About: I love dogs but not enough to steal yours because I have high morals. Does your dog have a lot of energy? Do they need to be outside and exercise? I will take them for a run, to play fetch, tug of war! Or if it’s an older dog than maybe an easy stroll around the neighborhood and back home for a nap. Each dog is different and will be treated as the best good boy (or girl). I have dog sit for friends and family in the past with no issues. So just know if you go with me your lovely pup will be cared for. I am seeking dogs to bring some joy into my life and hope that you will choose me!

About: I grew up with a house full of pets including cats, dogs, and budgies. Currently I have my own cat Cloe and a turtle named Joe. I have experience caring for my elderly childhood cat who requires chemo pills, laxatives, and special food. Im currently searching for employment so my schedule is completely open. Can work weekends and weekdays at any time, preferably weekdays 10 am to 5pm. At my apartment I care for my 4 year old feline. She likes to play with her string toy and watch cat tv. Shes very food motivated so we always have treats on hand. At my parents house we have a fenced in backyard for the dog and lots of indoor space for their 4 cats. My childhood cat needs medication and special food so he is fed seperately from the other 3 cats. Every cat i've ever owend has been exclusively indoor.

“I highly recommend Camille! She was punctual and followed all of our directions. She managed the garage entry smoothly, ensured Taffy had her meal, and most importantly, made sure the feeding dishes were cleaned up afterward. It's a huge relief to find someone so attentive to detail. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hello to every cynophile and ailurophile on here. My name is Carmen and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and if you are familiar with people from LA, you know we LOVE ALL animals. I grew up with a big family who loves animals and since I can remember we’ve always had pets at home. Back in LA we have 4 dogs, 1 turtle and now added to that 5 love birds! Anyways, I no longer live there and moved to the east coast with my partner about 2 years ago. Our new home now houses just 2 cats. One of them is a tabby cat who is 6 years old named Blinchik. He is a very outgoing cat that loves everyone and everything. My other cat is named Nala (Siamese/Tabby) and she is quite the opposite from Blinny boy. She loves to keep to herself and takes a while to trust anyone but once she is warmed up you can see her beautiful shy personality. I used to be a nanny which also meant I took care of their pets as well. I have lots experience taking care of other families pets as well as administering medications when needed. Since I’ve been a dog and cat mom, I treat other families pets like they are my own. I’m currently in grad school to become a Speech-Language Pathologist which gives me a lot of extra time to take care of your fur babies 🩷 I’m currently in my graduate program to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. I’m in school Monday-Thursday with only one class a day. That being said, it gives me lots of extra time in the afternoon/evening to fill up with some dog walking, pet sitting, and playing time. My home has a fenced yard so if your fur baby is staying with me, they will have the yard all to themselves to run around and have fun. If I am coming to your home, know that I will respect it and get the job done as well as loving your pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I have pet and house sit for several neighbors, family, and friends. I just started my residency in counseling but it will take some time before I build up my caseload. Therefore, I have a lot of extra time to play and care for your pets. I have the mornings off everyday of the week and would be happy to take your dog(s) on a walk. I also have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule so I can work around your needs! I currently only have a gold fish living with me in my apartment but I grew up with a dog and cat. I love to play with pets, take dogs on walks, and overall give your pets attention. If you leave me with instructions, I will follow them to a T!

About: Grew up in a large family, always had dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, etc. in our house! I currently dog walk for a friend, 1x each week. I am currently an empty nester living with 2 spoiled grand-cats, inherited from grown children. Love to walk, love dogs! I am an empty nester, work remote from home and have a lot of time on my hands on a daily basis. I am big walker, averaging 20-26 miles per week. I can easily take on morning, noon and evening jobs. House sitting with pets is also an option. I have extreme flexibility to cater to my clients in their homes to walk, feed and take care of their fur babies. Overnights are considered as well.

About: I've been the go to neighborhood pet sitter since I was in middle school. People trust that I will always be on time and care for their pets like they are my own! Recently ran a marathon so I can do longggg walks! My schedule is currently flexible, I am available for pet care weekdays and weekends anytime including overnight pet sitting at your house. I usually won't be able to stay the entire day but I will be back for frequently to let them out and play fetch or go for a walk. When taking clients dogs for walks, I always carry treats to distract the dog if they don't get along with other dogs and before leaving the house I double check they have plenty of water and the doors are all locked.

We also had an issue with one of our cats feeders. Laryssa had a solution that completely worked and took care of the situation easily. I have never felt so at ease leaving my cats with someone. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to two cats, Beans and Bear, and my dog, Archer! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I know every animal has their own personality, preferences, and routines, and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities, from energetic pups who need plenty of exercise and enrichment to more independent or anxious pets who need extra patience and reassurance. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to details, respectful of routines, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to accommodate your cat’s routine! I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits, including weekdays and weekends. I understand the importance of consistency, especially for cats, and I’m happy to work around their usual feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred routines to make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free by maintaining their normal routines in the familiarity of their own home. As a cat mom myself, I understand that every cat has their own personality, preferences, and boundaries, so I tailor my care to their individual needs. During visits, I make sure all essentials are taken care of, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and administering medications as needed. I also spend quality time providing playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship depending on what your cat prefers. I’m especially mindful of shy, anxious, or independent cats and always allow them to approach me at their own pace. I’ll also keep an eye on their appetite, behavior, and overall well-being and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!

About: I took care of my black lab for 8 years, including feeding, giving medications, bathing and walking. I raised my cat from 6 weeks forward, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, giving attention to/playing with, and giving any medicines needed. I currently have a 4 and 5 year old cat. I also regularly volunteered at the cat Cafe in Murfreesboro, TN before I relocated to the area. There I was responsible for playing with the cats, feeding them and cleaning litter boxes. I have worked at an animal hospital where I have gained knowledge about medical situations and some medication giving. I am also a professional toy fixer! I am currently in between jobs so I do have mostly open availability until this changes or if I have to block some time off for an interview. I am willing to stay as long as needed to keep your furbabies happy and make sure they are fully taken care of. Being sure to leave your home exactly how it was when I arrived.

Very obvious he loves dogs and takes this work seriously, which makes me less nervous to welcome someone new into our fold for the care of my big man 🐶.

As always, Sabrila took exceptional care of Cookie while I was away for three weeks. Knowing Cookie was in such loving and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. She made sure all of Cookie’s needs were met, especially considering her age, and treated her with so much patience, care, and affection. Thank you, Sabrila, for always going above and beyond. I truly appreciate everything you do for Cookie, and I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver. Highly recommended!

House clean, exactly the way I left it. Dogs fed and walked. Lots of photos which I personally appreciate. He is extremely reliable and trustworthy. I can really see that he loves what he does.

Nouf took great care of my senior dog and cat. She gave me peace of mind while my boyfriend and I were away. My cat ran out the door (because she’s crazy!) and she was able to quickly catch her and bring her back inside safely. Reliable, responsible, responsive, and gave detailed updates + lots of pictures! I would recommend her if you are looking for someone who can handle your furbabies!

Tamara and Frank were excellent dog sitters for our two golden doodles. We were away for a week and had them do house visits three times a day over Christmas Break. They were amazing with our dogs and never missed a visit despite being over the holiday. They provided so many updates and photos which really helped my anxiety. We will definitely be rebooking them for future trips!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - South Riding

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in South Riding is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 14,754 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across South Riding. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Riding 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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 Riding 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 Riding. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
