About: I’m the family pet sitter because not only do I follow their routine but I make sure my sweeties are loved and entertained. I’m a nursing assistant part time so I have loads of hospitality experience! I’m a nursing assistant part time I’m usually working weekends which makes me more available during the week to stop by or even sit and entertain your sweeties! My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 3-5 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles.
“Jules is great! My cat can be shy or indifferent with strangers but got along really well with Jules. Beyond that, Jules is a good communicator and dependable. I know my cat is in good hands with her!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life, and have two dogs and a cat currently. Dog walked for friends and family in the past, and have experience with all ages of dogs I work for myself as a hairstylist and have a pretty flexible day most days, I don't work weekends so have all day availability saturday-monday and some Fridays I will drop in and spend time, play, feed, and clean litter box as needed. My availability is super flexible to make sure your pet gets the best care!
“Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!”
“Meghan was great! I really appreciated her coming over before my trip to make sure she knew how to get in, and access the food. Would definitely recommend her to others! Thank you!!”
“My two cats faired well under Amy’s watchful eye. Receiving daily visit pics while away was a great bonus serving to reassure any worries. Excellent communication and professional attitude goes a long way with me.”
About: Hi! My name is Sophia and I love to walk around and explore this city with my dog! We go on long walks and admire all of the beautiful neighborhoods and districts around us. My favorite part of the day is when I come home to my pup! And whenever I meet or get to hang out with other dogs my day is made. I just love to be around animals and learning how to communicate and connect with each unique personality! I was the neighborhood dog sitter growing up and my favorite time of year was when my neighbors would go out of town and I could watch their pups! I learned how to care for and handle all different kinds of dogs and I was always so happy to be around them. The best day of my life (so far) was the day I got a pup of my own! I believe that dogs can change people’s lives and bring so much happiness into the world. I am fully available to care for animals with my current schedule. I work from home but my job is winding down and will be doing pet care until my next full time opportunity. I have so much love for animals and their safety and health is my priority. I have two dogs that are my world and I always make sure they have everything they need. I will put the same care and effort into caring for other people's animals and will always treat them as my own. I make sure to spend as much time as possible with my pups and keep them as healthy and happy as I can.
About: I grew up with three dogs and two cats, so I come from a very pet friendly background! I have cared for dogs personally and professionally too. Experiences in walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and building trust with new animals. I am I remote worker, so I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule. I would love to include caring for pets in my weekly routine! I can easily crate your dogs, if needed to keep them safe and comfortable. I’d also love to schedule a meet and greets to build trust with both owner and pet before beginning services.
About: I’ve had pets nearly my whole life and have been known to struggle to walk past an animal in need. This means rescuing an injured squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk, an opossum, and more, going the extra mile even when it was deeply inconvenient for me to do so. I also grew up attending zoo camp and then volunteering at a zoo from age 5 to 14, caring for a wide range of animals. I have worked with high energy pitties, a blind and anxious German shepherd, birds, cuddly kitties, fearful kitties, diabetic kitties, rabbits, and others. I have administered shots, IVs, medications, eye drops, and more. I am persistent and typically can win over even the shyest and most anxious fur baby. I have a genuine love for caring for pets and would be honored to care for yours! I am currently carefully thinking about my next full time role and working part time. My partner is an immigrant seeking employment during a time when that is extremely difficult due to the political situation. Any supplemental income is incredibly helpful for me as we navigate. I have a reliable vehicle, plenty of time to play with your pets, and love to love on them. I have a reliable car and I keep my word. I am communicative, honest, and truly love animals. I take direction well and understand that every pet has their specific needs. I don’t cut corners and do my best to provide top notch care, always.
“I reached out to Bianca after our long-time sitter decided to switch careers. Bianca is thoughtful and communicative. She asked great questions during the initial meet and greet and kept me updated on how my boys were doing throughout my trip. I will definitely be reaching out to her for my next trip.”
About: I can cat-sit and house-sit in both Richmond and Loudoun County (NoVA), depending on the time of year! I am a full-time student at VCU, so I am in Richmond during the school year and go back home to NoVA during the summer and other breaks. In Richmond, I am available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I can do drop-ins on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 1 pm and 3 pm as well. I'll update my availability in NoVA a couple of weeks before each break! I will look to see how comfortable your kitty is and work towards making them as at ease as possible. I will work with your pet's routine and any strict scheduling so as not to disrupt their comfort. I can also adapt to create a flexible routine after getting to know your pet. I'll make sure they are fed on time, their water bowls are fresh and filled, litter boxes are clean, and they are getting ample pets and play! If requested, I can also do light cleaning and general upkeep tasks when I'm visiting your kitty/kitties, and of course, also while I'm house sitting. My ultimate goal is to make sure your furry friend is comfortable and satisfied :)
“Victoria was wonderful in taking care of the kittens! She was on time everyday and sent wonderful updates of the babes. They were well loved and cared for we are so grateful!”
“Nick is a kind guy with a gentle demeanor. My anxious dog Leroy was very comfortable with him and I came home to a happy pup. I will definitely be calling upon him more this summer!”
About: I am a young professional with two orange cats of my own! I've been watching animals for my family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid; I love cats and dogs of all colors, breeds, shapes, and sizes. I'm currently between jobs, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or satisfy your unique care needs! I'm lucky to have a flexible schedule, so I strive to accommodate others' schedules to the best of my ability. Safety is paramount for me. As a pet-owner myself, I strive to meet the needs of each pet without putting them at risk of harm or distress.
About: I provide my services exclusively to cat owners. While I find dogs delightful, I have not had any of my own and therefore I'm not comfortable pet-sitting dogs. I have plenty of flexibility at the moment! That being said, I'm not available during the following times for most of September and October: - Mon & Wed: 6pm - 9:30pm - Sat: 9am - 2pm I'm respectful of my client's home and pets. I always double check that all doors and windows are locked before leaving, a habit I picked up from having my own pets. I'm also keen on learning pets' personalities and play styles to ensure their comfort. For example, a skittish cat would hide from me, but may still enjoy my presence from a distance. These are just a few details that I would ask the owner before engaging in pet-sitting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,228 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort Lee. 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.
