“Lucas (Jorges son) treated our dogs to tons of snuggles and plenty of walks, he had good communication and held to our rather strict rules. When we came home our house exactly as we had left it. Lucas was very conscientious. (With the oversight of his parents). Our dogs were happy. Do not hesitate to reach out to Jorge.”

About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals, and caring for them quickly became second nature to me. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of making sure my pets were happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Whether it was feeding, grooming, training, or simply spending quality time with them, I always put my heart into making sure they felt loved and safe. Grooming & Hygiene Keeping my pets clean and well-groomed has always been a top priority. I’ve had plenty of experience brushing fur to prevent tangles, bathing dogs with pet-safe shampoos, trimming nails, and making sure their ears and teeth stay clean. I know how important regular grooming is—not just for a pet’s appearance, but for their overall health and comfort. Cleaning & Maintaining a Healthy Environment A clean space means a happy and healthy pet, so I’ve always been diligent about keeping my pets’ living areas tidy. Whether it’s scooping litter boxes, cleaning up fur, washing food and water bowls, or making sure their bedding is fresh and comfortable, I make sure they have a safe and sanitary space to live in. Training & Teaching Fun Tricks One of my favorite things about working with animals is training them. I love using positive reinforcement to teach cool tricks, from basic commands like sit and stay to more advanced skills like opening doors. I enjoy the challenge of working with different personalities and figuring out the best way to engage them in learning. I’ve also successfully potty trained puppies, using patience, consistency, and positive rewards to help them develop good habits. Personalized Pet Care Every pet is different, and I’ve always made it a priority to understand their unique personalities and needs. Some animals are energetic and love to run and play, while others are more relaxed and enjoy cuddle time. I make sure to cater to each pet’s preferences, providing the right balance of exercise, attention, and affection to keep them happy and comfortable. Patience & A Positive Attitude Caring for animals takes patience, and that’s something I have in abundance. Whether I’m working with a shy pet who needs time to warm up, a playful puppy full of energy, or a senior pet who needs extra care, I approach every situation with kindness and understanding. My bubbly and happy personality helps pets feel at ease, and I love creating a positive, loving environment for them. A Lifelong Love for Animals Because I grew up with pets, taking care of them isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of who I am. My experience with grooming, cleaning, training, and overall pet care has given me the skills and knowledge to ensure that every animal I look after feels safe, loved, and well cared for. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a happy, healthy pet, and I take pride in providing the best care possible for every furry friend in my life. I currently just moved to Richmond, Va with my fiancé. I do not currently have a job but I am looking to school to be a veterinarian. I am currently free a lot of the times. Sure! Here’s a detailed first-person summary of how you would take care of your clients’ pets: ⸻ Taking care of my clients’ pets is more than just a job—it’s a passion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. Daily Routine & Care Every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to each one accordingly. I begin by getting to know the pet’s personality, preferences, and any specific instructions from their owner. Feeding & Hydration I make sure pets are fed according to their specific dietary requirements, whether it’s dry kibble, wet food, or a raw diet. I pay close attention to portion sizes and feeding schedules to maintain their health and energy levels. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure to clean food and water bowls regularly to keep everything hygienic. Grooming & Hygiene Grooming is an essential part of a pet’s well-being. I brush their fur to keep it clean and free from tangles, especially for breeds that require frequent upkeep. If needed, I also provide baths using pet-safe shampoos, making sure to dry them thoroughly to avoid discomfort. Nail trimming, ear cleaning, and brushing their teeth are also part of my routine to ensure they stay healthy from head to tail. Bathroom Breaks & Cleaning For dogs, I take them out for regular bathroom breaks, following their usual schedule to prevent accidents and ensure their comfort. For cats, I scoop the litter box daily, replacing litter as needed to keep their space fresh and odor-free. Any pet messes, whether accidents or shedding, are promptly cleaned to maintain a clean and comfortable environment. Exercise & Playtime Physical activity is vital for a pet’s happiness and health. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or interactive play with their favorite toys. I adjust activities based on the pet’s age and energy level, ensuring they get the right balance of movement and stimulation. Cuddling & Social Interaction Beyond basic care, I provide plenty of love and affection. If a pet enjoys snuggles, I’m more than happy to have cuddle sessions to make them feel secure and cherished. For pets who prefer space, I respect their boundaries while still giving them companionship in a way they’re comfortable with. Special Care & Medication If a pet has any special needs, I ensure they receive the proper attention. This includes administering medications, following specific health protocols, or providing extra care for senior pets. I carefully follow any instructions given by the owner to make sure their pet’s health is always a priority. Going the Extra Mile I believe in treating pets like family, which means going beyond the basics. I send regular updates to owners with pictures and details about their pet’s day. I make sure to monitor their behavior for any signs of distress or illness and notify the owner immediately if anything seems off. At the heart of my work is a genuine love for animals. Whether it’s keeping them active, maintaining their hygiene, or simply giving them the attention they need, I ensure every pet in my care feels happy, comfortable, and loved. Would you like me to personalize this further for specific services you offer?

About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.

“Natalie took great care of our dog while we were away. I had some concerns leaving our dog with a stranger for the first time because he can be protective of his home. Natalie made the time to come meet our pup at a neutral spot and then headed to the home so he could get use to her in his environment. The meet and greet went well and our dog was excited to see her when she came to stay overnight. Natalie was very quick when returning my texts and calls. She took great care of our pup while we were away and we will use her again in the future.”

About: Hello, I’m Jose, a proud Marine veteran who’s had pets all my life—especially dogs. I understand the importance of reliable, responsible, and compassionate care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Currently, I have three German Shepherds who keep me on my toes, and I know exactly how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your dog when you’re away. With my military background, I’m highly disciplined, organized, and focused on providing the best care. Whether it’s taking your dog on a long walk, keeping them active with fetch, or simply giving them attention and cuddles, I ensure they’re always in safe hands. My experience with my own dogs has given me valuable insights into different dog behaviors, needs, and training techniques. You can rest easy knowing that I’ll provide personalized care for your pet, keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel comfortable and loved in your absence. Here’s an updated pet care experience for Rover that incorporates your work schedule: I understand how important it is to have flexibility when it comes to pet care. My work schedule is Thursday night into Sunday mornings, so I’m available to care for your pets all day Sunday through Wednesday. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or administering medications, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs during those days. My consistent availability during the week ensures your pet receives personalized, dependable care without the stress of interruptions. You can count on me to provide the same level of reliability and care that I give my own pets, ensuring they’re well-cared-for and happy. Whether your dog or cat needs companionship, exercise, or just a peaceful place to rest, I’ve got it covered! Even for boarding, I can make it work out even when I’m not home that your pet is taken care of. Note: Right now I am off work due to an injury and won’t be back until July. So I have more availability. With three German Shepherds of my own, I know how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for pets. I treat my animals like family, and I offer the same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. I live in a spacious single-family home with a fenced yard, providing your pet with plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. Whether it’s a game of fetch or some free time in the yard, I ensure they have the space to stretch their legs. When it’s time to rest, I provide a peaceful, comfortable playpen where your pet can recharge for the next round of fun. Safety is my top priority. I have cameras set up throughout the house so I can monitor your pet when no one is home, ensuring they’re always safe and content. Whether they’re playing in the yard or napping in their playpen, I’ll always be able to keep an eye on them and make sure they’re well taken care of. With a reliable and loving home environment, I’ll provide the same quality care and attention to your pet as I give my own. You can trust that your furry family member will feel right at home with me—safe, secure, and treated with the care they deserve.

Peyton is an absolutely phenomenal pet sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! We are her multi-repeat customer for great reason! I have multiple dogs, each with their own needs, including medications and a very specific diet and feeding schedule. Peyton follows every detail perfectly, giving me complete peace of mind whenever I’m away. What makes her truly special is how much she genuinely loves my dogs and cat. She treats them as if they were her own, and the feeling is absolutely mutual—they adore her! It’s clear that she goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. On top of that, Peyton is incredibly thoughtful and dependable. She brings in packages, keeps the house clean, and makes sure everything is tidied up after the pets. She takes care of the little things without ever needing to be asked, which makes such a difference. Finding someone you can trust with your beloved pets and your home is priceless, and Peyton is exactly that person. She is caring, responsible, detail-oriented, and truly exceptional at what she does. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like family and take care of everything with the utmost attention, Peyton is the best. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Garrisonville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Garrisonville is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $73 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 3,302 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Garrisonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Garrisonville 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 Garrisonville 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!

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.

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 .
