About: I have had pets all my life, from growing up through adulthood. Your dog will become one of our family while away from you. You get 4 dog sitters for the price of 1 as we are a family of 4 looking to care for dogs in our home. That means 4x the cuddles for your pup! As I do not work during the days I will be caring for your dogs, walks are given on demand and/or on a schedule as provided by you! We live on almost a full acre of property, giving your dog ample space to run, play and get exercise. At night time, your dog has his/her choice of beds to snuggle up in as I allow dogs to sleep in all beds in my home. Please be aware that we do have 1 cat of our own. She has been around several dogs and always does well!
“Katie quickly responded to my drop in request and took great care of my pets. She provided details and pictures of my pets while she dropped in, and eased any worries I had while I was away. I am very happy with the service she provided. I will request her pet sitting services again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Thank you for the last min booking. We wouldn't have been able to go on our family trip without you. You were awesome with our diabetic cat given her skittishness with strangers and temperamental attitude. Thank you for the constant communication and photos as well.”
About: I love animals of all kinds, I currently own two dogs, both pitbull mixes, a cat and 16 chickens. I have a certified license to train dogs and I love just hanging out with them playing with them or taking a walk outside. I am available every day from Monday through Friday starting at 8 AM after I drop off my son at school until 3 PM when I have to pick him up from school again. I handle each dog and cat differently based on their needs and past experience. Nothing will be done without the owners previous permission and prior discussion.
“Ronda was great! She did supportive care for my two cats and my dog for about a week while I was working late shifts and had to sleep through their normal breakfast time. She was very thorough and sent lots of pictures :)”

About: Hi! My name is Kylie, and I’m an animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have one cat, Nova, who keeps me company, but I grew up surrounded by animals, including cats & dogs. My professional experience includes working for 5 years as a kennel technician at a boarding kennel in Culpeper, where I cared for a wide variety of dog breeds, personalities, and energy levels. During my time there, I gained valuable experience with feeding, exercise, cleaning, monitoring pets’ health and behavior, and administering medications to dogs who needed them. I understand that every dog is different, and I strive to provide care that fits each pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply a little extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! I look forward to getting to know you and your furry friends. 🐾 I’m available anytime for drop-in visits to care for your pets, ensuring they receive the attention and love they need while you’re away. I appreciate your interest, but I currently do not provide pet care in my home. I focus on drop-in pet sitting for your furry friends.

For my cat aka my sisters cat I also feed her when my sister isn’t home.

My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind so they can fully enjoy their vacation. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, are well cared for, fed on time, and given any necessary medications.
“This is the second time we have had the pleasure of having Lauren sit for our cats, KC and Phoenix. Lauren visited our house once a day while we were on vacation and each time sent us adorable pictures of the kitties. Lauren also took care of the less glamorous part of sitting cats and we (and the cats) greatly appreciate her. Lauren is a joy to work with and I highly recommend her for cat or dog sitting!”

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 Rixeyville 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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.
