“Lauren was wonderful! She had really good vibes from the beginning and did a great job with my cats. The cute pictures she took of them and the comments she left each time made my separation from my cats a little easier for me. Definitely recommend!”
“Thank You, We were stressed, with having to leave Panda (8 months old) the whole day. Allison was great, was on time for each visits, she played with Panda and Kept her safe. Highly recommend Allison to watch your pet.”
“I booked Kira at the last minute for my trip, and she was flexible. She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and followed every instruction. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Miss Genevieve was great. She arrived every day that we booked, sent me photos and communicated with me to update how the kitties were doing. It was extremely comforting having her drop in while we were away. She also retrieved an Amazon package that contained Feliway plug-in for the cats and set that up for them. Truly thankful for her services.”
“Christina is just the best! She provides such good care to my elderly cat in my absence . I can fully on her animal-dedicated affection and trustworthiness. Five stars without question!”
“Amanda was amazing with our kitty, who is a very picky eater. Amanda coaxed her to eat with cuddles and playing fun music, and kept us up to date about how much she was eating daily. Plus, she sent cute photos and videos every day! We knew immediately that our kitty was in good hands, & came home to a very happy cat. We're so grateful & we hope to work with Amanda many more times in the future.”
About: I have experience rescuing cats and dogs and administering medication. I’ve also done house sitting and pet sitting for several homes. I enjoy running and playing with dogs to keep them active and happy, and I can also help them stay calm when needed. I offer walks up to 1 hour and can safely handle up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable cleaning up after pets, changing diapers if needed, and giving medication. I work Mondays and Wednesday–Friday from 7 to 3, and Saturdays from 3 to 11pm. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Sundays 😊 I adapt to each home and follow the owner’s preferences and routine for their pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or keeping their space clean. I always adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: I love all animals! I grew up with family dogs, and I have done petsitting for puppies and elderly dogs for friends and family, and seasonally worked on a farm where I worked with guardian dogs, sheep, cows, and chickens. I'd be so excited to take care of your pets with the love and affection they deserve! I work on weekends, so I'm available for dog walking during the day Monday-Thursday for the most part. Would love to walk dogs or sit for them in your home! Unfortunately my home can't accommodate animal boarding. I love to give animals affection and proper care. Good outside time, exploring, playing, and order are all important for making animals feel safe and secure.
“Nicole was a blessing in a pinch. We needed last minute care and reached out to her. She was very responsive and replied back in a timely manner. She took such great care of our Tava. She meds sure her emotional and physical needs were met. We received so many photos when updates were sent. Each time our Tava looked happy and stimulated. We will definitely be using her services again if she is available.”
“I will def use Destiny again. Expectations exceeded! Put care into her visits and understood little mishaps. Spent personal time with my pup knowing she was bored. My pup loved her as well.”
About: I’ve had pets and taken care of a wide variety of animals from a very young age. They’re furry family members who need just as much love and care as we do! It fits well into my schedule throughout the week. Being able to take care of pets in one of the best ways to find work. I can assure you that your furry friend will be taken care of exactly how you want. My baby is 10 years old and has lived a very fun, spoiled life thus far. It’s only fair to share the care!
About: I love animals, have grown up with dogs and cats, and have been fostering cats for the last 5 years, I including administering all sorts of medicine to cats and kittens. I work from home and go on daily walks, so why not take your pup for a walk as well! I also love to travel and am happy to help other people travel by helping take care of their fur family. I’ve been fostering cats and kittens for over 5 years, and have absolutely loved helping these animals find loving homes. I don’t currently have any animals of my own, which can help make your animal feel comfortable in my home if necessary. I understand a lot of animals require patience and space to warm up, and am happy to work with their comfort level.
“Alesscia took such great care of my babies and sent so many wonderful pictures. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the care, updates, photos, and love shown to Drifter and Moscow.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and currently live with four dogs. Over the years, I have cared for six dogs in total, including raising several from puppies. I also help care for my friend’s dog, Oreo, whenever she needs assistance. Because I have experience with puppies, I understand the patience, attention, and consistency they need. I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and occasional pet sitting depending on my availability. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to making sure your dog receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. I will communicate with owners and follow all care instructions carefully. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and raising several from puppies, I understand the importance of routines, supervision, and exercise. I will carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests. I will provide updates and photos when requested so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands
About: I have experience working with animals in shelters since high school. I have also taken care of people's pets for long periods of time. I know how to handle animals with different personalities. I am very careful and attentive and will make sure pets get the appropriate care. I am currently enrolled in school full time, but I have time to drop by in the evenings and mornings if needed. I am also available on weekends. I cannot take pets into my home, as I live in a college dorm. However, I am happy to take care of pets in the owners' homes.
“Midori was wonderful to our 2 cats. I was really nervous about leaving them for a few days, especially since one of our cats is very shy and easily scared. Midori sent pictures with every visit and managed to get a picture of my shy baby in his safe spot under the bed each time she was there. That eased my mind knowing he was ok. My other cat is more outgoing and Midori sent pictures of him playing with his favorite toy and waiting for her by the door. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: My family has had dogs forever, ranging from small medium and large so growing up with all kinds of dogs has given me experience in how to handle any situation with any dog! I’m currently a college student and away from my dog at home and am looking for any way to have more interactions with pets. Also, my most recent dog is now 2 years old and I did the majority of training, so if there are any needs or wants for training while I am sitting, I am more than capable. I’m currently a full time student and on the William & Mary Varsity Men’s soccer team, however, I have many breaks throughout my day. The only block of the day I’m usually completely unavailable is from 2-6PM When caring for pets in clients homes you can expect the utmost respect for the home but also a willingness to learn how you usually handle your dog at home. Whether that is using the crate and having some more strict guidelines, or if it is a more relaxed environment.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Williamsburg is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Williamsburg
Alexis was kind enough to check in on our kitties while we were out of town for a little over a week. We have a hard time leaving our cats as they’re used to someone being home with them all the time, but Alexis gave us all the reassurance we needed. She played with them using their favorite toys and provided us detailed updates. It’s clear from the pictures that our kitties adore her 🥰. It’s important to mention that Alexis took time out of a very special day for her to tend to our kitties, which I cannot thank her enough for. She is highly reliable! Alexis goes above and beyond, as she also cleaned up some broken pots outside that fell due to storm winds. I would highly recommend Alexis to watch any pet and will certainly be reaching out to her in the future when we go out of town.
Lauren did a wonderful job looking after my cat for 10 days while I was traveling. She was on time and did everything I asked of her, including giving wet & dry food, scooping the litterbox, refilling the water fountain, and sending photos of my car during the daily drop-in. The feeding/water area and litterbox were nice and clean when I returned home. I would recommend Lauren!
Alex was an amazing, caring and considerate drop-in sitter for Willow during the time we were away. Willow looked fantastic upon return, and it was evident that she was well cared for. The photos and comments were appreciated and made us know that we had made the correct decision in choosing Alex as Willow's drop-in sitter. She is a kind, devoted animal loving individual, and it was a pleasure meeting her.

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.

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.
