“This was our first time using Rover and Laurelyn was amazing! She gave us peace of mind watching our elderly dog while we were gone for a week. She administered his medicine, helped him get up steps, sent lots of pictures with great feedback after every visit. Her communication is excellent! We will be using her again and sharing her info with our friends! Thank you so much Laurelyn!”


“Janie was awesome! My cat is very vocal and loud so she needs someone who appreciates those attributes. Janine exceeded our expectations and took such good care of our demanding girl! 😺 We will definitely use her again!”


“Fast response and very thorough! I feel so relieved after Ashley checked in on my sweet boy! From the pictures I can tell he was so happy to have some company and she did everything I asked!”


“Ashley did an awesome job taking care of Shadow. Friendly and fun and willing to play to keep my dogs mind active during her time with him. Overall very responsive and respectful.”


“I used to board my cat when on vacation but decided to try a pet sitter. I found Bobbi through Rover and have been very happy with the results. She checked in every day, twice a day with reports and pics. It felt so much better than knowing my cat was sitting in a crate with limited time out at the kennel. I definitely recommend Rover and Bobbi and I will confidently use their services again in the future.”


“Brittany is just the best! We are so happy to have met her! Knowing the pups are in such good hands means we don’t have to worry about making plans without them. And they love her too!”


“Megan is absolutely fabulous! She sends detailed updates and the best pictures. My Darcy looks so happy and excited to be out and about in every single check in! She is attentive and her love for pets is obvious through the care she provides! Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Tea is such a fantastic and responsible care taker! This was our first time using rover and I’ve already booked Tea for the next 2 weekends! She is extremely responsive and made us feel at ease. Being a pet owner herself, she understand animal behavior and quickly bonded with our cat. Thanks Tea!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and a variety of pets ever since I was a child. I have taken care of pets in a variety of ages, such as senior dogs as well as puppies and kittens. I have a very flexible schedule and am available most of the day, though, when classes start I may not be able to do as much in the mornings. I have taken care of dogs that don’t have a backyard and have to be taken on walks, as well as taken care of dogs in homes with a backyard.

“Annika is an angel, and I can't express that enough! Having a new puppy while my husband is away can be a little stressful when I'm working, but Annika saves the day. She cared for my puppy, Stark, with so much love - even my other animals got love and cuddles too even though she didn't need to! She genuinely cares about your babies. She sends lots of pictures and a thorough report card at the end of each stay. I trust her so much! She also left me a sweet note and some treats for my furbabies. She's now my go-to.”


“Elnaz was so great doing drop ins on our dogs, Sox and Pickles. Our Great Dane loved her. Thanks for everything. Very great at communicating and always sends pictures.”



“Megan was awesome. I wish we could give her 10/5 stars. She made being away from our babies very easy and stress free. Megan will be the only person we will be using from now on when we leave town.”


About: I've been around dogs of various sizes and breeds my whole life! I've raised two puppies on my own- one is currently still with me, so she would provide company to your furry friends! My dog, Molly, is 4 years-old and loves the company of other dogs! She is very warm and welcoming of new animals, for she is a sweetheart. I can provide lots of love and cuddles as well! When we are not taking walks around the neighborhood, we will definitely be cuddled up watching movies! I am a service member, but currently I have normal working hours. Rest assured knowing that your furry four-legged friends will get the adequate (plus some of course!) of time and care necessary. I can provide oral medication if it at all necessary as well. Molly and I hope to see you very soon! I have normal working hours Monday-Friday, so any time after a typical work day and on weekends I will be able to help take care of your pet(s)! I live in a townhome style apartment! There is a small dog park in our complex and plenty of room to walk. I am also able to take the dogs to a bigger dog park to let out more energy. They will have plenty of room to roam and relax throughout the house!

About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 10 — from playful puppies and senior dogs to shy cats, birds, and even rabbits. I’ve helped with everything from daily walks, feeding, and bathing to administering medications, crate training, and giving extra love to pets with separation anxiety. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me with their furry (and feathered!) companions. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, joy, and a whole lot of tail wags I currently work two part-time jobs, but I have plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m fully available all day on Tuesdays. On Wednesdays and Fridays, I’m free before 12pm and after 8pm. I’m flexible throughout the week and can adjust my schedule — including changing shifts if needed — to match your pet care needs Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I don’t have any other pets, so your furry friend will get my full attention in a peaceful, private environment. My home includes a clean, quiet room dedicated to their comfort and rest. I follow every instruction carefully, and I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality. I aim to create a space where pets not only feel safe — but truly loved and at home.

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.
