“I entrusted Jeanne with my dogs for five days, marking the first time I had left them alone at home. She performed dependable drop-in visits, maintained their feeding schedule, refreshed their water, and provided photo updates. She did an excellent job ensuring my picky eater was properly fed. I greatly valued her professionalism and would highly recommend her.”
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing at caring for our cat while we were away! She went above and beyond just making him feel loved and happy at her visits by even buying him treats and toys! Alyssa also sent frequent pictures to help us know that he was OK! I would highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a loving and caring pet sitter! She is the best! Thank you so much Alyssa!”
“Grace was amazing! Our previous sitter dropped out last minute, Grace was available and responsive and we were able to get everything sorted 2 days before we left. She even got our shyest cat out and about and made sure to send plenty of action shots of the cats playing!”
“Abi was a great sitter for my pitbull over a long weekend. She provided updates and took great care of her. I can tell she cares a lot about animals. We'd absolutely use Abi for drop in visits again. Thank you Abi!”
“Amy was wonderful with our older puppies while we were on vacation. She took extra care of any accidents and made sure they always had exercise and love. We always received updates every visit and you could tell our pups were so happy. Extremely happy and appreciative for her care for our fur babies.”
“Teresa did an amazing job sitting for my cat and dog! She was very attentive of their needs and any questions/comments I had while I was away on vacation. She sent me photos and videos of them each day, and was respectful and compliant to my list of instructions for them. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Stephanie accepted a last minute request for drop in care on father's day helping to keep us out of a pinch! We appreciate her replying so quickly and taking good care of our two puppies! Highly recommend!”
“I can't recommend Morgan enough! She took amazing care of my 2 dogs while I was away and followed every instruction perfectly. She made sure they got plenty of attention and even played fetch with my golden during every visit, which she absolutely loved. After it rained and the dogs tracked mud through the house, she even went above and beyond by mopping my floors without being asked. It's clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and takes pride in doing a good job. I felt completely at ease 200 miles away knowing they were in such great hands, and I'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Eleanorah was absolutely amazing with ourdog Otto! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about him like he was her own. Otto was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of the entire time. I had total peace of mind knowing he was with her. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Erin is a wonderful pet sitter. She made sure my cat was very well cared for and loved everyday. My shy kitty really liked Erin as she would greet her at the door with lots of purrs and cuddles. I highly recommend Erin and will use her again.”
About: Big or Small, Special Needs and All—A Sniff Adventure Awaits! Hi, I'm Frankie! Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent my entire life raising and caring for pets of every shape and size—from cats and dogs ranging from tiny to extra-large. My home is currently run by a wonderful, chaotic crew of four: Merc: My fluffy cat who rightfully considers himself the king of the house. My Energetic Pitty: A sweet, high-energy powerhouse who keeps life exciting. My Two Special Needs Pups: One who is completely blind, and another with neurological challenges. Why Choose Me? Living with special needs pets means "cautious and attentive" isn't just a tagline for me—it's my daily reality. I have deep experience and endless patience when it comes to walking blind dogs and pups who have trouble navigating or walking in a straight line. Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete who needs a solid workout, a delicate senior who wants a slow, gentle stroll, or a special needs pup who requires extra vigilance and a patient hand, I’ve got you covered. I treat every single animal with the same customized care, safety, and love that I give my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member and take them on their next great sniff adventure! I am currently a full-time graduate student finishing up my master's degree. Because my studies allow for a highly flexible schedule, I have plenty of open availability throughout the workweek to drop in and walk your pups while you are at the office. Treating Your Furry Family Like My Very Own In my own home, I take extreme care of my pets. Living with special needs animals and a high-energy pit bull means safety, structure, and deep attentiveness are built into my daily routine. I bring that exact same level of high-standard, vigilant care to your home and your pets.
“I’m the type of person who said I’d never be able to let a stranger watch my babies. I found myself in a position where I needed to break that rule and Hannah was so wonderful that I wasn’t stressed at all about leaving her with my pets. She and her daughter came over every day to play with, feed, and care for my babies. She was very communicative, innovative when any pets might not eat enough or seem too stressed, and knowledgeable. She was willing to try any ideas I had on how to help my pets cope, too (my dog especially is a very anxious boy). I truly believe that Hannah and her daughter loved my pets like I do and I couldn’t be happier with how their visits went. I cannot recommend Hannah enough.”
“Zara was so sweet and took great care of my pack! This was my first time using rover and it was a lovely experience. I will definitely reach out to Zara again when we need someone to check on our pups!”
“so attentive and caring !! did the most and did more then asked, especially when there was some minor bumps that came up, she was able to help me out !! love her and will use her again !!”
“Thanks for taking such good care of the critters and for being available for an extra day when our flight was delayed! We'll be sure to call you again for our next trip!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in animal shelters, dog daycare centers, and boarding facilities. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. After recently losing my beloved dogs, I realized I wasn't quite ready for another long-term commitment, but I deeply missed having dogs around. Rover has given me the perfect opportunity to open my home and heart to dogs while helping other pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have two cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable sharing their space, as well as two young children who have been around dogs their entire lives and know how to interact respectfully with them. For the comfort and safety of every pet in my care, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention and create a calm, stress-free environment during their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. My mornings typically begin with feeding pets, potty breaks, walks, or playtime before my family's daily activities start. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I can accommodate additional potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In the evenings, pets are included in our family's relaxed routine, with more playtime, walks, and cuddles before bedtime. For boarding and daycare, dogs are rarely left unattended, and I only accept pets from one household at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Dogs have access to our large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and because I am home throughout the day, they receive consistent attention and companionship. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, which allows me to focus on their individual needs and maintain a low-stress environment. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention at their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having a quiet and reliable caretaker, I respect their personality and routine. I am also comfortable following special instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. From every size and breed, from Beagle to Pitbull-Mastiff mix. Imagine your anxious dog when you get home from work, super ready for a long walk... well that's me. I am a pediatric psych nurse at CHKD so I get home from work and can't sit and relax on the couch. So dog walking or sitting would help to tucker me and your dog out! If you have a strict schedule for when your pup should be fed or walked, or how much food, etc, I will do exactly what you ask. If you have a certain route or play routine, I will oblige. All in all, I want to make you and your dog happy and become a trusted and loyal person in both of your lives! I also have 3 cats so I would also be able to help with your kitties as well!
“Kess is just wonderful, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for your pet like her own while you’re away! She is detail oriented and patient. My cat, who is typically quite anxious, warmed up to her right away :) She also sends such lovely, detailed messages and cute photos. Will absolutely continue reaching out to her in the future for help when I’m away!”

Haley has been wonderful! We have used her multiple times for watching our cats and will continue to use her if available in the future! 😊 she sends lots of pictures including food, water and litterbox at each visit to give you a peace of mind that your fur baby is being well taken care of while you are gone!
Jaclyn took wonderful care of my cat while I was abroad. I felt so much more at ease being away knowing she was in such good hands. Jaclyn was communicative, dependable, and thoughtful throughout my trip. She also handled an unexpected maintenance issue with care and intention, which I really appreciated while being out of town. I’m very grateful for her help and will absolutely be using her again!
Tyler was great! This was my first time using Rover, and Tyler helped walk me through the process. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing that my cat was in good hands. He was patient with my very shy cat and took great care of her, and I came home to a safe, healthy, happy cat! Would definitely book with Tyler again.
We booked Kylie again for our fur babies for a quick weekend getaway, and we are just as happy as our first booking with her. Kylie communicates well, is punctual, and always checking in with us. One of our cats is diabetic and I have zero worries with Kylie, and she has been a breath of fresh air when it comes to looking after our babies and being able to enjoy our trips. I highly recommend her services. She’s a keeper for sure! Thanks Kylie P!
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.
Lucia did a great job looking after my 2 kitties! She followed all my instructions I left behind & was communicative during drop-ins! She definitely eased my mind when we were traveling. We’ll be sure to look out next time for Lucia when needing a reliable and caring sitter! ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Chesapeake on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,139 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Chesapeake. 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.

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.
