“We could not have been happier with the care Allyson provided to our cat Harry this week. Allyson sent detailed updates with photos for each visit (we had her visit twice daily while we were gone). She bonded really well with our kitty. She also appropriately clarified questions regarding care for his chronically blocked tear duct. We will for sure be booking her again. Highly recommend!!”

About: I grew up with a dog when I was really little. Growing up I dog sat and walked for my neighbors many times. Led me to be an all around animal lover, which is why I am an environmental studies major at VCU. Currently as college student at VCU(one class everyday Monday-Thursday), my weekends are usually open all day. I am used to waking up early but also very flexible. I like to take note of small habit and dos and don’ts to look back and be thorough in pet care. I am well versed in what dangerous for pets as I grew up with pets and have lived with both cats and dogs.

About: I've got 20 years of pet care experience, a cutie pie 65 pound mutt of my own, and would love to care for your fur baby. Whether you need someone to stay for the week, a quick drop in to play with your new puppy, or someone to walk, work on training, or offer some snuggles and enrichment time, I’m your girl. I’ve just stepped away from full time work and have a ton of flexibility in my days! Whether you need care during the typical workday, morning, or evening, I’m around! I'm more than happy to come to your home! I'm always aware of pets that might try to slip out the door, comfortable taking dogs of all sizes for a stroll, and do well building trust with skittish ones.

Got tons of pics and updates. It was such a relief. Jenna is a true dog lover and really took care of our guys like they were her own. She spent tons of time with them. I’ll definitely use her again and pass her info along to friends.”

Lynn was absolutely wonderful with Allie! From our very first meeting with her we knew that she would take excellent care of Allie. The very first visit she was early and incredibly punctual, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the sit she sent very thorough “report cards” with so many photos and detailed updates—exactly what every dog parent wants when they’re away! She was extremely communicative and always wrote back quickly, so we never had to wonder how Allie was doing. What really stood out was how adaptable and thoughtful Lynn was. She tried different approaches to get Allie to go potty outside, play, and eat, and it was clear she genuinely cared about figuring out what worked best for her. She even offered to walk Allie or come back for an extra visit if we were delayed getting home—such a thoughtful touch. We cannot thank her enough. It was such a relief knowing Allie was in the absolute best care. We will definitely be booking with Lynn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and proactive dog sitter! Thank you, Lynn!!

Eddie is a Godsend and drops by to see my dog 3 times a week. He's not only reliable, but I've also found that my dog behaves differently with me now that I let her in and out the back door. Eddie is well-versed in working with dogs, and his expectations for her behavior show up in my daily interactions with her. She's very high-energy (and a complete spazz), but I have noticed her behavior improve when I let her in and out to do her business in the backyard. She's consistent now and will sit for me after she comes back in. I can tell he's been working with her, and I'm very grateful for the help, including letting her out to use the restroom (which I needed and asked for).

We loved having the peace of mind to leave our pets in Emily's care! Great communication and attention to detail. There was a lot going on with our fur & feather setup this season and Emily was great to handle it with care. We loved knowing a knowledgeable GP mama had a watchful eye on our young pup. Mochi and her chickens would love to rebook anytime!

Angelique, is a great pet sitter. I’ve booked her a few times to provide a drop in service on my pet. She makes sure my pet eats, potty, and gets a quick walk/playtime. She always sends pictures and my pet appears happy. Thank you for your help! I will continue to book Angelique !

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Blue Star Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Blue Star Estates is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $17 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 2,498 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Blue Star Estates. 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 Blue Star Estates. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
