About: Hello, I’m Cassidy, I’ve had dogs of my own and many years of helping family and friends with their animals. Animals as we know are the best and I’d be more than happy to help anyone out with theirs. I’m currently working a job at night, therefore throughout the day, I am free and ready to help anytime! I can be flexible and work around your schedules and mine. Your pet is my top priority when taking this job and I will ensure a safe and fun visit for your fur babies. I will listen to what needs to be done and complete the task.
“Thank you for checking in on my sweet pups!! I knew they were in great hands, and i received lots of adorable pictures! They even gave my cat, Nori, some love!! Will definitely book with you again!”
About: I've taken care of animals wether they're mine or someone else's for as long as I can remember. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them. I communicate everything to make sure your pets are safe and happy! 🥰 My schedule is very flexible and I know our pets are happiest when their routine stays consistent, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and low-stress experience in your home. I follow feeding instructions carefully, keep litter areas clean, clean up accidents in case your pets get anxious when your away, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and happy. I treat every pet and animal like my own and respect their individual personalities, space and routine. Whether your pets are playful, shy, or independent, I provide patient care, attention, fresh food and water, litter maintenance, and updates/photos while you’re away. Between dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals and even the little guys like hamsters and fish.
“My dog can be very scared when I’m not there. Jenna was patient and made sure she was safe, had food and water, and was able to go out when needed. She kept in touch well and kept me updated. She definitely cares for your dog as you would.”
“Melanie and Addison, thank you so much for watching my dogs over the weekend. Your communication and notes were nice to work with, and I really appreciate the care and attention you gave them.”
About: I have hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bentley, who is just over a year old. Taking care of him has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing ball, and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very comfortable keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy. What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, good at reading behavior, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet so they can relax and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog, Bentley. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily include additional pets and give them the same level of care, time, and consistency. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, no matter where they are. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and sleep so they feel at ease, and I always supervise playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. I pay attention to behavior, make sure they’re secure at all times, and give them lots of love and attention. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: After spending years in hospitality, I’ve built my career around providing exceptional care, creating positive experiences, and paying attention to every detail. Those same skills are what I bring to every pet I care for. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals over the years. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My hospitality background means you can expect reliability, clear communication, and outstanding service from start to finish. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, follow your pet’s routine closely, and treat your home and your furry family members with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring someone to watch your pet—you’re choosing someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and is committed to giving you complete peace of mind. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet and know they were treated like family every step of the way. My pets keep me on a schedule at home and I’m happy to their schedules in your home. Routines are important to them which I will adhere to. I will abide by your schedule and direction when caring for your animals in your home. I know that being at their home is best for the animal.

About: Open for appointments for the summer 2026!💗 -22 years old college student at ECSU - Experience in caring for dogs, cats, & farm animals 🐔 -Future Ultrasound Technician 🤍 I am a full-time student and I usually end classes between 12-3 pm.

About: I have been a babysitter for over 20 years. Most of the families I worked with had pets, dogs or cats. I have had cats of my own over the years but now I help my mom take care of her 2 dogs. I recently moved to Newport News so I have a completely open schedule. I am already cooking fresh food for my mom's dogs and walking them regularly. Come join us. I prepare meals for my mom's dogs weekly. I research foods they can and cannot have to make sure they are happy and healthy. I also walk them 3 times a day minimum. There is a dog park on the premises but they mostly just sniff around :).
“Rachel was absolutely amazing with Xena. Xena was so happy and calm when I got home. I could tell she really liked having Rachel look after her and play with her. I would definitely recommend Rachel as a dog sitter.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From a young age, I helped watch and care for neighbors’ and friends’ pets, which taught me how meaningful—and rewarding—pet care truly is. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to three animals of my own, and I also have two young children, which has deepened my patience, attentiveness, and nurturing approach to caregiving. I believe in more than just meeting an animal’s basic needs—I strive to provide enrichment, comfort, and a happy, loving environment. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, general grooming, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and using positive reinforcement training. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m very flexible with my schedule! My little man will be with me during any morning or day time visits so animals must be okay with children. I’m very attentive with my own animals. I make sure they don’t get into anything and pay close attention to their needs. In any circumstance I would provide the same level of care to someone else’s pet.

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 Elizabeth City 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.

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.
