“Bhavana was so awesome. She trekked through flooded streets to get to our house and drop in for visits with our cat while we were away. She takes lot of photos which is great if you’re obsessed with your pet like we are 😂. Highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again in the future!”
About: 👋Hi everybody! My name is Madison and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a current Masters student at EVMS studying surgical assisting. I am unable to work full time due to the rigor of the program so I love watching pets as a part time job. 🏡 I currently live in an apartment in downtown Norfolk with my boyfriend of 8 years, Grant. Grant helps out with potty breaks and walks if I am ever not home. We are both students and have internships so if your pet needs someone with them at all times, we unfortunately can only provide this on the weekends. 🐶I have experience with senior & adult dogs, cats, administering medications & puppies! I also volunteer at the Norfolk Animal Care Center in my free time to help out the shelter animals and be involved in my local community. We have no pets in our apartment currently. 🐱If chosen to care for your pets I will treat them with the love and respect that I would give my own pet. I love to send photo updates to the owner so that you can be assured that your pet is in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! My class schedule is very flexible so I am able to offer frequent potty breaks and walks as needed! This allows me to follow the routine that your pet is already accustomed to I grew up with dogs in my parents home my whole life. My own dogs are spoiled and loved so much, so I will be sure to treat your animals the same way. My dogs love walks, playing outside, snuggles, and treats. I can promise that your animals will be treated no different than my own. I currently do not have any pets in my apartment
“Jordan was a wonderful choice to care for our multiple kitty cats! She was responsive and responsible. She allowed our family to vacation without worry for our pets. I highly recommend Jordan for your next sitting need. A five star experience! Thank you Jordan!”
About: Hello! I’ve owned 3 dogs, one small and two medium, my last border collie was the only one I trained since the other two behaved so well, I taught him a lot of “patience” tricks for him to be comfortable not being around me since he had separation anxiety, I also taught him different tricks and did different exercises from day to day since well he is a border collie haha. Other than that I’ll follow your list of demands and pet needs while you’re away, don’t worry your baby is in good hands!! I am currently in the military, so my schedule is not flexible. I’ll be completely off on the weekends but on weekdays I’ll be free after 4pm some days possible 3pm. I cannot do Thursdays unfortunately that’s my busiest day of the week. If you need overnight pet sitting I don’t mind at all just let me know! I cannot take any pets “home” because i currently live in the barracks and I won’t be able to give the needed support for your furry friend.
“Quinn was amazing as our pet sitter for our cat Leo. He went above and beyond while I was away for several days, and I'm truly astonished at how easy Quinn made my vacation. Leo has a lot of requirements as far as taking care of him, and Quinn rose to the occasion in a huge way, and I really got the safe feeling Leo would be taken care of very well while I was away. Would definitely recommend Quinn as a pet sitter!!! Your pets are in good hands if you do”
“I booked Teresa again and she was as great as the 1st time. She updated me with pictures, and my two cats looked happy on them. My house was clean when I arrived, and my boys were happy. I would book her again!”
“Rodney is great with my two cats. They warmed up to him fast and he spent more than a month making sure they were taken care of. As active military, I couldn’t do it without him.”
“Alyssa was awesome! We have an elderly cat who has recently lost his sight and is very skittish. We were nervous to leave him while we were traveling, but Alyssa quickly put us at ease. She kept us updated with thoughtful and thorough check-ins and was kind, patient, and consistent with us and our cat! As a result, our very nervous cat warmed right up to her and we had the confidence to relax and enjoy our trip. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Rachel was so amazing and attentive to my cats! I felt much more comfortable while I was away knowing someone who genuinely cared about my pets while I was away. I will definitely be booking woth Rachel again next time I am out if town!”

About: I have worked at two different doggy daycares. I managed groups of large and small dogs in a supervised, high-activity environment while maintaining safety and organization. I maintained clean and well-organized play and kennel areas to ensure a healthy environment and positive client experience.

About: I’ve never really known life without pets. Dogs and cats have been part of my household since I was a toddler. I've cared for a pretty wide range of personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels.. I’ve also provided occasional pet sitting for friends and family, including walks, feeding routines, and basic grooming, and overnight care. I currently have two cats of my own, who are frequently spoiled. So I am also well-versed in cat care. In the past I’ve owned several other cats and dogs, including a Jack Russell Terrier, a Black Lab Retriever, and a Coonhound. I am conscientious about the pets in my care. I take the time to get to know the animals and follow their normal routine as much as possible. I can happily provide energetic walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Whatever their particular needs and quirks, I will be attentive and affectionate with your pets while you are away. I am currently currently working from home part-time. My schedule is usually flexible, so I can accommodate the specific needs of your pets. I look forward to talking with you. I am very communicative with my clients. I want to you to be confident that your pet will be well cared for. I strictly follow my clients’ instructions and can send pictures and updates as often as requested.
“Kim-Elaine is an awesome sitter. It was my first experience with Rover and it was great! Kim-Elaine texted me photos of my dog while I was away and kept in touch with what Gizmo was doing and how she was doing. I will definitely ask for Kim-Elaine to sit again in the future. Thanks Kim-Elaine!!!”
About: Being a professional nanny for the last 10 years has also brought me a plethora of furry friends - I have always loved animals growing up and I have been lucky enough to gain experience with different types of animals throughout my life, including horses and smaller critters! I'm an overall animal lover, and have had plenty of experience with dog/cat sitting and walking, feeding, and overnight stays! I am currently based in Brooklyn but also travel frequently! Feel free to reach out even if you are not local to Brooklyn :) I currently take classes online, and work online mostly, so my schedule is usually very flexible! I do prefer at least 1-2 days notice, but if I am available last minute, I will always be in touch as quickly as I can! I do not offer pet care in my home but in the client's home my only goal is to respect the wishes of your home and make sure your pet is well taken care of, safe, and happy!

Larry is a great communicator and does a great job keeping an eye on my cat while I’m out of town. He’s very understanding that she is not super social but he makes sure she has everything she needs to be safe and happy while I’m away and does a great job staying in touch so I never wonder how she is doing.
Jordan was fantastic!! She sent many photos each visit and was flexible and happy to work with me on my crazy last minute schedule changes and trip with limited cell service. She took great care of my cat and the outdoor stray cat and my cat loved her, which isn't always the case with new people!!
Quinn was amazing as our pet sitter for our cat Leo. He went above and beyond while I was away for several days, and I'm truly astonished at how easy Quinn made my vacation. Leo has a lot of requirements as far as taking care of him, and Quinn rose to the occasion in a huge way, and I really got the safe feeling Leo would be taken care of very well while I was away. Would definitely recommend Quinn as a pet sitter!!! Your pets are in good hands if you do
Lisa was wonderful! She followed all instructions, including giving medications to one of our cats. We received daily pictures and updates. The cats liked her a lot, which says a lot about her personality! Will definitely rebook in the future, and highly recommend!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Norfolk is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
