“Heidi was wonderful. She came by to feed my dog, spent quality time with him, and made sure he was well cared for. She was reliable, sent great updates, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’m especially grateful that she was able to step in at the last minute over a holiday. I’d absolutely recommend Heidi and would gladly book her again.”
“This was the longest I’ve ever left my cat, Jack, and I honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. Jack is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so I was very anxious about leaving him, but Nicholas was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with him from the start. Within just a few days, Jack completely warmed up to him, which honestly says everything. I received beautiful daily pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring seeing how comfortable, happy, and loved Jack was while I was away. Because of that, I was truly able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was in such great hands. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention Jack received. I would absolutely recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Nicole took such good care of my babies while we were on vacation. I appreciated the communication and updates. Definitely made me feel at ease knowing my fur babies were in good hands with her. We will definitely be using Nicole in the future.”
“Destiny was amazing! She was very caring and attentive to our little pup. She checked in with us and took excellent care of him. I will for sure be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. There’s truly no animal I don’t love. My schedule is really flexible throughout the week, and I’m more than happy to work around other people’s availability as best as I can. I truly enjoy making things as convenient as possible so that we can connect without any stress! Upon first meeting I try to the understand the pets emotionally and what their needs may be. Having four animals myself I have learned how each animal can have varying needs and expectations, and how to best work with the pet. Ultimately, I love animals more than anything and would love to be able to help whenever or wherever needed!
“Nicole is a gem. She said Chewee was a little nervous at first, but warmed up to her. She even sent a video to show her interacting with Chewee. I greatly appreciate her patience with our precious girl. We will have her over again tomorrow!”
“This was our first time using a sitter and it was a wonderful experience. She was well prepared and noted all of our concerns. Ashley kept us updated and sent lots of pics. We came home to a happy dog which is exactly what we wanted.”
“Marcus was great with our Maizey - he took great care of her while we were away. We could tell immediately that she took a liking to him and we felt good about leaving her in his care. He’s very polite and was quick to respond when we reached out. We will definitely book him again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs and cats with special needs. My calm and patient approach helps ease anxiety in pets, and I’m skilled at administering medication and following specific care routines. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and ability to quickly build trust with animals, making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Plus, I always bring a fun and positive energy to every pet I care for! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. I prioritize pets' needs, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I can easily adapt to meet each pet's unique schedule. When caring for your pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and your trust. Here’s how: Safety: I ensure your home is pet-proofed and secure, with a first-aid kit and emergency vet information ready. Trust: I follow your pet’s routine, respect their space, and keep you updated on their well-being. Comfort: I maintain a clean environment, provide cozy bedding and fresh water, and keep your pet engaged with toys and playtime. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life ranging from 5lbs to 50+lbs. Dogs have always been a significant part of my life, and I love caring for dogs for friends and family. I’m available weekends for boarding. I am also available most weekdays after work. I will only take your dogs if I’m 100% sure I will be available and with them for their specific needs. I have a loving dog to play with your dog, or I can keep them separated if you like. I let your dog roam my house always, unless you prefer them to be crated with a crate provided. They are also welcome to sleep wherever they want whether that be with me in bed or on the floor/couch - whatever makes them comfortable.
About: Pet care plays a significant role in my life as I am working as a veterinary assistant and am actively pursuing an Associate degree in Animal Care and Management. My job allows me to directly impact the well-being of animals, while my studies deepen my knowledge and skills in providing top-notch care. my passion for animal welfare shines through as I balance work and education, creating a fulfilling and purposeful routine. By dedicating myself to pet care both professionally and academically, I am not only enriching my own life but also positively impacting the lives of the furry friends I encounter. On my days off from working and school I would love to offer my services to pets and their owners. Knowing they’re with someone experienced in pet care is super important. Since my pets are mostly farm animals they Free range their pastures. Although I do have a dog and his name is max. Max has a huge yard to run around in so im never too worried about him having to go on a walk he just runs around in our fenced in yard. max gets his daily exercise in as he is a small breed dog.
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Currently I have a pug, Pixie. I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, turtles and cats before. Currently I work part time and have lots of extra time for walks. I am very flexible with changes if you need to add more visitis. I offer visits to your home, 30 minute and 60 minute walks, and transportation services. I treat you fur baby as my own and give them lots of attention.
About: I have worked with animals since I could walk. My mother owned a doggy daycare/boarding facility for the majority of my life and I have worked there since the beginning. I have worked hands-on with all sorts of pets and am prepared and accustomed to aiding other people's animals while they're away from their humans. I am currently working Monday - Thursday but am available all day Friday and the weekends! If your animal only needs a morning and evening check in during the week however, then that works for me! I care for each animal as if they are my own, giving them all the love, support, and care that my own animals get. If there are any specific needs or requests, then I am more than willing to implement them into my care as well.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Virgilina stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Virgilina 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
