About: I’m not doing this as a side hobby—I live this every day with my own pets. I understand behavior, energy levels, and how to keep animals calm, happy, and cared for. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be understood, respected, and spoiled (in the best way). Because I work from home, I’m around throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to handle feedings, walks, and playtime consistently while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard and my 3 dogs play well with others,I also have 2 cats but they stay in one part of the house and usually let the digs do thsir own thing.
“I am so happy to have Morgan looking after my girl Carly! It has reduced the stress and anxiety that I feel when leaving her knowing that she has such a caring pet sitter looking after her! I get the cutest pictures and videos and it just makes my heart happy! I am thankful that Rover was recommended to me, but even more grateful that I found Morgan!”
“Kelsey was great with our skittish kitty Cleocatra. She was available within a week of our departure date and made friends to the point of getting actual petting! We got pics and texts at every visit, which helped with missing our kitty. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her for future visits, recommended!”
“ina was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Percy! She provided fantastic updates and consistent communication throughout her entire time sitting, which gave me total peace of mind. Tina is incredibly reliable, punctual, and attentive. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I will absolutely be hiring her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stellar pet sitter!”
“Nicholas was awesome. He was able to look after Napoleon even with last minute plans. He arrived on time as promised, and followed directions. I would definitely use his services again.”
“Fallon was wonderful with our pups- 2nd time we hired her :) Our pups looked so happy and she was a diligent communicator. As a nervous dog mama, Fallon did everything possible to make me feel comfortable. She always sends many pictures which is so comforting.”
“First time Rover user. Chose two visits a day for three days to care for our three cats while on a cruise for vacation. Leah did an amazing job, proving updates after each visit to the house. Will try to book Leah again for our next vacation. Highly recommend booking with Leah!!!”
“Sierra was a wonderful petsitter to my 20 years old cat and 10 years old dog. She checked on them to be sure they were all right while we were out of the town.”
About: What truly sets me apart is my deep experience with dogs of every temperament, especially those with special behavioral or emotional needs. Unlike sitters who only know "easy" dogs, I have spent my life caring for a wide spectrum of rescues, from fearful and anxious to hyperactive and aggressive personalities. I treat every dog as an individual, and I have a proven ability to connect, communicate, and build trust with all of them. I've successfully managed daily medication schedules and provided attentive care for senior pets and energetic puppies alike. My friends and family jokingly call me "The Dog Whisperer" because I bring a unique blend of patience, calm energy, and deep love to every interaction. This means that whether your pet is shy, a little reactive, or just needs constant attention, you can rest assured they are with a caregiver who understands them. Pet care is not a side job, it is part of my daily routine and a priority. I am a stay-at-home dad, so I can structure my day to ensure maximum availability and dedicated time with every dog. I have a large fenced yard and a four-year-old Basset Hound who loves to meet and play with new friends. I am also the father of two elementary-aged kids who will give your pet all the love they could ever hope for.
About: From feeding neighborhood cats and critters, to raising a litter of kittens, I am confident in my pet-sitting capabilities. I am also familiar with senior dogs. With me, your animals are sure to feel loved and be well taken care of! If I had it my way, I'd be spending all my time with furry friends. I currently have three lovely cats at home who get oodles of attention all day long. With this many cats, you better believe I have daily and weekly care routines to keep their space and mine clean and happy. I also like to make sure they have plenty of playtime. I often set up their toys in different ways to encourage them to play on their own/ with each other. Don't let how many animals I have fool you. I have plenty of time and care to share with your furry friends as well. I like to make sure that their physical, mental, and social needs are always met. Constant access to clean water and litter boxes is essential. I tend to spoil my babies with wet foods and fun treats, and will always respect a client's feeding in instructions. For mental and social stimulation, they have various toys to play with and structures to perch high up on. I always make sure to be involved in play with them too.
“Rebecca is great with animals. She shows up professionally and with genuine care for her work. If you're in need of pet care, particularly if you have larger dogs, Rebecca will not disappoint. She went above and beyond. Thank you, Rebecca.”
About: I’ve always believed pets aren’t just animals, they’re family. Whether it’s a high energy pup who needs long walks and playtime, or a more relaxed companion who just wants cuddles and consistency, I adjust my care to fit their needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Having a blind furry friend myself for 15 years, I understand the importance of caring for them from birth, into their old age, adjusting to transformation that they may experience, and the beauty and fulfillment that comes with it. I am currently an independent worker, so my schedule tends to be quite flexible on a week-to-week basis, to be able to care for furry friends. I am one to pay close attention to fur babies, making sure they are safe, tending to their needs whether it be playtime, some time outside, and any other needs that may need be.
About: I am very attentive, therefore I am able to sense what the dog needs. I believe taking care of dogs provides just as much therapy for them as it does us. Pet care fits perfectly in my schedule. I run an online business so I am able to best schedule myself for the sittings and walks. I offer house calls so I will move in accordance to the homeowners rules and use discernment on the proper places the dog is able to go. I also make sure to maintain proper hygiene and hand cleanliness.
“Cristal and Edgar did a great job in caring for my four cats. I was updated daily on their progress along with pictures of my fur babies. I will definitely call on them again in the future!”

“Awesome and very accommodating! Reliable and friendly! I contacted her about caring after my cat when I got out of town weekly and it was no issue and she was able to care for them immediately! Definitely recommend!”

I’m currently working overnight so my days are free. I have a decent sized space so your pet will be comfortable. I can accommodate supervised nights.

I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am to have Christine help us take care of Map when we were away. She gave Map so much love and spent time playing with Map so she didn't feel lonely at home. Christine is definitely our go-to sitter for Map whenever we need to be away ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Eliscia was amazing with our 4 cats. I would highly recommend. She went above and beyond what we asked her to do. The kitties loved her and she loved them! I suggest getting the whole hour so she can play with your cats or dogs. My wife and I will definitely rebook her again next vacation. I can’t recommend enough!
I had an excellent experience and would absolutely book again. My pets are naturally cautious around new people, so I was incredibly impressed by the patience, care, and understanding she showed them. One of my cats is usually the more social of the two, but even he typically takes several visits before he’s comfortable interacting with someone new. To my surprise, he was already coming out and interacting with her by the second day, which is much faster than normal for him. My other cat is much more cautious and prefers to stay hidden. Even so, she took the time to learn his habits and was able to locate him on the first day, which reassured me that he was doing well and adjusting safely while I was away. I appreciated that she respected his boundaries and allowed him the space to be himself rather than trying to force interaction. She was very communicative throughout my trip and provided thoughtful updates that gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she took the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs rather than treating the visits as simple check-ins. She also took wonderful care of my fish, Marley. It was great to see him comfortable enough to come out and interact with her as well. That attention to detail showed me that she genuinely cared about all of my pets. Most importantly, I felt completely comfortable knowing my pets were in her care while I was away. She treated them with kindness, patience, and respect, and I could tell they felt safe with her. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.
Amazing!!! Jackie took amazing care of my deaf boxer and gave him some much needed training! I also left my little anxious puppy home for the first time and she made sure she was safe and happy the whole time! We had a lot of things going on at our house while she was there, construction workers coming in and out, our heat was broken, etc. I was very nervous but Jackie handled it with ease and was great about communicating everything! Will 100% be booking with her whenever I am out of town. Thank you so much!!

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 August 2026, there are 3,396 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rockbridge. 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.

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.
