“Merle had a great time! Nicole was pleasant, responded quickly, sent updates/pictures + when I needed to extend my stay last minute she was accommodating and allowed Merle to stay 2 extra days! Every time I visit VA Beach I will try to book a stay with her. :)”
“I had a wonderful experience with Jordan. She worked with me on drop off/pick up times and she worked with my stand-offish, senior chihuahua. I really appreciate the time and care she took with my pup.”
“Dustin was great! The communication from start to finish was a great experience. A big yard for running and playing was a plus, and we were so happy to know Dustin is experienced with dogs. We literally had no worries while we were away. Hank had a blast and made so many new dog friends. He is one happy (and tired) pup! Thanks Dustin!”
“Lisa was the most accommodating and embracing of Ziggy as an additional member of her family. She went over and above to ensure both Ziggy and me were comfortable and provided pictures during his stay.”
“Cherry and Jackie were really great with Ace and their two dogs peanut and teddy were a great energy for Ace. They would send me lots of photos and videos of Ace and was appreciative of the communication they provided. Very nice and loving with Ace, will be booking with them again ! 😁”
“Julie did a fantastic job taking care of my older dog Brice! She was very responsive and sent frequent updates letting me know how he was doing during his stay. I can tell Brice had a great time :) he came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Julie for your pet sitting needs!”
“Cynthia and her family are THE BEST!!! We are from out of town and had a hiccup just days before the start of our Virginia Beach vacation when our local sitter became unavailable to watch our two pups. I was in a bit of a panic, with only a few days left to secure arrangements. I was so fortunate to find and connect with Cynthia! Because we live several hours away, we could not do a prior meet-and-greet, which initially made me a bit nervous. However, we were able to chat on the phone before confirming the reservation, and any worries I had quickly disappeared as Cynthia had a lot of knowledge and experience with dog care, routines, and special quirks. At drop-off, we met Cynthia's husband, who was also very welcoming. He reassured us that our pups would be in good hands. As I write this review, I can confidently say that they absolutely were in the best of hands! From the photos and updates we received, we could see our pups were happy, relaxed, and quickly bonding with the family. Thank you, Cynthia and family, for accepting a last-minute reservation, taking in our pups sight unseen, and giving them such a loving and safe home away from home!!!”
“Hailey did great for my pup Ivy! She had a good time playing with her kids. Hailey was great about keeping me updated and sending me pictures and videos of Ivy. I will rebook in the future and recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter.”
“Reiniza took great care of our high energy chocolate lab. I got great pics of our dog walking the beach and living his best life. She kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay and was very flexible with pick up/drop off times. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and it was a wonderful experience! My dog is 12 years old and blind, so at first I was anxious about leaving her under someone else’s care. Jiyali made me feel very comfortable with her listed experience and asking the right questions before dropping her off to make sure she would be comfortable and happy during her stay. She sent frequent updates, and in every photo and video my dog looked so happy to be there! The process was very convenient, and both me and my dog were comfortable with the care she provided and will definitely request her again. I’m grateful to have found someone that could ease my anxiety and make the experience wonderful. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Sravan and his fiancé were absolutely incredible with our anxious little guy! From the minute we dropped Yogi off they made him feel comfortable and loved. They kept us updated with lots of photos and messages which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They even cooked special treat for him! It was obvious they truly love and care about animals. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and I truly think Yogi had an amazing time with them. I would seriously recommend them to anyone visiting Virginia Beach and looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pet. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our boy! ❤️🐾”

Took awesome care of my 2 babies. I could tell she's very experienced with dogs. My pups can get overly excited when meeting new people, which I worry about that because of their size (two 90+lbs bully breed). She was able to get them to settle down and listen quickly. Definitely will be booking again.
We had a great experience with Marjorie watching our Shiba Inu for 2 nights. She gave us updates and pictures throughout the stay which put our minds at ease while we were away. Our dog seemed like she was having a great time playing with her kids. We would definitely consider booking with her again and would recommend her to others!
Nyah is very sweet. She was accommodating to a last minute, same day request with a drop off within 2 hours. Amazing right! What a blessing We had an extremely important event the following day and our original pet plan didn’t work out Nyah opened her home and allowed 2 night boarding for our kitty Being on vacation and unfamiliar with the areas pet care Rover was my only option. This was our first time using Rover, Thankfully the site provides quality sitters like Nyah who have availability to get you out of a pinch It didn’t hurt that Nyah has a cat of her own We were excited that Coda could spend some time with a fellow feline:) She communicated well and sent updates and pics daily. I recommend this home for your pet baby needs and would use Nyah as a sitter again.
This was Billy’s very first time being boarded, and Chelsea made the entire experience so easy and stress-free for us. From the moment we met her, she went above and beyond to make sure Billy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were enjoying our vacation in Virginia Beach. It was obvious that she truly cared about Billy as if he were her own. Chelsea was always available to answer our questions, incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely passionate about what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pet, I cannot recommend Chelsea enough. Billy came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Chelsea, for taking such amazing care of our sweet pitbull!
I could not recommend Taylor enough. I have a high energy, very large puppy. I’m also in the process of training my dog and Taylor was so willing to continue all of my training and work with Racer while he was watching him. He also sent TONS of updates and pictures. There was not a single moment that I was worried about Racer. I had 100% confidence that Racer was on the best hands possible and I would recommend Taylor to any pet parent out there.
Alex was wonderful! She accommodated us within an hour of booking after we realized our hotel wasn’t pet‑friendly. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which really eased our nerves since it was our first time boarding our dog. She made the whole experience comfortable and stress‑free. Thank you Alex!
Jessica is amazing. She watched our rescue beagle who can be very anxious. Jessica was very patient accommodating and kept us very informed about Malias days and nights. She sent us tons of pics so we could see our girl was doing great with her. Highly recommend Jessica and hope to use her in the future.

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 .
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
