About: I currently have two well loved pups, both on daily medication. I believe every pup deserves love, regardless of behavior or perceived aggression. I have experience with heartworm positive dogs as well as dogs who experience seizures. I am a current college student living at home with my family so I am available with lots of free time for your furry friend! I will occasionally have my partner over for meals or to just hang out if I am house sitting, depending on the distance and length of the booking. I believe that keeping an animal clean and safe is the best way to ensure health, as well as making sure the animal is comfortable with me. If I am watching someone who is shy, I am more than happy to give them their space (while ensuring they are safe).

About: As an animal lover, I’m passionate about helping families provide their fur babies with everything they need! I have extensive experience in animal care. During high school and college, I provided dog-sitting services for family and friends. I also worked at a boarding facility, caring for a variety of dogs and cats. Additionally, I spent over eight years working at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with animal behavior, medical needs, and general care. I’ve attended multiple training sessions to enhance my knowledge, particularly in addressing behavioral challenges and specialized care. I’ve worked with animals of all temperaments, including dogs with stranger or dog-related reactivity, as well as those curious hounds who love to stop and sniff everything! I’m confident handling strong breeds, as well as senior pets that may need extra assistance. I’m also comfortable administering medications and working with dogs and cats with behavioral or medical issues. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize providing consistent, quality care to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and well taken care of. walks or playtime, I maintain their pet’s established routines as much as possible to minimize stress. I follow feeding schedules, exercise plans, and any specific instructions provided. I keep the space clean, respect the home, and ensure the pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. Communication is also key—I keep clients updated with pictures or messages so they can feel at ease while I care for their beloved pet.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats of all ages since the age of nine. My son is 13 and a very big cat lover! He will not be assisting with pet care, but does reside in the home. We have two cats Everest(8) and Harley(5), and one dog Layla(1). Our home features two large automatic litter boxes, one 5ft scratching post with other small ones throughout the home, enrichment toys, beds, pet blankets, and two filtered water fountains available 24 hours a day. Both cats are on feeding schedules, so your baby will also need to be on a schedule- we can discuss what times work best for your pet! Layla is crate trained and does not free roam without supervision. We also have a spare bedroom for pets that need some time to adjust or need more space away from all the uncertainties of a new home. We will treat your baby like our own and accommodate, so they can feel at ease! *Currently taking the month of September off from my primary job, so will be entirely available for bookings through Rover. I work 4-5 days a week, 5-6 hour days. My schedule can be altered as needed because my pets are just as important as any other family member. My pets are very well cared for and prioritized just as any living being should be. They are treated with kindness and care with regular checkups and special care catered to their individual personalities.

“Whitney did a wonderful job caring for Cher, my 17-year-old cat, while I was out of town. My cat is very shy and nervous around people she does not know, but Cher felt comfortable enough around Whitney to let her pet her and play with her. That was a big win! I will definitely be calling on Whitney in the future!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals, specifically family pets, since I was a young girl! I currently have a kitten of my own named Astra. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. My patience runs deep with shy or nervous pets. However, I do thoroughly enjoy playing with both cats and dogs! If they need to cuddle, go on walks, or just need a little attention, count me in! My experience as a teacher makes me responsible, dependable, and very attentive to routines and instructions. With me, I hope you can feel confident that your pet will be genuinely cared for while you’re away! I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I can also accommodate some weekday evenings depending on the location and my work schedule. On weekends, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, litter boxes, routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet has a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Whitney was an excellent house and kitty sitter. We were gone for over three weeks (and Whitney watched our home and cats for two weeks of that time). She gave daily updates with pictures, quickly responded to messages, showed up on time, and was very professional. Our home and our kitties were in great shape when we returned. We would book Whitney again in a heartbeat.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life, with experience caring for all kinds of pets—from cats and dogs to turtles, reptiles, and everything in between! I’ve worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from the smallest and youngest pets to large, energetic, and more challenging animals. I’m currently a proud pet parent to two German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large, active dogs and understand the importance of exercise, structure, patience, and plenty of love. I also have experience safely handling reptiles and am comfortable administering medications to animals when needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full-time as a pet sitter, which means I have flexible availability throughout the day. I’m available during daylight hours to stop in and care for your companion, whether they need a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, a walk, or simply some company while you’re away. I have two energetic German Shepherds of my own, so I’m very comfortable around big, active dogs and understand how important it is to keep pets happy, engaged, and comfortable. I’m able to quickly create a fun and welcoming environment while adapting to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level.

About: I’ve had pets in my house all my life, I currently have 4 pets that I live with ( 2 dogs and 2 cats ). I frequently watch my family’s animals as well, I am great with animals and welcome all kinds of animals! I’m currently looking around for jobs as my last job ended because summer is now over but any job I get in the near future will be a serving job as I am in school and need something flexible! Shifts are typically very short and I have a strict availability with my jobs! I usually feed my dogs and cats when I wake up in the morning and I let my dogs out often through out the day for then to use the bathroom and to play with the frisbee. I’m good with remembering to let them outside and making sure they have water. I also love cuddling with the animals! I also feed my cats every morning and night & make sure they constantly have water as well as zoomies time, they love the jingle ball!

I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Albemarle Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Albemarle Acres is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 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 October 2026, there are 1,084 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Albemarle Acres. 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 .

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 , 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 .

  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
