“Jocelyn was perfect for our cat! Our cat isn't super sociable and she understood that and gave her the space she needed. Thorough with communication and flexible to our needs! 5 stars all the way and will be booking again”
“Kathryn was my Cat sitter for six days recently when I was out of state. I have an old cat with a lot of needs and takes medicine and I was worried about leaving her because she hadn’t done well before with other Pet Sitter‘s but with Kathryn it was amazing. She is so knowledgeable and kind and kept me informed everything and the best part is that when I returned, my cat was doing well. I could tell she wasn’t too stressed and has gotten quickly back into the routine of me being home again. I’m so lucky to have found Kathryn and I would recommend her to anyone. I hadn’t taken a vacation in a while due to my cat and how she normally does not do well when I’m gone, but I’ve already decided that I’m gonna try to take another trip this summer because I know I have Kathryn now Thank you, Kathryn for everything Molly Pallavicini”
“Sylvia was willing to come meet and greet my cats when I had a last minute change and needed a sitter, and she was wonderful for the weekend I needed her! My two cats have different personalities, and she understood and kept me informed during her visits. I would definitely recommend Sylvia for your drop-in cat needs.”
“Destiny took wonderful care of Danny and Ella! She was responsible, reliable, attentive, and very caring. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. She communicated well, followed all instructions, and treated them with so much kindness. I would absolutely trust Destiny to care for them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and thoughtful!”
About: I am currently a college student studying zoo and wildlife biology, and I hope to have a career in either wildlife rehabilitation or working at a zoo. I have a good amount of experience with animals; I have been around animals my whole life, my grandfather was a veterinarian, and I have been pet sitting since high school. I also worked as a kennel attendant at Augusta Valley Animal Hospital. I currently volunteer at the Humane Society and have at the SPCA as well, walking dogs and performing other tasks. I am hoping to do some pet care over the summer to earn some money and get some more experience. I will be doing an internship 3 times a week, so I am only available 4 days a week. I live a little bit out in the country, so we have some land and a private and safe road for walks. There is very little traffic, so it is a peaceful area. I have not yet hosted a client's pet in my home, but I have a lot of experience and can follow detailed instructions for your pet to provide them with the best care.
“We booked her last minute and she did an amazing job. She was responsive, caring, and came over to take great care of Mocha, which gave us total peace of mind. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book her again!”
“Everything was great! Sammi was on time, communicative, and the kitties were relaxed and happy when we got back. She even got our any kitty out of his shell quickly. Sammi left the house in good order, tidying up as she went, which was much appreciated!”
“Alexis did a wonderful job! Annie and Alaska very much enjoyed her company. She was accessible & responsive. Alexis has a genuine love for animals. I highly recommend her as an animal caretaker.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets over the years. Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and bathe their pets. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday after 11am. I live in a small neighborhood with places to go for walks and have lots of backyard space. Perfect for playing fetch with your pups!
“Nicki did an absolutely amazing job with my new puppy! She was patient, kind, and Millie loved her! She checked on her a couple of times throughout the day and helped let her outside, fed her and played with her!”
About: I provide a loving, reliable and stress-free environment for pets of all sizes, with years of hands on experience! I’m flexible, friendly and ready to meet all of your animals! I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5PM, but I love spending my free time caring for animals! I offer pet care before and after work, on weekends, and I’m happy to provide lunch-time drop-in visits for pets in the Waynesboro area. Dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small pets are all welcome!! 🐦🦎🐶🐱 I’d love the opportunity to help care for your furry, feathered, or scaly family members🖤🙌🏻 I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even when their family is away! I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide care that’s as familiar as possible😊 I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, fresh food/water, and any medications or special care they may need. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is in caring hands🥰🐾
“PJ was wonderful! She kept me updated with photos throughout the week and had great communication. She has a genuine care for animals and was a natural with my cats. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
About: I care for every dog as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, belly rubs, or quiet companionship. You’ll receive regular updates and photos. When we have boarding services available, for the safety and comfort of every guest, we board dogs from one family at a time. Whether you have one dog or several, they’ll enjoy our full attention and a calm, low-stress environment. We currently have no pets of our own. Currently, I’m available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday drop-in visits, boarding and walks. Once the school year begins, I’ll be available evenings after work, as well as weekends and holidays. For drop in visits I prefer serving the Waynesboro, Fishersville, Stuarts Draft and Crozet areas so I can provide reliable, timely care. I am considerate and respectful in your home and carefully follow care instructions. My goal is to make the experience happy, safe and loving for your dog.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember. I have a large black lab of my own so I’m used to handling big dogs. I have watched dogs of all breeds from great Danes to mini toy poodles. I’m a grad student looking for a way to make a little extra money by taking great care of some pups. I’m currently in graduate school but have large gaps between classes where I can take your pup on brief walks, feed, and play with them throughout the day! In the mornings or afternoon once my classes are over I can take the dogs on longer walks and spend a little bit more time with them! At this time I do not provide care in my home but I’m willing to drop by at any hour to help keep your pup company! I am a lover of all animals! At school I’m missing my dog so I would love your fur baby as my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Waynesboro on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 805 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waynesboro. 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 Waynesboro 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waynesboro. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
