“Trial run for Amanda to get comfortable with the meds routine for one our cats. She did great! Even remembered the treats he gets afterwards. Looking forward to her taking care of the fur babies during our upcoming trip.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 15 years. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets while they are on weekend getaway or week long vacations. Our dog Stella loves to have other dog friends to hang around with. My wife and I both work from home and are able to take extra care of your dog during the day and at night our little ones once home from school love to play with the dogs. We are able to walk your dog two or three times a day during the work week and four or five times on the weekends along with letting the dogs play outside in the backyard that is fenced in and private. We interact with our dog each and every day, she typically follows us around the house and is very calm and quiet. The kids love to interact with her and throw the ball to her outside.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how attentive, patient, and dependable I am with every pet I care for. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m great at keeping routines consistent, encouraging positive behavior, and giving pets plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I’m also very observant and quick to notice changes in behavior or mood so pets always receive the best care possible. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and stress-free! I currently works a job from 6pm to 430 am. So, if discussed, I can determine if I can fit a morning stop into my schedule but I’m definitely available before 3pm M-F. Sat/Sun 10am till TBD. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of attention so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I previously had a dog who sadly passed away after 13 years, which gave me a lot of experience and love for caring for animals through every stage of life. I currently have a poodle and a doodle who have had puppies together, and I also have two of their puppies, so I’m very familiar with caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and energy levels.
About: I grew up in a family that always had pets and working dogs mostly mixed breeds and some purebreds. I have had two dogs (one at a time) in the last thirty years. My first dog was a registered black Labrador. My wife gave her to me on our second Christmas together. Her name was Genoa - after the Italian city I studied in as a grad student. She passed away at nineteen years old. I now have a Maltese - Shih Tzu. He loves to play fetch even though he is eleven years old. I do DoorDash part-time, so I have a flexible schedule. I can work around your dog's routine to make sure they're fed and exercised regularly. In my experience, animals feel more comfortable and secure in their usual environment, so the only new element is my presence and how I interact with them. I have cared for dogs that need regular medications and exercise, and I maintain their schedule and activities as closely as possible. This is especially important to me when dealing with dogs who are crated or confined. I want to build a strong relationship with your pet based on trust and consistency.
About: I have had animals all my life, dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I'm experienced with younger and older animals as well as giving medicines and other. I'm currently a college student and don't work so I have plenty of time to play with pups / kitties and come by for feedings and other. When pet sitting I typically will go by 2 to 3 times a day for feeding and play. I'm always careful around animals especially when they don't know me, I know some can take some time to warm up! I can do walks, play in house, or a backyard if allowed, and other general care.
“Katie has gone above and beyond in taking great care of our 3 pups. The pups look so happy in the daily photos she sends. It makes it easier to get through my work day knowing they are well taken care of.”

About: I am a previous dog owner and have the biggest heart when it comes to animals!! I’m great with bath time and training. I love the outdoors and have no problem spending plenty of time outside running around playing catch! There is a dog park in my neighborhood and plenty of places in the area if the dog isn’t use to other animals. I live 10 minutes from river walk and other great walking trails! I also have a nice size patio for sun bathing. I use to work at a dog kennel so I have experience working with every size dog from a chihuahua to an English mastiff. Keep me in mind for all of your dog walking and over night stays! Thank you!
“Christina is absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very start, she was prompt, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. It was obvious she treated them like her own. What really stood out was how communicative she was throughout the entire time. Regular updates and quick responses. It gave me such peace of mind. When I had to make a last-minute change to our plans, Christina adapted effortlessly without missing a beat. She was so accommodating and made what could have been a stressful situation completely seamless.”
About: Hello my name is Lexi, I hope that me and your fur babies will have a lot of fun together. It’s easy to say I have a large love for dogs, I grew up with dogs, have fostered homeless dogs multiple times, I also volunteer at animal rescue shelter walking the dogs and taking them on doggie dates. I would love to not only bring your fur babies into my home but into my heart as well, If you have any specific/special needs for your dogs I’m more then happy to accommodate for whatever they need, just let me know what they need! I work full time from home Monday-Thursday and go into the office for only about 4 hours on Friday. I can bring your dog with me or leave them at home with my boyfriend, who works from home on Fridays. I usually will ask you if you prefer for your dog to be created or not, usually when I take them out I will let them run around and go with them since we don’t have a fence. And if you’d like I can let my dog out at the same time so they can play together.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have both a dog and a cat who mean the world to me. 🐶🐱 Over the years, I've cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and repeat clients through drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I'm comfortable administering oral medications when needed and always do my best to follow each pet's normal routine so they feel as happy and stress-free as possible. I currently have flexible availability for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. Once my fall semester begins on August 25 and I start my weekday nanny position on August 31, my availability will become more limited, but I'll still be accepting bookings that fit my schedule. I do my best to respond quickly to messages and keep my calendar up to date so you'll always know when I'm available. I know it's a big deal to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and provide updates and photos so you can relax while you're away. During our meet and greet, I'll ask plenty of questions to learn your pet's routines, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible.
About: I have lived on a farm and owned pets my whole life! I love animals and I'm very accustomed to taking care of them. I also occasionally house-sit and pet-sit for close friends and family! I am currently a part time college student in Lynchburg and I only have a residential class one day a week. I do work part time as a server so some days I might have to take care of your pet until I go to work in the afternoon and then return in the evening. Dog/house sitting works better for me because I live on a farm with lots of other animals, which can make it tricky to keep other pets in the house.
“Haley was great with my dog with special needs. She followed instructions provided updates and showed she really cared. We would definitely use Haley as our sitter again. Thank you!”
“Allison does great each time she takes care of my dogs. They went to boarding & 1 was sad and a little scratched up & she got him feeling better❤️ She is great at communicating & very caring. It’s why we use her over anyone else.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, haven’t yet met an animal that didn’t like me. I have experience with difficult dogs, nervous and overly excitable fur missiles. I’m willing to work with them as long as I feel safe to do so but im not a trainer, I don’t know how to make them unlearn bad behaviors and learn good ones. Right now I don’t have a regular full time job, I have been searching and applying but no offers as of yet. I have no kids or pets of my own so I’m available at nearly any time, from drop-in visits to overnight sitting. I understand letting a stranger into your home is unsettling, I don’t take it for granted and I’ll do my best to respect your home and pets. I don’t currently have my own home, I live with others so I’m unable to board pets. It tends to be less stress anyways for the pet to stay home where they are in a familiar environment. Unless they have a rigid routine involving sleeping in your bed with you, and won’t go to bed otherwise, I tend to stay on the couch.
About: I have always been around animals since I was young . I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I am experienced with Rabbits,Hamsters,Turtles, Fish,Dogs and Cats old or young :) I am currently a college student looking for something part time to make extra money doing something i’m passionate about available for house sitting and walks during the beginning of the week If i’m house sitting I try to watch over the furry friend to make sure no accidents happen or they don’t get too lonely by occupying there time with playing and pets. For any dog walking I make sure you’re furry friend stays protected by reactive animals or over active kids
About: I’ve been working in an overnight boarding facility for the past 3 years as a team leader with years more of experience from my personal pets. animals have always been my passion and i’m excited to broaden my expertise in my field!! i’m currently working on my own schedule, meaning i will always be available to you for any questions or pupdates you might want throughout your pups stay! i have a senior pup who lounges around all day and 2 playful kitties who do nothing but cause feline chaos!! i wouldn’t trade it for the world and have always been so excited to meet and grown bonds with any animal that will allow it!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,846 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McConnells. 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.

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.
