Tessa was a wonderful sitter to my two cats while I was out of town. She always provided updates when she dropped in and I could tell my girls were in good hands! Came back to happy cats :) Would highly recommend Tessa!

Briana is so enthusiastic and caring for our boys. Our dogs love her and she went above and beyond to provide night relief, treats, and care during a particularly challenging summer when our old dog needed her the most. She is a true professional and I'd trust her with my dogs and house any time!

Kelsey was fantastic in every way! My dog is a senior who’s a bit reluctant to walk, and mine and my roommates’ schedules can get hectic. None of that was a problem for her. She was flexible, patient, communicative, and left detailed notes for each and every walk! I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future :]

Kelsie was amazing dropping in to check on our guinea pigs while we were away for several days. She was consistent with her timing, did great cleaning, and made sure everyone had hay/water/etc. Highly recommend her for small pets!

Danielle is amazing! She is extremely professional and communicative. She met up with me before the trip and took great care of my cat, Ellie. Ellie can be shy and cautious of new people but Danielle took her time and gave her lots of love, space, and patience. Can’t wait to book with her again!

About: I’ve always had animals in my younger life from cats to dogs, and even though I only have a cat I continue to love dogs. My current housing situation allows me to share dog sitting and caring of his clients dogs (ages 9 months to 14 years) for the last ten years. Since then I have asked my neighbors for tending to the needs of their dogs be it from a 5 mile walk on and off leash to a 100 yard potty break in addition to giving medications. I’m currently working part time three days a week and an occasional Saturday, so I have the time to care and interact for your furry friend. I live in a neighborhood with easy access to the Rivanna trails and a road trip access to a farm with woods in Earlysville for running in fields. I also have a very tolerant cat who actually enjoys dogs staying with me because she’s learned that visiting dogs often get a treat she’s earned one too. My house has hardwood floors on the first floor throughout access to the carpeted lower level is through a door. The dog would have free range of the house while we were at home and unless he/she is accustomed to be crated.

Dakota met us and our GS before we left town. We were very pleased and comfortable leaving our pet under his care. He didn't just drop in to feed and walk him, he also played with him. We will never use boarding. We will differently use Dakota again when needed.

About: Not only did I grow up with 2-3 dogs in the house, but my mom has worked for a dog rescue the last 10 years. My family has fostered more than 100 dogs ranging from newborn puppies to end of life care for senior dogs. I have helped with everything from feeding, cleaning, creating enrichment, and exercising dogs of all sizes and ages. I am currently taking time off of work before I move abroad for graduate school in September so am completely flexible! I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets health and happiness! I have a fenced in yard and two super docile and friendly spayed female dogs who have also spent extensive time with other dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I also have spent a lot of time caring for other people’s pets in their homes without issue.

About: I’m a true pet lover through and through! I grew up with animals and have always had at least two dogs in the house, each with their own personalities and needs—so I’m very comfortable providing attentive, individualized care. I’m currently a proud dog mom to a sweet 4-year-old Golden Retriever and a sassy 4-year-old cat, so I understand firsthand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s routine and personality. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm, reliable presence, I’m here to help. I know your fur babies are family, and I can’t wait to give them all the love and attention they deserve! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my days around making sure pets are cared for, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them attention and companionship. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to consistently show up for check-ins, walks, or overnight stays without feeling rushed. I’m used to structuring my day around animals’ needs, so adding additional pets into my routine feels very seamless. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, because I know consistency is important for their comfort and well-being. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I’m happy to accommodate what works best for you and your pet. I provide care directly in my client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. During each visit, I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets are safe, well-exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection while their owners are away. I also pay attention to keeping the home tidy and secure—cleaning up after pets as needed, refreshing water, and making sure doors and gates are properly closed. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home, so I prioritize reliability, respect, and clear communication with regular updates.

Lindsay is honest, communicative, reliable, and so wonderful with our two high energy dogs. Each weekend, she confirms with us which days she is able to let our dogs out, and has been so flexible with our chaotic schedule. Clearly Lindsay is great with dogs— even our shy pup quickly warmed up to her as we saw in her check-in photos. We are very grateful to have her as our walker and cannot recommend her enough!

About: I started dog sitting for pets in the neighborhood when I was 7 years old. Since then, I have loved taking care of pets, from walking and playing to just relaxing at home. I started using Rover while missing pets away at school, and I am excited to meet new pups in my new city after moving. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs with various disabilities, and I had my own golden retriever best friend all throughout childhood. My parents just brought home their very own puppy, so I have experience with young puppies as well as older fluffy friends. I recently moved to Denver, and while I search for a job as an RN, I have nothing but time to play with your dogs!

Huge thanks to Veronica for being such a wonderful pet sitter for my dog. She takes such great care of her, always pays attention to her needs, and has such a kind and positive attitude. She’s also super quick to reply to my messages, which I really appreciate. I even needed a last-minute extension for my booking and she handled it right away. I’m so thankful for her help!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Keswick on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 596 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Keswick. 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 Keswick 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Keswick choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Keswick with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Keswick. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
