We were very happy with the care Jhanayra provided! She was very reliable, arriving on time every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were on their regular feeding schedule. Jhanayra sent updates, and it was clear our cats were loved. We will be reaching out next time we are away.

Susana was great with my cat. She did drop in visits while I was away and kept great communication, took care of everything, kept me updated and stayed the full 30min. I could tell my cat really enjoyed her company. I highly recommend her.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 3 years, including my own dog as well as dogs for friends and family. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the amount of attention and patience I give every dog I care for. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I always try to make them feel loved, relaxed, and part of the family. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer environment, I’m happy to adjust to their routine and personality. I'm currently working full-time Monday-Friday, so I'm available to care for your fur baby starting at 5pm! I’m also available on weekends and can provide lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care during my free time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their parents are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and needs to help them feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions provided by the owner.

We heavily rely on Sam’s support afforded to Athena, which has ranged from walks to/from dog care and house siting in our place. Sam is a pleasant detail oriented, exceptional communicator that our dog enjoys hanging out.

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I truly love animals and treat every pet like family—with patience, affection, and attention to their unique needs. I’m comfortable with all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine to keep them feeling safe and loved. As a fellow Rover user, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. That’s why I always go the extra mile to communicate clearly, send regular updates, and create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I'm a teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule—perfect for giving your pet the attention they deserve! Right now, my days revolve around caring for my own two dogs and two cats, so adding another furry friend to the mix is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just some quality cuddle time, I have plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs without feeling rushed. Even during the school year, I make pet care a priority with early mornings, afternoons, and weekends always dedicated to my animals. No matter the season, caring for pets is a core part of my daily life. When caring for pets in their own home, I always prioritize following your instructions and routines exactly as you’ve laid them out. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially when their favorite people aren’t around. From feeding and walking schedules to playtime, medication, or bedtime routines, I make sure your pet feels as safe, loved, and comfortable as possible. My goal is to keep things feeling familiar and calm, so your pet can relax and stay happy until you’re back home. You can count on me to treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I give my own.

Daniela was excellent with our two dogs! She was patient and caring, and had a real calming effect on our dogs, especially on one who is generally nervous. Daniela was also punctual, had great communication and responsiveness, and on top of sending us the details of each drop in. We plan to use her services again, and would highly recommend to anyone in need of pet help.

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, from helping in a vet clinic and working at a dog daycare to caring for my own pets over the years. I’m very patient with animals, attentive to their behavior, and I always try to follow each pet’s routine closely because I know that’s what helps them feel calm, safe, and happy while you’re away. I work remotely during the week (8am–5pm), so I’m available for reliable early morning and evening visits on weekdays. On weekends, I’m more flexible and available throughout the day. I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being alone during typical work hours and do best with a consistent routine. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow instructions closely and prioritize clear communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🪴💚

About: I’ve had experience with both cats and dogs, but I'm not opposed on getting to know and care for your other type of (furry or not) family member/pet. I’m very pet-friendly and love to play. If special care is needed for an animal, I have also had experience with pets who need special medications or to be fed a specific way. I clean up any messes left behind by pets inside or outside of the house. I also have experience with taking care of animals who are older in age. I work delicately with all animals to ensure that they feel safe and/or comfortable until their owner returns home. For having kittens of my own, they had my heart first, but I do also have great experience and love for dogs. I’m currently a college student who works part-time so I would be more than happy to take care of your furry friends Monday-Fridays 8 AM to 8 PM! I treat pets with the utmost respect and care. I firmly believe that pets are family and deserve to be treated as such. You can expect me to treat your pet just like I’d treat a family member!

Great sitter! Giselle recently took care of my diabetic cat. She made sure every morning to inject him his insulin, keep his litter clean, and give him fresh water. She is very professional and responsible. She can be counted on to do a great job. Next time I travel, I will definitely be asking Giselle to take care of my Copycat again! Thank you, Giselle!

About: Raising my very own senior lady, a mid-size terrier-mix, for the last decade and counting - experienced with dogs that have separation anxiety and need a little more comfort than the rest I’m currently working full-time but located locally in the gables, so I’ll have plenty of time in the late afternoons and evenings after 6pm for walks and pups! Weekends are usually open for the mornings and afternoons, as well. I can cater to your fur baby’s daily routine, maintaining their preferred feeling schedules and walks, keeping their day structured so they don’t ever feel off and can rest knowing all is well (even with mom and dad away)!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with both training and senior care. I trained my own dog, who is now 12 years old, and I currently care for him as he experiences arthritis. This has taught me how to recognize signs of discomfort, adjust activity levels, and provide daily massages to keep him comfortable. I understand that not every dog needs long walks, and I prioritize each pet’s individual needs, safety, and well-being. I’m currently a senior in college, which gives me a bit more flexibility in my schedule, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m able to plan my days around pets and give them the attention and consistency they need. I live in an off-campus house with a front yard that does not open onto a busy street, which helps provide a safe and calm environment for pets. The house is spacious, allowing pets to move around comfortably and have their own space to relax. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I’m very attentive and focused on making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I take time to build trust, follow routines closely, and make sure pets feel safe and happy in my presence.

About: Hi! I’m Kathlyn, a lifelong dog lover who grew up around show dogs, therapy dogs, and professional dog training. My mom is a dog trainer, so I’ve had experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities from a young age. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making their time away from home fun, safe, and full of love. If you have a puppy, I’m happy to reinforce basic commands during our time together. I also have access to a gated dog park where pups can play and socialize. I understand that dogs are family, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ♥️🐶

About: From close friends to family, I have been entrusted to take care of their cherished dogs and cats (even seniors) through these past several years. I wouldn’t trade it for the world! I currently work full-time, but am available on weekends to provide unwavering support and love to your furry pets! I can also provide late night walks, check-ins, etc if needed during the week once I’m off work :-) I live in one of the safest neighborhoods with ample space in the backyard and around my area to give them the most fun walks possible! I can also crate your pet as I have ample space in my apartment. It’s just me, so rest assured they will be given the best care and belly rubs possible.

Kristel was absolutely wonderful with my dog Pepper! Pepper can be quite stubborn and is usually hesitant around new people, but Kristel’s patience and genuine care completely won her over. From the very beginning, Kristel showered Pepper with love and attention, taking time to let her warm up and always making sure she felt comfortable. I received regular updates and adorable photos, and it was clear that Pepper was relaxed, happy, and truly in the best hands. When I returned home, Pepper was her usual cheerful self, maybe even a bit better behaved! I’m so grateful for Kristel’s dedication and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pup as much as you do! Thank you, Kristel, for taking such amazing care of Pepper!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Virginia Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Virginia Gardens on Rover is $26.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 6,038 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Virginia Gardens. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Virginia Gardens stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 Virginia Gardens 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. 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.

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.

To find sitters in Virginia Gardens with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Virginia Gardens. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
