About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to details, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection I would give my own. I’m currently a full-time college student and am home for break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, follow all care instructions carefully, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind, and I’ll always treat both your home and your pets with the same care and respect as I would my own

About: I've always had a special love for animals! Throughout high school, I worked at a dog grooming salon, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I've also been the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone they trust to care for their pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and attention you would. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I'm responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! 🐾💕 I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate to caring for your furry family members!

I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, and I'm always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! 🐾 I've always said that in another life, I would've gone to veterinary school because my love for animals runs so deep! My own dog, Hazel, is truly my baby, and I treat her like family. Our days are filled with playtime, training sessions with treats, outdoor exercise, walks to explore new scents, car rides, cuddles, and even the occasional doggy ice cream date! I also love making little dog-themed crafts and finding creative ways to keep her happy and engaged. I believe every pet deserves that same level of love, patience, and attention. When caring for your furry family member, I'll always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual routine. I'll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure your pet receives plenty of affection, enrichment, and exercise suited to their needs.

“Nancy was great! It gave me peace of mind that she was able to drop in and check on my pup Leo while my boyfriend is at work and I was out of the country for work this week. She provided a daily description of his activities, she played fetch with him outside and most importantly was able to relieve him in the middle of the day (since he’s used to going potty every 4-5 hours.) It’s a bonus that she takes amazing pictures of Leo. Nancy is the nicest and most trustworthy pet sitter I’ve ever met (:”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Virginia Gardens
Nancy was great! Super nice and accommodating. She was so sweet to both my cat and dog fur babies. Followed all of our instructions and even made it work when I forgot to leave out one of their bowls. She was even patient with my cat who takes a little time to warm up to people. Would definitely book again!
Priscilla accommodated a last-minute request, which we were incredibly appreciative of. Our Casper was so well taken care of she was extremely punctual, attentive to his needs, and so loving and patient with him. She spent quality time with him, and you could truly tell he enjoyed her company. We greatly appreciated the care she provided, as well as how respectful she was of our home. She was very responsive throughout the entire experience and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She was amazing, and we highly recommend her! We are thankful we found her!
Alia was very communicative and loving towards our older dog with special needs. She made sure to make him comfortable, have fun outside and even kept him company with her own pet. We were so grateful to know and see he was in great hands. She would send a daily message of their time together along with pictures/videos. I highly recommend booking Alia for your pet sitting needs.
Courtney has been the best to work with. She is extremely helpful and is always helping us out with Bear. I also love how attentive she is with my dog. I am always receiving many updates and messages from her! Bear is always so happy after visiting with Courtney, and is always excited to see her. Highly recommend her watching anyone’s animal!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Virginia Gardens is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,997 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Virginia Gardens. 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.
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 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.
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.

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 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.
