“Haven was wonderful with my crew of 3 dogs and 3 cats! She updated me on each visit and was very patient working with me and my ever changing schedule including last minute changes and additional visits as well as rescheduling visits. I truly appreciate her being so flexible. My pets were well cared for so I didn't have the added stress of worrying about them while we were away.”

About: I have many years of personal experience caring for cats, including senior cats and cats with chronic health conditions such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. My experience includes following detailed feeding and care routines, administering oral and topical medications, monitoring appetite and water intake, maintaining clean litter areas, and watching for changes in weight, energy, behavior and bathroom habits. I have also helped one of my own cats recover from a wound that required consistent cleaning, prescribed topical treatment and close monitoring. That experience reinforced the importance of patience, careful attention and following care instructions consistently, even when a cat is less than thrilled about the process! Caring for senior and special-needs cats has taught me to recognize subtle behavioral changes and respect each cat’s individual comfort level. Some cats welcome immediate affection, while others need time and space to build trust. I never force interaction, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully while adapting my approach to the pet’s personality. My schedule is currently flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon and evening visits based on availability. I keep my service area intentionally small so I can arrive reliably, spend the full scheduled time with each pet and avoid overbooking. Before a first booking, I prefer to meet the pet and review feeding instructions, medication routines, emergency contacts, veterinarian information, entry procedures and any household safety concerns. I follow written care instructions carefully, I will never force interaction with a nervous pet. I'll confirm that doors and entry points are secured, and provide photos and detailed updates after each visit.

“You are not going to find a better dog sitter/walker than Amanda. The boys absolutely adore her and she is sooo good with them. She is incredibly flexible and accommodating of my chaotic life when it comes to scheduling. In fact, she has saved my butt on multiple occasions. Additionally, she proactively goes above and beyond. During this most recent visit, I warned her that I had run out of poop bags so she needed to watch her step. Amanda, being the caring puppy sitter that she is, surveyed the whole yard and picked up all of the stray puppy piles. I dare you to find another pet sitter willing to do that! Anyways, she's great!”

About: I’ve taken care of friends’ dogs for years! I love meeting new dogs and creating bonds with them. At home, I have a senior dog who requires some extra care so am able to provide the same for your dog. I’m currently applying for jobs, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I’m available anytime of day that is convenient for you ! Aside from the basics of caring for your pet (feeding, water, walks, etc), I will spend some extra time playing and petting as needed to make sure they feel safe and happy!

About: I am very available in the summertime (I am a teacher), and I am available on day on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, I am able to travel to your pet in the morning and evening (before and after work). On weekends and on school breaks I am very flexible. I currently am a teacher, so I am available morning and evening on weekdays, and I am available all day on weekends. I am also available all the time in the summer. I am very willing to come take care of your pets at your house. I am very welcoming to all behaviors and I will follow all expectations perfectly, as well as take care of your animal with as much love as you would!

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats in our household. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs and boarding family pets as well. This includes walking, giving medications, bathing (for dogs), providing food and water and of course play time. I also volunteer with local rescues to care for both cats and dogs. One of the many benefits that volunteering has provided is the ability to gain further knowledge about safely caring for both cats and dogs. This includes navigating behavioral changes and safely handling dogs. I currently work from home part time, this gives me lots of time to care for animals! I will be available Monday - Friday and can accommodate up to 3 visits per day. We currently have 3 tabby mixes at home, adopting them was the best decision I could have made! On a daily basis I provide oral medications, fresh water, food, treats and litter box cleanings. I also ensure their spaces are clean by sweeping up a litter or messes they may have made throughout the day/night. Play time is also a very important part of our day, keeping the cats enriched and happy is my goal!

“Jenna was a life saver. We have two sweet 14 year old Australian shepherds who are a little wobbly and don’t see as well as they used to. I was afraid to leave them but Jenna was amazing!! 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.”

“Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.”

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).

Erin is so great with my animals. She does the full 30 min I ask for, is attentive to all needs, and is very responsive to messages. She has a good knowledge of pets in general and this puts me at ease knowing my pets are in her care. When I cannot respond as I cant always get to my phone when she has questions, she makes good judgment calls. I feel comfortable with her in my home and thats has been a huge blessing to my schedule and work schedule. Hire this girl!!

She is amazing with my Doberman and Shepard mix girl. They love her to death, which my two can be a bit picky. Krista goes above and beyond “just” walking the dog. She has brought in a few packages for me and even cleaned up a poo in the house they were so nice to leave. I never doubt for a second when she’s with them that they are happy and healthy. Plus to have someone trustworthy come in your home means the world. Highly recommend.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Chamberlayne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Chamberlayne is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 2,515 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chamberlayne. 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 Chamberlayne. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
