“Joanna is amazing! I have two rescues and they are not great with strangers. She was patient and kind and both dogs were fine within a few hours . She sent texts and pictures several times a day to keep me updated. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!”
“Kessie not only took the BEST care of my dog Remi but she also took great care of the house. My whole trip away I was at ease knowing he was in great hands and got lots of photos updates throughout the stay. Will definitely be using her again and would recommend to anyone looking for a loving “babysitter” for their four legged friend.”
“We have used Tabitha for drop in visits in the past and recently used her for house sitting while we were out of town. She did a great job as always and provided updates and photos during her stay. We will continue to use her again!!”
About: My number one priority is keeping your animals happy and safe, and my number two priority is making you feel comfortable knowing that your babies are in good hands. I have grown up with animals and have years of experience dog-walking and pet-sitting for all kinds of creatures, from dogs and cats to rabbits and reptiles and beyond. I have experience administrating pills to dogs and cats. I also have experience with dogs that have seizures or epilepsy. I work part-time at the library so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. Otherwise, my personal work is remote and flexible. I want to know and respect the rules of your house, whether the dog isn’t allowed on the couch, or the cat is restricted to a certain amount of treats, and so on.
“Janae was incredible! Our trip was a little crazy and she was flexible on both the front end and the back end. She took great care of our large breed, high maintenance doggos,and even went above and beyond when they were needing some extra care. Not only will we use Janae again, we would recommend her to anyone who worries a little extra when they are away from their pets (unless it interferes with our travel times-lol!) For your reference we have a 120 lbs Sheepadoodle (gentle giant) and an 85 lbs Goldendoodle rescue who struggles to warm up to people. Janae was over the top- she took in my packages, watered my plants, and took out our trash. 5 STARS!!!”
“Thank you Jared for taking such good care of Beau for the day. I really appreciate you taking this at last minute. I am sure he enjoyed his day with you! Hope to have you back again sometime!”
“Vanessa was wondering. Oz was so well taken care of. When I came home he was so calm and the place looked great. She was great with communication and updates. Would definitely book her again.”
“Anna did an amazing job watching my dog, Pearl! She was very respectful, responded quickly to all of my messages, and kept me updated throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing Pearl was in such caring and reliable hands. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I'd be happy to book with her again!”
“We are very thankful for Ross staying at our house and taking care of Rosie and Frank while we were out of town. He was always very prompt in responding to messages and sent updates with photos of the pets almost every day, which I greatly appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Ross again for future pet-sitting needs!”
“Haley did a wonderful job caring for my dog! She was professional, dependable, and attentive. I felt confident that my dog was in great hands and would gladly book with Haley again.”
“Annie was amazing!! She sent updates morning and evening with several pics and videos each time. She played outside with her and even did some training. Our Janie had a wonderful time with her!!”
“Christian is the most professional, empathetic, thoughtful, thorough pet sitter I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with. When I returned from an 8 day trip, my house felt like it had just been cleaned, my pets were happy and content and he left half a homemade bundt cake in the refrigerator! Additionally, he watered my husband’s many plants and flowers at least daily- they looked wonderful upon our return and the city was under a heat wave while we were away. He is a wonderful communicator and cares for your pets as if they were his own.”
“Jennifer is the sweetest, more caring sitter! Her daily photo updates made me feel like I wasn’t missing too much time from my baby girl. Nervo absolutely adores her and I know she can’t wait to see her again.”
“Jenna did a fabulous job house sitting for us!! Jack, Trixie, and Thea were loved on the entire weekend! I received tons of photos and timely updates. I highly recommend Jenna for any of your pet sitting/house sitting needs.”
“I'm so glad we found Kaitlyn! She was so wonderful with all of our animals, took great care of the house (cleaned up, stacked mail, took out trash), and sent lots of updates and pictures before I even had a chance to ask! I will definitely have her stay here again.”
About: Not only have I worked with animals my whole life I also work with dogs specifically with a rescue organization called AdoptMeBluegrass. I help with their animal care weekly and am part of their foster program. My family and my own dogs have welcomed hundreds of others into our home and always provide excellent care. I am a local landlord and typically only go out to work at the pet adoption center for AdoptMeBluegrass. I have no set work hours. I spend my time with the dogs. I have a double fenced property on a dead end street. Dogs love the 3/4 dedicated dog yard for them to play on our 6 acres of land. We have crates and can make your pet feel right at home. I’m a treats giver so let me know if there is something they can’t have or any other dietary restrictions. I can also come to your pet for services while you are away.
“Amber was very accommodating of our last minute request. We were glad to know our cat and dog were taken care of while we were away. She sent a few updates throughout the day and pictures were sent on request.”

Grace was an excellent pet sitter for our three cats. She was professional, responsible, and communicated clearly throughout our time away. We always knew how our cats were doing, which gave us peace of mind. She followed instructions carefully, was dependable, and treated our cats with genuine care. We would not hesitate to trust Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fincastle walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fincastle maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fincastle choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
