“Helen was absolutely incredible with our two cats! They are seniors with special needs and very human-oriented, and Helen put our minds at complete ease when she house sat for a night and two days while we were out of state. She provided updates, photos, and kept in touch with us throughout the whole time we were away. She even very kindly brought our mail and hellofresh inside, and made up the bed so we could just drop our bags and settle in at home when we returned. Definitely rebooking anytime we need her services in the future!”
“my dogs loved Collette and were happy and healthy when I came home. My home was left when she left as it was when I left for my trip, which means a great deal to me. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve personally have two dogs and one cat, but taken care of many more. Puppies, potty accidents, senior dogs, grouchy cats. I love them all! Looking to gain more professional experience with different animal personalities. I am a former dog foster for the Richmond SPCA and Beagles & Bentleys. My availability is mostly open during the week, and fully open on the weekends. I will work any day of the week but would prefer advance request for weekend. My home has already been made pet friendly and has the space to accommodate 1-2 more pets (depending on size) as I do have two of my own. I like to get a sense of how the pet feels about his / my home to establish their level of comfortability and trust.
“Joe did a great job communicating and sending pics every day, which allowed me to relax and not worry about Bentley. He went above and beyond caring for my pet and my only concern is that he will have more requests for his services than he has time!”
“Marissa did an absolutely fabulous job of taking care of our two "elderly" greyhounds for a week. She made them comfortable and secure by sticking to their routine and gave them lots of love. She sent pictures and gave us regular updates and was very responsive to any questions that we had so we never had to wonder what was going on. I would highly recommend Marissa!!”
“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”
“Anna was super thorough and patient in the meet and greet with our dog, who can sometimes be overly energetic and anxious. She is detail oriented and super responsible, and updated us throughout the stay and Beanie seemed calm and content when we returned. Thanks, Anna!”
“Eddie S. Watched our house and two high spirited large dogs. They loved him and did very well with him. He was very conscientious and communicated well. Sent great photos and put us at ease. Definitely plan to have him care for our dogs again!”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing dogsitting for my Lola while I was away for a couple of days. I got frequent updates and photos (always love those). Would definitely use her again!”
“First experience with the app it was awesome ❤️ Sara was very caring and great with my two dogs?. Sara was very punctual and she was always keeping me updated with the care of my dog will I was in my trip. I definitely going to get in touch with her for the future caring of my dogs. ?❤️?”
“We trusted Bri with our pet’s care and couldn’t be more impressed! Asking thoughtful questions, sending photo updates, and taking care of our home while we were away made us feel so confident in her care! She is super sweet and communicative and anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their pet! Will book again 😊”
“Violet was great with our dogs. They can be a bit high maintenance and she took that on with grace and understanding. Would highly recommend Violet and will be using her again!”
“Riley took care of our dog, Rose, while we were getting married out of the country for a week- and we could not have asked for a better sitter. Our biggest concern was that Rose wouldn't be left alone to much or have to sleep by herself, and Riley went above and beyond to ease our minds. She stayed overnight with Rose every night, made sure she was fed and cared for, and kept her company just like we would. She also sent us regular photo and video updates, which made us feel so much more connected and reassured while we were away. Rose clearly adored her, and it was obvious that Riley treated her like one of her own. To top it all off, when we got home, we found a sweet congratulations card, a bottle of wine, and treats for Rose waiting for us. Such a thoughtful surprise! Riley is reliable, kind, and so in tune with the needs of both pets and their (slightly anxious) owners. If you're looking for someone who truly cares, book Riley- you won't regret it. Thank you again, Riley!! ❤️”
“Lauren was professional and responsive - we did a meet and greet and then she stayed at our home for a weekend. Our dogs were well taken care of and the house was clean upon return.”
“Celeste was great! They house sat for me and took care for my cats, sent me pictures and made sure they got attention, fed, and cleaned the litter box. Would definitely recommend them!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chamberlayne
Julia has provided excellent care for my senior dog many times over the past few years. She is reliable, caring, attentive, and always makes me feel confident that my dog is in great hands. I truly appreciate the updates and the thoughtful care she provides, especially with an older dog. I highly recommend Julia for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
Jamie was absolutely amazing while staying overnight with our dog, Rudy. From the moment we met her, we felt confident that he was in great hands. She took exceptional care of him, kept him happy and comfortable, and treated him like one of her own. We really appreciated her attentiveness, reliability, and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. It was clear that Rudy was well cared for and received plenty of attention and affection. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. We highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. We would gladly book with her again!
We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth during our 10 day trip! She took such wonderful care of our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was communicative, sent us lots of updates and pictures, and it was obvious our pups were happy, comfortable, and well loved. Coming home to happy, relaxed dogs was the best feeling. We truly appreciated all the care and attention she gave them and would absolutely book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Rachel was wonderful sitting for our 2 GSP's while we took a short weekend trip! She was very responsive both during the booking process and while we were away. Rachel is very knowledgeable about caring for dogs which really adds to the comfort level in leaving them. My younger dog is ball obsessed and she kept him entertained so he was happy! My house was neat and tidy when we returned. I would not hesitate to book with Rachel again and hopefully will be able to do so in the near future!
Keith is a dream! We were rover sitters for years when we were younger and I have NO idea why we’ve been bugging our friends to pet sit for years and not just use Rover ourselves. Keith made it easy to be a believer. He replied to me at 9pm 2 days before a request met us the next day and was at our home on time as promised the following morning. He was so professional, felt immediately easy to trust, a great communicator and of course perfect guardian of the fur children. I do not recommend doing what we did - plan ahead as I plan to in the future. Not proud of the last minute reach out but so glad Keith was there to our rescue. My dog who barks at everyone immediately took to him too. Keith is a peach and we can’t wait to book with him again!
Monique stayed with our two dogs while we were overseas for 11 days. She was so flexible and met with my more nervous dog two times before we left. She communicated the whole time and our dogs were very happy to be in their own home with Monique rather than a boarding facility. I highly recommend her and we will be using her for many more trips this upcoming year.
Zoe was super kind and considerate when I needed a last minute pet sitter for my rescue dog who has never been away from us before. She was very professional and understanding that he needed some extra time to adjust, she was very patient with him and followed his routine perfectly! I highly recommend Zoe :)
I can only give Isabella 5 Stars but would happily give her more. She was wonderful to work with from the beginning, being very responsive and professional. She listened to our needs and helped customize a schedule that worked for our two dogs. One has some anxiety issues and the other is older and requires daily medications. She handle both with ease. She checked in with me daily and reached out with a couple questions to clarify while we were away to ensure they had the level of care needed. I was so appreciative of this as this was the first time she had stayed with my dogs. The dogs really seem to like her and she them. I was impressed with her attention to detail. We will absolutely hire her again.
Regina was great. She filled a last minute request when the sitter we had booked canceled. She was on time, professional and carrying with our dog. She communicated well. She sat with Sandy for 7 hrs, walking playing and cuddling. She ensured Sandy was at ease and felt cared for. I cannot say enough. Highly recommend.
Winter was fantastic with our two dogs. Both of our dogs are high energy (Australian Shephard and an Australian Cattle dog/Australian Shephard), and one has anxiety issues and can take longer to warm up to strangers. She was patient, worked with them, and took the time for them to become comfortable with her. She was very communicative, and sent great photos of them while we were gone. She was great giving them their medication as needed and really helped us out with a last minute booking. I would highly recommend Winter, and hope to use her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Chamberlayne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chamberlayne on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,443 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chamberlayne. 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 Chamberlayne 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 Chamberlayne 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.
Tip: 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 Chamberlayne 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

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.
