“Elisabeth did an amazing job house sitting for us. We received daily updates with pictures of our sweet girls. We already have her booked for future trips. Highly recommend Elisabeth.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages for several years. Pet sitting is a responsibility that I take seriously. I will care for your pet in the same capacity of caring for my own! I’m a full time graduate student. I am free during the evenings Sunday-Friday and additionally midday Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am available anytime on Saturdays. I work best when families tell me what to do with their pets! I follow directions precisely and will not leave you guessing what your pet is up to. I cannot keep pets at my house, but I am willing to house sit if/when necessary.
About: I provide a loving, reliable and stress-free environment for pets of all sizes, with years of hands on experience! I’m flexible, friendly and ready to meet all of your animals! I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5PM, but I love spending my free time caring for animals! I offer pet care before and after work, on weekends, and I’m happy to provide lunch-time drop-in visits for pets in the Waynesboro area. Dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small pets are all welcome!! 🐦🦎🐶🐱 I’d love the opportunity to help care for your furry, feathered, or scaly family members🖤🙌🏻 I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even when their family is away! I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide care that’s as familiar as possible😊 I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, fresh food/water, and any medications or special care they may need. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is in caring hands🥰🐾

Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated throughout their stay.she kelpt our home very clean. I highly recommend Destiny to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to watch their dogs. I will definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
About: I absolutely love animals and have had them through out my entire life. I have experience from working at “Dogtopia” to “Home away from home, dog boarding”. I understand the importance of family and would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have experience providing care for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and monitoring health. I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.
“We cannot recommend Mary enough!! We have been booking her for a few years now when we go away for a few days or on family vacations. She is super responsive, and our dog LOVES her. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he is being taken care of so well and is comfortable in our home with Mary. We are so lucky/appreciative of all of her help!”
“Great job by Karleigh. She was attentive and caring for our cat and dog and housesitting. She provided updates and ensured the house was well cared for. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Tiffanie was wonderful, helping us out on short notice, taking wonderful care of our home and dogs, and sending great updates throughout. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“Caitlynn was very professional and I knew our dogs were in good care. She gave updates and sent pictures/videos several times a day so I never had to worry about them. Very responsible and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking her in the future. Thank you C!”
“Michael was great with our dogs (one very high energy)! He was responsive and thorough even though I had limited cell service on our trip away. We will definitely book Michael again! Thank you!”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, pigs, peacocks. You name it. I’ve been a huge fan of animals since I can remember. I’m super active outside and love taking pups out on hikes or walks. My last dog had to take meds so I’m also extra sensitive to pups that may need more present care. I’ve dog sat and house sat for many years before and just recently decided to give rover a try. I’m also a photographer so pics of your sweet pea will be guaranteed! I’m a photographer so my schedule varies. Sometimes I’m on a shoot or at home editing. I work part time at a restaurant wed-Friday so am unavailable those evenings. I am generous with my love with pets if they want that. If they are shy I will absolutely listen to what they need and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I am clean and respectful of others’ space and strive to make sure your sweet pup gets the activities they deserve.
About: I’ve always loved animals. I am very patient, trustworthy, and reliable. Caring for animals is something I love to do! I can’t wait to watch your pet!! I do have a full-time job from 8am-4:30pm, so any care that is needed will need to be in the afternoons after 5:00pm, due to having to get my daughter from daycare after work. I will walk your fur baby whenever it is needed, feed pets based on the schedule you provide, and make sure they have plenty of play time.
“Toni was great! They were really responsive and sent lots of pictures, which I deeply appreciated. We had a great interaction when they first came to the house and it helped to build a lot of trust. We would 100% welcome them back to care for our fur babies ❤️”
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.
About: I have been owning pets since I was a child and I have loved animals in general ever since. I’ve cared for young animals to older animals I walk them and bathe them and I just love hanging out with animals! I go to school on Mondays and Tuesdays, and I have a job other days but I only work morning shifts and get off around 5:30–to 6:00 depending on the day! I unfortunately cannot have other animals in my house. I have 6 animals which include one dog and 5 cats, I have a fenced in yard where my dog hangs out to go potty and get some air and my cats have a lot of toys to play with! And I can do the same thing in your house with your fur children!
“Alexis was amazing with Brody and Marco while doing house sitting at my place. She was prompt and took the time needed for both of my dogs since they both have different needs. She gave the medications as instructed and gave my boy Marco the extra time he needs due to his past and getting comfortable with people. She even did extra things I didn’t ask her to do. Thank you so much Alexis and I will definitely be in touch again when I need someone!”
“Pam was a great dog sitter! She saved us! At the last minute, a Rover sitter canceled and I contacted Pam and she immediately came over and agreed to watch the dogs. I knew they were in good hands when I met her. She is kind and sent pictures while we were away. Pam we really appreciate you!”

Tiffanie is an excellent petsitter. We left our 14 year old dog and 2 year old cat with her when we went to a wedding, for 5 days. She was superb! She sent us pictures and asked us all of the right questions. She is calm and provided the perfect care for Leo and Max. They were happy and content when we got home. Tiffanie is very thoughtful of the pet owners. We will definitely request Tiffanie again and recommend her highly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ladd on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 442 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ladd. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ladd walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ladd maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Ladd 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ladd. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
