About: I’ve always had a special love for dogs and truly enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and affectionate. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of attention! 🐶🤍 I am currently working from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pets. I’m able to provide lots of attention, and companionship throughout the day. Your pup will never feel alone. I live in a comfortable, pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of outdoor space for walks and a dog park in the community. I can provide frequent walks, potty breaks throughout the day.
“Lisa was really good. She was able to accommodate my pet on a short notice and everything went smoothly. She took care of my pet well and he came back home happily. Would definitely recommend her to others..”
About: About Me Hi, I’m Lisa! With 40+ years of hands-on experience raising dogs and cats, pet care is my lifelong passion. My goal is to give you total peace of mind. I am highly adaptive and comfortable with all sizes and breeds—whether they need high-energy exercise or gentle, quiet companionship. *Senior & Medical Care Specialists I specialize in senior pets, finicky cats, and medical rehabilitation. I lovingly cared for my own cat, Meeze, for 18 years. I helped rehabilitate my sister's mid-sized dog after spine surgery. I am completely confident in administering pill medications and managing strict health routines. This expertise comes from personal, daily experience managing heart disease for my own 8-year-old Bochi mix, Stella (pictured). I bring that same vigilance, patience, and love to your pet. Safety & My Home Environment • Location: I live in a highly secure, spacious 3-bedroom apartment just three blocks from the oceanfront. • Boarding: Your pet will only interact with me, my husband Mark, and our sweet dog Stella. • Drop-ins & Walks: All external services (walks, feedings, potty breaks) are handled exclusively by me. • Requirements: For safety, I only accept pets that are non-aggressive toward people and manageable on a leash around other animals. What I Guarantee: • Reliable communication with frequent photo and text updates. • Strict adherence to your exact feeding, medication, and exercise schedules. • A calm, confident presence that helps anxious or recovering pets feel safe. Let’s Connect! Message me here on Rover to share your pet's routine. We can quickly schedule a phone call or a Meet & Greet to ensure a perfect match! I currently work part-time remotely at home so my schedule is flexible and reliable. I am an avid walker, health, and fitness achiever. I can walk or help out with playtime, or whatever your need for your pet may be. The complex I live in has a park directly across the street along with a fenced in dog park and plenty of green space for walks/playtime. My apartment is safe and highly secured with security key and secured garage parking.
“Monika is the best! I’d never used Rover before and needed a monthly sitter for my puppy ASAP. Monika took great care of Luna, sent lots of pictures & updates, and sent Luna home happy and tired. I cannot recommend her more!”
“Wendy was very communicative and flexible when I needed to adjust drop off time to ~15 min earlier. She took Risotto on 3 walks so he was nice and tired when we picked him up. Her home is conveniently located and her neighbors also have dogs. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
“Shyann took great care of Pancho. I was visiting the area with my dog and she was available and flexible. I would definitely book her again when visiting the area.”
“Dustin was an excellent Rover. He was extremely flexible, professional, and even provided some training and guidance for Turbo! We definitely recommend him as a Rover.”
“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.”
“Katja and her family took excellent care of my sweet one. Katja is very responsive, diligent and caring, providing equal loving care and attention as she does to her own pets.”
“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!”
“Cynthia was amazing! She responded very quick to my request and was very responsive when I messaged her. I’ll definitely continue to use to I have her watch my Chloe. Thank you Cynthia 😊”
“Cameron is a very thoughtful and conscientious dog sitter. My dog was all stressed out from a move across several states and he would not eat for two days. After just a few hours with Cameron, he was happily playing and ate his entire bowl of food. I was really impressed and so grateful.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience! Nichole was able to accommodate my senior Chihuahua at the last minute for a few hours while my family and I was on vacations and headed to the beach. She took great care of her. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had many dogs since I was a child and have experienced many differing personalities and needs among dogs. We have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room for play and two pups who are ready to make new friends! I work from home full time so I am able to interact with the dogs during the day and make sure they get all the attention they need. Prefer a dog visit prior to sitting to ensure compatibility with our dogs. Our dogs are kind and playful, but can sometimes be protective of the home so visits ahead of time help greatly to ensure compatibility. I have an acre-large, fenced-in yard that provides plenty of space for dogs to run around and play. We have tennis balls and toys that we throw for them so the dogs can have a fun experience. We also have 1x crate in the event your dog is still a puppy or prefers an enclosed space overnight. For first time visits, we will introduce the dogs through our backyard to make sure all dogs have space and time to adjust to each other.

Booked on short notice when I found the zoo wouldn't allow dogs and the campground wouldn't let us leave her on the cabin I had rented. Marjorie and her family kept my pup happy with lots of play! Will definitely have her sit our pets in the future if we're back in the area!

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .

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 .
