Sammi did a great job watching my cat. She kept me updated daily and sent pictures. I definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs and will be asking her to watch my cat next time I'm out of town.

These girls went above and beyond when I had some additional requests while I was away. I 1000% recommend them to anyone that is looking for someone that will take the time to treat your pets like their own. Will definitely be using them for more worry-free vacations.

About: I've had experience with my own pets since I was 10 years old, and I have walked dogs and house sat occasionally as well. I raised and trained my cat from when he was a kitten and my dog from the moment he was born. I love animals, and I'm excited to work with yours! I'm looking for this to be my full time job, so I am available whenever you need me! I'm willing to visit/walk early mornings, late nights, and on weekends. For home visits, I am experienced with feeding, walking, and playing with pets. I am great at following instructions precisely, and I will stick to your pet's usual routine!

About: I have three dogs of myself and a rabbit! I’m previously from Arizona and I’ve had dogs for longer than I can remember. I have experience in taking care of elderly dogs (14+). Currently two of my dogs are with me in VA. I make sure to remove and sterilize shoes before entering the home. Just reach out and we can shot some time around and do a meet and great! Im a graduate student and my schedule is relatively free at the moment. Any type of changes to my schedule will be communicated. I can give more concrete times when given exact dates. I don't take pets in my home due to having two dogs myself. I make sure to sterilize shoes and hands before entering premises as a precaution for dogs with sensitive health.

I am available to house sit in your home, and able to take your dog on long walks. I love spending time outside, running, hiking, and enjoying nature and would love to do these things with your pet along side me. I have a lot of past experience with dogs and cats!

WEYERS CAVE, VA, 24486

About: My husband and I have rescued several dogs for many years. We had 8 elderly dogs at one point in our home. We currently have 3 dogs, which are walked many times a day. I currently work close to home, and am able to stay over at a client’s home if need be. I also have two grown daughters that would love to help walk dogs or cats and take care of them, provide attention and just spend time with them playing in the house. I am very responsible, am a professional careeer woman just seeking to make a little extra money doing something I love, being with animals. I can certainly provide personal references. I am currently working full-time Monday through Friday, but I am able to pet sit or house sit after work as well as on the weekends. I prefer the dogs I sit for to have harnesses instead of collars, as they provide more security. I also do light housekeeping in the home if requested.

Anya made our little cat feel right at home with her which is a big deal considering how anxious ours usually is. She also made sure everything in our place was in working order while we were gone and sent us prompt pictures.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Grottoes on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 817 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Grottoes. 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 Grottoes 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 Grottoes. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
