Cat Sitting in Sigma

“She did AMAZING with my three kitties!! All of them with different personalities.. and she made them feel safe and loved! Definitely recommend her!!”

“Kirra checked in on my two dogs, Athena and Rowan, and I couldn't be happier. She is reliable, trustworthy, and truly cares about my furry friends' well-being. During the meet and greet, she took the time to get to know my dogs, their habits, likes, and dislikes. She was patient and gentle with my dogs, ensuring they were comfortable and happy. I appreciated the frequent check-ins and updates she would send throughout the day, including pictures and videos of my dogs having fun. Knowing that my dogs were in good hands while I was away gave me peace of mind. Overall, I highly recommend Kirra to anyone looking for a dependable individual to care for their pets.”

“Meagan is nothing short of amazing! I have a golden retriever and a lab puppy and you can really tell she loves them both so dearly and they love her just a much! She does everything as we ask, always on time, and very easy to communicate with! She even bought my golden a present for his birthday 🥹 I can’t recommend Meagan enough and she will always be my first choice for a caretaker for my pups!”

About: I’ve had experience watching dogs for my entire life. I know how to give medicine, including injections, to dogs and cats. I am also certified in first aid and have completed a “Stop the Bleed” course. I’m available most days with a few days notice. I am able to come over and walk your dogs or just spend time with your pets. I can easily come to you and do whatever is needed. Walks, feedings, etc. I am very attentive and love to play with your pets.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Growing up with family dogs sparked my lifelong love for animals, which led me to begin volunteering at the SPCA at a young age. There, I gained experience caring for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and more. As a teenager, I worked at Hunt Club Farm, where I cared for horses and farm animals, expanding my hands-on experience even further. Now, as a senior at VCU and a part-time substitute teacher, I’m excited to meet and care for even more furry friends. I currently have four beloved family dogs who mean the world to me! I am spending my summer going back and forth between Virginia Beach and Richmond, so my schedule needs to be decently flexible. While in town I can work as much as possible. Every pet has unique needs. I am prepared to follow strict instructions if necessary to make sure your pets get the care that they need.

“Gabrielle was amazing! We were out of the country and our pet sitter had to leave early on our last day as we were traveling back home. We worked everything out with Gabrielle through the app. She showed up when we needed her to, and she did everything we needed so we didn’t worry about our babies as we were traveling home. I will definitely use her again, and I would recommend her without hesitation. And our babies seemed to love her!”

“Paula was fantastic! She was recommended to us by our normal sitter because she wasn’t going to be available. Paula made sure our pets were well taken care of and loved! Highly recommend her ?”

About: With over ten years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds, I have developed a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities. From playful puppies to senior cats, I provide attentive, compassionate care to ensure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-loved. My commitment is to treat each animal with the same respect and dedication I would give my own. I’m currently working part tome while also attending school but can provide frequent check ins for your pets while also provide house sitting on weekends if needed. I provide dependable in-home pet care, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is well cared for while you’re away.

“Mario was very responsible with his drop-in visits with Cleo while we were out of town, which we truly appreciated!”

“Me and my 3 boys absolutely love Cyntra!!! They are super excited when she drops in. And my heart and mind is at ease because I know she loves and cares for them like her own.”

About: I've grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, and that hands-on experience is what truly sets me apart. I was raised with three cats (2 indoor, 1 outdoor), caring for them from kittenhood all the way through end-of-life care, including demanding daily routines and administering medication. I also have two dogs of my own: a Mini Australian Shepherd I raised from a puppy and personally trained. He’s so smart he keeps me on my toes, which means I know exactly how to handle high-energy, high-drive breeds and the escape artists of the dog world. The other is a large pitty mix we adopted at age two who came to us with leash pulling, reactivity, excessive barking, and rough play habits, all of which I've worked through and successfully managed. I know how to confidently handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Beyond cats and dogs, I've owned two guinea pigs, a hamster, and fish, so I understand the specific and often overlooked needs of small pets too. I've also assisted my sister in fostering cats, many of whom were shy, post-surgical, or required medication and special feeding instructions, so I'm completely comfortable with pets that need a little extra patience and TLC. Most recently, I pet sat a kitten over spring break 2026, and I'm always happy to sit for other pet owners' animals as well. As a sophomore in Alpha Chi Omega, I bring the same reliability, respect, and communication to pet sitting that I bring to everything I do. I treat every pet as if they were my own, follow your routines to the letter, and love keeping owners in the loop with regular updates, photos, and videos, as often as you'd like. If you're looking for someone experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals, I'm your person! I currently only have one exam left, so my schedule is essentially wide open! I'm in Blacksburg and available May 9–12 and May 16–22, with virtually nothing on my plate during those windows. Whether you need someone for a full house sit, multiple check-ins throughout the day, early morning visits, or late night drop-ins, I can make it work. Flexibility is my strong suit right now, so don't hesitate to reach out no matter the timing or frequency! I'm happy to care for pets both in my home and in yours! For in-home sitting and visits at your place, I'm completely comfortable following whatever routine, rules, and setup you have in place, your home, your way. If you'd like your pet to stay with me, I welcome that too! Just note that I live in an apartment, so I don't have a fenced-in yard, but my complex has a dog park and is surrounded by beautiful neighborhood nature trails that are perfect for walks and exploring. I'd also ask that you send everything your pet needs along with them (crate, food/water bowls, bed, toys, leash, etc.) so they have the comfort of their own familiar belongings, which is honestly better for them anyway!

“Stacy was great! She took care of our cat while we were out of town on vacation. She sent us pictures everyday, let us know she was doing all right and everything was well. Did exactly what we needed, was comfortable using our security system, and did a great job. Look forward to using her again!”

William K.

“Leighanne is amazing and I highly recommend her for any of your pets needs. She’s friendly, warm and my dogs were immediately obsessed with her. She took amazing care of my babies and kept me updated during every visit. We will definitely be booking with Leighanne anytime we need a pet sitter!”

About: I've been around cats since birth and have years of hands-on experience. I understand feline behavior and provide gentle, attentive care for every kitty and dogs and all animals. I’m available almost every day and can easily work around your schedule. Morning, afternoon, or evening visits whatever your pet needs, I’m happy to help! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get playtime or walks if needed, and lots of love and attention. Whether it’s a cat, dog, or another pet, I’m patient and gentle, always respecting their personality and needs. I also keep the space clean and can send updates, so you know your pet is happy while you’re away.

“Misty did an awesome job with my puppy Linus! My normal Rover sitter had a work conflict and she stepped in on short notice and did a great job! She took time to know my puppy and what he needed and kept me in loop with her visit. She also did great with my puppy's older cat brother Odin. I would without hesitation recommend her based for her passion with animals, she was prompt, and I knew my crew was in great hands. As a new dog parent this piece of mind was unmeasurable. Thank you Misty!”

“Wow…. I don’t even know where to begin so I’ll start by saying that Devi is amazing, reliable, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator. I just spent two weeks in Thailand and almost cancelled my trip due to a lack of kitty care. Thankfully, I heard about Rover, and all though hesitant, I spent a day scouring all the reviews for sitters in my area and finally found Devi. She was quick to respond and we set up a meet and greet shortly thereafter. Blue, who is naturally shy, made a friend right away and enjoyed each of his afternoon visits. Devi also made sure to send multiple pictures from each visit and even cleaned up a container of spoiled milk that exploded while I was away (I know…. I meant to empty the fridge before heading out of town). All around, an incredible person and care giver for your pet!”

Martin L.

“Highly recommend! At the meet and greet she was so easy to talk to and our dog Luna loved her! While we were away I didnt worry if callie and luna were taken care of, she sent pictures of them getting all the love and attention. I think our house was cleaner than when we left too, 10/10 will be using every time we go out of town!”
