About: I previously worked at a boarding facility where I gained two years of experience handling dogs and cats with differing behaviors, life stages, and needs. I have four dogs and one cat of my own, and I understand the guilt that can linger with leaving your pets at home all day and wishing you could give them an extra walk or play session, and I would love to help! I can administer medications, I have experience with senior dogs and cats, and if your pet is fearful I will be patient to earn their trust. I am very flexible with my availability, just let me know what kind of services you’re looking for and we can work something out! If you would like to schedule a meet and greet, please message me! I can’t wait to meet you and your babies. I am confident in my ability to safely manage your dogs during walks, and provide positive experiences for both dogs and cats during house visits!

About: I am willling to sit both large and small dogs. I have 3 cats that are friendly with dogs and mostly keep to themselves. If you want your dog walked or taken to the dog park please let me know. I am able to administer mediciation or topical creams if needed as well. I also have a child so any dog I sit will need to be ok with children. She is very good with animals and will not harass or hurt your pet as we maintain boundaries. Let me know what you need and we can work something out. I work from home so will be here all day unless I need to run errands. I am pretty flexible with my schedule if needed. I have a fenced in yard so there is plenty of room to run. When in my home pets are family so they are permitted on the couch and bed.

Lo did an amazing job. I needed someone last min and she took great care of my puppy ensuring that he was fed and got a walk when I found out I would be later than expected getting home. Can’t say enough great things about how wonderful she was to work with. Great job!!!!

Olivia was able to check in on and take care of my aging cat on relatively short notice, as well as add an extra day when I was delayed on my return trip.

About: Hello! I'm Mindy! I'm 51 years old and currently own 2 cats, Ash and Butter. I became a cat mom 6 years ago after I agreed to foster a rescued kitten. Ash was that kitten! :) All my life I have always owned dogs. Now they have all passed. I hope to get another soon. I love pets and mine are like my children. I have an 15 year old daughter who refers to our pets as her "brothers" or "sisters." I believe that when someone is away from their house, they shouldn't have to worry about the care of their pet. I will care for your dog(s) or cat(s) to the best of my ability and give you peace of mind that they will be well taken care of and loved! :) I offer walking services and drop in services. I am available any day. For more info. just ask. Thank you! Generally, I'm available all day and every day. I am able to walk/drop in up to 4 times a day.(Depending on how far you are from me.) I will walk them, play with them as well as feed and water them. I can administer meds with dogs. Other than putting meds in treats, I have no experience with administering meds to cats. I will do video calling with the owners if they choose.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Big Stone Gap

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 94 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Big Stone Gap. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Big Stone Gap stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

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.
