“Allison was a persistent caregiver for my 3 cats. I had an incorrect address issue initially, but she made sure my cats were still fed and cared for that evening, even going the extra mile to do so (literally and figuratively). She was descriptive with her updates, gave the kitties treats and pets, did regular litter box changes and tidying around the litter box area, made sure all food and water bowls were clean and full, and sent lots of pictures. She was quick to communicate even as I was travelling and took the best care of my cats. Recommend.”
“Thank you Annabella for helping us with Chonkers during our honeymoon. We appreciate you taking the time to get him to come out and get some human interaction while we are gone. He is a shy boy but he loves people when he gets the chance!”
“Melanie was absolutely awesome. She was so helpful with all of my needs, and she had no problem at all helping me out with extra issues that came up! She was very responsive and asked great questions, and she did an amazing job engaging with my cats and playing with / taking care of them. I felt at ease knowing she was there to take care of them, and I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I am very familiar with all types of dogs! I grew up with german shepherds and most recently have fostered a Great Pyrenees. I live a very active lifestyle and am looking to go on lots of walks with your fur baby! I love giving lots of attention and ensuring interactive time with the animals in my care. Use this link for $40 off your first Rover booking!!: https://www.rover.com/sit/nicolr34569 I'm currently working part-time and have a lot of time, especially during the day, to look after your pet(s). Just give me a heads up what your request is so I can take a look at my schedule. I can go on long or short walks (I prefer longer!) I will provide a safe environment and ensure your pet's needs are more than just met.
About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 160 pounds my entire life. I have owned chihuahua dachshund mix, akitas, huskies, and German shepherds; so I understand big breeds as well as smaller ones. I have helped family members and neighbors with their dogs growing up with house sitting and dog walking. I know how important furbabies are to families, and treat each and every one as I would my own. I currently work full time with every other Monday off. I go to work about 7 am and get home about 430 pm. I do have volleyball leagues on Monday Wednesday and Friday nights that I am gone for 2 hours between 6-11pm as it varies based on game time. I love to hike and be outside so taking the dogs for walks a non issue. I treat all furbabies as if they were my own. I adjust my schedule accordingly to accommodate the animals as best as I can. I have given insulin shots and medication to animals and am comfortable with it.
“Jynette helped us out last minute this week by walking our dog, Kirby. It didn’t take long for him to warm up to her! She was timely and so friendly during our meet and great. Highly recommend.”
“Lauren was really great, especially given our cat is very skiddish/scared and runs under the sofa at the slightest noise. Thank you for being caring and compassionate. When we go out of town again, Lauren will definitely be our selection. We highly recommend her.”
About: I've been dog sitting since covid; things have changed but not the love for animals. Since my start I've dog sat for a wide varity of dogs. Puppies, oldies, big, small. Some requiring a lot of attention to help distract them, some that just sit by the door waiting for their pawrents to come home. From medications to special diets, specific schedules and give attention if you have the extra time. I will treat your dog as my own! Something you can count on is they will be loved and well taken care of. Pet care is my top priority. Making sure they are fed on time and they get plenty of play time and walks while you are gone. I unfortunately can't accept pets into my home as I don't currently live alone. But I'm more than willing to stay over whenever you need me to.
“Kayce has been an amazing! She is the most prompt sitter! She immediately responds and goes above and beyond with communication. She sends updates and gives detailed responses. She took my request to watch my 3 cats on short notice and during the holidays. She was even willing to check on the cats more often because she thought it would make them more comfortable. I couldn’t recommend Kayce enough.”
“Julia did an excellent job taking care of Addie while we were away. She sent wonderful pictures and spent lots of time with Addie, who is a typical tortie and can be standoffish with strangers. Not so with Julia. We felt so good having her as our sitter and won't hesitate to book her again.”
About: I’m the family pet sitter because not only do I follow their routine but I make sure my sweeties are loved and entertained. I’m a nursing assistant part time so I have loads of hospitality experience! I’m a nursing assistant part time I’m usually working weekends which makes me more available during the week to stop by or even sit and entertain your sweeties! My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 3-5 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles.
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.
“Fergus (our cat) loves Virginia. He never purrs for anyone the way he purrs for her. When we got home today after being away for several days, my husband heard Fergus meowing through the door before we entered and said to me, "I pretty sure he's meowing 'Virginia! Virginia!' He's going to be so disappointed that it's us!" Virginia is great with Fergus, very kind to us, and has been just a perfect pet sitter.”
About: I have always had a love for animals since a small child. My exposure and interest for neighborhood animals and pets brought on opportunities for pet sitting in my community growing up. This love grew into a passion/career as I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for 10 years and received my bachelors in Agriculture at Virginia State University in 2020. My schedule is currently flexible until October 19, 2026 allowing me plenty of time to tend to your pet(s) in need! After September, I will be available Monday-Thursday 6pm to 9pm and Friday- Sunday 9am to 10p. I have my own fur baby by the name of Sebastian. He is a 6 year old Yorkshire Terrier who loves to socialize with people and pets. We currently live in a suburban neighborhood that will make you feel safe to leave your fur babies in my hands.
“We had a great experience with Marina! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we work such long hours. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: From wolfhounds to chihuahuas, I have petsat them all! I have experience with giving medicine, assisting senior dogs with mobility, exercising, playing, feeding, and giving all the affection needed. Petsitting would be split with my workday on Monday -Wednesday. I can come in the morning, during my lunch break, and spend as much time as needed after work with your pet. Friday through Sunday I can do as many visits and walks as necessary. It is safer and better to build trust with any animal if there is a meet & greet before petsitting. This helps me know the routines of your household and shows the pets that I'm not a stranger when I come to care for them. Sticking to the routines/key words they know, engaging them with praise, play, or treats, and letting the dog/cat have space when needed - are all ways to help your pet be at ease.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with pets. I had my own dog in Colombia for 7 years and also cared for a family’s dog for 4 years while working as a nanny. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving pets attention, and keeping their routines consistent. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like family. I also have experience caring for cats and currently share my home with two cats I work during the day, but I’m available for pet visits in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’ll make sure your pets receive the attention and care they need while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and following each pet’s individual routine and instructions. I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks and playtime for dogs, litter box care for cats, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep your home secure and send updates so you know your pets are safe and happy.
About: I provide my services exclusively to cat owners. While I find dogs delightful, I have not had any of my own and therefore I'm not comfortable pet-sitting dogs. I have plenty of flexibility at the moment! That being said, I'm not available during the following times for most of September and October: - Mon & Wed: 6pm - 9:30pm - Sat: 9am - 2pm I'm respectful of my client's home and pets. I always double check that all doors and windows are locked before leaving, a habit I picked up from having my own pets. I'm also keen on learning pets' personalities and play styles to ensure their comfort. For example, a skittish cat would hide from me, but may still enjoy my presence from a distance. These are just a few details that I would ask the owner before engaging in pet-sitting.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Grove
Darnell is exceptional and I can’t thank him enough for all the care and love he gave our cat babies. This was the first time we used this service, and we will definitely use this service again. Darnell sent us pictures every day, two times per day, and he went above and beyond. We also received a report card with cute little notes about our furry children. Thank you Darnell!
We had a great experience with Jessica and will definitely use her anytime we need a cat sitter. We were away for 5 days and she took excellent care of our 8 cats (including two 4 month old kittens). Jessica was very communicative and kept us informed if anything happened. After every visit, she sent photos of each cat and gave a summary of how the visit went. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our babies and was attentive to their individual needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. 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.
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 .
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.

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 .
