“Emma was wonderful from the first day we communicated!! Very responsive and my dogs could not have loved her more! They were very well cared for while we were away and we’re grateful to have found her!”

“Danielle was so good, I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and will recommend her every chance I get. She went above and beyond in her drop in visits and had such a great attitude. My shy kitty really loved her!!”

About: Hi, I’m Sarah, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! Growing up surrounded by pets, I learned early on how to provide the best care, love, and attention to furry family members. I’m the proud dog mom of two incredible pups: Stella, my energetic Labrador, and Hank, my playful Corgi. Raising them has given me firsthand experience managing high energy, playfulness, and ensuring their health and happiness. Alongside my experience with dogs, I’ve also cared for my father- and mother-in-law’s cat and my sister’s cats while she’s been away. These experiences taught me how to meet the unique needs of cats, from feeding schedules and grooming to providing a safe and comforting environment. In addition to my passion for animals, I have knowledge of basic medical care, including recognizing signs of illness, administering medication, and supporting overall health for both cats and dogs. Whether it’s playtime with pups, snuggling with cats, or maintaining routines to keep tails wagging and whiskers purring, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Let me help care for your beloved pets—they deserve nothing but the best! 🐾 Hey neighbors! As a full-time pet caregiver, I absolutely love what I do! I do have a wonderful pack of my own dogs to care for at home, which is why I truly appreciate advance notice for new bookings so I can coordinate everyone's schedules perfectly. 📅I am always happy to help out with morning, midday, or evening visits whenever things align! You can count on me to bring lots of positive energy and ensure your furry family members get all the love, undivided attention, and top-notch care they deserve! Can't wait to meet your pups! ❤️ Caring for my own pups, Stella and Hank, has taught me the importance of maintaining a consistent routine to keep them happy and healthy. They thrive on their set schedule, which includes two daily walks, either on my street or at the walking track near my home.We also spend quality time playing in the yard. My dogs love meeting and interacting with other animals, and I always ensure their time is filled with exercise, play, and lots of love.
About: With 9 years of hands on experience caring for pets, I bring a flexible and intuitive approach to pet care that meets each pup where they are. Whether your dog needs a calm gentle companion, or a high-energy play, I adapt to their personality and needs. I have a little bit of experience with obedience training with puppies and can also care for senior dogs. I am currently only offering boarding, walks and drop-in visits but I am committed to making your dog feel safe, loved and right at home - even when you’re away! I am a recent graduate of UTC and just started working for Unum. I work from home most days but have to go into the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays! I’m available anytime that I’m not in the office as my at-home work hours are flexible. When caring for pets in your home, I first like to read the pets profile so I can see if there are any special instructions/needs that I need to know about. I offer a variety of services so how I care for your pet is based on what I am booked for. For walks, I like to find a safe/familiar place to walk them, like your neighborhood. I’ll usually walk them for the full amount of time and make sure they have water when we are finished. When dog sitting, I try to make sure I follow all instructions left by you, the owner. I usually make sure your pet has food, water, walks, and lots of cuddles/play time!

About: I treat every pet like family, offering love, patience, and reliable care while keeping you updated so your pet feels safe, happy, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy providing consistent attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while ensuring every pet feels safe and loved. I offer flexible pet care options, whether in my home or yours. I make sure each pet receives personalized attention, regular exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection, all while maintaining a safe and comfortable environment.
“Jenna was amazing with our dog for drop in visits while we were out of town. She was very responsive, timely and took lots of pictures for us. She took the time to hang out with our dog and make sure he was comfortable. We really appreciated everything she did for us as it made this very easy. I'm so happy we found her and look forward to working with her again!”

About: My parents still love telling the story of when they told me I was going to have a baby brother. I looked them straight in the face and said, “I don’t want a human, I want a puppy!” Safe to say not long after, I got my very first dog, Bella, when I was four years old. From that moment on, Bella was my best friend. We grew up together, and wherever I went, she was right beside me. She taught me what unconditional love, patience, and responsibility look like. After an incredible 15 years together, I had to say goodbye to my sweet girl, but the love she gave me is the reason I care so deeply about every pet I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy, sticking to a senior dog’s routine, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were part of my own family. Although I work full-time, pet care fits naturally into my routine. I make time before and after work for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. On my days off, I have even more flexibility for longer visits, exercise, and quality time. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I always make it a priority to stick to their normal routine and provide reliable, loving care while their owners are away. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to keep things as consistent as possible. Before caring for your pet, I’ll make sure I understand their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications (if any), favorite toys, and any quirks or preferences they have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and attention while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they’ll receive lots of attention and affection. I always prioritize their safety, monitor them closely, and make sure they feel relaxed and at home. My goal is for every pet to feel loved, secure, and well cared for until they’re back with their family.
About: As a Rover Dog Caregiver, I am committed to providing exceptional care for your beloved pets.

Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each dog, creating a safe and comfortable environment for them to thrive in. With me, you can rest assured that your dogs are in loving and capable hands. I often volunteer at dog sanctuaries with disabled and senior dogs.

I am an upcoming freshman in a Veterinary Technology program. I’m currently working part-time and there is never “not enough time” to care for pets!! Everyday I take time out of my day from my dogs to enjoy my company. There is no excuse for neglect! Although I do not have a fenced home I have a LOT of yard space and my neighborhood is perfect for dog walks. I also live 5 minutes away from a trusted dog park. Just tell me what I can do to best care for YOUR animal since not all dogs/cats are the same.
“Melanie was wonderful with our pets and went above and beyond to make sure all pets were happy and cared for. She was very patient to allow my not as friendly dog to come to her on her own terms and Lilly even let her love on her. Would highly recommend.”

“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of my bunny boy! We did a meet and greet a few days prior to my leaving date, and she was very excited and happy to watch my bunny boy! Both of us got along great. Hannah is very good with communicating to me anything about my bunny boy. Loved the pictures she took and the comments she left! Will be booking with Hannah in the future!”

“Absolutely so thankful for Brandie. Her correspondence was immediate and she provided great follow ups during her drop-in visits at my home, with my pup, while I was away. Will definitely use her again and the drop-in visit option.”

“Madison exceeded all expectations! Our regular pet sitter had an unexpected emergency right before we left on a two week trip, the longest we’ve ever been away from our two fur babies. Needless to say we were devastated and left scrambling to find a reliable and trustworthy substitution. Madison did a meet and greet beforehand to explain her qualifications, answered any questions we had, and made sure to thoroughly understand the expectations of what we needed done to ensure peace of mind for us. She provided extensive details for us everyday and sent cute pictures of our animals so we could get a glimpse of how they were faring while we were away. She really takes the time to get to know the animals and it is reflected in her outstanding work ethic how much she truly cares. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone needing a sitter. Thank you Madison for providing excellent care for our babies, you made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing there was once less thing to worry about back home!”


About: I've had over seven dogs in my lifetime most of which are larger breeds but also had medium and smaller dog breeds. I've also raised puppies under a year old. I genuinely love animals and I need the money as a college student. I'm currently full-time college student but my classes are remote this semester so I have all the time in the world to take care of your dogs. I'm always available unless my scheduling states otherwise. I have no other dogs at the time so it will just be me and your pups unless of course I book with others. Your dog will be taking care of with the utmost safety and joy.
About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was a sophomore in high school, graduated in 2019. I volunteered and then became a worker at a groomer near me. Loved my job, and have cared for many animals since. Currently do not have a job, so I have a free schedule and nothing but love to give to the fur babies, including cats of course. I am very respectful to others homes and belongings. I only want to care for the animals, very trustworthy. If staying at my home, I am sure to take them out every hour, hour in a half unless given specific details. They have their free roam, I also have a pretty decent sized screen in back porch that they can run around a little in.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 399 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lynchburg. 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 Lynchburg. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
