“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!”
“Pamela was wonderful with our pets! She took great care of them and made sure everything they needed was taken care of while we were away. She sent us detailed updates after each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she spent time with them and gave them plenty of attention and affection. We came home to happy, well cared for pets and would absolutely book with Pamela again.Highly recommend her!”
“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’💜💜”
“Amanda was amazing! She spent time with our girls and was communicative and prompt. She was flexible and helped us modify our booking when we had to cut our trip short due to illness. We absolutely would book again with Amanda for future needs!”
About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
“Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.”
“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Mandi was an answer to a prayer, one which I am very grateful!! Right from the start ahe opened her home up to Sara as if she was returning for her 2nd, or even 3rd visit. I appreciate the daily pictures I received showing Sara's adjustment to her home away from home. Mandi, thank you so much and I look forward to the next time that Sara can come for a visit!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,687 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 .
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 .
