About: I currently work as a bather at a grooming salon where I regularly work with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Additionally, I have worked as a vet assistant at a veterinary hospital in Fredericksburg ,at dog daycares, and at boarding facilities in the past, as well as have personally owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life! I currently work full-time at a grooming salon, but I find time while I’m off to care for pets! My schedule is available on my page. I have the utmost respect for both your home and your furry family members. As such, I treat every client, pet, and their property as if they belonged to family.
“Stephanie was absolutely SUPERB and took fantastic care of our fur babies and home while we were out of the country. Highly recommend her to anyone and everyone — will definitely rebook any time we travel.”
“Duke and Lucy had a great night with Tiffany. She arrived exactly when she said she would, kept us posted as to the evening's progress, and was very responsible and responsive. Will definitely using again when we go out of town.”
About: I believe you treat all animals like if they are your pet. I’m known to overly spoil my animals with love, funny voices, and care. I will keep you updated with pictures and videos and your pets are in exceptional care. I have an open schedule to cover their needs and care while I’m on duty and they become my family for the time they are with me. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over 15 years typically small and medium sized dogs. I do have experience with some larger breeds on basic essential needs and care. I went through a battle of IVDD with my French Bulldog who passed which took a role on how I view the time with animals in general. I have an open schedule and extremely accommodating to your needs. I can work around the necessary schedule. I work this full time and if I don’t have any sitting I also run deliveries. I have a safe and trusted environment. I have one dog who gets along with other dogs but he is hyper and wants to play and nap consistently. I have a cat who does her own thing so my house is relaxed. No little kids and just me and my partner which she works from home so there’s always someone at home.
“It was a pleasure to meet Raven, and she was extremely professional and resourceful when dealing with our dog, who has severe anxiety. She went above and beyond to try to make her feel comfortable while we were away. We appreciated her continued communication to let us know how our dog was doing. Thank you, Raven, for all that you did!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life even before I was born. Have had mostly cats, but have a strong love and connection to all animals. I work at a local restaurant in the evening but I can be flexible sometimes. I'm also looking for a way give back to the community and work with animals at the same time. My cats and I are like a pride. They're very social with me and visitors. And when I eat the often eat when we do as well to discourage begging. I have friends with service dogs and animals, so I familiar with different needs for different animals and different species.
“Ragan was great as always. Especially with a last minute trip. I know Siggy boy is in great hands with her. Probably with mentioning the place is always clean when we get back, too. Thank you so much Ragan!”
About: I have owned multiple dogs in my adulthood. I currently own a 4 year old golden who I have personally trained, and a 1.5 year old who I work with every day. I have worked at a dog day care for 5 months where I learned more about dog body language and how to diffuse any fights. I have walked and babysat dogs for friends. I consider all dogs to be my friends, because there is no such things as a bad dog. I work 12 hour night shifts Friday-Sunday. I am completely available Monday-Thursday. Because my weeks are so open then I can spend more time taking care of pups who may need extra walks. I have a friendly golden retriever who is 4 years old. She loves to play! She does great with other dogs (she used to have a brother) but also knows how to cuddle and chill. Hazel is 1.5 years old and still has crazy puppy energy. Neither walk without a treat bag in hand to keep training a daily activity.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and size since I was around 12 years old! Friends and family have relied on and trusted me to walk, feed and play with their pets! I am home full time so I’ll always be ready and available for any and all of your pets needs! Plenty of walks and lots of play and attention I have a fenced in yard and a sweet dog of my own who is super playful and loves to make new friends! He will keep your fur babies company :)
About: Besides taking care of multiple different animals over my life, ive been walking dogs since middle school! Been my side hustle for a while actually, plus just like spending time with dogs Id tend to do if after or before work or if im in school i do it after my classes, mostly just making money on the side so it fits into my schedule pretty nicely I walk my dogs twice a day, and give them a strict eating schedule, also give them time to play and go outside even if its cold, i do wrap them up because they are smaller but its vital for them to get that exercise.
“I had a wonderful experience Heidi. She's reliable, kind, and clearly love what they do. Communication was excellent from start to finish—I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving care. I will definitely be booking again!”

I will follow the instructions you provide for care of your pet very closely and will observe and care for your pet to insure his/her wellbeing.

I have a wide opened smoke free apartment so the pets could run freely and be comfortable. There is plenty of out door space also with a nature trail to walk.
About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.
About: I have extensive experience with a variety of dog breeds, young and mature. I am thrilled to care for the smallest and the largest animals. I have flexible hours and am willing to meet your and your pet's needs. I am also available to support your short or pop-up requests. In your home, I will provide attentive care to ensure your pet or pets are happy, healthy, and secure. I will send videos, and I am available if you want to FaceTime with your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of two dogs for ten+ years! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, especially senior dogs. I’m good at walking and caring for animals in their homes. I work as a substitute teacher and can make my own schedule, so I will have plenty of time to hang with your animals! I am flexible with my schedule and can make last minute drop-ins if needed. I have a home with a fenced in porch, plenty of room for your pup to have some outside time. I can also crate them if needed. I’m flexible on whatever your needs should be!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always had a genuine love for animals. I currently have dogs of my own, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that goes into caring for them. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels and routines, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I work full-time and typically go in around 9 am, which gives me the flexibility to help with pets before work when needed, including morning walks, feeding, or drop in visits. Most my evenings after work I am free and available to spend time with pets, and I generally have good availability on weekends as well. I’m flexible and happy to work with each owners schedule and their pets routine, whether that means an early morning visit or weekend sitting. I have a fully fenced-in back yard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have amazing dogs who are friendly and who love to play and are always excited to have company. I also understand every dog is different, though, so I am happy to follow your pets specific routine and comfort level. If your dog needs personal space, prefers to be separated from other dogs, or is crate trained, I am also completely comfortable crating your dog when needed and making sure they have a safe, comfortable environment throughout their stay.

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 Spotsylvania 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 Spotsylvania 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Spotsylvania 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
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.
