“Ed is a very nice person who took extremely good care of my little son. My first time leaving him alone but Ed followed all instructions and sent me great pics! Would use his services again.”
“Shaylee went above and beyond in caring for my pets while I was away for work. She made sure they stayed clean and dry while we had several days in a row of rain. She provided great feedback every day, ensuring I knew my fur friends were in good hands. She even took extra time to check in on my chickens and make sure they had shelter from the weather. I am so thankful to have such a great person available to look after my animals!”
“Caroline was a great sitter! She took great care of our dog while we were at our wedding. She gave us peace of mind about our pup when we had a million other things going on! We would certainly use her services again.”
“Amelie was amazing! She was clear, organized, and took the best care of my pup all while providing the cutest updates. I would recommend her to anyone and definitely will be using her again!!!”
About: I’ve owned many dogs over my lifetime. From a Min Pin to Collies, Retrievers and Pointers. I have taken care of friends and relatives animals while they were out of town. I have done long time sits (several weeks) to daily drop ins. I’m retired so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I love taking walks and getting to know each animal whether it’s to come hang out and play, feed etc or take for long or short walks. I don’t have any dogs or cats living with me now due to my landlord not allowing pet ownership. They don’t mind if I bring a dog here for short periods.
“Yana is great! She was scheduled for a drop in for my dogs. They loved her and she gave attention to my cat as well (not that he gives anyone a choice). The dogs were happy and worn out when I got home. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Madelyn is amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little apprehensive because my pup can be feisty and temperamental. Madelyn was super accommodating, calm, and professional. She sent great pictures and definitely put my mind at ease while I was on vacation. Will 100% be using her again!”
“From the start, Erin was amazing! She worked with our schedule and did such a wonderful job with our pups! They were so happy when we came home and we could tell they were really well cared for while we were gone. Erin kept us up to date on their daily activities and sent us lots of pictures 🙂 It was awesome seeing how much fun they were having and it really helped us to relax. Erin even straightened up the puppy blankets and brought in our mail! She is the best!!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and love to bond with them. Family and friends have let me pet sit for years and who doesn’t love hanging out with a cute dog. I am currently a part time student and in my off I go on walks and play with my own dog at home. I also go to dog parks to play with my two dogs. I will keep eyes on your pets and play with them and get their energy out. I will also make sure your pet has a new best friend.
“Karlee is a great sitter! She’s super friendly and responsive to visits. She’s done a great job at doing house visits for my puppy to tire him out and keep him engaged when I’m busy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kelsie was amazing dropping in to check on our guinea pigs while we were away for several days. She was consistent with her timing, did great cleaning, and made sure everyone had hay/water/etc. Highly recommend her for small pets!”
“My dog had such a great time with Bertie while I was on vacation, she probably didn’t even notice I was gone. Seeing the pictures of their day together made me happy and I will rebook in the future!”
“Natalie is an excellent pet sitter. She has taken exceptional care of our kitty over the last few months, including this booking. Not a worry at all when our kitty is in her care. Will not hesitate to book again!”

“Ted and his son were absolutely phenomenal! They went above and beyond to take care of my 3 cats while I was away. We can have peace of mind while traveling knowing that such great people have their eye on things back home ?”
“Cate is now an honorary part of the family. When we got home from a week-long trip, our pets weren’t even excited to see us. That is a true testament to how amazing, loving, and thoughtful she is. I am just relieved for our pets’ sake that they get to see her again in a few weeks.”
“Mitch was very communicative and on point with drop in visits for my cat Comet. She can take some time to acclimate to new people and she warmed up to him pretty quickly! Would happily book with Mitch again.”
“Amy was quick to respond and was available when I made my request at the last minute. This is the second time Amy has watched my cats and I will happily ask her to cat sit again.”

I'm always nervous leaving my cat alone when I'm gone so I was very stressed about all the travel I had to do for the holidays. Chelsea was fantastic and it was clear after the first day that I had nothing to worry about. I would definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 422 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Earlysville. 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 Earlysville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
