About: I have years of experience providing pet care, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. I’m passionate about training, exercise, and creating fun, safe environments for pets. My care style includes plenty of attention, playtime, and understanding each pet's needs. I’m also comfortable with special needs pets or those requiring medication. I’m an animal lover who enjoys giving pets the time and care they deserve. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly, as I’m flexible and dedicated to making sure every pet is treated with kindness and respect. I have college level classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays but that does not make me any less flexible. For pet-sitting in your home, I ensure it’s a safe space, following any guidelines or routines pets are used to. Your pet’s safety is my top priority.

About: I grew up taking care of my family dog and cats, and have cared for my own dogs and cats for the past 7 years. I have owned chickens since the beginning of 2022. Pets are part of the family, and if they stay with me, they will be treated as such! I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule that allows me to take breaks throughout the day, which I use to take my dogs outside. I am also able to spend all day with my animals and any animals I would board. After getting off work, I love taking walks outside with my dogs. I have a fenced in park 2 minutes down the road from my house where I take my dogs to run unleashed. I have a upstairs and a downstairs that would allow for me to spend one-on-one time with a boarded pet and keep them separated from my own animals.

We love hosting pets and will treat them like our own. Im always home so let’s can stay on their normal schedules and have someone around while you’re gone. Feel free to message me with any questions! I also have experience with medications, including injectable ones. When your pup comes to stay with us we ask that you bring; their food, treats, favorite toys/bones, bed or blanket, crate (if you use one), bowls, and a leash. Or anything that might make your dogs stay easier! :)

Adrianna was great to work with and quick to respond to any communication. She had a calm presence that immediately soothed our dogs, including an anxious older dog. We were very comfortable leaving them in her hands for the weekend. Will book again!

About: The benefits of dogs swimming are tremendous! Whether it's releasing energy in younger pups or offering joint pain relief in seniors, I am excited to offer dog swimming as a service in my outdoor pool. This service includes pickup/drop-off, a half an hour swim with life jacket, one on one swim coaching, picture and/or video of your pup and a post swim shower. This service is listed under Doggy Day Care for $100. Feel free to message me with any questions or set up a meet and greet at your house. I have completed training as a dog groom technician and work part time at a local grooming salon. I have experience in handling dogs of any age, especially seniors. I understand the extra care and attention senior pups should have. I also love the energy in younger pups and embrace the opportunity to provide them with effective, yet enjoyable exercise. In addition to walking dogs, I am also a trained dog groomer technician. This allows me flexibility to accommodate various scheduling needs. Feel free to message me with any questions regarding scheduling or availability. The safety of your pet is my first priority. I will only take on one client per visit and will only handle two or more dogs if they live in the same home.

About: Growing up on a dairy farm, I learned the ropes of animal care early on! With a childhood filled with wagging tails and playful pups, I’ve always had a passion for pets. With the occasional hedgehog, mouse, or lizard of course. Now, I share my home with one cat and two dogs who keep my heart and schedule full. I can’t wait to bring that same love and energy to your furry friends! 🐾❤️ Right now I’m training for a new job and my schedule constantly changes. My shifts are only during the day and don’t last more then 8 hours. I’m always on social media so I’m constantly seeing new toys and gadgets for cats enrichment. I always do my research before buying but I try just about anything with good reviews for my kitties! If they don’t like it I have many friend with cats who can just try it out but I try to pay close attention to what my cats enjoy and work around them. My one cat who isn’t as active enjoys toys with hidden treats but my super energetic cat loves lasers so I have both in basically every drawer of the house. I’m young but still don’t plan on kids so my fur babies are my kids.

About: My love for animals began on my grandpas farm in NJ. From as young as I can remember we always had pets, from dogs to farm animals to mice you name it we had it. As I grew and started my own family we have always had dogs and cats. I now work full time as a veterinary technician and I am also a full time dog trainer. I have been training dogs for over 20 years. I am a certified K9 handler and also certified in K9 CPR. I would go before I go into work in the morning and let your pup out, feed and do some enrichment. Then go during my lunchtime and twice in the evening. If I have client dogs at my home I generally do not allow my dogs to have contact with clients dogs. My dogs are crated where they feel comfortable

We couldn’t be any happier with the love and care Erica gave to our two dogs today. She sent lots of pictures, reviewed her visits, left a sweet card and brought them a toy each. We had no worries that they were looking bed and well cared for! I would highly recommend her!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! To me, dogs are family, they deserve to be treated like like prince or princess they are. I’ll love your pup like my own, I’ll play with them, and I’ll make sure they’re in the best care possible! I’ve been mainly around small breeds (chihuahuas, Pomeranians, dachshund, and certain mixed breeds) but I will love any dog of any breed or size! I’ve always loved taking care of animals and giving them a disgustingly amount of love (haha). I’ve nursed puppies back to health and I’ve spent the final moments with senior dogs making the most of their final days. I would love to meet your dog and your family! I’m available almost always and can be flexible with my schedule, if you need me I’m there! I look forward to meeting your precious puppy and your family! :-)

Jessie was amazing! Our two senior adopted kitties were quite timid when she first met them. By the end of the first visit, she had them playing with toys and they allowed her to brush them. She was able to give a pill to one of our cats -- something others have been challenged by. I'm so happy we found Jessie. I will have total peace of mind the next time we travel if Jessie is with our kids!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Ferrum

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ferrum on Rover is $16.65 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 479 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ferrum. 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 Ferrum 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 Ferrum. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
