About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 20 years. I love dogs and providing the peace of mind to their loved ones while they are away from home. I’m clean, organized and value your privacy. Allow me to help care for your pet and home whether it’s for a potty pop in or an extended trip. I’m here for you! I can provide let outs between 4-8 hrs apart. Available for feeding, walking and overnight stays. I have a semi flexible work schedule. I prefer staying for 2 or more days if house sitting. I provide care in your home and am willing to stay overnight for house sitting. I am clean responsible and value your privacy. I am a professional and comport myself as one when other people’s homes and pets are under my care.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. From my own dogs to now adding my wife’s dog. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I do work 8am-5pm so I can walk them early am before work or after work. I have two fur babies, Zoey and Bentley. I have had Bentley since he was 8 weeks and Zoey since she was 1. I'm truly a dog lover. They are family. We go on daily walks 2-3 times a day. We visit a dog park every weekend. I currently live in an apartment community so it is very important that I allow Bentley and Zoey to get as much exercise as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid. My family and I grew up with a lab mix, Maltese, and a maltipoo. I’m not currently working full time, so I have availability to care for your dog! I’m available weekdays and weekends for dog sitting at my clients’ homes. I care for pets in my clients home. I am used to watching my family’s dog when they are away for extended periods including playtime, walks, and cuddles.
About: I’ve grown up with lots of animals, trained them and am aware of most allergies, habits and behaviors when it comes to cats and dogs. My family breeds AKC Shepard’s so I have plenty of experience with velociraptors as well! Reptiles, birds, and fish as well. I go to work at around 8 am and get back around 5.30. Typically I don’t do much the rest of the night aside from daily chores, so I think my time is better spent with furry friends helping others out! I am able to do morning checkups before work and depending on the distance I can do mid day check ups as well. Routine, patience and understanding body language is important when it comes to going out, when animals are uncomfortable or also scared. This is important when it comes to keeping the owners house clean and keeping them comfortable. With dogs you are new, coming into their space, it’s going to stress them out so it’s important to keep in mind how you should approach animals in their own home as well as in public with others.
“Tiffany does a great job walking our girls whenever we need her to. We love that she gives detailed updates and always makes sure they get water before she leaves. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have been sitting since I was a kid. I love animals but I especially love dogs - your fur baby and I will be best friends while you are away. I love going on walks and playing fetch, and generally just doing what I can to make sure your dog is well cared for. I have experience giving dogs medications, baths, etc. I have experience with 8 week old puppies as well as elderly dogs. I’m a graduate student with night class two nights a week, so if it falls on those nights I will be away for that. I also have an internship during the day, although it is fairly flexible and I am able to step away as needed to let your dog(s) out. Making sure your pets get needed attention won’t be an issue for me! I only care for pets in the owners home, that way your fur baby stays where they are familiar and comfortable. I am very clean and tidy and will ensure that I clean up after myself while staying with your pet.
About: I've always had at least 2 dogs in the house and have been relied on to take care of them, including feeding, walking, bathing, and just playing with🐾 I'm currently a high school student, so I can work late afternoons on any of my available weekdays, and I am available any time on weekends. I will make sure to provide trusted, loving care for your pets in your home, keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own environment
“Nicole is wonderful and very reliable. I will definitely request her to help with my pets again and would not hesitate recommending her to anyone in the future. Very happy she was able to help.”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats of all ages since the age of nine. My son is 13 and a very big cat lover! He will not be assisting with pet care, but does reside in the home. We have two cats Everest(8) and Harley(5), and one dog Layla(1). Our home features two large automatic litter boxes, one 5ft scratching post with other small ones throughout the home, enrichment toys, beds, pet blankets, and two filtered water fountains available 24 hours a day. Both cats are on feeding schedules, so your baby will also need to be on a schedule- we can discuss what times work best for your pet! Layla is crate trained and does not free roam without supervision. We also have a spare bedroom for pets that need some time to adjust or need more space away from all the uncertainties of a new home. We will treat your baby like our own and accommodate, so they can feel at ease! *Currently taking the month of September off from my primary job, so will be entirely available for bookings through Rover. I work 4-5 days a week, 5-6 hour days. My schedule can be altered as needed because my pets are just as important as any other family member. My pets are very well cared for and prioritized just as any living being should be. They are treated with kindness and care with regular checkups and special care catered to their individual personalities.
About: I am my neighborhood's resident dog lover and have known every dog in the neighborhood by name since I can remember! In 2020, I finally got my own two dogs, Teddy and Lily, and started house sitting and dog walking for other dogs in the neighborhood. I have never loved anyone more than my dogs, and I feel the same way about all of the other dogs I care for. I would be delighted to give your dog my full love and attention when you are away! I have a very flexible work from home schedule, so your dog would be my first priority! I rarely leave the house when I am dog sitting. I am experienced with walking dogs both on leash and off leash, depending on the needs of the dog and the environment. I am used to spending virtually all day at my clients' homes and only leave for very short periods of time.

About: My name is Ashe and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I have grown up with and trained dogs and cats of my own my whole life. Additionally, I have experience with handling multiple dogs of various breeds, ages, and temperaments; as well as cats, reptiles, fish, small animals, and even a few exotic animals through my time spent working at PetSmart for the past three years, and with helping care for animals of loved ones. I am affordable and also have a reliable car, so can make sure I am there to feed, water, walk, cuddle, and love on your pets whenever they need me. Additionally, I can administer oral medication if your pet needs it, give your pet a bath and brush, and transportation to vet, grooming, or any other appointments. I am energetic, self-motivated, and eager to care for whatever animals might come my way. I look forward to hearing from you! I currently work 7:45-5:30 Monday through Thursday with a lunch break, and 7:45 to 1 on the first two Fridays of the month (off the 2nd two Fridays), with weekends off. I am able to take care of your babies before work, visit them on my lunch break, and spend the evening with them as well as the full weekends. I make sure they always have fresh water and food available, get whatever walks or playtime they need (indoor or outdoor), and give lots of snuggles and love to them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Virginia Beach
Ken and Joy were very professional and provided great care for our two dogs. Communication between us was fantastic. They let us know when they were coming and gave us a good account of how the dogs reacted to them. One of our dogs is a little afraid of strangers and did not want to interact with them, but they did not give up. I highly recommend them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Virginia Beach is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,987 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Virginia Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Virginia Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Virginia Beach with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
