“I’m so grateful I found Melissa on Rover! My original sitter ended up going out of town, so I needed someone to take care of Iggy while I was away. She was incredibly helpful and made the whole process so easy, especially as someone who is new to Rover! She was amazing about sending pictures, videos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Iggy is normally super shy and loves to hide, but he was SO happy and welcoming with Melissa, which made me feel even better knowing he was in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter!”

About: Throughout my life, I have been the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors, friends, and family. Whether it’s providing a high energy walk, managing feeding schedules, or simply offering a calm and comforting presence, I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine so they feel secure while you are away. My experience ranges from caring for playful puppies to providing the gentle attention required by senior dogs. I work from home full-time, ensuring your pet has constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. My own friendly dogs provide built-in company.

About: I have plenty of pet experience! I say pet because I have had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, and even turtles! I wish I could watch them all but I can only watch a cat or dog :) I will care for them as my own & can fully trust me to take care of your love bug! I work from home so I have plenty of time on my hands! I can even work from my phone if I need to take them out on a walk around the neighborhood. I live in a safe neighborhood with a lot of animals around! I live in a full apartment with a lot of space and lighting for your love bug to be comfortable as they want to be!

About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising and training a Cocker Spaniel, a Pitbull Terrier, and a Rottweiler from puppyhood into their senior years, my goal is to provide patient and dependable care tailored to your pet's unique personality. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm place to stay, they will always feel safe, loved, and cozy while in my care. I currently work full-time in Alexandria, VA, but I work remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays. I do have open availability on weekends, and I am available to board throughout the weekend into Monday. My care is tailored to the individual needs of every animal. My apartment complex is incredibly pet-friendly with a large area right outside my unit for long walks and playtime. We also have a grooming station in case your fur baby needs a little TLC before going home. As an active young adult and someone familiar with the challenges of the puppy years - I am also available to walk dogs as frequently as needed. I also have no problem administering medication or patiently supporting elderly or special needs animals.

About: As a dedicated cat lover, I know that cats are most comfortable when their routines, territory, and personal boundaries are respected. Whether your cat is an outgoing socializer who wants immediate playtime or a sensitive soul who needs a quiet presence and time to warm up, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. I focus on providing low-stress, highly reliable drop-in visits and care. I understand that subtle changes in a cat's behavior or appetite matter, and I pay close attention to the small details that keep them feeling safe and happy while you are away. I’m currently retired after 27 years as a federal civil servant. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry family members and house sitting needs. I am experienced in managing multi-cat dynamics, tracking wellness routines, and creating a calm, predictable environment. I would love to schedule a free meet-and-greet to get to know you and your cats before booking.

About: Since growing up at a young age, I’ve always had a pet by my side and now that I love daily unconditionally. If there is one thing I can teach them is to get along with others animals as well as people. My patience and understanding will keep them thriving and healthy. I only want to give them more than they need. I am available 5 days of the week to care for your pet, including the weekend if needed! After all, someone has to be there for them. No pet under my supervision has ever been in harms way. I have a big cage with food and water. Pet toys, cleaning supplies, and pet proof items to keep them safe.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hillcrest Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hillcrest Heights is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $41 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,594 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hillcrest Heights. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hillcrest Heights. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 , 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.
