“Adriana was fantastic! We have two dogs, and one is still working through some fear of new people from her time before us. We had a long time sitter that recently moved away and we're very nervous about introducing someone new. Adriana took the time to come meet us and our dogs prior to the requested service and was very patient with both of our dogs. She spent the entire visit outside playing ball and letting our dogs run even on a cold, rainy day. We will be booking with her again!”


About: I have been caring for dogs and cats, puppies and kittens for many years. I have raised my own dog from early puppyhood to mature adulthood and her social but controlled behavior and level of training quickly caught the eye of other dog owners with young dogs. I had spent years researching dog and cat behavior, dog training, and everything related to dog breed history and care. This knowledge, along with my passion for animals, allowed me to offer services like dog training, walking, sitting, and drop-in visits with confidence and excitement even as a young teenager. This confidence and excitement along with my knowledge has only grown since then. I have experience with large breeds like Dobermans and Great Danes as well as smaller breeds like Cavaliers. Energetic breeds like Labradors and high-drive breeds like Coonhounds. When I provide you my services, its not just taking care of you and your pet(s) needs, its a reassuring peace of mind. It's a genuine relationship built on trust. Its a pleasant interaction between you and I and a lavish experience for your pet. It's knowing that I am not only making your pet's day but he/she is making mine as well. That's the difference between simply getting a job done and ensuring the care that's provided is at the next level. The level I'd want for my own sweet pets. I am currently in a season of life that allows me to be flexible and able to go the extra mile in providing the best service around! I just graduated high school and am taking a gap year. Even though I am working another job as well, now is a good opportunity to get involved in caring for your pet's various needs. I am a quick learner and am able to follow your instructions for how you prefer your pet to be cared for in your home. I can crate a dog if needed. I am able to fill your 30 minute time slot for drop-in visits with cuddles, playtime indoor and outdoor (whichever is preferred) and I understand that exercising your dog mentally is just as important as physically so I enjoy incorporating mentally stimulating factors into my visits. Training, finding treats, playing games etc.
“Abby was absolutely wonderful! I needed someone on very short notice, and she was quick to respond and able to help without hesitation. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire visit, sending updates and giving me peace of mind that my dogs were well cared for. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I would highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and caring Rover dog walker. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Karen is awesome! The dogs responded really well to her. It was a hot day but she made sure they got enough outside time and gave them lots of pets and treats inside. She sent me updates and made sure everything was done just right before heading out. I'd definitely book with Karen again.”

“She has pet sat for us several times and every time she has gone above and beyond. This past trip we were gone internationally and never had one concern because I knew Abigail had it under control!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care Justine provided while we were away! She went above and beyond to ensure our kitties felt safe, loved, and comfortable in our absence. From thoughtful updates and adorable photos to her genuine affection and attention to detail, it was clear our kitties were in the best hands. We came home to relaxed, happy cats—and a perfectly maintained home. Truly exceptional service—we wholeheartedly recommend Justine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter and will definitely be using her again!”

I treat every cat like my own—respecting their routines, earning their trust, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in their home. While I travel a bit for work, I have several home office days and weekends free to help your cats have a great time while you are away. I take great care of your cats in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed.

About: Since I can remember, I have been caring for animals. If people know me, they know there is no Emilee without pets. Whether it's caring for the 3 dogs of my own, my cat, or a friend's/family's/colleague's animals, I am always excited for bonus time around fury loved ones. I have a background and degree in Animal Science and specific skills pertaining to diabetic animals. I am comfortable with all breeds, ages and sizes. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I am able to take on new clients for one-off visits, or daily/weekly/monthly needs. I realize things come up unexpectedly, so I am happy to be an immediate resource for you if my schedule allows! My personal philosophy has always been, "What would I think if it were me?" If someone were entering my home, or taking care of my animals, I would want full confidence that I can 100% trust that person without a single doubt in my mind. Whatever your needs & preferences are, I can promise I will execute them on every level.
About: I have over 25 years of dog breeding experience and I would love to care for your loved ones in our home. Large home and plenty of running room in our spacious yard. I cannot take care of male dogs over 30 lbs due to a female dog in the household. I can take care of female fur babies of less than 30 lbs. I work from home and have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention he or she needs. Taking care of dogs are my specialty. I have a fenced in yard and a female lab who loves to go for walks and play. Your fur baby will have plenty of friends caring for him or her.
About: I’ve dog sat for a few family friends and absolutely loved it! I love animals (especially dogs) and would be happy to care for your doggo. I currently work part time but I set my own hours! So evenings or early mornings could definitely work out for me. I also am a college student starting back up in the fall semester of 2025 but my schedule is very flexible. I don’t think I would be able to care for your pets in my current living situation but would be happy to come to you when needed! I love walking and I’d be thrilled to bring a friend along with me (your dog).

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 Blue Ridge Summit 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.
To find sitters in Blue Ridge Summit with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
