“Jynette helped us out last minute this week by walking our dog, Kirby. It didn’t take long for him to warm up to her! She was timely and so friendly during our meet and great. Highly recommend.”
“After the meet & greet took place, I knew Amanda would be the perfect person to care for my dogs. She’s reliable, compassionate, attentive, and patient with dogs that have special quirks and needs. I highly recommend Amanda as a resource for your animal needs!”
“Shannon did an awesome job on her drop-in visits with our three cats. Our home was also in great shape when we returned; all cat waste was handled properly. There is huge peace of mind knowing that our furkids are happy when we leave home.”
“Janet is the best! Very reliable, timely, and always informative. Thoroughly reports on each cat each visit. She makes sure their litter is super clean and they remain well fed and attended. My first choice always!”
“Annabella is great. She picked up a very short notice drop-in visit, and gave me and my wife peace of mind on our weekend trip. She followed every request I had exactly and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Damacia was absolutely wonderful with my dog. Easy to work with, gentle, kind, and truly a dog whisperer. Bentley felt comfortable right away, and I could tell he was being cared for with real patience and warmth. I would absolutely trust Damacia again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, compassionate pet care.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for most of my life. My family and friends have always counted on me to care for our/their pets when needed. I have walked, bathed, fed, snuggled and played with them! I am a full time worker, five days a week, nine hours a day from 9AM to 6PM. And I also have a part-time job that I do on the weekends, but I am still open to any service I could possibly provide for you and your pet! I receive my part-time job schedule weekly schedule every Saturday, so communication is key. I will care for your pets in your home by providing them the care that they need, walks, runs, snuggles, playtime, you name it! If there is anything specific you want me to know or abide by please let me know and I will make sure you and your pet are left satisfied :)
“Janini was fantastic!! She did a daily visit/walk. She showed up when she said she would and was in great communication for the 5 days she took care of my dog. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Marisa has been an amazing regular sitter for my dog, Marley! She is professional, flexible, and great at communicating but most of all I can tell that she loves animals. Would definitely recommend Marisa.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs as small as a mini pincher/chihuahua and as big as a bernidoodle. I am willing to make sure your pet has all they need and are well taken care of. I work from home Monday thru Friday. That gives me a lot of flexibility with my time. Saturday and Sunday I typically spend my days at home with the exception of going to the gym in the mornings. I recently moved back into my Richmond home, and have a large backyard that’s perfect for your pet. I have a large backyard that’s perfect for play. We’d spend a lot of time outside on the nice and sunny days. If I need to come to your home, I have a child that loves dogs. He is extremely gentle with them and enjoys their company.
About: My boy kitty passed away last year at 14 years old. He became very sick in his last 2 years so his care required daily shots, weekly vet visits. I became very proficient in giving pills by mouth as well. He was big and strong and didn’t like the vet or car rides so i learned how to best manage a very scared kitty. My mom had a senior dog who developed diabetes so I cared for him in my home for the last few years of his life. I gave him insulin shots twice a day and performed his medical care. I gave him meds by mouth and performed other care duties. I work part-time and am in school at ODU online so my hours are flexible. I live in the Richmond area and service a fairly wide range as I have my own reliable transportation. I prefer to pet-sit in the clients home as I have a cat myself. My grandma rescued hunting dogs, particularly hounds and beagles, when I was growing up, so I am safety minded when it comes to pets, especially ones who get scared easily.
“Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.”
About: Dogs and cats aren't just pets to me—they are family, confidants, and absolute best friends. My own pets are my genuine besties, and I promise to treat yours with that exact same level of unconditional love, respect, and playful energy! My house is a happily packed pet paradise, and all five of my fur-babies are adopted rescues! I have a massive heart for rescue animals and am the proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs—Harry, a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno, and Sally, a Cairn Terrier/Corgi mix. We also share our home with two gorgeous Norwegian Forest Cats, Chaussette and Hugo, and our sweet senior calico queen, Greta (lovingly nicknamed Goose). I have spent my entire life raising, loving, and working with animals. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for Corgis, German Shepherds, Black Labs, and unique mixed breeds of every shape and size. Professionally, I have extensive experience working housesitting and petsitting jobs for giant breeds, tiny pups, and everything in between. Why In-Home Care Matters: I focus entirely on taking care of pets in their own environment. Boarding facilities can be loud, chaotic, and scary. By keeping your dogs and cats at home for walks, drop-ins, and weekend stays, we maintain their exact eating and sleeping consistency, heavily reduce their separation anxiety, and eliminate the stress of an unfamiliar place. Your pet gets to stay in their favorite spot on the couch, and I bring the love directly to them! Specialized Care You Can Trust: * Senior & Special Needs Care: Because I care for my own sweet senior rescue Greta at home, I have a deep understanding of senior dogs and cats who need a slower pace, gentle handling, extra bathroom breaks, and patient companionship. * Medical & Medication Management: I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications (oral pills, liquid supplements, or topical treatments) safely and strictly on your required timeline. * True Cat Adoration: I absolutely adore cats! I respect their boundaries, will happily scoop litter boxes to keep their space pristine, and am always ready to whip out the feather wand if the mood strikes your kitty for some playtime. * All-Size Confident: From massive, energetic guard dogs to small, independent pups, my professional sitting background means I know how to handle and lead dogs of any size safely. When your besties are with me, they get a dedicated friend who will send you plenty of fun photo updates, respect your house rules perfectly, and keep them safe, happy, and completely spoiled in the comfort of their own home! I work a standard full-time day job, but my schedule is highly optimized for local pet care! I am available for weekday lunch-break check-ins, daytime drop-in visits, and refreshing dog walks. I also specialize in weekend overnight house sitting stays (and can occasionally accommodate weeknights by special request), making sure your fur-babies get dedicated evening cuddles, structured morning routines, and constant love. I always recommend a free 30 minute meet & greet with you and your pet(s) prior to booking. This helps everyone involved and especially your pet.
“Jules is great! My cat can be shy or indifferent with strangers but got along really well with Jules. Beyond that, Jules is a good communicator and dependable. I know my cat is in good hands with her!”
“This was our first Rover experience and Virginia was a perfectly wonderful pet sitter for our cat, Fergus. She came by to meet him ahead of time, sent lots of photos and videos while we were away and, above all, made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her pet-loving hands. We would recommend Virginia highly and hope to find the opportunity to have her help again soon!”
“Having Robin as my pet sitter when I was out of town gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure my two cats were fed, had clean water and litter boxes, and had play time and snuggles! My cat Leo got a UTI right before my trip and had to be on medication. It was such a relief to know that I had already set up for Robin to be there each day so she could give him his pill. She provided me with detailed notes on how the cats were doing and pictures every day. I felt like she cared for my pets as if they were her own and I am so grateful. I would definitely trust Robin with my pets in the future!”
“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”

Kiara did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our 6 cats. She provided detailed updates, photos and even got on the floor to look under the bed for one who was hiding. After all that, she stepped in to help when we delayed a day returning from our trip. She is great!!
This was our first booking with Rebecca, and it went great! She did two drop-ins with Zeus over the weekend. She was communicative and prompt, and provided updates with pictures and a summary of their time together. We look forward to working with her again in the future!
Erica was so patient and caring with Bentley. We met prior to my vaca to walk through the instructions. She was so accommodating and punctual in getting to each check in. Followed all the steps I gave her for Bentley and for the house. Took pics and kept me updated through oir vaca. I would definitely rebook with Erica again.
Julia is amazing! She's dependable, easy to communicate with, and it's obvious she really loves animals. We really appreciate the updates she sends and the peace of mind knowing our pup is getting great care while we're away. We're so glad we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wilkinson Terrace is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 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 2,472 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wilkinson Terrace. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilkinson Terrace. On Rover:
- 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.
