“Phyllis was a wonderful and attentive pet sitter for my cat during a recent trip. She is easy to work with, provided lots of updates and photos, and my cat loved her. I would hire or recommend Phyllis to others in a heart beat. Knowing that she was watching my cat made enjoying my vacation much easier. Thank you again Phyllis!”

“Melanie was absolutely awesome. She was so helpful with all of my needs, and she had no problem at all helping me out with extra issues that came up! She was very responsive and asked great questions, and she did an amazing job engaging with my cats and playing with / taking care of them. I felt at ease knowing she was there to take care of them, and I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Though I have experience caring for dogs, my real passion is with cats. I've been volunteering with cats for over 4 years now and adore each cat that I come across. Litterboxes don't scare me and I understand that some cats need a while to warm up to a new face. I'd love to care for your kitties. I currently work from home, so after hours I love to get out of the house. It's the perfect time to come see your furbabies! I can spend evenings and weekends with your furbabies! Or for extended periods of housesitting, if there is adequate wifi and space, I can work from your place if you prefer someone be there around the clock. I don't mind doing other small tasks around the house while I'm there.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was about 14 for family and neighbors around. Growing up i’ve had dogs from pit bulls, german shepherds to chihuahuas, so i’m familiar and comfortable with all kinds! As a full-time online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. Since I complete my classes online, I can easily plan my day around pets needs. I am responsible, organized, and able to provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, keep their environment clean, and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I also follow the owner’s instructions carefully and provide updates so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I have my own large senior dog, grew up with at least 2 dogs in my home, and love cats. I often sit for my friends cats and love to have a walking buddy with taking dogs, esp now that my old boy has slowed down. As a teacher I have a schedule based on school and in the summer my 5 year old would sometimes be tagging along with me. I can go before school and after and in the summer months have much more flexibility I am a public school teacher and a toddler and dog mom of my own. I love to be active and go on walks and love to give animals attention and love like they all deserve!

“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!”

About: I have always had a love for animals since a small child. My exposure and interest for neighborhood animals and pets brought on opportunities for pet sitting in my community growing up. This love grew into a passion/career as I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for 10 years and received my bachelors in Agriculture at Virginia State University in 2020. My schedule is currently flexible until October 19, 2026 allowing me plenty of time to tend to your pet(s) in need! After September, I will be available Monday-Thursday 6pm to 9pm and Friday- Sunday 9am to 10p. I have my own fur baby by the name of Sebastian. He is a 6 year old Yorkshire Terrier who loves to socialize with people and pets. We currently live in a suburban neighborhood that will make you feel safe to leave your fur babies in my hands.

About: I provide my services exclusively to cat owners. While I find dogs delightful, I have not had any of my own and therefore I'm not comfortable pet-sitting dogs. I have plenty of flexibility at the moment! That being said, I'm not available during the following times for most of September and October: - Mon & Wed: 6pm - 9:30pm - Sat: 9am - 2pm I'm respectful of my client's home and pets. I always double check that all doors and windows are locked before leaving, a habit I picked up from having my own pets. I'm also keen on learning pets' personalities and play styles to ensure their comfort. For example, a skittish cat would hide from me, but may still enjoy my presence from a distance. These are just a few details that I would ask the owner before engaging in pet-sitting.

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!!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Afton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Afton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 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 403 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Afton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Afton. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.

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.
