“Meah is a phenomenal pet sitter. Not only is she professional. She is extremly attentive and communicates well. Even when weather was bad (snow and ice) she made every effort to ensure she stayed on schedule (which she did). I would recommend Meah to anyone and I will use her again if she is available.”
About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
“Sandra did a phenomenal job caring for Yema while we were away! She treated her with so much care, kindness, and attention, which gave us great peace of mind during our time away. We especially appreciated the photos she provided with each visit—they allowed us to see how happy and well cared for Yema was. Sandra was dependable, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Nadia was incredible with our cat Cleo! We have never seen our cat respond so well and so quickly to someone new. Nadia was also really flexible with our bookings when we had unexpected health issues with our families that changed our plans last minute. We highly recommend booking with Nadia and we are looking forward to working with her again!”
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I have experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities, from playful and energetic cats to shy or more independent ones. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and keeping up with each cat’s normal routine. I’m patient and gentle, especially with cats who need extra time to feel comfortable around someone new. I’ll always treat your cats with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can make time for feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your cat’s usual schedule as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I always make safety and comfort a priority when caring for cats/dogs in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their feeding and litter routine consistent, and make sure doors and windows are secure. I understand that some cats are shy or cautious around new people, so I’m patient and let them approach me at their own pace. I’ll keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and playtime if they want it, and treat both your cat and your home with care and respect.
“Maddy was great!! She gave updates and pics of my cat Lily and she enjoyed her company too. Super nice and brought in my packages! Will def. book Maddy again to give me that peace of mind while I’m away.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs & cats (literally) my entire life! I’ve taken care of both young and senior pets and I have experience with administering medication orally and through injection as well! I’m a senior in high school, so I have school most weekdays from 9:00-2:10. I also work part time on occasion from 4-9:20 as well as every Sunday 11:30-4:00. I have a big schedule, but I can always find a way around it to take care of your pet 🥰❤️ I have a fenced yard and two german shepards and a domestic shorthair (who stays in my basement.) I have previous experience caring for pets in my home by keeping them in my room that can be locked from the outside (large dog care may be difficult but we can figure something out ☺️.) In your home, I will be sure to leave everything as it was. I will notify you of everything I do in your home. As an anxious person myself with multiple pets, your pets will be safe in my hands 😊
“Roya did an amazing job watching my two cats for me while I was away for a couple of days! She provided updates while I was gone and overall just seems like a very sweet and thoughtful person, who I would definitely trust again to take care of my pets or to recommend to a friend!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth and variety of my experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Beyond pet sitting for multiple families outside of Rover, I also own a horse and have been involved with horses for over a decade. Working with such large, sensitive animals has taught me responsibility, calm leadership, and how to build trust with even the most cautious pets. Because of this, I’m comfortable and confident handling animals of all sizes, from the tiniest kitten to the largest dog. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and specific needs, and I take pride in tailoring my care to each individual animal. Whether it’s administering gentle care to seniors, reinforcing good manners with puppies, or providing enrichment and exercise to keep pets happy, I approach every situation with patience, respect, and love. At the end of the day, my goal is to create a safe, trusting environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners have peace of mind knowing they’re in capable hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible college schedule. With lifelong animal experience, I provide safe, loving, and dependable care tailored to each pet’s needs I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. In your home, I follow routines, respect rules, and provide attentive care. Pets feel secure, loved, and stress-free.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had experience with animals since I was growing up. I had a dog, a rabbit, and birds, and I currently have a cat that I love and care for. My aunt and uncle also have a small farm with lots of roosters, so I often help them take care of the animals, raise them, and spend time playing with them. Caring for animals is more than just a responsibility to me; it is something I genuinely enjoy and have a passion for. I’m always willing to make time in my day to give animals the love, attention, and care they need. I always make an animal’s safety and well-being my top priority. I stay attentive to their needs and surroundings at all times, creating a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment.
About: I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I always stick to your pet’s routine. I also make sure they’re having fun and feeling loved. I’m big on communication, so you’ll get plenty of updates (and lots of cute photos) while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop in, or boarding, my goal is always the same: a happy pet and total peace of mind for you. I currently work full-time but am available for midday visits/drop ins. I have a lot of availability on the weekends for whatever your booking needs may be. I live in a complex with a dog-park and plenty of walking trails. I am able to crate dogs easily crate pets and am comfortable being around pets of all sizes.
About: I have nearly a decade of experience caring for dogs through work in dog daycares and as a pet sitter. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, stages of life, and personalities, and I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including insulin, and am committed to keeping every dog safe, happy, and comfortable. 🐶💕 I am currently working part time and am available most days. My shifts are normally about four hours long, so I am able to be around for most of the day. I am comfortable with taking care of any dog. I am able to administer any medication need and I am able to follow any care instructions provided.
About: I am 33 years old, happily married, a licensed paramedic, and have been pet and house sitting since I was 12 years old. Growing up I worked at my family's business for over a decade, a Daycare for Dogs, and have vast experience with all shapes and sizes. I'm very comfortable administering any kind of pet medication and caring for our 4 legged friends needing special attention. In my personal life I also own take care of Cats and would love to meet and take care of all your furry family. I believe that pet sitting does not just stop with your pets, but the job continues to the house. Whether you need your mail picked up, your packages brought in or your plants watered, I consider that I’ll part of the job. "Everyone thinks that they have the best pet and none of them are wrong" "Be the person your dog thinks you are." "All you need is love from a cat" I'm newly located in Manassas and have enough schedule flexibility that I can provide morning or evening pet care. We can discuss any specific scheduling needs you may have. I'm unfortunately living in an apartment and not able to care for your pets in my own home. I'm a licensed paramedic and have a 100% clean background - I'll always leave a client's home exactly as they left it.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with five cats of my own (yes, they run the house). I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since 2020, and I treat every pet like they’re my own — spoiled, adored, and always safe. Whether your pup needs an adventure buddy or your cat just wants someone to sit nearby and respect their vibe, I’ve got you covered! I currently work remote full time so my schedule is very flexible, I have softball games on Tuesday and Friday evenings so I may have to coordinate some good times to drop in In my own home I keep my cats indoors and when walking dogs I make sure to walk bright and occupied paths to ensure safety

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Independent Hill is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $22 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.

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.

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.
