“As always, Kim provided timely and competent service. She adds kindness and caring, which Luna, Rosa and I appreciate. I never have to worry about my cats when Kim is caring for them !”
About: I have previous experience working as a field manager for a professional pet care company where I have taken care of dozens of dogs/cats of all ages with many different routines/needs, I have my Pet First Aid and CPCR certification, and I currently have two young German Shepherd pups of my own! I have always been very passionate about animals and know how important it is to feel that your pets are in good hands when you are away. I currently work an early morning part-time job, which leaves me the rest of the day to play with your pups! I am available during the week and on most weekends for boarding and walking. I live near many different walking trails to keep your dogs entertained. I have a fenced in yard and two young German Shepherd dogs who LOVE playing with other dogs. I have crates and gates if needed. I do my best to keep animals close to their usual daily routines so they are as comfortable as possible while they are away from their owners.
“Shannon is absolutely incredible, reliable, and kind. She has taken great care of our pup and was so sweet when we found out we had to lay her to rest. She has been hands down one of the best Rover experiences that we have had!”
“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”
About: I’m a cat mom to Romeo and Cleo, and I love them like they’re my children. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in safe, caring hands while you’re away. Finding someone you can trust makes all the difference, and I want to give other pet owners that same peace of mind. I’m reliable, attentive, and organized, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pets seriously. I cared for Oreo, my family’s rescue border collie, throughout my entire childhood and have dogsat for neighbors, friends, and family members for as long as I can remember. Whether your pet loves company and playtime or needs a little space to feel comfortable, I’ll follow their lead and be patient as they get to know me. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know how your pets are doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away and trust they’re being cared for by someone who understands how much they mean to you. 🩷🐾 I work from home, which gives me flexibility to fit cat care into my daily routine. Caring for Romeo and Cleo is already part of my everyday life, and I can plan visits around my work schedule to give your cats the time and attention they deserve. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect their space, and make sure your home is secure before leaving. I’ll send photos and updates and care for your pets with the same attention I’d want for Romeo and Cleo.
“Ruby loves Allison! We appreciate her prompt communication and attention to detail. She brings in my packages, searches for missing treasure Ruby has buried in the yard. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello there! I’m Sam. I’ve loved animals since I was 9 years old and have been a pet sitter on Rover for over 4 years now. As you can see from all my reviews, I enjoy being part of this community! Currently, I have two fur babies of my own: Tango, a Norwegian Elkhound, and Scout, a Pitbull/Yorkie mix. In 2024, my beloved Timmy, a dachshund senior dog passed away at 15 years old, so I also have personal experience caring for older dogs who need a little extra love and specialized attention. I know firsthand how important and how difficult it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pets while you're away. I can assure you that your fur baby will be in safe hands with me. A Little Perk: I just got a nice camera and am looking to practice my photography! I am offering free digital pictures with any house-sitting or drop-in booking. I currently work a remote 9-to-5 job with plenty of flexibility, meaning I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet's specific routine and needs throughout the day. I do not offer services in my home since I live in an apartment with my 2 dogs. I have a reliable means of transportation, and I can make any special accomodations for your pets if necessary.
“Jynette helped us out last minute this week by walking our dog, Kirby. It didn’t take long for him to warm up to her! She was timely and so friendly during our meet and great. Highly recommend.”
“Tiffani is very knowledgeable about dogs and very professional and friendly! You can tell she cares about dogs and their welfare. We recommend Tiffani for your fur babies and look forward to having her take care of our Maverick again!”
“Sarah did a great job! She sent me pictures to reassure me the dogs were doing well. She even sent me a photo of one dog's leg to show me a developing sore and how she was treating it. My dogs were in good hands. I'd recommend Sarah highly.”

About: Hey y’all! I have been independently caring for animals since I was 12. I have previously worked in a groomer shop as a bather and nail trimmer. I also have history of assisting with training dogs. Fortunately, my dad is a vet and I have gained a lot of knowledge through him. I am appropriately trained to administer medications to any fur babies that may need it! I have history working with animals of all ages. I can assure you that your furry friends will be in the best hands! I am currently looking for full time work and in the mean time available for every day activities with your furry friends! I am currently available whenever you need! I am willing and able to accommodate to yours and your pets needs to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable while away from each other. I unfortunately cannot bring your pet into my home due to my own animals.
“Super warm, met "the kids" ahead of time and made sure she had a thorough understanding of their needs and temperaments. Even played with them, which they seemed to love. I'm very appreciative and would book with Tera again”
About: I’ve been watching neighborhood and family pets since I was 13, both cats and dogs, elderly and young. I know when to give attention or whether to give them space. Hey! You can also call me Jaxon (he/him.) I’m auditioning for local theatres in Richmond, so my schedule is rather flexible. Weekends and weekdays are currently open, with room for rehearsals and show dates. I’d cater to whatever the pet needs. Some animals like to explore, so I’d supervise as they do so. Others are more reclusive, so I’d keep watch from a respectful distance.
“Janini was fantastic!! She did a daily visit/walk. She showed up when she said she would and was in great communication for the 5 days she took care of my dog. I would highly recommend her!!”
About: I have been around animals forever. My neighbors have also been trust me to be able to take care of their pets when they go on vacation. I also have 3 cats of my own that I love and adore. I just recently found a kitten and bottle fed her till she was ready to take on solid foods. I would love to be able to give your pets the care they deserve! I have three cats of my own so I wake up early before work to feed them. Then also on my breaks I go visit them because I live close enough to work. I love to be able to spend as much time and play with them as much as possible. I would love to show the same love and care that I show my own. I always make sure not to spook any animals, even if I’ve known them forever. I never want my sudden movements to scare them in anyway and I want them to be able to trust me.
About: I grew up around dogs, caring for our family pets. As an adult, my own dogs are the highlight of my life. I spend my time trying to give dogs even a fraction of the love and devotion they give to us! I'm experienced with caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs from all walks of life. I'm happy to adapt to any needs, including training reinforcement, pacing, interacting or not interacting with other dogs/people etc. I also have experience with training puppies and caring for senior dogs(as I have one of my own). I work a full time corporate job with some flexibility on a case by case basis. Most of my availability is in the evenings and weekends, but I'm more than happy to discuss special requests! I'm happy to walk your dog through a familiar area in the neighborhood or even to a nearby dog park if desired. Happy to accommodate what makes you and your fur baby happy!
“Jenna was a life saver. We have two sweet 14 year old Australian shepherds who are a little wobbly and don’t see as well as they used to. I was afraid to leave them but Jenna was amazing!! Got tons of pics and updates. It was such a relief. Jenna is a true dog lover and really took care of our guys like they were her own. She spent tons of time with them. I’ll definitely use her again and pass her info along to friends.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,458 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Subletts. 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 Subletts. 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.
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.
