“Jing was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, Kiki. She provided updates and went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend Jing and would book in the future.”
About: I love caring for all kinds of animals! 🐾 I’m comfortable looking after pets with all sorts of personalities, routines, and special needs. Whether it’s taking an energetic dog on a walk, giving a cat some much needed cuddles, keeping small pets fed and comfortable, or simply making sure an animal has company while their person is away, I’m happy to help! I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. ❤️ I have time for work I’m looking to make enough money to move out of my parents house and be able to afford basic living expenses I spend a lot of time taking care of my pets. I walk the dogs, clean up their poop, I also feed them multiple times a day. I also spend several hours a day holding or cuddling my clingy cat and caring for her needs as well.
“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!”
“Caroline was so kind and helpful. She worked over the Christmas holidays so we could visit family. She was in communication during the entire time of her visit and went above and beyond...bringing our mail in as well as taking the trash out! My fluffies are scaredy cats (pun intended), but she was still able to catch glimpses. I couldn't recommend her more!”
“Katherine was fantastic and really cared for our 3 kitty cats. We have not gone away for the past 3 years since we took over Izzy and Blue...now we can start doing some going away more often.”
“Kimberly was great with our cat! Great communication and did everything we asked. We had a water leak issue happen during the sitting and she helped with that too. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have pet sit for family and friends since I was 16. I can do drop in visits or stay at the home with them. I also worked at a dog boarding facility and have experience with many dogs at all ages. I’m currently only babysitting during the week so I have plenty of time for your pet. I can also drop in during the day to let them out and hang out with them. I will gladly stay with your dog and ensure they have plenty of play time and outside time. I know it’s important for them to get their energy out so I will make sure to spend a good amount of time playing with them.
“Katrina was awesome! She left me great messages and photos. Even though my cat was so skittish, he never really came out for her, she's still trying to get a picture of him every time so I could see him.. She cleaned up everything when he decided he was going to make a mess. I would highly recommend her and I will use her again.”
“Jessica is an EXCELLENT pet sitter! She’s wonderful with my kitties and they loved her visits. She’s spent a lot of time carding for them and playing with them giving each individual attention. My kitties are very messy too and I expect and don’t mind coming home to some fur and litter that are tracked around. Jessica went above and beyond cleaning up after my messy kitties and the house looked great! She’s fantastic and we will be setting up future visits when we travel. So nice to know our kitties are in good hands when we are out of town.”
“We were very happy with the care and professionalism Hue Man D showed our 2 cats. She would be our first call next time we go out of town. I’m confident anyone would be happy with here work. Gary”
“Cynthia was great. Really conscientious and experienced. She took care of my two cats while I was away for Thanksgiving. Sent pictures and reports for each visit. When I came back the cats food area and litter were clean and organized. I highly recommend her.”
“Sheila is the best! She has cared for our 2 cats a lot over the past two years and goes the extra mile for us. On our recent trip to overseas, the key that we left her broke, and she couldn't access the house, and was willing to help get a locksmith to help with entry! She is always prompt with her communications and puts us at ease when we leave. We don't even feel like we need to check for updates because we know Sheila is there! She has always offered to care for them further if our flights are delayed! We feel very lucky that we found Sheila through Rover and can't recommend her enough!”
“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!!!”
“Seth was absolutely amazing! The constant communication and the daily pictures and videos he sent make you very comfortable. When I came home everything was clean for my cat and left the place just like how we left it. I would definitely recommend Seth as I will be booking him more for the future”
“Misa was an amazing cat sitter to our kitties! She showered them with love, attention, pets and playtime which is so appreciated by both the pets and pet parents! I really appreciated how quickly she’d respond to me and the fact that she sent daily updates, pictures and videos. I truly did not stress at all about my cats care while traveling and that is huge for me. We will definitely be using Misa again. The cats loved her and she even quickly won over our nervous shy kitty. Misa is amazing! 😻”
“Rebecca is my go-to pet sitter for my kitten. I can tell that my pet loves being around her while I’m away. Rebecca us very reliable and is very flexible in scheduling last-minute accommodations.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfax Station
Katherine did an amazing job watching my two kittens! It was the first time I had left them, and I felt very reassured they were being cared for and were well loved while I was gone. I appreciated that her updates about her drop ins included information about their wellbeing (food, water, litter box, etc) as well as their behavior (playing, cuddling, etc.). I would definitely recommend booking Katherine for watching your pets!
Jing is a fantastic sitter. She asked lots of questions before getting started and took good care of my kitties while I was away for a long weekend. She is thoughtful and thorough and my babies loved her. Jing spent time playing with them after feeding and troubleshooted a litter robot malfunction (ugh!) and created a makeshift litter box that my kitties were able to use until I got home. That was above and beyond what I could have requested help with. This is the first time I've used Rover and I'll use this service again and hopefully Jing will be available.
Jiamin was amazing!! She was super helpful, I had notes on what had to be done, and she went above and beyond to care for my two cats. It was clear she cared for them and loved them too. And she kept us updated with all the details and pics/vireos, really made our time away much more enjoyable knowing my cats were in good hands 🥰
Tamara watched our three cats for a weekend and did a great job! She made sure they were fed, pet, and played with while we were away and also gave one of our cats a pill with every meal (and made sure the pill was taken). She followed our care directions and took great care in our home!
I traut Mariel with all of my pets and home visits. I have left my dog twice and have also had her take care of my cats while i was away. She is easy to communicate with, shows genuine love for your pets, and always seams to go above and beyond. Someone you can count on for all the issues that can come up. Strongly recommend her to anyone!
Forest is always the first person we will go to when we need someone to watch our cat! They’ve taken the time to build a great rapport with him so he trusts them enough to take his meds and food every time. We always come back to a clean home and a calm happy cat!
Jenesis exceeded our expectations when caring for our cat during daily visits. We appreciate her kindness and communication, particularly how she left us a status note for each day when sending photos of our pet. We will not hesitate to reach out to her in the future!

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 .

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 Meet & Greet .
