“Tereza is amazing! She was so sweet with Ashtro and knew exactly how to take care of him. You can tell she is really good with cats! Ashtro was in great care when we were gone:)”
“Riley is extremely patient and calm with Athena. He gave her as much time as she needed to get comfortable with him as she can be very skittish and afraid of men. Very responsive and helpful as well.”
“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!”
“Bridget was awesome! She arrived on time and followed my care instructions for Louna. I know Bridget took good care of Louna because Louna loved her! I would definitely recommend & I look forward to booking with Bridget again!”
“Ziana is awesome! She took great care of my cats and my house while I was away for a few days. My shy cat warmed up to her quickly and she was patient and playful with my more energetic cat. She adhered to the daily routine my cats are used to and gave them the attention each requires. She is responsive and communicates clearly. Ziana was respectful of my home and my time. I will absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet or house sitter.”
“My dog is my BABY, so I am very picky with who I leave him with. I could not recommend Ariana more! She did AMAZING with my dog. She did drop in visits twice a day for 4 days while I was out of town. She walked him, feed him, took him on two walks a day and played fetch! She was so sweet to my dog and I could tell he was very comfortable with her. I got multiple pictures during each visit and a report cards of potty breaks/eating and drinking! Ariana took away the stress of being away from my boy. I have a Cat as well who is pretty self sufficient and has an automatic food dispenser so I told her she didn’t have to worry about taking care of him too; but she still gave him love and sent me pictures so I knew he was doing good! She watched my dog over the 4th of July weekend; I was worried about him being scared of the fireworks.. and she made a courtesy check in !!!!!!!!! She went out of her way (something I didn’t pay her for) just to make sure my dog felt safe and comfortable during the fireworks; which put me at ease. On the last day of her watching my dog, she had already made her stop for the day; I later noticed the AC at my house got shut off, she made another courtesy stop just to turn my AC back on so my dog didn’t get too hot!!! Her service is exceptional and I with DEFINITELY be booking with her in the future when I go out of town! Thank you SO much Ariana, I truly appreciate how sweet and amazing you were to my babies! Thank you for taking such great care of them and making both them and me feel so comfortable!!!!”

“Mckenzie is a perfect sitter for my senior kitty. She takes great care of her needs, plays with her, gives her lots of love and scratches, and takes great pictures. She alerts me if anything seems amiss or that I might been concerned about. When I'm away, I have piece of mind knowing my beloved pet is being attended to by Mckenzie.”

“Jeri did a great job letting out my dog while I worked a longer shift. She updated me throughout the visit and sent pictures of my animals after! She followed all directions well and was very happy to learn all his quirks at the meet and greet.”
“I think booking Linda to sit our 11month kitten was the best decision I've ever made in my life. She went above what I could imagine. She was attentive, detail oriented, and an excellent communicator. I think our cat was actually sad when she left because he got to play with her more than he does us ?. Thanks so much Linda! You made this whole trip stress free because we know Matteo was in good hands.”

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.

I have pet sit in my neighbors and friends houses all my life. Whatever is needed of me I can workout with owners to make them as comfortable as possible. Pets are incredibly important to all of us so making owners and pets comfortable is the top priority.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
Sabrina and Jason were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and Sabrina made sure I was at ease and updated the whole time! She took lots of adorable pictures and let me know each time he was fed, used the litter box, and his water fountain had enough water. She even reached out to me to ask where the treats were when Simon did not want to eat his food. I highly recommend Sabrina and will definitely be using her and Jason the next time I have to be away from my little void Simon
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Arlington is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,027 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Arlington. 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.

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.
