“Michelle is absolutely fantastic and took such good care of our boy! She made sure to give him a lot of attention, playtime, and pets. We just moved and our dog is still adjusting, she was very attentive to this fact and definitely helped him have an easy day. Her narratives are so great and really paint the picture of her time with our boy. We would highly recommend Michelle!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my young adult life. My first dog is a pandemic pet, who was 5 when I get her and is now 11! She had severe anxiety during our adjustment period with her but now, she’s only startled by loud sounds. She is now a senior that requires extra care and more patience, but a delight nonetheless. Two years ago, I decided to raise puppies that came to me when they were only a couple months old! They are now young adults that have been trained off leash with excellent recall! Now we’re all working on food aggression, with one pup being the image of nonchalant! I’m currently working part-time so my schedule differs depending on the day. My routine is the dogs’ routines! I’ve found that not having them on a strict schedule allows for flexibility in the life of dog owners. We eat together, followed by a potty break. While I get ready, they get supervision to roam around and play with each other. Once I head out to work, they each go in their respective kennels, minus the elderly dog. Once I’m back, we do the routine in reverse! I get changed, while the dogs play. Then dinner time for everyone, ended with extra time walking for their potty break and to wind down. If it’s a day I am not working, we spend a lot of time together outside of kennels with playing or cuddling since dogs deserve to socialize with their owners too! Different dogs have different needs, so in my home I have both an enclosed crate, and an open top kennel that is expandable. These are super easy for owners to move and separate dogs if need be. When introducing new pets, all of my dogs are enclosed for the safety of the new pet. They’re taken around to meet them and get familiar for a while before I decide if there are no signs of aggression before letting them mingle supervised. My goal is to stay by the new pets side the entire time of their stay! Whether that is in the capacity of watching over or playing directly with them. This goes for in a clients home. Meeting a dog while they are in a comfortable space is important, along with allowing them to be the first to initiate interaction. Then they decide the course! If they have their own schedules they follow, I just facilitate them and if they’re flexible, I take the same approach as I would my own dogs.

About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including care of my family’s dog for over 16 years. I treat every pet like family and understand the importance of routines, safety, and comfort. From fun walks and playtime to knowing what pets can and can’t eat—and plenty of belly rubs—I provide attentive, loving care. When I’m with your pet, they have my full attention so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, trustworthy, and someone you can rely on to care for your dog or cat while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins, rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Because I’m home, I can closely monitor their comfort, routines, and needs and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I provide attentive, loving care whether pets are in my home or in a client’s home. I live in a townhouse with a fenced backyard where pets can safely go outside, play, and relax. I also have access to a nearby large backyard for additional space and supervised playtime when appropriate. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free by maintaining consistency and giving them my full attention.

About: I am most experienced with reactive and larger dogs. I love all pups and have been caring for them for 10+ years. I am a mom to a 5 year old pit mix. I am currently in between jobs phasing out of one part time position into the other, so I have a lot of flexibility. I am an early riser, and want to get more exercise by walking other’s dogs. I do not have dogs or cats in my home due to my pup being reactive herself. I am always vigilant when caring for animals, looking out for danger and or unsafe conditions for them.

About: We are a husband-and-wife duo who love animals. We both work from home so your furbabies will be well looked after. We've volunteered with pet rescues (most recently) from 2020-2022, finding over 25 puppies, kittens, dogs and cats their furever home. We have both had dogs from puppies to when they crossed the Rainbow Bridge and are familiar with the delicate nature of aging in our beloved pets. I've had experience administering insulin to a cat while cat sitting. Your animals will be treated like our extended family. We let our own mammals out once every two hours. We also feed our animals twice a day about 12 hours apart. We make sure they are well exercised and rested. There is a large fenced in area for horses that we converted to our own private dog park. We will follow the rules of your home should you need a stop in. If your mammals stay with us, we will treat them as our own, and per your instructions.

So grateful for Elizabeth! On a short notice she was flexible with our situation and ended up being exactly what we were looking for. As a new time pup mom I was very worried about leaving my 8 week old Berner at home but Elizabeth communicated with me the entire time and soothed my nerves by being so patient and caring with my little guy. I am so impressed with how familiar and comfortable she is with puppy care + dog care in general. We are so excited to work with her more! Your pets would be in excellent care with her!

Rachel has been great with our adult dog and our very young puppy! We needed someone to come and check in on the puppy while we're at work, feed him, and take him out. She gives a comprehensive update everyday and has taken some very cute pictures of the dogs, including our older girl who refuses to look at a camera. We're very grateful she's been able to give us a hand!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Donovans Corner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Donovans Corner is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $39 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 15,300 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Donovans Corner. 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 Donovans Corner. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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 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.
