“Ann was absolutely great. We just moved to our new address a couple months ago. We have two fur babies (cats Bela and Macie) and decided to not board them while we were overseas for 12 days. We thought it might be better to have a pet sitter visit them twice a day to feed and provide care for them. That enabled them to stay in their own environment which would be less traumatic. We received daily updates and photos. From the photos it appears they bonded with Ann in a very short time. We would highly recommend Ann for watching your pets. She is marvelous.”
“My 1st booking with Maria - what a pro! Everything went so smoothly, pictures received regularly and incredibly responsive to messages. I have one cat and he was well looked after and absolutely fine after being on his own 9 days. Whew! Very reasonably priced, would definitely book again! Really - be confident in working with Maria, you'll be happy you did!”
“Jessica came to care of our 3 kitties twice a day while we were on vacation, and we felt so much better knowing they were well taken care of. Communication was great, and we looked forward to seeing our daily pictures! Thanks again, Jessica!”
About: Growing up with animals, these furry friends have always had a special place in my heart! I have experience taking care of puppies, kittens, small dogs, big dogs, and senior cats/dogs. I always make sure that pets feel comfortable, get their exercise, and most importantly, have fun and feel loved! I am currently working part-time and receive my schedule 3 weeks in advance, so planning around my job is a piece of cake! I am always off work Mondays and typically only work 3-4 days a week, leaving plenty of spare time for your pets! I always make sure a pet feels safe with me, matching their energy and ensuring a patient approach if they're a little skiddish! I provide constant attention and care, monitoring their food/water and bathroom needs.

I am a full time online student so I have a very flexible schedule in regard to taking care of your pet! I usually wake up around 7 in the morning and take a morning walk with my dog. She gets lots of attention inside and outside and I would do the same for your pet. I have a dog park right behind us so I always take them to the park and there is River Legacy park right by me so I also go on lots of walks.
“Mckenzie was great! She took amazing care of our kitties and they loved her. She gave us super detailed descriptions of how they were doing! Highly recommend!”
“Jesse did a fabulous job! I returned home to some very happy, well cared-for dogs. Jesse was very communicative and consistent with drop-ins. Couldn't ask for better.”

About: I've been helping my family to care for our animals since I was 8— and I had a cat of my own for 13 years, so I know what steady, attentive care looks like over the long haul. I've pet sat kittens and puppies for friends, handling feeding and medication schedules while owners were away. I've also given regular diabetes medication to a friend's cat, so I'm confident administering medication reliably and on schedule. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm available after 3:30pm Tuesday through Friday, and completely free all day Saturday through Monday. This makes me a great fit for house sitting, whether it's a quick weekday check-in or a full weekend stay where I can be there around the clock. Since I only offer house sitting, I care for pets entirely in their own home, keeping their routine and environment as consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions closely for feeding, medication, and exercise schedules, and I'm comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, making sure doors and gates stay secured and pets are never left unsupervised for long stretches.
About: I have my own dog and she’s been with us for 11 years now. I love getting to spoil her and show her how much I love her. I have also pet sat for my neighbors, family members, and friends. there’s nothing I love more than this world and animals and I love getting to take care of them. I’m currently working a part-time job. My hours stay pretty consistent but if you have specific times for drop ins definitely let me know and I can work around that. Other than work I’m not in school at the moment so have a bit more free time for frequent drop ins Depending on where I’m asked to be in my own house I have a nice yard that your animals can play in in a very sturdy fence. If it’s at your house, I love to take animals outside for a little while so they can spend some time getting fresh air and just getting to run around. I love playing fetch or tug-of-war and I love giving pets.
About: I have over two years of hands-on pet-sitting experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I also have professional experience working at a dog boarding and lodging facility, where I provided daily care, supervised play, maintained clean and safe spaces, and made sure every pet received patience, attention, and individualized care. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own! My schedule is pretty open and flexible, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet-sitting needs! I’m happy to work with different schedules and do my best to be available when you need someone you can count on. Whether you need regular visits, occasional care, or help while you’re away, I’m flexible and willing to work arou When caring for your pets in their home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
Twelve out of 5 stars! Shelly dropped in twice daily to feed and love on my free roam rabbit. She really loved Shelly as she followed her around the house which can be pretty rare with new comers. 110% will be using Shelly every chance I can moving forward. She even confirmed that I made it back to town and didn’t need a last second emergency popover.
Wonderful experience! We just returned from a week out of town for our daughters wedding . We have never left our younger adopted cat before and refused to board him and make him think we "returned him" . We also have a needy old Persian with a bad attitude. Every one we know will be at the wedding too. What to do? Paris was the perfect answer for both our boys. She was easy to reach and sent pictures with each visit. They barely noticed we were gone (ouch!) :). Highly recommend Paris and Rover!
From the first meeting I knew it was going to work out. My cats took to Sabrina almost immediately. It was very nice to know that Sabrina was experienced with cats and it showed. Excellent updates the entire span of visits and the great peace of mind to have someone trustworthy taking care of my wonderful boys!
Kyra is absolutely wonderful! We always feel completely comfortable leaving our pets in her care. She’s dependable, communicative, and takes such great care of them while we’re away. It’s such a relief knowing they’re with someone we trust. We’re always happy to have Kyra watch them and would definitely recommend her!
Corrina was awesome with my two cats! She played with my friendly, overly brave boy and won over my shy (okay, scared) girl. She adhered to my recommendations for care and schedules and asked applicable follow-up questions as needed. It was reassuring to have my pets in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Corrina to anyone and rebook whenever our schedules align.
Kelsey was absolutely amazing taking care of our two cats, Absinthe and Lucius. This was our first time leaving them with a sitter (and they’re still very new and a bit shy), so I was pretty anxious going into it but Kelsey completely put my mind at ease. She was incredibly communicative, sent detailed updates and photos every visit, and really took the time to understand their personalities. Absinthe warmed up to her so quickly and was even accepting pets and treats, which says a lot! Lucius is much more shy, but she was patient and respectful of his space while still keeping an eye on him. She also handled little things like a knocked-over feeder and a litter box accident without any issue and kept us informed the whole time, which I really appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats and their comfort, and I felt so much better knowing they were in such good hands. I would 100% book with Kelsey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Arlington is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 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 .

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.
