“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I selected Valerie. She did an amazing job with my dogs and was very patient with my questions. Would definitely use her services again.”
About: I worked at a veterinary hospital for almost two years and got a lot of experience from that. I worked as an assistant and worked in surgeries and the clinic area. I also stayed overnight with patients. I’ve also helped my family watch their animals for them while they have went out of town. I’ve had animals in my life my entire life. I am currently a stay at home mom with my two children and I’m trying to bring home some income to help support my family. I have a pretty open schedule. I have a fenced in area in my back yard and I also have a ‘dog room’ that we call it in our house. I don’t plan on boarding at my house though currently. Possibly that could be something in the future but not right now.
About: I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. Big or small all are good with me. I am an animal lover. I will be doing this part time but if I can squeeze you in my schedule I will be more than glad to do so. My schedule is flexible as I am seeking a full-time job I will care for your pet in the comfort of their home while being careful of your house | am trustworthy | have high standards of ethic!
“Mikaela took care of our cat and kept a general watch of the plants and garden while we were out of town. She was very attentive and had great communication. Will definitely use Mikaela in the future.”
About: After growing up with all kids of dogs, and raising my own puppy the past few months, I’m excited to help take care of your little ones when you need help! I’m currently a full-time online college student working toward my Master’s, and am very flexible to accommodate you and yours little ones’ needs! I’ll follow your instructions, whatever they may be. I have rules with my little one and understand the importance of routine. Every dog is unique, so are their routines!
“Kassidy was awesome with our pets while we went on Vacation. She came every day and spent time with them and fed them while keeping me updated with photos which gave me peace knowing they were safe. Will be using her again”
About: I have two dogs of my own and have been caring for the pets of family and friends since I was 14. I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friends with the same care and attention I give my own! As a current grad student, I maintain a structured schedule and prioritize being reliable and organized with my commitments. I plan my availability in advance to ensure I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for their pets’ routines and needs! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by following their normal routines and respecting their individual needs. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special care requirements. I keep pets in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, provide plenty of attention and affection, and communicate with owners to keep them updated while they’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!
“Jordan was fabulous! She was able to administer oral calming medication to our cat during our absence which we have not been able to do and she sent great reports and pictures. She did everything we asked her to do. We plan to use her again if we need a pet sitter.”
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.
About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)
About: My experience pet-sitting (before I joined Rover in 2019) began at age 14 and has consisted of taking care of neighbors and family friends' dogs, eventually getting gigs through personal referrals. Helping others look after their animals and taking care of them as my own while making a few extra dollars is the perfect gig for me! Dog-walking/sitting: I'm pretty active and love the outdoors, so I'm more than willing to take your fur baby on short or long excursions outside. Some of my favorite memories are taking my family's dogs on long walks and spending time with them at the lake. Cat-sitting: I love both cats AND dogs for very different reasons. Dogs are awesome because they're friendly, energetic, and man's best friend! Cats are so different in that they are sooo relaxing, hands-off compared to dogs, and relatively independent. Other animals: I have little experience in this arena but would love to take care of any other pets you may have! I'd love the opportunity to take care of your pets while you're away! :) I work full-time from home when not traveling for my job. Because I love animals and travel too much to have some of my own, pet sitting is the perfect, flexible gig for me! I treat my clients’ pets as my own, so I do let them on the bed or couch to snuggle if that’s something you allow in your home. My personal motto is “leave no trace” typically used for the outdoors, but that is also the standard I abide by when staying in a client’s home.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of on a daily basis ranging from 2 months old to 2 years old. I have an American Eskimo, Border Collie/Shih Tzu Mix, and Miniature Goldendoodle. I love playing with my dogs as well as taking them on walks throughout the neighborhood! I currently work in office and am available to drop by twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I am typically at home enjoying my evening if I’m not at work! I can take your dog(s) on walks and/or dog parks. I can visit often to let them out to play in the backyard and to feed him/her.
About: As a former athlete, I can bring structure and energy to any animal care filled with love. I am also finding a a passion outside of sports that I truly love! I am a online student, who works out 2 hours of the day, leaving me with a very open schedule throughout my day and also throughout the week! I have a very spacious apartment and a very loving puppy myself. Also with all the time in my day I love to take ling walks throughout my neighborhood.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mount Airy is $36 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $36 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 November 2026, there are 437 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mount Airy. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mount Airy. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
