“Kirby is the best sitter we’ve ever had for our pup! She treats our dog like her own and really puts in the effort to make sure our dog is well cared for and loved. We never had a problem with her visits. Always secures the house before leaving and always writes the funniest and perfectly detailed report cards. Please hire Kirby as your sitter. You won’t regret it!”
“Rachel was great! She was flexible and able to add more visits when a crisis came up. I really appreciated her daily pictures and updates. It put me at ease while I was away!”
“It was our first time using Kristina to watch over our pet while we were away, and it won’t be our last!! She was very sweet to our girl and our home while we were gone and felt a great piece of mind knowing our cat was in good hands. Thank you so much Kristina!”
“Elizabeth is fantastic! Clio requires special care, and Elizabeth was super communicative and comprehensive in our upfront prep, and was great during her drop-in visit to make sure everything went smoothly for Clio. She was attentive to our fur baby's needs, and Clio seemed to have a great time hanging with her! We will definitely be working with Elizabeth again!”
“Elijah is an attentive, thorough, and reliable pet sitter! One of our cats is not as social and a little more cautious around new people, but she opened up to Elijah very quickly. We always look forward to Elijah’s rover cards and notes about his visits. Thanks for looking after our furry children, Elijah!”
“Amy was absolutely amazing, I had no worries about my cats when normally I freak out leaving them. She sent amazing pictures of the cats and watered my plants. Thank you again so much!”
“Nick was great! He took great care of our cats, fish, and Guinea pig. It was wonderful receiving pics of our furry family and he even brought the mail in. I would 100% use his services again.”
“Linsey was super communicative and gave lots of attention to our two kitties over the Thanksgiving holiday. She kept an eye on things for us and kept us informed about the pets. We would highly recommend and will plan to utilize her services again in the future!”
“Holland was amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with my dogs. I loved getting updates and photos after each visit—it gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were happy and well cared for, and I’ve already rebooked with her. Highly recommend!”
“Jonathan took great care of our two cats! We were never worried while we were away and they got tons of love. We highly recommend Jonathan and plan on rebooking in the future!”
“Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!”
“Haven was absolutely wonderful with my two senior cats, Brother and Bitty. Both are on transdermal methimazole, and she handled their medication confidently and consistently. She sent two photos every morning and evening, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was reliable and reassuring, and it was clear she genuinely cared about my cats. She also went above and beyond—cleaning up cat vomit without hesitation and even turning off a TV that had accidentally been left on. Those extra details really stood out. I came home to happy, calm cats and a well-kept home. I would absolutely book Haven again and highly recommend her, especially for senior pets or those with medical needs.”
“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”
“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”
“Kacey was so great with Rosie! She made sure she had everything she needed and took lots of photos for us. Definitely recommend her for all your pets!”
About: Please ask to see my Trusted HouseSitter profile for additional reviews and information! I provide pet care in Richmond and Charlottesville and the surrounding areas, though I am also happy to travel to other states with advanced notice. I have a breadth of experience caring for my former pets and my home, as well as house and pet sitting for friends and for my clients. I grew up on a farm and cared for goats, horses, cows, dogs, cats, sheep, and poultry. I make an excellent house/petsitter due to my experience with and love for animals and my tidy and loving personality! ** I charge $45 / night for 1-6 night house stays, but have a sliding scale for longer sits (negotiable at the time of request). I am open to traveling farther distances for 1+ week sits. I am attending VCU for my MSW M-F from 8-4, so I have limited availability for midday potty breaks/check-ins during the week, but I have open availability most evenings and weekends. For boarding requests, my partner works from my home and is available to offer potty breaks/check-ins for pets while I’m at school. I’m happy with staying overnight for housesitting or sharing my home for boarding! I have the utmost care and respect for my clients pets and homes and treat them as if they were my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Highland Park
Sydney was excellent! We contacted Sydney when we needed someone to check in on our cats at the last minute. She responded quickly and was eager to help us out. She gave our older cat his medication, tended to the litter boxes, and sent us helpful updates. We will definitely be contacting Sydney again!
This was our first time using Cole as our dog walker, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was kind, reliable, and took wonderful care of our doggos. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Highland Park on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 1,196 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Highland Park. 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.

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.
