“My dog is very nervous around new people, but CeCe was patient and let him come to her. She provided several updates and many photos during her stay at our house, which made us feel at ease. Our fur baby and house were well cared for, and I would not hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new sitter.”

About: Hi! My name is Marissa and I am an animal lover, pet mom, and full-time teacher. I am looking for some additional income and would love to help take care of your fur baby while you are away on vacation or at work. While I do not have a lot of experience pet sitting, I have had pets my entire life and am currently a pet mom to my cat, Malachi. I am always the one that my friends/family go to if they need a pet sitter or help with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and would have plenty of time to spend time with and get to know your wonderful pet. I can't wait to hear from you and get to know your special fur baby/babies! I am currently a full time teacher, meaning I am able to care for your animal early mornings and I am off early afternoon so your pet will not have to wait until evening for care! I also have most common break/vacation times (thanksgiving, Christmas, summer, long weekends) off and have a more flexible schedule during those times. I will care for your pet as if it were my own! I make sure your pet is fed and taken care of, but I would also love to spend time with your pet so they are not lonely while you are away.

“Kristi was an awesome sitter! She was attentive to our shy pup, and both of our dogs were left tired and content after a weekend with her. She spent a ton of time with them and clearly cares about the animals she works with. We definitely plan to book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve had dogs since i was a baby, always been one of my favorite things. I’ve been told i’m an animal whisperer and have a special connection with pets i don’t even know! I’m currently a part time worker, i’d have plenty of time to take care of and watch your animals. l don’t spend much time away from home max would be 4-5hrs on certain days. I’m overly open with pets being out around the house, they can be crated if needed of course. I have a small fenced area but a leash would still be needed preferably due to my neighbors dogs.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me for most of my life, from growing-up on a farm in Maryland to working large animal husbandry at the Virginia Tech Veterinary School to sharing a 1-bedroom studio with two cats in Roanoke City, and I’ve always loved all animals. All! Right now, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and they are very much part of my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and just hanging out with them and giving them attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you’re away, and I’ll care for yours just like I care for my own. I’m currently in the process of my Pet-CPR/First Aid certification. I’m working a flexible schedule (as a Referee). When I’m at work, Nalini (my wife), will be there at home with your pet. So, your pet would never be there alone day or night. The most respect, care, compassion, and hugs!! There’s separate pet living spaces in my house for accommodating your pets needs, and we have a friendly and vaccinated dog.

It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were away. Whitney was caring, dependable, and kept us updated, which we really appreciated.

About: Hi! My name is Nidia 🙂I’m a dependable, caring cat lover who works remotely, so I’m able to give cats plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Regular updates, gentle care, and extra love always come free! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and creating a calm, caring environment for them. Since I work remotely, I have the flexibility to provide consistent attention, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and it’s rewarding to help pet parents feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. When caring for dogs in their owner’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on your dog’s needs and personality. I also make sure your home stays clean and respected while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I provide calm, dependable care to help them feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve always been a passionate animal lover. I share my home with both a dog and a cat, and while my pup has made it clear he’s happiest as an only dog, pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with even more wonderful animals. As a conservationist and vegetarian, caring for animals is something that’s deeply important to me. I’ve helped care for friends’ pets and homes for years, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy keeping pets in their familiar routines and surroundings, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and snuggles. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care before and after work, as well as evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me additional flexibility during those days. Tuesday through Thursday, I work in the office from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. If you’re located near the downtown Roanoke area, I may be able to stop by during my lunch break when needed. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible and ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and household routines. As someone who shares my home with both a dog and a cat, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for friends’ pets and homes and treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

Gussie is awesome! She was available last minute and followed all my care instructions. After a bad experience with another Rover sitter, I was anxious leaving my pups with someone new. But Gussie eased my anxiety and was great with my babies! Definitely hiring again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cave Spring

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Cave Spring on Rover is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $64 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 401 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cave Spring. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cave Spring walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cave Spring maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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 Cave Spring 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!

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
