About: I've had a dog since I was ten, and today three cats and a dog share my home right alongside me. Living with four animals under one roof means I know their routines, their moods, and their quirks by heart, and I understand exactly how much it matters to trust the right person with something that personal. That same instinct shows up in how I work. I'm a checklist person by nature: feeding times, routines, and quirks followed exactly as given, and you'll get daily photos and videos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I'm a college student with mostly online classes, so my schedule bends around your pet instead of the other way around. I'm free for house sitting stays and drop-in visits any day of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I confirm bookings a few days ahead so you know I'm locked in well before you leave. No shift to clock into, no class to rush home for, just consistent, dependable time for whatever your pet actually needs. I offer house sitting and drop-in visits, which means your pet never has to leave home, no new house, no new animals, nothing unfamiliar on top of you already being away. I stick to their existing feeding, walk, and routine schedule exactly as you've set it, and keep the house locked up and lived-in while you're gone. I come to your pet's world instead of asking your pet to adjust to mine, giving them my full, undivided attention until you're back.

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, a 10 mile run, relaxing companionship, or attentive care and routine, I’m happy to provide a safe and comfortable experience while you’re away. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to visit and play with your pets! I'm available at most times, 7 days a week. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. In my home, I provide a safe, supervised environment that is clean and has plenty of open space. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings while keeping their space clean and secure. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see that your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: Hello, my name is Braeden, and I can't wait to have your pup or kitty as an honorary member of my home. I have a huge heart for dogs and cats of all breeds! Growing up my dream job was to be a vet; I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of animals for years. I’ve also logged over 60 volunteer hours with my local animal shelter. I had my late dog, Briley, for 10 amazing years, so I’m very experienced. All the snuggles are welcomed! I work from home during the week so I can provide lots of care and specialized attention for your dog while you are away. My goal is to provide a safe and loving environment that local dog owners in VA can trust when they are in need. I live in the Barracks Road area, so there are a lot of great parks nearby. While not required, I am able to do a meet and greet upon request. I’m a 100% remote worker, so I stay home when I’m pet sitting. Feel free to just reach out, and we can figure something out! My place is full of love for your fur baby. My home is full of treats and sweet surprises, you your baby will feel right at home.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Free Union

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Free Union on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 880 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Free Union. 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 Free Union 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 Free Union. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
