“Kristen was great! We had a very last minute booking and she was very responsive and helpful! We will definitely work with her again next time we need help with our babies”
“Kimberly was wonderful with Izzy! She is my baby and she made sure all her needs were met during her visit. I’m in the middle of potty training so she made sure that she both pooped and peed during her visit along with getting in some much needed exercise. Definitely will use Kimberly again :-)”
About: I own two cats and have pet sit for friends before for their cats and dogs. I would love to help walk some dogs to get in more exercise! Weekends and later on weeknights sometimes. I cannot board pets, but am open to staying overnight if needed. I can walk dogs anytime of day on the weekends. I cannot board any animals in my own home due to owning two cats that would be stressed and I also rent a house. I have pet sit plenty of times for friends.
About: Hi! I'm Laney, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From high energy puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC, I pride myself on providing personalized, dependable care that fits each pet’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach - whether it's long walks, playtime, or just cuddles and companionship, I treat every pet like they're my own. You can count on me to be attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about keeping your furry family members safe and happy while you're away! I currently work remotely part-time, so I have tons of free time in my day to give love to your babies! I love going on a daily walk when its not storming so getting your pups exercise in for the day will be no issue! When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and familiar environment. I stick closely to each pet’s routine - whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime - so they feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy, and I always keep the space clean, pet-proofed, and cozy. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any specific instructions to a T. Whether it’s extra belly rubs, special diets, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what each pet needs.
“Sherry and Kevin are lifesavers! Sherry got back to me quickly, and they were willing to help us out with our 3 dogs while we were moving. She was unphased by our senior dog’s mobility issues and her husband Kevin became our 3 year old bloodhound’s best buddy! We got pictures and an update with each drop in, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in their care, especially because they have experience owning large breed dogs which is a huge plus for us! We can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of our dogs and we’ll definitely be booking with them in the future!”

My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and well cared for! 🐶❤️ I go to school from 8am to 1:15pm to which is when I am not available, anything after that time i will be available, And happy to help! I have a fenced in backyard. I live on a back road kinda off the road. I have a small Shih Tzu but he can be kept away safely. I can keep all dogs separated by room crate or fence. I am CPR experienced for dogs. And I am 20 minutes away from an emergency vet an 15 minutes from a regular vet. I would do anything to keep a dog safe because I do not want to see anyone sad or hurt.

So the rest of the week I can play and walk your pups 🐶!! I’m super flexible with my schedule. I have three pups of my own and two acres of land for them to run and play, I do prefer to do walks or in home check ins on others animals though! One of my pups gets anxious around others sometimes. But he’s not aggressive.
“Lauren is fantastic! We were nervous to hire a sitter for the first time, but it was clear that our babies had a blast while we were gone. We have a cat who usually hides in the closet whenever friends come over to watch him, but he actually came out and let Lauren give him scritches! Her communication was great, she was reliable, and we always knew our pets were doing well.”
“Heidi was wonderful. She came by to feed my dog, spent quality time with him, and made sure he was well cared for. She was reliable, sent great updates, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’m especially grateful that she was able to step in at the last minute over a holiday. I’d absolutely recommend Heidi and would gladly book her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Martinsville is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 345 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Martinsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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 Martinsville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
