About: I have always lived with cats and dogs. The longest I have house sat for someone was 30 days when I watched their 2 large dogs and 1 small dog, which included me living at the home, letting them out multiple times a day, feeding breakfast and dinner, playtime, and snuggle time. I helped my grandma’s dog lose 10 lbs by jogging/walking and playing. I also have experience with rabbits, reptiles, fish, and birds. I’m open to working with senior pets who may need special treatment and care. I have a special place in my heart for animals who need extra attention. I am working full time 9 am - 5 pm Mon - Fri in Hampton, VA. I live in Smithfield. I have my own transportation. At the moment, I am offering to feed breakfast and dinner with potty breaks. If you need more frequent trips, house watching, or overnight stay, please message me and we can discuss it.

“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our dogs!!!”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up with family pets and caring for my own dogs over the years has given me a lifelong appreciation for the special bond we share with our animals. I've also responsibly cared for other people's pets, both during the day and overnight, including dogs, cats, and even birds! Although I don't currently have pets of my own, that's actually one of the reasons I'm excited to join Rover. I'd love the opportunity to give your pets extra love, attention, and companionship while you're away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I would treat yours with the same care, patience, and affection I'd want someone to give my own! I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule that doesn't follow a typical Monday–Friday, 9–5 routine. I'm happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their pets' needs and routines. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, house sitting, and overnight stays in your home. Whether your fur baby needs a midday visit, some extra playtime, or company while you're away, I'd love to help make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for! I understand that inviting someone to care for your pets and into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'll respect your home, carefully follow your pet's feeding schedule and care instructions, and make sure their routines are maintained as closely as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos during visits or stays so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are receiving attentive, loving care while you're away!

“Lacey took care of our two dogs for 12 days and kept us updated the whole time. She was great with both of them and even our nervous dog loved her!”

“Meredyth was awesome with our Bootsy! Took him on lots of adventures with her and her kids which was so nice to see. He had a great time! Would recommend :)”

“We had a wonderful experience with Emmanuel! He took exceptional care of our 4-month-old puppy while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. He followed his schedule closely, made sure he got plenty of playtime and exercise, and even continued working on his training and good habits. It was clear from the updates that our puppy was getting lots of attention, affection, and engagement throughout the stay. When we returned home, he was happy, healthy, well-cared for, and settled into his normal routine with no issues. We truly appreciated the level of care, professionalism, and dedication Emmanuel showed. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own and also regularly help care for cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, litter box care, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and always follow any special instructions you provide. As a healthcare professional, I’m also very detail-oriented and take safety and routines seriously. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My availability varies depending on my work schedule, but I keep my Rover calendar updated so pet parents always know when I’m available. I take your pet’s safety and comfort seriously and will always follow the routine and instructions you provide. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care instructions, and keeping pets secure in their environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for.

About: I am currently a dog mom to a 12 year old American bulldog mix breed. I do have to administer medicine for her torn ACL and I’m used to picking her up in her old age. When she was younger we would go on hikes and do all sorts of fun stuff! However she’s getting older and doesn’t get around the best lol. I’d love to be apart of your 4 legged fur babies life and offer you and your family the ultimate best care option.

My schedule is very flexible and this is all new to me so I’d love to connect about what works for you and your family! Charm my dog has a ramp into my bed and the living couch. We have a big spacious yard that is fenced in and she loves to sunbathe! I was raised to always shut the fence behind you! So you never have to worry about your little escape artist! We have a very sneaky Jack Russel going up an my brother never listened! I also have to give my dog daily joint vitamins and medicine for her ACL injuries. Short walks are best for her now but I miss a long hearty walk!

“Julia is amazing!! She spent a week at my apartment with my 9 year old dog Rory and it went really well! Julia sent daily pictures/videos and kept me updated on how things were going. I came home to a clean apartment and a very happy dog! She even kept my plant alive. If you’re looking for a pet sitter I strongly recommend Julia =)”

“5 Stars – Consistently Excellent Dog Sitter! This was the second time Tony has looked after our two Labrador Retrievers, and once again, he was fantastic! It’s such a comfort knowing our dogs are in caring, capable hands while we’re away. Tony clearly has a great rapport with our Labs—they were thrilled to see him again, which says everything. He kept up with their routines, gave them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and sent regular updates and photos that put our minds at ease. We also came home to a spotless house and two happy, relaxed dogs. Tony continues to go above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. He’s dependable, respectful, and treats our dogs like his own. We highly recommend Tony and will absolutely be booking him again! ⸻”

“Leila took such wonderful care of both my dog Matteo and my cat Diesel while I was away. Matteo immediately loved her, and she made sure he got plenty of attention and exercise. What really impressed me, though, was how she connected with Diesel. He’s extremely shy and almost never comes out when new people are around—but somehow Leila won him over! By the end of the visit, he was not only comfortable but eating right out of her hand. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing both of my pets were happy, safe, and cared for like family. Leila sent thoughtful updates and photos, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter. We feel lucky to have found her!”

About: My name is Kayela but you can call me Kaye. I am a nurse in Virginia Beach. But my real other passion is animals. A year prior to going into human medicine, I worked in the I veterinary field as a veterinary technician/assistant. I actually had plans to go to vet school, and then Covid hit; my pathway changed a little. But I don’t want that to stop me from making a difference in the animal world. I worked in the professional veterinary field for 5 years. I worked with all breeds, species, shapes, and colors of animals. I’ve worked with large animals, small animals, diseased and disabled animals. Therefore it would no reason for me not to accept your pet. I have animals of my own as well, 1 large breed dogs and 1 domestic short hair cat. I will love your animals like my own, cuddling included. I do have an extensive history of skills related to animal care as well. If you or your family have animals questions, concerns, or just curiosity in general about your animals well being, feel free to ask! I am starting to build a small clientele currently. I am open right now. Schedule could change. But just message me and we can work something out. I care for my animals more than the average person, due to the fact that I have worked in the animal medicine field. I believe a lot of issues/illnesses are preventable based on how you care for your pet. They are treated like humans in my opinion. They deserve the same attention, the same outdoor time, the same affection. They will be fed accordingly. I will also provide food recommendations as well as portion sizes based on my assessment. You can choose to follow my recommendations or continue to follow your own advice. I believe I can be very helpful with you and your care for your pets.
