About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life & currently have two dogs and two cats! 🐾 I have been doing freelance dog walking & pet sitting for approximately 8 years! I also volunteered for a dog rescue called Blessed Paws Animal Rescue for over 3 years. I have fostered 30+ puppies! I am familiar with dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. I really enjoy taking care of and spending time with my clients pets whenever they need. I will always go above and beyond to make sure your fur babies are happy and that you are satisfied! *just moved from Florida to SoBo, VA!* I am a small business owner with a flexible schedule that will fit your needs! I typically have availability for any day of the week. My house has a spacious backyard with lots of grass to run in. My dogs are friendly and well socialized with fosters for a welcome environment for your pup!
About: My lifelong bond with dogs spans breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Your pup becomes family, receiving personalized care from grooming to medication administration, just like my own. As a dedicated stay-at-home mom, I offer round-the-clock availability to pamper your beloved fur babies. From dawn till dusk, they'll receive attentive care and affection, ensuring their every need is met with love and dedication. With two spoiled feline friends of my own, daily brushing is a joy, and I'm experienced in administering oral medication, especially for seniors. Your cats will receive the same loving care and attention they're accustomed to in my home.
“So very happy, pleased and excited with the wonderful job Samantha did while caring for our dog. Samantha communicated daily with updates, made certain that all medications were given as directed, and left our house in excellent shape despite the rain, muddy footprints, and shedding of our lab! My husband and I look forward to having Samantha take care of our dog in the future.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up surrounded by pets and have always considered them part of the family. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly can’t imagine life without them! I’m currently a proud dog mom to Luna, my sweet, energetic, and incredibly smart 5-year-old pup. She’s my little sidekick and goes just about everywhere with me! Through years of caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, behaviors, training, routines, and individual needs. I know every pet is different! Some love adventures, long walks, and endless playtime, while others prefer cuddling on the couch and relaxing. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. My home also has a spacious fenced backyard with three-rail fencing reinforced with hog wire, helping keep even smaller pups safely contained. It’s a great space for supervised outdoor playtime, exploring, and burning off some energy! I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting in yours. Luna accompanies me for house sitting, so I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone gets along! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the exact same way about mine. My goal is to treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to accommodate pet sitting around my work commitments. I’m primarily available every other weekend for boarding and house sitting, but I’m also happy to accommodate weekday stays with advance notice so I can plan my schedule accordingly. Whether your pet loves outdoor playtime, walks, or cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to work around their usual feeding, exercise, and bedtime routines to help them feel comfortable and right at home. Feel free to reach out with your dates! I’m always happy to discuss availability and see what we can work out. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! My home has a spacious fenced backyard with three-rail fencing reinforced with hog wire to help keep dogs safely contained. There’s plenty of room for supervised playtime, exploring, and burning off energy! I share my home with Luna, my friendly, playful 23-pound pup who loves making new friends! I always recommend a meet-and-greet before boarding to make sure everyone is comfortable together. For house sitting, Luna will accompany me, so it’s important that your pets are comfortable with another dog. I’ll respect your home, follow your pet’s normal routines, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving hands!
“Gabe is a nice man with a great heart for your pet(s). He communicates well and delivers on his promises. I feel I can trust him again to take care of my fur family of five.”
About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!

FAQs for House Sitting - Turbeville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 74 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Turbeville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Turbeville 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 Turbeville 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.
Tip: 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 Turbeville 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.

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.
