“Erin was wonderful with my cat! She was attentive, followed all care instructions, and clearly has a great understanding of cat behavior. As any cat parent knows, not all sitters understand the importance of letting cats approach on their own terms, but Erin absolutely does. My cat warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot! I highly recommend Erin and would happily book with her again.”
“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”
“Alexa had good communication and provided great care for my cat while I was away! She made sure my cat got her medicine and social interaction each day, giving me some peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”
About: I currently work part-time about four days a week, usually from 9–3 or 10–3, and my work hours are fairly flexible as well. Outside of those hours, my schedule is pretty flexible and I have plenty of availability for cat sitting, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I’m also happy to work around your cat’s normal routine and feeding schedule as much as possible. Cats are creatures of routine, so whenever possible, I recommend having them cared for in their own home while their owners are away. Being able to stay in a familiar environment with their usual smells, hiding spots, and routine can help make the experience less stressful for them. When I’m caring for your cat, I try to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, litter, medications, playtime, and anything else that’s part of their normal day. I’m also very careful around doors and entryways, especially with cats who are curious or like to try to sneak outside. I’ll respect your cat’s space and let them decide how much interaction they’re comfortable with rather than forcing attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you can see how they’re doing.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in middle school and love spending time with them! I love having conversations with them and learning their personalities :( I currently work a full time job and I am only available on weekends. My weekends are typically completely free so my schedule is very flexible and I can be an early riser or a night owl! I am used to having to give space when they are anxious or being high energy to match their excitement. I always approach them with a soft tone to know that they are safe and I love giving treats to win their hearts over!

I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and feels comfortable with me, and I’m happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. Since I’m in school and only working part time, I have plenty of flexibility and free time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and consistent care. I enjoy using that time to be active and spend it with pets, so it’s a perfect fit for me. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and secure. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean space with plenty of attention, playtime, and care as if they were my own.

My experiences include: dogs of all sizes and ages, and cats of all ages! I travel often but have the time to fit house sitting and pet sitting into my schedule. I’m available weekdays and weekends for whatever you need help with! I follow any instructions given to a fault and enjoy teaching animals new tricks if allowed.

About: Hello! Looking to receive some extra money through my love of pets! My family had a golden doodle for the last 10 years of life, moving to Virginia, I haven’t been able to spend much time with him and he has since passed. While I don’t see myself getting a dog anytime soon, I’d love to spend my free time loving on dogs who need some extra company while their owners are out! I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and have had no issues as long as they are loving and friendly. I hope you take interest in my profile, feel free to text or call me at any time, I usually respond right away or within the hour. Thank you! Im currently working full-time until 3pm. I can take your dog out for a walk during afternoons or evenings, most weekends can work as well! I also have summers off for me free time to spend time with your animals! If I’m dog-sitting, I do prefer to do it at the owners home since I live in an apartment, but ensure to give them tons of love and affection while there.
About: Hi! I’m Laura, a veterinarian from Colombia with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly love. Because of my veterinary background, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs. I can also help with basic medications and special care when needed. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and I always take the time to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pet with love, respect, and plenty of attention. 🐾❤️ I currently work four days a week with a rotating schedule, usually from 8 AM to 6 PM. My days off vary each week, but I have good availability on my days off for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care. I’m also available in the evenings after work on some days. I’m happy to coordinate with each pet parent’s schedule and provide reliable, loving care for their pets. 🐾❤️. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a veterinarian, I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats and understanding their individual needs and behaviors. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where your pet can feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. ❤️🐾
“She was absolutely wonderful! She communicated with us carefully and thoroughly about our cats’ needs and made sure she understood all the details of their care. She always arrived as scheduled and was very attentive to how our cats were doing during each visit. We really appreciated how thoughtful and reliable she was. Our cats became fond of her very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with her! We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for years and currently have three of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with cats of different personalities, including shy, playful, independent, and very affectionate cats. I’m attentive to their individual routines and personalities and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, food, fresh water, playtime, and clean litter while you’re away. Although most of my personal experience is with cats, I also love dogs and would be happy to care for them as well. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re apart. I work most days, so I plan to schedule pet care around my work hours and only accept bookings that fit well with my availability. I want to make sure I have enough time to give each cat the attention and care they need rather than rushing through a visit. For drop in visits, I’m happy to come to the owner’s home while they’re away to feed their cats, refresh their water, clean their litter box, and spend some time playing with them or giving them attention. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing while you’re gone. I’ll make sure we go over the cat’s usual routine beforehand so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them.
About: We’re a husband-and-wife team with a lifelong love of animals and years of experience caring for both dogs and cats—especially rescues. We’ve worked with anxious and reactive pets, administered medications, and provided the extra attention they need to feel safe and comfortable. Our own family includes a 65lb rescue Foxhound and a rescue tabby cat, so we understand the quirks and joys that come with rescue pets. Audrey works from home full time, and Shane is a teacher, which means we have a flexible schedule and your pets won’t be left alone. We’ll make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved like our own. Audrey works from home full time and Shane is a teacher, so someone will be home with your pet at all times. We make it a priority to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Our typical day looks like this: 6–7 AM: Wake up, potty break in the yard, and breakfast 12–1 PM: 45-minute walk 4–5 PM: Playtime in the yard, potty break, and dinner 8–9 PM: Final potty break in the yard before bedtime For dog boarding: Our dog loves meeting and playing with other dogs, so your pup will have a built-in playmate. Our cat will always be kept in a separate room to ensure everyone’s comfort. Since Audrey works from home full time and Shane is a teacher, your dog will always have company and supervision. For cat boarding: Your cat will enjoy a private guest room set up just for them, complete with a litter box, cat tree, toys, and all the comforts they need. To help them feel secure, one of us will spend time in the room during the day—often working from there—so they’ll have companionship and attention throughout their stay.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dulles
Paige was wonderful with our cat, Lilly! This was our second time having her watch Lilly while we were away, and once again, we had a great experience. Paige is dependable, communicative, and takes great care of her. She kept us updated during our trip and gave us peace of mind knowing Lilly was in good hands. We’re so glad to have found someone we can trust and would absolutely recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Ainsley did an amazing job checking in on my cats while I was on vacation. She got to know them and was very sweet and caring. She also kept litter and food areas very clean and took good care of my home. Thank you, Ainsley! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
I couldn’t recommend Elisabeth more! Our cat is very picky and takes a while to get used to new people. Elisabeth always go above and beyond to help make Sage comfortable and that helps us enjoy our time away more! She always treats Sage to treats, play time, and extra love. She is always on time and someone we can rely on for our trips. She always includes pictures, details of the visit, and lets us know how Sage is doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Even though she came in for a simple drop in visit as I was out of the house the whole day, she still did a phenomenal job with feeding the animals, administering my cats specific medication, and walking my dog around the neighborhood! I also have a pet toad in which she helped feed him as well:) All in all, i recommend booking her for your pets!
Ellie was an amazing pet sitter! My cat Max can be a little shy with new people, but he warmed up to Ellie right away-which says everything! I would definitely book with Ellie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter.
Manasa was a huge help again! I am so grateful for her continuous communication, espeically with my dog stirring up trouble while I was away. She ensured they remained safe and continued to do everything in her power to make them comfortable. I appreciate her so much!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dulles is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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.
