“Jessica has been absolutely wonderful with our crew of five cats and dog. She is incredibly attentive, thorough, and clearly very experienced with animals. She handled everything with ease including giving meds to our cats with no issues at all. Jessica watched our cats over Christmas. She took excellent care of not only them but also our home, and her updates reassured us every step of the way. It was clear our pets were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We will absolutely be booking her again!”

About: Avid dog lover. I grew up surrounded by small dogs. I currently have 2 big dogs that love to play but they also do well with my parents small dogs when we visit. Willing to have your dogs come join the party at the house. We have a fence in yard. My husband and I are willing to do what it takes to make your pup more comfortable. Pets are family. Nothing worse than a bad dog sitter. Will send frequent pictures of your pups while you’re away and give them the perfect amount of cuddles, walks, and pets. Currently on maternity leave! I’m a teacher. My schedule is pretty flexible. My husband and I have different schedules so pets won’t be alone too long at our house. They will have plenty of bathroom breaks. I have 2 playful big dogs. They are good with all dogs and we’d love to have your pups come hangout with us! I’m a teacher but I have plenty of time to give your dog the appropriate care they need to feel comfortable during the week and weekend. I have a fence in yard and my pups are playful so they would have fun playing with your pups. We also walk them every evening.

About: I've watched pets of family and friends since I was a kid and always enjoyed it. I always make sure to spend plenty of time and give them as much attention as they want. For dogs, I did walks, gave bathroom breaks, play time, cleaned up accidents, and fed them. For cats I'll do the same, except walks. I am available everyday for the foresable future, on the bright side that leaves me with no commitments where I won't be able to watch your pets For my own cats, I fill the water and food bowls daily, as well as clean the litter boxes. Throughout the day I provide them with affection or a warm lap/bed. For dogs I will make sure they're completely safe outside and watch for any other dogs or cars. Inside I will do the same with my cats.

About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I have experience sitting for all types of animals. From cuddly Pyrenees, and scary-smart German pinschers, to spunky chinchillas, their best cat friends, and curious pythons. I have been through partial behavioral training for dogs (and their humans), and have experience with animal hospice situations, as well as behaviorally aggressive dogs. I prefer to keep the animal's care as consistent as possible. The more details you have of your preferred method of walking, reward, or preparation habits, the better. Trust and care are my number one goals when it comes to animal sitting. Not just with the four legged babies, but with the parents as well. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your care provider, and what a treat it is to know that you can trust someone with the care of your loved ones. Also, aren't dogs just perfect? I work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and am currently on telework, so my weekly availability is early morning, and late afternoon. I also volunteer at the Old Dominion Humaine Society and occasionally foster for them at my house. I have one <1 year old puppy, and I have a home with a large yard but no fence. That means all foster dogs get leash walked always and there are many mind teaser toys for rainy days. I feed in crates and make it a safe space for them to decompress.

About: Your Ideal Rover Sitter: Dependable, Trustworthy, and Animal-Loving! Hello, pet parents! I'm here to offer you peace of mind when life demands your attention away from your beloved fur family. Why choose me? Simply put, I embody dependability and trustworthiness. Rain or shine, I guarantee punctuality and readiness to ensure your pet's needs are met with enthusiasm and professionalism. With 8 years of dedicated experience in animal care, my passion for animals is not just a hobby but a way of life. I've been fortunate enough to work with a wide array of temperaments and breeds, gaining invaluable experience with challenges such as food aggression, dog aggression, high-prey drive, and both dog-averse and cat-adverse behaviors. My extensive volunteer work with local rescues and shelters has equipped me with deep insights into dog etiquette and behavior, ensuring that your pet is in knowledgeable hands. I'm not just a sitter; I'm a fellow pet lover who enjoys the company of animals in all shapes and sizes. I'm excited at the prospect of exploring local parks and forest trails with your fur babies, offering them the adventure and exercise they crave. My services include drop-ins and house-sitting, tailored to keep your pet's routine uninterrupted. Whether it's administering oral medication, catering to senior dogs or those with special needs, or ensuring your pet gets their daily dose of exercise, I'm equipped to provide a safe, secure, and loving environment. I pay meticulous attention to safety, from double leashing high-anxiety or flight-risk dogs to ensuring all exits are securely closed before and after outdoor activities. Living in a non-smoking household with a fenced yard, I can accommodate dogs of all sizes, offering them the freedom and security they deserve. My home is a haven for pets, where they're allowed on furniture and given frequent potty breaks, ensuring their comfort and happiness. Choose me as your Rover sitter, and let's embark on this journey together. Your pet will not only receive the care they need but will also experience enriching adventures that brighten their day. Let's make every moment count for your furry friend! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my routine, thanks to my flexible full-time job. During the weekdays, I can easily adjust my schedule to ensure pets in my care enjoy quick, refreshing breaks, maintaining their comfort and happiness. Come the weekend, my availability expands significantly. I'm fully dedicated on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, allowing for extended adventures, whether it's a leisurely park stroll or an exhilarating hike. This balance ensures that every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve, fitting perfectly within my daily and weekly schedule. In both my home and a client's, I prioritize creating a safe and trustworthy environment, leveraging my extensive experience in dog rescue and rehabilitation. For dogs with high anxiety or those considered flight risks, I employ double leashing to ensure their safety at all times. My meticulous approach extends to making sure all gates and doors are securely closed before any pet is released from their crate, and I always ensure a leash is securely fastened before we venture outside. This careful, experienced-based approach ensures that every pet under my care enjoys a secure, comfortable, and happy stay, whether they're with me or I'm with them.

About: I’ve had experience in pet sitting for minimum 10 years. Attention to detail and care for pets needs come first. Restrictions if any are considered as well. Morning, mid day, and evening walks are a must. As well as feeding, as frequent or less as needed. Pets will remain hydrated and have ample play time and relaxation time throughout the day. I offer a fenced yard with a seperate play area inside of home dedicated to pets. There will be ample space inside, or outside of home for pets to flourish and plenty of dog parks available if preferred.

About: Please ask to see my Trusted HouseSitter profile for additional reviews and information! I provide pet care in Richmond and Charlottesville and the surrounding areas, though I am also happy to travel to other states with advanced notice. I have a breadth of experience caring for my former pets and my home, as well as house and pet sitting for friends and for my clients. I grew up on a farm and cared for goats, horses, cows, dogs, cats, sheep, and poultry. I make an excellent house/petsitter due to my experience with and love for animals and my tidy and loving personality! ** I charge $45 / night for 1-6 night house stays, but have a sliding scale for longer sits (negotiable at the time of request). I am open to traveling farther distances for 1+ week sits. I am attending VCU for my MSW M-F from 8-4, so I have limited availability for midday potty breaks/check-ins during the week, but I have open availability most evenings and weekends. For boarding requests, my partner works from my home and is available to offer potty breaks/check-ins for pets while I’m at school. I’m happy with staying overnight for housesitting or sharing my home for boarding! I have the utmost care and respect for my clients pets and homes and treat them as if they were my own. I make sure to communicate expectations as best as possible to make sure we’re all on the same page.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Baylortown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,581 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Baylortown. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Baylortown. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
