“Mitzi was really great! Communicated consistently and her care for my cat while I was away gave me real peace of mind. And my cat was definitely much happier when I came back home.”
“Taylor is fantastic! Taylor has been doing drop ins for my dogs and the pups have really enjoyed having Taylor come over and spend time with them! So grateful!”
“Molly was absolutely amazing & took such great care of our cat Rosie while we were on vacation for a week. She came daily to play with her, refresh her water, clean litter box, & give her treats. We will definitely be using her again!!!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone else, and everything went perfectly. He followed all our instructions, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our dogs. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful! She stepped in on very short notice to care for my dogs and made the entire experience stress-free. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, was incredibly kind and professional, and kept me updated with regular check-ins and lots of photos. Knowing my dogs were so well cared for gave me incredible peace of mind while I was away. She was so great, I've booked Natalie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Lina is an outstanding pet sitter. I was nervous to find a new sitter when we moved to the area due to having several pets with behavioral and/or medical needs, but Lina is extremely skilled at what she does. My nervous and reactive dog warmed up to her so quickly during our meet and greet, and my usually shy kitties came to greet her every visit. Lina has such a warm and welcoming energy. She leaves such thorough reports, along with sweet pictures of all my pets after each visit. She even noted a medical concern that I had forgotten to previously mention. She is so attentive, and I’m grateful to have her care for my pets.”
“Amazing as always! We went on a weekend trip without phone service and I did not even worry that the cats were getting wonderful treatment because Erin always takes perfect care of them!”
“Trent is a great petsitter for our cats - reliable, punctual, and communicative. This was our first time using him, and I’m so happy I found someone that I can trust to use again in the future. Highly recommend him!”
“Samantha was amazing with my cat! I had an emergency because there was a fire alarm in my building and I panicked about my cat’s safety. I called Samantha and she immediately replied and stopped by to check in on my kitty after the regular daily visit. She made sure that he was ok and told me that the alarm was in the building next to mine. I was so relieved and so thankful to her for going the extra mile in this situation!!! She even offered to bring my cat to her place if necessary, which I really appreciated.”

“Elisa was super helpful watching our cats while we were away. She sent pictures everyday and even cleaned the mess they made knocking things over. I will for sure be using her again and highly recommend her .”
“Ajia is professional and communicative. I have two cats who aren’t always the easiest to deal with and have complicated medication, however Ajia handled them with ease. She also has managed to be in good graces with my oldest cat who is notoriously moody. I felt that my cats were in good hands.”
About: Hi! I'm a high school teacher, mom, and lifelong animal lover. I've had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and began pet sitting for families while I was in college. My own dog, Scout, reminds me every day how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a teacher, I'm organized, dependable, and attentive to details. I'm available throughout the summer and on weekends during the school year. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra TLC while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 I am off for summer, so I have all day to pop in and walk your pups or for pet sitting in your home. I live in Annandale, so would prefer to be in this general area. Whatever needs your fur baby/babies has/have, I can accommodate. I am always sure to get my 10,000 steps a day, so I would love to do it with a dog by my side. We can relax, snuggle, and have our own private conversations. Obviously, feeding and watering and treat rewards are a given!

We absolutely loved working with Alison, who watched our two cats while we were away! Our cats immediately warmed up to her (even our shy cat Moki immediately came out and was comfortable with Alison, which is unusual for Moki!). Alison was a great communicator and sent great updates and photos each day. We hope to hire her next time we need a Catsitter as well!
Rachel is truly the most incredible sitter I have ever had. One of my cats is extremely nervous around new people, and he took to her immediately thanks to her loving and calm demeanor. She was on top of everything, endlessly nice and responsive, and went above and beyond in every way. Leaving my kitties is always hard and stressful but Rachel genuinely allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing my cats were safe, happy, and well taken care of. Thank you, Rachel! We will miss you so much when we move. I wish I could book you a thousand times over!
Elizabeth is the first sitter I ever used for my two cats and I will always rebook with her! She took such great care of my babies and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands especially with one of my cats having a medical condition. Communication was fantastic, she sent an update and photo after every visit, and I could always count on her to be right on time.
Henry was wonderful with our two cats while we were away for a week! He was reliable, caring, and made sure both cats were well taken care of. Both of our cats seemed very comfortable and happy in his company. Henry was great about keeping us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He was attentive to their needs, dependable, and treated them like his own pets. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats made it obvious that they were in great hands. We highly recommend Henry to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. He made leaving our cats for a week stress-free, and we will absolutely book with him again!

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.

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.
