“Abigail is an excellent pet sitter and I strongly recommend her. I felt very comfortable with Abigail coming into my home to care for my cat. She is a kind hearted and caring person who genuinely loves pets!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and love to bond with them. Family and friends have let me pet sit for years and who doesn’t love hanging out with a cute dog. I am currently a part time student and in my off I go on walks and play with my own dog at home. I also go to dog parks to play with my two dogs. I will keep eyes on your pets and play with them and get their energy out. I will also make sure your pet has a new best friend.
“Yana is great! She was scheduled for a drop in for my dogs. They loved her and she gave attention to my cat as well (not that he gives anyone a choice). The dogs were happy and worn out when I got home. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
About: Not only did I grow up with 2-3 dogs in the house, but my mom has worked for a dog rescue the last 10 years. My family has fostered more than 100 dogs ranging from newborn puppies to end of life care for senior dogs. I have helped with everything from feeding, cleaning, creating enrichment, and exercising dogs of all sizes and ages. I am currently taking time off of work before I move abroad for graduate school in September so am completely flexible! I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets health and happiness! I have a fenced in yard and two super docile and friendly spayed female dogs who have also spent extensive time with other dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I also have spent a lot of time caring for other people’s pets in their homes without issue.
“I highly recommend Jordana! She was prompt with every visit, followed all instructions perfectly, communicated with us every day, left no messes behind, and our pups LOVED her immediately. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Julia was an absolute lifesaver! She accepted an incredibly last-minute booking without hesitation. My dog Frankie gets a bit or of separation anxiety and sadness when we leave town, but Julia handled it with total patience, compassion and professionalism. Very clear to communicate everything going on with the pup. Without ever meeting the pup before she was extremely reliable when I left her with some instructions. She went above and beyond! I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such flexible and capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“I found Ed last minute and he saved me ! I could not be more happier with his services. I was gone for 6 days and when I returned my cat (Bella) had been very well taken care of ! I will definitely be using Ed again and highly recommend him !!!”
“Madelyn is amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little apprehensive because my pup can be feisty and temperamental. Madelyn was super accommodating, calm, and professional. She sent great pictures and definitely put my mind at ease while I was on vacation. Will 100% be using her again!”
“Riley was fantastic with my puppy, Pearl! Pearl is always excited to see her and Riley goes above and beyond to help with paying and reinforcing good training habits, I highly recommend her!”
About: I have 3 adopted best friends. I have experience with dogs of all different ages and temperaments. I love going for walks and hikes with my pups. I work full time in healthcare which makes me unavailable 3 days a week. My schedule varies week to week but I am more than happy to help you on my off days. I have a fenced in yard that my 3 furry friends love to run around and play. My senior dog gets multiple walks a day. Dogs are allowed on all of my furniture but will follow any house rules provided.
“Erin did a great job with my cat! She was very responsive, made sure he got some good attention and playtime, and cleaned up at least one mess! Also, the photos she sent me were amazing - I annoyed everyone in my family by making them gather around to see the batch of photos from Erin every day 😂 I have a feeling this will not be the last time my cat gets to hang out with Erin.”
“Lissette was amazing!!! She took great care of our cats and sent us detailed updates while we were away. I know they received lots of love and attention. I gladly recommend Lissette and would use her again without hesitation!”
About: I have loved dogs since I was a kid! I recently have been working as a nanny and that has involved light care for pets as well, my current duties are walking the two dogs and feeding them treats and filling water bowls. I am very loving and caring. My previous job involved feeding and letting the pup out in the back yard to play and to help keep track of certain habits due to the dog having food allergies. I am so fond of animals as a whole that my future goal is to buy a house with lots of land and do free lance dog boarding! I would love to help your family with your pet’s needs! Hope to work with you soon!
About: When I was younger I took care of dogs for a few different people and later on helped take of my families pet cat for around two years. I’m currently unemployed and saving for college so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I’m open to most hours and am available any day of the week. When I had my families cat I’d make sure any food he couldn’t eat didn’t drop on the floor and I’d make sure he had clean water/clean food. I’d brush him and stuff like that. When I was dog sitting I’d take them for walks, when we were home I’d make sure they’d eat and are comfortable.
“Ted and his son were absolutely phenomenal! They went above and beyond to take care of my 3 cats while I was away. We can have peace of mind while traveling knowing that such great people have their eye on things back home ?”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Earlysville
Cayden is thoughtful, communicative, trustworthy, and responsible— we were so grateful to have had him as our rover for a short period of time! He took great care of our pups, and kept us updated on how each visit went. We look forward to booking him again when he is back from school!
I'm always nervous leaving my cat alone when I'm gone so I was very stressed about all the travel I had to do for the holidays. Chelsea was fantastic and it was clear after the first day that I had nothing to worry about. I would definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Earlysville on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 861 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Earlysville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Earlysville 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 Earlysville. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
