About: My lifelong love for animals began growing up visiting farms, which taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to animal’s needs. I worked at an animal hospital for over a year, assisting veterinarians with administering medications to dogs and cats. I also handled the boarding and daily care of dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and geckos. I was trained to properly feed, monitor, bathe, and exercise over 100 pets per day. This hands-on medical and boarding experience allows me to provide a higher level of care, safety. I adore senior doggies and cats and the puppies and kittens are the funniest! I maintain a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I am available in the evenings on Mondays and Wednesdays after 7 PM, have midday and evening availability on Tuesdays, and can provide care in the mornings and evenings on Thursdays and Fridays. I am fully available on weekends, which allows for extended care, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My experience working in an animal hospital taught me how to carefully follow routines, notice small changes in behavior, and handle pets gently in their own space. I treat every home with respect and stick to each pet’s usual schedule and owners requests, whether that’s feeding, medications, litter care, or walks. I’m trained to give medications and I always take my time to make sure everything is done correctly and calmly. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I make sure to send updates, photos, and notes after visits. My goal is to keep pets relaxed and happy while giving pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring hands.

“Raquel was super sweet and accommodating to Mike, our diabetic cat. She was willing to take on the responsibility of injecting insulin twice daily to Mike and was punctual each day. Very communicative, quickly responding to any and all messages sent, there was no delay at all! She takes caring for animals seriously and won’t let your pet go without!”

About: I have had dogs and cats ever since I was 5 years old. Growing up with animals has conditioned me to love and care for every animal like it’s my own! I have had large dogs and small dogs. I have special needs animal experiences as one of my dogs had diabetes which required medication and special diets. I have a part time job so I am free most days. Although the part time job is mostly in 4-6 hour shifts which gives me flexibility to care for animals as well I have a fenced in yard and great trails near my house for walking! I live in a quiet neighborhood so loud noises won’t be an issue. I do have two younger brothers 5/6 who live in the house but are used to animals.

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.

“Ni did a great job watching our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was very diligent about providing many pictures daily showing her completing each activity that we asked her to do, much more so than other cat sitters we have used in the past. Our cat is older and requires some specialized care, including a couple medications and cleaning up frequent messes she makes, having more difficulty than younger cats with her daily activities. Ni did everything she needed too well and diligently. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”

About: I have been pet and house sitting since 2022. So far I have been pet sitting for friends and their friends, but I wanted to extend my services to the lovely people in my area. I grew up with a big dog as our family pet. Though he is no longer with us he was the perfect sassy addition to our family. Since I have started pet sitting I have had 4-legged clients of ALL sizes, we are talking teacup pup to 100+ lbs. I also have experience with all ages ranging from ~6months to senior and I understand their different needs and energy levels. I love to run and walk especially when a doggy friend tags along. I DO have experiment giving oral medications. I am an engineering student at GMU and my schedule can be a little funky compared to a typical 9-5. Please reach out to check my specific daily and long term availability! I take very great care for the safety of the animals that I watch over. I take special care when unleashing dogs to make sure that we are in a secure location (ex. Closed garage/door or fence). While on walks, even with friendly dogs, I try to stay away from others to prevent any potential incidents from happening. I also have experience with giving animals oral medication. I take close care to keep the medications on schedule and triple check that the medication was taken and not spit out (they can be sneaky sometimes).

About: I’ve had pets just about all of my life, and I would say(with other people’s testimonies), that I am almost like a whisperer to them. Cats or dogs or anything that don’t like other people almost always like me, given some time of course. I’m understanding of every pets needs being different either drastically or minutely! Anything needed I can accommodate to! I have classes Monday through Thursday from 8AM-1PM for college in Middletown, but I typically have free time sometimes before class as well if needed in the morning, then return home at around 1:30-2PM. I work a part time job on only some days of the week, typically in the evenings. Safe to say, it won’t be very difficult to fit pet care in. I’m not someone that likes to keep pets locked up in a cage or kennel, I prefer to have them out with me, getting to know them! I love them too much to not be around them all the time. I keep a close eye on them and ensure they don’t get into anything they’re not supposed to. Furthermore, I keep all doors closed all the way, including doors with a screen door just to be safe, unless the pet likes to look outside and is well behaved with control to stay inside. I don’t lack effort in the areas of safety and carefulness.

“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”

About: I have over two years of experience at a pet resort as a pet care associate where my job is to provide daily care for the dogs and cats in our care. I’m also currently working at an animal shelter where I continue to provide daily care to the animals in our facility and ensure all animals are being loved, cared for and are comfortable. I work full time sundays to wednesday 7am to 5:30 pm and every now and then once a week 9am to 7:30 pm. I’m free thursdays to saturdays all day and if needed I can do anything after work as long as it’s after my work hours. My cat is strictly indoors. He gets taken outside on a harness to be safe. He is feed twice a day morning and night but sometimes if hes feeling extra hungry he’ll get lunch which I give him wet and dry food. Litter box is cleaned daily twice a day and he has access to all rooms in the house.

Marcela is a reliable, professional, and caring pet sitter. At a difficult time, when our cat was adjusting after losing our other cat, Marcela gave extra attention and lots of cuddles. The daily updates and photos gave us peace of mind. We appreciated the helpful tips she shared about our cat fast eating. We would gladly recommend Marcela to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.

Denisa is exceptional! We have booked her for drop in services several times while we were of town and each time she has exceeded our expectations. We have a geriatric cat who requires medication and a little extra care. Denisa does an amazing job tending to his needs and carefully follows all instructions. (She is amazing with our younger kitty, too.) Denisa is super responsive and follows up with pictures and updates on our kitties after each visit. I highly recommend Denisa for drop ins and especially for older animals that may need extra TLC. She is A++++

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best cat sitter I could have asked for! I’m very particular about my cats’ care, and I left detailed written instructions along with videos. She followed everything exactly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brushed my long-haired cats, which I really appreciated and wasn’t something I expected. When I got home, they were happy, well cared for, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. It was obvious they had been looked after with genuine care and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lorton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lorton is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 2,180 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lorton. 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.

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

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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 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.
