“Reliable and her love of animals made us feel our cat was in excellent hands while we were away. She handled this booking professionally and communicated very well. Highly recommended.”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover and experienced pet caregiver with a home full of personality including my two Shar-Peis (Dior and Hercules) and two tortoises(Cleo and Franklin). Caring for my special needs Shar-Pei Hercules has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important individualized care is for every pet. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, safety, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, routine, or extra patience, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time (8 days per month), which allows me to dedicate a large portion of my time to pet care. My daily routine already revolves around caring for my own pets, including two Shar-Peis—one with special needs—and two tortoises. Because of this, I’m experienced in maintaining consistent schedules, providing attentive supervision, and adapting care based on each animal’s individual needs. I’m able to offer dependable, flexible care and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a loving, calm, and attentive environment where pets are treated like family. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I make it a priority to follow their schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I have experience caring for my own two Shar-Peis, including one with special needs, which has taught me patience, awareness, and the importance of individualized care. I also care for two tortoises, giving me experience with animals beyond dogs as well. I’m attentive to behavior, eating habits, and overall comfort, and I’m happy to follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“It is very obvious she knows cats. She has great communication and was actually able to get our skiddish cat to come out and eat her food with her there (and also get a picture). Not only did she make us comfortable but our cats felt safe with her. Definitely will consider her for the future.”


About: I grew up with 3 yellow labs, which were treated as my siblings. Later, my husband and I became a dog parents to a beautiful boxer mix for 10 precious years. I work full-time in an office. Pet care would mostly take place on weekends, but there is some availability before or after work during the week. I have a fully fenced yard on an acre lot so there’s plenty of room to play and/or relax to cater to the needs of each dog.
About: I'm was professional pet trainer at a major retail chain. I've lived with a dog, cat, chinchilla, hamster, bird, or fish most of my life. I love fur babies and want help people when they need to be away from their beloved pets. Most recently, I helped sit a household with four elderly dogs with various medical needs. I have experience giving medications to dogs, as well as dogs with disabilities like blindness and deafness. Ideally with pet sitting, my wife and I would meet the dogs and/or cats before we pet sit to learn their specific needs, and learn where the food and treats hide. Depending on the pets and the weather, we like long hikes/walks and short trips around the neighborhood. You actually receive two pet sitters with me. My spouse will be home most of the time while I'm at work. I'm also a certified pet sitter with Pet Sitters International. I'm a Vocational Specialist, and my wife and I work together when petsitting, so she's there when I'm not. We work together and it's a team business. I like to learn the current routine of your beloved pet(s) and try to keep their routine for their comfort. I make sure I learn your house rules and will not let those puppy dog eyes persuade me to let them on the couch unless you say it is ok. I have my Pet First Aid Course and am taking other courses to increase my Pet Safety knowledge.
About: I have been a pet caregiver for a little bit now I love each dog. I am very communication driven. So you will know when you fur baby goes to the bathroom each time I have a full time job along with this, so this will be a part time work or so. I work at Taco Bell full time I’ll bring my own food and bedding when I sleep over and take care of your fur baby. We will also have lots of snuggles and noise boops
About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, grooming, administering oral medications, and providing companionship. I'm comfortable with energetic dogs that require regular exercise as well as older pets with special needs. I understand feline behavior and ensure cats have a clean litter area, proper nutrition, and a stress-free environment. I'm attentive to pet health and safety and know how to spot early signs of illness or distress. Whether it's a quick check-in or overnight care, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. I have a flexible schedule when it comes to pet sitting, allowing me to accommodate various time frames to suit both your needs and your pet's routine. Whether you require short-term care, extended stays, or occasional drop-ins, I can adjust my availability to fit your schedule. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, ensuring they receive the attention, love, and care they deserve. Let me know your preferred times, and I'll work to make it happen! Whether at your home or mine, I foster a safe, calm, loving environment where pets feel at ease and at home, reducing stress and ensuring they receive the same affection and attention they would from their own families. Your pet's happiness and safety is my top priority every step of the way.
About: My first dog I got when I was in the 4th grade. She changed my life. Now I’ve never been able to connect with a dog on that level since her but I still love them. & hope some day I will be able to give my kids that. I am a single mom with 3 kids under the age of 6. Adding a fur baby to the mix just isn’t in the cards for me right now. & after this year I’m looking to get back on my feet. So I thought this could be a good way to make some extra money to help us. We are a very active bunch. Love hiking, walking, and pretty much anything outdoors. Like I said before we are always outside. I like to take walks in the morningsevenings. Love hiking. I work from home so I can make my own schedule. Depends on the dog. Just like my kids each one is different. What works for one might not work for the other. I would like to mimic as much as the dogs normal as possible.
“Angel was so sweet and did a great job with my pup! He can be a little difficult to warm up to people, but she was patient with him and got him to come around. I felt like he was in great hands the whole time and would absolutely recommend her!”

“Jacqueline has been a wonderful support for my sweet kitty during my long days at work. I have noticed that my cat is happier when I get home after spending time with Jacqueline.”

About: I was raised by Cocker spaniels when I was little. I grew up loving animals, dogs and cats alike. Among the many gifts my parents gave my sister and I is the love for animals and the Lord. I live with my parents who have on property 7 horses and dogs. My sister breeds sheepadoodles and we dog sit for the families who bought my sister’s pups. When my parents go on vacation I will feed both, dogs and horses. I cat sit now twice a year for a friend from church and would love to get to know my local community by doing the same thing if possible. Very well. Especially if the customer/client is close. I’m pretty open and flexible with my schedule. Im always willing to help out and make things more comfortable and fun. I care for any animal with love and affection. I am very grateful for the opportunity and trust that comes I with loving an animal.
“I searched for the right dog sitter for my English Bulldog Gigi and my little rescue mix Petey. I found Nicholas and was not disappointed! He has a calm, confident demeanor that works well with being a caretaker of dogs. In my instance it helped that he has English Bulldogs himself so he knows that they can be nippy, protective and scrappy. He demonstrated a keen sense of how to interact with Gigi and each visit he made progress with her. His detailed recaps of his visits gave me a great peace of mind while I was away. He is thorough, caring, responsive and trustworthy. He takes care of my dogs as if they were his own. I truly appreciate his ability to take care of my two and am looking forward to continued use of his services. I highly recommend Nicholas to take of your pets!”

“Krystyna was super accommodating to my last minute request, super responsive and communicative, and took awesome care of my pup. I would highly recommend her to anyone!! ☺️”

“Our most shy cat was not apprehensive around Nayeli. He even gave her his belly for rubs on her second visit of the day! Our babies feel so safe and loved with her. We will definitely be rebooking ❤️”


About: I wasn’t allowed to have pets as a kid, so I frequently visited my friends’ houses and play with their animals. I love my kitties and will love on your cats & dogs as if they’re my own! My kitties have FIV so I’m used to cleaning their space and sneaking supplements into their food. I work full time in the afternoons, so mornings are best for me! The earlier the better. I have time to take care of my babies so I’d love to help take care of yours too. I’ll take the best care of your pet in your home! A clean space for a pet to live is so crucial to their health, and I’d love to help you with that.

About: I’ve had a dog all my life. I have helped watch over my aunts family’s dog when they are out of town. I have experience with all kinds of dogs! I personally have a small dog, a Maltipoo Terrier, but other family members have mediums sized and big dogs as well! I love taking my dog on walks and playing with her. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best take care of your animal! I am currently working a part-time job and am looking to make some extra money and play with animals, so I have enough time for dog walking, house sitting, and house calls! I am available most nights for house sitting and walking or just drop ins depending on when I get the message! I love to just sit down and play with them, either with their toys or just running around, and hanging out and chilling with them! I make sure they are fed, hydrated, clean, and loved!

About: I have been with dogs since 2019 and before that grew up with cats and reptiles all my life only because where I use to live couldn’t have dogs. Have been around all ages and know how to be patient with them. Roxy (my baby) and I will go to the dog park ever morning on weekends since I work night shift Monday through Thursday. I’ve dog sit for family and friends. I work Monday- Thursday night shift but off during the weekend and I can’t walk/potty break in the morning or help during the weekend I have two dogs large 6yr old & Medium 1yr old we do weekend dog parks to keep them socialized can keep separate if needed. Durning the morning they just get potty break on the week days but when I get off I take my dogs on a nightly walk since it’s really hot out. But love giving love like there my own!

“Jasmine took care of our cat Berlin when I was out of town. She was very communicative, friendly, sent me updates every visit and took great care of him. Would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter for their cats”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,992 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New River. 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 New River. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
