Collette did a great job taking care of our two girls. We got multiple daily photos and small updates on how everyone was doing. They also made the girls comfortable and made them felt like we never left. Collette also made sure our house was clean and tidy before we returned. Highly recommend!

Viv was fantastic with Mochi! She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. I loved getting the cute pictures and hearing that everything was going well. It’s clear she enjoys caring for pets and she is very trustworthy. We were so happy with the experience that we rebooked her immediately. I would absolutely recommend Viv to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!

Riley was truly top notch. She stayed at our house with Rascal for a week while we were out of the country. She made sure to update us every day, and it was clear from the photos and videos that he was really comfortable with her. Not only was the house spotless, she decorated to celebrate that we got engaged while we were gone. Highly recommend, we are absolutely using her again.

Monique walked my 2dogs regularly when I was recovering from surgery. They looked forward to her coming every day. Recently I went out of town overnight and she was able to come take care of them plus the cat. Everyone was just fine in spite of some serious abandonment issues. She is loving, kind and sensitive. I felt confident leaving my loved ones in her care.

Wesley was an amazing dog sitter. When I got home from my trip, Sadie was relaxed, the house was tidy and even my plants were happy! Wesley sent pictures and videos of Sadie which I appreciated. There was also a puppy report and a card waiting to inform me of the happenings of the stay. I could not recommend Wesley enough.

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

Steven was as wonderful a pet sitter to my dog and two cats as I could have hoped for. My dog has a medical condition that requires some specific aspects of care, and Steven was great at managing these. I ran into some issues with her medication order while I was away, but Steven was extremely communicative and easy to work with while I got the medications sorted. He sent pictures of my pets daily and didn't mind me reminding him a hundred times of things he was already doing! My dog loved him and the kitties didn't even mind him (rare for them)! This was my first time using Rover, and I would 100% recommend Steven to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet uncle :)

Elizabeth took wonderful care of Roo while we were away for four days. She was incredibly flexible, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease throughout our entire time away. She sent frequent updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Roo was well cared for, and Elizabeth left our home very clean and treated it with respect. We would absolutely book with Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy 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 $65.88 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,452 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
