About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with two dogs and have been consistently walking and caring for pets from middle school through college. I also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained experience handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, hardworking, and reliable, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate a variety of days and times throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and make pet care a priority in my routine, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, check-ins, or overnight care. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel secure and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I’ll follow all routines and instructions closely and make sure they receive lots of attention, patience, and love.

We hired Heather to watch our sweet boy while we were away for Christmas, and she was AMAZING! I trusted that my fur-baby was taken care of and given all the love he needed. I highly recommend Heather to watch after your pets!!

Brad was absolutely terrific. He cared for our dog, cat, and chickens while we were on vacation and he did so very well. He made sure they had food, water, and attention. He gave them their flea and tick and heartworm prevention meds. He even gave them all ice water when we had some very hot days.

About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs, including my own and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each dog’s individual routine. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos. My background in behavior has also taught me to remain calm, observant, and consistent with every pet. I work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance to ensure your pet receives dependable, unrushed care. I will follow your cat’s normal routine and all care instructions closely. I’ll keep doors and windows secure, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime or quiet companionship, and send regular photo updates after each visit.

Perfect! Let Ainsley take care of your pets! She took care of my two kitties for a week. She did everything just right. I received daily pics of her playing with them. She was even able to make friends with my shy kitty. This was my first experience using rover.com, once again, I am pleased.

About: I stand out because I combine years of hands‑on pet care with formal training in progress. At home I care for a playful 9‑month‑old pup, a tiny 18‑year‑old chihuahua, plus beetles and bearded dragons—so I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and delicate seniors, as well as exotic pets. My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.

About: My specialty is where I’ve worked at different animal shelters over the past 5 years and have abundant behavioral and medical experience with multiple types of dogs and cats! I’m very consent based on petting and have a soft spot for socialization of anxious animals. Your pets will be in loving caring hands at all times!! I have a full time job that runs until evening when I’m working, but can still do any drop in visits or overnight pet sitting. I have 2 week days off that I can use for your pets as needed which can include dog walks or house sitting! I have lots of experience with dogs from my work in animal shelters and am comfortable with multiple temperaments. With my work as a vet assistant, I’m trained in monitoring the health and wellbeing of dogs and cats and am very skilled in medication administration. I would also prefer to meet your dogs/cats once or twice before we are on our own so that they can be comfortable around me in their homes!

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing extra snuggles for anxious pups. I have had years of experience, with having three labs currently to raising two litters of lab puppies. I have grown up with dogs and love being around them I am in school during the week Monday-Friday. Pet care fits best for me during the evenings or the weekends depending on the week of school. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to favorite toys and cuddle spots. I make sure your pet feels secure in their own space, keep their environment tidy, and send regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

About: I've cared for and loved animals my whole life. I grew up on a small horse farm in the country. I love any and all types of animals! Dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, pocket pets, you name it! I'm not picky. I started working at my old neighbors boarding and grooming place at the age of 12. Thats when I started learning about dog behavior. Since then I have worked & volunteered at multiple animal related places, Doggy daycare, local animal shelters, multiple pet sitting jobs & have worked at my current job at the emergency vet since 2016. Im very flexible in my day to day care. Even on days I work long hours I can still check on your pet a minimum of 3 times a day. Some days I don’t work until night and I have off every other weekend. Message me and we can work something out! I currently work at the local emergency animal hospital. I am in school to become a licensed veterinary technician. Your fur baby would be in great, knowable hands. I’m familiar with crate trained animals, & Ones that have special needs also. I read animal body language very well & can often figure out what is best for their comfort and safety.

OK seriously, I literally can't say enough good things in this review about this literal angel 😇!!! My Mother has been in the hospital and she has gone far beyond what most anyone would do for my Mother's cats. She has been an absolute life saver for our family and I am giving her 10 stars ✨ not 5. I can't imagine anyone being able to find a better person for their animals! She's very responsive and good at what she does. Sweet as apple pie and sooo helpful!! Don't hesitate, this is your sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lynchburg on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 150 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lynchburg. 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 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.

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

  • 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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.
