“Had a wonderful meet and greet with Brandon for my pup. Brandon was great in communication and just a joy to meet. Very obvious he loves dogs and takes this work seriously, which makes me less nervous to welcome someone new into our fold for the care of my big man 🐶. Booked for a walk and really appreciated the notes and special care of my dog and home during intimate weather. 10/10 ⭐️”
“Amy did a great job taking care of our cat. He was very happy and well cared for. We loved receiving his photo each day! We were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Amy also watered our plants for us. It was such a nice surprise!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for years whether in their house or at my own. I have a golden retriever of my own who is basically my child so I know the care per owners want for their fur babes or cats. Here to provide top notch walks or check-ins to make sure they are happy and healthy. I am currently home full time and can assist with needs on a day to day basis for your pet or whatever routine you may need. Walks will be whatever routes you approve or areas. Meals or treats can be given and bathroom breaks before and after meals. Wipe down of paws can be administered after rainy/muddy days.
About: I’ve had my Rottweiler, Robby, since 2018 and he’s been my best friend ever since. He’s big boy at 90lbs so I’ve had a lot of experience with larger breeds like him as well as smaller breeds because of my girlfriend’s Bischon Poodle. I feel like dogs truly deserve all the love in the world so I've been working at the Montgomery Country Animal Shelter walking dogs and doing overnight stays with them for the last 5 years. I even helped get a dog named Mercy adopted last year and that was one of my proudest moments. I am currently a full-time employee working at L3Harris. My hours are 8am to 5pm on weekdays but I also get every other Friday off. With your permission, I'd love to take your dog on a walk on trails in the Blacksburg area like the Huckleberry Trail. I love dogs of all sizes, but pitbulls have a special place in my heart.
“Danniellie did a great job visit my cats while I was out of the country. They seemed happy with their visits and not stressed at all upon my return. I would absolutely request that she visit my cats again in the future!”
“I highly recommend Camille! She was punctual and followed all of our directions. She managed the garage entry smoothly, ensured Taffy had her meal, and most importantly, made sure the feeding dishes were cleaned up afterward. It's a huge relief to find someone so attentive to detail. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hello there! I am currently open for new clients! My full time client just left us to head out west. We will miss them badly, but look forward to bringing on other pets.

I also have to be the ones that are 10 and 6 that are great little helpers. We have trails close by with lots of grassy areas to run around. We love long walks, play, & cuddles. No rules, your sweet pups are allowed wherever they’d like to go, but I do make sure all your rules and schedules are followed :) My weekly routine is simple. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to work around your schedule and attend to all your sweet pups needs I follow your schedule provided, but I also allow your pup to lead the way. If they want to play, we play. We take walks.

About: I have 2 rescue pitbulls at home and have a grandma that takes in rescue dogs freqently so I’ve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life! I no longer live at home so don’t get to see the pups as often in my new house and miss getting time around dogs but not quite ready for having my own. My job is remote and flexible as of right now so i’m happy to help and can move around a lot during the day to help. I have a big back yard and live near multiple parks and would be able to take them on many walks. I am also willing to spend and hangout at others houses for as much time as possible.
“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”

Ann did a great job checking in on our 4 month old puppy. The puppy seemed happier than normal days, so I think she liked the extra play time and attention Ann was able to give! We definitely look forward to booking Ann again for our mid-day needs in the future.

She managed the garage entry smoothly, ensured Taffy had her meal, and most importantly, made sure the feeding dishes were cleaned up afterward. It's a huge relief to find someone so attentive to detail. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 14,307 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gilberts Corner. 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.
