“Finding a good sitter who meets the needs of our dog has been hard, but Chelsea checks ALL of the boxes. She communicated with us every day and often sent pictures. I was able to truly relax on our vacation knowing our pup was in good hands. Thank you, Chelsea, and we will definitely book with you again for our future travels.”
“Exceptional dogsittters with a large backyard perfect for dogs. Reliable, caring, and attentive to my dog's needs. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch pet care.”
“Nicole is fabulous! We found the absolute best person to care for our fur baby!!! We never worry when he’s with her because we know she loves him as much as we do!! The feeling is definitely mutual!!! ❤️🐾❤️”
“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!!!”
“Priscilla was absolutely amazing with my dog biggie! She had amazing communication, as well as pet handling. You can tell she really has a love for pets by the way she treats them. I 1000% recommend booking with Priscilla and I will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Wendy was so great!!! I felt 100% comfy leaving my Ellie boo with her. She sent me sweet cuddling pictures while we were away and took the best care of our girl. She was loved on like family, no doubt about that. EXTRA thankful for her help getting in/out at pickup while I was SOLO in the weather🤣 the sweetest human. We will def be using Wendy in the future. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Linda is great. I have used her twice and she does an amazing job caring for my two dogs. She has become my permanent sitter on Rover and I plan to always use her in the future if she is available. Highly recommend.”
About: Had a dog growing up; cat for 6 years of my adult life Got into pet sitting for a family with 2 dogs, 3 cats — really enjoyed being active with their dogs and spending time with their pets when needed. I work full time from roughly 8:30-5:00pm I work remote at my home 2-3x a week My hobbies include being active running/walking; so what a perfect way to also spend time with animals as well. Love to travel so schedule can vary. Fenced yard with outdoor grass area. I live near the oceanfront, so I love to be active and walk around my neighborhood and or boardwalk.
“MaryKathryn and Sebastian were an amazing choice for taking care of my baby! As soon as he walked inside he felt at home. They were also super flexible when I needed to change my pick up time! Thank you!”
“Excellent service! Bane was very happy and they didn’t even complain because he tends to be oily and smelly(bulldog) no matter how many bathes he gets. We will definitely trust them again!”
“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”
“I cannot recommend Nina enough! From the moment I left my dog in her care, I felt completely at ease. She provided regular updates, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure I always knew how my pups were doing. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Emmy had a fantastic stay with Dalton and his family! Dalton was very detailed and asked plenty of questions prior to the stay to make sure he knew how to take care of Emmy and there wasn’t anything he was missing. I had complete trust that Emmy was in good hands and I would rebook in a heartbeat.”
“Beka was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Wish I could rate 10 stars! Sent regular updates and kept us updated the whole time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO WATCH YOUR FUR BABY!! I WOULD REBOOK WITH BEKA!!!”
“Lisa was amazing! She took such great care of our dog Abby while we were away. Abby came home happy, well cared for, and even clean, it seemed like Lisa even gave her a bath while she had her! She was incredibly accommodating, especially when our flight was unexpectedly canceled due to weather. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Abby was in good hands. Highly recommend Lisa!”
“Wowww! Hannah took such great care of our pups. She spoiled them with beach walks, fetch, and salmon skin (which she got our permission for in advance). She was super communicative and we felt confident they were safe and loved the whole trip. Thanks, Hannah! 🫶🫶🐶🐶🦴🦴🐾🐾”
“Cyntra and her family were very friendly and accommodating. Cyntra did a great job giving updates on our little bean and sent us pictures which helped out me at ease. We'll be happy to book services with her again.”

“My pups came home totally exhausted, they must have had a blast!! Kari updated me during their whole stay with pictures which made leaving my pups so much easier. She was so responsive and quick to answer any time I messaged. I would definitely book with her again!”
Virginia Beach pet parents share their Rover experiences
Patty did an amazing job caring for Rusty while I was away. Since he was a stray, he can take a little time to warm up to new people, but Patty and her sons, Joey and Tommy, were all incredibly kind and patient with him. Rusty adjusted quickly and seemed very comfortable with them. He stayed for a week, and they gave him plenty of time to settle in while also spoiling him with treats, attention, and lots of love. Patty kept me updated with multiple messages and photos throughout his stay, which really helped put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Patty as a dog sitter and will absolutely use her again in the future!
Our dog was treated like she was part of their family. We received lots updates and pics of how she was doing. Lots of walks and love. When we picked her up to go home, our dog was happy and relaxed, not stressed out and exhausted; it was obvious she was well cared for.
Finding a good sitter who meets the needs of our dog has been hard, but Chelsea checks ALL of the boxes. She communicated with us every day and often sent pictures. I was able to truly relax on our vacation knowing our pup was in good hands. Thank you, Chelsea, and we will definitely book with you again for our future travels.
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.
