“I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of my cat Scrub while I was away this past weekend. As soon as I met. Krista, I felt that we had found someone who would care for Scrub just as I would and with the need for her new medications it was really comforting to realize that there would be someone there to take care of Scrub with the same care that I would. I would recommend Krista to anyone without hesitation and look forward to working with her again. Thank you so much! Krista, you really made my weekend much less stressful and I thank you for that. Peace Jeff and Scrub”

About: I have had pets most of my life since I was a small child. I have a deep bond with animals and love getting to know their individual personalities and having a great time playing together. I am currently working part time on my own schedule so I have a great deal flexibility to come play with your pets and provide them with my undivided attention! I provide care specifically based on each individual client’s requests and unique needs. Please let me know your preferences, needs and concerns. Thank you!

About: Currently being a stay at home mother, my hours are very flexible! Growing up with cats and dogs, my kiddos and I are currently lacking the fun presence of furry friends! Although my apartment is not the biggest, allowing only one dog at a time allows all of my attention to be focused. If pets are to stay overnight you can expect daily walks, trips to dog parks and most likely a bath if we get too ambitious. I am an adventurous person that believes dogs have individual personalities and unique characteristics that should be embraced and loved. Allowing pets to cuddle up on the couch MAY be negotiated because I am a sucker for puppy eyes. I am currently a stay at home with my three kiddos. I home school, so including a dog in the mix is so much fun for us! We often go on walks and trips to the park. I have a fenced yard, doggie door for easy outside access and loving, gentle kids to keep your animals company with lots of love and play.

“I’ve used Julie a few times now and I can say with confidence that she is taking great care of my big crazy pup! I get the best photos that show me how much fun he is having when she visits him. I don’t trust too many people to have the skills needed to take care of our big guy, but Julie fits the bill! Thanks Julie for sending such fun pupdates!”

About: I’ve been walking my own dogs and taking care of them of over 10 years and I’ve been doing these types of apps for around a year I’m super flexible and free pretty much anytime—my schedule’s wide open right now, so I can hop on walks, drop-ins, boarding, or playtime whenever your pup needs it! Hey, I’ve got a big fenced yard—tons of space for safe play and running around. My one friendly dog loves company, and I can crate if needed.

About: I absolutely love animals! Dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it! I grew up with cats my entire life and got my first puppy of my own during quarantine (a yellow lab). I have additional experience caring for all kinds of dogs, dog sitting, dog walking, etc. (I nannied for a family with a labradoodle for 3 years.) I currently work in an emergency department. My schedule is a 2 week schedule that repeats, so I’m available every other weekend, every other Mon/Tues and every other Thurs/Fri. I’m hoping to find a few clients who are flexible as well! Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide home services at my own home as my boyfriend and I have 3 kitties and 1 dog of our own (unless your doggo is comfortable around cats).

About: Hi! I am in between doggo's right now:). I have lots of extra love to spend on your pet while you are away:). I am great with walks, playing, pet hugs and medication ( if needed ). My yard is HUGE and I have an in/out dog door. I are totally comfortable doing extra special meals also. . I am happy to crate your pup if that is your routine for daytime or nighttime, but if not- your pup will be just hanging out with me and likely going on a hike during the day. I have 2 acres, completely fenced. I have a dog door, so your pup can go in and out as needed, but I can also close that off if needed. I only take (at max) 2 dogs at a time, so your dog will get a ton of attention.

About: Hey Hey! I am Rocky, you fur childs favorite nanny! I have a background in veterinary medicince, with five years of nursing experience. Although I stepped away from the medical field, I continued to care for beloved furry companions. Previously, I operated my own pet sitting business in Sacramento, called Pawnda Care, but have taken a hiatus while I settle to this new area. In Sacramento, I had long-standing clients, averaging over five years. Now, I'm eager to build a wonderful clientele and create a family of furry nieces and nephews! I currently work as a CR at a VET ER, craft and sell my work at local craft markets. Spending my days binge watching shows with my fur babies and crafts. Pet Care Availability I can accommodate pet care on my days off, which are Wednesday through Saturday. I work three 10-hour shifts each week, so I can offer brief drop-in visits on those days, but they will be late in the evening. Ideally, the four days I can cover are the ones mentioned. I take great pride in ensuring your pets are both safe and cherished while you're away. I make certain that your home remains secure, inform you of any behavioral or health changes, and provide them with clean water and fresh food, and administer medications. I will bring the mail in, water indoor and outdoor plants, and am happy to discuss any other tasks you may require.

About: Hi, I’m Bella! I was born and raised in Sonoma County and live on a ranch with large dogs, horses, and sheep. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11, from family pets to farm animals, and I have hands-on experience with everything from pigs and sheep to horses and energetic pups. When I’m not working, I love traveling, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with my Jack Russell, Finn. I’d love the chance to help care for your animal with the same love and attention I give to my own. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule around each client’s needs. I plan my days to make sure pets get consistent walks, playtime, and attention, and I treat their care as a priority, not an afterthought. Whether it’s stopping by for visits, staying overnight, or spending extra time for companionship, I build my week around providing dependable care and keeping pets happy and comfortable. When staying in your home, I care for your pets in their own comfortable and familiar space. I follow your routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs, while keeping your home tidy and secure. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free, and I provide regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.

About: Hi there! My name is Abby, and I’m a lifelong animal owner & lover- excited to care for your furry friends. I have a special connection with animals, which started early in life and continues with my beloved cat, Winston, who keeps my days full of joy. In addition to my love for animals, I have hands-on experience with grooming and bathing pets. I know how important it is for animals to feel clean and comfortable, and I’m confident in handling even the most hesitant pets with patience and care. As a dedicated and reliable pet caretaker, I understand that every pet is unique. Whether it’s playtime, walks, grooming, or cuddles, I adapt to their specific needs to ensure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I also pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, medications, and routines to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be in safe, loving hands with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! Even with a full-time 9-to-5 job, I make it a priority to provide attentive and flexible care for your pets. I can stop by in the mornings before work for feeding, walks, or check-ins to ensure your pet starts their day off right. During my lunch break, I can swing by to give them some extra attention, a potty break, or a quick cuddle session. In the evenings, I’ll spend quality time with them to make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and ready for a restful night. Your pet’s comfort and care are my top priorities, and I’ll always communicate updates to keep you in the loop. Let me know how I can work around your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I adhere to rules set by owners while at their homes and am respectful of their house and animal(s). I prioritize understanding their pets unique needs and routines to provide personalized, loving care. Here’s what I offer: • Walks: I’ll ensure your dog gets the right amount of exercise based on their energy level, whether it’s a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll to sniff around. • Grooming: Light grooming like brushing, wiping paws, or cleaning up after them to keep them feeling fresh and comfortable. I can also provide full baths to keep your pet looking and feeling clean. • Drop-ins: Flexible visits tailored to your pet’s schedule, including feeding, water refills, litter box cleaning, or potty breaks. • Cuddles and Comfort: I adjust my approach based on your pet’s personality—whether they’re independent or love being showered with attention. • Playtime: Engaging activities to keep your pet mentally and physically stimulated. I’ll bring toys or use their favorites to ensure they’re entertained. • Photo and Text Updates: I’ll send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how happy and well-cared-for your pet is. • Special Needs: For pets with unique requirements, like medications, special diets, or anxiety, I’ll follow your instructions carefully to provide them with the best care possible. • Emergency Preparedness: I’ll ensure your pet’s safety and well-being, keeping emergency contacts and their vet information on hand if needed. Every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours happiest to provide attentive and compassionate care. Let me know what else I can do to make them feel at home while you’re away!

Lexi was amazing! We hired her last minute to do drop-ins for our dog and cats while we were away for 3 days and hired her to do a couple of walks throughout the stay. She updated me with pictures so I knew when the pets were fed and my dog was brought in for the night. My dog looked so happy on his walks too. Awesome sitter.

Emmalene genuinely saved my cat’s life. There was a fire in our home while we were out of town and thankfully she arrived for a drop-in visit before it was too late. She called the fire department and made sure Kitty got out safe. She took Kitty home with her and took care of her like she was her own cat until I could get back the next day. I cannot speak highly enough of Emmalene and her above and beyond care; even after such a traumatic experience, I could tell Kitty felt so comfortable and safe staying with her. I cannot thank her enough for saving my cat’s life.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Stony Point

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,775 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stony Point. 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.

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 Stony Point. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
