About: I’ve owned animals most of my life but recently started traveling full time and have been house/pet sitting around the US since October 2025. It’s been amazing getting to know and spend time with so many different pets along the way! I travel full time so wherever I’m at, my schedule can be very flexible to allow for the best routine for your pets! I am available for overnight sits, daytime care, walks, drop-ins and adventure walks. Since I travel full time, pet care will need to be done in the clients home. I have many references from others I’ve sat for stating that I’m respectful of your home, taking care of your belongings and your animals, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Kelsea is truly such a wonderful person. She always makes me feel so reassured that my baby is well taken care of while I’m away. I will always recommend her to any pet parent.”
“Talen had a great connection with my fur babies. One is timid and usually it takes a few days for a sitter to be able to touch her but she came around a little faster with Talen.”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart! With hands-on farm experience and a rescue animal of my own, I understand how important it is to provide animals with patience, love, and attentive care. I’m comfortable around animals of all personalities and sizes, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every animal as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention! I am currently working part time with my husband so have plenty of time and energy to spend with your animals! Looking to stay busy! I will treat any animals as if were my own , I have so much love to give and can’t wait to share it with your little fur angels!
“Absolutely amazing experience! Highly recommend! We left our cats with her for about five days, and she did such a great job taking care of them! She sent us updates multiple times a day, every single day, which I really appreciated. It made being away from them so much easier knowing they were in good hands. Her kids also loved on our cats, which was so sweet! She and her husband were both so welcoming and friendly from the start. Communication was great, everything was handled professionally, and you can tell they really care about the animals they watch. I would definitely leave our cats with her again without hesitation! So happy we found her!”
“Shaleigh came over to meet my cat who is extremely shy around new people. She was very patient with him and he allowed her to pet him which is a great first step. Looking forward to them getting to know each other more on future visits!”
About: While I may be newer to professional pet sitting, I have experience caring for dogs for friends and coworkers and have enjoyed getting to know each dog’s unique personality and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and will make sure they get plenty of care, attention, potty breaks, and love while you’re away. 🐾 I work a full-time Monday–Friday schedule and typically get off around 4 PM. I’m available for pet care in the evenings during the week and have full availability on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship when I’m available. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with access to a dog park, so your pet will have a comfortable place to relax and play. While I don’t have a private yard, I can provide regular potty breaks and walks and use the dog park for supervised play when appropriate. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay.
“It was my first time leaving my cat Arya with someone, and I was a bit nervous, but Marisleidy did an amazing job! She kept me updated, was very caring, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. Arya looked calm and happy when I got back. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again! 💕🐾”
About: Years of experience in housepet and farm care, ranging from the biggest horse to the smallest fish. I was employed with Happy Tails Petsitting before moving out here to Lyman, where I sent clients updates every visit. Currently unemployed, will update if necessary. Animal care is my specialty, and employment options are pretty limited to me. Recommendations are much appreciated for top of the line care for others! I focus on feeding, medications, and play time for housepets, and farm animals as well. Just hit me with a list of instructions and I'll be all set!
About: I am a 27 year old husband and father of 2 boys. I am a veterinary nurse who works with dogs and cats everyday. I love what I do and consider myself lucky to be able to make a living working with animals. I know that most owners feel the same way as i do about their dogs/cats when they have to leave them in others hands. Owners are going to worry when they are away and it is up to the person responsible for their pet to make them feel at ease. When your pet is with me you can know that they are in good hands and that I will do everything I can to make them feel safe. I know all dogs are different and some are more frightened when their owners are away. Some dogs need more affection than others while some just want you to throw them the ball. I take pride in making them feel safe and as if they were with their best friend. I promise you i will keep your pet safe and sound. Even more than that i promise you that them and I will have fun! Thank you. I work Monday through Friday with Thursdays off. I can always come by in the mornings, on lunch, and afternoon and nights. I can be as flexible as needed. I will always keep an eye on the pet and make sure they are seen as if their own human was there. I take pride that I have worked in the vet field for over a decade and pretty much grew up in it
About: I have been pet sitting for family and friends on and off for 10 years. I have experience watching dogs, cats, bunnies, and many more animals! I’m an honest hard worker with an attention to detail with a big passion for loving and taking care of pets. I’m currently a homemaker with some free time and would love to fill it with caring for animals. I have a very flexible schedule. I have a good attention to detail and like to follow a routine and schedule. Servicing the pets up to the standards the owner has put in place and ensuring a happy animal.
“Shelley is great! She took care of my cat, Bobo, for 4 days while I was away. She answered all of my questions, stayed for a while during the initial meet 'n greet, followed my instructions to a "T", and stayed longer so Bobo could get comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to book Shelley again. I highly recommend her services.”
“She did such a great job and went above and beyond!!! When I had an issue with wildlife critters getting in the pet door, she went there and checked on everyone right away!!! All of my cats that are normally antisocial love her!!!”
About: I have taken care of almost every dog in my small town from Alaska! I am trusted by everyone in my town with any variety of pets. I take care of dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I owned two reptiles back in Alaska so I have experience. If you need a reliable person who is good with all animals, give me a shout! I am currently living a life of freedom and nature loving. I travel around the world in my camper van and take care of pets all across the way. I would be more than happy to stay with your pet while you were away as well if that would make both the owner and the pet more comfortable. I would be willing to stay at no extra charge. I am incredibly flexible with the care of any pet and I will follow the owners instructions as directed to make sure their pet friend does not have a disturbed routine. If your pup needs time to play outside, I would be happy to exercise them as needed. I can feed as many times a day as needed and can provide regular care.
“We trusted Keery with our home and little cat while we were abroad and she was really great. She was responsable and very gentle with our cat as the little fur ball has some trust issues with humans xD she kept us updated with pictures and videos and we felt assured while we were not home. Thanks Keery :)”
“Second time booking with Makayla and service was great as usual! Very communicative, followed all our care instructions, and was super sweet to our old boys. Thanks, Makayla!”

I can’t say enough good things about Gregory K. This family really cares about the animals they care for! We received daily updates and concerns with pictures. He really took time with our senior cat every day and did not rush in and rush out. I highly recommend!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Blue Ridge is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 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.

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.
