“Although my cat was initially wary of a stranger, Alexandra made fast friends with him and I felt better knowing he wasn't too lonely while I was gone. Thanks Alexandra!”

“This service is wonderful. It was so nice getting daily text messages about the visit. The booking was easy and reliable, Cathy Jo took excellent care of my cat and chickens. I will definitely use this service again in the future”

“Taylor was so attentive and friendly. She was always on time and reported everything. She even had to work around a storm- which our dog gets severe anxiety about. Our dog was extremely well taken care of and loved. We will definitely use Taylor again!”

“Helen is wonderful! She responds quickly and was able to accommodate last minute requests. She is great with our puppy always keeping her entertained. We will definitely continue to use Helen’s services.”

“I’m so grateful that a friend recommended rover to me. I was able to secure a reliable, loving animal caregiver to care for my pets while I was away. Having Anne’s help gave me peace of mind. She’s honest and caring. I sincerely think Anne was a true blessing.”


“Leaving my cat, Lola, is never easy. She’s a high-anxiety girl who doesn’t like being alone, so finding someone I could truly trust was incredibly important. Lee was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. He put my mind completely at ease, which allowed me to actually relax and enjoy my trip knowing she was being well cared for. He was incredibly trustworthy, respectful, and communicated consistently throughout our time away with updates that meant so much to us. It’s clear that Lee genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I can’t recommend him highly enough, and we’ll absolutely be booking with him again!”


“Steven is a rockstar!! He is trustworthy and flexible. He also was so helpful in letting us know that our back up sump pump battery was beeping due to a power outage. We were quickly able to get someone over to assist. Had we not known this, the rain could have led to a flood in our basement. Steven is more than a dog sitter!! So very helpful and we’re grateful to have him help us when we need him! Book him NOW!! Don’t hesitate!! do it.”

About: I've owned dogs, cats & horses my entire life. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, 2 cats and a horse that are all treated like human children. I'm familiar with both young and elderly animals that require medical assistance. I work from home in Glen Allen. I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet during the day and before/after work. I am comfortable with walking all dogs, crating dogs, working on commands and especially providing love and treats if desired! Happy to also prepare lick mats or other stimulation while you're away.

“Casey was great for Ally. She was punctual and took good care of Ally. She seemed patient (Ally is a super senior at 16) and Ally seemed to like her (she does prefer women over men). Overall, Ally was well cared for and received the level of care befitting a senior animal.”

About: Since college, I’ve been asked to care for others’ puppies/dogs! I’m intentional in knowing your buddy’s personality and wants/needs. I wanna make sure that they feel as loved as they do with you! I work a 9am - 5pm job and I make sure that my own pup is cared for before my day starts, during lunch time, and after my job. If they boarded with me, I would spend at least an hour and a half with your pup and mine to make sure that they get a big chunk of exercise (walking, playing, training), get fed, & get snuggles before I leave for work. Then, during my lunch hour I would make sure that they get fed, go for a walk, & play. At night, I would have the same structure with a little bit more of rest time and play time! While I’m at work, I keep my pup in a small play pen with toys/activities. She has to a little bit of room to walk around in the play pen as well. I have an extra play pen for your pup to be in while I’m at work or they can be in the same pen as my pup!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. My parents had a dog before I was born, so being around and caring for pets has always been normal for me. As she got older, I learned how to take care of a senior dog and became more patient and attentive to her needs. We later got a new puppy, and I helped raise her, so I’m comfortable with both energetic dogs and keeping up with routines. My family also used to pet sit pretty often, so I’ve been around a lot of different dogs with different personalities. As I got older, I started pet sitting on my own for family friends and people in my neighborhood. I really enjoy it and try to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I own a pet dog already so I’m always on the lookout for anything she needs! We also go to the dog park or on walks! For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. During drop-ins, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and get attention based on their needs, whether that’s playtime, company, or just a calm presence. I also handle things like quick cleanups or litter boxes if needed. For walks, I make sure your dog gets safe, active exercise while paying attention to their pace and behavior. I’m careful with leashes, surroundings, and making sure they stay comfortable the whole time. I always follow any specific instructions closely and try to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I can also send updates if you’d like so you know how everything is going.
About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.
“McKenzie was fantastic, and was so grateful she was willing to take a late request before the holidays. She took great care of my cats and was very easy to get in touch with if I had questions or forgot something. Gave me great peace of mind that my cats were safe and happy while I was gone for the holidays, I highly recommend her!”

More excellent service from Amanda! She is our go-to person to care for our two cats when we’re out of town. She is very punctual and thorough, taking time to play with our cats in addition to the usual daily tasks of caring for them. She’s great about sharing photos and videos of our cats with us, too!

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 1,242 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Glen Allen. 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.
