“Somaya is great! One of my doggos threw up and she was very responsive, gave great detail, and cleaned it up. Doggos is fine and she also followed up later in the night to confirm he was still okay. Def recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Becca, a veterinary assistant with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and medical needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, providing personalized care so your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their own home while you’re away. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, medication administration (when needed), and plenty of love and attention. Every pet has a unique personality, so I tailor my care to match their routine and individual needs. My experience working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for healthy pets as well as seniors, puppies and kittens, anxious pets, and those requiring medications or special care. I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and know when something may require prompt veterinary attention. I’ve also cared for multiple-pet households and understand the importance of keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule. I do my best to work around my classes and am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Whether you need occasional care or a consistent sitter, I’ll do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn about their personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before every booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos throughout each visit to give you peace of mind. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide reliable, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs whenever possible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule and preferences. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and litter box or potty routines to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. As a veterinary assistant, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior or health and can provide medications if needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while giving them plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection based on their personality. I’ll also respect your home as if it were my own, keeping everything clean and secure while providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Let me start this off by saying my animals are my babies and they are my world! From the moment this young lady walked into my home. I knew they would be in good hands! I have a house full. On this visit, Peyton was taking care of four cats and one very rambunctious dog. She handled it like a champ and my dog and my cats still look for her after her visit. I needed she was there, anything I needed to change Without batting and I she did it. She’s very warm, very loving and very responsible! My fur babies loved her! If you’re looking for someone That you can leave with your babies and not look back knowing that they are very well taken care of then definitely Peyton is your gal! We we’re gone for an extended period of time and I have never left my dog ever. Actually I don’t think she even noticed I was gone lol. We love Peyton and would love to put her in one of our suitcases and take her to Florida with us! Thank you sweetheart for doing an amazing job and I know five little fur babies that are going to miss you very much! We will Definitely spread the word and you will be our go to Gal When and if we ever come back to Virginia’💜💜”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had experience with animals since I was growing up. I had a dog, a rabbit, and birds, and I currently have a cat that I love and care for. My aunt and uncle also have a small farm with lots of roosters, so I often help them take care of the animals, raise them, and spend time playing with them. Caring for animals is more than just a responsibility to me; it is something I genuinely enjoy and have a passion for. I’m always willing to make time in my day to give animals the love, attention, and care they need. I always make an animal’s safety and well-being my top priority. I stay attentive to their needs and surroundings at all times, creating a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through spending time with my girlfriend’s cat, Boba, and helping her take care of her. I also regularly help care for my brother’s three dogs by taking them outside to use the bathroom, giving them time to play, and occasionally taking them on walks. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are cared for. I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and responsible when looking after someone’s pets, and I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give to the animals in my own life. I am currently serving on active duty in the Marine Corps and stationed in Virginia. I am typically available on weekdays after 5 PM and have more flexibility on weekends. I will communicate clearly with pet parents to coordinate schedules and make sure their pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I prioritize making sure the pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience helping care for my girlfriend’s cat, Boba, and my brother’s three dogs. I will follow each pet parent’s instructions, pay attention to their pet’s needs, and provide regular updates. Whether we are going for walks, playing outside, or spending time together.

“Booked for once daily house visits to check in on my cat- Bianca made booking and communication very easy. It’s clear she and Nicholas are very professional and experienced. She followed all of my instructions, provided detailed updates, and photos of my car while I was away. When I returned home my cat was very comfortable and content. As a pet owner and an experienced veterinary technician I would recommend this duo to watch after your pets.”

About: i've taken care of animals of all kinds my whole life from personal experience to holding jobs at doggy specific businesses! i've done it all from daycare/boarding to all natural and holistic feeding and care :) i currently work throughout the week/weekend but i'm very flexible on my days off as well as i could definitely take a walk or two after my work day is over, usually around 4pm or sooner :) i currently live out in the woods on a little bit of land with my fiancee and our 3 pups! they absolutely love their outside time but of course safety is of the most importance so our pups have been extensively trained off leash to avoid any wild life, potential dangers, and just to have amazing recall. i definitely understand though that this isn't the case for all pups and that's totally okay so when coming to care for your pup i'd take the most precaution to ensure everyone stays happy, healthy, and playing!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Arkendale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 810 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Arkendale. 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 Arkendale. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.
