“Mercedez was absolutely wonderful with our terrible trio of cats. She dealt easily with the medical needs of our senior cat, including giving fluids several times. She also managed to coax out Manny, who doesn't like change and spooks easily, and get him to not only be in the same room but actually let her pet him. Moe was his usual attention-seeking self and she kept him happy too. Mercedez was great with communication and providing pictures the entire time we were gone. I strongly recommend her as a pet sitter and will certainly ask her to watch the cats again.”
“Super happy with the care provided for my dog and cat during the drop-in visit. Both were well taken care of. I had a last minute trip and June was available to assist. I appreciated the updates and photos, and it gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“From our initial conversation through the entire visit, Tammy was excellent! She took such good care of my cat (and home!), and I feel confident in recommending her to anyone in need of care. Thank you, so much, for being so kind to our nervous kitty!”
“Allison was such a wonderful caretaker for my cat! She really went above and beyond, cleaning up after him after he had an accident. Plus, she took photos and sent them to me while I was away, which was so sweet since I was missing him. I can’t recommend her pet care services enough - she deserves 5/5 stars!”
“Jacob is awesome! He walked Chip and Ellie and made sure to give our cat, Cowboy, attention too. He kept us updated with quick communication throughout the visit and left a detailed review afterward. He has super positive energy and our animals were so excited to meet him during our initial meet & greet. I would absolutely hire Jacob again and highly recommend him.”
“She was able to take my dog for a walk on a very short notice. We’ve used her before and she’s very reliable, respectful and responsible. I’m sure my doggie is happy to see her. Highly recommended.”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats of every kind since I was a young child. I grew up with the responsibilities of caring for several dogs and cats, and have been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to watch and love their animals for as long as I can remember. I have a lot of flexibility on the evenings and weekends to care for your babies. I work full-time in Leesburg, but I can build in mid-day walks for nearby homes. My evenings and available weekends can be dedicated to your pets. I will gladly follow your family's routine for your animals while you are away, and am responsible, tidy, and trustworthy in your home. I will abide by your requirements in terms of walks and adventures, and will keep your pets comfortable in their schedules and regular routines.
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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 20+ years and have always had a natural connection with them. I treat every dog like family—with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I’m dependable, attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and genuinely enjoy giving dogs the care and companionship they deserve. I have the most flexibility on Wednesdays and Thursdays and am available anytime those days. I’m also available in the late afternoon and evenings throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m responsible, respectful, and mindful of keeping your home secure, clean, and just as you left it. You can feel confident knowing both your pet and your home are in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: I have 2 dogs: Mina (8 year old Wheaten Terrier) and Halle (6 year old Boxer). I've had them both as puppies so I know what it's like to take care of dogs during those rough first few months. Halle also developed some anxiety so I have experience in dealing with leash reactive dogs and training them. I love all dogs and have taken care of friends' pets occasionally. I'm currently working on a hybrid schedule, so some days I work remote and am pretty flexible. On remote days, I'm able to work anywhere with wifi and can take care of dogs at the same time. My hours are also flexible so I am able to help almost any time and can take frequent breaks to walk or play with the dogs. I would ask lots of questions to make sure I know everything about when I can crate dogs, or if they can go to parks or dog parks.
“Megan took care of my cats while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job! She followed all my instructions carefully and gave me lots of updates. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I am a huge dog lover. I have experience of taking care and playing with all types of dogs. I have fostered over 6 different dogs (all different breeds and puppies) and pet sit for family and friends when I can. Currently I have moved back home and my parents don’t allow pets, so really missing the doggie love. I am currently working from 8am-4pm on weekdays. However, anytime after I am free to play with your fur babies. My weekends are typically free to take your dog out on a hike, playgrounds, or more! I love playing and offering cuddles with your fur baby. I will make sure that they have full bellies and get their exercise outside. And if needed I can tire them out for you with a long walk or run!
About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I have experience caring for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My own 14-year-old dog has taught me that every walk doesn't have to be fast to be meaningful, and I'm happy to match each pet's pace and individual needs. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own dog daily, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time together, I'm committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home. I have a gentle, friendly 14-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals. While I don't have a fenced yard, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise and outdoor time through regular leashed walks. I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and I'll do my best to keep them on the routine they're used to at home.
About: I've been around animals my entire life, growing up with dogs since I was 7 and having seven dogs throughout my family's life. My experience extends beyond dogs to cats, horses, cows, chickens, and pigs, so I'm comfortable around a variety of animals. I have most recently been trusted with helping my dear friend potty train and babysit her adorable 3 month old daushaund. I currently have a 5-year-old pit-bull dog, which has given me even more hands-on experience caring for and understanding dogs. We love to take long walks and visit the dog park. Due to some medical needs that my pup has, I have experience providing medications and applying skin care as needed. I know that every pet has their own needs and routine and I want every animal to feel safe and loved. I currently work 3, 12-hour shifts a week which allows for plenty of time to care for pups on my four days off from working. I make sure pets have a secure environment, use appropriate leashes and toys, and pay attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure safe/proper care.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for over ten years. We currently have a 2 year old yorkie who we love with all our heart so we’ll definitely treat your pup like our own. The whole family is home during the summer so there will be multiple people available to care and play with your dog. We live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with lots of trails that make for a fun walk. We’ll give your pet all the hugs, rubs, and cuddles to ensure they have an amazing and comfortable time while you are away. I am currently at home full time for the summer while my husband works from home. I also have two older teenagers at home for the summer so there’s plenty of people in our home to care and play with your pet! I have a great yard with a lot space to run and play in. Our community has amazing trails for long walks. We have plenty of toys for your pet to play with during the day and a friendly dog to keep your pet company. We’ll always send pictures and videos to keep you updated with how your pup is doing.
About: We are a family that loves 🐶. Dogs are my passion I have taken care of them like my own, I used to have 4 dogs and wanted even more, I walk my dog twice everyday and can take care of multiple dogs with equal attention, love and care, I’ve had very hyper dogs and very calm dogs and can take care of all dog sizes I’m currently unemployed so I’m free on all weekdays from 10am-8pm, I don’t mind taking in dogs if their owner is gone for a few days. I have a huge backyard that they will love, I cook special food that’s organic and healthy to help with my dogs diet, I groom my dog twice a week and can keep dogs separated easily if needed and take care of multiple dogs at the same time, and I can play with dogs for as long as the day is

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gilberts Corner
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.
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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Gilberts Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 14,173 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.

- 93% 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.
