Autumn was amazing! Our dog gets separation anxiety and Autumn was able to win her over by playing with her and giving belly rubs and treats. We felt really comfortable going away knowing she was in good hands. We would definitely recommend.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in the house. I have experience caring for both from birth to end of life. I can give medications, hand feed, clean incontinence/accidents, scoop and clean litter boxes, administer subcutaneous IV fluids, walk, play, and anything your baby may need. I will care for them as if they are my own and would love to spoil them. My schedule is semi-flexible as I work from home. I’m available afternoons and evenings. Feel free to reach out if a different time is needed and I will see what I can do. I am offering drop in visits and walking for right now. I will be respectful of your property and sensitive and patient with your baby.

Kristal was great with my two kitties. She did drop in visits while I was on a multi-day vacation. I got updates and pictures everyday and she even cleaned up kitty cat puke (from one of my babies who has a sensitive tummy). Would absolutely book again!

Steven checked in on our cat. He was very communicative and on time. He is thoughtful and offered to clean up the litter box when I forgot to mention it. He took pictures and my cat was so happy around him! Thank you for giving us the peace of mind when we were away!

Ayesha took great care of our dog Chloe. Chloe was not eating much while we were out of town so she made Chloe a special meal that Chloe really enjoyed. The communication while we were gone was excellent. I felt very comfortable and I would definitely recommend Ayesha to anyone that needs care for your dog while on travel....Thanks for everything Ayesha

I highly recommend her! She took wonderful care of my dog and treated him like her own. She made sure he was well-fed, gave him plenty of love and attention, and took him on regular walks. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

I reached out to Quiana in the late evening on Su day night hoping to arrange care for my pup on Tuesday morning. Quiana responded promptly, and though I had a morning full of meetings, and I was scheduled to travel on Monday afternoon, Quiana suggested and made herself available for a meet and greet early Monday morning. Aksel loved her immediately, showed his ball off to her and even tried sharing it with her (unheard of with strangers). Aksel has separation anxiety and usually has a pretty hard time when I travel. After seeing Quiana for 2 mornings in a row (meet & greet included), Aksel woke up on fhe 3rd day anticipating her arrival. He pickup up his stuffy and stood at the door waiting. Needless to say, seeing that instantly made my heart smile. He has a long top knot and shook out his ponytail, she took time to find something to his hair back before leaving When it's wet outside, she attempts to at least dry his feet, even though he's more interested in playing tug of war with the towel. She's my favourite person of the month and is definitely going to be a part of Aksel's village moving forward.

About: I’ve had and loved pets my entire life! (I was convinced I was going to be a vet until I realized I would very likely sob every time a pet got sick.) From my black lab, Raven, to my cats Lily and Langston, to now, my long-haired chihuahua, Midge, animals are just a part of the day-to-day! Since age 12, I’ve been petsitting for friends, family, and neighbors (including overnight stays) and cared for dogs who are super energetic, playful, and independent to dogs who experience some anxiety and might need a bit more attention❤️! I also have experience caring for a bit older doggos. My black lab, Raven, lived to 16 and as her mobility and needs changed, I changed with her and it really taught me to be very attentive, gentle, and adaptive to a pets needs. I’m comfortable and experienced with walking, feeding, brushing, playtime, litter boxes, and loving and attention when pets want or need it❤️! So whether your pet is super energetic and playful or just wants a calm, reassuring companion, I’m happy to match their vibe and energy and make them feel loved and at home☺️🐾! I’m a rising junior at Virginia Tech and home for the summer, working part-time as a server in the Fort Hunt/Hybla Valley area. I have a super flexible schedule and lots of free time to spend with your pets, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or whatever else your pet might need😊! Mainly, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home with walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays! I make sure to stick to their routine, make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise (or just hang out if that’s more their style!) I don’t usually host pets in my home, but I’m super flexible and want to make sure your pet feels happy and loved, and I’ll always make sure to send updates and pics📸🫶!

Lydia was terrific. Last-minute, I needed someone to watch my cat while my movers were working, which can be stressful for an animal, and for four hours she watched him and sought to keep him calm, all while maintaining a great attitude.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Friendly

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Friendly on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,093 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Friendly. 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 Friendly. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
