“Natasha did a great job taking care of our chihuahuas over Christmas. The pictures she took really showed how much the dogs like her. They seemed really comfortable.”
About: I’ve owned a black Labrador(Anna) for over 13 years, she has not once had any sort of health issue as I’ve feed her well, and kept her up to date on vet visits. I’m caring, compassionate, and smart and versatile enough to be calm in any situation that may arise. I assure you that I will treat your pet as if it were my own. This allows me the freedom to stay focused on your pet and be there when other folks have to leave. If a situation ever does arrive my strength are communication so you can rest assured I will be in constant contact, which as a pet owner for an older girl myself id expect from others if I left her in their care. If the pet requires adequate exercise I have no problem going on a long walk with them and the space is pet friendly as my dog (Anna) is there. In your home, I can assure you that my experience will allow me to provide the best care for your loved ones.
“Claire did such an amazing job taking care of Blue. She was great to work with, followed my requests to a T, and sent frequent updates! I would totally recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and truly love being around them. I’m very comfortable being around and walking all different breeds. I have experience taking care of dogs of different breeds and ages for my family, friends, and other families in my community growing up. I’m a teacher so I am currently on summer break, but still can be an early bird. I am available basically any time of the day and any day M-F. I have a spacious apartment where I will prioritize caring for your dog and their safety. There are lots of good walking trails for dog walks.

About: i’ve never lived a day of my life without a dog (literally)! I started dog sitting when I was 15 and have taken care of up to three dogs at a time with varying age ranges from puppy to senior. I’m able to administer medication to different dogs and cats daily. I think there’s no better companion than my own dogs and cat, so I promise I will take the best care of yours! I can easily accommodate most schedules with daily checks. I have classes from 8 AM to 12 PM, but I’m able to wake up early to take care of animals. A few days a week I work at a restaurant until around 10 PM, but I am happy to go check on them throughout the day and then later in the evening if preferred. I always make sure medication‘s are put away, as well as any thing on the ground that they could get into. I typically watch my own dogs while they eat to make sure they eat everything but also to prevent any conflicts with resource guarding. When I check on animals, I tend to always play with them outside a little bit if they are dogs, or if the pet is more afraid, I just sit with them and talk with them for a few minutes.
About: I've grown up in a multi-pet household and have always been surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has been a part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of providing them with attentive, loving care. I'm a recent college graduate looking to earn some extra income to help pay off my student loans. I work full-time at the Corporate Research Center in Blacksburg, which means I'll be in the area consistently and can be a reliable, dependable sitter. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the same care and attention I give my own cats at home! I've grown up in a multi-pet household and have always been surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has been a part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of providing them with attentive, loving care. I have experience with both cats and dogs. I volunteered at an animal shelter in my hometown, where I primarily walked dogs and helped care for them. I also grew up with a Labrador Retriever and helped care for her throughout her senior years, including assisting with walking, standing, and eating when she needed extra support. While I love dogs, I'm equally experienced with cats. Over the past 10 years, I've cared for five cats between my family's pets and my own, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of feline personalities and needs.

I'm available for overnight stays any night of the week, as well as early morning and late afternoon walks or drop-in visits. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm happy to work with you to find a routine that best fits your pet's needs. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently live in a three-cat household, so my home isn't the best fit for boarding. However, I'm happy to provide attentive care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment while you're away. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure and providing regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for until you return.
“McCall did a great job with Ruby. She took her for walks in the neighborhood and played with her at the house. Ruby seemed to really enjoy being with her! It was good to see the photos she took too!”

“Anisa was wonderful! She took extra care with my baby, and spent more time with him than I asked. She even worked over the holiday and still kept in touch with me consistently. Will book with her again!”
About: I have grown up with multiple dogs! I’ve cared for them for as long as I can remember and have been responsible for caring for others animals for many years. I recently just moved away from my two Labrador Retrievers who are 4 and I miss them dearly. Both are very high energy and one with a very anxious/skittish personality. I want to be able to keep animals a constant in my life as they bring me the most joy. I treat all animals as if they were my own! I have a highly anxious rescue dog who can be easily scared by many things. I have been working with him on behavioral training and have the knowledge and skill set to help with your anxious pup as well! A lot of my rebooking occur outside of rover but that is what the owner prefers to do (: I work at Virginia Tech with a large Living-Learning Community. My schedule can be pretty flexible and a bit of a question mark most days. However my Monday through Friday schedule can look something like what I have laid out below. Monday: 9-12,3-5 Tuesday: 9-12,1-4 Wednesday: 9-12,1-4 Thursday: 9-12,1-4,6-7 Friday: 9-12,1-4 I live in a secure apartment complex that has many miles of walking paths, a large fenced in field with a dog park as well as the ability to travel to other pet friendly parks.
“Kalli did a fantastic job taking care of our two kitties. She’s attentive and paid attention to detail when it came to our pet care. She even offered to spend extra time with the cats so they had some social interaction. We will definitely use Kalli again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Christiansburg
Kevin was AWESOME! He accepted a very last minute request for two days of drop in visits with my boy Scruffy and even tolerated my separation anxiety and countless text messages and endless questions. He was always quick to respond and so kind in our correspondence. He kept me updated with videos and photos of his visits. I had absolute peace of mind. He went above and beyond any and all of my expectations. And, Kevin is Scruffy approved too! In fact, Scruffy has been looking out the window for his new friend hoping for a visit from Kevin today he liked him so much! I highly recommend Kevin. He gets 6 out of 5 stars ⭐️ from Scruffy and I.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Christiansburg 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 Christiansburg 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.

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.
