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.
“Boone can be a stubborn old hound and rather particular with the people he trusts. He took to Seth right away and it out my mind at ease. Seth’s experience and easy demeanor were a major stress relief for me. Communication was great and I had no worries while I was out of town. Will absolutely book again!”
“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!"”
About: I have been pet and house-sitting for over 10 years. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, from a chihuahua to a Leonberger. As well as a variety of other animals, including cats, chickens, bunnies, and fish. I have experience with all ages, young, middle-aged, and senior animals. I like to think of myself as a green thumb and will happily take care of gardens and houseplants! I'm new to town for graduate school and looking for a part-time job that fits my school schedule (Online classes in the evening two days a week). I am available for plenty of time with pets and watching over a home. I am available for day visits to play, walk, or get belly rubs. I am also available for overnight stays for pets who need extra care and attention!
“Katherine was great about showing up consistently at the agreed-upon times and accommodating all my instructions and requests. I was able to enjoy my time away free from worry, knowing that my cats were being well cared for. Would happily hire her again.”
“Sheila was timely with her visits and demonstrated care with our cat who has separation anxiety. Her hours of availability are second to none and her services really assured us that our cat was in good hands. I'd recommend Sheila to anyone who needed their cat watched.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfax Station
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!
Wow, Jing. Thank you so much for the care and extra attention to detail. The pictures of their littler box, food bowls, and water bowls were so comforting. The pictures you took of our cats and the thorough descriptions of how they were doing were much appreciated. Thank you so much, again! It was a pleasure to meet you!
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 .
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 Station. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
