“Amanda was incredible!!! We completely forgot to send over the pet care instructions and were unable to communicate due to not having service and she still did literally every single thing that we told her about at the meet and greet. She was kind and attentive and the animals all loved her!”
“Samantha took such good care of my babies while I was away on a trip. She is playful, caring, and truly attentive. She sent us pictures every day and communicated everything in great detail. When one of my dogs started showing signs of ear irritation, she noticed it right away and acted quickly her judgment made us feel completely at ease. We have three dogs, and she did an amazing job with all of them. Highly recommend her!”
“Guiselle was great! Very communicative and attentive to the needs of my kitty. My cat is pretty skittish with strangers but seemed to warm up to Guiselle which is high praise.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat received from Fernanda! It was clear from the updates that she wasn’t just stopping by to check in—she genuinely spent quality time with her. Fernanda played with her, brushed her, and gave her plenty of attention, which made such a difference while we were away. Our cat looked relaxed, happy, and completely at ease, and that gave us so much peace of mind. It’s obvious Fernanda truly cares about the pets she looks after, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable, and caring pet sitter.”
“Tara was so sweet and took excellent care of my girl! Penny is a little nervous with new people coming in so it was so wonderful that Tara took the time to warm her up to the idea, first time customer but not last!”
“Cindy was great with Zoey! She’s very communicative, sent updates and photos throughout their visit. I highly recommended using Cindy’s services, I know I’ll be a repeat customer the next time I head out of town!”

“Aly was so great with our girls! They warmed right with her. She followed all their care instructions and sent adorable photos daily. Can’t wait to book her for our next trip.”
“Megan is our go-to sitter for dropping in on our cat Ivy. She is very attentive with Ivy and often stays longer than she is booked for. Ivy does not like many people and she loves Megan. We travel a lot and it gives us peace of mind when Megan is dropping in—she shares lots of pictures and detailed descriptions every day. Thank you Megan!”
“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”
“Paul took great care of our two cats while we were away. He asked good questions, made sure he knew everything he needed to, was very courteous, and made sure we got regular updates. We felt completely at ease and confident that our cats were well taken care of. I would recommend Paul to any potential clients.”
“There is no bigger relief than when you know your fur babies are being well-taken care of while you are away. Isabelle and Diego went above and beyond to provide detailed descriptions of each visit with lots of photos which was always so fun to see! They were so professional from our first meet and greet to the last visit. Thank you so much, we appreciate you!!!”

I appreciated the photos and detailed summaries after her visits. She also cat sit over Christmas and was able to do it last minute, so I feel very lucky.”
“Maria is so thoughtful when taking care of my cat! She provides detailed, fun updates and I can tell my cat enjoys when Maria stops by. Highly highly recommend for someone reliable, timely, and great with cats!”
“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
We had Paul sit our two cats for a week each. From the start, Paul was super communicative and responsive. Our kitties—typically skeptical of strange hoomans—took to him right away, and he took such great care and attention in everything he did to make them feel comfortable while we were away. Thank you!
Fernanda was a dream! She was so communicative and attentive to my kitty cat and took such great care of him. She went above and beyond for us and left detailed notes after each visit and took plenty of pictures! My kitty is usallly so shy but i was pleasantly surprised how much he opened up to Fernanda and her warm, positive nature! I will definitely book with Fernanda again!
Deniz is kind and communicative. I appreciate the extra mile she went to in caring for my sweet geriatric kitty! Not only do I think this, but Catness the cat did too; she came out to say hi to Deniz and get pets, which she only does when she trusts someone. 5 stars, highly recommend!
Rachel was absolutely a star sitter! This was my first time using Rover and she helped me to feel so secure and confident in using the service and also having her as my sitter. I have 2 cats who warmed up to her right away and were so well taken care of. I highly recommend Rachel. She was extremely professional and dependable.
Kylie did a great job sitting fior my claws Kylie sent me a video with her playing with claws with his favorite fishy pole that he loves. Kylie did a great job sitting thank yiu I will book Kylie again when I go out of town. Thank you Kylie for taking such good care of claws. ❤️🥰☺️
Alissa did a fantastic job caring for Mochi and Margarita again. They seemed happy and content when I arrived home. Alissa does a great job communicating and providing pictures during her visits. I’m thankful to have found Alissa and will continue to have her care for my kitties when I travel.
Nicole is reliable and communicative. During our meet and greet she pointed out the possibility of (and recommended) booking for one hour drop in visits, which certainly made a difference in her ability to tend to the details of caring for each of our three cats, washing up the cat dishes, and sweeping up the litter from the messiest of our cats.
I’ve booked with Lauren several times now, and continue to do so for a reason. She is very flexible with her availability and super compassionate with my cats and her care of them. I always get tons of pictures and feedback from each one of her visits. Lauren is the best and I trust her completely with the care of my fur babies when I’m not around. 10/10 you should absolutely book her for anything you need! Thank you!!!
Jessie was absolutely incredible, stopping in every day for a week to play with and take care of our two cats! She gave thoughtful updates and lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Her communication was great and you can tell she’s very detailed oriented. She even let us know our smoke alarm battery was dying and we were able to contact maintenance to get it fixed while we were away. I highly recommend booking her for a reliable sitter!!
Amanda was the perfect sitter for our 2 cats! We feel lucky she was the first to respond to our desperate search for last-minute pet care. We knew she was a perfect fit as soon as we met her on that first meet & greet. Amanda has a wonderful friendly and calm demeanor so we were not surprised that our 2 scaredy-cats quickly became comfortable with her during the daily visits. We will definitely call on her again, and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to provide loving care for their pets!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Arlington on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,592 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 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 Arlington. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
