“Megan is doing a great job with Abby. She arrives promptly at the scheduled time or communicates, if the schedule is going to be slightly adjusted. As well as letting Abby out for a potty break, she takes Abby for a walk and from pictures also sits with and spends time her. Abby always looks happy in the visits.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 5 year old poochon of my own. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether it’s overnight care, house sitting, drop-ins, or walks, I’ll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while you’re away. I am currently in an online grad school program, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Because I complete most of my coursework from home, I have the ability to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays consistent, so I do my best to follow each owner’s care instructions closely. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medications, or simply spending quality time together, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home while providing owners with peace of mind.

About: I had my baby boy, Lui, for 14 years. He is my first and only dog 🐕. I have had my Theo for almost 6 years and our Misha for 2. They are my babies💓 I have been dog and cat sitting as needed for friends, neighbours, and family for a few years now and always love it. I am open to taking care of any pet, just let me know what they require and I will do my absolute best to cater to their needs! 💗 I am currently focusing on online school to be a certified paralegal. I am not working anywhere else, so I have a lot of free time and plan on doing this full time. It's really important to me that I'm making sure I am paying a lot of attention to my kitties so their needs are being met. Not only that, but i like to make sure that they feel seen and heard. Cats can be very clear with their communication if you're willing to pay attention. When it comes to others' babies, I like to make sure I get enough information to be able to care for them the way they are used to and will make them feel the least stressed while you're away.
About: UPDATE! Currently offering daily walks and drop in visits only. We currently have 2 new rescue dogs who are still adjusting and learning social skills. I've had multiple dogs for over 18 years. Having never taken them to a kennel while away, I have been lucky to have the support of friends and family for dog sitting. Now having moved far from everyone, Rover is my go-to solution! I have decided to offer the same alternative to other dog parents, knowing how valuable it is to have your pet in a home environment, showered with attention while you're at work. I live in a great community with lots of parks and trails near by. I work from home full time, and can be flexible with scheduling, however a week's notice required to ensure I can accommodate your request. Repeat and recurring clients get priority. I don't leave dogs outside unsupervised. Dogs are aways leashed when outaide. I will accommodate specific requests, please provide details and discuss ahead of time.
“Lauren was super responsive and took great care of our very energetic 2 1/2 year old German Shepherd. Our dog was very well cared for and happy with two daily walks and feeding. I recommend Lauren and give her 5 stars for a green job.”

Haleigh responded very quickly to a last-minute need for a sitter. She understood the situation and the needs of the dogs and proved that she is one of the best. She provided me with updates on the dogs as well as weather related issues that needed to be addressed. As an example, power was lost in the heat of the day, and she came to the house to close the curtains to minimize the heat in the house. Simply thoughtful. Would I recommend her to others and use her talents again? Quite certainly. 6/5
This was not an easy assignment as I requested three visits a day with both early morning and later in the evening visits, but Alexis did a fantastic job with my two hyper Aussies. She was prompt and played ball with them and gave them attention during her visits and was very conscientious and provided photos of them. Would highly recommend her.

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 Charles Town 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.
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 Charles Town 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Charles Town with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
