“Samantha was absolutely incredible with my cat Cleo this weekend. She always texted with updates and provided so many pictures and videos. I felt so much peace knowing that my cat was well loved while I was gone.”
“Daniella did such a great job caring for my 2 slightly nervous kitties. They seemed to get comfortable around her very quickly and communication and updates were amazing and very appreciated! It’s clear she helped them feel safe and happy and I would definitely book with her again.”
“William started weekly stop ins for my dog Dakota and working with him has been fantastic. He’s responsive and professional and very sweet with my dog. Dakota looks forward to her walks.”
“Somaya is great! One of my doggos threw up and she was very responsive, gave great detail, and cleaned it up. Doggos is fine and she also followed up later in the night to confirm he was still okay. Def recommend!”
About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through spending time with my girlfriend’s cat, Boba, and helping her take care of her. I also regularly help care for my brother’s three dogs by taking them outside to use the bathroom, giving them time to play, and occasionally taking them on walks. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are cared for. I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and responsible when looking after someone’s pets, and I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give to the animals in my own life. I am currently serving on active duty in the Marine Corps and stationed in Virginia. I am typically available on weekdays after 5 PM and have more flexibility on weekends. I will communicate clearly with pet parents to coordinate schedules and make sure their pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I prioritize making sure the pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience helping care for my girlfriend’s cat, Boba, and my brother’s three dogs. I will follow each pet parent’s instructions, pay attention to their pet’s needs, and provide regular updates. Whether we are going for walks, playing outside, or spending time together.
“Aly is great and very trustworthy! Meet and greet went great and she took care of my cat very well during a trip I had to take. Went above and beyond to try and get through very inclement weather to give my cat some medication as well. Very responsive and provided great updates. Could always rely on her! Definitely booking again!”
“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Andrea was incredibly sweet with our cat and took such great care of her while we were away. She did everything we asked—and then went above and beyond! Communication was amazing throughout, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands.

“Daniella did great with checking in on our dogs! They seemed to enjoy their walks with her and didn't have any issues. She left good notes about her visits and was easy to communicate with. We needed additional care for the week and she was willing and able to continue helping out, which was greatly appreciated! I would highly recommend Daniella and rebook her.”
“Nadia is wonderful! Our cats warmed up to her immediately - even the cat that is normally very skittish. Her updates and photos were great, and I had no worries at all during our trip. I would highly recommend Nadia!”
“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 taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was a teen. I currently volunteer at the animal shelter and pet-sit for friends and family when needed. I currently work from home with flexible hours so I am able to accommodate your schedule and your dogs needs whether that’s going on walks or general care. I live in a dog-friendly community with ample space and dog parks for your fur baby to run around! I can crate your dog if needed.
About: I have taken care of our family cat, Pepper, as well as friend's cats since I was 17. After our beloved Pepper passed last October, I wanted to continue caring for other's kitties to keep honor his memory. I can change and clean litter, brush their fur and teeth, clip their nails (depending on comfortability), play with a variety of toys, and provide cuddles as needed. I'm currently studying part-time, so I have a lot of availability to watch over or come visit your kitties! My best days are Monday - Wednesday after 4pm, as well as weekend mornings from 12pm-3pm. This is flexible and other times can be arranged! I'm a patient person who can wait as long as needed if cats need time to warm up, and I respect their boundaries (no picking up or petting if they don't want it, avoiding no-touch areas, etc). If some kitties adhere to a special routine or have special accommodations, I'm more than happy to follow that.
“Let me start this off by saying my animals are my babies and they are my world! From the moment this young lady walked into my home. I knew they would be in good hands! I have a house full. On this visit, Peyton was taking care of four cats and one very rambunctious dog. She handled it like a champ and my dog and my cats still look for her after her visit. I needed she was there, anything I needed to change Without batting and I she did it. She’s very warm, very loving and very responsible! My fur babies loved her! If you’re looking for someone That you can leave with your babies and not look back knowing that they are very well taken care of then definitely Peyton is your gal! We we’re gone for an extended period of time and I have never left my dog ever. Actually I don’t think she even noticed I was gone lol. We love Peyton and would love to put her in one of our suitcases and take her to Florida with us! Thank you sweetheart for doing an amazing job and I know five little fur babies that are going to miss you very much! We will Definitely spread the word and you will be our go to Gal When and if we ever come back to Virginia’💜💜”

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! She was wonderful with Lollie and kept me updated with great communication while I was away. The best part was that Lollie really seemed to like her, and that’s always a good sign! It gave me peace of mind knowing Lollie was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using her again for future trips. Thank you for taking such great care of Lollie!
Aneesa was absolutely AMAZING!!! I cannot thank her enough for the hard work my furry children put her through!!! 😅 She chased and wrangled the bunnies around the house who kept finding ways to escape and was extremely patient with my old man pup who was aggressively protective for the first couple of days, and eventually became great friends after a while! I was so stressed about the chaos as I was away but Aneesa kept calm and had everything under control as well as kept coming up with new ideas to keep things under control until the next check in. She’s so sweet she even took my trash bin back from the road and brought in all my packages that arrived at my doorstep. I would 10000000% recommend her for any of your fur baby needs while you’re away!
If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. This was our first time requesting pet care from a service and Ivor patiently walked us through it. From the initial meet and greet our pets were drawn to her, which doesn't often happen with new people. We felt so relaxed on our trip knowing our pets were in such safe and calming hands. Already planning to rebook with her!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dumfries is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $32 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.

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.

- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
