About: Caring for dogs has been something I’ve loved since I was a little girl! I started babysitting my neighbors’ dogs when I was just 9 years old, simply because I loved spending time with them and my parents wouldn’t let me have a dog of my own. Over the years and volunteering at shelters I’ve gained plenty of experience understanding dogs’ personalities, routines, and different needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone patient, responsible, and trustworthy to care for your furry family member Since I work from home, I can offer plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day! Hello! My name is Gladys. I’m an environmental engineer who works part time from home, which means I have extra time, lots of love, and plenty of patience to give your furry best friend! I also love spending time outdoors, going on hikes, and taking long walks! If your dog enjoys staying active, I’d be happy to keep up with their daily exercise needs. Whether your pup needs outdoor adventures, playtime, cuddles, or simply a little extra company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I have used river services for my own dog; Dixie, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to take care of your baby. As a dog owner myself, I know that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I live in an apartment with a yard, so I prefer to care (boarding) one dog or dogs from the same family at a time. This allows me to give them my full attention and make sure they feel comfortable and safe.
“She took such good care of my dog…has a quick response time and made the process very easy for me…I look forward to working wit her again. I would definitely recommend! I can tell he had a great time with your family. Thank you”
“Amy and her fam did an awesome job with Serenity. She took sick and had to visit the vet two days. Amy was very flexible and accommodating and made sure Serenity got the care she needed. She kept me informed and sent lots of pics and videos. Serenity is doing well now and back to her high energy self! Thanks Amy!”
“Ariana was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Axlie and Remi! From the very beginning she was so sweet and caring, and throughout their stay she kept us updated with plenty of pictures and messages that really put our minds at ease. Both of our dogs looked so happy in every photo, and it was clear they were being loved and well cared for the entire time. She was also incredibly gracious and flexible with our shifting schedule, which we truly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 would definitely recommend Ariana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“Desiree was great! She was super flexible with pick up/drop off, especially last minute for a holiday weekend. She was extremely responsive and my pup was tuckered out when I picked him up - I can tell he enjoyed his weekend away! Thank you Desiree!”

I want to start with a big Thank you, Giovanna is an excellent dog care taker! The communication was great. My dog Maple was a bit hesitant the first night I drop her off, the following night she wad wagging her tail very happily. She knew she was going to have a good time. Giovanna sent me pictures and videos and text often, making me feel good about my dog being with her. She deserves 5 stars, she goes above and beyond. I will definitely used her again if I travel back to the area. And I 100% recommend her.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Lynchburg can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lynchburg home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lynchburg.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lynchburg. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Lynchburg sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
