Cat Sitting in New Virginia

“I’m traveling for a few weeks. Jessica has been popping by my place and checking on my kitty a couple times a week, feed, watering and scooping litter. She’s very sweet.”

“Allison did a perfect job checking in on my two cats while I was out of town. Booking her was fast and easy. She is punctual, respectful, follows directions, and is very communicative. She gave a thorough update and went above and beyond in her care. I definitely recommend booking with her. Thanks again, Allison!”

About: Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a nurse with a passion for working with children that extends to loving on strangers' pets! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing patience and routine, I’ve cared for them and treat every pet like they’re my own. My uncle has two American bullies, and my aunt has a senior dog that I offer to take care of from time to time while they are away. Those three angels are the reason why I decided to get my own dog! I have a deep love for animals and a calm, confident approach to pet care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free. I work three times a week on a self-scheduled basis. I will make sure to update my availability as soon as my schedule is out. When I have my free time I would love to give some TLC to your fur babies and make sure they are content and happy! I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own three fur babies. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I will follow your routines closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure to provide you with regular updates and tons of cute photos while you are away. My goal is peace of mind for both of you!

“Absolutely perfect. Great communication and updates. Things went very smoothly. Excellent kitty sitter!!”

About: I’ve pet sit for family/friends and I work at a kennel. I also own my own pets as well. I’m going to school to be a veterinarian technician. My work schedule changes a lot but I’m more than happy to work pet care in for you and your pet to make you happy! I treat the pets like they are my own and making sure they are getting enough attention and have the necessities they need through out the day.

“Lexi fed and played with our kitties every day and checked on our turtles. She stayed in constant communication to clarify their needs and sent cute photos. We will have her back!”

“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”

About: I prefer to dog sit in my own home or offer drop in service as I have dogs of my own at home. I know how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pet is well loved and cared for while you're away from home and to be able to have that peace of mind. My baby (4 y/o spayed female) gets along well with any size/breed of dog and would LOVE to make new friends! Let me help you put your mind at ease and love on your 4 legged friend or friends. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! 💞 I work from home so I am present all day, not usually gone for more than a couple hours in the evening if at all. At home, I am present all day for bathroom breaks and playtime (or sun naps) in the fenced backyard. I do not force my dog to stay off furniture or out of the bed but can easily crate your baby if needed/required. My dog is crate trained but free roams while I'm away unless I'm dog sitting where crating is needed. In your home, I'll do as asked. I prefer to spend some play time with them rather than just potty and leave where possible to make sure they are getting exercise and attention while you're away.

“Jess was such a great choice to watch my Sammy boy. We were gone from 5/22-6/1 and had no idea it was getting VERY warm here in Iowa. We did not yet have our window air conditioners in. At one point, it got to 85 in our house. I was able to have a neighbor install the window ac’s. Jess was concerned for Sam and offered to stop by to check on him (on a day that wasn’t originally on the calendar). I truly appreciate her doing that! We were in Florida and that helped eased my mind!! We’re already set up to have her take care of him later this summer. Thanks again Jess!”

About: Friends have relied on me to take care of their furry friends. I’ve watched small and medium dogs, as well as a kitten. The longest I have stayed at a house is for 5 days. I feed, walk, and play with pets. I am available evenings Tuesday - Saturday and all day Sunday and Monday. I work 8-4:30 throughout the week so I am available to walk dogs or do daycare at 5 pm. I take dogs out on walks, feed them, and occasionally cuddle with them on the couch as we watch reality tv shows. I have plenty of blankets so your pet will be nice and cozy!

“Lucia was great! She met with me ahead of time so i could have peace of mind and let her know what my pets needed while i was away. She also sent personal messages and pictures daily when she did check-ins. I highly recommend Lucia and will likely try to use her again in the future!”

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

About: Hi, I am Raelyn! I work for my sister’s business, HoneyK9 Training in Minnesota, and recently graduated college at Drake University! I have taken care of many animals through drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I have been relied on to feed, exercise, and love on the animals I am watching! I am a full time student currently working part time at a yoga studio. I have some extra time that I would love to be spending with animals At home, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. In my clients home if I am doing a drop in, I will make sure the dog gets let out at least 2 times before I leave, feed them if I am instructed to, and give them love. For house sitting, I have had a scheduled where I can leave the house for my yoga job, not for past a certain amount of hours, I make sure the dog is getting outside and getting fed. For walks, I have typically done 30 minute walks, making sure the dog goes potty, and is getting their exercise in for the walk!

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have always enjoyed caring for them. My cats have some medical needs so I’m open to discussing anything like that. I have also been around dogs my whole life, including watching neighbors and family member’s pups. I typically work irregular hours but will update my availability when I know!! I have weekends off and after 4:30 for sure every week day I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam and shade to cool off. If I’m coming to your home depending on it you have a cat or dog, I love to play and give animals lots of pets. But I will also follow the given instructions with food, water, and litter box if necessary.

About: I started babysitting kids at the young age of 14 but I’d have to say that watching dogs and cats are a lot easier! I found a lot of joy in taking care of my brother’s dogs for years, and was lucky enough to have a roommate with an emotional support husky named Sky throughout college! I helped co-parent Sky on many occasions by providing walks, feeding, and snuggles and I look forward to helping you co-parent your fur baby in your time of need! Being that I just recently graduated, I have tons of free time! My schedule is extremely flexible, I’m available for boarding as early as 10am Mon-Sat! That being said, Im currently job hunting so my availability is subject to change, but will definitely be updated as those changes occur! While I don’t have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood is spacious and dog friendly which makes it perfect for walks! If your dog is potty trained there’s also a ton of space in my home for him or her to get comfy!

“Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.”

“Sam was so fantastic with our two cats while we were away on vacation! Although our kitties are pretty low maintenance, she spent quality time with them while taking care of their needs. Our cats are normally antisocial, but we received several pictures during our time away that would prove otherwise! They were obviously happy to have her visit, and we received great updates to help alleviate the pet guilt that comes with vacation. We will definitely be contacting her next time we are away!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the experience I’ve had caring for dogs from a young age. I’ve always helped take care of my uncle’s dog, making sure she was fed, taken out to go potty, and had someone to play with. I’m very patient and always pay attention to what each dog needs—whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and do my best to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to care for pets, especially dogs. I really enjoy being around animals—it gives me a chance to get outside, stay active, and do something I love. Spending time with pets is not only fun for me, but it also helps me stay balanced and happy during the week. When caring for pets, I always make sure their needs come first. With my own dog, I take him outside regularly—whether it’s for potty breaks or just to enjoy some fresh air. I stay by his side the whole time to make sure he feels safe, loved, and not alone. Whether I’m at home or at a client’s home, I give the same level of attention, making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I’m always patient and gentle, and I make sure to show them lots of love and affection.

About: I have cared for cats since I was a kid. I am looking forward to being a warm host to their needs, or I guess they own me, so I will be a good pet to them. I can host a cat forever. I am also good with dogs, mostly dog walking. I work from home on weekdays. I can be flexible with my schedule during weekends for longer sittings. Overnight cat sitting is the best. Dog walking is available during weekdays only. I live in an apartment so the pets will mostly stay inside, I will give them a walk as needed for poo, and pee breaks or work from your insight on what your baby likes to do and their schedule.
