“Randi was awesome! I don’t often leave my dog so I was fairly nervous to use a stranger. However, she came by while I was here to meet my dog, and watching her with him immediately put me at ease. We have already booked another session with her!”
“Cathy is amazing!! I hate leaving my dogs at home, but Cathy made me feel comfortable and at ease with her updates and photos. Highly recommend her excellent services!”
“Helen is wonderful! She responds quickly and was able to accommodate last minute requests. She is great with our puppy always keeping her entertained. We will definitely continue to use Helen’s services.”
“Laura was terrific with our two little dogs. Great communication. Photos after every visit, so I'd be reassured all is well! Will definitely hire Laura again in the future should the need arise.”
“Although my cat was initially wary of a stranger, Alexandra made fast friends with him and I felt better knowing he wasn't too lonely while I was gone. Thanks Alexandra!”
“We could not have been happier with the care Allyson provided to our cat Harry this week. Allyson sent detailed updates with photos for each visit (we had her visit twice daily while we were gone). She bonded really well with our kitty. She also appropriately clarified questions regarding care for his chronically blocked tear duct. We will for sure be booking her again. Highly recommend!!”
“Anna was great! She followed all of our care instructions, and she arrived early each time to her visits. She sent updates and was very caring towards our kitties. If you're in the Glen Allen area and you need someone to look after your cats, I highly recommend Anna!”
“Isabella did an AMAZING job taking care of our three babies!!! Our babies are our world and we are always concerned about how they are treated!! Isabella treated our babies like they were her own!! We have already booked Isabella several more times including a 10 day stay while we travel and we are very comfortable knowing that our babies will be safe and well taken care of!! Thank you Isabella!!!🥰”
“Steven is a rockstar!! He is trustworthy and flexible. He also was so helpful in letting us know that our back up sump pump battery was beeping due to a power outage. We were quickly able to get someone over to assist. Had we not known this, the rain could have led to a flood in our basement. Steven is more than a dog sitter!! So very helpful and we’re grateful to have him help us when we need him! Book him NOW!! Don’t hesitate!! do it.”
About: Hi, I'm Jackie! I've had animal companions for just about my whole life, and dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. So whatever your pet's personality, chances are I've cared for one just like them. I have hands-on experience raising and training puppies, and I'm comfortable administering medication. I take pet care seriously, and I treat every animal like one of my own. Your loved one will be in good hands with me! I have a very flexible schedule so I'm able to visit your pet when they need it the most. I like to walk dogs first thing in the morning so they are relaxed. For cats, I'll play with them either before or after their food depending on their mood. I love to start out the mornings with a walk for dogs and then feeding. For cats, I’ll usually feed then wait and play unless the cat has a lot of energy beforehand.
“Taylor did a great job with our dog Arden! She was very communicative and provided daily updates to go along with the photos. Got back home from our trip to a happy pup. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little and have always been the designated pet-sitter in my neighborhood. I have watched puppies as well as elderly dogs, and am equipped to take care of their individual needs and routines! I am currently working part time and have a very flexible and open schedule. I have an active lifestyle and prefer to take multiple walks per day and will happily bring some furry company along! I also wake up early so I can make sure your pets are fed and taken care of within their normal routines. I have my own car that I am able to take over to clients’ homes to watch their pets at any times. And my own backyard is fenced and ready for boarding dogs. I have a small dachshund/yorkie mix that is very social and two sweet black cats that love company as well.
About: Hello, my name is Darwin. I grew up around all kinds of animals and have many years of experience with taking care of dogs. I am trustworthy, reliable, and experienced. I am willing to care and sit for your companions for a reasonable price. I work full time as a manager and have a pretty flexible schedule. My free time usually starts after 3pm, but I can always plan accordingly to you and your pets need. I have a fenced yard that allows my pups to roam around and explore. They get consistent care and are very loved, and I would love to do the same for your furry friends.
“Olivia was incredible with our cats! She was great with communication throughout our trip and made us comfortable leaving our furbabies for a few days. We cannot wait to book with her again. Thank you Olivia!”
About: I’ve had and taken care of many animals over the years. My main area of expertise is dogs, however I have two cats of my own and am well versed in caring for them. I also have experience with guinea pigs and Russian tortoises. I’m currently in college and my main focus is my education, so I’ll have plenty of time to drop in and give your pets some love and attention throughout the day. I have a dog park in my apartment complex, and my complex is very pet friendly. I am very detail-oriented and will be sure to follow any instructions given when caring for your pet.
About: I've owned dogs, cats & horses my entire life. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, 2 cats and a horse that are all treated like human children. I'm familiar with both young and elderly animals that require medical assistance. I work from home in Glen Allen. I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet during the day and before/after work. I am comfortable with walking all dogs, crating dogs, working on commands and especially providing love and treats if desired! Happy to also prepare lick mats or other stimulation while you're away.
“Shannon came at requested times, sent pictures and noted how the cats were doing. Appreciated that she sat down and gave Houdini time to relax and come to her. Would use again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Poindexters
Ally was amazing we will definitely be booking with her again. She was extremely fast to respond to each message I sent, super friendly when we did our meet and greet, and exactly on time for each visit. She sent lots of pics and updates, and even went above and beyond to bring in our packages for us. Our shy kitty Nelly warmed up to her right away which made me feel so comfortable that he is in good hands! She did a great job administering his medication.
Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.
This was my first time using Rover and I’m glad I went with Lauren! She was great. Excellent communicator and took great care of my kitties. She even managed to snag a picture of my boy who is terrified of almost everyone and who I said would be hiding the whole time. I will absolutely use her for future trips!
Tiffany is an absolute superstar! We were leaving our little princess Ms Lizzz home alone for the first time since we got her and Tiffany was an absolute godsend. She was engaging, attentive and playful. I think Ms Lizzz will miss her visits now that we’re back home. Highly recommend Tiffany if you want peace of mind with your four-legged family while you’re away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Poindexters on Rover is $29.97 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,239 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Poindexters. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Poindexters. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
