About: I have had cats ever since I was little and have also worked in a cat rehoming and adoption center! I also love dogs and am comfortable walking them and tending to their needs. I’m a teacher on summer break so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them all the attention and care they need! I am not able to board dogs where I currently live (due to my lease) but I can travel to you and give all the services needed! I am comfortable traveling to homes as well as boarding kitties.
“Pam was great. I appreciated the daily text and photo of my pup which eliminated any anxiety I had prior to and during our family vacation. Hope she will sit for us on our next trip away.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up around German Shepherds, Dobermans, and a variety of cats, so caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Today, I have three dogs of my own: an Italian Mastiff, a Husky, and a Hound Dog! Living with such different breeds has given me experience with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m happy to care for other types of pets with the right instructions to ensure they receive the proper attention and care they deserve. I offer dog walking and in-home pet check-ins, so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings while you’re away. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and detail-oriented. I take the time to follow instructions carefully, pay attention to the little things, and make sure each pet’s individual needs are met. Whether your pet needs a walk, some company, fresh food and water, or a little extra attention, I’m happy to help! Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and respect I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! ❤️🐶🐱 I am currently available during the week and on weekends depending on how far in advance you book. I can tend to your pets morning and night. I will care for your pet in the comfort of your own home. This way they can be comfortable and cozy in their own home.

“Christin has been great with our new addition Penny. When Penny met Christin, it was an instant connection. You can definitely see her love for animals. She arrives on time and is very reliable.

About: I grew up around animals big and small, from horses and llamas, to cats and dogs, to hampsters and reptiles, I love them all, except spiders, please no spiders! I am an avid outdoors person, I love going for runs and hikes. I'd be more than happy to take your dog with me! Its great exercise and helps to poop them out! I do own my own German Shepherd, she is one and full of love. She loves making new friends, so if your dog wants to make friends too I'd love to get them playing! Otherwise I like to keep as close to your pets schedule and routine as possible. I am more than happy to stay at the house or do drop ins, whichever works best for you! I currently work full-time in Centreville, VA, with 4 longer workdays typically a combination Monday-Friday 7am-6pm, plus commute time. If your pet cannot comfortably go ~10 hours without a bathroom break on these days, please consider this when booking. However, on my days off, my schedule is much more flexible, and your pets will be my top priority. I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care to keep them happy and comfortable. I provide attentive and compassionate care for every pet entrusted to me. When outdoors, pets remain on a leash at all times unless otherwise agreed upon with the owner. Inside the home, I closely monitor their behavior, ensuring they are comfortable and safe. If I notice any unusual behavior, I promptly check in with the owner to keep them informed. Before each booking, I conduct a detailed discussion with pet parents to understand their pet’s typical behaviors, routines, and any special needs, ensuring personalized care tailored to their well-being.
“Hayleigh came out to meet our dogs before a house sitting booking and spent time becoming familiar with them and their routines. Hayleigh has a calming presence and I know our dogs will enjoy their time together.”

I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including pets who may require extra patience, medication, or specialized care. Working in a veterinary environment has also taught me how to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately when a pet may not be feeling their best.

I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. With 3 years of experience in the animal industry and my current work at a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs.

“Madison did a great job caring for Arthur! Perfect amount of communication, showed up right on time and did everything that was asked. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Would definitely book with her again.”

About: Hello! I have always had dogs growing up and I always had to take care of them. You know, doggy walks, taking the dogs for a potty break and feeding them. That didnt stop and continued throughout college since I helped my wife to take care of her foster doggies! We will take turns between weeks. We had an incredible experience since these dogs were able to get adopted. We recently lost our dog, Tucker at 12 years old and we’re not ready for another dog yet, but have a great home with a great big fenced in backyard, plus close to baseball fields from an elementary school and a great neighborhood for walks.
“Vanasia did a wonderful job looking after my cats! She was prompt, reliable, and provided great updates throughout her visits, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept me informed about how the cats were doing and even notified me about a few accidents and took the time to clean them up. I really appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile. I would definitely recommend Vanasia to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for large dogs, such as Labs and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller breeds like Pomeranians, Pugs, and mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special dietary needs or medications. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am currently studying online, which allows me to work from almost anywhere. I love going on walks, especially after a meal, and having a furry companion makes them even better! My flexible lifestyle allows me to make time for your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I love being able to incorporate pet care into my day while making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home, whether through drop-in visits, dog walking, or other care your pet may need. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My family has always taught me to leave a place better than I found it, and I carry that value with me in everything I do. I will treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I also understand that I’m not just caring for a pet; I’m caring for a beloved member of your family. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, attentive hands and is being looked after in the familiar environment you’ve trusted me with.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 6,312 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Tavern. 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 Old Tavern. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
