House Sitting in York River Farms

“Kathryn was great! She watched Rugby, Axle, Sofie, and Gracie in our home and took really good care of them. She sent us lots of photos and the dogs were happy and well-loved when we got back. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 10 years now. I own 3 dogs myself and take care of them everyday. I have also worked at an overnight boarding place for animals, volunteered at animal shelters, fed many pets, walked many dogs, and I hope to continue bettering animals. I am currently working a part-time job however, i am available after 5pm on Tuesday’s, Wednesday's, and Friday’s. I am unavailable Mondays & Thursday’s. I am fully available on weekends! I will make sure your pets have everything they need whether that’s attention, belly rubs, extra potty breaks, long walks, or even a cuddle buddy

“Just completed our second booking with Ehlaura and have another one already scheduled. She is amazing with our boys and she keeps us up to date throughout our time away. Highly recommend!”

About: I am the middle child of a fur baby parent who has fostered a many dog breeds of all shapes and sizes over the course of my childhood (Chihuahuas, Yorkie Poodle, Golden Retrievers, Labs, Pit Bulls, Shepherds, etc.) with my first pupper being a rescue at the age of 10. With this, I have experience administering medication and even feedings for the bottle fed pups safely and efficiently (given there are multiple doses during the visit). Also, I can provide light grooming services as requested- if there is a service I am not comfortable with, I will make it clear so pet parents can find the right fit for themselves, their babies! All dogs need love, even the 'hyper' ones! I have experience with handling all different kinds of personalities, from bundles of energy who love to talk to the content seniors that love to rest, so I have no qualms so long as they aren't biters- yikes! I am active and always on the move so taking long walks or multiple short ones, even rides to the dog park, if allowed, are the kind of adventures your doggo will have with me! I am punctual when it comes to following a time schedule and completing tasks before the end of day so the next sitting experience is ready for a fresh start! I have moved back to the Hampton Roads area from Iowa state this past November with ride share (Uber) and Spark being my job at the moment until I find something more stable; I make my own schedule. With this, there is plenty of time to fit your pet(s) into my day to day! Peace of mind for the pet parents and comfortability, safety for said pets are my top priority. I'm always on the lookout, keeping your pet in my line of sight and sheltered (within the home save for walks and outdoor play if granted). Following the guidelines given by parents, communicating throughout the day, not just in a case of emergency is important to me, plus it allows clients the security of knowing what takes place in their home while away.

“This was my first time hiring a dog sitter and I couldn’t be happier with Savanna. She was knowledgeable attentive and punctual. She showed a desire to get to know my dogs and cat and maintain their routine. I received photos and updates daily. I highly recommend her and plan on hiring her whenever I need a house/dog sitter in the future.”

“We’ve used Trenton for house sitting for our 3 dogs, and have been pleased both times! We’ll continue to book him when we need care for our kiddos. Great communication and our dogs were very well cared in their regular routine.”

“Micaela was amazing! She took lots of pictures and sent me an update of how the day went every evening. My dog had a great time! I’d love to have her watch Shadow the next time we go out of town”

About: I signed up to help others care for their pets because I use Rover as well. Having a trusted individual available to care for our furry friends is important. I provide excellent pet care service for others. I will inquire about your pet’s personality, special needs, likes and dislikes. I will professionally communicate with you, treat your pet with great care, and your property with respect if welcomed into your home. Thanks for considering my services, I look forward to hearing from you. Here to help. I am employed full time. Any assistance I would be able to provide would be early morning, late evening during the weekdays, and much greater flexibility on the weekend. I will care for your pets and be respectful to your home. For me that begins with good communication between you and me. Setting clear expectations between us and getting to know your pets as best as possible before the first visit.

“Ireland was amazing to work with! She was so great communicating, sending pics and updates through her stay. My pup absolutely loved being taken care of by her and was definitely sad when the trip ended. Definitely would book again!”

“Linda is my go-to dog and house sitter. When planning a trip, the first thing I do is try to get on her calendar! She always goes above and beyond when staying with Harley, and makes my being gone so easy and worry free.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was young girl. I also have worked as a Veterinary Technician on Langley Air Force Base. I enjoy pet sitting all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I am retired and involved in some weekly activities, so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of pet sitting, not to mention the joy of being around pets. I am attentive, detail oriented and versatile. I believe in leaving things the way I found them, or better. I always strife to do my best at whatever I do, and I am a very trustworthy person.

“Ruka and Dexter love Sarai!! Flexible, great communicator and fantastic with the puppers.”

Terri S.

“Jennerifer was 20/10. We were struggling to find someone who would stay at our house and hang out with our kids. From the moment we met Jennifer she was so kind, professional, organized, and clearly loved animals. Her communication was phenomenal from the meet and greet to the moment we came home. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. We will 1,000% be asking her to come back in the future!”

About: I have owned many dogs/cats/ducks/horses. I have been relied on by many family members and friends to check in their furry friends. I can do anything that needs to be done including washing, walking, feeding, or just playing. Please reach out to me! I am currently working as an Amazon driver with a flexible schedule. I am also willing to check in on your fur baby around my weekly schedule. I will keep up with trash, cleaning litter boxes, and changing puppy pads like the house is my own. And of course always keep the water jug full.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle older dogs, such as my own. I tailor my approach to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and attention to detail—I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. I have experience with basic training reinforcement, senior pet care (including administering oral medications), and making nervous animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, structured playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I care for every pet like they’re my own. Also for full disclosure up front, I do work two jobs during the summer. I am a part time math tutor and I also work at Costco. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. With no classes or school obligations right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits—whatever fits your pet’s routine best. I love spending my summer surrounded by animals, and I’m fully committed to giving each pet the time and attention that they need. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all owner instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medication dosages—to ensure consistency and well-being. I always secure doors, windows, and any potential hazards to create a safe environment. As for staying in my home, I unfortunately cannot have other pets coming and staying with me, due to the amount of allergies in my household and my older dog that is living with me

“Recommended! Qasheedra stayed at our home and took care of our 4 pets while we were away for a week, and we had a great experience… excellent communication and was able to handle our pets’ various idiosyncrasies from picky eaters to storm anxiety and was even able to accommodate an additional day for us to extend our trip. We came back to a clean home and happy & content pets :)”

“I am always worried when I leave my pets to go on vacation but Nicole kept us updated with pictures on a daily basis and everyone was healthy and happy to see us when we got home. The house was also neat and clean. Thanks, Nicole! I will definitely contact you for future trips!”
