“Clara was prompt, professional and caring with our two dogs. We appreciated her communication and photos when we were gone. It was comforting to know she taking good care of our girls when we were visiting with family.”
About: I've helped raise my two family dogs! A Jack Russell Terrier and a Great Pyrenees. My family has had both since they were puppies so I have experience with puppy care! Having both breeds, I'm used to both small and large dogs. I have also been hired by family and friends to watch and walk their dogs while away on trips. I'm currently a college student and a part-time worker! I am able to find time in afternoons after my classes/shifts to take care of pets! I can do drop-ins to keep your pets daily routine uninterrupted! I am able to feed and replenish water bowls, take pets on potty breaks, and give some 1-1 attention!
“Finding Melissa and having her help care for and pamper Sky during these days has been a true blessing. Both my cat Sky and my family clicked with her immediately. Melissa is incredibly loving and empathetic, as well as helpful and proactive. She kept us posted on everything. We are so grateful for her excellent support. The fact that she is bilingual adds even more value to her work. Thank you so much, Melissa! 🙏🏼”
“Camila was great! We reached out last minute to set up a drop in visit for our golden retriever, Carson, and she was super quick to respond and set up a quick meet and greet later that same day. She took great care of our Carson, provided updates and pictures during their walk. We will definitely reach out to Camila next time we need a sitter!”
About: I grew up with lots of animals that always needed extra care and love. I also have taken care of seniors that need extra attention, patience, and medication. I just recently graduated cosmetology school so I’m taking time off in the mean time to explore other areas. I have open availability so my focus can be on your fur babies I keep plenty of toys and litter boxes around the home. I keep evening tidy and clean for my animals. I like to meet the animal first to make sure it’ll be a good fit and to ensure I am capable of taking care of them
“Willow is amazing, very passionate about animals and it shows with each visit. The pics she sent shows how happy my pets are to see her with every time she drops in! I will certainly have her watch them again!”
About: I’m a college student home for winter break looking to make some extra money over break. I have a love for animals and look forward to being able to take care of them over break. I’ve had and cared for my dog Maliyah (a Jack Russell) for 5 years and I have dog sat in the past for friends, family, and others. I also volunteer at pet smart back at my school in Radford Virginia. I clean out their cages, feed them, and play with them. I am responsible and and will provide your animals with the best care that I can while you are gone. I am trustworthy and will take care of your animals and your home to the best of my ability.
“I very much appreciate Jay! She is amazing and I can trust her with my fur baby! I like a card that she left with detailed info about my boy, what he did and if he ate. I feel so confident and Jay is very flexible with her schedule.”
“Grace is such a wonderful sitter, she’s reliable, always on time. She took care of our two kitties and they looked so happy being watched by Grace. We highly recommend her to anyone for dog sitting, she’s ABSOLUTELY AMAZING with cats 🐈⬛. Thank you so much Grace 🙏🙏🌹”
About: I’ve been dog/house sitting since I was about 12 years old. I went on to take Veterinary Medicine courses through my high school, while I interned at a local animal hospital. I then went on to work as a kennel tech at a boarding and daycare facility for a year, then moved to another vet to start putting my knowledge to the test! I am now enrolled and in my second year of online school to get my bachelors in Animal Health and Behavior, and I absolutely love my job as a vet tech assistant! I’m currently only working part time so I have more time for school, but I do have some extra time on my hands. There’s no better way to spend free time than playing with furry friends! I have plenty experience in basic dog/cat health, including handling aggressive, overly energetic, or untrained pets, as well as “breakout artists”, who might be prone to fence-jumping or getting out of kennels. During my experience working as a kennel tech, I learned many different ways to handle an array of behaviors.
About: I have been pet and house sitting since 2022. So far I have been pet sitting for friends and their friends, but I wanted to extend my services to the lovely people in my area. I grew up with a big dog as our family pet. Though he is no longer with us he was the perfect sassy addition to our family. Since I have started pet sitting I have had 4-legged clients of ALL sizes, we are talking teacup pup to 100+ lbs. I also have experience with all ages ranging from ~6months to senior and I understand their different needs and energy levels. I love to run and walk especially when a doggy friend tags along. I DO have experiment giving oral medications. I am an engineering student at GMU and my schedule can be a little funky compared to a typical 9-5. Please reach out to check my specific daily and long term availability! I take very great care for the safety of the animals that I watch over. I take special care when unleashing dogs to make sure that we are in a secure location (ex. Closed garage/door or fence). While on walks, even with friendly dogs, I try to stay away from others to prevent any potential incidents from happening. I also have experience with giving animals oral medication. I take close care to keep the medications on schedule and triple check that the medication was taken and not spit out (they can be sneaky sometimes).
About: I bring professional doggy daycare experience, so I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pups, managing different personalities, and keeping tails wagging! 🐶💕 Your fur baby will get the same loving, attentive care I give every dog. I’m dependable, organized, and enjoy staying active while providing pets with consistent attention, exercise, and care. My professional daycare experience has also prepared me to confidently manage dogs with different needs and personalities. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following their routines and specific needs. At my home, I have a large fenced-in yard for plenty of outdoor play, a spacious crate when needed, and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company! I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and love.
About: Hi! My name is Hatley; I’m a 25 year old high school history teacher in PWCS. I would love to walk/run/meander through anywhere around here with your dog, or even look after them at your home. I’ve been a trusted house sitter for dozens of pet owners in Northern Virginia for 3 years, and I'm confident that I am the best person for anyone to entrust their pup with. I volunteered and fostered for the Charlottesville-Albermarle SPCA throughout college with all breeds, temperaments, and ages of dogs. My family trained service dogs at my home in Northern Virginia for two years but have been an avid dog lover since my motor skills were coordinated enough to pet! I am very fit and have a fairy flexible schedule, so no matter what your dog needs, I have the time and capacity for it! My family’s dog Bodie was my best friend for 15.5 years until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge in August, and all I want to do is hang around with dogs (and make a few dollars doing it!) I am also proficient in Spanish and Russian. Si hablas principalmente español y necesitas que tu perro pase, por favor, ponte en contacto para que podamos hablar. Если вы говорите по-русски и хотите, чтобы ваша собака гуляла, пожалуйста, свяжитесь со мной, чтобы мы могли обсудить, что вам и вашей собаке нужно. As a teacher, I am up early, but that means home early! I will need to be in Woodbridge by 7AM and leave school right at 2:30PM. I am thoroughly attentive to the needs of any animal and special requests by clients. Having trained service dogs, I’m well equipped in safety training including how to handle reactive dogs, basic health and safety, and dog emergencies.

“Sandra did a phenomenal job caring for Yema while we were away! She treated her with so much care, kindness, and attention, which gave us great peace of mind during our time away. We especially appreciated the photos she provided with each visit—they allowed us to see how happy and well cared for Yema was. Sandra was dependable, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

Amanda did amazing job with administering subcutaneous fluid to my Yorkie! She took the time to help him feel relaxed before starting the procedure. We found some new ways to make the experience easy on him. I feel more relaxed about the whole procedure as well, seeing how she moves through the process!
Allie took great care of three kitties over the weekend for us. She was super communicative, and made sure we were aligned prior to booking on expectations for timing around work schedules and cat medication needs. I felt like the girls were in good hands, which made focusing on being present with family while away possible. 🥰 Thanks so much!
The process with Brenda was very smooth. She was flexible with our relatively last minute booking and the meet and greet went well. She is punctual and followed our exact routine. Most importantly, all 3 of my cats felt very comfortable around her. Will definitely be using her services again in the future!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review for Clara! Clara was absolutely wonderful with my babies, Venus and Urus! ❤️🐾 It means so much to have someone I can trust to care for them while I’m traveling. She took great care of my fur babies, and I truly appreciate her kindness, love, and attention to their needs. Finding someone you feel comfortable leaving your babies with is priceless, and I’m so grateful we found Clara! I’ll be traveling again in November and may need her services. We’re still trying to figure everything out, including whether the babies will be traveling with us. If they don’t come along, I would absolutely love for Clara to care for them again! 🐶💕 I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, dependable, and trustworthy to look after their fur babies! ❤️
Heather has been such a great help to us whenever we're out of town. We have two high-energy dogs who are always comfortable with her. She's wonderful with both our dogs and our cats, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing they're in good hands while we're away. We're very grateful to have her as our petsitter.
Shavedra took great care of our kitties! She sent daily updates and pictures. We didn't realize we were low on dry food, but she let us know in time for us to order delivery. We highly recommend her and will be asking her to sit for us in the future. Thank you, Shavedra!
Gabby was so kind and truly attentive with my dogs. She listened carefully to everything I shared about them and made me feel at ease right away. She responded quickly, arranged a meet‑up the day before, and was flexible with her time. My dogs took to her immediately, which says a lot. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with them.
Melissa took wonderful care of my two dogs and was reliable, communicative, and professional throughout the week while I was traveling. She even handled a few unexpected messes with kindness and without hesitation, which I truly appreciated. I came home to two happy dogs and would absolutely book Melissa again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hoadly is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 14,532 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hoadly. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hoadly. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
