Caroline was a great sitter! She took great care of our dog while we were at our wedding. She gave us peace of mind about our pup when we had a million other things going on! We would certainly use her services again.

About: Responsible and reliable pet owner who will treat your pets like my own! I have two high energy pups who love to meet new friends and play in the yard. I’m also available for walks and enrichment activities during drop in visits. My schedule is varied but I I’m available up to five days a week and can accept last minute bookings! I know how stressful it is to find reliable, safe pet care and my flexible schedule allows me to be there to help others. Our dogs are all crate trained and have access to lots of in home enrichment opportunities. I have a large unfenced yard for overnight boarding, and have two very friendly female dogs who enjoy meeting new friends. I’m available for walks and drop in visits.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and worked for a dog walking service in Charlottesville for a few years. I’ve worked with animals for about 7 years, I had four of my own dogs growing up and loved being around dogs. I love seeing all the cute pups out there. Happy to help with any needs; walking,sitting and drop ins! I’m currently a stay at home mom just looking for some extra outside/walking time. I love working with animals and seeing all my favorite dogs everyday! I’ve had experience dog sitting, can provide references. I love to meet before hand and get to know all of your dogs needs and how to properly care for them in the best way possible while your gone.

About: I've had a dog since I was ten, and today three cats and a dog share my home right alongside me. Living with four animals under one roof means I know their routines, their moods, and their quirks by heart, and I understand exactly how much it matters to trust the right person with something that personal. That same instinct shows up in how I work. I'm a checklist person by nature: feeding times, routines, and quirks followed exactly as given, and you'll get daily photos and videos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I'm a college student with mostly online classes, so my schedule bends around your pet instead of the other way around. I'm free for house sitting stays and drop-in visits any day of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I confirm bookings a few days ahead so you know I'm locked in well before you leave. No shift to clock into, no class to rush home for, just consistent, dependable time for whatever your pet actually needs. I offer house sitting and drop-in visits, which means your pet never has to leave home, no new house, no new animals, nothing unfamiliar on top of you already being away. I stick to their existing feeding, walk, and routine schedule exactly as you've set it, and keep the house locked up and lived-in while you're gone. I come to your pet's world instead of asking your pet to adjust to mine, giving them my full, undivided attention until you're back.

About: Some things that make my care stand out! 📸 Daily Updates: I provide daily photos, videos, and notes so you always know how your cat is doing. 🧼 Clean & Respectful: I’m tidy, respectful of your home, and always leave things the way I found them — or better. 💗 Patience & Trust: I take the time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious cats, never rushing interactions. Above all, I treat every cat like they’re my own — with love, patience, and attention to detail. Your cat’s comfort and happiness are my top priority. Pet care is a central part of my daily life — not just a side job, but something I genuinely love and prioritize. I structure my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, making sure I’m available when it matters most — especially during feeding times, medication schedules, or early/late visits. I treat every visit as a chance to bond, observe behavior, and make sure each cat is healthy, happy, and comfortable — whether it’s a quick check-in or just a little more time spending time with your pet to make them happy and have a little bit of company while you're away! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is maintaining a calm, familiar, and stress-free environment. I follow your pet's routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to preferred hiding spots — because consistency helps pets feel secure while you're away.

Dakota met us and our GS before we left town. We were very pleased and comfortable leaving our pet under his care. He didn't just drop in to feed and walk him, he also played with him. We will never use boarding. We will differently use Dakota again when needed.

About: Your dog will be on vacation and will enjoy long walks, play time and relaxation while in my care. I can text daily pictures (if requested) and give your dog a bath before the end of their stay. I love taking care of dogs and know they will enjoy staying at my house with me. I've have been pet sitting since the 7th grade and have been the go to pet sitter for friends and family. I also watched bunnies, dogs, cats, fish, birds, hamsters and guinea pig just to name a few. I was a volunteer at the Fairfax county animal shelter for 8 months and have also worked at Petsmart. I love pets and can't wait to watch your pet. I work full time but have a flexible schedule to adjust to the times needed for dog walking/sitting to ensure they are taken care of. I also don't work on the weekend. I am available for house sitting too. I have a small fenced in yard but dogs will be going on walks with me and always in the home where they can be cozy and comfortable. If your dog love the beach let me know and they can join me on my morning walks.

Megan was great! We set up a meet and greet before we left town so she wasn’t a complete stranger to my cats and they returned the favor by showing up to the food bowls every night she came by to feed them dinner! When we returned home, the cats seemed happy, the litter boxes were clean and the water bowls were full.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Amicus on Rover is $21.4 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 451 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Amicus. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
