“Anna was awesome! She took extremely good care of Mia. She arrived at the appointed time everyday and stayed to play with my girl. Anna bonded well with Mia who is very shy until she gets used to someone. She kept me up to date with each visit with detailed information. Highly encourage anyone looking for someone to take care of your pet, Anna would be an excellent choice.”
“Tess is hands down the best dog sitter in Williamsburg and I've had several. Her Rover reports are descriptive, thorough and heartwarming, sometimes entertaining! She is understanding, professional and kind. My dog loves her and I trust her completely. What a gem, wish I could take her with me when I move out of state! Tess has lots of big dog experience and truly is a dog whisper, and her perceptiveness is off the charts for how a dog is feeling! She is the above and beyond I was looking for.... What a find- you will not find better. Williamsburg, you have the best of the best.”
“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!”
About: I have had pets my entire life - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, hamsters, and more. I adore animals, and do everything I can to help each and every one of them. I am a student - outside of class, my schedule is pretty flexible. I am able to dedicate parts of my day to taking care of your animals! I treat animals in any location with respect and love. I do everything I can for my own pets, and will do the same for yours.
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter for the past 7 years and have looked after dogs of all sizes and breeds. I used to be responsible for upwards of 20 dogs and provided walks, care, home visits, feeding, and medication. Im currently working remote and part time so will have lots of time to hang out with your pets! I’m super flexible and can make most times work! I always make sure to open/close the door carefully in case your fur baby is a runner, as well as make sure to use a secure leash or harness while outside!
“Craig was fantastic! He took lots of pictures and communicated really well, I felt so happy and confident knowing my pets were in great hands. He went above and beyond, I will definitely be asking for Craig’s help next time I’m out of town (-:!”
About: I walk dogs for my local animal shelters frequently and i have raised and trained all of my dogs (i had 4) form when they where puppies so adults. I am a college student in my senior year, so my schedule is fairly flexible. However, my best availability is on the weekends and fridays. I have so much respect and love for animals, and I understand that they are family and someone’s babies. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and do whatever they need to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals of all sorts since I was young, and have loved every minute! I grew up with four dogs and two cats (plus fish!) and have taken care of dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I have tons of energy for play time and walks, and am ready to supply cuddles once your pet is tired out! I also have two senior dogs so know the extra care they require, and am happy to chat with you if you need extra help with your senior pup. Your pet’s health, wellness and happiness is my top priority and I look forward to helping you take care of your furry friends. I currently work full time, but I’m lucky to have a very steady schedule that keeps me busy from 8-6 from Tuesday-Thursday, plus work from home days with lots of flexibility on Mondays and Fridays. I have full availability on the weekends and am able to stop in for lunch visits on the days I work in office as well. I’ve pet and house sat for all kinds of pets and people. I am comfortable with every step of the feeding, walking and general care processes you have for your pet. I try to implement a visit with you before my first visit alone with your pet to make sure you and I both feel comfortable and confident with my care.
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.
“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: Ever sense I was a kid I've loved taking care of any animal under the sun, and I still do. When I got my first dog I was so excited and loved him no matter what. I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world for your pets. I am avaliable on weekdays at anytime and will give your pets the attention they want. I can give all of my attention to your pets and make them feel happy and excited or the opposite where both of us can relax and enjoy eachothers company.
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of my families Labs and Golden Retrievers for many years. I’ve also pet sit at friends houses and taken care of cats and many different breeds of dogs. I’m looking for this to be my part time work while I take summer classes. I like to work out in the mornings but I am free all afternoon, and can be available in the mornings if needed. I also walk dogs on a leash and treat any dogs like they’re my own. I have 3 golden retrievers at home that are apart of my family and I will treat your pets with the same care.
“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.”
“If you want your dog to stay active and provided that human comfort during the relaxing moments then Midori is the answer. Out of the sitters on Rover & available in her area, I’d say she’s at the top. She provides plenty of exercise, not just a walk around the block or fetch for a few minutes and back inside, no, she gives your dog an enjoyable workout if they prefer that. Plus where some sitters may get complacent once inside the house, she continues to stay engaged inside by constantly communicating, cuddle with them, or playing with the toys when the dog is clearly trying to play. This made me happy to see, bc I’ve had sitters get inside and go right on their phone or tablet while my dog keeps bringing toy after toy to them dropping it on their lap, and little attention is provided. When I ask to have my dog watched, that means giving them that human interaction since I’m not there. Plus she followed all needed instructions, and most importantly IMO she was not a “clock watcher”. Wasn’t leaving early, in fact she stayed a couple minutes over a couple times which shows she’s not worried about that and truly enjoys doing this. 5+ Stars.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Williamsburg
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Williamsburg on Rover is $21.09 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 924 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
- 98% 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.
