“Taylor was an amazing sitter for our 2 dogs and cat. We had a stressful and emotional wedding get away and knowing the pets we're in good hands was a huge relief. Her check ins went exactly by the schedule we planned and she provided several photos at each visit. She quickly responded to any questions I had during our time away. We are excited to have her close by and available to help in the future!!”

“Michele was great watching our 2 large dogs for 2 days while we were out of town. She communicated the whole time with updates and photos. Gave great peace of mind!”

About: I have 10+ years of experience in caring for dogs and absolutely adore animals (especially dogs)! I have 2 dogs, one a rescue and they are my entire world, and I would love to bring that energy to your sweet fur baby! I have house sat for several pets over the years as well as checked in, walked, and played with to ensure enrichment and that they don't get lonely! I would love the opportunity to help you care for your sweet creatures! I have a very flexible schedule and am available at most hours of the day and just about any day of the week, to check in on your furbaby! In my home, my dogs are my world. They are played with and walked each day, they have a structured diet, and they are ALWAYS allowed to snuggle on the couch (although I respect if this is not the case in your home)! I greet my dogs and other pets with love and joy. I ensure water is always available, and that they have access to the window so that they can watch outside while I am away. I firmly believe in using all of these when taking care of any pet!
“Jayson did absolutely amazing with my 3 pups this week and they get excited to see him for their drop in visits! I’m glad they didn’t scare him away so he can keep doing drop in visits with them 🐶🐶🐶”

“Artur is great. He loves cats as much as dogs. He is very conscientious. My cat loves to play with him. Artur sweeps up the litter up and recycles my cans. He saw my desk that I bought still in the box and he put it together for me. He is a Ukrainian immigrant but his English is good. I highly recommend him.”

“I have a puppy and Lisa was able to come take care of him twice a day while I was at work and on short notice, she sent me pictures and kept my worry at a minimum while I was gone. I came home to a puppy who was fed and happier than he would have been otherwise. Ill definitely be using her again!”


About: I have always grown up with at least one doggie at home and I have recently adopted an orange rescue cat who is now one year old! If any of my family is out of town, I am trusted to take care of their pets. This includes taking them on walks, accommodating to specialized diets, and spending quality time with them! I currently am enrolled in classes for the evening and will work part time. My schedule is very flexible as I am not scheduled daily! I insure each pet will receive care tailored to their unique needs. I am careful to double check all doors are closed and gates are locked. If any special rules are required to keep your pets comfortable, I will be sure to see them through.

About: I love animals! I've taken care of all kinds of domestic pets for 15 years now. I've also worked for a small zoo and cared for cows, donkeys and Nigerian Dwarf Goats, as well as owls, hawks and an eagle. I have cared for exotic animals too! Ostriches, African tortoises, an African sand cat, African black-backed jackals and porcupines. I will give loving and attentive care to your pets. You can rest easy. I love animals and they love me! Pet care is all I do, so your pets will get personal immediate attention. I have been doing pet/house/farm sitting part-time for over 10 years. I'm now going into this full-time. Your pets will get my undivided attention! I have a reliable car and am easy to get ahold of anytime day or night. I do a meet and greet with you and your pets so we can get to know each other and I can make sure we are compatible and learn about your animals routine and any special needs so I can care for them safely and well. This first meeting is where we develop that initial trust and bond.
“Isabel is my favorite. I have used her pet sitting services a few times now and she is always super friendly, reliable, and sweet to my cats. I think they missed her more than me when I came through the door after vacation!! They do get treats from her more often anyway 🤪 she’s the best, even going as far as to let me know when my mail/packages arrived and put them in safe places for me. I’m super glad I found a sitter I can trust for vacations and small trips. Thank you Isabel!!!! 🩵🥳”


About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs in my home and have earned more than 70 five-star Rover reviews without a rating below five stars. Over that time, I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, routines, activity levels, ages, and household needs. Animals have also been part of my own household throughout those years. Our family started with two Yorkshire Terriers, Barkley and Eva, and today their son Mutombo is our resident elder. We also share our home with our cat, Tiger. Living with animals every day has reinforced something I take seriously when caring for someone else’s pet: consistency matters. When your dog stays with me, I want their routine to feel as familiar and predictable as possible. I pay attention to feeding instructions, bathroom habits, activity, rest, temperament, and how each dog adjusts to the environment. I also intentionally look for changes in appetite, energy, mood, sleep, or behavior that might be worth bringing to your attention. I provide home-based boarding and daycare rather than trying to operate like a high-volume kennel. Compatibility matters, especially when multiple dogs are present, so I prefer to get to know each dog before making them part of a regular daycare or boarding group. My goal is simple: provide the kind of attentive, dependable care I would want for my own pets while giving owners confidence that their dog is being noticed—not simply housed. I'll be sure to provide photo updates so you can see how your dog is settling in while you're away. My availability is planned around the dogs I accept rather than simply filling every open date. I provide home-based boarding and daycare and try to keep each day's group manageable and compatible. For daycare, I prefer consistent drop-off and pickup windows so the middle of the day can follow a predictable rhythm of outdoor breaks, activity, enrichment, supervision, and rest. For boarding, I do my best to maintain each dog's normal feeding, bathroom, sleeping, and activity routine whenever practical. If you send me a request, please include your expected drop-off and pickup times so I can confirm that the schedule works well for everyone. I've spent eight years caring for dogs in my home and have earned more than 70 five-star Rover reviews without a rating below five stars. Over that time, I've learned that good care starts with understanding the individual dog rather than assuming every dog will behave the same way in a new environment. Compatibility is important in my home. I pay attention to temperament, interactions with other dogs, comfort around household members, resource guarding, escape tendencies, stress signals, and each dog's ability to settle. I prefer Meet & Greets for new clients so we can discuss your dog's normal behavior and determine whether my home environment is a good fit before committing to regular daycare or an extended boarding stay. I also monitor for changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, mood, sleep, movement, or behavior and will communicate with you if something seems unusual.
“A very personable young lady with lots of knowledge and experience. Provided excellent care for my little “crooner”, giving me the peace of mind I needed for a week on the road. Will definitely use Miss Kaitlin again.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my strong experience working with dogs and puppies of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with pets belonging to family and friends, which helped me build a solid foundation of hands-on experience with dogs in everyday home environments. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need while learning routines like potty training, crate training, leash walking, and basic commands. I also enjoy helping reinforce positive behaviors through structure, repetition, and lots of encouragement. For adult dogs, I adapt easily to their personality—whether they are high-energy and need plenty of exercise or more relaxed and prefer a calm routine. I also have experience with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, and extra attention to comfort and mobility. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and behavioral cues, so they feel secure and understood while in my care. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially with my availability in the afternoons and evenings. Since I work part time, I have ample time during the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy spending my evenings going on walks, which would make it easy and consistent for me to provide daily exercise and outdoor time. I also look forward to using my free time for play, feeding, and bonding activities that help build trust and comfort with pets. In my home or a client’s home, I provide pet care with consistency, attentiveness, and respect for the animal’s routine and comfort level. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication instructions if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. I make sure pets always have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean, safe environment. I prioritize daily exercise and enrichment through walks, playtime, and interaction suited to the pet’s age, energy level, and personality. I also focus on building trust through calm, patient handling and positive attention. In a client’s home, I am mindful of maintaining the space exactly as instructed, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand the importance of routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pet while their owner is away. Overall, my approach is to care for each pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and responsible care tailored to their individual needs

About: Experience with dogs of different sizes as well as with cats. I used to have 5 dogs at once. All with different needs. Very flexible and will acclimate to whatever your pet needs! Very flexible with whatever you and your pet need. I WFH throughout the week and can work from wherever. Or I can just go check on your pet after work or for a walk. On a recent health journey and would love extra motivation to be more active outdoors! I’m very conscious about ensuring pets are well leashed and not left alone (especially outside). Will make sure they get their food (and treats, if allowed) as well as all the necessary pets!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, ranging from 10+ cats, little shi tzus and Pomeranians, and up to a 130+ lb Rottweiler! I love animals of all sorts, and caring for them is my true passion. I believe pets are the most precious companions people can have, so they should have the love as possible to accommodate that ! I am currently in college, and I do not have a technical job, though I sometimes do grocery delivery orders, I usually spend my time studying. I have a shi-tzu who is super playful and sweet, I do not have a yard but there is a huge field next to my home where I take my dog to go potty.
About: I have about 15 years experience with all sorts of animals ranging from big dogs to rodents, I provide walking an check-ins for dogs an cats. When going for walks just around the neighborhood I like to add just a little running to get those heartbeats pumping. With check-ins I'm available to do about 3-4 times a day if needed, I am also willing to give medicine if your pet requires it. I'm flexible when it comes to schedules an am always willing to work with you so you an your pet get the best service provided. If you have any questions or concerns I will be more than happy to address it, just shoot me a message an I'll get back to you within 24-48hrs It's something that I have always wanted to do, and I am willing to rearrange and schedule pet care and walking as needed for my client's pets. In my own home, I make sure that my cats are well fed, exercised, groomed, and up to date on their routine vet visits and vaccines to ensure they are healthy and happy. In my client's home, I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me in any and all situations. I ensure that they are also fed, given medications if needed, exercised, and loved all in a visit.
About: I have about 10 years of caring for pets, from cats, dogs and even rodents! I also have experience in giving vaccines and pills to animals.

“Lillian is super friendly and kind, and Stuart loves her which is so important! She's definitely a great animal person and it's such a huge relief to have somebody so nice to check in on the little guy while we're out of town. I'm sure he appreciated her visit as much as we did! She's very communicative and sent us a bunch of pictures as well. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 399 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Christiansburg. 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.

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.
