“Danyelle is fantastic! She was patient and loving with my two cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She won over my male cat, Toast, within minutes and sent me pics of him on her lap. Even my super shy girl, Sunny, who usually hides under the bed, came out to see Danyelle and accepted some pets. I am so happy to have found such an amazing sitter!”
“Jules has been great on communication, time of visits and execution of meds. I have 1 senior kitty who is special needs and was very hard for me to leave. She did an excellent job of taking care of her, making sure she got her meds and ate, always leaving extra out for her to eat when she wants. My other kitty easy but she still showed her the same attention. Also managed busy concierges in my complex an even took our packages up when that wasn’t her responsibility. She made it easier for me to leave as I was having a hard time. I’ll see ask her back when she’s in town from school.”
“Alex is so great! He plays with the kitties and send pics and they seem well taken care of and so does the house! I feel so much better knowing Alex is there for the little monsters!”
“Victoria was wonderful in taking care of the kittens! She was on time everyday and sent wonderful updates of the babes. They were well loved and cared for we are so grateful!”
“Meghan was great! I really appreciated her coming over before my trip to make sure she knew how to get in, and access the food. Would definitely recommend her to others! Thank you!!”
“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life, and have two dogs and a cat currently. Dog walked for friends and family in the past, and have experience with all ages of dogs I work for myself as a hairstylist and have a pretty flexible day most days, I don't work weekends so have all day availability saturday-monday and some Fridays I will drop in and spend time, play, feed, and clean litter box as needed. My availability is super flexible to make sure your pet gets the best care!
About: Hi! My name is Sophia and I love to walk around and explore this city with my dog! We go on long walks and admire all of the beautiful neighborhoods and districts around us. My favorite part of the day is when I come home to my pup! And whenever I meet or get to hang out with other dogs my day is made. I just love to be around animals and learning how to communicate and connect with each unique personality! I was the neighborhood dog sitter growing up and my favorite time of year was when my neighbors would go out of town and I could watch their pups! I learned how to care for and handle all different kinds of dogs and I was always so happy to be around them. The best day of my life (so far) was the day I got a pup of my own! I believe that dogs can change people’s lives and bring so much happiness into the world. I am fully available to care for animals with my current schedule. I work from home but my job is winding down and will be doing pet care until my next full time opportunity. I have so much love for animals and their safety and health is my priority. I have two dogs that are my world and I always make sure they have everything they need. I will put the same care and effort into caring for other people's animals and will always treat them as my own. I make sure to spend as much time as possible with my pups and keep them as healthy and happy as I can.
About: I’m a life long animal lover with hands-on experience helping out friends and family and caring for my own cat, Leia! I have a strong understanding of maintaining feeding schedules, walking routines and providing enrichment. I also understand each pet has their own personality. My approach to pet care is very individualized and considerate. I know leaving them is hard but I am dedicated to helping them feel safe and secure to ease your worries. I work full-time 12-8p Sunday-Thursday so I am available before and after those times for drop ins, walking etc. Fridays and Saturdays I am open all day! My cat Leia gets consistent wet food every morning and evening with dry food mid day while I am gone. She has constant access to water, vertical look out spots and a “catio” to give her outside enrichment the safest way possible.
About: I grew up with dogs as a part of my household and adopted my own dog when I was 20 years old. Since then I have supported friends and family with caring for their pets and would love to support you as well! I currently have availability to care for pets Sunday through Saturday! I can drop in for walks and check ins in the early mornings and late afternoons/evenings during the week. Saturdays and Sundays I have open availability all day! I am flexible with however you would like your pet to be cared for in your environment. I have experience with walks and letting pets out in a fenced yard.
“I booked Allie for several check ins for my 2 cats while I was out of town. She provided excellent service and took great pictures for the updates. Allie is most certainly an animal person and my cats warmed up to her immediately (which doesn’t usually happen). I highly recommend her to anyone and she will most definitely be my go-to for the future!”
About: I can cat-sit and house-sit in both Richmond and Loudoun County (NoVA), depending on the time of year! I am a full-time student at VCU, so I am in Richmond during the school year and go back home to NoVA during the summer and other breaks. In Richmond, I am available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I can do drop-ins on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 1 pm and 3 pm as well. I'll update my availability in NoVA a couple of weeks before each break! I will look to see how comfortable your kitty is and work towards making them as at ease as possible. I will work with your pet's routine and any strict scheduling so as not to disrupt their comfort. I can also adapt to create a flexible routine after getting to know your pet. I'll make sure they are fed on time, their water bowls are fresh and filled, litter boxes are clean, and they are getting ample pets and play! If requested, I can also do light cleaning and general upkeep tasks when I'm visiting your kitty/kitties, and of course, also while I'm house sitting. My ultimate goal is to make sure your furry friend is comfortable and satisfied :)

“Did an amazing job with our two trouble makers. They definitely loved Farrah so much. Felt so comfortable with how happy they were. Definitely going to be my sitter from now on.”
“This was our first Rover experience and Virginia was a perfectly wonderful pet sitter for our cat, Fergus. She came by to meet him ahead of time, sent lots of photos and videos while we were away and, above all, made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her pet-loving hands. We would recommend Virginia highly and hope to find the opportunity to have her help again soon!”

Jazmine was phenomenal! She took great care of my kitties and home while I was away and sent me plenty of pictures as well! :) My home was just the way I left it (if not cleaner) and my cats seem happy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sandston is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 403 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sandston. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

- 88% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
