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.

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!
“Meredith was great! She met them a couple of times before we left, which really helped our older dog with anxiety. She connected so well with the pups. She kept us informed with pictures and videos, so we knew our pups were in good hands. She treated our home with care, too, which was appreciated. We would happily book with Meredith again!”

“Mardi did an incredible job taking care of our cats and home while we were away for a week! She followed our instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and left our house in even better condition than when she arrived. I’m usually a little anxious about leaving the cats when we travel, but I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing everything was safe in her hands. I will absolutely book her again the next time we need a cat sitter!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 11 years old and I absolutely love meeting new people! My friends and family always refers me as the “crazy cat lady” because I have 3 cats of my own! Currently have flexible and open availability for your pet sitting needs! Send me a message and I can help! Please let me know at least 2 days ahead of time if you need to make any last minute changes! I make sure if pets need to be leashed that it happens before going outside or leaving the house! I also always clean up after each animal to ensure cleanliness in the neighborhood!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years and absolutely love getting to know your pets and you! I’ve cared for dogs, birds, rabbits and cats of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and care. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and supporting pets with anxiety or special routines. I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is for you to feel at ease and your pet to feel happy and at home. I currently am in graduate school at Duke, so my schedule is flexible! That means I have plenty of time each day to play, walk, and care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I make sure every pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live on 13 acres of beautiful land with backyard access to trails, which gives plenty of space for walks and outdoor playtime. While the area isn’t fenced, I always keep pets safe and supervised during any time outside. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your furry friends will have my full attention and plenty of company while they’re here. I also know many pets feel more comfortable staying in their own familiar environment, so I’m always happy to care for them in your home. I primarily offer in-home sitting and make sure to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: Extensive experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—especially those needing extra care like insulin or medication—makes us confident and capable sitters. High-energy pets are no problem; staying active is a big part of our lifestyle. Herding breeds are a particular favorite, and a month spent volunteering at a dog rescue in Mexico deepened our connection with special needs animals. Comfort around a wide range of pets—including cats, birds, reptiles, and small animals—means your entire crew is in good hands. Whether it’s long walks, quiet companionship, or cozy couch time, we adapt easily to what each animal needs. Respecting your home and routines is a top priority. We've cared for homes during multi-week stays and are always mindful that it's your space. Happy to follow your house rules, keep things clean, and tend to your plants with care—because coming home to a tidy, well-loved space makes all the difference. We are pet parents and please know that our dog Quinn is part of the package. Quinn is a senior australian shepherd who has great manners, is toilet trained and gets along with dogs of all ages and sizes. Our day revolves around our animals. We will always start with a cuddle and We’re home most of the time since we work remotely, which means your dog sets the pace for the day. Whether it’s a big outing to the dog park or a lazy afternoon full of cuddles, we’re happy to match their vibe. We make sure there are plenty of potty and play breaks—and we always end the day with as many snuggles as we can get. No matter where we are, one thing remains constant: our love for animals. From big, playful dogs to the quiet charm of a cat curled up on the couch, we find joy in every furry (or feathered!) friend we meet. Whether it’s spending an afternoon exploring nature or simply snuggling up after a long day, our ideal companion is always an animal friend. We’re excited to combine our love of travel, the outdoors, and animals to help take care of your pets while you’re away. Trust us to provide your animals with the attention and care they deserve while you enjoy your time away!
“Nick is always so great with the animals and a huge help! He's very friendly, goes above and beyond, and the animals enjoy spending time with him. If you're looking for a trustworthy and flexible petsitter - Nick is your guy!”

“I can't recommend Charisma highly enough for her exceptional care of my puppy! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Charisma took him to the dog park, where he had an absolute blast playing with her puppy for the day. By the time I picked him up, he had expended all his energy, which is exactly what I needed! Not only was he well-exercised, but he was also well-fed and clearly taken care of with the utmost attention and love. Charisma's communication throughout the day was fantastic; she kept me updated with adorable pictures and notes on how he was doing. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and fun caretaker for your pet, Charisma is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone who wants the best for their furry friend. She truly goes above and beyond!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background working in a veterinary clinic and the trust I’ve built with both clients and their pets. I’ve dog sat for many clients from the clinic, so I’m already familiar with their pets’ personalities, medical needs, and routines. That makes both the pets and owners feel more comfortable because they know their dog is with someone they already trust. Clients like me because I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced. I’m used to handling all kinds of situations, whether it’s giving medications, caring for senior dogs, or keeping up with energetic puppies. I pay close attention to details and always follow the pet’s routine to keep them as stress-free as possible. On top of that, I communicate well with owners and keep them updated, so they always feel reassured while they’re away. I treat every dog like my own, which is something clients really value.I also have trained a lot of my clients pets. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already work in a veterinary setting and am used to caring for animals throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m watching, making sure they get consistent walks, feeding times, playtime, and any needed care. I’m very organized and reliable, so I make time in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the day for check-ins or longer stays depending on what each pet needs. Since I’m used to managing multiple animals at once, it feels like a natural part of my routine, not something extra. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions they leave. I also keep the environment calm and familiar, since that helps pets feel safe while their owner is away. Because of my veterinary experience, I’m comfortable giving medications, monitoring behavior, and noticing if anything seems off. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra exercise for energetic dogs or gentle care for senior pets. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and quiet space where they can relax. I make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and care just like they would at home. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they always know how their pet is doing.
“Heidi was five minutes early for both the meet and greet and the actual house sitting booking. Finn had a great time with her, and I was very happy with how she cared for him. I received lots of updates and photos. We will not hesitate to book her again!”

About: I’ve always grown up around animals in a big, loving family that treats pets like family members, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’m new to Rover, I do have hands-on experience caring for my own pets as well as helping family friends with dog sitting, check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, kind, dependable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves energetic walks, belly rubs, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to match their needs and make sure they’re well cared for. I’m currently a college student and I’m the Army Reserves taking one summer class and working part-time, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule this summer. I have plenty of free time for dog sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and giving pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m especially available for families who need reliable help during vacations, work hours, or busy summer schedules. Because of my flexibility, I can often accommodate different routines and make pet care a genuine priority. Your pet’s comfort and safety are extremely important to me. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your furry family member, so I always aim to provide dependable, loving, and attentive care. In your home, I will respect your space, carefully follow all instructions, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and behavior to make sure pets feel secure and happy. I believe in gentle care, patience, and creating a positive experience so both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.

“Super responsive, matched my pups energy and made him comfy and somehow left my home looking more warm and welcoming than when we left. She was an incredible sitter, 100% would recommend for any pet owner. You don’t have to be worried if she is with them and you get amazing videos and pics of your fur baby :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Virgilina on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 142 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Virgilina. 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 Virgilina 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 Virgilina 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Virgilina. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
