“Kaylee is great, my anxious little dog warmed up pretty quick and was always happy to see her, as was kitty. She communicates well also. Thanks for taking care of her Kaylee! I will 100% book with you again.”
About: I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds. I love all animals, young and old. I’m looking forward to taking care of your fur baby!! I work 2 part time/student assistant jobs so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am always willing to schedule and plan ahead as well. I have one cat at home, but that’s it. I am not afraid to work with dogs that are excited or jumpy and I can take them in and out of their crates!
About: Had animals my entire life, my children are 10 & 12 and have grown up with dogs. Their babysitter they went to for years, had 5 dachshunds that they both adored. We built our home 3 years ago and currently do not have a pet of our own, so this would be perfect for us to do! Depending on the day, our routine varies. There will be plenty of time to spend with the dog/dogs every day of the week! My home is a safe environment and perfect neighborhood to walk a dog. Depending on the need of the dog, all of the dogs I watch will be cared for in a way that best suits their needs along with attention and exercise. House is quiet after 9PM and if not crate trained, will have a designated safe, comfortable spot in the house to sleep.
“Maria was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our two kitties (one diabetic and needing insulin twice a day and the other chronically terrified of strangers). She was in touch regarding clarification on the medicine - which was very much appreciated - and gave us updates throughout her visits including that our little scared cat actually accepted pets from her on the last day (we were shocked and thrilled!). We look forward to using Maria's services again in the future.”
About: Growing up living with my mom, we always had 4 dogs and now I have 2 dogs! My wife rovers and I help her sometimes but figured I'd start my own account! This is fun and I enjoy it! I work from home(sometimes have to travel) so it's easy checking in on pets or staying elsewhere if needed! I work from him so checking in on pets or staying at a house is easy and flexible for me! I do have to travel sometimes. I have 2 dogs right now that are small and very friendly. I have a fenced in yard. Working from home makes it easy to travel to take care of dogs!
About: I have years of personal experience with numerous breeds of dogs that I have owned. Your fur family member will be in great hands! I also have sat many breeds large and same and have many references. My home is a nice quiet place for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. I don't have any of my own personal pets and there aren't any small children. I only dog sit for one family at a time so your pet can get his or her own individual care. I also allow pets on furniture and in my bed at night. Each pet gets walked daily along with alot of play time to get rid of all the pent up energy. Lots of love and cuddles also!
“Janie is absolutely amazing! She has been coming over 2-3 times a week for the past few months to let our puppy and older dog out for a potty and play break and she is wonderful. She is great with our dogs and when we see her out and about our dogs go crazy to see her. Her schedule has been so flexible with me getting a new job and needing her to come at different times of the day and she provides us updates on how our dogs are doing every time she comes over. We LOVE Janie!”
“Nicole is so wonderful with all three of our animals! We have two dogs and a cat. Our dogs love when she comes over and plays with them outside! We’ll be using Nicole for all our animal needs.”
About: I have grown up with almost any animal you can imagine. Very competent to care for dogs, cats, horses, or even chickens and other farm animals. I am also a nurse, so can administer medications and injections if ordered by your veterinarian. I would love to put your mind at ease knowing your animal is safe and loved while you’re away. I am currently only working two shifts per week so my availability is pretty open, as long as I am notified ahead of time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to see if our schedules would align well for me to board your pet! I have a fenced in yard (1/2 acre) plus 4.5 more acres to walk on a lead.. also we have 3 dogs (which vary greatly in size) that I would love to have company over to play and snuggle.
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care.

“Celene was an absolute life saver. My dog sitter cancelled a few days before my vacation and I was very worried about not just finding someone, but someone that my dogs would enjoy being with. As soon as I met her and my dogs welcomed her I could tell they were in good hands. She was very informative with her 3 visits a day and sent pictures as well as updated if something seemed off with them or if they were extra happy to see her. I truly appreciate her more than words can explain and I’m so deeply grateful that my fur babies were well taken care of and appreciated. Thank you again Celene.”
About: For visiting you're special fur babies, I am available to provide potty breaks, walks, changing of food and water, exercise, and play time. For overnight care, all of the above is also applied as well as making sure that your animals feel safe and secure while you're away. Updates on your animal can also be given hourly. I have been dog sitting for about seven years, self-employed. I've always loved dog sitting, since I've grown up around dogs my entire life. My late puppy Delilah suffered from epilepsy, so I am experienced with handling seizures as well as providing medication. I am also experienced with elderly dogs, and helping them get around. if you have any more questions please contact me. Nice to meet you! I’m currently a college student so I’m home for a good majority of the week! Most of my coursework is online, which makes me able to have more time to dedicate towards the care for your pets! For home care, I will keep your dogs on a leash outside at all times! I also will make sure that your animals are safe by keeping a close eye on them!

About: I understand that people need services for their pets as most people are heading back to work after being remote for over a year. Most people are heading back to the office four times a week in 2026. I work from home three to four days a week so I am able to provide the extra care at an affordable rate in the comforts of your own home. I regularly house sit for different animals. I have watched horses, lambs, dogs, & cats. I grew up with always having pets and never without. I’m available at different times throughout the week and mornings on the weekend since I work full time. Since I work from home, I would love to help other pet owners. Feel free to message for additional details. I took a break from Rover due to the loss of my golden retriever. But I am happy to be back and assist anyone. I can stop over to crate, let out for a potty break, house sit, and take your pet for walks. I do will offer boarding in my home for the right person. I’m pretty flexible in my time so please reach out for questions that you may have. This will allow us to get to know each other. I make sure your animal is my number one priority in my home or yours! If I have to stay a little longer; that’s totally okay. I hope you don’t mind if I bring my work laptop if my stay is over an hour.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Petersburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Petersburg. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
