“Gabrielle was amazing! We were out of the country and our pet sitter had to leave early on our last day as we were traveling back home. We worked everything out with Gabrielle through the app. She showed up when we needed her to, and she did everything we needed so we didn’t worry about our babies as we were traveling home. I will definitely use her again, and I would recommend her without hesitation. And our babies seemed to love her!”


“Alexandra was such a great sitter! She was so loving and sweet with my fur babies, kind, responsive, and flexible with me. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”


“Our first time using Rover for our Sophie girl and Kirra made it so easy! She was amazing with Sophie and I appreciated her thorough updates and pics! I would definitely recommend her to all of my friends and family!”


“Lauren was amazing! It was my first time using drop ins and she made me feel comfortable and was very communicative! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”


About: I’ve been working in dog daycares since i was 16. I can handle breeds of all shapes and sizes. I have helped several clients to make sure their days are easier. Currently working part time and have plenty of free time to care for and love on your babies! Im available for walks or overnights 7 days a week I can do walks on leash or watch pups outside. For my own home, I have a large backyard with lots of space to roam.

About: I’ve owned pets my entire life and currently have 3 indoor cats who are amazing. I’m a recently retired teacher of 27 years in the Virginia Beach City Public School System and am now giving up students for fur babies! I have owned pets my entire life and have even recently rehabbed a baby Carolina Chickadee(in the spring). I have experience with giving cats meds(pill shooter). I’m a recently retired teacher and am available daily for all pet services seven days a week. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, lizards,and fish as I have always helped out my friends as they have done in return for me. My cats are indoor. I prefer to go to your home because I don’t want to upset my babies. I can travel to your home.

About: Not only do I love dogs, I’ve had 6 over my life. 2 Rottweilers, a Belgian Malinois, a small rescue and currently a Lab! So to say I have experience is almost as obvious as saying I love dogs! I also love fitness so walking dogs is a great way to get both loves in and I can accommodate high energy needs (runs, trails, etc). I live in an extremely dog friendly neighborhood as well and can help military on base as well. I walked and baby sat dogs throughout high school, so I’m returning to my roots! I also use this service for my lab, Dewey, so I am familiar with what it’s like to leave your best friend in someone else’s hands, as well as the level of care, professionalism, and love you expect from whoever is looking out for your guy or gal. Can’t wait to meet your best friend! I work during the week but am open on the weekends! I can be flexible with scheduling to. Very happy to accommodate last minute requests and help with whatever needed. I have base access to for anyone on base. I can help military members living on base. I live near parks, trails, plenty of walking and running capabilities. I can be flexible with last minute plans as well. I have plenty of experience with both this app and with outside pet care that I can assure the professionalism you desire with bringing someone into your home and leaving your pet in their care.

About: I am in my mid-30s and have always had a dog as a pet for as long as I can remember. I also have experience working with a specific company, fostering many anxious dogs in the past. My furbaby, Frankie, whom I fostered and ended up adopting, has recently passed away (Devastated). That said, I wanted to reopen my Rover page to accept one dog boarding at a time. If you're very particular about who watches your dog, or your dog doesn't get along with other dogs, or they are just over-anxious and need special attention, I'm your girl. I am only boarding 1 dog at a time. I will give all my time and love to your furbaby! Also, accepting local drop-ins!! I have a personal business I run from home and i'm home all day. I do not have kids or any other animals at the moment. I would love to spend time with your pet, while your away! They are my number 1 priority while I am with your pet, like they are my own. I form quick bonds with animals and have amazing amounts of compassion for animals. They are my kids, i do not have any children.

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Back in my home country, I have a 15-year-old senior dog and a 6-year-old dog, both of whom I’ve raised and cared for with love and attention. I’ve also served as a foster home multiple times, giving temporary shelter and care to dogs in need, from puppies to seniors. Additionally, I looked after my best friend’s dog for 6 months while they were abroad, providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I’m patient, attentive, and fully understand the needs of both energetic young dogs and older dogs who need a bit more care. Dogs aren’t just pets to me, they’re family, and I treat every dog I care for with the same love and respect as my own. I’m currently available occasionally, mostly on certain mornings or afternoons, as I also have other jobs. I’m happy to help with love when I can! I can take care of dogs at my place, which has green areas and social spaces perfect for walks and playtime. I can also come to your home if needed, depending on location and availability.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. From playful puppies to senior dogs requiring special care, I’m well-versed in handling their unique needs.

One of the benefits of working from home is that I can offer flexible and attentive care for your pets throughout the day. My home-based work schedule allows me to provide: - Frequent Walks and Playtime: I can easily accommodate multiple walks and play sessions each day, ensuring your pet gets plenty of exercise and attention. - Consistent Supervision: Your pet will never feel lonely or neglected, as I’m around to keep them company and monitor their well-being. - Prompt Response: Whether it’s feeding time, administering medication, or attending to any special needs, I can promptly respond to your pet's needs. - Customized Care: I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine, making their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Beyond just care, I aim to build a bond with every pet I meet, making sure they feel at home and comfortable. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own, providing them with the utmost love and attention.

Cordillia A.
“Cordillia worked for me at our Luxury Dog Resort for 1 year. She was reliable, punctual and trustworthy. She will get to know your pet individually and knows to trust her instincts if she feels anything is "off" with your pet. She watched our 2 year old Lab Charlotte at our home for a week also while we were in Alaska. Our Resort was sold out ironically so we needed a pet sitter for our own dog. She gave me frequent updates and my dog was perfectly happy and healthy when we returned. You will be lucky to have her care for your pets.”
