“Laurelyn was wonderful! We needed last minute help with our cat while we were out of town and she was very responsive and made sure our cat was well taken care of during her drop-in! We are thankful for her help and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Wow, what an incredible help! She stayed the full hours, took my babies on walks, and played with them even in the heat! My two boys adored her. She had incredible patience. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I love helping people and if that means caring for their fur babies while they’re gone, then I’m more than happy to help! I’m always the first person my friends/family call when they need a sitter! I work at a dental office so I have more than enough time after work to care for pets! I will be in school starting the end of August so I’ll have even more time! I have 2 cats that are strictly indoor. They are fed Costco rotisserie chicken every morning and dry food in the evening. I also take them on walks in their backpack as long as the weather is nice.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and absolutely love animals! 🐶🐱 I have pets of my own and have cared for and pet-sat for friends and family over the years. I’ll treat your fur babies like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care during walks or drop-in visits! 🐾 I currently volunteer at a food pantry 2–3 times a week, which leaves me with plenty of flexibility to walk and care for your pets! For drop-in visits, I’ll give your pets plenty of love and attention, along with fresh food and water, playtime, and anything else they need. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets exercise, fresh air, and lots of happy tail wags!
“Kimberly really took a load off my mind while I was away. I was traveling with my Mother and I was able to concentrate on making her experience great instead of worrying about my pup back home. I would recommend Kimberly to anyone who needs a compassionate, trustworthy care taker for their pets. I was very pleased with her service... A+++++ ;-))”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and know firsthand what it means to love a pet like family. Over the past two years, I’ve had the joy of regularly pet sitting for two rescue dogs, giving them the patience, comfort, and care they deserve. I also look after a close friend’s pets and check in on a cat whenever her owner is away on weekend trips. Whether your pet needs a walk, a sleepover, or just some company while you’re gone, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Your furry family members are in good hands! I work part-time at my own business, which gives me the flexibility throughout the week to step away and check in on your pets whenever needed. I’m also available on weekends for house sitting and dog walking, making it easy to accommodate your schedule — whether it’s a quick weekday visit or a full weekend stay. You can count on me to be there when it matters most! I follow your pet’s routine — feeding schedules, medications, walks and playtime for dogs. For cats, I provide in-home care, litter cleaning and feedings.
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.
About: I love animals, and I would love to start getting out of my house more. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12, and would love to get back into it. I am good at basic training things such as : sit, stay, lay down, and I can also teach them to play dead. I don't mind feeding them or bathing them either. I can't wait to meet your fury companions! I have two littles and would love for us to start getting out of the house. I am basically always free, and would love to take care of your fury family members! I have fenced yard if I were to have your pet at my home. I also have a female dog who is super energetic while outside. I own a dog crate as well, just in case. Depending what I am booked for, I love to play with all pets. Usually if I have time during a booking I will play and give pets to my clients as if they were my own.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life! I will treat your furbabies as my own. I’m excited to get out there and get my steps in with a new furry friend. I currently work full time from home. I love to go on walks every morning and evening. While home, my doggies have a big backyard to roam. I have a large fenced in backyard for my furry visitors. If I am coming to your house, I’ll be sure to treat your home with respect.
About: Hi! I'm Kiarra and I live in Hampton, Va. I have two fur-children, Crimson & Bama. I have had animals all my life and adore caring for them. Please read before requesting booking!! - I do require a meet and greet for first time clients. - Dogs must come with a crate and a leash - Dogs are free to roam all day. However, if I leave the home they will be put in cages. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I currently work full time. However, I am able to come home throughtout the day to walk my dogs. After work, my dogs and I always go for long walks or the dog park. I have two friendly fur-babies that would love to keep your babies company. When I need to leave the home, I make sure all dogs are secured properly.
About: I’ve been trusted with homes and pets since 2008, when house sitting first came into my life organically through friends and people I knew who traveled. They needed someone dependable to stay in their homes, care for their pets, and keep an eye on things while they were away. Long before I knew professional house sitting was a thing, I was already doing it. My hands on pet care experience became even more personal when I became the primary caregiver for Angel, my senior Shih Tzu. I managed her complete day to day care, including feeding, walks, bathing, grooming appointments, veterinary visits, medication administration, companionship, and the changing needs that come with caring for an older dog. Today, I bring that same patience and attentiveness to the pets entrusted to me through professional house sitting. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medication, maintaining established routines, providing companionship, and adapting my care to each pet’s individual personality and needs. But what truly distinguishes me is everything else I bring through the front door. I’m a U.S. Air Force disabled veteran and retired IT professional with 26 years of experience. My career included systems engineering, cybersecurity, incident response, and positions requiring a Top Secret security clearance. I’m also a former real estate professional and longtime homeowner with firsthand experience managing renovations, repairs, contractors, maintenance, and the unexpected situations that come with caring for a property. That experience matters when you’re trusting someone with your home and pets. If something doesn’t look right, I notice. If detailed instructions need to be followed, I follow them. If something unexpected happens, I know how to assess the situation, communicate clearly, and determine when immediate attention is needed. I understand privacy, security, accountability, and what it means to be trusted with someone else’s property. I don’t simply stay in your home and feed your pets. I tend to what you’ve entrusted to me, your pets, your home, their routines, and the everyday details that allow you to leave with confidence. Because you’re not simply trusting someone to feed the dog. You’re trusting someone with your home and a member of your family. You roam. I tend. 🏡🐾🌍 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide attentive house and pet sitting based on each client’s needs. I work to maintain your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines while you’re away. Because I stay in your home, I can provide consistent companionship and care while also keeping an eye on your home and everyday details. I provide attentive, individualized care based on each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, medication when needed, and plenty of attention. I follow the pet parent’s instructions closely and prioritize maintaining a safe, comfortable, and calm environment throughout their stay.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Monroe
Just so thankful for the way Laurelyn treats our senior cat like he is her own. She is honestly The Best! She provides in-depth updates (with humor) and always goes above and beyond. It’s such a reassuring feeling when we’re out of town to know that our little man has someone looking out for him.
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
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
