About: I’ve taken care of a verity of pets and owned anything from fish, Reptiles, Rodents, Cats, and Dogs. I can also do additional tasks such as cleaning and plant care. I am versatile and can stay at the house or commute. I am also experienced at giving medications to animals as well. Feel free to ask me any questions regarding the sitting or my experience related to pet sitting. I can let sit anytime before/after classes. I’m am currently attending Liberty University and am taking classes throughout the week. Feel free to ask any questions related to the schedule. I make sure that the animals are comfortable, fed, and refreshed before resting. If I am eating at the place I’m house sitting I make sure the animals are fed before I eat (also makes it easier to avoid prying eyes watching me while I eat). Before I end the day I make sure everything is done and that the house is secure. Before the owners come back I make sure to clean and wash everything (if the owners don’t mind me doing this).

Absolutely brilliant care from Jennifer. Extremely thorough, professional, and exceptionally compassionate care for my 3 dogs. She went above and beyond to make my pets (and us) feel comfortable & confident. Don’t think we could’ve asked for any better. Five Stars plus.

Madison is superb. She’s incredibly responsive and responsible. We were nervous about leaving our pups behind and concerned we might have trouble finding someone brave AND loving enough to care for the bully breed. Madison didn’t flinch and our dogs took to her immediately. She is professional, kind, punctual, caring, and will even send photos, which is incredibly thoughtful and reassuring. We won’t hesitate to rely on Madison in the future and highly recommend her services to others.

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!

Emma was awesome! She made sure to communicate every time she stopped by the house to feed and check on the pets. Our cat who doesn’t always like everyone was in love with her! So you know she has good energy. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and Emma made sure we knew our pets were doing well and were comfortable and cared for. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.

About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs, including my own and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each dog’s individual routine. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos. My background in behavior has also taught me to remain calm, observant, and consistent with every pet. I work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance to ensure your pet receives dependable, unrushed care. I will follow your cat’s normal routine and all care instructions closely. I’ll keep doors and windows secure, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime or quiet companionship, and send regular photo updates after each visit.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in preschool. My family has always had lots of pets throughout the house all through my childhood! I have lots of experience in giving baths, medicine, lots of cuddles and care! I will be sending plenty of pictures so you can see what your pet is up to at all times! I am currently working for myself while also working from home. This gives me all the time in the world to be just as attentive as you would be to your fur baby! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and open space for walks/jogs. My house is large enough to keep small dogs and larger dogs separated to ensure there are no accidents.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a teacher, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to routines and details. I know how important consistency is, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and cuddle, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I know leaving your pet with someone else takes trust, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay or visit. I’m currently on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. During the school year, my availability is typically in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and school breaks. I’ll always communicate my schedule clearly and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive to routines, follow any instructions you provide, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: Throughout my life, me and my family have constantly had dogs and cats in and out of the house, ranging from small puppies/kittens to largest dogs. I’ve rescued so many animals with my mother and it has become a norm to be around multiple at a time.I love being with animals and enjoy spending time with all types.

About: I stand out because I combine years of hands‑on pet care with formal training in progress. At home I care for a playful 9‑month‑old pup, a tiny 18‑year‑old chihuahua, plus beetles and bearded dragons—so I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and delicate seniors, as well as exotic pets. My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rustburg on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 319 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rustburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rustburg 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.

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

  • 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
