About: Hello! I'm Valentina! I have experience caring for pets of different ages and needs, including my 10 year old cat and my sister’s 4 year old dog. Most recently, I cared for a Giant Schnauzer puppy right through his crazy growth spurt, from the day he came home at 3 months old all the way until he was 7 months old! Working with a high energy, big pup takes a lot of patience, consistency, and structure, so I kept him on a solid daily routine with twice a day walks to burn off that puppy energy and practice good leash manners. I’m also a very active person and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying on the move, so I love being able to bring that energy and enthusiasm into caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule and I’m generally available for walks and drop-in visits in the morning from 7:30 to 9:30 AM and in the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. A little advance notice is always appreciated so I can plan my day and make sure I can give your pup the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their familiar routine. I find that pets tend to feel more relaxed and at ease in their own space, especially when their owners are away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or any special instructions, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.

“Elise gave great regular updates while she checked in on my cat while I was gone. Her questions and info gave me the confidence to not have to worry while away, and I returned home to a happy cat and tidy food and litter areas. I'll definitely look to book Elise again next time.”

About: As a proud dog parent to my pup, Ollie, for the past 6 years, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! While Ollie is currently staying with my parents as I settle into the DMV area, I’m excited to share that same love and attention with other pets. I’m especially great with energetic, playful dogs who love staying active, whether that means long walks, outdoor adventures, or plenty of playtime! I also enjoy working with puppies and reinforcing basic training commands like sit, stay, and come through patience and positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pup needs extra exercise, a little structure, or just lots of love and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I treat every dog like my own and believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos, communication, and peace of mind! I offer a flexible schedule to accommodate busy pet parents! During the week, I’m available for early morning visits and walks before 8 AM, as well as evenings after 5 PM. I also have open availability throughout the weekends, making it easy to schedule walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your furry friend! I’ll also be available during the remaining U.S. holidays through the end of 2026, including Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. Whether you need consistent weekly care, weekend help, or someone reliable during holiday travel, I’m happy to help keep your pup loved, active, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pup, Ollie. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (when instructed), and any specific care needs. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised appropriately, and their environment remains clean and comfortable. I also believe communication is key! I’m happy to provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and every pet parent feel at ease!

About: I provide constant care and very flexible hours! I have lived with my best friend Lucky which I have raised since he was 3 weeks old. He has lived with me for the last 10 years and I hope I gave him the love he deserves as much as I received from him. I don't know many tricks and skills, but I am fairly knowledgeable with potty training and walking. I don't offer many extra skills to go along with taking care of your pals, but I do make sure they are watched constantly and walked properly. I will try to show them an amazing time! I work full time at home so I can keep a consistent schedule! Walks and potty breaks are no problem for me as well as feeding! I like to keep a close watch to make sure their needs are met. I will try to walk often so that the dogs aren't sitting bored at home!

I'm sure this was a unique situation but Chloe made it work and did an excellent job. I highly recommend using Chloe, Thank you so much!”

“Highly, highly, highly recommend working with Roshni! Roshni is AMAZING. We could not have asked for more from a sitter-she was incredibly communicative and gave detailed reports on how "the kids" were doing. Right away, I felt like we really connected on care concerns, and she asked wonderful follow up questions to unsure their needs were met. One of our cats is very tempestuous, and he does not take kindly to anyone. She gave him his space, but still reported on his interactions! Roshni was also dependable not only for time, but checking on a house concern we had, and reporting back to us as soon as she could while she was at the house. Definitely regulars for as long as Roshni will have us! :)”

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life, and with over 22 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, that passion has only grown. I have dogs and cats myself. Every pet I care for is treated like family — with patience, attention, and genuine love. I offer overnight stays in your home, in-home visits, and walks — tailored to whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be nerve-wracking — that's why I send photo updates throughout our time together, so you always know your best friend is happy and safe. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority, every single time. 🐾 My schedule is flexible. I'm currently a realtor in the DMV and can work my schedule into pet sitting. I can stay at client's houses too. For overnight stays, I stay in your home to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible — same bed, same environment, same comfort. I follow their regular feeding schedule, give plenty of playtime and affection, and make sure they're never alone for long stretches. For in-home visits and walks, I come to you on the schedule that works for your pet — whether that's a quick midday potty break, a feeding visit, or a full walk to burn off energy. Each visit includes fresh water, playtime, and lots of love, tailored to your pet's personality and needs. Throughout every service, I send photo updates so you can see first hand that your pet is happy, relaxed, and well cared for — even when you're miles away. With 22+ years of experience, I've learned that every pet is different, so I always adjust my approach to match their individual routine, temperament, and comfort level.

About: Growing up, we had almost as many dogs as we did kids in the house. My parents were huge pet people, so I guess they just passed it down to me as well however, even as a child, I always had a love of animals. There were many times that I brought home birdies with broken wings, or tried to sneak frog in the house without my mom noticing. My love for animals only grew the older I got but also my education. Being able to work directly under licensed veterinarians, gave me the opportunity to understand treatment plans for minor and major issues that animals can face. I was given the opportunity to work with newborn animals along with those that require senior care. I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of animals that are expecting and helping to bring new life into the world. It was during this time, but many friends and neighbors took the opportunity to ask me to watch their animals. Anytime they went on vacation or maybe just had to take a long business trip. Even when an animal is in their home, having a new person around can still sometimes be nerve-racking. But I take pride in knowing that I’m able to make sure they feel comfortable and loved even when their parents are away. I work from home teaching English as a second language. This allows me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I have open availability Monday through Friday. I’m also able to help out on the weekends depending on the timing. However, I’m willing to be flexible. Traveling as an adult with pets can sometimes be difficult. I remember being stressed over whether or not I’ve picked the right boarding facility, or worrying that they would have too many differences in their day-to-day routine while I was away. Pets deserve to feel just as loved and cared for even when moms and dads need a vacation. I would love to be able to provide both you owners and your pets with a sense of trust and security.

Alexis did such an amazing job with my senior cat, Cayenne. She gave amazing Rover reports/photos and she was able to administer fluids for my cat. He is 19 years old and needs a lot of gentle care and attention. Going out of town is generally very stressful for us to leave Cayenne at home, but he clearly loved her!! I will 100% be using her again if we go out of town.

We had booked Juan for four days to watch our cat. Unfortunately, a storm caused us to have to cancel our trip after the first day. Juan worked with us and Rover on how to move forward. On that one day we had his services, he was very communicative, sent photos and videos playing with our cat, and overall checked off all our boxes. Excellent experience working with him!

Joaquin was great! He was super accommodating about changing my cat's feeding plan after her automatic feeder disconnected from the internet while I was gone, which I really appreciated. I was also grateful that he took the initiative to clean up hairballs while I was gone - with three cats, I was expecting to come back to a lot of cleaning, so this was a really nice bonus. I'd definitely rehire him

Elisabeth was an absolute lifesaver while I was traveling! She was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with my cat, Coco. I was away for over 20 days, and I could tell that Coco was well cared for and didn’t feel nearly as lonely while I was gone. Elisabeth was also extremely responsible and flexible with the key handoffs. We had to coordinate the key a few different times, and she even offered to drop it off with my friend, which I really appreciated. She also took so many adorable photos of Coco without me even having to ask. Getting all those cute updates made me miss Coco a little less while I was away. I’m so grateful to Elisabeth for taking such great care of Coco, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Coco again! ❤️

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pimmit Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
