“Adelaide was great at communicating and wrote a very detailed report about her visit with our pups. When a problem arose she promptly communicated and found a solution. We loved the photos she sent and will gladly have her back!”
“Jennifer is fantastic! She took extra good care of our 4 elderly cats with special dietary requirements and medication schedules. She brought us peace of mind while on our vacation which is very much appreciated! We have worked with her before and will surely do so again.”
About: I find animals to be a joy and take pride in caring for them. I enjoy being around them and ensuring they’re healthy and safe. I’m currently working full time and I am available anytime after 5PM, to check in and play. I am also free anytime on the weekends. I will be able to fulfill any request that you have in order for me to look after your pets in your home. I make sure to be observant of their behavior to ensure their needs are met.
“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”
About: I have experience caring for pets, especially dogs and cats, since I have had animals at home since I was a child. To me, they are not just pets, but part of the family. I have learned to take care of their daily needs such as feeding, walks, basic hygiene, and most importantly, giving them love and attention. I also understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and commitment when it comes to their well-being. Caring for pets is not just a task for me it’s something I do with love and dedication. 🐾 I currently work during the day, but I am available to care for your pets in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and responsible when you can’t be there, and I am happy to provide loving, attentive care during those times. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I will make sure your pets feel safe and cared for. 🐾 I provide personalized care depending on each pet’s needs and the service requested. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, routines, and any special needs. Pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and affection so they feel at home and loved. In my client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, go on regular walks, get exercise, and receive companionship and care. I also keep the area clean and provide updates to owners for peace of mind. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they are in my home or theirs.
“Emily took very good care of my kitty Ross! It was comforting knowing that he was in good hands while I was out of town. The communication was great and l loved the updates! I highly recommend her to other pet owners. Thank you Emily!”
“Lindsey and her daughters did a fantastic job with our cat, Nova! Nova really enjoyed the extra company. Lindsey was reliable, trustworthy, and it’s the first time she hasn’t been anxious when we’ve been gone!”
“Rose was so kind. I’d forgotten to set up the door code for her and after failed attempts to reach me she went back later in the day once we connected. Thanks for going the extra mile.”
“Regina is a class act all the way around. She is professional and caring. My two dogs were well looked after by her. I would hire her again. In fact, I already have!”
About: I have had both cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I have had both through all stages of their lives, puppy/kitten - senior. I also have experience with administering medications. I am a college student who misses my own pets, and I would love to help care for yours so they do not get lonely! I am currently a college student and I do not have another job at the moment. This semester I am in class from 12pm-3pm M/W/F, and 8am-1:30pm on T/Th. Outside of that, I am a student leader so I have meetings on Monday’s from 3:30-5pm and events on some Friday's. However, I make sure to find time on my lunch breaks and before and after class to make sure pups can get outside and get a little love in between the times I have to be away. At my home, I have a fenced in yard for my dog, who is generally very well behaved, but I do not leave him unattended for long. He loves to wrestle and be brushed, so we do that often. He gets food once daily, per vet recommendations. In the past when I have had cats, they loved to cuddle and were pretty lazy. I cleaned out their litter box’s every 1-2 days, and they were grazers so I kept their food and water full daily.
About: I take very care of my cats and make sure they have a well balanced diet and life. I’ve babysat friends dogs and am very good at following any directions and preferences they give me. Cats and dogs give me so much joy and I always have the patience and love for them. I’m currently working a part-time job and I’m in softball currently, so the most available time I have are Fridays and the weekends at any time your pet will need me. I will be coming to your home since that works best for me, so I will care for you pet just like you would yourself. Any special accommodations you have for me, I will be sure to follow through since it is your home and your pet.
About: I've taken care of of dogs and cats for 9 years. I've pet sat for friends before. Im an active college rugby player and I can keep up with your dog. I'm currently on break from college so I have an open and flexible schedule. I can take opportunities any day of the week and im willing to do weekends. Ill play with, brush, feed and spend time with pets for a day or overnight visit. Mostly looking for dog walking, I can meet any needs they would have on those walks.
“Megan has been nothing but super sweet to my pup. She leaves thorough notes immediately after her visits and takes THE best photos of my pup. I feel so safe and comforted knowing she’s checking in on her during a long day. I highly recommend Megan to watch your dog”
“Paige was a wonderful sitter! She was so kind and communicative, leaving us great updates and pictures from her visits. We didn’t worry about our boys at all! Would definitely recommend Paige😺”
About: We have had a dog our entire life. We have cared for small dogs, large dogs, and puppies. We recently had to put our large Goldendoodle down and looking to care for others. I work from home full time and able to care for any potty trained dog. I am able to let them out several times a day on a leash. I will be able to take them on walks daily as well. I have kids who will give them a lot of attention and love. We are very loving, patient and responsible when it comes to caring for our and other fur babies. Pets are apart of the family and we have always treated ours like a family member.
About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school and am currently not taking classes over the summer. I work part-time at a barn, so I have a fairly open schedule. I am also very flexible and can meet the needs of any pet parent! In my experience, each pet sitting job is unique so I will follow each pet parent’s schedule and instructions.

Bethany was awesome. This is the first time we have used Rover or any pet sitter, and I can't emphasize how great she was. She took time to come over before our trip and got to know our pets. On each visit, she would take pictures to show us how much fun they were having. I can't recommend her enough. Thanks, Bethany.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,318 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dahlgren. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dahlgren. On Rover:

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.
