“Kathryn was my Cat sitter for six days recently when I was out of state. I have an old cat with a lot of needs and takes medicine and I was worried about leaving her because she hadn’t done well before with other Pet Sitter‘s but with Kathryn it was amazing. She is so knowledgeable and kind and kept me informed everything and the best part is that when I returned, my cat was doing well. I could tell she wasn’t too stressed and has gotten quickly back into the routine of me being home again. I’m so lucky to have found Kathryn and I would recommend her to anyone. I hadn’t taken a vacation in a while due to my cat and how she normally does not do well when I’m gone, but I’ve already decided that I’m gonna try to take another trip this summer because I know I have Kathryn now Thank you, Kathryn for everything Molly Pallavicini”
“Nicki did an absolutely amazing job with my new puppy! She was patient, kind, and Millie loved her! She checked on her a couple of times throughout the day and helped let her outside, fed her and played with her!”
“Sylvia has been amazing so far we are on our second time extending our trip due to a Car Accident and she has been so supportive and flexible! Thank you so much!!!!!!!”
“We booked her last minute and she did an amazing job. She was responsive, caring, and came over to take great care of Mocha, which gave us total peace of mind. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book her again!”
About: I care for every dog as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, belly rubs, or quiet companionship. You’ll receive regular updates and photos. When we have boarding services available, for the safety and comfort of every guest, we board dogs from one family at a time. Whether you have one dog or several, they’ll enjoy our full attention and a calm, low-stress environment. We currently have no pets of our own. Currently, I’m available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday drop-in visits, boarding and walks. Once the school year begins, I’ll be available evenings after work, as well as weekends and holidays. For drop in visits I prefer serving the Waynesboro, Fishersville, Stuarts Draft and Crozet areas so I can provide reliable, timely care. I am considerate and respectful in your home and carefully follow care instructions. My goal is to make the experience happy, safe and loving for your dog.
“Tiffanie was amazing with our dog, Loki. She took him for walks and gave him so much love, he probably didn’t even realize we were gone. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals starting with my neighbor who relied on me for care taking, to my aunt who has her own dog business! I also have furbabies of my own which I care for; two dogs and one cat. As of right now usually am free after 6. Moving forward my schedule should be more open. Just shoot a text and see if we can figure something out 😊 In my home my dogs are leashed and we go for walks around the neighborhood. My cat stays indoors, but we enjoy playing and cuddling— she’s old. My doggies and I get out of the house sometimes and love to go on rides to the park
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have experience walking them, giving medications when needed and just being there to be their friend and make them less anxious. Years ago I found a sitter to look after my dog when I go to work and I still use Rover today when I'm working. I'm looking to return the favor to others who need their pets looked after and have the peace of mind to know they are being taken care of in their own environment. I currently work Friday, Saturday and Sunday so most weeks I'm available Monday through Thursday to devote to fitting pets into my schedule. I've always had a soft spot for dogs my whole life and it's fulfilling to me to help others with their pets as people have helped me. As my work schedule changes, I’ll update this to reflect so. I currently reside in Windigrove Apartment Homes so if you reside there, I’m very familiar with everything in the complex and have a lot more flexibility for pets within the same neighborhood. I'm comfortable doing whatever your pet needs. I've good with walking dogs as I have two of my own, administering medications, and just giving them some TLC and attention to ease anxiety.
“Sammi was wonderful! She took great care of the cats, kept us updated on some health issues, and even helped reprogram one of the RFID feeders from afar when one of the cats lost their tag. We really appreciate her going above and beyond for us and our boys - thank you!!!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I love dogs and cats. I love animals and have no problem spending my free time taking care of and playing with some fur babies. I have a pug that I've had since she was 6 weeks old. I also have a cat who I took in after his old owner abandoned him. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8-5pm in Charlottesville. I am more than happy to stop by after work if needed or if you want me to stay at your place I can take care of the babies before heading to work to make sure they are fed and worked. Can work with a lot of schedules. I do make and sell jewelry so there may be a few weekend days where my availability is limited due to already committed to a craft show In my house I try and take my dog out every 2 hours. In the summer my pug is sensitive to heat so we do short walks around our driveway. She is a bit spoiled and will not go outside in the rain so I do also have experience cleaning up puppy pads and encouraging their use. My cat is both indoors and outdoors so he goes to the bathroom outside but also have a litter box inside I clean every few days for him.
“PJ was wonderful! She kept me updated with photos throughout the week and had great communication. She has a genuine care for animals and was a natural with my cats. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
About: I've had animals of all sorts all of my life. Dogs, cats, lizards, snakes and other types. I grew up on a farm, and have worked with many types of animals of all sizes. Right now I'm free anytime to help you with your needs. More than happy to help with any animals you have and for however long you need a hand. I will follow your instructions to the t. We have 2 dogs, and three cats in our house. We try to play with and keep them all happy as each of them have different personalities.

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 Lyndhurst 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lyndhurst. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
