About: I have loved animals all my life. I currently have the pleasure of caring for 3 dogs, a bird and an outdoor cat in my home. 1 of my dogs is senior and requires medication daily. I love birds and would board your bird in a heartbeat! I think pets just make life better. Until you need to find pet care and it’s super expensive! I offer low cost pet care in my home on the weekends so that you can go on a weekend trip. One day when I retire I hope to open that up to everyday of the week, but for now I work full time. My house has a large fenced backyard where dogs can roam and play. I also have a husky/border collie and a corgi mix who would love to be a companion to your dog for the weekend. They love when friends come to play. I currently care for my moms dog every time she goes on vacation and thought, hey, why don’t I start up this little pet sitting business on the side since I enjoy having furry buddies around. Everytime Brownie comes she gets treated like a queen with lots of attention and love. Don’t you want that for your dog, instead of a cold crate at the vet? Just hire me and your dog will feel like it’s on vacation too. I work full-time so a weekend situation would be best if you want your pet to have attention all day. Otherwise, I get home at 3 everyday and would be open to boarding during the week if you were okay with that. My dogs get let out around 10 am by my husband and just lounge and sleep all day until 3 pm when I get home. It works for us :) I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs that can keep your dogs company. My other dog is senior and is separated from the bunch due to her being blind and deaf. She’s still loved like family, just in her own doggy play pen for safety. If you need senior dog care, I’m your sitter, as I have plenty of experience with my own shitzhu, Beauty. I always make sure there’s fresh water, and give snacks during the day. I dental bone a day and two meals. Whatever your dog’s food preferences are, I can do. I am used to giving medication daily as well.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 15. I started working for a groomer as a bather for 7 years and have worked at Animal Care of Gloucester for 7 years. I am very well experienced in the their well being, animal behavior, walking, feeding, medicating, bathing. I would love to be able to help take care of animals in my free time. From puppies to seniors I have worked with them all. I am currently working looking for work but I would love to spend my free time taking care of animals. I do have my son every other weekend, so I will be available for pet sitting overnight every other weekend. I live at the end of a quarter mile dirt road off of the main streets, I do not have a fenced in yard but am able to leash walk as many times a day as needed. I have 5 babies of my own, 1 dogs, 2 cats, and a cockatiel that are very friendly and live other animals. I can easily crate if needed and provided and have a pet safe home. I am currently looking for work so anytime is perfectly fine. I do take & pick my son up from school everyday at 8:30am and 3:30pm. I can easily crate pets if needed. I live at the end of a quarter mile dirt road so there is very little traffic and plenty of space for walks.

About: Animals have always been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home where there were always dogs and cats around, caring for them wasn’t just a responsibility, it was part of daily life. Over the years, I have personally raised and cared for three dogs of my own, each with different personalities and needs, which taught me patience, structure, and how to connect with animals on an individual level. Most recently, I adopted another dog into the family, adding even more joy and playful to the house. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I have experienced it all training, playtime, feeding routines, crate care, walks, and of course, lots of cuddles. Whether your pet is shy or social, active or relaxed, we understand how to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I have a partner who has been pet sitting for her friends and co-workers last 4 years. I work at shipyard, but my work is pretty flexible that I can check out our dogs or any other pet frequently to make sure they receive enough attention love and most importantly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment where dogs can relax and be themselves. I have a fully fenced big yard for safe outdoor play, and I supervise all interactions to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to crate preferences and bedtime habits — so they feel right at home. I never use harsh corrections; instead, I rely on positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance. I also keep my home clean, pet-proofed, and free of anything unsafe. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, we make sure they always feel safe, respect. I will keep sending regular updates and pictures or videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands

Rhianna took great care of our very shy, skittish cat. He usually hides when new people enter the apartment. She was able to find him each day and even sent me pictures! I’m happy with the care she gave our cat, Toast!

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers and have been surrounded by them ever since! I affectionately call my dog and cat "the boys" and am always working to make sure they have the best life possible. I was a dog walker in Richmond and worked with many different types of dogs and temperament's. From French Bulldogs who hate skateboards to a Great Pyrenes mix who just wanted to cuddle. I cared for my childhood dog when he had cancer and have had my current dog since he was a puppy, giving me experiences in the many stages of life and health. I've worked with a trainer and am familiar with best leash walking practices and reading dog body language. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am able to spend much of my time on pet care and services. I am happy to take your pets on "field trips" to my favorite local trails if that is something you're interested in. Safety is of upmost concern for me. Your dog will always be on a lead or in a fenced in backyard. I have experience with leash aggression so I will also prioritize avoiding other dogs on walks when necessary.

When we got home, Leonhard came running to the door to greet Morcos. He was confused to see us I think. It's always so relieving to come home to happy cats, and it lets us relax with family when we know they're being so well cared for.

About: I've cared for dogs all my life and have done pet sitting for multiple coworkers and family members over the years. I am comfortable with multiple dogs, large and small breeds, and high-drive breeds. I have knowledge in pet first aid and am comfortable with medication administration. I pride myself in making sure your pet is safe, happy, and comfortable! I follow detailed instructions on pet care and respect the home. Open to early walks and have good stamina for high-energy activities (like hiking, jogging, or long walks). Love doing basic grooming if your pet needs it (bath, brushing, detangling) with the exception of nail cutting. I am patient, caring, and friendly, and am comfortable with nervous/anxious pets. Provide frequent and daily pictures/updates of your pet. I am currently a full-time night shift nursing student with no other obligations. My schedule is open 24/7, weekdays and weekends (except Monday and Wednesday from 5-10:30 pm). I am open to early walks/sits and late nights as long as it's not a school night. I have a 70-pound Aussie/Pyrenees dog named Mochi and a short-haired tabby cat named Piper. I have a big open yard, a large 8-panel steel play pen, multiple leashes and positive reinforcement tools (clickers and treats), and enrichment toys for them. Mochi suffers from pancreatitis, so she gets a special diet low in fat and high in protein. I've nailed her diet and she's doing great!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Port Haywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 20 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Port Haywood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.

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.
