About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and love caring for them! Experienced with feeding, watering, walks, potty breaks, and ensuring pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am looking to take on as many pet care opportunities as possible. I am available most days of the week, with Sundays reserved for church. I’m happy to work with a variety of schedules and look forward to helping care for your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep both the home and pets safe and well cared for. I will responsibly feed, water, walk, and play with your pets while following any instructions you provide. I am also respectful of your home and will help keep it clean, lock doors, turn off lights when needed, and ensure everything is secure before I leave.
“She was amazing with our boys!! I was nervous to leave them for a full week but that quickly changed as I got updates everyday with pictures! My boys were loved and taken care of and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.”
About: I have five cats and a dog currently and am always looking to play or help take care of a furry friend. I have previously worked in a daycare as well which helped me get a lot of experience in caretaking. I am not a permanent employee anywhere and have a flexible schedule so i’m able to work my plans around the needs of any pet. All work is either online or gig based so I am always available! I have the energy to keep up with hyper dogs but i also love the lazy dogs/ cats who just want me to pet them and hang out around them. whether your pet needs a workout or a nap session, i can keep up with it!
“Jenna is awesome and this my 2nd time booking with her. She takes wonderful care of my dog, is a great communicator, promt, and feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care! I'm so lucky to have found her and absolutely recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of & had animals since I was about 10, and would love to help whoever needs assistance. Whether that be puppies or seniors, I am here to help. I can work any day Monday through Friday, and some weekends depending on the schedule. Mornings and afternoons are preferred, but am willing to accommodate to certain needs. We do not own any current pets at the moment, but have a fenced in yard with room to run around. I can accommodate to certain needs.
About: My passion for animal welfare extends beyond pet ownership. Over the years, I have volunteered with animal shelters and rescue organizations, including the Humane Society and ProCanine, assisting with the care, socialization, and well-being of dogs and cats awaiting adoption. As a vegetarian and lifelong animal advocate, I am deeply committed to treating every animal with compassion, patience, and respect. My volunteer work has given me experience working with pets of different ages, temperaments, and backgrounds, including animals that require extra attention, reassurance, or specialized care. I also have experience supporting basic veterinary care needs, including administering medications under guidance, monitoring animals during recovery, recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and assisting with transportation to veterinary appointments. These experiences have helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. Whether caring for a playful puppy, a senior cat, or a rescue animal adjusting to a new environment, I strive to provide attentive, reliable care that helps pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I part time as a substitute teacher and residential faculty member. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m available for drop-in visits, cat and dog care, feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency in a pet’s routine and will work with you to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they need while you’re away. As an educator and animal welfare volunteer, safety, trust, and responsibility are central to everything I do. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and household rules. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level, allowing them to interact at their own pace. I maintain a clean and secure environment, monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

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.

I have a huge fence around my yard and two adorable fur babies if yours are needing some company. I will be able to watch over your dog at all times if needed.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, horses, you name it. Animals are underrated as members of the family in my opinion and I just want to make sure any animal in my care is treated like family. I take care of my animals (two dogs and a kitty cat) daily and they have a pretty set routine, I would be working my schedule around their routine and working on my days off. I’m happy to drop in and check on your babies and give them love and attention on long work days. I know how stressful it is to be at work knowing your baby is alone at home and I’m happy to help!
“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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 397 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lynchburg. 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 Lynchburg 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.
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.

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 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.
