About: Hi, I’m Zane. You might say I have a bit of a Lucky Dog mindset when it comes to working with pups. For years, I’ve helped dogs build trust, confidence, and joy through calm leadership, positive reinforcement, and plenty of tail-wagging fun. Now, I’m bringing that same heart and expertise to the trails, parks, and neighborhoods. What Makes Me Different? As a  college student studying both psychology and animal science, I don’t just walk dogs—I connect with them. I understand dog behavior on a deeper level and use that knowledge to make every walk safe, structured, and enriching. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, reactive, or just needs a steady hand, I’ve got the experience to make sure they feel secure and cared for. Every Walk is a Training Opportunity My calm and confident approach turns a daily walk into a moment of growth. I reinforce good leash manners, provide mental stimulation, and make sure every dog gets the physical exercise and emotional connection they need. Service You Can Count On     •    Tailored walks based on your dog’s energy level and personality     •    Consistent routines and detailed feedback after each visit     •    Clean, respectful home visits with plenty of play, affection, and fresh air     •    Trusted care with a trainer’s eye and a host’s heart Whether you’ve got a brand-new puppy or a wise old soul, I’m here to give your dog the kind of care that’s worthy of a spot on Lucky Dog—because every dog deserves that kind of attention. Let’s give your dog their best day, every day. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m home often and can plan my day around walks, feedings, and playtime. I enjoy starting and ending the day with pets—it’s a great rhythm and honestly something I look forward to. Whether it’s sticking to their usual schedule or giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, I make pet care a priority and enjoy having it as a regular part of my week. Whether I’m watching pets in my home or theirs, I always make safety and comfort my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In my home, I keep the space clean, pet-friendly, and secure—no access to anything unsafe, and always supervised during play or outside time. If I’m caring for pets in their home, I stick closely to their regular schedule and make sure they feel at ease while their family is away. I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, attention, and respect for their unique habits and preferences.

About: I have cared for my family's pets my entire life. I worked in the pet care dept. at the Lynchburg Humane Society for about a year until it got in the way of school. I have been cat and dog sitting for people around my neighborhood for the past five years or so. My family and I have also been fostering mama dogs with litters of puppies as well as bottle baby puppies and kittens from the Lynchburg Humane Society for the past 4 years I am a senior in college. I am currently taking two online classes so my schedule is very flexible. Next semester I will be taking in person classes so my schedule will be more limited starting Jan. 14, 2027. We have two cats and two dogs at my house that I help take care of. I have experience caring for several of my neighbor's cats and dogs. I am able to adapt my care to the needs of your critters. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs with medical conditions of varying severity from my time at the Lynchburg Humane Society and fostering.

About: Whether your furry friend needs a walk, a playdate, or a cozy companion while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel loved, safe and spoiled! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and my experience goes beyond the usual four-legged friends. I also have experience caring for exotic frogs and reptiles, so I’m no stranger to pets that are a little more unique! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time and flexibility to provide different levels of care! Dogwalking I can provide on much shorter notice (sometimes same day) and I can be fairly flexible for daysitting as well. Please let me know of any medical needs or specific habits of your pet I should be aware of to keep them as comfortable and in their routine as possible. Thank you! I am located downtown so I unfortunately do not have the ability to house any pets, however, I have ample access and familiarity with some wonderful walking trails in the area as well as the local dog park. If it works with my schedule, I can also sit your pets at your/their home if you want to keep them in a familiar environment at a competitive cost.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with two dogs and have been consistently walking and caring for pets from middle school through college. I also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained experience handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, hardworking, and reliable, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate a variety of days and times throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and make pet care a priority in my routine, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, check-ins, or overnight care. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel secure and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I’ll follow all routines and instructions closely and make sure they receive lots of attention, patience, and love.

“John stayed the day with our two dogs. It was our first time using him, so he was kind enough to come meet the pups a couple days prior to sitting them - to make sure it was a good fit. The dogs immediately liked him & approved! He arrived on time, sent pictures during the day, and was very polite. I plan to use him again :-)”

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs and cats, I'm dedicated to giving every furry friend the love and attention they deserve. I'm here to work closely with you to ensure your pets' unique needs are met with personalized care and affection! As a current full time nursing student at Liberty University, spending time with your pups or kittens offers me a delightful break from my studies. I am in class/clinical Monday and Thursday's so I have a variety of days to provide your precious pets with the attention and care they deserve. While caring for pets in your home, I am to prioritize maintaining their routine while you are away. I follow the instructions left closely and ensure they receive the same level of care and attention as if you were there! This includes: * Feeding and hydration: I will follow your pet's feeding schedule and dietary needs and ensure they have fresh water at all times. * Exercise and Play: I engage in their favorite activities and walks to keep them well exercised and happy. Of course, adjusting according to their energy levels, and preferences. * Health and Hygiene: I monitor the health of your sweet pet, note any changes and immediately notify you, the owner, at the sign of any discomfort or illness. I also will attend to basic grooming such as brushing. * Companionship: Most importantly, I will provide plenty of love and attention to your furry companion! I will do my best to keep them company and ensure that they feel secure and loved as there owner is away. When a pet stays in my home, I create a warm, welcoming and safe environment for them that mimics their home life as closely as possible. My approach is as follows: * Comfort and Safety: I ensure that your pet has a designated place to relax, with cozy bedding and a secure area where they can feel at ease. * Routine Feeding, Hydration and Grooming: I will stick to the pet's regular feeding schedule and dietary requirements and their grooming routine as instructed. * Daily Activities: I will follow the pet's normal exercise and playtime amount into my daily routine - ensuring both mental and physical stimulation to keep your pet happy! * Health Monitoring: During their stay, I will keep a close eye on their overall behavior and health and am prepared to reach out to a vet if needed. (The closest 24hr Emergency Vet being only 8 minuets from my location!) In both settings, I aim to do what is the absolute best for your pet! My goal is to provide for your four-legged friend with a caring, attentive and safe environment that meets their needs.

“Alexis was very accommodating, fantastic overall! I felt comfortable right away when I met her and knew my three cats would be having a good time with her. I felt very comfortable leaving town, and having her in my home. She’s very proactive, and I knew anything that went awry or if she had questions she would contact me.”

About: Welcome to my page! My name is Tracy and I would love to take care of your pet. I grew up taking care of my pets, both cats and dogs, and I currently have a goldendoodle that I absolutely adore! I have also been entrusted to take care of my friend’s pets while they were away. From my experience, I know that no pet is the same. I get to know your pet and learn to care for them in a way that is unique and special to them! I currently work full-time during the week, but am available for boarding on the weekends and most holidays. I am also available evenings and weekends if your pet needs to have a potty break or go on a walk! For visits in your home, I prefer to meet prior to my initial visit to go over instructions and expectations and to have a meet and greet with your pet. For boarding in my home, your pet will be able to have full access to the house or they can be crated if that is what is preferred. I live in a great neighborhood for walking and I also have a screened in porch that is great for napping!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Monroe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Monroe is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $19 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 316 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Monroe. 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 Monroe. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
