“Wow, Raven was simply amazing! Great response time and communication, and superior care for my two furbabies. This was our first time working with Raven, and we will definitely hire her again.”
“Sonja is terrific! My kitties loved her from the moment she came in. When I got home, my kitties were calm, had full bellies, potties were clean, all was in order. I couldn't be happier with the care Sonja provided, I 100% recommend her.”
“Crystal was wonderful with our dogs! There were some tech issues on my end but she was understanding and patient. It’s nice to have someone to help care for our pets when we are away and trust that they will be fine.”
“Jennifer was great with Jasmine. Very kind and gentle and laid back which is Jasmine’s kind of style. When we did a meet and greet Jennifer came compared to learn what she needed to do for the sitting, which put me and my family at ease leaving her alone with someone Jasmine didn’t know. I would definitely hire her again to watch Jasmine. ?”
About: Looking for someone who will give your dog more than just a quick walk around the block? Hi, my name is Erin, and I am a dog mom to a german shepard mix named Max! I'm an active, reliable dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and giving them the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. I've been a dog owner for 5 years and have spent more than 15 years around dogs of all sizes. Over that time, I've developed a genuine love for dogs and a strong appreciation for how different every dog's personality, energy level, and needs can be. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love the opportunity to give them the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. I'm also a runner who trains for races year-round, so I genuinely enjoy being active. If your dog is happiest after a longer walk or has plenty of energy to burn, we're likely to be a great match. Whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll with plenty of sniffing or a longer, more active walk, I’ll tailor the experience to their individual needs. I understand that your dog is family, and I believe they should be treated with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own. Every dog has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I’m happy to follow your instructions so their time with me feels comfortable and familiar. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Whether you need a reliable walking buddy, someone to give your pup some extra attention during the day, or simply a caring person you can trust, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Reliable evening & weekend pet care for busy local families. As I transition into pet care, I look forward to gradually expanding my availability for mid-day walks and visits. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walking, medications, bathroom breaks, crates, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits, so you know your pet is happy and safe.
“Kyleigh C. Has a caring kind personality. She's was very loving and attentive to my furbaby cat. She showed up on time each day. Was ver Responsible. She played with him, she fed him, gave him treats, and she even locked up the house after her shift was done. I would recommend her and I will use her again for my furbaby sitting services.”
About: I currently work as a bather at a grooming salon where I regularly work with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Additionally, I have worked as a vet assistant at a veterinary hospital in Fredericksburg ,at dog daycares, and at boarding facilities in the past, as well as have personally owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life! I currently work full-time at a grooming salon, but I find time while I’m off to care for pets! My schedule is available on my page. I have the utmost respect for both your home and your furry family members. As such, I treat every client, pet, and their property as if they belonged to family.
“She came and assisted while also watching my boyfriends dogs. My other sitter had failed me while I was in Delaware and Anna saved the day. Thank you so much for dropping by to check in my babies 🥰”
About: I've watched pets of family and friends since I was a kid and always enjoyed it. I always make sure to spend plenty of time and give them as much attention as they want. For dogs, I did walks, gave bathroom breaks, play time, cleaned up accidents, and fed them. For cats I'll do the same, except walks. I am available everyday for the foresable future, on the bright side that leaves me with no commitments where I won't be able to watch your pets For my own cats, I fill the water and food bowls daily, as well as clean the litter boxes. Throughout the day I provide them with affection or a warm lap/bed. For dogs I will make sure they're completely safe outside and watch for any other dogs or cars. Inside I will do the same with my cats.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years and truly treat every animal like my own. I currently have 5 cats, including a senior diabetic cat, so I’m experienced with specialized care, medication routines, and monitoring health needs. I also have a 1-year-old German Shepherd that I’ve raised since 6 weeks old, giving me hands-on experience with training, structure, and high-energy breeds. In addition, I have a background in veterinary science, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and providing attentive care for pets of all ages and temperaments. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, loving hands. I have a full time management job with a set schedule. I’m available every Thursday, Sunday, and late afternoon/evenings every other day. Loving on my pets and other animals brings a little more joy into my days! I live in a community based neighborhood with a walking trail. I have a medium sized, energetic pup who would love to play and keep your babies company. We go on lots of trails and bike rides.
“Warren did an awesome job looking after my babies. He sent me pictures and I could see the smiles on their faces and know they were having a great time. He gave them each individualized time and care and love. I highly recommend Warren.”
“Lucas has taken care of my 2 cats several times in the last 4 months. I am so thankful for his services. He truly loves cats & dogs & does a great job caring for my cats. He hasn’t taken care of my dog yet as I take her with me when I go away, but I would trust him with her. You can’t go wrong with Lucas!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds! I always grew up with dogs in my house! Ranging from small to big, I ‘ve also cared for cats & have two of my own! Im able to dog sit over weekends and can walk or spend time with dogs in the mornings & after work M-F! I work 8-4 pm. So I would come before and after! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, have 2 cats, and volunteer at a local dog shelter frequently! I will come to your home!
About: Hi there! My name is Wendy and I would love to be given the privilege of meeting and caring for your fur-babies. I grew up in a three-person/three dog family and helped my parents care for our dogs while I was growing up. To say I love dogs would be an understatement; I spent close to 4 years begging my parents for a dog before we finally adopted our adorable Tibetan Spaniel named Eva. Over the years, our little family grew by 3 more furry friends by the names of Luisa, Maya, and Bertie. Since moving out of my childhood home, I've adopted an 8 month old kitten named Binx. Needless to say, if I were to care for your four-legged family members they would not only be a part of your family, but a part of mine as well. I'm available all day on Monday's and Tuesday's, and every other Sunday. I also have availability every day of the week in the late afternoon/evenings so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets during the week! I will make sure all play is supervised, keep a tight grip on their leashes while walking, and prevent any door dashers from making any escapes into the great unknown.
About: Hi, my name is Kieaira! 💕 I have taken care of dogs for many years now, and also have dogs of my own. So I completely understand communication is key when your fur babies are being taken care of by someone else! Neighbors have asked me to walk there dog with my dog for many years now, and I volunteer to every time. 😊 My schedule is open to early mornings or late evenings, as I work during the day! I would prefer at least a 48 hour notice but can take 24 hour on a case by case basis. ⏰ I have two dogs, Nico and Zara, who I have adopted over the years! I have also fostered dogs from the animal shelter, and gave them comfort until they were transitioned to their new home. I understand that it takes patience, care, and genuine passion to take care of a fur baby. One of my favorite things to do is to run around with my dog, so I will be sure to have enough energy to play with your fur babies!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old Trap
Raven takes such good care of my cats that I always feel comfortable and confident leaving them in her care! She keeps me updated and sends super cute pictures with every visit. My shy little cat was won over by Raven, which is a true positive review since it normally takes her days to get used to new people.
Raven was great as per usual. I was gone for an entire week. I have two inside/outside feral rescue cats. They are very antisocial and skiddish. This time, at least one of them signaled stress by using my office as a litterbox. Raven took care of it and closed the door. She did a great job dealing with it. By the end of the week both were allowing themselves to be seen (with displeasure) but not hiding. That is progress in their case. Because of their independence, I only have Raven drop in for a short visit daily. I highly recommend Raven.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Old Trap
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,524 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Trap. 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 Trap. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
