“Morgan was the perfect person for this job! She handled our cats with care, followed instructions perfectly, and her contact was immaculate. It was our great pleasure having her show up today!”

“Petra did an awesome job with our pups. As this was our first experience together, she came by a couple of times before our scheduled day so that she was totally familiar with Daisy and Chico's routine. She showed great empathy toward Daisy, who experiences great anxiety during rain events. She put the TV on for her in hopes some of the noice would be a bit of distraction. All in all the pups were well cared for, received all medications and seemed generally happy when we returned”

“We are so thankful we found Linque! She was reliable, compassionate, and took wonderful care of our shy girl Sisi. Knowing Sisi was in good hands gave our family peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Linque! We are so grateful for your kindness and exceptional care. ❤️”


“Valeria did a great job dropping by our home to visit our dog while we were away for the weekend. She showed to to every visit on time and took good care of of her.”


“Sherry is as good as it gets. She is always there when she agrees to and always send's Pics of your pets. I feel very comfortable using her as a sitter and when I have to travel again Sherry will be the first person I call....Dennis”

About: As a proud dog mom to two amazing pups a playful 1-year-old German Shepherd and a sweet 3-year-old Poodle I truly understand the energy, patience, and love dogs need at every stage. Caring for my own dogs has taught me how to handle big personalities, different temperaments, and unique routines with ease. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet snuggles, I tailor each day to your pet’s personality. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, capable hands not just being watched, but genuinely cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my stay-at-home routine, which offers me plenty of time and flexibility. I’m home often, take daily walks, and love spending my breaks giving pets extra attention. I’m a stay-at-home mom with experience caring for my two dogs a one year old German Shepherd and a three year old Poodle. I provide pets with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. Walks, playtime, and enrichment activities are part of their daily routine, and I always ensure they are fed, groomed, and happy. I treat every pet like part of my family and enjoy making their time with me fun and stress free.

“Booked last minute, same day, Leylah walked into some NOT-so-great circumstances with the task of handling a big job with other sitters cancelling. She handled with grace and I could rest assured that she took care of my kittens well!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals since a young age growing up my parents never allowed me to own a pet, so I found a passion for caring for others pets ! I have worked for family and friends with watching and grooming their pets and I’ve also watched babies and toddlers since middle school which I now would be in my 2nd year of college. I currently am not employed, but I do side hustles such as selling on depop so sometimes I’ll ship packages off, I create clothes and accessories, and I babysit. Outside of that I have a lot of free time. I will care for your fur babies by listening to them while also following your requests/schedule throughly. I have no problem with more energetic animals taking them on a walk or just any personality finding a way to accommodate.
“Nmantendi was so great! She sent pictures and videos of our pup while we were away, and kept in touch with us whenever we needed her. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve had a dog since a child, but about 5 years ago I began volunteering taking care of puppies at a local rescue in Nashville. From there, I adopted my first dog Carmelo, who I had for two years before epilepsy unfortunately shortened his life. After I healed, I began fostering dogs of all ages, mostly older just due to the need being higher. I found I have such a strong love for dogs that most don’t even reach. I wanted to be able to love old dogs who needed homes in their last days so I adopted Peppa who stayed with me until cancer won the fight. I still occasionally foster but since losing my full-time job, I have had to move to this side of things. I have pretty open availability right now. I am open for overnights. If I am able to go do some delivery for a few hours in between, that is so helpful. I follow directions to a T whether inside or out of the clients home. Providing the dog comfort, safety and familiarity is my top priority. I am not trying to raise or train your dogs. I just want to let them know that when you’re gone, they are always in good hands.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfax
Jessica was great with our two cats! She sent us thorough updates with plenty of photos, and our boys looked like they were getting spoiled. She even managed to give our aloof cat his inhaler, which he is not a fan of. I'd recommend Jessica for cat drop-ins highly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,100 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fairfax. 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.
