About: I’ve taken care of pets of all ages! I don’t mind administering medications or anything extra you need to keep your pets healthy! I will treat your babies as if they were my own! I’m currently a stay at home mom. I use to work as a vet receptionist for 4-5 years. I do some side jobs cleaning as well. But naturally I’m home 24/7 now! I would care for them like they were my own babies! Your babies are more than safe with me! I go above and beyond and I absolutely love doing so!
About: Hello awesome pet owners!! Thank you for viewing my profile. I LOVE dogs and have since I was a little girl. I grew up reading about all the different breeds and how unique each one of them are. My first job at 12 years old was dog walking a Bichon and have cared for many dogs throughout the years. (over 20 years experience, from puppies to senior dogs). I received my bachelors degree in psychology and have two awesome boys. We live in a fenced in backyard, smoke free home! I take a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure the most attention and care. I would love to watch your sweet babies! I am a homemaker who loves to take care of the needs of those around me and provide care flexible to my dog owners needs. I provide quality play time and cuddles. 8am to 5pm for weekly daycare! I make sure each dog is taken care of keeping small items off the floors when playing indoors and having a secure fenced in backyard for play outdoors.
About: Hi! I’m Nevaeh 🐶🐱✨ I’m a caring, reliable pet sitter who loves both dogs and cats. I’ve grown up around animals and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities—shy cats, energetic puppies, senior pets, you name it. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m patient, good at following routines, and always keep things clean and calm. I also send regular updates and cute pictures so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. I would love the chance to take great care of your pets and make your life a little easier! 💕 I currently work part-time, but I’m very flexible and will always do my best to work something out so your fur baby is in safe hands. If you need specific times or last-minute care, just message me — I’ll try my hardest to make it happen! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can give them the best care possible. I always double-check doors, leashes, bowls, and instructions to make sure everything is secure and consistent. I communicate clearly, send regular updates, and keep you in the loop so you always know your fur baby is safe and happy. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, respect, and lots of love every visit.
About: Previously, I was an Animal Control Officer for the City of Fort Worth for 2 years and switched to assisting in running the Animal Adoption Center for the City of Fort Worth for 2 1/2 years. I personally have had pets my entire life from horses, birds, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. I love all breeds of animals the fluffier the better! I am currently attending online classes part-time from home so your fur babies will never feel lonely. Since I am always home your little ones will receive tons of love and plenty of playtime. I have experience with administrating medications and basic vet care for both cats and dogs so you never have to worry about the well-being of your pet while with me! I have both large and small crates if crating is needed along with a fenced-in backyard.
“Anna helped me out in a pinch with a last minute work trip. She was helpful and kept me informed the whole time. I appreciate the fact that she was willing to work with me on costs and even extending the visits when my trip got extended. My animals love Anna and I will definitely use her again!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like they’re my own, paying close attention to their routine, personality, and comfort. I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require extra care, slower walks, or medication support. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I truly care about making both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable and consistent for every booking. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, depending on your pet’s needs. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get the attention, feeding, and interaction they’re used to. Whether it’s quick drop-ins or longer visits, I’m committed to being on time and keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I pay close attention to their behavior and environment to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and tidy, including maintaining litter boxes and feeding areas. I always make sure doors, windows, and entry points are secure, and I’m mindful about preventing escapes—especially with indoor cats. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at ease and you have complete peace of mind.
“Abagail did fantastic with our two cats! She kept us in the loop the entire time, played with and took care of them. Super nice and attentive! We could tell she loved taking care of cats and did a great job. We will 100% rebook her again!! Highly recommend!”


About: Hi! I’m Kyla! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I even volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger, and I’ve spent about 6 years caring for dogs. I also worked at a veterinary office for a few years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have such a huge soft spot for animals because they really are the sweetest and most misunderstood babies EVEEEERRRR! 😂❤️ I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a good walk, playtime, cuddles, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. They’ll get plenty of love, attention, and probably way too many compliments from me! 🐶💕 I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I’ll always make sure I have enough time to give your pet a proper visit instead of rushing in and out. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! I’m very patient and attentive, and I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, and anything else are secure, and I’ll keep you updated so you know your baby is safe and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own! 🐶🐱💕

I am extremely patient and have a lot of experience with small dogs as well as large bully breed dogs with dominant personalities. I have one 10 yr old, spunky and sweet Chihuahua that loves everyone and everything!!! My other dogs have passed away and I really miss the chaos! I have a two year old little girl that has very good manners with animals, respects boundaries, she is with me half the time, depending on my work schedule for the week and will never ever be alone with YOUR baby or babies. and would love to have your babies come hang out too! I work night shifts at the hospital close by my house and I’m home when I’m not at work, so I’d love to help anyone out that needs it when I can! I have a huge yard with a 6 ft privacy fence, tons of toys, and even separate rooms I can seclude one of your babies in if they need. Whatever they need, I can and will provide.

About: You can finally relax knowing your pet will be safe, treated like family and given all the love. Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom located in the Hilton area of Newport News. I’m active, reliable, and available from early mornings until late afternoon. I’ve cared for everything from a home full of 7 cats and 4 labradoodles (all at once!) to countless pets belonging to friends, family, and friends of friends. I have a 6 year old son with special needs who absolutely adores pets so if you’re looking for boarding, please make sure your pet is child-friendly. During the day however, he’s in school and I will be able to cover those who may not be small child friendly. I don’t mind hopping in the car to take your pup to the park or on a trail if they need more than just a quick lap around the block. I’m a big morning person who thrives on routine but, full disclosure, I avoid rush hour or late-night driving since my son is with me after 3:30 p.m. Monday–Friday. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or a place to stay while you’re away, I am here to help. Just drop me and line❤️ I’m available Mon-Fri from 5am-5pm for walks, parks, even just a home visit and car ride if your pet just needs some 1:1 during work hours. Weekends are limited so send me a message during the week to check availability. I have a large yard but it is not fenced. My son and I enjoy walking whenever we can around our neighborhood in Hilton. I have a pet and baby proof clean home with a gentle loving child. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me so you won’t have to worry about anyone making a mess and it not being cleaned up.

I work from home and have tons of flexibility to walk and check in on your pets at any time of the day! Or have your pets come hangout with me at my house! I have a park in my neighborhood where your pups if allowed can roam and have fun! I work from home where your pet is allowed on my furniture to take a nap and cuddle!
“Ethel took wonderful care of my senior special needs little old lady, Kerry. Kerry was so comfortable with Ethel--she allowed head petting, which is something we don't get to do often! Would book Ethel again, for sure!”

About: Dogs have become a true passion of mine. I provide more than feeding and walks; I focus on understanding each dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. I’ve worked extensively with puppies and adolescent dogs, helping build confidence, good manners, and positive social skills through structure, patience, and consistency. I carefully monitor eating habits, energy levels, and overall health while dogs are in my care, and I keep owners updated with photos and detailed communication. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply relax, my goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. My schedule allows me to give dogs plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I plan my routine around exercise, structured play, rest periods, potty breaks, and enrichment rather than leaving dogs unattended for long stretches. I strive to maintain each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Safety is always my highest priority. Every new dog is introduced gradually based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience using crates appropriately for rest, meals, and decompression when needed, and I carefully supervise all interactions between dogs. If your dog prefers quiet one-on-one attention, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I believe every dog is an individual. I take time to observe behavior, communication, and comfort level so I can provide care that fits each dog’s personality rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
“Ashton was fantastic! I cannot explain how grateful we were to find her for our boy! We typically use a kennel but they were all booked up for the weekend we were going out of town. We have never used Rover, but because of Ashton we will definitely be using the service again! She was extremely responsive and gave us plenty of updates that included pictures! We will continue to try and book with her in the future! Thanks Ashton!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,406 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Yorktown. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Yorktown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Yorktown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
