“Kyleigh C. Has a caring kind personality. She's was very loving and attentive to my furbaby cat. She showed up on time each day. Was ver Responsible. She played with him, she fed him, gave him treats, and she even locked up the house after her shift was done. I would recommend her and I will use her again for my furbaby sitting services.”
About: I have been pet sitting for my immediate family for years, and I am also certified in animal care through high school courses. Additionally, I have two dogs of my own, and over the years, I have owned cats, other dogs, and rabbits. In regards to dogs, I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, and can accommodate to any specific need and administer medication. I love animals, and I do this job to make a little extra money as well as bringing me much joy! I attend the college of William and Mary and I am also involved in a few extracurricular activities here on campus, so I have a schedule where I am only free on weekends. I am able to do any school work remotely, so in case of an overnight stay, it would be manageable for me to safely look after your pets while allowing me to be productive! I live in a dorm room, as I am in college, so I am more than happy to care for your pets at your home. I am very flexible to any accommodations needed for clients homes and would be willing to discuss any specific needs!
“Thanks Raven. I was so busy yesterday I didn't have time to reply. I changed the position of his cage as my mom thinks it was too small of an opening to see out of, he didn't like. Thanks as always for the great pics.”
About: I have many years of pet sitting, up to several pets at a time, including owning many of my own since I was a child. I am patient when meeting new pets, for I understand it may take time to warm up to new people (and other pets!) I’m friendly, and talk to most animals just like they’re humans (lol). I enjoy spending time playing around, going for runs, as well as providing companionship when around pets. We love snuggling in bed over here! I’m not easily intimidated by a shy pet, and will treat them with the same respect and patience as their owners. I have high expectations for my own, so I believe it is only normal and natural to give the same in return for others’ pets so their families are comfortable with who they leave their furry friends with when away. My boy is the friendliest dog ever! He absolutely loves meeting other dogs (and the owners to receive even more affection 🤣). He’s got a lot of energy, which can overwhelm others the first day (he just wants to play!) He is very gentle with small dogs. When meeting others’ on the first day, If they are uncomfortable with his energy level and show they need time to warm up, he immediately backs off and resorts to my side until they are ready. He is very submissive in this sense which is great for no escalation and providing other dogs with the time they need to adjust to a new setting/new friends. I work a full time day job Monday-Friday 8-4, so please be sure prior to requesting services, your pets are able to accept this schedule. I am unfortunately unable to stop in midday as my lunch break does not allow for me to make it very far under 30 minutes. My pets along with the others’ I have boarded have had no issues with a routine working schedule, but every pet has different needs. ❤️ I care for others’ pets like they are my own! It is my duty as a trusted sitter to care for others’ pets in a way they need. I predominantly care for pets in others homes as I have several pets of my own. I do not have any issue with camera systems being in shared spaces to assure families feel safe having someone in their home with their pets.
“Autumn was great! Very responsive and so helpful for our first rover experience! She was patient with our sometimes rowdy dogs and made them feel at ease. Will definitely keep her in mind for any future sitting needs!”
“She was very nice and my cat seemed to really like her. We were nervous to leave him alone for so long but seeing how well he warmed up to her really eased our nerves.”
“April is very easy to get along with and gave excellent care to our cat Miss Pepper. April sent me pictures of our feline at each visit and informed me of package deliveries. Upon my request she checked the water taps drip to ensure the water doesn’t freeze. I highly recommend her.”
“Crystal was wonderful with our dogs! There were some tech issues on my end but she was understanding and patient. It’s nice to have someone to help care for our pets when we are away and trust that they will be fine.”
“1st time using Rover and Judy and couldn't be happier. Judy was very responsive and took great care of my boys, gave me regular updates and photos of them being....them. lol. She took them time to make sure not only were they fed, but ensured they had everything they needed before she left.”
“We had a great meet and greet experience. It was clear she genuinely love animals and took the time to get to know our dog’s personality and needs. Rocky especially loves the back scratching and cant wait for more! I felt comfortable and confident moving forward and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”
About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets needs and wants. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space they get space. It’s all about precious pets needs for me. I provided a 5 star service. My aim is to please and keep them happy. I currently have two dogs of my own and a cat. You can rest assured that if your pets are in my care they will be well-loved and taken care of! I will treat your “babies” like they were my own, not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “baby” treated while I’m away!! That is my promise to you and your fur babies❤️
“Debora was great to work with and very good at communicating. It was obvious she loved our dog and took great care of her while we were gone. We will certainly use her again in the future!”
“Michelle was amazing with our dog and two cats! She gave great updates and pictures. Her communication was fantastic. She gave lots of extra love to our animals, especially our anxious dog. We will definitely reach out to her for future pet needs!”
About: I’ve had over 8yrs in experience caring for family/friends companions. Dogs bring me so much joy! They can be so funny and attentive. I have experience with puppies-young adults. I am NOT shy to seniors or dogs with extra needs, that’s just extra love to give! I love hikes/runs and I love sitting on the couch all the same. Practicing more structured walks for the safety of your babies and myself. All dogs safe and welcomed! Currently a gym junkie, unemployed, and online masters student with plenty of free time. DoorDash and InstaCart are the only uses of time. Very flexible and accommodating. No other obligations. Always use slow/cautious approaches. Respecting their space(s). Following strict rules and suggestions. Making sure their necessities are replenished and/or cared for. Checking overall health and hygiene, taking any notes necessary for owners, and offering all the support needed for the furry friends.
About: Let's be honest: leaving your cat is the hardest part of any trip. You're missing them before you've even backed out of the driveway, wondering if they'll eat, if they'll hide, if they'll ever forgive you. When your kitty is with me, they'll enjoy their getaway as much as you enjoy yours, so you can travel guilt-free. And if you want the truly VIP experience? Take advantage of my door-to-door service, and your cat is escorted by me from your front door to mine, never riding with a stranger. It's time to enjoy your travels again. What sets me apart from other sitters? 👑 BOUTIQUE, CATS-ONLY CARE — YOUR KITTY CONCIERGE This is Fredericksburg’s only true cats-only home sitter in Fredericksburg. I don’t just treat your cat like another boarder, your cat is treated like an honored guest. 👑 Pet CPR & first-aid certified 👑 A private cat suite of their own (or shared with their litter mate), styled to match their personality 👑 A secure, screened catio for safe birdwatching and fresh air 👑 Cats only. No dogs, no barking, no chaos, just calm 🐾 A PEACEFUL, CAT-FRIENDLY HOME Every inch is thoughtfully and intentionally designed around what cats need to feel safe and loved. 🐾 Senior cat care & medication welcome 🐾 Shy & anxious cat solutions for the ones who need time to trust 🐾 Calming pheromone comforts in every room 🐾 I’m home around the clock, you never have to leave your cat in an empty building with an alarm again. 🐾 100% monitoring during catio time when owners give permission for catio play ➜ PEACE OF MIND, DELIVERED You booked this trip to relax or get things done at work. Leave your cat with me and watch your worries evaporate. My home is pet safe and no detail has been overlooked. ✨ Daily photos & updates ✨ Door-to-door pick-up & drop-off option ✨ Only four fur babies at a time, ever Because your cat isn't just a pet to me, they're family. I'll care for yours the way you would, with the same gentleness, attention, and love, so you can leave knowing they're in the safest hands. Come see why cat parents happily drive from all over to give their cat the coziest stay of their nine lives. I'm home all day, every day, so your pet is never left alone for long. Pet care isn't a side gig for me, it's my full focus. That means constant supervision, steady routines, plenty of playtime and affection, potty breaks, feedings, and medications given right on schedule, exactly when your pet needs them. Before your cat ever stays, you and I start with an in-depth consultation call or a relaxed meet-and-greet, because the secret to a calm stay is knowing your cat before they walk in the door. I want to hear it all: their personality and quirks, their favorite comforts and foods, their routine and hiding spots, any medications or medical needs, how they feel about other cats, and the little things that make them feel safe. It's also where you and I will go over vaccinations (current rabies and FVRCP are required, for everyone's safety) and any health history I should know. A few things I'll need from you: Your cat's full veterinary contact information, including your regular vet and your emergency preferences, so I'm ready to act fast if anything ever comes up. Current vaccination records and any medications, with clear instructions. Their honest personality, shy, spicy, senior, or social, so I can prep their suite and their days to fit them perfectly. And you're always welcome to bring their own bed, blanket, toys, food, and litter. Familiar smells make everything easier. The more I know, the more at home your cat feels, and the more you get to relax while you're away.
“I love when Madison takes care of my cat! I know she’s in great hands and will get the love she needs while I’m gone. I’ll keep rebooking for as long as Madison is available.”
“Lily was great with Toby and Sophie, right from the start. Toby is an anxious bulldog, but he took right to her. Lily was prompt on her visits, and handled everything as discussed. Great job!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - McHenry
Hailey did an absolutely AMAZING job with our babies. She treated them as if they were her own and they fell in love with her. She updated us each time she stopped in and even snapped a few priceless photos of our babies to show just how happy and well cared for they were. This was the first time we left them with a “stranger” and she quickly turned into their comfortable friend that would stop in to say hi. We will definitely book again with her if we are ever taking a trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 542 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across McHenry. 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.

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.
