“Grace always takes such great care of our 2 cats. She was extra patient with getting our cat to eat who has been having appetite issues. And we always receive lots of cute pictures!”
“We’ve hired Tyler to watch our cat while on vacation a few times. He exercises great communication and we know Benny always has a great time playing with Tyler. We will continue using him in the future.”
“Chelsea was such a great care taker of my 2 outdoor cats. She met with us before our booking. She even took care of a package while were away. Pictures were sent every day. Thank you Chelsea.”
“Theodora was absolutely amazing once again! Our kitties were well taken care of while we were away. She is very communicative and is always positive, friendly, and polite when talking with her. She is our go-to sitter when we take trips!”
“I am so grateful to have found Amy, and recommend her wholeheartedly! Leaving my girl as I travel far away is always hard, especially in the hands of a stranger. But Amy put me at ease right away, during our first meeting. I arrived back to a peaceful kitty and a calm home. I have no doubt that we will be hiring Amy again! Thank you!”
“Tayauna did a great job dropping in on my cat the days I went out of town! She handled everything perfectly and it was great to not have to worry on my trip because she was very communicative, responded quickly, and left great updates.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals, specifically family pets, since I was a young girl! I currently have a kitten of my own named Astra. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. My patience runs deep with shy or nervous pets. However, I do thoroughly enjoy playing with both cats and dogs! If they need to cuddle, go on walks, or just need a little attention, count me in! My experience as a teacher makes me responsible, dependable, and very attentive to routines and instructions. With me, I hope you can feel confident that your pet will be genuinely cared for while you’re away! I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I can also accommodate some weekday evenings depending on the location and my work schedule. On weekends, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, litter boxes, routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet has a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Liz did an amazing job caring for our boys when we went on vacation! She followed all the instructions I left and made sure their needs were met. She was very communicative and sent plenty of updates and photos. We appreciate Liz’s help and will definitely book her again!”
“I can not express how amazing Renee is with our floof babies, we always come home to very happy well loved and cared for cats. Our cats love her, and I hope we can book her for all the times we need to go away!”
“Hannah was an amazing sitter! She took great pictures of my cat as well as pictures to make sure I knew he had food, clean litter and water! I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs both big and small/young and old, I’ll always send you updates on your pets to let you know how our walk went without being asked, and I’ll treat your babies as if they were my own. I work an office job Monday to Friday from 8-4. I am free for walks in late afternoons/evenings during the weekdays, and have full availability on the weekend. I have two cats and they are very spoiled. I ensure that they always have fresh water, daily. I make sure they are given good food. And I play and cuddle with them all the time.
About: Hello! I’ve owned 3 dogs, one small and two medium, my last border collie was the only one I trained since the other two behaved so well, I taught him a lot of “patience” tricks for him to be comfortable not being around me since he had separation anxiety, I also taught him different tricks and did different exercises from day to day since well he is a border collie haha. Other than that I’ll follow your list of demands and pet needs while you’re away, don’t worry your baby is in good hands!! I am currently in the military, so my schedule is not flexible. I’ll be completely off on the weekends but on weekdays I’ll be free after 4pm some days possible 3pm. I cannot do Thursdays unfortunately that’s my busiest day of the week. If you need overnight pet sitting I don’t mind at all just let me know! I cannot take any pets “home” because i currently live in the barracks and I won’t be able to give the needed support for your furry friend.
“Ellen was excellent and very reliable. She took great care of my two cats while I was away and sent very detailed updates. The pictures were so appreciated because I missed them so much. There was one night the power went out and I couldn’t access the home cameras to see them and Ellen was amazing, providing updates, pictures, and offering to help further if needed. She gave me peace of mind about the care my pets were receiving and I would definitely recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life including seniors with medical needs. I currently have an 18-year-old cat who requires daily medication, so I’m very comfortable with administering meds and handling special routines. While I have not walked or sat much for others professionally yet, I bring decades of hands-on experience with my own pets—treating each one like family. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and attention to detail. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, lots of attention, and flexibility with scheduling. I understand how important it is to keep dogs feeling safe, loved, and well cared for while their people are away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, timely care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular check-ins, or extended company, I can usually accommodate last-minute or custom requests. I’m happy to discuss a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s routine! I care for pets with the same attention and respect I give my own. At home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I follow feeding routines, keep fresh water available, and provide enrichment through play, affection, and companionship. My goal is always to help pets feel secure and loved while you're away.
“Judy was absolutely amazing! She made the entire experience stress free. She was reliable, communicative, and sent me updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took great care of my cat, respected her personalities and boundaries, and genuinely cared about her wellbeing.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chesapeake
Tyler is responsible and caring, and he did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were away. He met with us beforehand and learned their routines. During the trip, he sent photo updates. What we appreciated most was his persistence in winning over our stranger-shy cats. He did manage to befriend them both, and that says more about the kindness of his character than this review can. 100% recommend!
Jordan was fantastic!! She sent many photos each visit and was flexible and happy to work with me on my crazy last minute schedule changes and trip with limited cell service. She took great care of my cat and the outdoor stray cat and my cat loved her, which isn't always the case with new people!!
McKayla did a great job caring for my community cat, made sure the food was put out, sent helpful updates, and included pictures so I could see that everything was okay. I really appreciated her communication and reliability, especially since caring for a feral cat can be a little different than caring for an indoor pet. I would definitely recommend her and would book with her again.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Chesapeake is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 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.

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.
