“Kristina is absolutely fantastic. My doberman is a lot to handle and she did so well with him. She regularly sent me pictures and kept me up to date with everything going on while I was away. Would highly recommend.”
“Gabby took excellent care of our animals while we had to go out of state. I could tell from her pictures and from how they were acting when we got home that they really enjoyed their time with her. We'd absolutely book Gabby again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with this Hailey! This was our first time using Rover to book a cat sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and clearly cares deeply about animals. Her communication was excellent throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“After an absolutely horrible experience with another sitter, Kimberly saved the day. I was quick to book someone else at the beginning and I wish I would have waited for her. Her attention to detail and consideration for my pet’s overall well-being is unmatched. I will only ever use her again. You can be safe knowing she will test your pet just like you would!”
“Heather is the most amazing sitter ever. Mischa isn’t friendly towards anyone but Heather took the extra steps to try and win her over. She would walk Max outside to go potty when he was being stubborn. She was informative, kept in contact and so very kind to my doggos. I will a thousand percent recommend Heather to anyone.”
About: I work full time at Shenandoah University and am joining Rover to formalize my side hustle, which Ive largely managed through word of mouth thus far. I’ve lived with dogs for about 25 of my 30 years of life - mostly hounds (most recently 2 bassets). And I’ve watched dogs of all sizes, the smallest being a chihuahua mix and the largest a Great Dane. Over the last 5 years or so, I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and connections in the Winchester area. The longest engagement was 6 weeks, but I normally do long weekends or week long jobs. All animals are different and I respect you, their owner, to tell me what’s best for your furry friend. I also will be transparent and over communicate with you so we both can be confident your animals have everything they need. I’m comfortable dispensing medication - including to the really picky ones (I can take a pill/pill pocket and sculpt it pretty much exactly the same shape and size as any mainstream kibble brand). I have experience with puppies and with our senior citizens, who both just need a little extra care and attention. I feel comfortable listening to animals and getting to know their personalities, which are all so different yet equally endearing. If they are trying to say something, though, I feel pretty confident I will notice it - especially after we’ve spent a few hours together. And, if they’re trying to say something and I don’t understand? I’ll reach out just to make sure. I just really, really love animals. I most often watch dogs but have also cared for cats, lizards, bunnies, chickens, and horses (although horses were largely just feeding and brushing/attention). I also have a rescue cat of my own, Luna, who has made me certain I’m equally a dog person AND a cat person. I work 9-5 M-F, and occasionally am tied up on weekends with happenings on campus. I can take an hour lunch (and flex a bit beyond if necessary) to visit the animals for attention and potty breaks. I am single, sober, and genuinely grateful for the work and the company. Animals have so much love to give, and i try to reciprocate that love indiscriminately. Thanks for your consideration and please let me know if I can answer any questions, hop on a zoom call, or speak to any specific needs you find important. No request is too small and I’m grateful for any and all details I can use to keep your animals feeling secure, loved, and cared for in your absence. I work full time at Shenandoah University as an Administrative Assistant in the Office of Global Engagement. My role is in-person on the main campus in Winchester. My routine hours are 9-5 with an hour lunch around 12 or 1. But, there’s a lot of flexibility, especially over the summer when the students are back home. My team is small and I am able to shift my hours when I communicate with them in advance (I.e. I’ll take 2 hours midday but clock in at 8, etc). Outside of work, my schedule largely centers around community and service work. I’m really involved with the recovery community and attend several meetings and events a week, although I can be flexible there too. Most days I’m up no later than 7 am and asleep by 11. But all these things can flex, depending on your and your pets needs. I live alone with a stray-turned-adopted cat named Luna. My place has a small fenced area in the back, enough room for a pup to potty but not much more. But I’m also about a half a mile from Jim Barnett Park and I love their walking trails and their dog park. I’d prefer to house sit at your house, but I’m open to certain scenarios if I can ensure your animal is comfortable in my space. Let’s talk about the details!
“Maggie was great with both my big and small dog. She spent plenty of play time with them and kept me updated with videos and pictures and notes. She will be our go to for our out of town trips.”
“Leslie did a wonderful job yet again! She always goes above and beyond. We are so glad to have found an awesome sitter in the area, I very strongly recommend Leslie’s pet sitting service!”
“Lauren helped us out with a last minute request. She kept our 2 dogs happy and healthy while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Melissa was such a lifesaver! She helped us super last minute when a previous sitter fell through right before we left for a family reunion, and we couldn’t be more grateful she was there! Super flexible and communicative, Melissa took lots of adorable pictures and left detailed updates of each visit. And she was super sweet with our fur babies and loved on them so much! 100/10, will absolutely recommend and hire for her again! Thank you so so much Melissa!”
“Lauren was super responsive and took great care of our very energetic 2 1/2 year old German Shepherd. Our dog was very well cared for and happy with two daily walks and feeding. I recommend Lauren and give her 5 stars for a green job.”
“Angelina was fantastic! She took great care of my kitty while I was away and sent regular, detailed updates and pictures. Definitely provided a lot of peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands.”
“This is our second time using Cynthia! She was amazing yet again and we can tell by how happy our pup is! She was great also with a last minute visit. We appreciate her so much and are grateful she took care of our fur baby so well!”
“Megan is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel extra loved when we are out of town. We hope to continue to use Megan in the future.”
About: From working in a groom salon to pet sitting, animals have always been my first love and you can trust me to care for your baby the right way! I’m currently a growing hairstylist and I’m looking for a side job so with my down time I’d love to care for your fur baby the right way! I have a big yard area, and live right near the C&O canal so I can take your pup on a nice outdoor walk. I have experience in a grooming salon which has taught me how to control dogs that aren’t my own.

Hannah arrived just as requested, sent adorable pics, and posted what each pet was doing and how their demeanor was. It sounds like they loved her, and showed it with licks and pets!! She also brought in our mail and packages, which was very helpful! We will definitely invite her back next time!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gordondale on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Gordondale. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
