“I quickly rebooked Chloe for the holiday—she is phenomenal! She really does go above and beyond to make sure my cat is spoiled and loved while I am away, e.g., she surprised him with treats and made an extra drop-in on Christmas Day just to say hi! Chloe is attentive, respectful, and bubbly. I am very grateful to have met her and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Chloe!”

“I’m so glad we were able to meet with Emily and have her sit for our cats! Our cats got along with her right away. She went above and beyond for everything. She was very reliable and communicative which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away!”
“Marc did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and a cat for a week. Our dog requires medication- Marc was on top of her meds schedule . We came back a little earlier and the house was clean. We had instances with other pet sitters where this was not the case. Both girls are happy and well taken care of. We would trust Marc with them again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals my whole life - I currently have five of my own pets (FOUR guinea pigs and one horse) - I grew up with dogs and have handled every shape, size, and age imaginable - whatever your pet needs, I got it! Tuesday-Friday are very flexible for me and I will always try to make things work out! While I have my own personal routines there is more than enough time to walk some pups! I am always respectful of the spaces people keep and whoever uses those spaces - my number one priority is for the animal and their family to be comfortable
“Kaylyn is amazing! Great communication, is consistent and goes above and beyond. I never have to worry about my pets when she’s their sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Very communicative & experienced sitter. Felt very comfortable with Madeline caring for our pets while away! She even went out of her way to bring in our packages. Would highly recommend her & book again.”
“Cameron watched our golden retriever, Millie while we were away for a week. She took such great care of her and was responsible with our home. We received several photos each visit and updates. We would definitely book her again!”
“Cindy was fantastic with my dog! She was very helpful throughout the entire process, always on time, and a great communicator. I really appreciated how responsible and attentive she was, knew my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Mariia was wonderful! So kind and our cat adored her! She was very communicative and kept us very updated on our cat as we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
About: I recently was a manager at an interactive aquarium and petting zoo. I’ve also had experience with multiple different types of animals for 10 plus years. I love being outdoors so your furry friend and I will get along great! I’m currently searching for a part time job so I have ample time for all your furry friend’s needs. I like to be physically active and go on walks daily so I would enjoy having a companion to go with. I am available for pet sitting in your home, as well as daily dog walks. My skills include feeding, medications, bathing and grooming, excersizing, and playing. I am also willing to help with any additional services you may require.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up in a home with Rottweilers, which taught me early on the importance of proper care, structure, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve lived with rescue dogs and have also fostered dogs in the past, gaining experience helping dogs adjust to new environments and routines. Currently, I live in a home with a rescue St. Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog. While they aren’t my own dogs, I spend a large amount of my time caring for them, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very comfortable with large breeds as well as dogs who may need extra patience and understanding. I’ve worked with many breeds and mixes, including Rottweilers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, French Bulldogs, St. Bernard, Labs, Doodle mixes, Pomeranians, Boxers, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always aim to provide care that meets each dog’s individual needs while making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I work part time as a yoga teacher and have an open schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekend for daytime visits to take your pets out and on walks depending on what you need. I currently do not have any pets of my own which makes overnight stays to care for your pets easy. I will come to your home for to care for your pet and offer them the services you wish to have for them. Whether that be overnight stays, daytime dog walks, offering meals, or even just some outdoor playtime in your backyard.
About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am starting law school in the fall. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention. While caring for pets, I also make sure to send frequent updates and pictures to keep pet parents in the loop:) I currently have a very free schedule, as I am in the summer before I start law school (I am trying to relax as much as possible before). When I begin my studies at the end of August, I will be available on weekends for boarding requests. I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I will always ask what you are most comfortable with (leash in my backyard or not). I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. Dogs will always be under supervision in my home.
“Laura was absolutely great!! She took the effort to meet me a few times prior, so we could practice and learn how to do my cat's inhaler therapy and she was able to consistently do it for him this time! Very very pleased with the outcome!”
“Yana took good care of our boy while we were away. I enjoyed seeing the photos she sent and hearing the updates of each visit. She communicated well while we were gone and made us feel at ease while we were gone.”
“Katharine was absolutely beyond wonderful. She took care of my babies like they were her own and took all my anxiety away about leaving them for a chunk of time. She gave them so much love and attention during her visits and I could tell that they were loving her! She also took SO many pictures of them which just made me so happy to see after every visit. She went above and beyond when it came to every little aspect of taking care of them and I will 10000% be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Martinsville
Kaitlyn did an excellent job taking care of our cat when we were away for a 2 weeks vacation! It was our first time traveling since we adopted our cat and Kaitlyn’s drop in visits helped ease any worries we had! We provided feeding instructions and Kaitlyn was very accommodating to our cat’s feeding routine and needs. Kaitlyn also communicated about each visit with a message on how our cat was doing along with some photos. Thank you again. Highly recommend!
Diana took very good care of our cat while we were away for the weekend! She paid diligent attention to the care instructions, and gave us very detailed updates after each drop-in visit. She really went above and beyond, and we could enjoy our trip while knowing our cat was in good hands!
Marc was wonderful with our kitties! From the very first meet-and-greet, he was sweet, kind, professional, thoughtful, and respectful, which immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our cats in his care. During each visit, Marc went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were happy, cared for, and loved. He kept us consistently informed with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that he truly cared about their well-being and took the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. We are so grateful for the care Marc provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat/dog sitter. Our kitties were in great hands!
Cindy was fantastic with my dog! She was very helpful throughout the entire process, always on time, and a great communicator. I really appreciated how responsible and attentive she was, knew my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

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 Martinsville 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.
