About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve spent the last 15 years taking care of friends, neighbors and clients pets. The last 6 years I’ve rescued and been a foster mom for local dog rescue. Very comfortable working with dogs, seniors and puppies as they adjust to new people, surroundings and experiences. I’m currently working part time and home during the day so your loved ones getting plenty of attention! I can offer pick up/drop off for boarding if needed. I am mindful of your space and routine with your loved ones and will treat your home with respect. If boarding, I have dog friendly home with plenty of couches, pet beds and decks to lounge on. I have huge yard so can spend plenty of outdoor time if they want. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent's instructions regarding feeding, walking routes, routines, and any special needs. Before every walk, I make sure the leash, collar, or harness is properly secured, and I remain alert to traffic, weather conditions, other animals, and anything that could make the pet uncomfortable. During drop-in visits, I respect the client's home and privacy. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are securely closed, and I never leave a pet outside unattended. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment while giving each pet personalized attention. I will also send photos and detailed updates so pet parents know their pet is safe and well cared for. Requested information about your pet Before caring for your pet, I would like to learn about their personality, daily routine, energy level, and any special needs. Please let me know about any medical conditions, allergies, medications, fears, triggers, or behavioral

“I was seeking reputable drop-in service for my cats on the internet and came across the Rover.com website, which was extremely easy to use, offering 5 star services. That's when I reached out to Allie. Upon meeting her, I liked her from the first moment. She was both professional and personable, and my discernment was that she would be completely trustworthy. It was evident from the start that she is a "natural" with kitty cats. My husband and I were completely at ease with having Allie drop-in on our "fur babies", allowing us to enjoy our family vacation. We truly appreciated all the updates she gave us on our pets, including the photos and videos. She went above and beyond to ensure all of our kitties' needs were met. I most definitely will call on Addie again when we have to be out of town.”

“Pamela did a great job taking care of my cat, WiFi. She was responsive, reliable, and sent me really detailed updates while I was away. WiFi is pretty shy with new people, and I gave Pamela a few suggestions for trying to make friends with him. She was happy to humor me and actually managed to win him over by the end of the stay. He was coming out to see her, accepting pets, and generally getting much more comfortable around her. She had no problems giving him his medication or taking care of everything else he needed, and I came home to everything in good shape. She even put up with the less-than-ideal guest parking situation at my building with grace. I’d absolutely book Pamela again and would especially recommend her to anyone with a shy or cautious cat. WiFi can be a tough customer, so the fact that she got him to warm up to her says a lot.”

About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.

About: I grew up with all kinds of pets (some you wouldn’t believe) so there’s nothing surprising for me. I’ve been petsitting for my coworkers when they’ve gone out of town for the past few years now and I’ve enjoyed it every time. I’ve honestly never met a pet that hasn’t liked me immediately or come around to liking me after a short amount of time. I absolutely love animals and will treat your pet as my own!! I’m currently in the military so I will be able to check on your pet in the mornings, during lunchtime, and in the afternoons. If something urgent with your pet comes up it is also very easy for me to get out work to get them the care they need. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, as I live in the barracks :( but I will visit your pet WHENEVER needed, especially at night.

“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’💜💜”

“Ms. Christina has a genuine love of animals. We had a meet and greet before we agreed to leave the cats, which showed me someone serious about the care of the pets left in her care. I had no qualms about leaving my babies with her and would rebook her services.”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Arkendale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 2,694 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 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 Arkendale. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
