About: I did have two cats of my own that I used to care for unfortunately they are not with me, but I still want to care for your own I’m currently available to take care of your cats and pets. I’m available all days of the week, including weekends to care for your own pet. I don’t have any pets of my own so I could care for your pets. I have a fenced backyard, a clean environment, and a lovely full of joy home.
About: I have been around and taken care of cats since my mom and I rescued 3 kittens from side of the road. When we picked them up and took them to the vet they were only 2 weeks old. We had to quickly learn how to take care of them to make sure they survived. From nursing them to stimulating them so that then could go to the bathroom , to waking up every hour to make sure they were okay and warm. They are now 6 years old! Those are now my mom's babies, I ended up getting my own 2 babies 2 years later from a shelter. One of my boys has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (it's mild) which means he's a little wobbly and off balance. With his condition it has made me much more patient, caring and understanding to any animals with any disabilities or impairments I work full-time during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your cats the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always make sure we discuss your pets routine and needs beforehand so I can provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter box, and care instructions provided by the owner. I’m very respectful of each petsp personality and boundaries and never force interaction. I make sure doors and windows are secure, litter areas are kept clean, fresh food and water are available, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet prefers. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your baby is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve always had animals in my life. We grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, even a duck! We’ve had our animals from babies to adults so I know how to care for animals of all ages. I understand the importance of training and attention for puppies & kittens as well as the patience & extra needed care that elderly pets may require. I’ve always been the go to sitter for friends and family as they know I’ll treat their animals with the same love I have for my own. I’m currently full time but work different hours throughout the week so there’s times where I’m available to care for pets before a shift, after a shift, or both! I have more availability on weekends and sometimes have extra time during the week as well. I have a fenced back yard where your doggos can run around and enjoy some much needed play time and let out their zoomies! I have a 5 year old Olde English Bulldog named Ozzo who’s a sweetheart and loves to play (only for about 10 mins before he gets tired) and a cat Bobo who keeps to himself.
“Amanda is wonderful! She took great care of our kitties & our apartment (the kitties knocked over a plant and she cleaned everything up so nicely). This was our 2nd time booking with her and we will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have been pet and house sitting since 2022. So far I have been pet sitting for friends and their friends, but I wanted to extend my services to the lovely people in my area. I grew up with a big dog as our family pet. Though he is no longer with us he was the perfect sassy addition to our family. Since I have started pet sitting I have had 4-legged clients of ALL sizes, we are talking teacup pup to 100+ lbs. I also have experience with all ages ranging from ~6months to senior and I understand their different needs and energy levels. I love to run and walk especially when a doggy friend tags along. I DO have experiment giving oral medications. I am an engineering student at GMU and my schedule can be a little funky compared to a typical 9-5. Please reach out to check my specific daily and long term availability! I take very great care for the safety of the animals that I watch over. I take special care when unleashing dogs to make sure that we are in a secure location (ex. Closed garage/door or fence). While on walks, even with friendly dogs, I try to stay away from others to prevent any potential incidents from happening. I also have experience with giving animals oral medication. I take close care to keep the medications on schedule and triple check that the medication was taken and not spit out (they can be sneaky sometimes).
“After meeting Dilya, I knew my little ones were in excellent hands - and it was clear that they loved her. She was communicative and - most importantly - reliable. I would book her again!”
“Raquel was super sweet and accommodating to Mike, our diabetic cat. She was willing to take on the responsibility of injecting insulin twice daily to Mike and was punctual each day. Very communicative, quickly responding to any and all messages sent, there was no delay at all! She takes caring for animals seriously and won’t let your pet go without!”
“Kerry was an excellent house-sitter for our two cats. She communicated quickly and clearly, showed up on time for the meet-and-greet, and asked perceptive questions. During the stay, she sent thoughtful updates that showed she truly understood outs cats' personalities. Our house was clean and in excellent shape upon our arrival, and the cats were content. We couldn't have asked for more!”
“Brigette is awesome. She’s helped us out with our near senior, somewhat particular spaniel and way too energetic kitten a couple of times now. We come back and they’re tired (in a good way) and happy. We trust her in our home and with our critters. Will definitely use Brigette going forward.”
About: Since I was born, I had dogs of all kind. I worked for some refuge in France for couple years I know how to take care of dogs or even cat I love walking so I'm ready for long walk 😁 I will take care and love your animals like mine ^^ Right now I'm not working, so I'm free all the time and all the day for your pet(s) ! So even if you need my service for special hours, it's not a problem 👌 I'm a French pastry chef, I worked for 1y at Boulangerie Christophe So I have 1 dog medium size very calm and even little scared some time. I have also 1 cat who is ok with other dog without any trouble.
“Kai is very responsible for our pets, and she’s really nice and loving, and took great care of my pets. She’s always on time and patient. She followed the request and did everything I asked for!”
“I had such a great experience with Zoe! She watched my cat for a few hours and made sure I felt completely at ease. When I asked for an update, she responded quickly, let me know he was doing well, and even sent pictures—which I loved! When I picked him up, she filled me in on how he’d been and I could tell he was comfortable and happy in her care. I really appreciate her communication and the calm, welcoming environment she provided. Highly recommended!! :)”
“Daniella did such a great job caring for my 2 slightly nervous kitties. They seemed to get comfortable around her very quickly and communication and updates were amazing and very appreciated! It’s clear she helped them feel safe and happy and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Willow is amazing, very passionate about animals and it shows with each visit. The pics she sent shows how happy my pets are to see her with every time she drops in! I will certainly have her watch them again!”
About: I have taken care of animals for most of my life in a way that makes the animal and owner comfortable, happy, and meets their needs. I have another job that I work for and my hours vary but I am still able to see the animal(s) at many times if needed. I have more availability during the summer time. If I am spending an afternoon in a clients home, I will find one spot to sit in and let the animals approach me. I'll make myself available, and show them I am here to care for them. I believe in earning their trust.
About: My experience comes from years of being around and caring for pets belonging to family and close friends. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing so I definitely understand how important it is for your fur babies to feel loved, safe, and cared for while their favorite people are away. Pets are family too and I’ll treat yours with that same level of care and attention. I also have close family and friends connected to the military, so I understand how unpredictable and demanding military life can be. Long workdays and changing schedules can make having reliable pet care especially important. I want to be someone you can count on when life gets busy or plans change. Whether you’re fur baby needs a walk, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply someone trustworthy to check in on them, I’m happy to help. I’m great at following instructions and paying attention to the little things that make each pet unique. My goal is to give every pet plenty of attention, affection, and quality care while making your time away easier and giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I recently moved to the area and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. My main daily commitment is making sure my two kids get on and off the school bus safely and on time, which means I have flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, drop ins, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and companionship. I’ll also provide regular updates so you know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. For walks and drop ins, I focus on making each visit fun, safe, and engaging while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience comfortable for both you and your fur babies and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for.
“Lira has been sitting Niki for two years for two years. Niki is always well cared for and a happy girl when we get home. She is the absolute best. Niki loved her (and she’s kind of an aloof kitty).”

Miss Hannah was absolutely amazing. Our boys absolutely adore her. She was super patient when I was running late for the key handover and was super understanding. We appreciate her working with our kitties, she is truly AMAZING and we couldn’t recommend her enough!!!! Book book book miss Hannah! Thank you SO SO much! ☺️😸😸🐾🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Denisa is exceptional! We have booked her for drop in services several times while we were of town and each time she has exceeded our expectations. We have a geriatric cat who requires medication and a little extra care. Denisa does an amazing job tending to his needs and carefully follows all instructions. (She is amazing with our younger kitty, too.) Denisa is super responsive and follows up with pictures and updates on our kitties after each visit. I highly recommend Denisa for drop ins and especially for older animals that may need extra TLC. She is A++++
Taylor did an exceptional job taking care of my cats. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Taylor was attentive, reliable, and treated my cats with so much love and care. I truly appreciated the updates and peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets.
Brigette is awesome. She’s helped us out with our near senior, somewhat particular spaniel and way too energetic kitten a couple of times now. We come back and they’re tired (in a good way) and happy. We trust her in our home and with our critters. Will definitely use Brigette going forward.
Lohan did an amazing job taking care of Tracy and Lola! He stepped in last minute and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. He exceeded my expectations, was kind, dependable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book his services again the next time I need someone to care for my pets. Highly recommend!
She is a great pet sitter ! 😊 . She’s not just a sitter that sits around and watches your pet. She actually plays with them and loves them like they’re her own. I loved the pictures that she sends and she’s a very great communicator. ! Will be looking forward to booking her again
I booked rather last minute and thrilled that Mateo was able to accommodate m and my little beasties. He was incredibly communicative and checked in regularly. I felt so good knowing the beasties were in good hands. Will definitely try to work with him again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best cat sitter I could have asked for! I’m very particular about my cats’ care, and I left detailed written instructions along with videos. She followed everything exactly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brushed my long-haired cats, which I really appreciated and wasn’t something I expected. When I got home, they were happy, well cared for, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. It was obvious they had been looked after with genuine care and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Occoquan is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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.

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.

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.
