“Cathy took great care of my cats! She was amazing with them. They immediately felt comfortable with her which doesn’t always happen with my cats. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. 100% recommend!”
“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.”
“Taylor did a great job with our dog Arden! She was very communicative and provided daily updates to go along with the photos. Got back home from our trip to a happy pup. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Alexandra (Lexi) was AMAZING. The dogs fell in love with her right away and she was such an overall joy to interact with. She was very communicative, flexible, and super caring. Could not recommend her more for your pups!”
“Anna took care of my 2 cats on short notice when I found myself without a sitter just before a work conference. Oral pet meds and sensitive pet behaviors were no issue for Anna! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Meghan was great with my cats. Even Beans, who hides from everyone but me, found himself rolling over for belly rubs from Meghan. Highly recommend her and would definitely request her services again!”
“You are not going to find a better dog sitter/walker than Amanda. The boys absolutely adore her and she is sooo good with them. She is incredibly flexible and accommodating of my chaotic life when it comes to scheduling. In fact, she has saved my butt on multiple occasions. Additionally, she proactively goes above and beyond. During this most recent visit, I warned her that I had run out of poop bags so she needed to watch her step. Amanda, being the caring puppy sitter that she is, surveyed the whole yard and picked up all of the stray puppy piles. I dare you to find another pet sitter willing to do that! Anyways, she's great!”
“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.”
About: As a Registered Nurse, caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same compassion and attention to detail naturally extends to animals.. I know your pets are family, and I’ll care for them with the same patience, love, and vigilance I’d want for my own. Whether it’s keeping them on their routine, giving medications, or simply providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and companionship, my goal is to keep them safe, healthy, happy, and loved while you’re away so you can have complete peace of mind. I believe your pets deserve my undivided attention. That’s why I only accept one family at a time. My hybrid work schedule allows me to work from home two days per week, and I can often adjust those days to be home even more with your pet. Depending on how far your home is from my office, I am also be able to come home for lunch for walks or playtime. If your pet is happiest in their own environment, I’m happy to provide care in your home. I can care for multiple dogs, cats, or a combination of pets, and I’m also open to caring for other animals. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Every pet is unique, so I’d love to learn about your needs and how I can provide the best care for your furry (or feathered or scaled!) family members. Let’s chat and create a plan that’s perfect for you and your pets!
“Randi was awesome! I don’t often leave my dog so I was fairly nervous to use a stranger. However, she came by while I was here to meet my dog, and watching her with him immediately put me at ease. We have already booked another session with her!”
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.
About: I have experience with “basic training” meaning sit, paw, wait at door to potty, wait to eat unless given approval (meaning not to rush to eat and wait for me to put food in the bowl). I have grown up with dogs my whole life and I have loved and cared for every single one of them until they have passed away from cancer or natural causes. I have 2 pups currently that I have rescued one from abuse and one from the animal shelter. If I could have more animals I definitely would but it is not possible for me (it could be if my husband approved lol). Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because I am currently 2 month postpartum and have become a stay at home mom. I would love to be able to help take care of animals while pet parents are going on vacation or have to work long excessive hours or just in general need of help when needed. I have a fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats currently with one recently passing away a year ago from a virus that didn’t show up until she was 2 years old (genetic). My cats have one cat litter box (automatic one) and it cleanse itself, however it needs a deep cleaning once a month or every other month. I teach my 2 pups how to sit, give paw, and wait for my command to start eating and go to door when needing to go potty.
About: I worked at an animal hospital as a kennel assistant while in high school. I would walk pets, feed them, and play with them. I then moved on to become a veterinary assistant and have been one since I graduated high school. I have lived with animals my whole life. I currently have a five-year-old female German Shepard, a two year old Pointer Lab, and two cats. My GS, Tsuki, is a sweetheart who loves to always be by her mom's side and loves her walks. My pointer lab, Chance, is the most distinguished gentleman that just loves to play and constantly be learning new commands. Chance and Tsuki have two sisters, Mila (9 years old) and Ivy (4 year old). Mila loves her space, while my little Ivy is my trouble maker who loves to pull pranks on Tsuki and cause trouble with Chance. I feel like working with animals in a clinic and having my own has been a rewarding experience to learn more about animals and how each one has its own dislikes and likes. I have a very flexible employment, that sometimes I am able to work from home. I am happy to check on the fur baby as often as you would prefer and send you all the pictures! I have a fenced backyard for those dogs that love to be running around outside. If I am coming to your house, then I love taking walks and if you prefer, I would love to take them to the dog park. You let me know what you would allow/prefer for the care of your pet, and I will do just that!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Glen Allen on Rover is $18.9 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,255 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.
