“Amanda was a fantastic dog sitter to our two dogs, Sammy and Apollo. She was especially great with our dog, Apollo, who can be temperamental. She was very patient with him and made sure he felt comfortable. Amanda is also very good at sending updates and photos so I always knew they were taken care of. Thank you Amanda, the boys look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Tess has helped us several times, and every time she is wonderful. She is professional, attentive, thorough, sweet with our older dog, able to handle his more complex food prep routine (due to EPI), and she gives great updates with numerous pictures during her check-in visits. Our dog is so excited to see her with tail wags off the charts. No doubt that we would love for her to continue to care for our dog when we’re away.”
“Natalie did a great job! She showed up on time and even early for all of her 8 visits. I will definitely use her again, and I would absolutely recommend her her. Great job Natalie!”
About: I have spent my whole life loving and training pets, specifically dogs and puppies. I raised a service dog and have experience fostering service dogs in training for Canine Companions for Independence. I'm a full time student at William & Mary, and I have free time in the afternoons and evenings on weekdays and the morning and afternoon on weekends. I am renting a small house next to Colonial Williamsburg. I am comfortable taking care of a dog in my home, or in your home.
“Lauren was excellent. With daily updates and pics, we were never worried about our 4-legged critters. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area, and we will certainly be using her services again!”
“Rhianna took great care of our very shy, skittish cat. He usually hides when new people enter the apartment. She was able to find him each day and even sent me pictures! I’m happy with the care she gave our cat, Toast!”
About: Every since I got my first cat my life has never been the same. Now I always love to take care of all my pets for my friends and family house sitting and long walks. I'm a college student, so over the summer I have copious amounts of free time that allows me to flexibly take care of pets throughout the day. I ensure that all their primary needs are first satisfied, food, water, and walks, then I like to ensure that they get plenty of attention for the time I'm with them.
“Destiny was excellent. I have been using the same rover person for the last few years but she moved away so I had to find a new one. Sirius can be a bit of a pain with new people, but he took to her immediately. She was great at keeping us informed and sent some nice pics to put us at ease. Excellent job in every way and will definitely be reaching out to her next time we head out of town.”
“Honey took amazing care of my cat Goose! Goose has been having some health problems and Honey made me feel very comfortable leaving him in her care! She sent me very detailed photos and summaries. I would highly recommend Honey to anyone needing a sitter for their pets!”
About: I have cared for many pets and homes over the years, the vast majority being repeat clients. I prefer to stay in-home with the pets to reduce their anxiety, provide a sense of normalcy, and retain stability in their owners’ absence. I have booked by word of mouth for over 25 years; this will be my first Rover experience. I am available for your pets the majority of the day, and will be able to work around their set schedules as needed. Very flexible! I strive to provide the care you seek for your four-legged loved ones. Feeding schedules, walking schedules, playtime, and care for your home are all vital factors taken into consideration when considering if this is a mutual match.
“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: As a Vet student, I will be able to give the best possible care to your fur baby! Whether its giving medications or providing stimulating activities, I can do them all! I’m currently just a vet student who spends lots of time at home studying! I can watch your fur baby right after class with the knowledge of professional care fresh from my brain! I live in an apartment that contains a dog, a cat, and three birds! The yard lacks a fence but with supervision and on leash, pups would still have fun while taking potty breaks.
“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.”
“Olivia did a great job with our senior cat. From our initial meet & greet to and throughout our trip she was kind, knowledgeable, punctual, attentive, and eager to help. We greatly appreciated her updates and photographs, reassuring us our girl was being well cared for in our absence. Many thanks to Olivia, we will definitely be calling on her again in the future.”

Felt so comfortable with Lauren taking care of our Rocky. She expressed concern and care for him, which means so much to us! She was timely, honest, and when we came home he was in great condition and happy. Definitely plan to use Lauren again to care for our boy
Honey is simply the BEST pet sitter! She does not merely sit with the pets. She engages them keep them active and curious. Honey make sure everything is clean for pets and they have freshwater and activity whenever she visits. Other people just merely sit in the room for 30 minutes and that’s not what she does. If you need a truly exceptional pet sitter consider Honey
Midori was a wonderful cat sitter for our two cats! She sent photos/videos everyday. She spent a lot of time caring for them and playing with them! Midori was also very responsive to any text messages and questions that I had. We were very, very happy with her, and our cats were too😊. I highly recommend her!
This was my third booking with Tori, and she was such a phenomenal sitter as always. She’s so good about taking pictures during her drop ins and sharing thorough and heartwarming updates. I especially love how attentive she is to all my baby’s quirks!! Could not recommend a better sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Williamsburg on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 941 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Williamsburg. 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 Williamsburg 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 Williamsburg. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
