“Natalie was the best rover we could ask for. We booked her for about a week for drop in sessions and she had great communication, was super sweet and went above and beyond. She left our house and dogs in better condition than we left them in. She consistently kept communication while on vacation and that gave us peace of mind. We would rather book with her than have family watch our dogs. We highly recommend Natalie.”
“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.”
About: Cat Expert: Six years of caring for my own cat taught me how to give long-term love and support (feeding, grooming, and lots of cuddles!). Dog Buddy: I easily connect with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am confident in providing active, safe walks and giving your pup plenty of one-on-one attention. Cozy Overnights: I would be happy to stay overnight at your home! This is the best way to ensure your pet doesn't miss you too much, their routine stays perfect, and they feel safe and secure while you are away. I'm currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets. I'm available from 6 a.m. and can take care of your pets at a time convenient for you. I don't work on Saturdays. Unfortunately, I can't host your animals at my home, but I'll be happy to care for them on your property. Rest assured, they won't get bored.

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!”
“Maria was phenomenal and provided such great feedback with my not-so-perfect little angel! And she was incredibly quick to respond with such short notice! I'm so thankful and we're so happy to have found Maria!”
“Piper was amazing with Molly! she was updating me about her and made sure to give her plenty of love and cuddles! Molly is a shy dog with new people and she opened up to piper so fast! 💗 will continue to book with her!”

“Jazmyne was wonderful! We booked very last minute after realizing we needed help for our long vacation and she was very accommodating and helpful with that. Her check ins with pictures were reassuring while we were away and she did such a great job taking care of our cats. It was also our first time using Rover and she helped with the app and made the experience great. We highly recommend and intend to rebook for our next trip!”
“Leslie is great! She checks in on my cat when I am out of town. Making sure she gets her meds, food, and a clean litter box. I definitely recommend her to look after your pets!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet lover who worked at a pet store for a year and has spent years dog sitting and walking for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine since I currently pet sit full time. I plan my days around each pet’s schedule, including walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring they get consistent attention and care. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine. For house sitting, I keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get exercise or bathroom breaks, and feel cared for while you’re away. During dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging walks that match your dog’s energy level. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making pets feel relaxed and happy.
About: Hey I’m Taylor McDaniels and is 23 years old. I have been having pets my whole life. Sometime in the future I want to be a veterinarian. Also, I have experience of taking of other pets even had business of my own doing dog walking and pet sitting. I had also volunteered at an animal shelter cleaning kennels, dog walking and just simply playing with them. Right now I have two reptiles living in my home a snake and a bearded dragon. I had 3 cats, 5 dogs, a hamster, an iguana and rabbit. I enjoy a pets company I have no problem taking care of any pets. I have been wanting to be a vet since I was in 6th grade and love working with pets.
“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.”
“Noelle is fantastic with both our senior dog and our puppy. The first day after I returned home, both dogs watched and waited for her to come play with them, and were sorely disappointed that they were stuck with boring ole’ Mom again. We will certainly use Noelle again when we need someone to love on our pups as much as we do, and we highly recommend her. Thanks, Noelle!”
“Alexis was great with our very energetic but sweet 70lb labradodle. She made visits 2x daily while we were gone and came as promised to feed her and keep her company. It was also a nice surprise to see that she did our dishes while away. Would definitely recommend Alexis to care for your fur babies :)”
About: I grew up on a ranch, so animals have been part of my daily life forever. I’ve cared for and trained all kinds of dogs—high-energy working breeds, stubborn geniuses, anxious sweethearts, and senior lounge pros. I’m big on calm structure, positive reinforcement, and keeping routines consistent. Walks, meals, playtime, basic manners, and lots of attention included. If your dog has quirks, I’ve probably met their twin. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, meals, and just general supervision. That also means your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can stick closely to whatever routine they’re used to. I’m responsive with messages and happy to send photo updates so you know your pup is doing great. If your dog has specific timing needs (feeding windows, meds, preferred walk times), just tell me and I’ll follow it. Safety is the priority. I have a big, fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and I’m careful about doors, gates, and leash use so nobody does an unplanned “see ya later” sprint. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and pay attention to body language to make sure everyone stays comfortable. I’m happy to separate dogs when needed (meals, rest time, or just different energy levels), and I’ll message you quickly if anything seems off. Photo updates included.
“Trent took great care of our pet, and made sure to keep the pets area tidy for us! Trent made our first experience a great one with great questions, clear communication and punctuality! We hope we can utilize you again in the near future.”

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!
Thank you, Nikki, for taking such great care of Winston and walking him while I was out of town. I really appreciated the updates and knowing he was in good hands. Winston was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with you. Thanks again for your kindness and reliability!
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!
Loved my experience with this capable dog sitter! She spent her own time to come and meet and greet the dogs and make sure she became familiar with their set up and what they needed. She was punctual and gave great feedback about how the visit went. I will absolutely use her again! The dogs really like her!

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 .
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Hill. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
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.
