About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 10 years old, giving me years of experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following each owner’s specific care instructions. I’m currently job searching, as I am new to this area, so I will be available pretty much any time during daylight hours and weekends. I cannot bring pets into my apartments, but I am happy to watch someone else’s dog at their own place. I usually receive a list of things to do for the pet(s) and follow the instructions as they should be done, to ensure the pet(s) are comfortable.
“Jessica never disappoints! Even through the snow, she is dedicated to taking care of fur babies. I always have one less stress knowing Jessica is taking care of my fur baby when out of town. What a lifesaver!”
“We’ve used Piper several times now, and she’s absolutely wonderful! She’s kind, reliable, and really pays attention to our dogs and their needs. We just adore her and couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I worked part time as a vet tech at an animal rescue/hospital in my hometown and I am a former foster for Old Dog Haven. I was lucky enough to visit Villalobos, the famous pit bull rescue in New Orleans. I love all animals and would be honored for the opportunity to take care of your pets while you’re away. I work from home 2 days a week and my office is 5 minutes from home. My schedule is flexible so I am able to take time out for potty breaks, feedings, etc. Weekend boarding is available with some exceptions for weekday boarding and/or doggy daycare. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for running and playing fetch. I have an extra large kennel for those pups who are used to being kenneled at night. I am experienced in administering medications, including injections. I have 2 border collie/aussies who are tons of fun and a very sweet 4 year old cat living in my home now. I would love to keep your dog safe, warm and well cared for while you’re away!
“Cecilia was amazing!!! She watched our 3 dogs while we went camping. I was a bit nervous since one of our dogs was more newly integrated into our house, Cecilia handled it all so well! Communicative but not overly so, calm and trustworthy. We’ll definitely book with her again. I feel relieved to have found a good fit for our pack ☺️”
“Veronica took wonderful care of our 16 year old kitty, Mini! Not only was she available on pretty short term notice and able to come by to meet Mini before we left, she also navigated her complicated supplement feeding schedule extremely well! IN ADDITION!! Veronica opted to spend some extra time with the small beast (of her own accord) towards the end of our trip because she could tell she was getting pretty lonely. On top of all that, we got great pics and status updates on how she was doing after every visit. Veronica is an amazing person who will go above and beyond for your fur babies— I will definitely be asking her again next time we take a trip. Thank you Veronica!!”
“It was awesome knowing that our pets were being cared for. We didn’t worry a bit. Andrhu immediately made us feel comfortable leaving. He went above and beyond. I strongly recommend Andru to everyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“My cat Charlee was content and happy when I arrived home after a 5 day vacation. Anna's daily visits made all the difference in keeping my cat feeling safe, secure & loved.”
“Emma was great with our cat! She made sure she always had water and food, cleaned her litter box, and gave her lots of love and attention. She also sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. Will definitely book her again!”
About: Hi! I am a dog parent to a sweet Pembroke Welsh corgi and I know how important it is to find someone who truly gets your dogs need from daily routine routines to emotional comfort. I value enrichment just as much as exercise from sniff walks and food puzzles to games and new experiences. I make sure dogs get the mental stimulation they need to feel satisfied and balanced. Whether your dog is high energy or prefers a slower pace I’ll taylor their day to the unique needs. I am attentive and committed to treating your pup like one of my own with lots of love gentle structure and constant updates to keep you in the loop. I am available everyday, from 6am to 5pm (sometimes even until 8pm). My Corgi is friendly and is also ready to play (if your dog wishes to). I follow what you indicate and do what’s best for your Pup. I knos how to read dog’s body language and is ready to make them feel loved. I am attentive of what your Pup puts in their mouth, the environment they are walking around, the noises… anything that might cause trouble.
“Lauren was very patient with our skittish cat, who even allowed Lauren to pet her early during the week! Communication was good, and she was attentive to our needs during vacation. Thank you, Lauren.”
About: Pets have always been an important part of my life since I was a kid. I have had cats and dogs my entire life, I am 50 now. I have raised and trained many puppies & kittens and continued to care for them as they became seniors, some with health issues, such as cancer and kidney failure, that required special care and love. I love caring for pets as they rely on us for everything and I believe they should all be well taken care of and happy & healthy throughout their entire lives. We currently have a 15 year old cat that we rescued 11 years ago. Sadly, our dog recently passed or we would have one of each. I am truly an animal lover. I work from home selling baseball cards and collectibles so I have complete flexibility to care for your pets at the times that you and they need me. I have had pets my entire life so I am very familiar with the different care that each pet can need. They all have their own personalities and I am good with all types of animals. From high anxiety pets, I had my own, to the easy to care for and every kind in between. Whether it's your dogs or cats, I will care for yours as I have always cared for my own, with lots of love and attention.
“Jessica was so great at putting me at ease with my first trip away after getting a puppy. She came on time every day, communicated so fast, and was flexible when my travel schedule changed last minute. It’s great to have a trusted resource when needed!”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets for my family over the years, currently I’m helping my aunt with her high-energy border collie/german shepherd mix. I love taking dogs for walks, playing fetch, roughhousing with them, anything to get that energy out! I’m in between jobs right now and I’m looking to start college later in the fall. My schedule is very flexible and I have lots of free time. I’m good at following verbal/written instructions regarding boundaries within your home, as well as specific instructions about your pets needs. I’ll always ask the owner if I’m unsure about something.
“Simone was amazing! She accepted our last-minute request without hesitation and took great care of our dogs. I came home to happy pups and appreciated her clear communication, reliability, and professionalism. Would definitely book again!”
“Carley was so awesome with taking care of our pups! She sent photos of the visit and gave us updates of how it all went. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process of setting up the visits and during the visit. Would definitely have her take care of our dogs again :)”

Nikki really is awesome! We actually utilized someone else while she was taking some time away and it was even more apparent how great she is. She’s consistent, reliable and has great communication. Our pup enjoys her check-ins to help break up his day. Highly recommend 😊
Natalie was did some drop in visit with my babies for me and she was amazing!! 🥹 Our dog Thunder can be really shy and nervous and she took the time to make sure that he was comfortable with her and went potty each time! She fed our kitties and even cleaned up the mess from our special needs boy trying to eat! (He gets kibble everywhere). Constant pictures were sent which was gave me such peace of mind that our babies were well taken care of. Natalie even went above and beyond and did some of our dishes! We’re so looking forward to continuing to work with her! We have a 4 day housesitting job booked for the last week of the month and we couldn’t feel more at ease that she’ll take care of our babies the way we would. Thank you Natalie❤️❤️
Samantha was great! On the last day of our trip our rascal pups got all muddy in the yard and she helped clean them up and make sure our home wasnt too dirty when we got back. We didnt ask, she was just helpful and thoughtful without a word or hesitation. Awesome!
From my early labor to an emergency surgery (3 months apart), Mikaila went above and beyond to be available to help care for our dogs. She was communicative, reliable, and incredibly kind. It gave our family peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for during such a stressful time.
Tiantian was absolutely wonderful! I am so extremely grateful to have had her watch my little old lady pup while I was away. She was extremely punctual, compassionate, and attentive. I got stuck in the northeast due to a blizzard and she was so accommodating and willing to do 4 more visits that were not originally scheduled. Her flexibility was the reason my pupper was cared for and comfortable during all of the craziness. I got home this evening and the house was tidy, my pup was asleep, and I felt so relieved. I would 10000% rebook and recommend that you do as well!!!!
This was our third time booking Ariana for drop-in visits, and she continues to be amazing! Nickle and Dax are always so comfortable with her, and we have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring and reliable hands. She’s communicative, dependable, and always sends the sweetest updates and photos. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely keep booking with her!
Tabatha has done a wonderful job taking care of my cat and my two senior dogs, one with special needs! She was always attentive to signs they were giving her and adjusted what she did to meet those needs. She also put in extra effort when one of the dogs got sick and was able to work with me on my fluctuating schedule that sometimes needed last minute adjustments. Always communicative!

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 South Hill 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.
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 South Hill 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!
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 .

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in South Hill with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
