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.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have been dog sitting and walking for over 10 years. I truly love spending time with dogs and getting to know each pup’s unique personality and needs. I’m reliable, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, companionship, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I work full time, but I have flexibility and am able to get away for pet care when needed. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have over 10 years of experience dog sitting and walking, so I’m comfortable working with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I take being dependable and providing loving care very seriously. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I live in a very walkable neighborhood and enjoy taking dogs on regular walks and getting them plenty of exercise and fresh air. I’m happy to adjust walks and activities based on each dog’s energy level and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾❤️

“Beth was wonderful with Mowgli and Miles our 2 indoor cats! It was so nice to be able to have them in their own environment! Beth took great care of them and we are extremely grateful to have found her! We will definitely asked her to watch them again! 5 stars!”

About: I have had my own dogs in the past, but now I just to love on any doggo I see. If I see a dog in a car when I am driving I am that person who is squealing with excitement. I work 3 12 hr shifts and get lonely on my days off. I would love to walk your dog and love on them like they are my own. If your dog is with me I have a fully fenced yard. I love to spoil pups so if they come home with a new toy that is from me.
“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”

“I had to unexpectedly request a last boarding for my 9 week old kitten for the weekend and Brandie responded within the hour of my request. She sent me sooo many pictures of my kitty throughout the weekend and really put me at ease and did a great job. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with 6 years of professional pet-sitting experience. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I love caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering medication, exercise needs, and senior pet care. I always provide photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and aim to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Hi! I’m Mallory! I’m enrolled in college online which has opened up my schedule to be able to take care of your pups! I love pets of all kind so pet sitting is the perfect activity to partake in durning my free time! I also have access to military bases! I currently have a 8 year old Great Dane( Minnie ) and 2 kitties named Louie and Lizzy!

Louie and Lizzy also enjoy there time outside, they mostly stay inside but when it’s nice enough outside they stroll on our outside porch. All of the things I do for my pets, I would do for yours.
“I was out of town two weekends in a row and was happy to find a sitter close by. They were very responsive to all my messages, and gave me constant updates! I felt very assured that my babies were in good hands while I was out of state ☺️ Would definitely recommend them and will likely request them again for future travels!”


About: I grew up in a large family with many pets. We had five dogs and two cats growing up, and I have had my own pets since. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats over the years, though I just moved back to Washington, so I have no pets at the moment. I currently have open availability and am able to provide visits or stay over at clients homes to care for pets. I’m able to arrange arrival and departure to fit your schedule. I am able to fit whatever needs the client has. If your pets are accustomed to being out and about in the home, I can spend time with them that way. I also am able to use kennels for feeding or sleeping if that’s what they are used to. I’m comfortable keeping things tidy and making sure it’s a safe and clean space for them to hang out.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for seniors, special-needs pets, anxious animals, and pets who need oral medications or a little extra patience. I’m big on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and all the little things they’re used to at home. Some pets want to be attached to your hip, while others need time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I have two cats of my own and have had cats throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable with cat care as well as dogs. I’m used to everything from easygoing pets to the stubborn, mischievous, and “will absolutely eat that if you turn around for two seconds” variety. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll pay attention to your instructions, keep you updated, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I spend most of my free time at home and have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime and company. We always start the day with a morning walk before I head to work, and I’m usually home by 3pm for the rest of the afternoon and evening. When I’m not home, my husband usually is, so there’s typically someone around to keep an eye on things and give your pet some company. I can sometimes accommodate short-notice requests, and I live right next to two parks in a safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. My home is kept pretty pet-safe — my two cats are professional troublemakers, so they’ve made sure we don’t leave much out that curious pets can get into. It’s just my husband and me at home, so there aren’t lots of unfamiliar people coming and going. We have a fully fenced backyard, and the house is mostly hardwood and tile, so scratches, muddy paws, and normal pet messes aren’t something I stress about. If your pet needs their own space, they can also have an entire room to themselves for a quiet, comfortable place to relax.
“Aeja did an incredible job with our drop-in visits! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of our dogs. We loved receiving updates and photos, and it was obvious our pups were happy and comfortable with her. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with her again! 🐾💙”

About: I have experience watching many different types of dogs and cats. I have fostered a puppy as well as dog sat for many different breeds and ages.

I just moved up to Washington and am looking for a full time job so I have lots of flexibility and free time! I also love animals and would love to explore more parts of washington as well! I have experience with many different animals and owners. So I’m open to different types of care just let me know your needs and I’m happy to accommodate them!!!

“Wonderfully detailed updates, very thorough and included information I had not even thought about. I felt good about everything the whole time we Winnie was looking after our cats, and would not hesitate to recommend Winnie.”
“Anna was a phenomenal pet sitter, and we will not hesitate to hire her again! First, and most importantly, our animals were well cared for. We appreciated the updates, and photos and videos Anna sent. All of their daily tasks were taken care of and we came home to clean pens and litter boxes. She also treated our house with such respect. It was so nice to get home and have happy animals and a clean house.”
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a Midwest girl originally from Chicago who now calls the beautiful Pacific Northwest home! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t imagine life without them! As a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. I also have firsthand experience caring for senior pets, so I know the importance of patience, attentiveness, and a little extra TLC as our furry friends get older.

I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and of course, I’m a huge cat lover, too! I’m friendly, dependable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,693 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
