“Destiny was wonderful! She sent us photos from every visit. She completed all the tasks we talked about. We would happily request her services again, as well as recommending her highly to anyone looking for pet care.”
About: I have experience rescuing cats and dogs and administering medication. I’ve also done house sitting and pet sitting for several homes. I enjoy running and playing with dogs to keep them active and happy, and I can also help them stay calm when needed. I offer walks up to 1 hour and can safely handle up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable cleaning up after pets, changing diapers if needed, and giving medication. I work Mondays and Wednesday–Friday from 7 to 3, and Saturdays from 3 to 11pm. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Sundays 😊 I adapt to each home and follow the owner’s preferences and routine for their pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or keeping their space clean. I always adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: I have had animals in my home ever since I can remember! I am a professional dog groomer of 4 years and am CPR certified. I have worked with many different dog breeds and temperaments, as well as senior dogs, puppies and special needs dogs. At the moment I am usually available during the day for walks and drop ins and I am available in the evening with prior notice. I offer in home pet sitting, walks and drop ins services. A typical day would include filling up water and food bowl, walks up to an hour, and play time of course! I can also provide as many photo or video updates as you would like.
About: Hi! I’m Jake, a second-year law student at William & Mary Law School and an avid animal lover. I grew up in a home that always had at least three dogs, along with cats, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Being around pets has always brought me so much joy, and I truly miss having them around every day. Since my roommates aren’t looking to have pets right now, Rover is the perfect way for me to spend time with amazing dogs and cats while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in great hands. As a law student, responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail are part of my daily life. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I keep a structured schedule that makes it easy to plan pet care into my day. I enjoy taking breaks from studying to get outside for walks, exercise, and fresh air, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or spending time playing with your pet, I’m happy to provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I also have flexibility during mornings, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with pets is one of my favorite ways to unwind from school while giving them plenty of love, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stick to their normal routine. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any specific preferences or routines your pet is used to. I make sure every visit includes plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and exercise based on your pet’s personality and energy level. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Sheryl was great with our dog and cat while we were away for the holidays. She was caring, attentive, and followed our instructions for medications to a T. I would definitely recommend to book with her!”
“Christine was very nice & caring with my boy simba! She updated me regularly & even sent pictures & videos. Simba had a great time in her care & I will definitely be booking again for future trips!”
About: Hello! I’ve worked with all types of animals since I was very young (particularly dogs and cats) and I enjoy every moment of it! Currently, I find myself in the Animal Care field, so I have a deeper understanding of not only basic needs, but veterinary care and animal behavior as well. I’m a pet parent myself, so I understand what it’s like to have a furry one in the care of others and I won’t hesitate to communicate as needed. Thanks for reading! I work full time Tuesdays through Saturdays. I have opening shifts (7:30am-4:00pm) and closing shifts (9am-5:30pm) that alternate starting with closing shift on Tuesdays. I can do drop-in visits in the early mornings and evenings, and if necessary (and close enough driving distance) I can drop in during my lunch hour (1-2:00pm). I will follow all instructions for each of the pet’s needs and I’m VERY careful about avoiding pets potentially running out of the house, as I have 2 little escape artists myself. At the owner’s home, I can let dogs out on their fenced-in yard (if they have one) or I can put on their leash/harness to take them outside to go potty. I will carefully follow all feeding and care directions and communicate quickly if I need clarification on anything. For cats, I’ll make sure litter boxes are clean and fresh and make sure they have clean water as well. If owners are away for some time, I’ll always try to engage with pets in playtime because I believe enrichment and play are part of good mental health and welfare for the animals and it keeps them happy :)
About: I have taken care of all types of animals for most of my life. Many friends and family rely on me for their pet needs. I currently work at Gloucester Mathews Humane Society. I am passionate about animal care and willing to help anyway I can to put your mind at ease. Currently, I offer pet care out of clients home. I am trustworthy and reliable individual and can care for your pets while you’re on vacation or work.
“Maecy was right on time and very professional and observant. She had a concern about our fireplace. And wasn't familiar with gas fireplaces. She spotted the pilot light and was concerned it may be abnormal. Reached out to me and her fathervwho explained it was perfectly normal. Rather error on the cautious side than not. Will definitely ask her back again.”
About: I offer peace of mind care to pets and their families when they are in my care! I have pet sat all kinds of pets from cats and dogs! I have well versed in caring for our beloved senior pets and taking care of more than one pet at a time! I come to you and your pet’s home so the pets can be more comfortable in their normal surroundings! I am currently a substitute teacher! I can shape my work schedule around the care for your pets! I am mostly available during the week and weekends. I care for your pets like they are my own! When I come into your home to watch your pets, I let them show me where they like to lay and all their toys. I go out in the yard with them when I let them out! I make sure everyone has enough water and eats all their food! I give treats at the appropriate times!
About: My name is Kayela but you can call me Kaye. I am a nurse in Virginia Beach. But my real other passion is animals. A year prior to going into human medicine, I worked in the I veterinary field as a veterinary technician/assistant. I actually had plans to go to vet school, and then Covid hit; my pathway changed a little. But I don’t want that to stop me from making a difference in the animal world. I worked in the professional veterinary field for 5 years. I worked with all breeds, species, shapes, and colors of animals. I’ve worked with large animals, small animals, diseased and disabled animals. Therefore it would no reason for me not to accept your pet. I have animals of my own as well, 1 large breed dogs and 1 domestic short hair cat. I will love your animals like my own, cuddling included. I do have an extensive history of skills related to animal care as well. If you or your family have animals questions, concerns, or just curiosity in general about your animals well being, feel free to ask! I am starting to build a small clientele currently. I am open right now. Schedule could change. But just message me and we can work something out. I care for my animals more than the average person, due to the fact that I have worked in the animal medicine field. I believe a lot of issues/illnesses are preventable based on how you care for your pet. They are treated like humans in my opinion. They deserve the same attention, the same outdoor time, the same affection. They will be fed accordingly. I will also provide food recommendations as well as portion sizes based on my assessment. You can choose to follow my recommendations or continue to follow your own advice. I believe I can be very helpful with you and your care for your pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Grove
Alexis was kind enough to check in on our kitties while we were out of town for a little over a week. We have a hard time leaving our cats as they’re used to someone being home with them all the time, but Alexis gave us all the reassurance we needed. She played with them using their favorite toys and provided us detailed updates. It’s clear from the pictures that our kitties adore her 🥰. It’s important to mention that Alexis took time out of a very special day for her to tend to our kitties, which I cannot thank her enough for. She is highly reliable! Alexis goes above and beyond, as she also cleaned up some broken pots outside that fell due to storm winds. I would highly recommend Alexis to watch any pet and will certainly be reaching out to her in the future when we go out of town.
Miss Genevieve was great. She arrived every day that we booked, sent me photos and communicated with me to update how the kitties were doing. It was extremely comforting having her drop in while we were away. She also retrieved an Amazon package that contained Feliway plug-in for the cats and set that up for them. Truly thankful for her services.

Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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 .
