“Thank You Lauren!! She cared for my 5-month-old kitty, Lavender when I needed to take a last minute out of town. She stepped in and was completely transparent as she sent me reports and pictures of their time together. Lavender looked happy, relaxed, and playful. When I returned home, Lavender was happy, healthy, and engaged. I definitely recommend Lauren to care for your little furry family when you are away.”
About: I’ve always taken care of neighbors and friends dogs growing up and I take my own dogs on long walks at the park and make sure to feed them the best food we can. I love giving them baths and training them! I’m currently working a weekday job from 12 to 4 so early mornings, evenings and weekends I’m completely available to watch your creatures or/critters I have two dogs who enjoy just under an acre of fenced in yard, my husky loves to hunt lizards but my Aussie always scares them off!
“Sydney was lovely from start to finish. She had to deal with our faulty front door lock and handled it like a breeze. When we returned home everything was clean and our cat seemed to be oblivious to our absence. Would definitely rebook!”
“Bella is so sweet and attentive with our fur babies! She treats animals with love and respect and is a great communicator so I always know how things are going. So blessed to have found her!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, including my own pets as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. Since I can take my computer with me and also work from my phone, I’m able to accommodate daytime visits and spend quality time with your pets in their own home. This gives me plenty of flexibility for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, and any household rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure. Since I work remotely, I can spend plenty of time with your pet and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

Upon request, I can purchase whatever specific food or litter supplies your cat specifically likes if pets are gonna board in my home. I follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention, and always clean up after them updating you with photos after every event.
“I had a last minute request and Julieth was very accommodating and sweet! She booked a meet and greet with me and came with the best energy. She took good care of my Milo and could tell by the photos alone that he was very comfortable while I was away. Will definitely book again!”

In addition to my veterinary experience, I have several years of experience providing pet sitting and house sitting services in my hometown.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I can remember buttt I’ve legitimately only had 2 paying customers this year! But I’ve always taken care of dogs growing up and even have a dog now! I have classes from 11-3 so any other time than that would fit into my schedule perfectly!! I’m not too picky and if I can’t do the job I’m willing to be either flexible or completely honest with you I usually just follow the orders of the parents! I have a dog too so I know how they can be 😂 I take them on walks and play with them as much as I can!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, from large working dogs to little Yorkies, cats, and even cattle growing up. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including dog sitting, cat sitting, feeding, walks, and general daily care. I’ve had firsthand experience dealing with pet health issues, including feline kidney stones, so I understand the importance of paying attention to an animal’s behavior and individual needs. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have a pretty flexible schedule with advance notice! I’m an early riser, enjoy staying active, and love spending time with animals. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I’m always happy to have some furry company. If your pet requires constant supervision or has separation anxiety, please let me know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly. I prefer meeting pets and their owners beforehand whenever possible. It’s important for me to understand your pet’s personality, routines, and any household rules. Your home, your rules! I’ll respect your instructions, keep your pet’s environment safe and comfortable, and communicate with you throughout their stay or visit. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable with me.
“Sarah was great. She was able to take over when we had a last minute emergency need for a live-in cat sitter, and we came home to find our cats relaxed and our house clean and well taken care of. She was responsible and responsive and sent us regular updates. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have been in the game of pet/house sitting since 2020. I have done most of my pet/house sits through TrustedHouseSitters but I’m happy to be here now. I am happy to provide any and all references, as well as chatting with you to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I will work around your schedule and whatever works best for you and your pet(s). We can communicate and strategize to see how we can best achieve this. Safety is my main my priority. I want to ensure your home and pets are safe and comfortable while under my care. I will follow every rule and guideline and any actions that need to be taken to ensure a safe but fun environment. I will always treat your home and pet(s) with respect and as if they were my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fitzhugh
We had a great experience with Kimberlee. She was reliable, professional, and thorough while looking after our very skittish kitty, Mia. She sent photo updates of each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She also took care of our houseplants, fed the birds outside and refilled the hummingbird feeder. Highly recommend Kimberlee!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Exceptional Care Olivia took care of our Siamese, Bailey, for five days over the Christmas holiday, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the very beginning, she made sure Bailey had every creature comfort and treated her with so much patience and respect. She sent plenty of photos for our peace of mind, and she took the time to truly understand Bailey’s personality and routines—which made us feel completely confident in her care. She also went above and beyond—thoroughly cleaning Bailey’s litter box and keeping everything spotless. It was a blessing to find someone this attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in our pet’s well‑being. We will absolutely be rebooking Olivia any time we need a Rover. She is truly outstanding.
Brian was an excellent sitter. He was very attentive to the needs of our kitties. He gave detailed summaries after each visit and sent great pictures. Scout, Rover and Abigail were well cared for and happy when we returned. I would highly recommend Brian’s services and plan to use him again when for our next trip!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Fitzhugh is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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.

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 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.
