About: I grew up in a home with two medium-sized dogs, Levi and Lizzy, who are just now starting to enter their senior years! I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes in both an overnight and check-in environment. I am comfortable administering medicine orally to animals and have no problem cleaning up accidents. I am currently an ODU DPT student. Right now I am in Danville on a clinical rotation for the summer at SOVAH hospital. I am typically available after 3pm to do any drop-ins or walks. I can also work some early morning sessions in as well. Weekends are completely free! Though I have experience with overnight visits, I am most comfortable with drop-ins at your home. I can drop in for feedings, bathroom breaks, walks, changing litter boxes, and playtime! I can assure you that I will respect your home and your pets while ensuring that everyone's needs are met.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. My friends, neighbors, and my family would rely on me to check on them. I would play with them, feed them, walk them, and sometimes if they have injuries I would change them and keep an eye on them while they were in my care. I'm currently not working at this moment. Im available from 9-5 during the weekdays but on the weekends I can do a couple hours if needed. I prefer the weekdays to be at the client's house and the weekends can be at my house because I have my kiddos. They love animals like they run with them and play fetch as well.
“My cat, Charlie, is very shy and cautious. Nick has been super patient with getting him on his good side! Charlie has warmed up to him so much, especially with this last visit. I always get so many pictures and videos which is something any pet parent would appreciate!”
About: I’ll treat your dog like the special individual they are with patience, enthusiasm, and plenty of belly rubs. Expect lots of photo updates and the peace of mind that your best friend is in loving, experienced hands. I know that a happy dog is a tired dog (in the best way!). Whether your pup needs an energetic game of fetch, a long walk with plenty of time to stop and sniff, or just some cozy company while you’re away, I’m here for it. I’m experienced with everything from bouncy puppies who need constant supervision to dignified seniors who prefer a slower pace. Pet care is my daily routine. I do Rover full time, so my days are built entirely around walking dogs and caring for cats. I wake up ready for morning walks, schedule midday dropins for playtime and feeding. Since this is my primary focus, I’m able to be fully present for every pet, follow their routines without rushing, and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a high energy pup who needs a long hike or a shy cat who wants quiet companionship, I structure my day to meet each pet exactly where they are. When I care for pets in your home, my priority is keeping everything as normal and familiar as possible. I arrive on time, follow your feeding and walk schedules, and spend quality time engaging with your pet on their terms whether that’s energetic play, quiet cuddles, or just hanging out so they don’t feel lonely. I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep the home tidy so you come back to a space that looks as peaceful as you left it. I send daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
“We would definitely recommend Shakira and will absolutely be contacting her again ourselves! She was excellent and patient with our two dogs and understood each of their differences. Shakira is very considerate and conscientious, too. Outstanding experience!”
“Viridianne is absolutely wonderful! She’s been my go-to sitter for a while now, and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s so attentive to detail and genuinely cares about my cat’s comfort and routine. I always come home to a happy, relaxed cat (and detailed updates while I’m away!). It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in her hands. She truly treats him like her own, and that means the world to me. I feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Chastity was patient with all the pets. Despite the initial visits, Ralphy was happy and healthy. As were the cats. Thank you for be there for my babies. I will not hesitate to use your help in the near future. Thank you again from all of us😊”

About: Understanding the wide spectrum of cat emotions is a big must and earning their trust is just the start of it. I will take the time to learn and earn the trust of your cat so that they can have the best time while you’re having yours! I am a full time college student and usually only have a few hours occupied, so caring for your pet is a great way for me to spend downtime and make new friends! Keeping close to your pet prevents them from getting into places they shouldn’t and having access to necessities. I am mindful to keeping sensitive items out of reach and keeping your pet entertained so they dont scratch or chew around!

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 Danville 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.

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.
