie and she didn’t hesitate taking him on. He wasn’t leash trained, was scared and just over all a traumatized dog. She helped him walk on a leash, carried him when he needed to be carried and loved him through. We are devastated at her moving and not being able to care for our boys anymore. We always knew they were in good hands with her. Sariah thank you so much for taking care of our boys as we would and loving them. You will be missed dearly.

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 2025 :-( 🐾🐾🐾 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 SUNDAY thru WEDNESDAY. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 8am to 2pm. Thursday thru Saturday 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. See my reviews / testimonials on the WAG! platform for pets I have provided care for recently. 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.

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!

Shelly should be your 1st choice as a sitter - ALWAYS! She definitely treats those in her care as part of her family. I didn’t worry from the minute that I dropped Luna off to the minute I picked her up - I knew she would be loved and cared for. Shelly sent me updates daily - little slices of Luna’s day that always made me smile. Don’t hesitate to choose Shelly for your caretaking needs. She is worth every penny!

Omaira and Isaac were awesome. They took excellent care of our boys. Both Bentley and Brody made some new friends. Omaira and Isaacs sent us pictures regularly showing the play times and socialization with other family/boarded guests. All got along well. And their back yard is large and fenced in allowing them ample free space to play and socialize. Will be using their help in September for 8 days. This trip was about 8 or 9 days. Thank you Omaira and Isaac!

Vania is an EXCELLENT dog sitter. She kept my 10 week old Benji (He's a Cavapoochon) overnight when I had to make a trip to North Carolina. She frequently updated me on how he was doing with texts and pictures. This was Benji's 1st stay away from home and I was never worried that he wasn't being taken care of. I highly recommend Vania for dog sitting and boarding. I will definitely use her services again! ?

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!

Jackie was awesome!! This is the second time we left our babies with her. The babies were taken care of very well and enjoyed themselves while in her care. Jackie kept us up to date on how the babies were doing and sent several pictures that put us at ease and let us enjoy ourselves knowing that they were having a good time. Would definitely highly recommend Jackie, and we will definitely hire her again.

Highly recommend Kacie to anyone!!! We are semi-new to the area and needed to find someone to watch our 8 year old dog while we were away for a week trip out of the country. Kacie offered up doing a meet and greet which was extremely helpful. She answered all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable. While we were away, she sent daily pictures and updates. We didn’t have to worry at all! Our dog loved his time with Kacie and will definitely be having her watch our sweet pup again.

Such a wonderful sitter! She made sure my dog got lots of exercise, which she needs since she’s a herding dog. She also made sure my dog ate all her food, which can be a problem with her sometimes. Rachel eased my worries about my pup with lots of pictures, and really helped make my vacation worry-free. 10/10 would recommend!

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.
