“Karlee was awesome! She left the most detailed notes and photos that I've ever seen from a sitter, and she was incredibly personable and warm. Definitely glad we found her to care for our kitties and wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”
“Katherine was amazing to our kitty Obi! Her consistent and timely updates always brought a smile to my face and I felt confident that Obi was in loving hands. She went above and beyond and we would 100% choose to leave Obi in Katherine’s care again!”
“Carolyn was fabulous. She was our first experience with Rover. I received updates every time she visited and she always sent pictures. Carolyn actually stayed for a bit and played with our cats. I am so appreciative of the attention and care she paid to them.”
“Dakota was a great sitter! They were extremely responsive bud easy to communicate with. Dakota always uploaded pics of my pet and provided detailed updates. I would definitely book them again.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and started dog-sitting for my neighbors at 9 years old. I love all animals, but dogs have a very special place in my heart. I've worked with dogs of all ages, and over the summer, I cared for a puppy full-time for the family I nanny for. I am very comfortable with big dogs and have lots of experience with large breeds, including Corsos and English Mastiffs. I hope I can make your time away from your pets a little bit easier and less stressful! I am a full-time student at the University of Virginia (with a car), so I have classes during the weekdays; however, I do have many breaks and a few days each week without classes, so I have a lot of room for coming by to check in and help out in any way I can. What I do to keep the animals and myself safe really depends on the situation. When I walk, I always carry pepper spray, and I have collars with lights on them in case I am ever walking a dog in low visibility. The important thing to me is making sure I follow any specific requests from the owners!
“My second booking with Bryn and I couldn’t imagine anyone else taking care of my boys! Very thankful to have her as I know my cats love when she comes to care for them!”
“Kailyn was a lifesaver when I needed a last minute pet sitter. She was very responsive, sent detailed updates and pictures, and had no problem handling my cat's different foods and medications. I would definitely use her services again!”
“Ella did such a great job taking care of our cat. She sent updates every day, was very responsive, and even brought some packages inside that were delivered while we were away. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I am a young college student looking to help you care of your pet while making some extra money to help with my tuition! I can help with all kinds of pets especially of different ages. I currently have a lot of time on my hands and would love to spend my time with animals and being able to help out as much as possible. In my home, my pets are always my first priority and I feel that pets deserve love and respect just as we do and I am hoping to be able to help you with that.
About: I've owned and taken care of cats and dogs for a very long time and can't wait to take care of your babies too! I was a veterinary assistant for 5 years in both small and large animal clinics and am very comfortable taking care of all animals. I also grew up riding horses and handling large animals. I'm happy to do farm animal or reptile drop in visits as well. Let me know of any special instructions for your fur babies and we will work it out! I am a graduate student at UVA so I am typically working during the day but can do drop in visits morning/afternoon and walks at those times as well. I want to know what your routine is and I will do my best to follow it to the letter so that your pet is comfortable and gets the most out of our time together.
“Katelyn is fantastic!! She has been so kind, patient, and caring with my nervous older kitty. Her notes about visits are so detailed and she consistently goes above and beyond in her care. It really puts my mind at ease to know she is taking such good care of my kitty while i’m away. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Ireland did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! Very attentive to their needs and I felt confident leaving them in her care. Would definitely rebook with her!”
“LaTrice took great care of our two kittens and our home while we were away. Our kittens were so happy and relaxed when we got home, and we really appreciated the great photos and updates we received while we were gone! We’d highly recommend her for pet and house sitting. Thank you, LaTrice!!”
About: I have been pet sitting for many years, typically with friends and family. I have been responsible for cats (domestic & feral), dogs, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, guinea fowls, fish, bearded dragons, geckos and even a millipede! I have also worked with animals in a professional setting for 14 years and I have some veterinary assistant experience. I’m happy to handle extra tasks such as retrieving mail, watering plants and even some light housekeeping. I work full time (4 days per week) but can provide morning and evening care most days. On days off, I can be flexible and as available as your pet requires. I will be as candid as possible about my schedule to ensure choosing me is the best option! In a clients home, I follow all instructions given in regard to their pets care. I ensure the pet is comfortable with me before any handling or petting. I love to send photos and updates to clients letting them see how their pet is doing.
About: I’ve always loved animals. I am very patient, trustworthy, and reliable. Caring for animals is something I love to do! I can’t wait to watch your pet!! I do have a full-time job from 8am-4:30pm, so any care that is needed will need to be in the afternoons after 5:00pm, due to having to get my daughter from daycare after work. I will walk your fur baby whenever it is needed, feed pets based on the schedule you provide, and make sure they have plenty of play time.
About: I have been a pet sitter for neighbors and friends for years and just a few years ago got my own dog! I love spending time with dogs and cats whether it be on walks, in a dog park or yard, or just snuggling on the couch. I would love to meet your pets! I am a counselor at a local school but am off for the summer and have more flexibility for daytime care! I am available for evenings and weekends yearround. I would prefer to go to the client’s home and have a dependable car to get to and from! I would also prefer drop in or walks.
About: I grew up on a farm, I am familiar with caring for anything from a lizard to a horse. I have been a trusted pet sitter and walker for a few families for years. I have volunteered at vet clinics since I was in high school and am versed in dog CPR and have a background in dog training. I truly love all animals they have my heart and utmost care always. Any animal in my care will be left in luxury. As a pet owner myself I understand the need to know your loved one is left in good hands. I am flexible, so please feel free to reach out with any questions! I am a personal trainer in the Charlottesville area and have a flexible schedule. This is perfect for allowing me to take breaks even throughout a normal work day to take ample care of your fur babies. It is your fur baby so I will follow whatever routine you guys have set for your household. My goal is to make them feel like they are on vacation too!

I’m so grateful for Tracy! She was very patient with my shy cats and by the second visit I could tell from photos they were much more relaxed and seemed to be genuinely enjoying her. Everything was perfect with good updates. Both cats were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t ask for more.
Karlee was absolutely amazing with my two cats. One of my cats threw up his breakfast and she made sure to stay with him and watch him and even found cleaning supplies to clean it up. She was very communicative and would love to have her watch our babies again, would 100% recommend
Rhiana is such a professional sitter and caretaker that I have nothing to worry every time I travel. She doesn't miss a detail and is agile in unforeseen circumstances like when my cats can't be found because of cleaners or lawnmowers. She's one of the best pet sitters I've found on Rover.
Virginia was great! She cared for my cat for about two weeks and went above and beyond. She took care of all her needs, played with her, and kept her company while I was away. My cat really liked her, which made me feel much more comfortable being gone for so long. She was also very respectful of my space. I would definitely book with her again!
Katherine did an AMAZING job taking care of our old kitty Puszkin when we were away for the weekend. She gave him medicine twice a day with no issues, followed all our instructions very thoroughly and provided lots of attention, pets, cuddles and scritches 😻 She sent very detailed messages to keep us updated on Puszkin’s wellbeing and shared lots of great pictures and videos. Highly recommend Katherine and I’m sure we will reach out to her again at some point!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Barracks is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 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.

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.
