“Katie is awesome. It’s comforting knowing our cat is in good hands. She follows instructions, sends updates on each visit (including pictures) and clearly loves cats. Thank you for taking care of our fur baby Rush. 🐈”
“Abigail did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats. She followed all our directions and adapted to one of our cats not wanting to come out to eat.

About: I have taken care of pets for many years now for relatives, neighbors, and friends. It is something I enjoy to do when my schedule is open enough to do so! I am providing stop in, walking, day to day, and overnight care for pets. This includes regular activities like walking, playing, potty, feeding, car rides, cuddles, all included in the set price. I can also bathe the pets for an additional fee. I currently work full time my work day is typically split in half. Giving me the perfect timestamps throughout the day to check in on the pets. I work only in the Harrisonburg area so I am all around town. I am a local to Harrisonburg and know all the dog-friendly spots! Pet care fits into my daily schedule as I have always had pets until college, I am use to fixing my schedule around them, as pets are like children. I work short shifts where I drive to different clients all day, giving me many breaks throughout the day to spend time with the pets! I am a very neat and righty person. As I work with elderly patients, I am not afraid of bacteria or most things! I believe I am trustworthy for pet sitting as I have extensive experience in caring for humans.

“Jocelyn was wonderful! She was very responsive and provided updates and photos every day. Our kitties were well taken care of, which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. We would definitely have Jocelyn care for them again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments since I was around 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays (especially afternoons and evenings) and weekends. I love spending quality time playing, exercising, and keeping pets company so they never feel lonely. I prioritize safety and comfort at all times. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and walking instructions, and I always keep pets supervised. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I have had pets since I was a young girl and developed a responsibility from a young g age. I loved caring for my pets and I enjoy meeting new furry friends! I have had years of experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I am currently working part-time in Harrisonburg VA during the weekends, if you need someone to stop by while you are at work during the weekdays, feel free to contact me a day in advance or more! I ensure my pets are taken care of and receive the proper enrichment they need, I love taking my high energy dog on trail walks and visits to the dog park. I am more than happy to do the same for your pets.

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.
