About: I’ve lived in a few different houses in my life, all full of pets! Currently I have seven in my home and I apply constant care to 2 of them! I’ve trained all of my dogs over the years to do tricks, and have some fun techniques for it now! I’m always up for elderly animal care as well, as I have lived with and cared for a handful of elderly dogs and cats in my time! I think my nurturing and love for animals sets me apart as well as my experience with so many of these pets! I’m currently a student at Longwood university! I will have lots of time after classes or on days off for plenty of pet care! I can’t work Sunday’s as I have to care for my grandmother, but I get out of school most afternoons with plenty of extra time for pet care! I care very attentively for pets in my home and others’ homes! I love taking my dogs for a walk, we have a fenced in yard as well, but I’m fine just walking them if no fence is present! I try to keep them company and play with them as much as I’m allowed, and of course would work to make sure I don’t stray from their comfort zone as I know sometimes animals can be upset at certain triggers!

About: I've been a dog owner my entire life! I've always had multiple pets but for the first time in my life we now only have 1 dog, Joby. Joby and I both miss having more furry friends around so Rover is the perfect solution! We have a HUGE fenced in back yard for Joby to play with her friends and we some times like to go on walks around the neighborhood during nice evenings. We also have three little humans with us, so we can only take in dogs who are comfortable with kids. My husband, Randy, also helps with caring for our clients. Your dog will receive tons of love and play from the entire family. Randy and I both work from home at the moment. We usually run out of the house for errands and appointments, but we can adjust based on the needs of any pup we are boarding. We have lots of space indoors and outdoors for the pups to play. We have plenty of space for a crate or beds. We like to go on walks around the neighborhood sometimes, but we can skip leaving the home if that is preferred. When the temperature is above 90 degrees we greatly limit the dogs' time outside to bathroom breaks during the day but we try to let them get some playtime in the morning.

Ashley did a great job looking after my two cats while I was away for the weekend. She sent plenty of pictures which I really enjoyed, and was very accommodating when I made a mistake with the apartment complex hours. Will definitely be asking for her help again when I travel!

About: early years, my family were training Morgans for the Kentucky Derby. It had been an exhilarating journey, one that beautifully intertwined skill, patience, and a profound bond with these majestic horses. Each horse is unique, deserving of personalized training that not only harnesses their incredible speed and agility but also fosters a deep connection between horse and trainer. As l've grown, my focus has shifted from merely training to cherishing those heartfelt connections, as they truly enrich my life. Alongside my passion for equine training, I find immense joy in the companionship of dogs and cats, nurturing their spirits It’s all I do - besides writing. I chose to step Away from The chaos of the world to care for my own well being by taking care of animals. With respect, kindness and love as I would expect in my own home and with my own pets. Pets bring joy and peace to my life.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and am very comfortable working with animals of all sizes and personalities. My mom spent many years rescuing and fostering dogs, which gave me valuable hands-on experience from a young age. I also have experience caring for children through both volunteer work and helping with family members. I’m dependable, communicative, and flexible with scheduling, and I take pride in providing a safe, caring, and positive experience for both pets and families. I have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits, walks, and pet care in your home. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with a variety of schedules. Having grown up around dogs and helping care for foster dogs through my mom’s rescue work, I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise routines, and any house rules you have in place. Having experience with both family pets and foster dogs, I understand that every animal is different and deserves patience, attention, and consistent care. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have had a variety of animals my whole life! I absolutely love being around animals and spending time with them. I have taken care of dogs of all ages, all the way from newborn to seniors! I am available on weekdays only. I do work a breakfast shift (5am-11am) Wednesday to Saturday. However, I am available the rest of the day! I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals and take care of their needs. I have a very large unfenced yard that would be great for leashed activities like walking and going potty. I also have a fenced area that’s perfect for some unleashed outdoor time. I would keep any pets inside most of the time to ensure safety while I am with them. I do have a crate that I could keep your pet in while I am at work (if your baby is crate trained). All animals are allowed to roam the house and sleep in the bed if that’s allowed at home!

Melissa was a fantastic cat sitter! She is a very caring individual who took very good care of our "baby", and was very kind, considerate and timely. She definitely has a great love of animals, and our cat was very well taken care of and loved. We would absolutely ask her to care for our cat in the future!

About: I am a stage 4 cancer survivor looking to turn my love of dogs into meaningful work that can pay my bills and help me rebuild my fuhds. Given clear and open communication, I can be somewhat flexible with my schedule. I have experience working with breeds such as beagles, German shepherds, and labrador retrievers. I am not looking to "just go through the motions" with pet sitting. Animals have always been a major priority in my life and I want to make sure your dogs are taken care of and enjoying themselves. I am usually available for afternoon and evening gigs. I am also willing and able to do overnight stays if given the proper notice to do so. I assess the pet's needs on a case by case basis. Some dogs are very laid back and only require food and bathroom breaks. For more energetic and/ or needier dogs, I am willing to do frequent walks and play with them. Also, I do currently still have an ileostomy bag attached to my stomach. For the most part, I am feeling healthier and dealing with less fatigue than when I initially had tumor removal surgery, but I feel like all of my clients should be aware of this from the jump. I feed my dog once when I wake up and again in the middle of the day. I also let him out frequently based on physical and vocal cues. For lazier dogs, I can do a variety of relaxing activities with them in my sight. As for more energetic dogs, I love playing with them in their yard or taking them for neighborhood walks.

Micaela is excellent. She is reliable, consistent and communicative. She lets me know how Bodhi did during each visit, sends photos and she’s very patient with the temperament of our grumpy cat. Much appreciated her support while away and hoping to have her in the future.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Farmville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Farmville on Rover is $16.05 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 81 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Farmville. 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 Farmville 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
