Abbi, was thorough and followed every instruction I asked her to do with my senior special needs pup. She was also extremely flexible, which we needed unexpectedly. She provided me an update and I knew my boy was being taken care of. With him being special needs I need someone to be attentive to every detail of his care, she was and she put my mind further at ease when she followed up with me without asking. We will use Abbi again.

Rhianna took great care of our very shy, skittish cat. He usually hides when new people enter the apartment. She was able to find him each day and even sent me pictures! I’m happy with the care she gave our cat, Toast!

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.

Levi took great care of our pup while we were out adventuring for a couple days. She typically takes a bit of time to warm up to new people but the seemed to hit it off right away. Looking forward to booking Levi for the next time!

About: As a Vet student, I will be able to give the best possible care to your fur baby! Whether its giving medications or providing stimulating activities, I can do them all! I’m currently just a vet student who spends lots of time at home studying! I can watch your fur baby right after class with the knowledge of professional care fresh from my brain! I live in an apartment that contains a dog, a cat, and three birds! The yard lacks a fence but with supervision and on leash, pups would still have fun while taking potty breaks.

About: I've been a veterinary technician for 8 years so your pet will always be around someone who has a medical background. I've worked with everything from Horses to birds to livestock to dogs and cats and reptiles. I'm also certified Fear Free which means I know how to handle pets who are scared or anxious. You can never have a bad day when you're around animals. I'm very active and if your pet likes going for hikes or running around the park that sounds like a fun time for me too! I have a large car so taking them for a hike or a swim is never a problem. My background sets me apart from the rest. I can't wait to provide great care to your pets! I always have a slip lead with me. Meaning your pet will always be walked with two leashes for safety while out and about. My training that I’ve learned from being a veterinary technician also means that your pet has the best eyes on them at all times when I’m around. Right now my schedule is wide open as I just relocated back to Williamsburg! So I’m available pretty much any time and can do easy drop in visits or last minute needs. I always make note of the nearest animal emergency hospital, check in routinely with you, take photos and make sure you know your baby is in good hands. Given my medical background I am always on alert for any changes in behavior or physical ailments and know when something is serious or minor.

Chelsea did a wonderful job! She was greeted with a puke mess on the carpet to clean up. So sorry about that! Sienna did well--as much as she does when I'm gone. I'm sure she enjoyed getting out for a walk.

About: I have experience with all animal types including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds, pocket pets and some reptiles. I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs and 3 cats, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your pets and their needs while you are working, vacationing, etc. I can care for pets early before work, mid-day and late after work. On weekends my schedule can be more flexible depending on what activities I have going on. Any dogs that come into my home will be treated as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. Boarding dogs will have their own room to hang out in.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years. From playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, I know how to adjust my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, administering medications, crate training, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their dogs and cats, and I treat every animal like they’re my own—plenty of cuddles, playtime, and attention included! Whether your pet is full of energy or just enjoys lounging around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times. Pet care is just a natural part of my day. I’m used to building my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I make sure pets get their exercise, attention, and cuddles every single day, because I know how much those little things matter. Each week, I also set time aside for things like brushing, extra play, or whatever makes them happiest. Taking care of animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to. I care for pets like they’re part of the family! In my home, they’ll have a safe, cozy space with plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles. In your home, I follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for—whether that’s walks, meals, meds, or cuddle time. Every pet is unique, and I make sure they get the attention and affection they deserve. 💕🐾

About: I am an animal fanatic! I love animals more than I love people! I love to walk, play and cuddle. I have owned dogs from puppy to adult. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I work three days a week, which means I have plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m off on weekends and have two additional days off during the week (those days vary), so my schedule is pretty flexible. On my days off, I love spending time walking dogs, checking in on pets, and making sure they’re happy, loved, and well cared for. Even on my workdays, I’m available for morning, evening, or quick mid-day visits depending on your needs. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I always make time for it in my routine! 🐶🐱💛 About Me 🐾 Hi there! My name’s Audrey, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes pets make the world a better place (honestly, I like animals more than humans!). I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and I currently share my home with four amazing dogs and three sweet cats that I love dearly. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats — making sure your furry family members get all the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a fun walk to burn some energy, or just some company and cuddles, I’m here to help! I also have plenty of experience giving medications to both dogs and cats, including pills, topical treatments, and even more specific care needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in gentle, capable hands. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit so you can see how your pet is doing and feel connected while you’re away. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care that helps both you and your pets feel comfortable and happy. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make them feel right at home! 🐶🐱💕

About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine. With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lanexa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lanexa on Rover is $22.2 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 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 July 2026, there are 1,797 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lanexa. 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 Lanexa 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 Lanexa 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 Lanexa 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 Lanexa. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
