“Abigail was a wonderful Petsitter! She was so communicative and easy to work with. I felt very reassured that my cat was in good hands! I would have no hesitation booking her again.”

About: Hi! My name is Natasha (formally), but I go by Natalie or Nat. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old alongside working in a veterinary hospital. I am willing to administer medications if need be and am happy to spend as much time with your furry friend as necessary! Let me know how I can help you help them. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to prioritize each pet’s individual needs. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, or weekend care. I enjoy building a consistent routine for the pets I care for so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines that help pets feel at ease. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space by keeping everything clean and secure, providing regular updates and photos, and ensuring their pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care.
“I highly recommend Hue Man! From the start, she was very attentive, making sure all of my pups routines were followed. She was very punctual, communicated clearly, and treated my pups like her own. I will definitely be booking again!"”
“Ella did an amazing job with my tuxedo cat! She sat and played with her-gave her treats-scooped the litter box-even managed to brush her a little! Tazz only comes out for those that she trusts- Ella was patient and kind and took her time with her. I will be booking again! Highly recommend this young lady!!!”
“Michael was prompt and responsive and took great care of Mindy, adjusting to her needs. There were a couple unexpected surprises along the way - one major one which we also did not expect while away - and that was gardeners in the back yard…which Mindy wasn’t very happy with - but Michael swooped in and dealt with it as well as he could, and remained professional. From the pictures, Mindy seemed to enjoy their time together. We would invite Michael back again!”
About: Responsible graduate student and lover of all animals. Happy to spend time with your cat or dog and will show them the love and care I’d show my own pet! I’m a full time PhD student but my mornings are typically flexible. I have plenty of time for walks and spending time with your pets. If anything, it’s also a nice study break for me! I had a beloved poodle for 16 years and he was like a brother. I show every animal the same love I gave my sweet dog.
About: Over the past 7 years I’ve lived with two dogs and two cats with occasional Forster Care for dogs. Unfortunately, I don’t have pet of my own at the moment - hence, looking to share some love when taking care of your pets! I’m currently on a hybrid work schedule, allowing me to have flexibility with your pup’s needs for daily routine as well as drop off/pick up times! On weekend, we typically stay around the area. No pets of my own at the moment, means all the love and care will be dedicated to your fur baby! We don’t have furniture restrictions unless you wish me to keep your pup off the furniture. Using single flight of stairs to get outside.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for friends, family and my own dog over the years. I’m good with daily walks, feeding, simple meds and keeping to your routine. I keep things easy and send updates so you always know how they are doing! I’m currently in between jobs and my husband works from home. Plenty of time for great walks and play dates! We have a dog ourselves and he’s very friendly with other dogs/cats. I follow pets usual routine as closely as possible. I keep things calm and predictable, give them plenty of attention and make sure they get enough exercise and bathroom breaks!
“Becky is great to work with and does a great job with coordination, planning and of course care of the pets. I hope to call on Becky again for our next trip away. I would highly recommend trusting her with your pets and home. Thanks again Becky.”
“Kimberley was the best pet sitter for my little sweets, Pumpkin! She responded to the inquiry quickly, came over same day to meet me, and took lots of pictures and left great updates each morning after dropping by. I felt very comfortable with her and could tell Pumpkin did too. I will definitely book with her again 🫶🏼”
“Breidy was absolutely fantastic with my cat, Odin. She visited him a total of nine times while I was away and took exceptional care of him on each visit. She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. I always felt at ease knowing she was checking in — her updates and photos were thoughtful and consistent, and it was clear Odin felt safe around her. I would highly recommend Breidy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dependable cat sitter. Odin and we are both grateful for her excellent care!”

Sonia was great! My nervous senior cat took to her easily, and I knew she was in great hands while we were away. Sonia made sure she had everything she needed, and was very kind, communicative, thoughtful, and easy to work with. I recommend her and would book her again!
Jessica is the most trust worthy and patient sitter. She is so gentle with our cats and took extra care with our little girl who is nervous around people, and will scratch. Jessica is so good, our girl now wants to nuzzle and cuddle her whenever she sees her! Jessica takes time to connect with your pets and care for them as if they were her own. Truly the best sitter, I will be booking her as long as she will let me!
Jiamin was great! She checked on our two cats twice a day (hour visits) for a week while we were away. She made sure the boys were fed (which can be a tall task since they like to eat each others’ food and one gets easily distracted away from eating), played with them a ton which they need bc they are pretty active, and gave them all the pettings. She made sure the food bowls were clean after each feeding and did the litter. She also treated the house with care which we appreciate too! Highly recommend Jiamin!
Katherine did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. One is special needs and some sitters have struggled with giving him his meds, but not Katherine. She gave timely updates and was very communicative. Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future.
Ella did an amazing job with my tuxedo cat! She sat and played with her-gave her treats-scooped the litter box-even managed to brush her a little! Tazz only comes out for those that she trusts- Ella was patient and kind and took her time with her. I will be booking again! Highly recommend this young lady!!!
Matt is an exceptional pet sitter who has taken care of our cats several times over the years. He has gone above and beyond to make it through snowy and icy weather and check on the animals despite the hazardous conditions. He and his wife Carolina are our go-to sitters.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fairfax on Rover is $20 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,210 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairfax. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
