“Christine could not have been more professional and fantastic. Marty is often a bit standoffish, but, in every picture we saw of him, he looked happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be calling on Christine when we head out in the future!”
“Kendall is a superb, very reliable, pet-loving care-taker, who was excellent in looking after our three furry friends. She went beyond to take care of them and to make sure they were fed, clean, loved and cuddled. We absolutely recommend Kendall and would book her anytime again! Thank you so much for your great help!”
“Our pet Buddy takes time to meet new people. But when Buddy met Carl for the first time, he sniffed Carl and instantly connected with him and enjoyed Carl’s company. The next time we are in need of a pet sitter, we will definitely call Carl again.”
“Allison was fantastic! Excellent communication, very flexible when our plans kept changing, and most of all, my cats absolutely loved her - even my very anxious kitty who takes daily oral medication. Will happily book her again, I highly recommend her!”
“Carolyn took wonderful care of our 2 kitties while we did a long weekend trip. She provided a brief summary daily along with photos each day! She followed the instructions perfectly and everything went smoothly. Our kitties enjoyed getting to see her every day and we loved getting the updates each day while we were gone. On top of that, she quickly responded to my messages leading up to her scheduled visits. Thank you so much, Carolyn! I will be checking if you’re available whenever we go out of town!”
“Asher provided consistent updates and reached out with questions to ensure my cat was well taken care of. It was very comforting while I was traveling internationally for 10 days. I would absolutely love to book again with Asher in the future.”
“Leah took great care of my cat during a couple of weekend drop-in visits, including meeting him where he’s at when it comes to warming up to new people. She was also very responsive and kept me updated so that I wasn’t worried while I was out of town.”
“Punctual through and responsive. Thank you so much. Angie is very shy. We are on extended stay and wasn’t expected. River is a great app. Maeghan was responsive. Thank you.”
About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and dog-sat and cared for many different dogs over the years. I will treat your pup like family. They will feel secure and safe and get a lot of attention and affection. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule between 8-5. In addition to a great walk, your fur-baby gets cuddles, play time, and loads of love. Your dog will never be left unattended or alone in a yard. In my house, your dog can sleep in the bed if they like (and you OK it). My own dog is a 9 year old trained therapy dog. She is calm, sweet, and gets along with all dogs both big and small, chill or playful. She'll be happy to share her home. I use positive reinforcement only.
About: Hi I’m Todd a recently retired professional looking to fill my schedule with caring for both dogs and cats. I have a very open schedule so no rushing off to an office or leaving your pet alone for long hours. I provide reliable, calm, and attentive care for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am highly responsible, communicative, and ready to follow your pet's specific routine as needed. There are many paths around my house, which are great for walking dogs. I am not working so I am very flexible in terms of my schedule. I am usually available during most times of the day or even on short notice if needed. I live in a three level townhouse in Reston with a deck and a small backyard that backs to woods. I do not have any pets of my own, but several of my neighbors have pets.
“Nicole was an amazing cat sitter to our senior cat Cayenne. He is 17 years old and never had a stranger look after him- she did a great job. Cayenne requires oral medication twice a day and is a picky eater and she handled both things perfectly. You can tell just from talking to her how much love for animals she has. She left very thorough Rover cards at each visit and also texted to check in with photos. It is always stressful to leave on a vacation with an elderly pet but we were able to relax knowing he was with Nicole. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Jennifer was immediately available to help with our dogs while we were managing multiple house guests for our mother’s wake and funeral. We were very grateful for her services.”
“Keila did such a wonderful job with our 95 lb jumpy/excited boxer the first time she watched him, we immediately booked her again for our next longer trip (10 days!) and am so glad we did. We felt really comfortable with her already, but every visit she did she sent photos and typically added funny notes and that made it even better. She spent a lot of time with him for drop ins and clearly gave him plenty of exercise. We will reach out to Keila and pray she’s available for all our future needs! Highly recommend.”
“Edward was excellent at taking care of our adored cat Max, he kept us informed and sent us daily photos where he showed us that his food and water were stocked, sandbox and things organized and clean!. Max was happy when we arrived which makes us think he was very well taken care of. Thank You!!”
“Shauna was fantastic! She really set my mind at ease when taking care of Stella while I was away. She was always very prompt and caring. She even took the time to wash out her food bowls so I appreciated that also. I will definitely be asking her if she can pet sit again in the future!”
About: Passionate about animals, I provide loving and reliable pet care tailored to your furry friends’ needs. With years of experience, I ensure your pets feel safe and happy while you're away. I currently work a 9-5pm so I am looking for after work shifts or weekend shifts! Thursday and Friday I can do 6am - 9am shifts as well. I live in an apartment with many trails perfect for long walks! I can provide crate training as needed as well. : ) message me for more details

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Reston
Just had Allison taking care of my kitties for the first time, and she was extremely responsive to my various requests and clearly very comfortable with the cats. She also sent photos, communicated well, and asked when she wasn’t sure about something, making me more confident. And the house did not smell like cats when I returned! Would definitely rebook with her when I am next in need of cat care.
I needed a cat sitter last minute for 4th of July weekend, and luckily I found Morgan for drop-in visits. She was very sweet and accommodating, and took excellent care of my cats. She provided detailed updates, lots of photos, and took the time to play and interact with them. I trusted that my cats were in good hands with her. I’d recommend Morgan to anyone in need of a petsitter!
Nalleli was wonderful! She accommodated my last-minute holiday weekend request and took great care of my three cats. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures during the visit, and gave me peace of mind my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!
Nicole is always our go-to! She is tuned into cat’s needs and personalities and really enjoys them! She’s also very responsive to my messages and I probably message too much. She not only provides wonderful care and communication, she also has a lot of knowledge and experience and I appreciate how many of my questions and concerns she will provide a full, well-thought out response to. Thank you so much Nicole!
Jennifer was wonderful with our cat Meep - he loved her and you could tell from her photos how excited he was to spend time with her every day! We were grateful for her thoughtful updates and hilarious pictures and memories were so glad knowing Meep was in such caring hands!
Colleen did a great job sitting for my two cats while one of them was sick. She gave me helpful updates, sent nice pictures and was also able to administer medicine. I felt really at ease after the first visit seeing how she was updating me, would definitely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Reston on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
