“Jennifer was awesome checking in on my 2 cats while I was away at a conference. We texted and also spoke via phone about each cat’s need, how they may respond with a new person, and my expectations. She spent the time of the short check in to ensure they were fed, watered, and did play time with them. She also kept me apprised the entire time. I plan to use her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Alexis was amazing! She was always on time, super reliable, and gave great updates with notes and photos after every visit. She even checked that our home looked good for showings, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again!”
“Heather is AMAZING!! We are truly blessed to have found her! I was worried that no one would want to take on four Siberian Huskies, two of them being puppies! She genuinely cares about them and goes above and beyond to see that they are shown lots of love and affection. I would highly recommend Heather, especially if you’re a worried dog parent who hates to leave their four legged babies. She has put my mind at ease knowing they are well cared for.”
“Lydia provided above and beyond care while dropping in on our two kitties during our vacation. My usually shy and skittish cat warmed up to her almost instantly. When my typically social cat decided to play hide and seek, Lydia didn't just move on. She made sure to lure him out, even having me record my voice to help call him, although a good old bowl of food is what finally did the trick lol. To top it off, when our AC went out due to a tripped breaker, she noticed right away and fixed it so our cats wouldn't get overheated!! She is attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely loves what she does. Receiving her detailed daily updates gave us complete peace of mind, knowing our pets were in the best possible hands. Do not hesitate to book Lydia. I truly can’t say enough good things!”
“Meghan has been an excellent care giver for our older cat, and it was a comfort knowing that she was experienced with giving medications since our sweet kitty needs a daily asthma pill. Thank you so much, Meghan!”
“Alesia was great! Took good care of my kitties and made sure they had everything they needed while we were away!!! This included play time, good pets, fresh food and water, and litter cleanups! Thanks girl!!”
“Tess did an amazing job sitting for our pups. Punctual, very communicative, and most importantly our dogs were tuckered out at the end of the day. Will definitely hire again, A++ reliable sitter!”
“Andre was professional & caring. She managed my needy Doberman, a young kitten & also helped w our small Guinea pigs. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future needs! She was a pleasure to have caring for our animals.”
“Very responsive very courteous works very well with my dog very open communication. Does a wonderful job taking care of my pet. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter.”
“Nila was great. Took care of the dogs and gave them extra love and attention. My dogs will miss her care and miss her. She was also great at communication and helping change a little when my plane got delayed.”
“Leslie is a wonderful pet sitter! She was great with my dog and was very respectful of our property. I am so happy she was able to help us out! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charles Town
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
As a pet sitter myself, I’m pretty particular about who I trust with my pets. Catherine took such great care of my cat, Boo, and I’m so glad I chose her. She was attentive, kind, and clearly took the time to understand Boo’s routine and personality. I really appreciated the updates and felt completely at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat. I’d absolutely trust Catherine again and can highly recommend her.

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 .

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.
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 Charles Town. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
