“Awesome service. Very professional and trustworthy. I've been using Andy for years whenever needed for different dogs and I will continue to use him. He goes above and beyond to ensure your pet is taken care of the way you want. Definitely #1 on this app.”
About: I have always had a passion for pets since I was little. Once I reached high school I started taking care of pets for people in my surrounding areas. I would love to expand my experience and work with your pets while I am here in school! I am currently a student at CNU with free time in between my classes. I have time during the day, in the evenings and over the weekend. I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to help your needs. Unfountranly I can not do care in my home but I am able to travel to yours. I have reliable transportation so that will not be an issue!
About: Hi! I'm Kiarra and I live in Hampton, Va. I have two fur-children, Crimson & Bama. I have had animals all my life and adore caring for them. Please read before requesting booking!! - I do require a meet and greet for first time clients. - Dogs must come with a crate and a leash - Dogs are free to roam all day. However, if I leave the home they will be put in cages. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I currently work full time. However, I am able to come home throughtout the day to walk my dogs. After work, my dogs and I always go for long walks or the dog park. I have two friendly fur-babies that would love to keep your babies company. When I need to leave the home, I make sure all dogs are secured properly.

“Abagail did fantastic with our two cats! She kept us in the loop the entire time, played with and took care of them. Super nice and attentive! We could tell she loved taking care of cats and did a great job. We will 100% rebook her again!! Highly recommend!”
“Sheryl was great with our dog and cat while we were away for the holidays. She was caring, attentive, and followed our instructions for medications to a T. I would definitely recommend to book with her!”
“Samantha took care of our dogs (an 11 month old shih tzu who’s full of energy, and our 9 year old grumpy old man lab mix.) After using this service for the first time, I will never board my dogs again. Each received playtime and walks, being fed and it showed that Samantha loves animals. She’s great. If you need a sitter, be sure to check her out. Thanks Samantha!”
“Maggie was very responsive, communicated regularly and respectful of our home and time away. Our kitties weren’t cooperative, but Maggie made the best of it😊. We will book with her again when we go out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Poquoson
We love Ashley so much and so do our cats! The peace of mind that comes with a trustworthy pet sitter like Ashley is nearly priceless. We were recently on a cruise with extremely limited WiFi when we got a direct text from Ashley instead of the usual message in the Rover app. There was a minor issue with one of the cats getting into the cabinet where the cat food is kept, and the cats made a huge mess. Everyone was fine and Ashley cleaned up the mess. We really appreciated that she tried every method available to reach out to us to let us know about the incident. And she even went back over to our house to make sure all the cat food was in a better hiding spot!! TL;DR don’t hesitate to book with Ashley!
Highly recommend! We booked last minute so we weren’t sure if anyone would be available. Very happy with her services. She came and met our dog prior to our trip so we knew everyone would be comfortable. She kept us updated with notes and pictures throughout our time away. She was amazing!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Poquoson is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,434 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Poquoson. 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 Poquoson. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
