My little guy does not warm up quickly but Morgan was great with him! She sent lots of pictures and videos for the week I was gone and I felt like he was well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend Morgan!

About: Hello everyone, my name is Alexandria and I love all animals, particularly dogs. I have grown up with dogs and cats practically my entire life, raising most of them since they were puppies. I currently have two dogs of my own — Pepper, my 10-year-old Dachshund mix, and Carson, my 8-year-old French Bulldog. Both of my dogs are on the smaller side, so my preference is to watch smaller dogs, as they tend to be the best fit for our home dynamic. I joined Rover to earn additional income, as well as to provide a companion for my dogs to hang out and socialize with. My schedule is pretty flexible, which means I can give your fur baby plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I am looking forward to meeting your little fur baby and providing them with a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. Because my hours are not rigid, I am able to adapt to just about any routine — whether your dog needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or a specific feeding schedule, I can make it work. Whatever your dog’s routine looks like at home, just let me know and I will do my best to match it as closely as possible. And if for any reason I am unable to accommodate something specific, I will always be upfront and let you know before booking so there are no surprises. Your dog’s comfort and consistency are always my priority. When caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, my top priority is making sure your dog feels as comfortable and at ease as possible. I believe in sticking to your dog’s established routine, because familiarity goes a long way in keeping them calm and happy while you’re away. I provide walks in the morning, midday, and in the evening to make sure your pup stays active and gets plenty of fresh air. Feeding is always done according to your dog’s schedule and dietary instructions — I will follow whatever routine you have at home so there are no disruptions to what your dog is used to. I also take the time to understand the individual needs of each dog in my care. Every dog is different, and I want to make sure I’m attentive to their personality, comfort level, and any special requirements they may have. My goal is simply to do my very best to provide a safe, loving, and consistent experience for your fur baby until you return.

Mia was very attentive to our girls and took care of the house while we were away. Very communicative with updates multiple times per day together with pics and good questions about the dogs or the house (the power went out for an hour and the dogs caught a critter in the back yard). Mia was up front about her schedule and kept us up to date about her needs. Overall - the dogs loved her and we will work with Mia again if schedules work.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid. I have experience with dogs from puppies to seniors . While your fur baby is in my care I’ll make sure to communicate and send pictures so that you can always know how your baby is doing. Right now I’m working part time so I’ll have more time on my schedule to do more walks. I set my own schedule so if your dog needs to be walked more than once I can accommodate that need. I’m always making sure that their collars, leash , and harnesses are secure before stepping out . I make sure to always have water on hand for those times they may become thirsty. I send photos while out as well while in my care. I also make sure to have all contact information and preferred vets on hand in case of an emergency .

Carson was great! Communicative, helpful, and honest. He got along with all our herd, even our older dog who is wary of anyone except us. Carson is an anthropomorphic personification of Xanax for critters and seems like he has a calming presence on anxious animals. We will be booking him again and watching his future career in veterinary medicine with interest.

Emily is highly dependable and has a great rapport with our puppy. She is patient, friendly, and clearly has a love for animals. I need someone to watch our pup who communicates effectively and in a timely manner and she definitely is that person. We will be requesting Emily to be our dog sitter every time we aren't around.

Ashley was excellent! First time leaving our pets with someone else, it was a big deal. Luckily Ashley was able to watch our pets and our home, so they were more comfortable. She even took care of our son's beta fish Taco. Our dogs loved her and we will be using her again, as well as recommend her to anyone.

Eric took great care of my 4 babies while I was away for surgery. He made a stressful trip more manageable for me, knowing I had a reliable and experienced sitter who could stay in my home where my pets feel most safe. I've had situations in the past where my trips were disrupted due to my dogs anxious barking, but Eric won my babies over and had no issues at all with them. I'd highly recommend Eric.

Jill was absolutely fantastic with both my dog and my cat! Since they are both elderly, they require a bit of extra grace and attention, and Jill showed incredible patience with my dog, who really needed it. I felt completely comfortable with her coming in and out of our home, and her communication was exactly what we needed to feel at ease while away. It is clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. Jill is definitely a five-star sitter, and I can’t recommend her enough!

About: Hey! I’m Savannah, I just graduated from esthetician school and now working as an Esthetician in Buckhead! From birth I’ve always been surrounded by dogs from Dobermans to Pomeranians. I’ve always had a huge heart for animals, especially dogs, and I’d love to help care for yours while you’re away. I have recently gotten three kittens and have fallen in love with cats now. As someone trained in both skincare and healthcare, (from lifeguarding growing up) I know how important it is to be detail oriented, compassionate, and trustworthy. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving your pup extra snuggles, or going on energy burning walks, I’m committed to giving your fur baby the love and attention they deserve. Let me know your animals needs, routines, quirks, and I’ll take care of them like they’re my own. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet and greet! I’d love to get to know you and your fur baby! I’m currently working part-time as a licensed esthetician but have plenty of time to work around any days you would need! I would be available mostly during the week and holidays! When pets stay with me, they become part of the family! I create a calm, cozy, and pet safe environment where they can feel comfortable, loved, and secure. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to their pace and needs.

This was our second time requesting Joanna's services to take care of our two dogs. She's always so kind and communicative. She made sure to send plenty of pictures and updates during her stay. She's also clearly a dog lover, as she takes such great care of our boys and they love her dearly. They're so comfortable around her. Our house was also in great shape when we got back. We couldn't ask for more & at this point she's really the only person we'd trust to take care of our dogs!

After my regular sitter cancelled because of family issues I was lucky to find Ariel. She came before the days I needed for a meet n greet. Both of my Boys were fighting over her attention as soon as she got here. I will definitely use her again. My boys are spoiled and love cuddle time. One is a “talker” and she sis great with both.

Ashley was a very big help on relatively short notice. One of my dogs can be very hesitant around strangers and despite a positive meet and greet prior to the sit, he was not accepting of her when she arrived. She kept an open line of communication, figured out a plan, and ended up resolving the issue and the sit went well. My dogs are not always the easiest to take care of but Ashley did not bat an eye and tackled the issues head on. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a sitter and cant thank her enough for her patience and flexibility.

About: I am a 20-year-old dog sitter with 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a proud owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of providing pets with love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment while their owners are away. I am currently studying to become a veterinarian, which has strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, and well-being. I am passionate about providing dependable, compassionate care and treating every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. I'm a full time pet sitter full time student I work around my schedule and time during weekly sittings so everyone is happy and a get my work done As a dog owner myself, with two dogs of my own, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and loving care. I also keep pet areas clean, follow any special instructions provided by owners, and provide updates with photos and messages so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. As a veterinary student, I pay close attention to pets’ overall well-being and can recognize when something seems unusual, allowing me to communicate any concerns promptly. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just as they would be with their own family.

Sara was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home for a full week to take care of our two dogs, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met her, she was kind, responsible, and made us feel completely at ease. She kept us updated with photos and messages, took wonderful care of our babies, and treated our home with so much respect. The best part? My dogs absolutely adored her. They looked so happy, relaxed, and loved while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would trust Sara with my pets again without hesitation and recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and genuinely loving with animals. Thank you, Sara, for taking such incredible care of our babies!

I just wanted to saw we are new to the area and we were looking for a reliable, safe person to care for our pets. We were able to connect with Morgan and she took care of all 4 of our babies and made sure to give us constant updates. Our torte who isn’t the most friendly of cats, ended up laying on Morgan’s lap and spending a lot of time with her :) We had an emergency at the end of our vacation and Morgan was willing to stay extra to look after our pets to help us out. We will be using her from here on out whenever we need help with our babies. She has a real talent for this kind of work!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rockbridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Rockbridge on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,528 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rockbridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Rockbridge walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Rockbridge maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rockbridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockbridge. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
