“We had a wonderful experience with Lily as our dog sitter! She was punctual, attentive, and took excellent care of our dog. She was also very respectful of our home, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciated her reliability and care and will definitely be booking with Lily again. Highly recommend!”

About: My kids (13-19) and I can offer a safe, happy home, companionship and plenty of play time to your furry friend(s) while you're away! Being semi-retired allows me to dedicate more time to caring for pets. I frequently assist friends and family with pet care when they travel. My life basically revolves around my 3 teenagers, volunteering and bike riding when possible. Your pet will always have company in our home, with plenty of walks and playtime. My children, especially my daughters, love and enjoy their companionship.
“Ximena is wonderful! She gave us plenty of support and advice as we transitioned to becoming dog owners in December 2025! Our dog Daisy loved Ximena from the very first time she met her! Ximena is very intuitive with a dog or pet’s needs. She always used positive reinforcement to guide Daisy in commands. She is always patient, gentle and kind with animals. She even gave Daisy a gift when she had moved farther away. Honestly we were so devastated that Ximena would not be able to walk Daisy anymore. We have had other dog walkers but no one as consistent and sweet as Ximena. She always sends lots of photos and detailed messages about the walks. We wish she could still be walking Daisy! We highly recommend Ximena if you need care for your pet!”

“Erin did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Mia! Erin is very sweet and Mia liked her a lot (which says something!) Would definitely recommend Erin for anyone needing pet sitting.”

About: I have plenty of experience working with senior dogs and reactive dogs, and I’m comfortable with drop-ins for feedings & playtime. There’s no greater joy in life than being able to connect with someone’s furry, absolutely adorable soulmate! As a cat owner and long time dog walker, I always make sure to prioritize your pet’s health and comfort with lots of patience, love, and pets / treats ♥️ On weekdays, I do work typical business hours, (9-5ish), but I am available in the early mornings before work as well as in the evenings. On the weekends, I am more available. If someone was in my home, I would want to make sure they prioritize my pet’s safety and my home’s integrity. When I am looking after your pet, I’m also making sure I am respecting your space while making sure your pet feels comfortable with me in theirs.
“Liberty was fantastic looking after our pup, Luke! She provided detailed updates and lots of pictures at every check-in. We were really reassured leaving our pup in such good hands. Thanks, Liberty!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters. I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, spanning from a bully mix, to an Alaskan malamute, to black labs, and Chihuahuas too! Getting to know each animal individually, and getting to know their quirks and personalities is the best part! I currently work eight hours a day seven days a week. I can be there to pet sit in the evenings or let dogs out on potty breaks in the early morning or sometime past 5:30 PM. I can spend up to three hours with your pup for drop ins, and of course I would give all of my attention for the 8+ hours I would be there to pet sit. I follow any and all instructions given to me by pet owners. I’ve spent a long time getting to know, body language, and social cues from dogs. I will never push their boundaries.
“Margaret is such a blessing! She came to us when I was in a time of transition and need and she has helped put my mind at ease. She is always on time, goes above and beyond and although we’ve only known her a short time, I feel like she is family. She has helped my transition to a single mom be so much easier and we are so grateful for her. If you need someone to care for your animals, Margaret is the one you want!”


About: My name is Laryssa and I am new on the sitter side of Rover. I am extremely reliable, caring and would treat your pets like my own while you are away! From experience, I know how hard it can be to leave your pets and will provide updates so you can ensure your fur babies are in good hands! A little about me I am a longtime dog owner and have had my Norwegian Elkhound mix for 10 years. She is now almost 12, I have experienced the puppy years, the energetic years, and all the little changes that come with caring for a dog as they get older. I also have experience with dogs from other family and friends that I would care for while they were away. I also currently have two tabby cats and I grew up with cats my whole life so I would be comfortable with both cats and dogs. I currently work from home full time so my schedule is flexible. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine and I will ensure to follow what is asked of me. I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits around the Leesburg area. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, food and water, a potty break, or simply someone to keep them company, I will make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I can't wait to meet your pets and become someone you can count on! I currently work from home so I have a flexible schedule and would be willing to work around your needs! I have animals myself so I am used to breaking up my work day. Unfortunately I am unable to board animals with my dog since she gets jealous of me giving attention to someone outside of her. But I am available for drop ins and dog walks! Hoping to board in the future.

About: Hi there- I’m Jenn! I have walked and sat for many different types of animals in my lifetime and I’m a huge pet lover! I’ve grown up with many different dogs and cats of various sizes. Friends would describe me as kind, trustworthy and energetic! You will be assured that your furry friend is in safe hands with me; whether it’s for a walk or dog sitting. I am very caring and patient and will ensure your loved one is in great hands at all times. I wfh and do software sales full time.

About: I have spent majority of my life caring for a wide range of animals from dogs and cats to ducks, rodents, and reptiles. I have one beagle who loves playing with others and we would love some company for our walks and adventures. I am acclimated to cats and dogs of all ages, I am used to giving medications (including allergy injections) and pets with food sensitivities. If you have a fur baby that needs some exercise or company, my beagle and I would love to meet them for either a casual stroll through a neighborhood, a trail walk through the woods, or even for short visits to dog parks followed by soapy baths. Let me know what your pet needs are and I am happy to accommodate. On weekdays, I am available 3-7:30 most afternoons. If I am going to your home and your home happens to be near my work place, I may also occasionally be able to pop in for a short visit 9:45-10:30. At my home: Your dog has options. I have a puppy proofed kitchen that has access to a dog door with a fenced in yard. This space is separated from the rest of my home via a doggy gate and is a wonderful space where I leave my pup to play during the day while I am at work. This space has continual access to water, dog beds, toys, and the fenced in yard. Additionally, if there is a fur friend that is in need of a more private secluded space, I also have 2 medium dog crates with soft blankets and chewies. The crates will limit your pups interactions and protect them while I am away from the household for work. When I am home, the dogs will be with me throughout my entire house, they will be brought on walks, fun outdoor adventures, played with, fed, pet, they can sleep in the bed or on the floors, and they can be bathed if necessary. We can even take car rides to go out on fun hikes if you are interested in your dog having access to opportunities like that (they are our favorite.) They will continually have a beagle playmate happy to have companionship. Cats will have a secluded room to stay in, as they are often more sensitive to new spaces, and they will get plenty of snuggles and affection each day in their own private room. At your home: I will arrive in the afternoons with my beagle to play with your pups and to go on walking adventures. I can follow whatever particular protocols you have in place for your dogs, their food/med routines, etc. We will play together and spend time outside on adventures. I can take your pup with me in my car to go on hikes or we can keep the visit completely local. For cats, my dog will not come with me and I will enter the home to address whatever needs your cat may have, whether it be cleaning litter boxes or giving cans of wet food.

“Shena is amazing! She is always on time, GREAT with our cats, and always takes the time to play with them and send us pictures and videos. We consistently rehire her because she is trustworthy!”


About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and I honestly cannot imagine a home without paws in it. Whether you have a high-energy pup who needs to burn off some steam or a cozy kitty who prefers cuddles and quiet companionship, I’ve got you covered! Currently, my husband and I share our home with two incredibly energetic and lovable Golden Retrievers, Brady and Gimli. My husband jokes that he’s third in line for my affection. Honestly, some days he might be right! Our home is a place of constant joy, play, and comfort, and we would absolutely love to welcome your furry family member into our circle.

“I had been searching for a pet sitter for over a month and found Helen, met her briefly and trusted her immediately. She is a lovely human and was able to assist in a hectic travel time between both work and personal. Hoping to enlist her assistance again soon”


“Colleen did an excellent job dropping in on our dog while we were away for the weekend. The text updates on how our dog was doing and what she did during the visits was much appreciated! Colleen is a true dog lover!”

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 Waterford 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 Waterford 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 Waterford 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 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.
