“I have had Aimee watch my cat Harley multiple times. She goes above and beyond to take care of Harley and I appreciate all of the photos and updates she sends. Will continue to use her in the future!”
“I had a great experience with this sitter and would absolutely book again. My cat is extremely shy and usually hides from anyone new, so I wasn’t expecting much interaction—but she still went above and beyond. She took the time to find her, got a photo so I knew she was okay, made sure she had fresh food, and even fully changed out her litter. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my cat was being cared for properly, even if she wasn’t coming out to socialize. You can tell she’s patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the animals she’s watching. Highly recommend, especially if you have a more anxious or reserved pet.”
“Spencer and Julia were so kind, responsive, and absolutely amazing with my dog! Loved loved loved the photos they sent - cannot recommend them enough!”
“Juliana was the perfect dog sitter to watch our boys! She visited beforehand to make sure she knew how to take care of and walk them, and diligently recorded everything about the walks and feedings and sent a message on how it went and a photo. Would book again!”
“Ann was so great taking care of my cat while I was gone. She provided great photos and was very good with communication! I could tell she cared for my cat like she was one of her own.”
“Tara was so so wonderful with my cats! Both of them have separation anxiety and it was their first time with a sitter. I came home to them playing and doing their normal activities with no anxiety. Tara even got my shyest one to come out of her shell.”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid. Ever since I can remember there have always been pets and animals in and around my family. My family had dogs and cats growing up, I've also had fish, turtles, and geckos. I have some experience (not certified) in dog training, as I trained my current dog with my brother. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, having grown up around larger breeds. I currently work in the evenings, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays. This leaves me free in the mornings and afternoons to walk and take care of pets. I make sure I have all the information I need about whoever I'm looking after. I ask for the owner's preferences with types of walks, length, play, treats, etc. I report any potential issues with the pets to the owners.
“Emili was excellent; she took great care of our cat. She sent numerous photos and kept us updated on all interactions. She was very respectful of our cat, giving him the time and space he needed to acclimate. We will definitely use her services again!”
“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”
“Kristina, was above and beyond with Max! This was our first time leaving Max with someone else and I loved the great communication, pictures, and I felt at ease with her work! Thank you for everything!!”
“Iryna was so communicative the entire time I was away. Her updates, pictures, and everything inbetween made me feel so much better about someone watching my girls. I will absolutely be booking her again and anyone else in Arlington area should as well!”
“Shannon did a great job of taking care of our puppy! This was our first time leaving him, and Shannon was very communicative throughout the visit to put our mind at ease.”
“Heather was my first experience with Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my kitten while I was away! She sent me pictures and videos daily, and was very attentive and communicative! Will definitely be reaching out to her if I ever have to leave town again!”
“Emily is respectful, friendly, flexible, and communicates well. She helped us last-minute, followed instructions, provided detailed notes, and took tons of cute photos!”
“Drew was great with my “quirky” dogs while I was out of town. She took great care of them. She was on time, provided photos, kept me informed, etc. I would definitely use Drew again in the future.”
“John dropped in to check on my cat while I was away from him for the first time. He was very diligent about following instructions, wrote up excellent notes on the visit, and was good about communicating with me. I was comfortable that my cat was in good hands!”
“Esther-Elizabeth did such a great job taking care of my three kitties over the holiday! I have one kitty who needs insulin and one who is shy and she treated them like her own! I’m so glad I found her and would absolutely recommend her as someone who thinks of my pets as family and wants to make sure they’re in good hands. I also felt her rate was very reasonable for the care she provided.”
About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Fort Myer is $22
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myer
Samantha was wonderful! She took great care of our cats while we were away and took so many photos so that we were rest assured. We could tell they trusted her. She also saved us in multiple situations, from resuscitating our plants to handling a door lock problem while we were away.
Lyndsay took such good care of my cat Mooncake! I really appreciated her notes on each check in updating me on how my cat was doing, and it seems they had a great time together! She was also kind enough to help with cleaning a bit of a mess my cat left. Overall she was amazing!!
Simone is so incredibly communicative. She shares lots of pictures and I always feel looped in to how things are going every day. I cannot imagine having anyone else catsitting them anymore because my kitties are so comfortable with her. Highly recommend!
Zoey is one of the best sitters I have found on Rover! She’s very communicative and sent us lots of updates on our Koko when we were out of town. I appreciated that Zoey asked to meet before the service started and she instantly bonded with Koko when she arrived. I’ll definitely be using her again when we need a sitter.
Lily was so great with our two cats! She sent us lots of great pictures and was very attentive. She was also flexible and was able to help us out by coming an extra day when we had a flight cancellation. I would highly recommend Lily and would definitely rebook in the future!
Naomi was great with Hermes. He warmed up to her in just a short while, which is no small accomplishment. He's usually pretty circumspect around strangers. Naomi kept us well informed with photos, where Hermes seemed to enjoy her company as much as (or more than!) ours.
Kat is my go-to petsitter, I’ve booked her multiple times now, and it has been such a relief having a petsitter nearby that I can trust while I’m away. It makes traveling so much easier knowing that my cat is well cared for. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I 100% recommend her for anyone nearby!
Leo is such a sweetheart and a real animal lover! I could tell he really cared about my pets’ wellbeing and didn’t just see them as an item to check off on his list. He was on time or early, very communicative, and really helpful, especially since I booked pretty last minute. I would absolutely have him as a sitter again!

As of July 2026, there are 7,565 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort Myer. 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 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.

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.
