“Our pups were so happy, cared for, and loved on!! Laurelyn did a great job communicating, sharing pictures, and updating us on the pups! Would definitely have her do this again for us.”
About: Hello! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to help with feeding, walks, check-ins, medications, playtime, and overnight care. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and patient, and I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. As both a pet owner and healthcare trained professional (prior military), I prioritize safety, communication, and making pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, feeding care, and check-ins throughout the day. I do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m dependable with communication, punctuality, and following detailed care instructions for each pet’s individual needs I care for every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box routines, and any household rules or special instructions provided by owners. I understand that both cats and dogs have different personalities and comfort levels, so I take a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind so you always know your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for (if requested).
“Renee was amazing. She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away from our babies. Our big pup can get anxious, but Renee was so great with her. And her communication was great! We miscounted the food we left and she communicated early enough that were able to order the food to the house without any interruption. Will for sure be using her for future bookings!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my experience growing up around a variety of pets, from small dogs like Chihuahuas to larger breeds like Boxers and Pit Bulls. I’ve also cared for Pugs, Poodles, ferrets, turtles, and fish, which has helped me appreciate that every animal has its own personality and needs. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, attention, and a safe, loving environment. Having had a dog of my own who meant the world to me, I understand that pets are family, and I want every owner to feel comfortable knowing their fur baby is being cared for with love and compassion. ❤️🐾 I work in the military during the week, with a typical schedule of 8 AM to 2 PM, which allows me to have afternoons available for pet care. I’m generally available on Saturdays and Sundays as well, unless I have a scheduled duty day. I value being dependable and communicating clearly, so I’ll always be upfront about my availability to make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in their own home, I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their familiar environment. I will follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and patience. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I will take the time to learn what works best for each one. I will also respect your home, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates and pictures so you can feel at ease knowing your fur baby is in good hands. To me, pets are family, and I will always treat them with the love and care they deserve. ❤️🐾
“Barbara was great, I felt so at ease while I was away from my cat Piper for the holidays. She was consistent and sent great pictures daily, with great communication throughout. Will definitely be booking her again”

I have only 1 corgi Louie in my my home .I have had up to 4 corgi's in my home in the past. I have pet sit for many friends when out of town.

I am use to training my dogs to walk if helpful to you. However i am not a certified dog trainer
“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: My dog of 12 years just died this summer. I'm looking to help other families and heal my heart by helping your family. I always struggled with finding family members or friends to watch my dog when I traveled. I understand how important it is to know you have someone taking care of your loved one. **I specialize in older dogs. The more particular they are, the better!!! :) I work full time and only take a 2-3 (max) families a month. I don't dog walk other dogs, just one family at a time. I go to the gym though and dinner in the evenings. I am already booking for February of 2025. Christmas and New Year's of 2024 are booked. I haven't decided if I'm working during Thanksgiving yet . I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I like to walk the doggies during my breaks and to get moving. I am looking to change my scenery from time to time and can plan my schedule according to your pet's needs, with enough time given. Whatever you say your dog needs, they will get. I respect your schedule, time, and diets. I understand that every dog is different and has unique needs.
“Maecy was right on time and very professional and observant. She had a concern about our fireplace. And wasn't familiar with gas fireplaces. She spotted the pilot light and was concerned it may be abnormal. Reached out to me and her fathervwho explained it was perfectly normal. Rather error on the cautious side than not. Will definitely ask her back again.”
About: I have many years of experience caring for family pets as well as raising beagle puppies from birth to adoption. I have experience working with dogs, cats and small birds. I am very attuned to animal body language and can read behavioral cues very well. I help care for my family dog by letting her outside for potty breaks throughout the day as well as feeding 2 times a day. I also spend quality time with her in the form of playing and walks My first priority in my day is to make sure the pets' needs are met so that they may be comfortable while I continue my daily tasks throughout the day. Feeding times are at regular intervals.
About: I’ve had a mixed American pit for 3 years until I moved out here to the Norfolk area. Have a strong love for dogs. I grew up with dogs for a while and I love taking care of all breeds. I am active military so I dont have the time to take care of my own dog during the day so I prefer to take care of other dogs due to not being able to have one but after hours usually around 4 and later, I have noting to do so I would love to use my free time in babysitting a dog or even walking a dog! I treated my dog as if it were a kid and did everything good and I would definitely treat anyone else’s dog with the same care as I did my own.
About: I have always had a love for pets! I got my latest dogther 5 years ago and she is a bundle of joy! Others may say I spoil her but I call it just loving her! ! All of my friends and family count on me to care for their pets while they are away and they know that they are in great hands and I will "spoil" their baby just as much as I do my own! I am a former Elementary school teacher. I’ve also worked with special needs children/adults. I am currently a life insurance broker and I work on my own schedule. Which will allow me to care for your pet anytime. I have a girl dog that is small, lovable, and will keep your fur baby company! I can also crate your dog if need be.
About: I've worked in animal welfare & shelters since 2015. I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats with various personalities and needs. I personally own 3 dogs and several cats all at various ages. One of my cats is disabled- and I've owned and worked with dogs and cats that have special needs (seziures, CH, deaf, blind), take daily medications, and possess specific breed traits/personalities that can't make them difficult to manage. Currently work close to home- I can provide limited boarding in home- dogs must be able to coexhist with cats, be able to be crated and/or left in a single room unattended with other dogs or in a crate, and be respectful of baby gates. I do have a separate space for cats that is easier to manage. Current cats in the home do free roam but there is an entire space devoted to the dogs in the home. Can crate and rotate as needed and care for up to 2 dogs if everyone can get along and the size of the dogs. I currently have 3 (4 when my bf dog stays over) large dogs all over 50#s. Visting dogs must be comfortable with large dogs. All dogs must be spayed or neutered. In your home I prefer to stick to as close of a routine that you provide them with- from their potty breaks to morning and evening walks. Staying as consistent as possible can help provide a relaxing trip for you and your pet.
“Lisa and her family took amazing care of our dog for the weekend. He loved all the time and love he received. They came a few days before to meet him, which really helped our dog be more friendly. They should lots of patience, when he just wanted to hide under the bed, which helped him eventually come out and play. Thank you”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young girl. I also have worked as a Veterinary Technician on Langley Air Force Base. I enjoy pet sitting all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I am retired and involved in some weekly activities, so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of pet sitting, not to mention the joy of being around pets. I am attentive, detail oriented and versatile. I believe in leaving things the way I found them, or better. I always strife to do my best at whatever I do, and I am a very trustworthy person.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14, caring for pets both in my own home and in their homes while their families are away. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members! I work from 8:00 AM–5:30 PM on weekdays, but I have a lengthy break during the day that gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. My evenings and weekends are also more flexible, allowing me to spend extra time making sure your pet gets the care, companionship, and exercise they need! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their space and making new friends. I also have an extra set of hands with my fiancé, Tyler, who is just as much of an animal lover as I am! When caring for pets in their own home, I’m happy to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment.

Ashley did such an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats, Nala & Luna!! She followed my instructions for their meds & food to a T! Both cats loved her & enjoyed their extra attention, treats, & playtime while we were away for a week! Ashley also brought any mail or packages in & took our trash & recycle out to the curb on pickup day. I thoroughly enjoyed all the updates & pictures at every drop in visit! We will definitely be having Ashley watch Nala & Luna again!! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Monroe is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 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 2,441 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Monroe. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Monroe. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
