“Ni is a fantastic sitter. We trusted her right away, and she cared for our cat, Shadow, so well! Ni was incredibly communicative, diligent in asking the right questions before our trip, detailed in her visit reports, and she sent several photos from each visit - more than any other sitter we’d booked. Most importantly, our boy was happy and comfortable while we were away. I highly recommend Ni for cat sitting services!”
“Patricha was great to work with and wonderful with my cats, finding ways to interact with them each day. She was easy to communicate with, very knowledgeable, and obviously an animal lover. Would definitely work with her again!”
“We had to request a last minute sitter for our cats and Zosha was immediately responsive. He was such an amazing sitter for my two kitties! He definitely made me feel like they were in safe hands the whole time and made it very easy to enjoy my trip away without any anxiety. We got pics and updates every single visit. One of my cats required eye ointment twice a day and Zosha did such a great job despite how squirmy my one cat can be. Cannot thank him enough and will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”
“To be able to say that I do not worry about my cats while I’m away is the highest praise that I can give a Cat Sitter. Samantha gives me so much peace of mind.”
“Lina is an outstanding pet sitter. I was nervous to find a new sitter when we moved to the area due to having several pets with behavioral and/or medical needs, but Lina is extremely skilled at what she does. My nervous and reactive dog warmed up to her so quickly during our meet and greet, and my usually shy kitties came to greet her every visit. Lina has such a warm and welcoming energy. She leaves such thorough reports, along with sweet pictures of all my pets after each visit. She even noted a medical concern that I had forgotten to previously mention. She is so attentive, and I’m grateful to have her care for my pets.”
“Katrina was awesome! She left me great messages and photos. Even though my cat was so skittish, he never really came out for her, she's still trying to get a picture of him every time so I could see him.. She cleaned up everything when he decided he was going to make a mess. I would highly recommend her and I will use her again.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats!

I will take care of your fur baby(ies) as if they were my own! I am home full-time so I will be able to give all my attention to your fur baby(ies)! I can and will follow your instructions and recommendations. 🐶 I am available to take your dog(s) on walks and hikes, and/or the occasional bike ride. Play fetch in the fenced yard or tug of war indoors on bad weather days. My priority is to provide a home-away-from-home space following your routine as close as possible. And lots of affection if needed! 🐱 By default, my visits will include feeding, replenishing water, discarding litter, and playing and/or spending time with your cat(s). I let cat(s) come to me, sniff my scent, and trust me without invading their boundaries.
“Abigail was great with our two kitties, and they absolutely loved her! She was very communicative, friendly, and kept us updated on every drop-in. I would very much recommend her for a catsitter!”
“Elena was wonderful and took good care of my two boys. I got routine check-ins from her each time she came by and spent good quality time with them. She saved my skin before I was due to be on holiday for 2 weeks in Europe. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly book her again to stay with my dogs.”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, and exotic animals, then helped take care of 4 dogs and a rabbit, and now my fiancé and I have cats, pigs, chinchillas, and turtles. I am currently working 8-5, and pet sitting afternoons and weekends. I have a long commute and stay closer to work to avoid rush hour so I have plenty of time to spend pampering pets! I am currently offering pet sitting in clients homes. I will come feed your cats and make sure they have clean water (and/or that their fountain is working), clean liter as needed, and will play with (string, laser pointer) kittens or be a calming presence to socially sit with your senior and adult cats. For the more fearful babies I follow their lead/comfort level.
About: Extremely playful and engaging, great time to set the phone aside and play with natures best creation. While placed in my care it will be my only priority to provide the best for them and keep them safe at all times. They will be taken care of as kids, full attention will be on them. I no longer have dogs of my own because of certain circumstances, but I used to have two, your dogs will be taken care as if they were my own. Having the ability to do this will allow me to reconnect with the most precious animals on earth after some time. I can’t wait to meet all these precious pups and have an amazing journey with them thank you lots. I only work part time and have plenty of time in my schedule to go out and care for your pets and provide them with great quality care. I follow all rules and guidelines provided by the owner! Whether there’s a specific leash or harness that needs to be worn or a certain area of the house or yard we have to keep out of
About: I've cared for friends' fur babies throughout my teen and adult years. I also grew up with dogs. I was tasked with walking, feeding, and watering our black Labrador, Blackjack, until he passed back in November 2012. I know every dog needs at least two walks. I want work-life balance, so I am available on weekdays afternoons and evenings, plus weekends, as long as it's scheduled at least three days before. While in my client's home, I'll send daily photos and videos of their fur babies so they don't need to worry or miss their dogs. I'll also be sure to leave the home almost exactly as I found it.
“Olena has been helping me out more this summer. Kitties know her and seem calm and happy when I get home. My guy has a sensitive stomach so I appreciate all the extra steps she takes with him. I definitely recommend her.”

I have been pet sitting since I was a child, love animals and have dedicated my life to helping them. I know what it is like to have to leave your fur baby behind while you travel and the stress of having to take them to a boarding facility. I offer my services to bring peace of mind that your baby is being given the highest level of care whilst you are away. I am available to care for pets full time. I can take them out as early as 7AM and let them out as late as midnight; My neighborhood is very safe. I can take puppies out as often as needed. In my home: We will go on a minimum of 4 walks a day and have a minimum of 3 play sessions with toys if desired. I am happy to have pets in the bed, they can be on the furniture as well and they are free to roam. In your home I will abide by whatever routine your pet already has established.
“Annaugh was an awesome sitter! She checked on my cats even on Christmas and had to deal with some silly cats knocking things over and she even found my carpet cleaner to pick up some cat vomit. She was very communicative and sent me photos. Highly recommend!”
“Reagan was an excellent and caring sitter who paid great attention to Dutchess and made sure she was comfortable with a stranger in the house. Will absolutely look to book her again!”
“Kelly did great stopping in and watching my cat for the week I was at the beach. This was the first time I had someone watch my cat since he went on his meds and since his brother passed away, but Kelly did a great job administering his medicine and I loved the updates showing all the hugs and playtimes my cat was receiving while I was away! Thanks Kelly!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Annandale
Amelia is awesome!!!! Was our first time trying this service and she instantly put us at ease. Kind, caring, and obviously passionate about taking good care of our furry family members. When she stopped by for a meet & greet, they (my 2 enthusiastic big dogs and one nonchalant cat) immediately sensed she was there to engage and play with them and I knew all would be well, and it was!! Already planning her next visit, she’s at the top of our list. (“We love you Amelia!!” - your new best buddies, Kiara, Dakota, and Hunter)
Patricha did a great job taking care of my cats. She took time and effort to gain their confidence and play with them. She was reliable and timely with her visits and great about following directions for feeding, etc. She went above and beyond to leave things neat and clean. She was great about communicating, and that freed me from worrying. When I came home, I found my cats relaxed and happy. Very grateful, and would hire her again (and hopefully will).

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Annandale is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit.

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 .

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.
