About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will make sure your beloved friend is happy. Not just fed or exercised, but emotionally comforted and cared for. I do this for fun, I love to go to animal shelters and cat cafes on my free time. And I'm sure I'll love to spend time with your best friend too. My experience in taking care of animals comes from my whole life. However, more specifically I have been the primary caretaker of my dog Sparky for years. Walking him, bathing him, feeding him, playing with him, and not as a chore, but because I had so much fun doing so. Other than that, I will list my other experience for anyone who wishes to read more: For the first 9 years of my life, I was in a household with 3 cats. I a pug named Emma for the first 4-ish years of my life, getting pug stuffed animals to name after her for years after. When I was 8 I got Sparky, and he was so awesome, so energetic (he still is) so adorable, so everything. My 3 cats, Kita, Salem, and Maggie, each of their passings were all hard on me, and sparky's never ending hyperness and lovingness was so important in helping me move forward. We later got a 2nd dog named Gus who stops in his tracks whenever my mom or my sister walk him, but for me he's willing to walk more. I'm not sure why but I'm glad since I love to walk, it's so calming, especially with dogs. I'm available full time on the days listed. I am a student and have an internship on the other days but for those days I'm free. If it changes you will see the listed schedule change. I take care of them by not just doing the bare minimum, but going the extra mile. Cleaning up their bowls before giving new food and water. Taking them on long walks but planning the route to align with water fountains to make sure they are hydated and don't overheat. Doing occasional jogs on their runs, playing with them in new and unique ways as much as possible, and so much more.
“Theresa was great! I needed someone last minute to drop in on my pups while I was traveling and she got back to me very quickly to confirm she could. She took great care of my dogs, and they can be a bit of a handful. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, tortoises, frogs, hamsters, etc. I love all animals dearly and have experience with young pets as well as seniors! I'm currently working full-time so my availability is limited to hours outside of 9-5 on Mondays through Fridays and weekends, although I can provide walks at lunchtime. My availability tends to be quite open on weekends. I live in an apartment complex so I do not have a private fenced in yard, but there are plenty of parks and open spaces near my home in which I can provide plenty of walking and exercise space (on leash!)
“Judy was absolutely amazing! She made the entire experience stress free. She was reliable, communicative, and sent me updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took great care of my cat, respected her personalities and boundaries, and genuinely cared about her wellbeing.”
“Julie is fabulous! I am so very happy to have found her on Rover! I wanted someone who knew cats, who lived nearby, who did not charge an arm and a leg, who had a reasonable cancellation policy, and, of course, who was responsible. Well, I won the lottery with Julie! Yes, I did! Julie is fabulous, absolutely FABULOUS! From the very start (and throughout the entire time), Julie was fast to respond to my requests, my questions, my texts, etc. It was clear that she wanted to ensure we were on the same page, from the beginning, and that we remained on the same page throughout. Outstanding! And, since my schedule often changes, sometimes at the very last minute, her reasonable cancellation policy will not cause me to hesitate to enlist her services again and again. And, since my cat pretty much goes into hiding whenever I am away, caring for my cat becomes simple, easy, and quick - clean the litterbox, provide fresh food and water, then depart. Well, it was here that Julie went the extra mile. Julie washed out the food containers I use to store my cat's wet food, yet I had not asked her to do that! How very thoughtful and generous! Thank you so much, Julie! Thank you for being a FABULOUS cat sitter!”
“Larry did a great job communicating with me while I was out of town and was super accommodating for my anti-social cat. I knew she well cared for and safe! He did a great job following instructions and keeping me updated. Will definitely book again.”
About: I have had a dog all my life both big and small. I also cat sit and I’m willing to take care of all animals. Helping with your pets helps me be happy:) I am a PA student and I have classes from 10-3 most days. I am available to check in before or after class at anytime. I also am available weekends as well. I currently don’t have any pets in my home. I live in an apartment and I’m willing to go sit at your place or check in on the animals when needed.
“We’ve hired Tyler to watch our cat while on vacation a few times. He exercises great communication and we know Benny always has a great time playing with Tyler. We will continue using him in the future.”
“This is our first time trying pet sitting and we were pretty unsure about it. Jessica helped us navigate the process and did a great job with our kitties. We’ll definitely ask for her help 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
About: I absolutely adore animals! I've lived with pets all my life and right now my two cats bring me endless joy. I love taking walks with my sister and her sweet pup, and I am ready and excited to walk with your furry friend! I'm flexible with my hours and am more than happy to take as long of a stroll as your dog wants. I've lived in Norfolk my whole life and I'm very familiar with all the best places for a great walk. I understand the value of hard work and I'm prepared to bring my work ethic to every job I am offered. I think pets make for the most wonderful friends in the world and I'm dedicated to provide the best and most reliable care to your pet!! I work as a teacher during the school year, so during the summer I am incredibly flexible. I have a lot of availability during the day and on most evenings as well. I am a responsible and reliable pet sitter. I make sure to take the time to get to know your pet and to make them as comfortable as possible. I am clean and punctual, and will always be sure that your pet is fed, played with, and happy!
“We hired Kylie to take care of our babies for 10 days and I couldn’t be more pleased. I was very nervous as this was the first time leaving them in the hands of someone else for so long. She gave constant updates and took care of my babies just as she said she would. She was in constant communication and everything went smooth. She has no problem giving me pictures and updates. I will happily use her again in the future. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, friendly sitter — Kylie is the one. Can’t thank her enough!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. From every size and breed, from Beagle to Pitbull-Mastiff mix. Imagine your anxious dog when you get home from work, super ready for a long walk... well that's me. I am a pediatric psych nurse at CHKD so I get home from work and can't sit and relax on the couch. So dog walking or sitting would help to tucker me and your dog out! If you have a strict schedule for when your pup should be fed or walked, or how much food, etc, I will do exactly what you ask. If you have a certain route or play routine, I will oblige. All in all, I want to make you and your dog happy and become a trusted and loyal person in both of your lives! I also have 3 cats so I would also be able to help with your kitties as well!
“Myrna always goes above and beyond every time she visits and it’s why we have decided to employ her services each time we go on a trip. To know our fur babies are safe and sound is the true key to enjoying time off and away. Thank you Myrna!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Norfolk is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Norfolk
Jaclyn was so good with my kitties. They really gave her a rough time ( screech is incredibly shy & very good at hiding; Nijinsky had GI distress that was … pretty gross!) Jaclyn stepped up, cleaned up, and spent extra time trying to make sure the house was well cared for and that the cats were ok. She was very communicative through issues and a great pet sitter overall! I will be using her services again if she’s willing to come back to the cat diarrhea household 🥴 Thanks Jaclyn!
Judy was absolutely amazing! She made the entire experience stress free. She was reliable, communicative, and sent me updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took great care of my cat, respected her personalities and boundaries, and genuinely cared about her wellbeing.
Larry did a great job communicating with me during my entire trip and had no trouble adjusting to the moods of my occasionally anti-social cat. I never have to worry when he is looking after her— I always know she is getting the attention she needs from someone who is thoughtful and kind. Great Rover sitter!
Tyler was great! This was my first time using Rover, and Tyler helped walk me through the process. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing that my cat was in good hands. He was patient with my very shy cat and took great care of her, and I came home to a safe, healthy, happy cat! Would definitely book with Tyler again.
We booked Kylie again for our fur babies for a quick weekend getaway, and we are just as happy as our first booking with her. Kylie communicates well, is punctual, and always checking in with us. One of our cats is diabetic and I have zero worries with Kylie, and she has been a breath of fresh air when it comes to looking after our babies and being able to enjoy our trips. I highly recommend her services. She’s a keeper for sure! Thanks Kylie P!

As of August 2026, there are 1,138 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 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.
