“Abbie was great! She came over to meet Tucker and JoJo the day before we left. She communicated with me after every visit and included photos. The doggies were well cared for, and I would definitely have Abbie here again!”
“My older cat doesn't do people and Ashley actually saw her a couple times when she stopped in - that's huge! She went above and beyond by also taking care of my plants as well as my cats. :) She's a keeper.”
About: I have previously volunteered at a rescue for 10 years. I have fostered many animals for the rescue and kept some of those as well. I can handle almost anything. I've also had my fair share of special needs animals, so I'm comfortable handling pets whose needs are out of the ordinary. I've also worked with and owned most types of animals ranging from a few weeks old to 20+ years, so I can provide care to very young or very old animals. I just graduated college and am currently between jobs, so I am at home working on my fixer-upper apartment all day. My schedule is entirely flexible! I will be available almost all waking hours of the day. I can stop in on your schedule to provide care and walks, or just stay over to give the pets round the clock care. I will make sure that your pet stays happy and healthy while in my care!
“Sam was amazing. I was nervous about using Rover at first, but she came and did a meet and greet before our trip, and was just so awesome the entire time. Our dog is pretty afraid of new people at first and not great with other dogs, so I was just unsure about a new person watching him/ checking in on him. She kept me updated on everything. And Hugh seemed to love her! I will absolutely request Sam’s services again in the future and would recommend her to anyone in the Roanoke area!!”
“Katlin was wonderful this Summer with our boxer puppy Leia! She dropped by and played with Leia, took Leia to play with her pups, and kept Leia overnight! Highly recommend Katlin.”
“Justine was great with our dogs, visited them 3 times a day at varying hours. Flexible and we didn't have to worry about them when we were out of town for a weekend. Pups were happy and well taken care, Justine was very prompt with the check in times and ensured the went out, ate and were left happy until the next visit. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for drop in visits!”
“I cannot thank Hannah enough for taking such wonderful care of our dogs. They took to her right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond to make sure our home was safe for the pets before she left, and her communication was excellent, including prompt updates and photos. She was professional, thoughtful, and reliable. Highly recommend!”
“My little old man has never been much for other people.. Olivia was patient with him and gave him the time he needed to come out and eat! She handled his moodiness and his meds (not for moodiness sadly 😆) while also wrangling the 9month psycho kitten! I will 100% be a repeat customer”
“Megan is simply the best! We continue to have her take care of our two fur babies, because she is so responsible and always goes the extra mile! Every visit is reported with the best pictures and write ups. The pups are clearly enjoying themselves and feeling secure, just as we are! We certainly are thankful to have found Megan!!”
“First time Rover user and we couldn’t be more happy! Lexi took great care of our pups, kept us informed and sent us pics while we were gone. Will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
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.
About: I have been a dog lover all my life! I have done drop in visits, walks, boarding, and house sitting for 10+ years and now I have two dogs at home (a giant puppy and 9 year old pitbull). I work from home most days, so I have a flexible schedule for drop ins or walks. I currently work from home most days, so I have a very flexible schedule. With notice, I can try to make most visits work in my schedule! I am a respectful and mindful person who is very clean, timely, and communicative. I know what it is like to be in need of help with a dog (and/or house), so I know how appreciated clear communication and mindful care mean when it comes to the ones we love!!
“Hannah is so professional and clearly knows how to care for dogs! She kept in touch and sent photos. Our dog loved having her come and play while we were gone. She went above and beyond! Highly recommend!”
“Alyssa is absolutely AMAZING!! She took my booking at the very last minute. She’s a God send!! Isla was clearly happy to make a new friend. I appreciate Alyssa’s prompt availability and excellent friendly service. She was thorough and informative just all around awesome!! So grateful for her service!”
“Lauren is fantastic! We were nervous to hire a sitter for the first time, but it was clear that our babies had a blast while we were gone. We have a cat who usually hides in the closet whenever friends come over to watch him, but he actually came out and let Lauren give him scritches! Her communication was great, she was reliable, and we always knew our pets were doing well.”
“Sharon was fantastic!! We are new to the area and needing to find someone to watch our furbabes while we were away. She answered all of my many questions and was so patient and kind. Our dogs loved her and were so spoiled when we got home!! We couldn't be happier and will 100% use her again! Highly recommend!!”

Megan is a pup whisperer and takes such good care of our little ones. She is so in touch with what they are feeling and goes the extra mile to make them feel loved and secure when we are not here to do it. They are in the best of hands - safe and well taken care of!! They all adore her and so do we!!
Taylor did a great job watching our pups for around a week! 3 pups multiple visits per day and she was very accommodating to their needs and schedule. Pups were very well taken care of and Taylor went above and beyond to keep them company especially during a storm. We didn’t have to worry about them while we were out of town and it was very reassuring. Taylor was very professional and provided wonderful care for our pups! Frequent updates were provided and the pups were very happy! Would recommend her to anyone that needs their pups watched!
Alyssa is quite honestly one of the BEST dog care professionals I have ever worked with. I chose to use the word professional because she does such an amazing job an is very communicative and makes me feel like my girl is well cared for. She also may be a professional photographer because she sends the best pup pics! She will be my go to dog care person going forward!
Julia is, hands down, an amazing dog sitter. She is so attentive and clearly loves dogs. She wasn’t deterred by my grumpy Great Dane’s barking and she made sure to cuddle my oldest dog while playing fetch & tug with my high energy shepherd. She was punctual, communicative, and sent photos. She even went out of her way to bring my 75 pound Chewy box delivery inside and washed mugs I had left in the sink before I went out of town. My dogs loved her. Can’t recommend her enough.
Autumn did a wonderful job caring for our pup, Gordy! It was great to receive the photos of their interactions each day, along with the detailed updates about his pees, poops, and other actions. Autumn is great at communication and is clearly trustworthy, while also being receptive to feedback and following through with specific requests. She was a wonderful asset for our sirtuation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cave Spring on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 661 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cave Spring. 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 Cave Spring 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 with handling special pet needs in Cave Spring. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 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.
