About: Hi, I’m Kelly! I have 3 animals myself, 3 (very needy!) cats. I had a dog who’s recently passed, and I love all animals! I am experienced in old and young pets alike. My cat is 14 and requires daily medication which I have no problem with. Huge fan of the kittens and puppies as well!😊 Any and all pets I am happy to watch. I currently work hybrid, I recently graduated college and I am in a rotational tech program. The days I am hybrid vary, but for the most part I work from home in Bel Air Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On the weekends I am completely free! Animals in my home won’t be possible because of all my pets, but in your home I am able to watch them! I can drive anywhere from 1 mile to 30 miles to watch your furry friend! Let me know the location and we can figure something out :)
“Pamela is such an incredible dog sitter & walker! We have two Siberian Huskies and she is always very attentive to their needs, loves them as if they were her own, and cares for them immensely. We always know when we book a visit with Pamela not only are our babies in good hands, but they also get super excited to spend time with her as well! Highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Heidi was amazing with King!! She was very attentive, always on time, and was great with communicating and sending pictures of King. We will definitely be looking to use Heidi again!”
“Emil has been a huge help and great for our dog Bailey. I could tell her was a dog lover right when he met Bailey. He is punctual, active with Bailey and leaves a note to provide an update on the drop in. He has been very patient with our puppy Bailey and tries to take her for a walk to encourage her.”
About: I'm located off interstate 95 making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work.

I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.

This was our second time having Stephanie drop in to care for our dog over the past year, and we truly couldn't recommend her enough! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos of our boy, which made it so much easier to enjoy our time away without worrying. We always knew he was in great hands. 10/10 experience! Thank you so much again, Stephanie!
Janis did an amazing job watching our dog while we were away at our wedding! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands during such an important weekend. She was reliable, caring, and clearly treated our dog like her own. We came home to a happy dog and couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Janis to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Emil has been a huge help and great for our dog Bailey. I could tell her was a dog lover right when he met Bailey. He is punctual, active with Bailey and leaves a note to provide an update on the drop in. He has been very patient with our puppy Bailey and tries to take her for a walk to encourage her.
The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!
Travis was very accommodating to my schedule and came out to my apartment several times to meet my dogs/pick up a key fob I had made. He provided detailed updates with photos and my animals loved him. My apartment was left in perfect condition and my dogs well cared for. Would absolutely recommend!
Shannon did an amazing job taking care of my pup Nala. It was my first time leaving my pup and I was so nervous. But after our meet and greet, I knew Nala was in good hands. Shannon communicated well and sent the cutest pics of my pup daily which put me at ease. I will definitely be hiring Shannon in the future!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Abingdon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Abingdon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
