“Reona was a fantastic sitter for our two cats. She was thorough, always on time, extremely easy to work with, and very loving with our cats. She provided wonderful and detailed updates on how the cats were doing, including great photos of them playing at every visit. I was very impressed and highly recommend her!”

About: Hello! I'm Valentina! I have experience caring for pets of different ages and needs, including my 10 year old cat and my sister’s 4 year old dog. Most recently, I cared for a Giant Schnauzer puppy right through his crazy growth spurt, from the day he came home at 3 months old all the way until he was 7 months old! Working with a high energy, big pup takes a lot of patience, consistency, and structure, so I kept him on a solid daily routine with twice a day walks to burn off that puppy energy and practice good leash manners. I’m also a very active person and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying on the move, so I love being able to bring that energy and enthusiasm into caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule and I’m generally available for walks and drop-in visits in the morning from 7:30 to 9:30 AM and in the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. A little advance notice is always appreciated so I can plan my day and make sure I can give your pup the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their familiar routine. I find that pets tend to feel more relaxed and at ease in their own space, especially when their owners are away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or any special instructions, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have owned dogs in the past, so I understand the different stages of a dog’s life, from puppyhood to their senior years. I know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I believe in giving them the patience, attention, and care they deserve. As a cat mom of three, I also have plenty of experience caring for pets with different temperaments and grooming needs. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, meals, or extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, check-ins, and companionship for your pets while you’re away. I’m also flexible with scheduling and happy to work with you to find a routine that best fits your pet’s needs. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, and any other specific care they need. Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies, so I make sure to follow all care instructions, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away!

About: Hi there! If you’re looking for a cozy, safe, and super loving environment for your furry best friend, you’ve definitely found the right place. I’ve been surrounded by paws and purrs my whole life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from tiny, energetic 1-month-old babies to sweet, 15-year-old seniors who just want a quiet place to snuggle. My wife, our friends, and I are all huge animal lovers, so your pet will get endless cuddles, belly rubs, and attention here! I'd love to help you with boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking. For boarding, we have an awesome setup in McLean: a comfy 1-bedroom place with a fully fenced backyard. It’s absolutely perfect for safe, off-leash zoomies and relaxing in the sun! We also have a house in Vienna, which is home to our three chill, 2-year-old American Shorthair cats. As a devoted pet dad myself, I know exactly how hard it is to leave your babies behind. That’s why I treat every pet exactly like my own. I pay close attention to healthy diets, love setting up fun enrichment (I even grow fresh cat grass!), taking the pups on nice long walks, and I don't mind giving them a bath if they get a little messy from playing. I promise to send you lots of cute photo updates so you can relax knowing they're having a great time. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care is a seamless part of our daily routine! My wife works fully remote, meaning someone is almost always home to provide round-the-clock love and attention. I work a hybrid schedule and only go into the office two days a week. By teaming up, we guarantee your pet gets consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of midday cuddles. You will never have to worry about your furry family member being left alone for long stretches—they will always have a loving human companion nearby to play with or snuggle next to! For dogs, our McLean location features a fully fenced backyard, providing a perfectly secure space for off-leash zoomies and safe outdoor play. For cats staying at our Vienna home, we offer flexible setups: a social 'Youth Hostel' vibe with our three friendly resident cats, or a quiet 'Private Suite' for pets who need their own peaceful space. Because our own cats are notorious little thieves who are always trying to sneak a bite of our bread and human food, we’ve become experts at pet-proofing! We maintain strict habits to keep our entire home meticulously clean, organized, and free of any accessible hazards. You can rest assured that our whole house is a 100% pet-friendly and secure environment. We strictly follow your feeding and medication guidelines, always double-check that gates and doors are secure, and tailor our care to your pet's needs. Whether that means taking dogs for long, stimulating walks, setting up engaging enrichment activities, or giving them a gentle bath after a messy play session, your pet is in safe and loving hands!

About: I’ve owned a dog before and have been fostering dogs and cats regularly. I have experience with puppies and large dogs. Currently, I own a cat named Ronnie and continue to foster pets, gaining more hands-on experience every day. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be home most of the time to provide your pets with my undivided attention. I ensure that your pets have the freedom to signal when they need to go outside, making their comfort and needs a top priority. I reside in a basement area with direct access to a small, fenced backyard, providing a secure outdoor space for pets. The living area has wood flooring and gates to prevent stair access, which is particularly beneficial for pets with weak joints.

I will definitely book Kaleigh again for not only a drop in but overnights where it fits her schedule. Thanks Kaleigh, I know Honeybear enjoyed your visit.”

About: Hi there! I love animals and have been dog sitting since 2012! I myself have owned dogs growing up and adopted a cat named Albus in 2014! I also have experience with fish, bunnies, chickens, geckos, chameleons, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and frogs! I previously volunteered at a local zoo putting together meals for animals so I had plenty of experience with meal prep and feedings, even with live food. If you are not seeing availability for what you need please message me! Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to do a formal interview! I work weekdays between 8 and 5. I am free after work on most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and after 7pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. House sitting may be limited to the weekend depending on my work schedule. I may have some flexibility with advanced notice, please feel free to message me if you aren’t seeing availability for what you need. Most of my availability will be during weekends at any time of day. I love playing with animals and will happily keep them entertained! I also will give plenty of pets and affection if you pet enjoys that! I have worked with many dogs and cats of all ages and levels of energy and can accommodate accordingly! I love snapping photos (if ok’d) of your pets to share with you!

About: Growing up, we had almost as many dogs as we did kids in the house. My parents were huge pet people, so I guess they just passed it down to me as well however, even as a child, I always had a love of animals. There were many times that I brought home birdies with broken wings, or tried to sneak frog in the house without my mom noticing. My love for animals only grew the older I got but also my education. Being able to work directly under licensed veterinarians, gave me the opportunity to understand treatment plans for minor and major issues that animals can face. I was given the opportunity to work with newborn animals along with those that require senior care. I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of animals that are expecting and helping to bring new life into the world. It was during this time, but many friends and neighbors took the opportunity to ask me to watch their animals. Anytime they went on vacation or maybe just had to take a long business trip. Even when an animal is in their home, having a new person around can still sometimes be nerve-racking. But I take pride in knowing that I’m able to make sure they feel comfortable and loved even when their parents are away. I work from home teaching English as a second language. This allows me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I have open availability Monday through Friday. I’m also able to help out on the weekends depending on the timing. However, I’m willing to be flexible. Traveling as an adult with pets can sometimes be difficult. I remember being stressed over whether or not I’ve picked the right boarding facility, or worrying that they would have too many differences in their day-to-day routine while I was away. Pets deserve to feel just as loved and cared for even when moms and dads need a vacation. I would love to be able to provide both you owners and your pets with a sense of trust and security.

About: I have two senior pups of my own! One has arthritis and the other needs insulin shots daily, so I’m very familiar with and love going at the pet’s pace on walks 🥰. I worked at a professional pet care company this past summer, and have been taking care of my neighbor’s animals since I was a little kid! I am a college student currently so my schedule is quite interesting! I’d love to use my free time to take care of your babies, and I greatly enjoy the mood boost and exercise that comes from dog walking. My main priority when taking care of an animal is their comfort and needs. If we are going for a walk, I will make sure their harness is secure and we do not interact with other people or animals (just to avoid a reactive situation). If your pet is a senior, I’ll happily go at their own pace! I have two senior babies myself so they can’t be outside for as long anymore. The same goes for shy dogs, I will never force your pet into a situation where they seem uncomfortable being, such as going for a walk when they are fighting the harness being put on.

I’m looking forward to making your pet the happiest they can be! I’m home from college for the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I’m looking forward to adding some pet sitting/dog walking into my schedule! I have a dog and 3 cats at home so I wouldn’t want to stress anyone out by bringing another animal into that. I’d gladly come over and play/keep your fur baby company as long as they need!

About: I am a dog lover looking for extra income. I live by myself with my dog. He is a service dog and we do everything together. I grew up with 2 rotties and a boxer so i am very comfortable with larger dog breeds. We hike every single day about 5 miles a day, so we do lead very active lifestyle. If your pet needs senior care, we will adjust. I work for myself, so I make my own schedule and have time to care for your dog as well. I work for myself so I make my own hours. I usually work about 4 hours a day Tuesday to Friday. I am off Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Safety is my #1 priority whether its your dog or mine. I take away toys and bulky sticks if I leave the house so they dont choke on things by accident. I have a crate in case I dog sit a nervous dog so it can relax and get much needed rest in between walks. I am also big into training and reading dogs body language to avoid conflict. If the dog we are sitting is nervous around other dogs, then I make sure we skip socializing with other dogs and focus on training to help build confidence

About: Grew up with both dogs and cats and learned to read the little ways they communicate. I'll be sure to treat them as my own but under your specific guidance and instruction, making sure they're comfortable and cared for while you're away. I can get them moving, tucker them out, or just give them belly pats until you're home—either way, I'm sure they'll have fun! I'm a writer by day, which basically means I'm 'unemployed.' But this is great for you because I'll have plenty of time for your pets! (Not so great for the gas bill however...) It also means I have a very flexible schedule and can bend to your scheduling needs. I'm certain we can work out a time that works for both of us. I was in the Navy and the NSA and held a Top-Secret Clearance for over six years. (They don't just give those things out to anyone.) But if that's not enough to get you to feel safe, I'm also CPR certified, was an EMT, and have experience watching pets of family and friends for years and nothing bad has ever happened.

Megan was fantastic with my cats! You can tell from the photos that they were all happy and comfortable with her. Lots of calm body language 💕 She absolutely loves your animals like her own. My cats have their own quirks/cat dynamics and she was able to pick on them very quickly. 😊 She has great attention to detail and is a great communicator. She brought up litter concerns with one of my elderly cats, and we were able to work with a game plan. She was able to give my elderly cat his inhaler no problem. He can be shy with strangers but he seemed to really like her! Highly recommend! Thank you Megan!

Alexis did such an amazing job with my senior cat, Cayenne. She gave amazing Rover reports/photos and she was able to administer fluids for my cat. He is 19 years old and needs a lot of gentle care and attention. Going out of town is generally very stressful for us to leave Cayenne at home, but he clearly loved her!! I will 100% be using her again if we go out of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Pimmit Hills is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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 .

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 .
