“Kimberly watched my dogs over Memorial Day weekend - she was very responsive to messages and was very kind to water my plant while I was gone as well, and sent photos of the dogs when she went twice a day. We are hoping to use her again next time we go away!”
“Mia was amazing. She is very professional and kept me updated throughout the time I was gone. She wanted to know everything about Loki and took notes to be on top of things over the weekend I had her dog sit. I strongly suggest first-time customers book with her if you want a completely stress free booking. I will 100% go with Mia the next time I need a dog sitter, knowing not only I, but my dog Loki, will have a pleasant experience.”
About: Hi, I’m Laurel! I grew up with animals my whole life and have always had a genuine passion for pets of all sizes and species. I’m fun, organized, responsible, and excited for the opportunity to help care for your pets while you’re away! What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as an individual. I understand that young, senior, and special-needs pets may require different levels of patience, attention, and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means extra playtime and structure for a young pet or a slower pace and additional attention for a senior pet. Most importantly, your babies will be cared for, loved, and treated just as if they were my own. I want you to feel confident and comfortable knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away! I currently work a full-time job, but pet care fits well into my daily routine. I’m available in the early mornings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, and some quality time before I head to work. In the evenings, I’m available for walks, playtime, dinner, and of course, plenty of snuggles and attention before bedtime. I also have much more flexibility on weekends and can dedicate additional time to your pets, whether they need longer walks, extra playtime, companionship, or just someone to keep them company. I’m organized and responsible, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to. While I do have a full-time job, I’m committed to making pet care a priority and providing dependable, loving care whenever your pets need me. I’ve grown a genuine love for animals and feel that I can bond with almost any pet. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else your pet may need. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m so looking forward to getting to know your pets, giving them plenty of love and attention, and helping you have peace of mind while you’re working, traveling, or simply away from home. Your pets’ happiness and well-being are my priority! 🐾❤️
“Erica is absolutely amazing! She took care of my fur babies, Milo and Pickle Boy, and went completely above and beyond. She always arrived right on time, took them for great walks, gave them extra snuggles, and even surprised them with treats and pup cups! She is incredibly responsible and always made sure the doors were locked securely behind her. She kept me updated every single day with pictures, letting me know exactly what they ate and what they did in the yard. She even cleaned up any messes they made. Erica is the absolute perfect choice for your dogs—I will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: I've cared for animals all my life including dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, and much more. Please consider choosing me to help you and your pets. I run a seasonal business and that allows me the extra time to do stuff that brings joy and everyone knows animals bring so much happiness! I have 2 female dogs that love to play ball in our fenced in yard. You can trust that I will treat your pets as my own.
About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by pets taught me how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and anticipate a pet's needs naturally. Caring for dogs and cats isn't just a job for me—it's second nature. Over the years, I've handled everything from high-energy puppies to gentle senior pets needing extra patience and medication. As a stay-at-home mom, my routine revolves around our home, which means your pet will rarely be left alone! I am available throughout the day for frequent potty breaks, outdoor playtime, belly rubs, and regular walks. Whether your dog needs a structured routine, continuous supervision, or just a cozy spot to lounge while we go about our day, they will get personalized, round-the-clock care and attention. We have a wonderful yard for fresh air and exercise! Because our yard is open, all outdoor time is strictly supervised and on-leash. Your dog will never be left unattended outside. Whether we’re doing a longer lead play session, routine potty breaks, or neighborhood walks, safety and security are my top priorities We have one resident cat who keeps to herself. Our home layout makes it easy to separate pets using baby gates or dedicated rooms, ensuring both your dog and my cat have their own peaceful, stress-free space.
“Absolutely amazing. She is such a lovely person and so nice to work with. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she is working with. I am going to look for her first if I ever need to book a sitter again :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Powhatan
Anna is fantastic! She took care of our two cats for about 10 days while we were out of the country, and we felt so comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated throughout our trip. It was such a relief knowing our cats were being well taken care of while we were away. We really appreciate everything she did and would definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️
Absolutely incredible sitter! If you are looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and amazing with your pets, book Sophia immediately! She helped us tremendously on super short notice to watch Sinai for multiple days and was an absolute lifesaver. Sophia is always on time, incredibly thoughtful, and Sinai loves her. Knowing Sinai was in such caring, capable hands gave us total peace of mind. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone in the area looking for top-tier care. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Emily was absolutely wonderful with Koda! She came to my home for drop-in visits and took such great care of him while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Koda was in good hands. She made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during every visit. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter!
Abigail was so wonderful with my cat. I am a first time cat mom. This was also my first time leaving my baby for a period of time. Abigail put my worries at ease. She gave me updates, and my baby looked very happy. She will be my first choice next time I need a sitter.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mia was absolutely amazing! From the very first message, she was incredibly prepared and asked all the right questions to make sure she had every detail she needed. Her note taking was so thorough, from feeding schedules to little quirks and habits, nothing was missed. Communication was fantastic too. Any time I reached out, she responded quickly and kept me updated along the way. But what really stood out was how far she went above and beyond. It was clear she genuinely cared, not just checking a box, but actually making sure everything was taken care of with real attention and love. I couldn't recommend Mia more highly. If you're looking for someone reliable, detail-oriented, and who truly cares, she's the one to book!
Eleni was amazing for us this week! We’ve never left our three dogs for this long and ended up having a few curveballs, but she graciously handled a dog in heat and a few days of unexpected diarrhea. She went above and beyond and kept us updated every step of the way. We would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat.
Celeste is wonderful! Communicative, prompt & exactly what I was looking for. She helped with the Rover ins and outs as it's been years since I've had a dog and needed to use it. She was super accommodating to my last minute booking and sends pictures at every visit. Couldn't be happier!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Powhatan is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 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 410 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Powhatan. 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 Powhatan. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
