About: I think what sets me apart from other people is that I enjoy the cats and dogs company even if they don’t enjoy mine so I give the them a lot of attention and a lot of pets. I also like to make sure that they get an even amount of food because my cats and dog love to eat others food even after eating a lot. Pet care fits into my daily routine by giving my pets food and water in the morning, making sure they have time to exercise and play, and spending time with them throughout the day. Since I only go to school one day a week, I have more time to care for them, keep their environment clean, and give them the attention they need. I also make sure they are fed in the evening and have everything they need before I go to bed. I always give them the love and attention because that’s what a human needs also, I love giving pets, refilling the water bowl because it’s very cute seeing them drink water and I refill their kibble. I also love playing with them with the little toys and brushing their hair because it’s very calming.

About: I have nearly a decade of experience caring for dogs through work in dog daycares and as a pet sitter. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, stages of life, and personalities, and I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including insulin, and am committed to keeping every dog safe, happy, and comfortable. 🐶💕 I am currently working part time and am available most days. My shifts are normally about four hours long, so I am able to be around for most of the day. I am comfortable with taking care of any dog. I am able to administer any medication need and I am able to follow any care instructions provided.

About: I’ve always had animals in my life. We grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, even a duck! We’ve had our animals from babies to adults so I know how to care for animals of all ages. I understand the importance of training and attention for puppies & kittens as well as the patience & extra needed care that elderly pets may require. I’ve always been the go to sitter for friends and family as they know I’ll treat their animals with the same love I have for my own. I’m currently full time but work different hours throughout the week so there’s times where I’m available to care for pets before a shift, after a shift, or both! I have more availability on weekends and sometimes have extra time during the week as well. I have a fenced back yard where your doggos can run around and enjoy some much needed play time and let out their zoomies! I have a 5 year old Olde English Bulldog named Ozzo who’s a sweetheart and loves to play (only for about 10 mins before he gets tired) and a cat Bobo who keeps to himself.

“I had such a great experience with Zoe! She watched my cat for a few hours and made sure I felt completely at ease. When I asked for an update, she responded quickly, let me know he was doing well, and even sent pictures—which I loved! When I picked him up, she filled me in on how he’d been and I could tell he was comfortable and happy in her care. I really appreciate her communication and the calm, welcoming environment she provided. Highly recommended!! :)”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me 15 years of hands-on experience across all breeds and sizes. From large, powerful breeds like Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Great Danes to spirited Schnauzers and my current 4-year-old French Bulldog, I understand how to adjust my care to every dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pup needs confident, experienced handling on walks or gentle, focused attention, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care is my top priority! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure every dog gets full attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and daily exercise. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I have flexible availability to match your dog's exact daily routine. Having raised dogs my whole life—from large breeds like Great Danes and Pitbulls to smaller pups like my Frenchie—I prioritize safety above all else. In your home, I keep the environment secure, strictly follow all feeding and leash protocols, and provide frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.

About: I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I always stick to your pet’s routine. I also make sure they’re having fun and feeling loved. I’m big on communication, so you’ll get plenty of updates (and lots of cute photos) while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop in, or boarding, my goal is always the same: a happy pet and total peace of mind for you. I currently work full-time but am available for midday visits/drop ins. I have a lot of availability on the weekends for whatever your booking needs may be. I live in a complex with a dog-park and plenty of walking trails. I am able to crate dogs easily crate pets and am comfortable being around pets of all sizes.

“Nadia has been an excellent sitter for my cat. She took great care of all of her basic needs (like cleaning the litter box and feeding her), and also took the extra time to play with her and give her love while I was away. She let me know that my cat threw up on the carpet, cleaned it up, and kept an eye on her to make sure she was okay! Nadia goes above and beyond!”

About: I've provided loving pet care for 7 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have a fenced yard, air-purified home, and separate spaces to comfortably accommodate your pets. I'm experienced with medications (including oral and subcutaneous), basic obedience, enrichment, crate training, and caring for pets with special needs. I also have experience with reptiles, rabbits, rodents, birds, aquatic pets, and insects. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible. Drop ins, house sitting, boarding and 15 minute walks can be scheduled at nearly any time. ● I provide daily updates and photos on your pet. ● 3+ references are provided upon request. ● Home details: Large fenced yard, Coway air purifiers throughout the house, neutered 36 lb English bulldog and neutered male tabby. Both of them are notoriously chill, and I am more than willing to do a meet and greet prior to boarding. ● I DO NOT smoke or use incense, oils, etc.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up with at least two dogs in our home at all times, and as I got older, caring for them became an important responsibility—from walks and feeding to making sure they got plenty of love, attention, and playtime. For the past five years, I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and other families. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off some energy, a little extra playtime, or simply some companionship, I’m happy to help! I recently graduated from the University of Missouri, where I was a Division I gymnast. Being a student-athlete taught me to be dependable, organized, attentive to routines, and responsible. These qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I also love staying active, so spending time outdoors with an energetic pup is right up my alley! Most importantly, I know that your pet is family. I want every dog I care for to feel like they’re getting the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and become someone you can trust to take great care of them! I am currently working part time and have lots of free time to play and walk your pups! Because of this, I would plan my day around when they would need to be walked, fed, and played with! With having three friendly and energetic Labs at home, I am used to lots of play time and long walks. I am great at following directions and I feel confident that I can help provide a safe and loving environment for your amazing pups!

About: I have always had animals in my life. I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, birds, horses, ducks, chickens, turkeys and goats. I currently have 3 cats and a dog. For as long as I can remember animals have always been in my life! I’ve worked with animals from young kittens and puppies to seniors, I absolutely love spending time with other people’s pets along with my own. I am a college student taking classes in the summer. I am available to take care of your pet babies overnight and in the morning to afternoon to early evening I give all our cats and dog the best treatment possible, I wake up and feed them, take our dog on walks, cuddle up with the kitties while doing homework and spend the night with all of them sleeping in my bed with me (I love them so much I let them sleep on my pillow and steal 90% of the bed space😂)

Clara was absolutely fantastic! From the time she came for a meet and greet, the pets just adored her. She was so kind and loving with them. She was a wonderful communicator and was in touch with us throughout our time away. When she took care of them, she took her time, met each of their needs and shared thorough summaries that included multiple photos each visit. She was terrific and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Clara!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Dale City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dale City is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $36 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.

As of October 2026, there are 6,719 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dale City. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dale City. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% can help with daily exercise

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 , 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.
