“Abel checked in on our cat, Boushy, while we were out of town. He was really easy to communicate with and took excellent care of our Boushy. He also shared very cute pictures with us and we could tell that our cat really liked him. Will absolutely be asking Abel to check in on Boushy again in the future! 😊”

About: Extremely playful and engaging, great time to set the phone aside and play with natures best creation. While placed in my care it will be my only priority to provide the best for them and keep them safe at all times. They will be taken care of as kids, full attention will be on them. I no longer have dogs of my own because of certain circumstances, but I used to have two, your dogs will be taken care as if they were my own. Having the ability to do this will allow me to reconnect with the most precious animals on earth after some time. I can’t wait to meet all these precious pups and have an amazing journey with them thank you lots. I only work part time and have plenty of time in my schedule to go out and care for your pets and provide them with great quality care. I follow all rules and guidelines provided by the owner! Whether there’s a specific leash or harness that needs to be worn or a certain area of the house or yard we have to keep out of

“Tara brought Connor and Sterling out of their shells very quickly. They are normally quite shy around new people, but they took to her at once. I had special dental needs for them both and she made sure they were attended to. It's always good to come back to happy, well-fed cats, and that is exactly what Tara made happen.”

About: Ever since my family got our first dog I have fallen in love with taking care of animals. I have taken care of my pet, friends and family’s pets, and recently even worked at a doggy daycare and hotel! I am looking to be independent with my business and have a better schedule so that I can focus on my vet school. I have taken care of animals without teeth, with pills, with funky weird behaviors, with asthma, etc. I am still working and going to school, but I am hoping to make the transition into Rover. Unfortunately my work schedule is inconsistent and doesn’t communicate in advance, but I will always try my best. Just reach out if unsure and I can set something up with you! I am so used to making sure that everything is as safe as possible. I am trained in dog scuffles, behaviors, and work a job where I am constantly cleaning up and making sure everyone is safe and clean. I am on my phone alot and take TONS of photos, so I will always be able to tell a story and send a photo of your baby(s).

About: Hi! I’m Jaqueline, and I’ve always had a strong love for animals. In high school, I took an academy course in veterinary science, which taught me the basics of animal health, safety, and proper care. I’m very cautious and attentive when it comes to animals, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just companionship, I treat every pet like my own and pay close attention to their needs and behavior. Hi! I currently work part-time at a photography company and also run my own small business. I attend NOVA, but I have a flexible schedule and love spending my free time with animals. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. During the summer, I’ll have even more availability to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I have a fully fenced yard and live in a quiet, peaceful, safe neighborhood, which provides a great space for pets to play and enjoy the outside

“Amanda took great care of Nugget while I was out of town. He tends to be a bit shy around strangers but came right up to greet her when she stopped by before I left town. Amanda said Nug purred the whole time she was over, which means that she passed the vibe check. I would absolutely trust her with him again!”

About: Caring and reliable dog walker with a passion for pets and a knack for building furry friendships. Dedicated to ensuring dogs get the exercise and attention they need for happy, healthy lives. As a full-time teacher, my afternoons and evenings are dedicated to providing loving, reliable pet care. After school, I focus on giving your pet the attention they need, whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or some quiet companionship. I have a flexible schedule in the late afternoons and evenings, which allows me to give your pet quality time and care when they need it most—whether it's to burn off energy, get some extra cuddles, or enjoy a calming routine. Your pet’s needs always come first, and I ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. In my dog walking service, I prioritize the well-being and safety of pets both in their own homes and during walks. At a client's home, I ensure pets are comfortable and have everything they need before heading out. During walks, I maintain a watchful eye on their behavior and surroundings, ensuring they get the exercise they need while keeping them safe from potential hazards. I also provide water and treats as necessary, and always follow any specific instructions or routines provided by the pet owner to ensure consistency and comfort for their furry companions.

About: I own one small dog and have taken care of two - four dogs for more than 10 years total. Happy to help if you have senior pets or a cat that needs some socialization. I was recently laid off so I am available until my clearance gets approved. I am also local to Arlington via walking or car so I’m flexible. Having had bad sitters in the past, I am for safety and transparency. Pictures will also be provided upon request. My number one goal is making sure families are at ease as if the pets were my own.

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is that I have first hand experience with many types of dogs and cats. I’ve worked at a couple of daycares and I have my own animals that I care for deeply. I understand how a pet can be your child and I promise to care for them as I would my own. I’m very responsible, reliable, and I am very fast with responses. Please consider me when you want your pet properly cared for🫶 I currently stay at home for work and I am an artist! I care for my cats daily and can take on the extra responsibility of your animals too! I care for my own pets in many ways, I accommodate their needs and I also try to give them the best care possible! Accidents happen but I always keep the place clean!

Rachel has been wonderful with my tuxedo cat on multiple sittings and has been a life saver on short notice. She followed exact instructions for feeding, play, and litter box clean up. She’s incredibly communicative with detailed notes, quick response times, and photos. She definitely provides a playful and carrying environment for my tuxedo. Her warmth and care of means I can come home to a happy, relaxed, albeit a bit chatty cat.

Erin was wonderful with my cat! She was attentive, followed all care instructions, and clearly has a great understanding of cat behavior. As any cat parent knows, not all sitters understand the importance of letting cats approach on their own terms, but Erin absolutely does. My cat warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot! I highly recommend Erin and would happily book with her again.

If you need a catsitter, make sure it's Jackie! She came highly recommended by another repeat client whom I know personally. I get anxious leaving my "velcro kitty" alone, but from the moment I met Jackie I knew my girl was in good hands. Jackie sent thoughtful updates with the sweetest photos. She went above and beyond in caring for my cat, and we're incredibly grateful! But don't just take my word, trust my cat's review. She crawled into Jackie's lap during her very first visit and parked there for each subsequent visit!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Franconia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Franconia is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $33 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,237 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Franconia. 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franconia. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% can help with daily exercise

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 , 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.
