About: I have 10 years of experience caring for my first cat, 8 years with my second cat, and 4 years with my dog. As a longtime pet owner, I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. I understand the importance of patience, attention, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own! My schedule is very flexible! I currently take online classes, so I have plenty of free time throughout the day. This allows me to be available for pet sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and giving your pets plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and accommodate your pet’s needs! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I always provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Since I was in middle school, I have spent countless hours looking after pets of friends and family members! From long walks around the neighborhood, to brushing pounds of fur, to playing silly games, I take great joy in spending time with all types of fur-babies :) I believe reliability and consistency are most important, and will always refer to your guidelines to provide the best care for your pet. I am currently working full time, but can help after 2pm on Saturdays, have full availability on Sundays, as well as every evening after 6pm on weekdays. I also have a rotating off day during the week, so if you have a specific day you need, please reach out and I will try to accommodate! I have a fenced yard big enough to play casual games of fetch. I have a cat in the house, but no dogs or kids. I will accommodate if your animal needs to be kept separate from my cat. My neighborhood is safe and walkable to take your dog out for a stroll!

About: From growing up around cats and dogs to working as a supervisor at a dog daycare, I’m confident that your pet will be in good hands with me. I have dogs of my own who are all very socialized, experience with old dogs too. Medication management for dogs is second nature to me so you won’t have to worry about any missing carprofen doses. Just reach out to me and I’ll see when I what works. I have a lot of time on my hands so just communicate :) All my dogs get wet food, dental treats, joint supplement, the works. They’re spoiled lol they have lots of dog beds and they can get on whatever furniture they want. I do my best to make sure my dogs get the life they deserve. I also take them to the dog park pretty often so they’re socialized with strangers and other dogs well.

About: I’ve house sat for a number of families for almost a decade. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, puppies, and turtles! I can manage multiple animals at once, and have been known to complete a few home chores in the process. I am reliable and hard working and love sending you pictures of your fur babies while you’re away so you can see how they are doing! Communication is the most important key to house and pet sitting. I look forward to working with you and your family! My typical schedule: Work: Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Sunday School: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday ** I have a few hours in between classes so depending on how close the sitting location is I can do a check in or walk! ** I always make sure I am at the pets home if I am not at work or school so they constantly have company, or if they require outside time or an emergency I am there. I enjoy sending photos of pets to their family so they can see how their baby is doing! I have experience administering medications and following specific feeding routines.

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

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Norfolk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Norfolk is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 336 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Norfolk. 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 Norfolk. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
