“It was a pleasure to have Ruowei as our car sitter for a few days. She was very attentive and gentle with my cat and handled care instructions really well. I appreciate it her constant communication updates and pictures along the way. Highly recommend her.”
“Emily was our first Rover that we used since we adopted our kitty. She was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She sent very cute pictures of our kitty as well as followed all directions we gave while we were gone. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Yiyi provided exceptional service and great communication. You can tell she cares greatly for animals. Took extra time to discuss how Alvin was doing while we were gone. Did everything we asked and then some. On top of it all, she took fantastic photos of our cat that we will cherish.”
“Megan was a very thoughtful and responsive sitter. I appreciated the care she took with my senior cat and the updates that she provided. It was nice to know that my cat was being well taken care of and I would recommend Megan as a sitter to others.”
“This was my first time booking with Allison and she was lovely! I have two very shy cats & they warmed up to her very quickly. She was great with communicating updates through the week which I really appreciate. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Jaelen did such a great job taking care of my bunny, Artie! She always left detailed reports after each visit and made sure to send plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust to help with pet care!”
About: I have two hound mixes and 2 cats that I have learned so much from, especially my two dogs. They are 1 and 3 and definitely have so much energy, but throughout their trainings and behavior changes, I know so much more about behaviors As I am a college student, I have lots of free time over breaks and holidays to go or attend to any pets needs as necessary I care and respect for every clients home as they with and will not over step any boundaries or limits. My goal is to make sure the furry friends are healthy and taken care of and have some little extra company!
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I currently have cats, a dog, and a lizard! I have experience pet sitting for family and neighbors. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am flexible and can hang out with your pets as much as you would like. I am open to late nights or early mornings as well. I believe that pets are the most comfortable in their own homes. It’s better to come to them so they can stay where they know, rather than having to get comfortable in a new place.
About: Hi! My name is Isabella; I go by Izzy and I've been a reliable pet sitter for the past 5 years. During college, I was an in-house pet sitter for a 2-year-old Maltese and also regularly in-house sat for a lab mix and Husky. I would also occasionally watch my friends' dogs during long holiday weekends here and there. When completing my Master's I offered drop-in visits to residents in my apartment complex and gained plenty of experience walking different breeds of all sizes and ages. I understand that every pet has an established routine and unique needs, so I like to build trust with the pets I sit and value creating a meaningful bond by learning each pet's personalities, habits, and preferences. I work full time in-person in Washington, D.C., Monday-Wednesday and remotely from Herndon, VA Thursdays and Fridays. My schedule allows me to flexibly work around the DMV, with greater daytime flexibility on my remote workdays and availability before or after work when I am in the office for D.C. residents. I can work remote from anywhere which is helpful for pet parents wanting a sitter starting on Wednesday evenings to Sunday if traveling over a weekend. I value open communication and like to provide as many updates as possible/as frequently as owners would like through photos or just casual check-in texts. I believe honesty is the best policy and bring up any concerns immediately to the owners. I always ask about emergency contacts/emergency vet locations in case it is ever needed. Building trust with owners is just as important as building a strong bond with your furry friend, so I like to get to know owners before sitting and talk about our communication styles.
“Courtney D. was great! She was very patient with my cat, letting my cat come to her. I also received lots of details and photos about each visit. Highly recommend!”
“So glad we found Nazeeya! She was professional and thorough from start to finish. She was intuitive to our pet’s needs and communicated any irregularities she saw that may be cause for concern. She followed their care plan precisely and bonded quickly with our boy Wolfy. She went above and beyond to see that their needs were met and even brought in a huge house-plant package that was delivered while we were away. She did an excellent job and will definitely book with her the next time we travel.”
“Wow!!! Let me say, I've never been so pleased and impressed with a dog walker like I am with Lashawn. He takes such good care of my babies and when I come home, I legit have zero concerns. House clean, exactly the way I left it. Dogs fed and walked. Lots of photos which I personally appreciate. He is extremely reliable and trustworthy. I can really see that he loves what he does. Not letting this gem go! Thank you sir”
About: I have over 3 years of experience dog sitting and dog walking for families in my neighborhood. I also have two cats of my own, so I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or giving lots of attention, I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm reliable, patient, and committed to making sure both pets and their owners have a great experience. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have morning availability and a flexible schedule. I care for my own two cats every day, and I have three years of experience dog walking and pet sitting around my neighborhood. I'm available for morning walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets stay happy, comfortable, and on their regular routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you're away.
About: We’ve both grown up around dogs and have always loved being around animals. Robin has dogs of his own, and Macy has both dogs and cats and has cared for pets for most of her life. Macy also has professional experience working as a kennel attendant, where she cared for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. We’re comfortable with different routines and needs, and we always make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with us. 🐾 Hi! We’re Macy & Robin, a couple who both love animals! Macy is the primary sitter, and Robin joins her for some bookings to provide an extra set of hands and even more love and attention for your pets. We love spending time with animals and getting to know all their different personalities. Macy is currently in school working toward her Master Esthetician license, so she has a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week. We’re both reliable, respectful, and will make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in our care. We’re also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates! 🐾 I have a fenced in backyard along with a crate, although I would prefer not housing at my house because of other pets living there.

Jannatul is a fantastic pet sitter! We always know our kitties are going to be well taken care of. She sends great photos and videos and the kitties always enjoy her pets and playtime. We’re so grateful to Jannatul for caring for our fur babies while we’re away.
Lauren spent so much quality time with my kitty Purrl! I didn't feel guilty leaving her and I could really enjoy myself knowing Purrl was in such good hands. Lauren kept me informed of all the things happening and even checked my sprinklers and timers. I definitely recommend Lauren to care for your pets - lucky to have booked her!
Our kitty has been dealing with some skin issues and needed some slightly special care while we were on vacation. Tamara followed all our instructions and kept us updated. We didn't feel worried at all while we were gone and we would absolutely trust her to care for our fur baby again!
Emily did a great job taking care of our cat! She was attentive to what care we requested and was able to adjust when circumstances called for it. She also sent us great pictures of our cat every day and communicated well how he was doing. Our cat got along well with her, and was his normal, happy self when we got home.
This was our first time having Jackie assist us with our two cats while we were out of town. We have nothing but great things to say! We appreciate her experience with cats, and the attention to detail in learning the patterns of our fur babies - from their diet to the toys they like to engage with. We highly recommend Jackie and hope to use her services again in the future!
Nouf took great care of my senior dog and cat. She gave me peace of mind while my boyfriend and I were away. My cat ran out the door (because she’s crazy!) and she was able to quickly catch her and bring her back inside safely. Reliable, responsible, responsive, and gave detailed updates + lots of pictures! I would recommend her if you are looking for someone who can handle your furbabies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in South Riding is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $42 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 2,216 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South Riding. 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.

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.
