“Sara was great with our dogs and we felt very comfortable having her watch them. We loved receiving photos of the dogs and knowing they were safe and happy! We would definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
About: As an animal lover, I’m passionate about helping families provide their fur babies with everything they need! I have extensive experience in animal care. During high school and college, I provided dog-sitting services for family and friends. I also worked at a boarding facility, caring for a variety of dogs and cats. Additionally, I spent over eight years working at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with animal behavior, medical needs, and general care. I’ve attended multiple training sessions to enhance my knowledge, particularly in addressing behavioral challenges and specialized care. I’ve worked with animals of all temperaments, including dogs with stranger or dog-related reactivity, as well as those curious hounds who love to stop and sniff everything! I’m confident handling strong breeds, as well as senior pets that may need extra assistance. I’m also comfortable administering medications and working with dogs and cats with behavioral or medical issues. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize providing consistent, quality care to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and well taken care of. walks or playtime, I maintain their pet’s established routines as much as possible to minimize stress. I follow feeding schedules, exercise plans, and any specific instructions provided. I keep the space clean, respect the home, and ensure the pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. Communication is also key—I keep clients updated with pictures or messages so they can feel at ease while I care for their beloved pet.
“We were first time users of Rover and Victoria’s pet sitting services and will be using them again as soon as we schedule our next trip. Our dogs were well cared for and happy.”
“Time and time again we've been so blessed in every way to have Anna take care of our kitties, Mermaid and Medusa!!!

Anna, the grace, kindness, thorough care, safety, and love you have given to all four of us has enriched all of our lives in the most beautiful ways!!! You have given Ronnie and I so much peace of mind when we go away from home, and I have been able to travel quite far from home and fly without worrying about a thing!!!! From every thoughtful personal touch to ensuring big ticket things are taken care of (like meds, food, attention to the babies, litter, AND SO MUCH MORE), anyone can rest easily knowing their babies are in your care. Mermaid and Medusa LOVE YOU SO FREAKING MUCH ANNA!!!!!!!! THANK YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!!!!!!!”
“Trevor did an amazing job in taking care of my pup, making sure she had plenty of clean water and food everyday while we were away. He made sure to lock up every time he left ensuring our pup was secure in the yard. He also was kind enough to bring in our packages while away. We will definitely be using his services in the future. Thank you Trevor !”
“It was a wonderful experience to be relaxed and able to enjoy my weekend trip to visit family. I’m usually a nervous wreck leaving my Maxx. Jeanne did an amazing job! Thanks for everything!!! I will use again and refer to others”
“Ally has been incredible this week! She let out my puppy this week at lunchtime for a play/potty break. She gave a detailed report after each visit, asking clarifying questions if needed, and following all the instructions I left with her. She loved on my puppy while offering him redirection when needed. She is an animal lover - the pictures I got back of my puppy (and cats!) reflected that. I’m so glad I found her!”
“Tiffany did a great job loving on our babies and running them outside in the backyard during the day! Even when it was windy and cold!! The dogs loved it! Will definitely reach out to her for future needs!”
“You will absolutely love having Angie care for your fur family!! She is incredibly considerate, timely, professional and so warm and caring!! We will absolutely work with her again, highly recommend her services. :))”
“Whitney has been so helpful with my Georgie boy! She has been coming by to let him out and spend time with him on my longer workdays. Whitney is reliable, communicative, trustworthy and always sends updates. I feel reassured knowing that she will take such good care of Georgie. When I check my camera after she leaves, he is always content and ready for a nap.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals, specifically family pets, since I was a young girl! I currently have a kitten of my own named Astra. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. My patience runs deep with shy or nervous pets. However, I do thoroughly enjoy playing with both cats and dogs! If they need to cuddle, go on walks, or just need a little attention, count me in! My experience as a teacher makes me responsible, dependable, and very attentive to routines and instructions. With me, I hope you can feel confident that your pet will be genuinely cared for while you’re away! I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I can also accommodate some weekday evenings depending on the location and my work schedule. On weekends, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, litter boxes, routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet has a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“We are so grateful to have had Haley as a sitter for our puppy Jax. She is so attentive, always on time, and just a bundle of joy. Jax loves when she comes around and always has a good time. Thank you so much!”
About: I grew up in a family that owns a dog grooming business, so being around animals has always been second nature to me. I have experience caring for all types of pets—not just dogs, but also farm animals like goats, donkeys, and chickens. I offer dependable dog walking and pet sitting, and I always keep owners updated with messages and plenty of pictures. I’m a teacher with a flexible schedule, making weekends, summers, after-work visits, and overnight stays easy for me. This allows me to spend quality time with your pets and stick to their routines. I have dogs of my own, so I provide pet sitting exclusively in my clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their own space. I have experience with crating, administering medications, following special care instructions, and maintaining daily routines. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments.
“I can't recommend Morgan enough! She took amazing care of my 2 dogs while I was away and followed every instruction perfectly. She made sure they got plenty of attention and even played fetch with my golden during every visit, which she absolutely loved. After it rained and the dogs tracked mud through the house, she even went above and beyond by mopping my floors without being asked. It's clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and takes pride in doing a good job. I felt completely at ease 200 miles away knowing they were in such great hands, and I'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs both big and small/young and old, I’ll always send you updates on your pets to let you know how our walk went without being asked, and I’ll treat your babies as if they were my own. I work an office job Monday to Friday from 8-4. I am free for walks in late afternoons/evenings during the weekdays, and have full availability on the weekend. I have two cats and they are very spoiled. I ensure that they always have fresh water, daily. I make sure they are given good food. And I play and cuddle with them all the time.
About: I grew up around dogs and animals, as we always had dogs at both of my homes. Being around animals from a young age made me comfortable caring for them and taught me how much patience, responsibility, and attention they require. I’ve also had plenty of experience caring for other people’s pets and children. I’ve babysat for families during date nights, helped parents who needed someone to watch their children and animals, and regularly took dogs on walks and made sure they received the care and attention they needed. One of my biggest experiences was regularly caring for a family’s two dogs and two cats while they were away on vacation. I was responsible for making sure all four pets were fed, cared for, and comfortable while their family was gone. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, caring, and comfortable taking on the responsibility that comes with caring for both pets and children. For the most part at the moment I am just doing side jobs until I move in January, but other than that I typically have all day to fit your animals into my schedule!! I will follow all rules set by owners and I will treat your animal with love and like it is my own! I will make sure your dog gets plenty of playing time, plenty of pets (if that’s what they like!), I will make sure they are fed and cared for the way you intend!

Katelyn is fantastic!! She has been so kind, patient, and caring with my nervous older kitty. Her notes about visits are so detailed and she consistently goes above and beyond in her care. It really puts my mind at ease to know she is taking such good care of my kitty while i’m away. I cannot recommend her enough!
Mackenzie is so amazing, and I can not say enough how happy I am that I found her! She took care of my dogs so well, dropping in at exactly the right times, taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving them the attention they needed while we were away! She also sent plenty of cute photos of my dogs and what they were doing through the weekend! Trustworthy, kind, sweet, and punctual, and I can't recommend her enough! A million thanks to Mackenzie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Albemarle Acres is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,177 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Albemarle Acres. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
