About: I've taken care of many of my friends pets, dogs and cats when they are away. I absolutely love doing it! Pets are part of the family! I am currently working part time doing instacart so I am on the road and can stop whenever I need to let them out or take them on a walk. I am also starting school this summer so I will be available after classes as well. I usually stay over at my friend's house whenever they are gone to watch their fur babies. So they feel comfortable and safe in there own space.

“Silvia goes above and beyond. She is trustworthy, reliable, conscientious and even asks about doing extras. I have zero concerns leaving our pet babes in her capable hands”


About: I have grown up with cats and dogs, and am familiar with many other kinds of animals. I have sat for non-family/friends and well as them included many times before! I have managed taking care of 5+ pets at once, given proper meds, care, playtime, etc. This experience ranges from kittens/puppies just a few days old, to older aged animals. I work “full time” but I work around 30 hours and I have a lot of split shifts so time before or after to check-in with the pets. This looks like morning feed, going outside, if any meds or vitamins need to be taken or same with after depending on the time of day needed. Depending on circumstances of boundaries and rules of each pet, I easily find a solution and adapt if needed. I will watch your dog/cat outside or on a leash front or back of yard. If there are off-limit areas inside our outside those will be closed doors or if there’s a gate it will be put up per clients request. If there needs to be check-ins with owner that be applicable, I am attentive to my phone, when and if necessary.
“Chelsea is amazing and took wonderful care of my two kitties. They are very different cats with unique needs and she was very patient and loving towards them, as well as detail oriented. I can’t emphasize how much I appreciate her approach and care with my cats.”

“Rachel was timely and friendly and took great care to make sure our dog was fed and had water and got to spend some time outside. We appreciated her willingness to be flexible with us when our plans changed a bit. We would definitely ask her to take of our dog again in the future.”

About: My fiancé and I are pet enthusiasts who are both always in contact with the owner in case of emergency or if I need to ensure the pet receives the best care. I also have experience with young kittens who aren't litter trained as well with elderly animals that require medical care during the stay. I have a schedule for my pets already so your pet would be added to the feeding, walking, and playtime schedule. We can make adjustments based on the owners preference. We also have a large enough home that we can separate my pets from any Rovers if needed. I have a large yard with a smaller, fenced-off portion. They can be off-leash in the fenced portion or we will walk them with leashes when in the open part of our yard. We live near a lake/waterfall so we can take pets there if desired. We also are able to groom pets if the service is needed, depending on what the owner would like. I offer de-shedding, cutting nails, and baths depending on the pet's temperament.
About: Hi! I’m Sarah, and caring for animals has always been one of my biggest passions. With 17 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my family. My home is a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can relax, play, and feel right at home. I have a large, securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor play, plenty of room inside to lounge, and I always make sure every pet gets the individual attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior, I’ll follow their routine and your instructions carefully to help them feel comfortable and secure. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, so I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I can’t wait to welcome your pet into my home and treat them like one of my own! 🐾 I work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. My partner and I work opposite schedules, so there is typically someone home with your pet throughout the day. We work together to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My home sits on half an acre with a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. Pets are welcome throughout my large, pet-friendly home so they can feel comfortable and relaxed while staying with us. We live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with walking areas and a dog park nearby. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I keep boarding limited and carefully select the animals I welcome into my home. I focus on providing personalized attention and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment rather than boarding large numbers of pets at once.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,680 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.

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.
