“Jessica is such an amazing pet sitter! We wanted someone to check in on our cats while we were away for a week. She was constant and updated us every night with pictures! Even of very shy cat loved her. I will only ever ask Jessica to watch our babies.”
“Absolutely brilliant care from Jennifer. Extremely thorough, professional, and exceptionally compassionate care for my 3 dogs. She went above and beyond to make my pets (and us) feel comfortable & confident. Don’t think we could’ve asked for any better. Five Stars plus.”
“Brad took exceptionally good care of the cats. He was great at keeping me informed of their well being and sending pictures. He was even able to coax the shy ones out of the shadows. He also fed my aquarium fish.Would highly recommended.”
“We hired Heather to watch our sweet boy while we were away for Christmas, and she was AMAZING! I trusted that my fur-baby was taken care of and given all the love he needed. I highly recommend Heather to watch after your pets!!”
“Perfect! Let Ainsley take care of your pets! She took care of my two kitties for a week. She did everything just right. I received daily pics of her playing with them. She was even able to make friends with my shy kitty. This was my first experience using rover.com, once again, I am pleased.”
“Ariane was amazing with my boy! She gave great updates and even sent me videos of him playing which I loved!! She went slow and let my very dramatic cat do everything at his pace! I knew he was well taken care of while I was gone!”
“I am very happy with Abigail’s attention to detail and all the pictures of her visits. She took my dog on some wonderful walks and was fantastic about communication. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“I can’t imagine leaving my babies with anyone other than Laura. She cared for their every need as if they were her very own! I love to spoil them and make them feel as happy and safe as I can every day. With Laura, they never missed me! She loved them so much I’m not sure they noticed I was gone…so BRAVO to Laura! Just because my kitties are so old and rickety, they need someone with that gentle awareness and Laura was all of that and more:-). To top it off, she is very professional with excellent respond time and feedback. Then, to really spoil us all, she is the sweetest person you could ever meet! She even took wonderful care of my plants. We are so blessed to have found her, and we hope she will return and take care of our kitties in the future when the needs arise. Anyone who is blessed enough to have Laura take care of their pets will enjoy their time away without any worry for their pets well-being. With Laura there, you can have total peace about your beloved pets.”
“Emma was awesome! She made sure to communicate every time she stopped by the house to feed and check on the pets. Our cat who doesn’t always like everyone was in love with her! So you know she has good energy. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and Emma made sure we knew our pets were doing well and were comfortable and cared for. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of a verity of pets and owned anything from fish, Reptiles, Rodents, Cats, and Dogs. I can also do additional tasks such as cleaning and plant care. I am versatile and can stay at the house or commute. I am also experienced at giving medications to animals as well. Feel free to ask me any questions regarding the sitting or my experience related to pet sitting. I can let sit anytime before/after classes. I’m am currently attending Liberty University and am taking classes throughout the week. Feel free to ask any questions related to the schedule. I make sure that the animals are comfortable, fed, and refreshed before resting. If I am eating at the place I’m house sitting I make sure the animals are fed before I eat (also makes it easier to avoid prying eyes watching me while I eat). Before I end the day I make sure everything is done and that the house is secure. Before the owners come back I make sure to clean and wash everything (if the owners don’t mind me doing this).
“Casey is always so good with my furbabies!!!! Her kids as well! They spoil my babies just as I would if I were here. She is always willing to fit us in no matter the time frame we ask her. She is hands down the best!!!”
“Amber was amazing! She took great care of my girl and she truly made her feel safe and loved while I was away. She handled everything so well and provided great care for my sweet girl. I got pictures, videos, and updates all within a timely manner. Would 100% recommend Amber to anyone!”

OK seriously, I literally can't say enough good things in this review about this literal angel 😇!!! My Mother has been in the hospital and she has gone far beyond what most anyone would do for my Mother's cats. She has been an absolute life saver for our family and I am giving her 10 stars ✨ not 5. I can't imagine anyone being able to find a better person for their animals! She's very responsive and good at what she does. Sweet as apple pie and sooo helpful!! Don't hesitate, this is your sitter!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lynchburg on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.

- 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 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.
