“Dakotah has been a god send for my Apollo! She treated him so well and he definitely enjoyed her company! I look forward to hiring her again for him! Thank you so so much for being flexible!”
“Jennifer was a Godsend! She was so sweet to the kitties- and gave me full reports on their condition; she was even kind enough to water my plants! Absolutely the best caregiver- she truly loves animals!”
“Aaron was wonderful. This was our fist time ever using a pet sitter. We were tring to take a two week trip to visit family and everyone on our area was alredy booked or didn't have base access. Aaron was even partly booked with another client and went out of his way to help us and give us guidance to make leaving our pets for so long sooo much easier. Both our pets are warry around strangers and they warmed upto him in the first 10 minutes of there meet and greet vist. As a pet parent with highy anxiety. Aaron was the calming presence both me and my pets needed for our vacation.”
“Riley was absolutely fantastic with my two cats! My cats have never had an “outside of the family” sitter before and can be extremely anxious because of this. However, Riley’s care for them made them less anxious and one of my cats, who is very afraid of people she doesn’t know and will hide, actually came out each visit and let Riley pet her multiple times! She also sent updates and photos of my cats, which I really appreciated. Riley is an amazing sitter, so I highly recommend her for all of your pet-sitting needs!”
About: Hello! My name is Kala. I’m an animal lover who grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience with livestock care, house sitting, childcare, and pet care, and I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care and treat your fur babies like they’re my own! I currently work full-time, but I’m happy to accommodate pet care visits before and after my work shifts whenever possible. I’m also available for weekend visits and care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll do my best to provide dependable, consistent care that works around your pet’s needs and schedule! I understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. I’m happy to provide daily litter box cleaning, fresh water fountain maintenance, and free-feeding as instructed.

Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind are my priorities!
About: I have over 8 years of pet care experience, including caring for my own animals, helping neighbors and friends, and working at a dog and cat boarding facility where I assisted with training, grooming, and supervising pets while families were away. I’m dedicated, reliable, and passionate about making every furry friend feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am a new to the area military spouse looking for a way to make money doing things I love. I have been on rover for over a year now with a ton of regulars and experience in my last location. As of now I am available most hours of the day and I can provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours and more as needed upon request. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making scheduling easy for you and your pets. I provide attentive, stress free care for dogs or cats in your home. Dogs are let out for potty breaks every 4 hours, or as needed. I maintain a clean, safe environment, give plenty of playtime and enrichment, and make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. You will get an overall update every day with more or less as requested by you.
About: I have always had a fondness for animals, I believe they show us the best parts of love! I have taken care of many animals including cats, dogs, and goats for many friends and family. I love spending time with the little babies who need a bit of extra attention, time, and patience! I am currently employed full time within walking distance from my apartment. I go on walks in the morning and evening, and would love more companions! I have a knack for reading how people/animals are doing in new situations, so I do my best to provide a gentle, patient, and loving home away from home!
About: My heart is open to all creatures, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and cherished in my care. Whether it’s through playtime, cuddles, or attentive care, I treat each pet with the same affection and dedication I would give to my own! I currently have ample time to efficiently care for your baby (or babies). Mornings begin with feeding and some outdoor play. Midday involves engaging in daily activities while keeping the pets entertained nearby. Afternoons are all about quality time and interactive play. Finally, evenings include dinner and a final play session, allowing everyone to wind down for a good night's rest—then we repeat! Caring for pets in my home and my clients’ homes involves a tailored approach based on their specific needs and the services I offer. I create a secure and comfortable space with plenty of toys, cozy spots, and outdoor access. In Clients’ Homes, I maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress, following their feeding and play schedules. I ensure the home is safe by securing potential hazards and providing a comfortable space for the pet. I provide regular updates to the pet owner, sharing how their pet is doing.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds, from Great Danes and Mastiffs, to chihuahuas and Teacup poodles. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior with special care requirements, I know how to meet them where they are—with patience, gentleness, and respect. I’m confident handling medications, monitoring health changes, and responding calmly to emergencies. And yes, I’m fluent in belly rubs, leash manners, and the art of a good treat toss. My training as a veterinary technician adds another layer of confidence and skill. I’m experienced in administering medications, monitoring subtle health changes, and responding calmly to emergencies. Whether your dog needs special care or just a gentle presence while you're away, I offer both professional know-how and genuine affection. Im currently working part time from home, so I will have PLENTY of time to check in on your babies. I’m attuned to their moods, their health, and their quirks—whether it’s a sudden burst of zoomies or a subtle shift in appetite. Throughout the week, I build in time for deep-cleaning, play therapy, and medication routines when needed. I approach each task with intention and honor, recognizing how much trust goes into watching your home and pets. Clean water bowls, fresh bedding, and a tidy environment aren’t just details—they’re part of how I show love. I take pride in creating a space where dogs feel safe, soothed, and seen.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Herndon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 69 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Herndon. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

- 89% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
