“Selena provided outstanding care for my tortoiseshell cat, Patches. She maintained a clean litter box, ensured Patches received her meals, and handled her sassy personality with ease. I was able to travel without worry knowing Patches was well cared for.”

“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.”

About: I have lived with, owned, and taken care of dogs, large and small, for my entire life. Family and friends have trusted me to help care for their animals when in need. I have experience with other animals as well including, but not limited to, rabbits, fish, and livestock. Daily, I work 7:30-5:30 M-Th, but I set my own hours, so my schedule can be altered as needed with notice. I do not work F-Sun or any federal holidays. I can drop-in or do walks before and after my work hours unless, otherwise, specified. In my client's homes, I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I will only go where specified to go in the home as well as only do the requested services.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me for most of my life, from growing-up on a farm in Maryland to working large animal husbandry at the Virginia Tech Veterinary School to sharing a 1-bedroom studio with two cats in Roanoke City, and I’ve always loved all animals. All! Right now, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and they are very much part of my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and just hanging out with them and giving them attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you’re away, and I’ll care for yours just like I care for my own. I’m currently in the process of my Pet-CPR/First Aid certification. I’m working a flexible schedule (as a Referee). When I’m at work, Nalini (my wife), will be there at home with your pet. So, your pet would never be there alone day or night. The most respect, care, compassion, and hugs!! There’s separate pet living spaces in my house for accommodating your pets needs, and we have a friendly and vaccinated dog.

About: Hi! I am a young, active, outdoorsy homeschool mother who would love to help care for your beloved dog! 🐾 I have experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities, including German Shepherds, Labradoodles, Terriers, Shih Tzus, Great Pyrenees, and Australian Shepherds. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I am committed to providing patient, loving, individualized care. I have a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I enjoy getting outside for walks with active dogs. My home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy plenty of attention, snuggles, playtime, and outdoor activity. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like part of my family while they’re in my care. I'm happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. ❤️ I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your dog and provide them with a safe, fun, and loving stay! I have a very flexible and open schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I work one day a week and homeschool my 9-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter so it is essential your dog is comfortable around older children. Because I homeschool, I spend most of my days at home and have flexibility throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and keeping your pet company. I enjoy an active, outdoorsy lifestyle and I'm happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. My home has a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise. I have an active family with two kind, loving, and playful children who enjoy having animals around. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and boundaries. I will provide close supervision and a loving, family-oriented environment. For walks or care in your home, I am reliable, respectful, and trustworthy. I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own family and pets.

About: I formerly worked at a dog kennel, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with just about every type of dog imaginable. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and caring for them is truly my passion. I’m confident and prepared to handle just about anything — from administering medications to working with dogs of all sizes & personalities. I’ve cared for sick dogs, broken up countless dog fights, and responded to emergencies, including situations involving major injuries. No matter the circumstance, I’m dedicated to making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a part time job, but can work around it! Please just let me know as far ahead in advance as you can. Thanks :) I don’t plan to bring dogs into my home, but during drop-in visits I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of TLC — including playtime, bathroom breaks, feeding, and oral medication if needed. If there’s anything extra you’d like me to do, just let me know — I’m happy to help!

We went away for two nights; our 3rd time using Rover. Billie was responsible and followed all instructions. We appreciated having someone reliable dropping in on the pups. We will continue to book with Billie.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Mason Cove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
