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.

About: Not only did I grow up with 2-3 dogs in the house, but my mom has worked for a dog rescue the last 10 years. My family has fostered more than 100 dogs ranging from newborn puppies to end of life care for senior dogs. I have helped with everything from feeding, cleaning, creating enrichment, and exercising dogs of all sizes and ages. I am currently taking time off of work before I move abroad for graduate school in September so am completely flexible! I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets health and happiness! I have a fenced in yard and two super docile and friendly spayed female dogs who have also spent extensive time with other dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I also have spent a lot of time caring for other people’s pets in their homes without issue.

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!

Erin did a great job with my cat! She was very responsive, made sure he got some good attention and playtime, and cleaned up at least one mess! Also, the photos she sent me were amazing - I annoyed everyone in my family by making them gather around to see the batch of photos from Erin every day 😂 I have a feeling this will not be the last time my cat gets to hang out with Erin.

About: I have loved dogs since I was a kid! I recently have been working as a nanny and that has involved light care for pets as well, my current duties are walking the two dogs and feeding them treats and filling water bowls. I am very loving and caring. My previous job involved feeding and letting the pup out in the back yard to play and to help keep track of certain habits due to the dog having food allergies. I am so fond of animals as a whole that my future goal is to buy a house with lots of land and do free lance dog boarding! I would love to help your family with your pet’s needs! Hope to work with you soon!

About: When I was younger I took care of dogs for a few different people and later on helped take of my families pet cat for around two years. I’m currently unemployed and saving for college so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I’m open to most hours and am available any day of the week. When I had my families cat I’d make sure any food he couldn’t eat didn’t drop on the floor and I’d make sure he had clean water/clean food. I’d brush him and stuff like that. When I was dog sitting I’d take them for walks, when we were home I’d make sure they’d eat and are comfortable.

About: Your dog will be on vacation and will enjoy long walks, play time and relaxation while in my care. I can text daily pictures (if requested) and give your dog a bath before the end of their stay. I love taking care of dogs and know they will enjoy staying at my house with me. I've have been pet sitting since the 7th grade and have been the go to pet sitter for friends and family. I also watched bunnies, dogs, cats, fish, birds, hamsters and guinea pig just to name a few. I was a volunteer at the Fairfax county animal shelter for 8 months and have also worked at Petsmart. I love pets and can't wait to watch your pet. I work full time but have a flexible schedule to adjust to the times needed for dog walking/sitting to ensure they are taken care of. I also don't work on the weekend. I am available for house sitting too. I have a small fenced in yard but dogs will be going on walks with me and always in the home where they can be cozy and comfortable. If your dog love the beach let me know and they can join me on my morning walks.

Carolyn responded with calm when it appeared Sassafras was missing. She didn’t stop searching until Sassafras was found stuck behind the washing machine. I am very grateful for her competency in a scary moment.

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.
