“Maddie was great with our kitties. They have very distinct personalities. She was able to read their needs and give each the personalized care they prefer. Our male cat can be a menace to our sitters but he warmed up to Maddie and let her give him pets and love!”

“Rita took great care of my cat, Artemis, while I was away for a week! She followed the instructions closely and communicated clearly and quickly each day. She even went above and beyond taking care of Artemis during a surprise apartment pest control treatment! She takes great pictures of pets as well, I’ve never seen Artemis so photogenic. Highly recommend Rita for all your pet-sitting needs!”

About: I have a 2-year-old German Shepherd who’s full of energy, so I know what it takes to keep active dogs happy. I’m excited to care for your furry friends and make sure they have a great time while you’re away! I work full-time at the moment, but would love to walk dogs after my day job. I am available after 5pm on weekdays and have flexible availability on weekends ! I would make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. I’d follow any instructions you provide for meals, walks, and routines, and give your dog lots of love and care so they feel happy and safe while you’re away.

“Bryn was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my cats, which is not the easiest task since one needs medications. It was a last minute ask and she was available, and jumped in with no hesitation. I honestly am glad that my other sitter canceled because I got to have the best care from Bryn! My only concern is that my cats will miss her to much.”

It was such a relief knowing my little one was taken care of while we were out. Lissette had excellent communication throughout the week while I was gone and overall it was a great experience!”

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, a 10 mile run, relaxing companionship, or attentive care and routine, I’m happy to provide a safe and comfortable experience while you’re away. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to visit and play with your pets! I'm available at most times, 7 days a week. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. In my home, I provide a safe, supervised environment that is clean and has plenty of open space. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings while keeping their space clean and secure. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see that your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: Hello, my name is Braeden, and I can't wait to have your pup or kitty as an honorary member of my home. I have a huge heart for dogs and cats of all breeds! Growing up my dream job was to be a vet; I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of animals for years. I’ve also logged over 60 volunteer hours with my local animal shelter. I had my late dog, Briley, for 10 amazing years, so I’m very experienced. All the snuggles are welcomed! I work from home during the week so I can provide lots of care and specialized attention for your dog while you are away. My goal is to provide a safe and loving environment that local dog owners in VA can trust when they are in need. I live in the Barracks Road area, so there are a lot of great parks nearby. While not required, I am able to do a meet and greet upon request. I’m a 100% remote worker, so I stay home when I’m pet sitting. Feel free to just reach out, and we can figure something out! My place is full of love for your fur baby. My home is full of treats and sweet surprises, you your baby will feel right at home.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Free Union

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Free Union on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 438 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Free Union. 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.

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

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
