About: What sets me apart is the hands-on experience I have caring for dogs with all different personalities, ages, and needs. In addition to having three dogs and two cats of my own, I have fostered dogs through Bullies to the Rescue and volunteer with Richmond Animal Care and Control, where I serve as a Volunteer Adoption Coordinator Assistant and a trained Three Paw dog walker. I am comfortable working with dogs who may have behavioral challenges and have experience with senior and sick dogs who need extra patience, attention, and care. I truly take the time to get to know each pet as an individual and adjust my care to what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I don't just see pet sitting as a job—I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care like they are my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM in East End Henrico, so pet care fits naturally into my routine before and after work. I am available for brief morning visits before work and have much more flexibility after 3:30 PM for longer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I have open availability on weekends and can be flexible with scheduling. For house sitting, I am also willing to travel outside my normal service area when staying in your home. I take scheduling seriously and will make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In a client's home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible so their pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, companionship, and love, while also respecting pets who need a little space. I am comfortable caring for senior, sick, special-needs, and behaviorally challenging dogs, as well as cats and kittens. I will follow feeding instructions, medication or special-care directions, and any other routines you provide. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.

About: Lifelong Pet Lover with Years of Experience Hi, I’ve been around pets my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I started walking and feeding my family dogs at just 7 years old, twice a day, making sure they had plenty of playtime and fresh air in our grassy yard. From playful puppies to gentle giants, I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident with potty training and establishing healthy routines for any breed. Since I was 15, I’ve also cared for cats, both my family’s and my friends’. I keep litter boxes clean and ensure they stay off surfaces where they might break or damage anything, all while making sure they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle, or responsible in-home care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the week to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday drop-in, or overnight stay, I’m available and committed to working around your needs. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked, they’ll have my full attention and care. Comfortable, Spacious, and Pet-Friendly Home Your pet will feel right at home here. I have a large backyard and a spacious home with plenty of room for dogs to play, explore, and relax. While the yard is not fenced, I always supervise outdoor time to ensure pets stay safe and secure. If you use training tools like an e-collar and provide them, I’m happy to use them responsibly and only according to your guidance. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like family.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was about 14 for family and neighbors around. Growing up i’ve had dogs from pit bulls, german shepherds to chihuahuas, so i’m familiar and comfortable with all kinds! As a full-time online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. Since I complete my classes online, I can easily plan my day around pets needs. I am responsible, organized, and able to provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, keep their environment clean, and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I also follow the owner’s instructions carefully and provide updates so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.

“This was our first time using Rover and Haleigh was fantastic! She came by to meet us and get her instructions a few days before her visit. She sent the cutest pictures of our dogs (mid tail wag - obviously loving every minute she was there!) She wrote a great report of her visit and even went as far as to clean up our senior dog’s accident and hand feed our anxious younger dog. She truly went above and beyond and we will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 160 pounds my entire life. I have owned chihuahua dachshund mix, akitas, huskies, and German shepherds; so I understand big breeds as well as smaller ones. I have helped family members and neighbors with their dogs growing up with house sitting and dog walking. I know how important furbabies are to families, and treat each and every one as I would my own. I currently work full time with every other Monday off. I go to work about 7 am and get home about 430 pm. I do have volleyball leagues on Monday Wednesday and Friday nights that I am gone for 2 hours between 6-11pm as it varies based on game time. I love to hike and be outside so taking the dogs for walks a non issue. I treat all furbabies as if they were my own. I adjust my schedule accordingly to accommodate the animals as best as I can. I have given insulin shots and medication to animals and am comfortable with it.

About: I’ve always had and taken care of dogs growing up! My pups were a core part of my childhood and still hold most of my heart. Aside from basic dog care I also have experience with puppies and timid dogs as my family fosters. I would love to help care for your dog! I’m a college student home for the summer. I have a summer job during the week but am looking to fill my weekends with pet sitting. I’m happy to stay in home overnight or stop by for potty breaks! At home I like to keep my pets on a routine and will do the same for your pet or adapt to the best schedule for them.

“Jess was such a great choice to watch my Sammy boy. We were gone from 5/22-6/1 and had no idea it was getting VERY warm here in Iowa. We did not yet have our window air conditioners in. At one point, it got to 85 in our house. I was able to have a neighbor install the window ac’s. Jess was concerned for Sam and offered to stop by to check on him (on a day that wasn’t originally on the calendar). I truly appreciate her doing that! We were in Florida and that helped eased my mind!! We’re already set up to have her take care of him later this summer. Thanks again Jess!”

“I would a million times over book Zoe as a sitter. She house sitter for us on a short notice booking. During that time between the booking, my cat broke his heel bone. Zoe stepped in provided top notch care for my fur babies and was there to provide the kind of care needed during a business trip I could not rearrange. She sent photo updates and administered meds for my poor guy and his little brother. I couldn’t have been happier with the service provided and the care she showed to my pets and home. She did a meet and greet and the boys took to her right away. I highly recommend Zoe to care for your fur babies.”

Erika was absolutely amazing! We have 12 cats, so caring for our household is no small task, especially while we were away on an international trip to Europe. She followed every instruction carefully, kept us updated with lots of photos, and went above and beyond what we expected. She even swept our porch/patio area and did some extra cleaning, which we really appreciated. Erica is experienced, knowledgeable, dependable, and clearly loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands. We are so glad we found her and will absolutely book her again for future trips. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Skinquarter

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Skinquarter is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $1 and $43 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 401 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Skinquarter. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Skinquarter. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% can help with daily exercise

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.
