“My dog had such a great time with Bertie while I was on vacation, she probably didn’t even notice I was gone. Seeing the pictures of their day together made me happy and I will rebook in the future!”
“Jordana was so flexible with a short-notice request and with setting up time to meet our dog Magz. She seemed very experienced in dealing with our dog's reactivity to certain triggers and was great with sticking to her routine. Thank you Jordana!”
“Abigail is an excellent pet sitter and I strongly recommend her. I felt very comfortable with Abigail coming into my home to care for my cat. She is a kind hearted and caring person who genuinely loves pets!”
“Karlee was awesome! She left the most detailed notes and photos that I've ever seen from a sitter, and she was incredibly personable and warm. Definitely glad we found her to care for our kitties and wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”
“Basil was awesome with our two kitties! Felt very good that our cats were well cared for. Gave medicine to one of our cats. Responsive and helpful and even stopped by to meet them for the first time. Highly recommend Basil.”
About: Hi there! I’ve grown up with cat and dogs and bunnies and animals of all kinds. I’ve got free time in the mornings and afternoons to help take care of your pup, and I’d love to! Shoot me a message and let’s schedule time. I’m working part time right now, so I’ve got plenty of availability in the mornings and afternoons to check in. Let me know your schedule and we can work something out! I don’t have the ability to host dogs or cats at my location, but I’m happy to do any dog or cat sitting at your home. I’ve got a calm demeanor and will respect any rules and routines you have in place.
About: I’ve always had animals in my younger life from cats to dogs, and even though I only have a cat I continue to love dogs. My current housing situation allows me to share dog sitting and caring of his clients dogs (ages 9 months to 14 years) for the last ten years. Since then I have asked my neighbors for tending to the needs of their dogs be it from a 5 mile walk on and off leash to a 100 yard potty break in addition to giving medications. I’m currently working part time three days a week and an occasional Saturday, so I have the time to care and interact for your furry friend. I live in a neighborhood with easy access to the Rivanna trails and a road trip access to a farm with woods in Earlysville for running in fields. I also have a very tolerant cat who actually enjoys dogs staying with me because she’s learned that visiting dogs often get a treat she’s earned one too. My house has hardwood floors on the first floor throughout access to the carpeted lower level is through a door. The dog would have free range of the house while we were at home and unless he/she is accustomed to be crated.
About: I've had dogs my whole life and started dog-sitting for my neighbors at 9 years old. I love all animals, but dogs have a very special place in my heart. I've worked with dogs of all ages, and over the summer, I cared for a puppy full-time for the family I nanny for. I am very comfortable with big dogs and have lots of experience with large breeds, including Corsos and English Mastiffs. I hope I can make your time away from your pets a little bit easier and less stressful! I am a full-time student at the University of Virginia (with a car), so I have classes during the weekdays; however, I do have many breaks and a few days each week without classes, so I have a lot of room for coming by to check in and help out in any way I can. What I do to keep the animals and myself safe really depends on the situation. When I walk, I always carry pepper spray, and I have collars with lights on them in case I am ever walking a dog in low visibility. The important thing to me is making sure I follow any specific requests from the owners!
“Katie has sat for us twice now and is always very conscientious, thoughtful, and thorough. She’s great at staying in touch and it’s so nice to know my babies are in such good hands.”
“Danielle was great with Cat! She sent pictures and texted an update during her visit. I was happy to know Cat had such good company. I've already booked more time with Danielle and would highly recommend her care.”
About: I'm an animal lover, Mom, local business owner, and outdoor enthusiast! I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have spent many years fostering, volunteering for rescue organizations and leading dog walks and hikes. When I'm not caring for your pet babies, I'm in the kitchen working as a private chef here in Central, VA! Because I'm self employed with a flexible schedule, your pet won't have to spend long hours alone. I focus on low-stress, individualized attention—no overcrowded group walks or forced interactions. I'm comfortable following strict feeding schedules, giving oral medications, keeping up with active routines, and showing lots of affection, kindness and respect to your animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness is always my top priority! I'm self employed as a private chef and make my own schedule, so I have the time and flexibility to accommodate your pet needs! The opportunity to spend time with animals and get out of the kitchen into the fresh air is a win-win! I always strictly follow owner instructions and offer a safe, calm, active (when appropriate) and loving space for your pets to find connection while their owners are away.
About: I’m a long-time pet sitter who took care of my neighbors’ dogs, cats, hermit crabs, birds, and fish growing up. As a child, I took attentive care of my hamster, betta fish, and snail and loved growing up with cats. In 2020, I fostered and then adopted my cat, Cruz, from the SPCA. We lived with two humans, two dogs, and three rats. Cruz and I now live with my partner and her cat, Moo Moo, in Belmont. I regularly commute through Rio Road and can easily spend time with your pets on my way to and from my part-time job at the library. I live in Belmont and regularly commute through town and Rio Road. I work part-time, allowing me to spend time getting to know your pets during visits. I notice and respect the boundaries that nervous cats and dogs lay out. The patient and calm energy I bring minimizes stress to anxious animals.
About: My family had labradors from the time I was an infant. All of ours were raised as puppies, well behaved and successfully potty trained. I also had a French bulldog raised from a puppy as an adult. In recent years I have learned to love cats through my wife, and we now have 4 lovely adult indoor cats who we rescued all as kittens. I work from home 9-5 Monday through Friday. I can be flexible for mid-day visits, although mornings and afternoons/evenings are more reliable. I am generally available at all times of day on weekends. I have my own transportation and I’m happy to accommodate your needs. My own pets mean the world to me, I strive to be the person they see me as. I treat all animals the same way: with kindness, respect, and love, especially for rescues who may not have had the easiest lives. I have a white collar job where I’m expected to have high professionalism and customer service standards, and I bring that ethos to my work with animals as well.
About: I have grown up with different ages of dogs and helped out at shelters throughout my life. I am able to feed, do medications if needed, baths and walks. please message me for availability. I would love for you to get to know me and work out a schedule that works. so happy to meet you! I am renting at a place that does not allow animals in this space/home but I can do drop in and walks as needed.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet person who grew up with a whole host of cats and dogs. I love all pets but my favorites are big dogs and old cats — I have a 21 year old cat and a French Mastiff back home. My background as a teacher, nanny, house manager, and personal assistant means I’m reliable, organized, and great at keeping routines smooth. I’m happy to share references and I love meet & greets to make sure it’s a perfect fit. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! My law school classes start in the late morning and are spread throughout the day, which gives me flexibility for morning visits, midday check-ins, and walks. For clients in Charlottesville, I’m able to come back to the home between classes, so pets aren’t left alone for long stretches. When I care for pets in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, relaxed, and never feeling alone. I spend time with them in common spaces so they can get used to me. If they’re comfortable, I let pets sleep in my room at night so they don’t feel lonely or miss their owners too much. Safety is a top priority for me—I never take dogs outside a fenced yard without a leash, even if they’re well trained, and I’m very careful with doors and entryways (I know all the kitty-proof tricks to prevent curious cats from sneaking out). I enjoy playing with pets who are able, I’m very clean and tidy, quick to handle messes, and I treat your home with care. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I work remote so I can always be available for your little buddy! I’m a medical student, so I will have to be gone a few hours in the morning, but after that I can cater to any of your animals needs. I get up around 7 AM and head to get around 11:30. I always take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs and get some sun. Whatever you need, I’ll make sure your pet is well loved and appreciated! My house is always very clean and very spacious. I also live right next to a park and go for walks by myself regularly. Whenever I watch my friends animals, I bring my own food and activities and leave the place better than I found it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wildwood
I’m so grateful for Tracy! She was very patient with my shy cats and by the second visit I could tell from photos they were much more relaxed and seemed to be genuinely enjoying her. Everything was perfect with good updates. Both cats were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t ask for more.
Rachael is great! She knows exactly how to manage our rambunctious boys, giving them time to play and planning fun, stimulating exercises in the backyard. One of my dogs can be slow to warm, but after our meet and greet, he was sleeping by her feet! She is able to tailor her approach to each dog’s needs and personality and is a pro at capturing the best photos during her visits.
Jordana has been phenomenal with our boy Elroy. She is attentive to details and always gives us updates on how the visit went. She is very communicative and has worked with us many times on last minute changes and needs which we greatly appreciate. Your fur baby will be well taken care of and loved in her care.
Miranda went above and beyond again for us while we were traveling. It was a longer trip this time and she sent updates and pictures every time. She took great care of our home as well. I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wildwood is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 660 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wildwood. 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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
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.
