“Meagan was great. I’m usually pretty anxious about leaving the dogs behind for trips but it helped knowing that they were in great hands with Meagan. She was super communicative and provided tons of great photos and updates. I would recommend her to anyone for their pet care needs as I know she’ll give her upmost care and attention to any pet. Thanks Meagan!”
About: I have had animals since I was a child. There’s not been a time in my adult life that I haven’t had pets. My husband was a dog trainer in the military for 11 years and has been evicted for the last 10 years. We currently have three dogs and two cats and they are well loved and well cared for. I am currently in the military and I have been for 18 years. Therefore, I understand the struggles of having a pet and having to leave at her moments notice and not having family around to help you. So I would love to hope any families care for their animal babies. I have a fenced yard. I have dog kennels andI have cat kennels to keep the dogs and cats safe. Additionally, all my animals are microchip.
About: I've cared for pets a majority of my life not only my own pets but between family, friends, and previous co-worker helping in anyway I can. I have 6 years experience training working dogs. I have training and experience in first aid with dogs. I can check on pets however frequently needed, I am also available for walks and play. I can always adjust my schedule if needed, but if I can't for some reason I will communicate that. I can either let your dogs out in your backyard or I can take them on walks to go to the bathroom. I will follow all instructions given to me.
“Rodney was great! We had a last-minute out-of-town event and he showed up for us big time. Our dog, Blu, was very well taken care of and enjoyed her time with him. Glad to have found him, and we will definitely be rebooking soon. 😊”
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to birds and horses since I was a young girl. My neighbors have trusted me with pet care for years. I most recently have been working for a pet sitting company in North Carolina before moving to Virginia and received multiple five star reviews. I can assure you your pets will be well taken care of as I treat them as they are my own. I currently have a full time job with two to three full days off and lots of flexibility during the mornings and late evenings to stop in and do visits. I care for pets in my client’s home and I treat them as my own by making sure they get plenty of attention and playtime. I will take care of the animal’s needs like they are my pets keeping their health and safety my priority.
About: Hello! I’ve worked with all types of animals since I was very young (particularly dogs and cats) and I enjoy every moment of it! Currently, I find myself in the Animal Care field, so I have a deeper understanding of not only basic needs, but veterinary care and animal behavior as well. I’m a pet parent myself, so I understand what it’s like to have a furry one in the care of others and I won’t hesitate to communicate as needed. Thanks for reading! I work full time Tuesdays through Saturdays. I have opening shifts (7:30am-4:00pm) and closing shifts (9am-5:30pm) that alternate starting with closing shift on Tuesdays. I can do drop-in visits in the early mornings and evenings, and if necessary (and close enough driving distance) I can drop in during my lunch hour (1-2:00pm). I will follow all instructions for each of the pet’s needs and I’m VERY careful about avoiding pets potentially running out of the house, as I have 2 little escape artists myself. At the owner’s home, I can let dogs out on their fenced-in yard (if they have one) or I can put on their leash/harness to take them outside to go potty. I will carefully follow all feeding and care directions and communicate quickly if I need clarification on anything. For cats, I’ll make sure litter boxes are clean and fresh and make sure they have clean water as well. If owners are away for some time, I’ll always try to engage with pets in playtime because I believe enrichment and play are part of good mental health and welfare for the animals and it keeps them happy :)
“Super reliable and very friendly to us and our pup! Really appreciate the efforts during our initial meetings to make sure our buddy was comfortable. Now they are like old friends and it’s only been a few visits!”
“Alesscia took such great care of my babies and sent so many wonderful pictures. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the care, updates, photos, and love shown to Drifter and Moscow.”
“April was easy to communicate with before and during the drop ins. She sent active pics of walking my pups and helped with my rabbit too! Highly recommend and will use her services again!”
“Holli took excellent care of our two dogs! She was very attentive and kept us updated. We loved the pictures she sent. One of our dogs needs medication and she didn't mind at all. We definitely recommend her and she will be our go to for any future trips.”
“Laura was great with our cat. Laura’s communication was great during the drop-ins checks we need for our cat. The pictures she sent really made me happy. My husband and I felt safe with Laura in our home and came back home to a happy cat☺️ I hope we can book her again.”
“Monica is the best, she’s the Rover momma that other Rover mommas pick for their fur babies! My fat cat adores her and does so much better when I travel if Monica comes by. He has made it very obvious that he is Monica’s biggest fan!”

“Alexis was kind enough to check in on our kitties while we were out of town for a little over a week. We have a hard time leaving our cats as they’re used to someone being home with them all the time, but Alexis gave us all the reassurance we needed. She played with them using their favorite toys and provided us detailed updates. It’s clear from the pictures that our kitties adore her 🥰. It’s important to mention that Alexis took time out of a very special day for her to tend to our kitties, which I cannot thank her enough for. She is highly reliable! Alexis goes above and beyond, as she also cleaned up some broken pots outside that fell due to storm winds. I would highly recommend Alexis to watch any pet and will certainly be reaching out to her in the future when we go out of town.”

Paityn did a great job with my kitties. she sent a report every time she visited the house. our one cat's insulin was administered properly. and as a bonus she brought in our mail and packages AND put away our trash can. The cats seemed content and happy when we returned home. I would hire her again.
My absolute favorite pup sitter ever! We had a loss in the family and with almost no notice he reached out letting me know he could help. He also went above and beyond making sure each of my dogs got out door time, special attention, treats, their medication and fresh food and water. Genuinely just a wonderful human. Thank you for everything you do! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sydney did an outstanding job taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town for a week. She arranged a meet and greet before we left, which made me much more comfortable as a pet parent having met the person who would be caring for my fur babies in my absence. It also allowed my very tentative husky a chance to see her before her first official visit. She arrived on time and stayed the full duration every day, spending time with the dogs and sending me detailed updates and pictures every visit, relieving my stress over leaving them and allowing me to relax and actually enjoy the trip. One of our dogs was sick just before we left and on a prescription medicine and special diet. Sydney was flexible with the change and comfortable giving the meds as prescribed. She updated us on how the medications were going and how Whiskey was doing. She even went above and beyond without hesitation and brought the trash can in from the road for me and some packages that were delivered while we were gone. Sydney’s dedication and kindness towards our dogs made their week easier too. I highly recommend Sydney and will definitely request her care for our babies during future trips!
Luisa provided incredible care for my pup, Leila, during the Holiday season. She went above and beyond every visit; consistently kept me informed with thoughtful updates. Her dedication and reliability far exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Eustis is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $23 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,607 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Eustis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 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.
