“This is our third time having Jessica over. She is very conscientious, responsive, prompt and responsible. She works hard to befriend our kitties even though they are not cooperative, and we appreciate that a lot! We feel very safe giving her access to our pets and our home! She is a blessing and we’re very thankful!”
“Farrin was the zen to our panic when leaving our two cats for a trip for the first time. She was extremely calm and understanding, especially when concerning our cat with anxiety. She was patient, attentive and provided us with the feedback/support we needed to calm our nerves. Great service!”
“April is a pro at this job! She thinks ahead while I-the cat owner - am worried about last minutes things to pack 😊. We had a great meet and greet which made me confident about the care our cat needs. All went smoothly and perfectly at home while we were away. April sent pictures and comments at every visit 🙏”
About: I will take care of any animal and have years of experience doing so. I love all breeds and I own two large breed dogs myself, along with my pig who thinks he is a dog. I graduated from WVU in August with my masters degree in forensic and fraud examination, and am currently teaching full time. I am available most weekends for full day in-home sitting, and am available from 3-10pm Monday through Friday. If needed, and you are located close enough, I am available for early morning walks and drop in visits between 4:30am and 6:30am. My schedule consists of waking up every morning, taking care of my many many farm animals, going to work and reading in my free time. I also love going to the gym. I like to try and gain trust through treats with all animals, treats and patience go a long way when it comes to gaining respect.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 3 years now, and my love for animals has always been a big part of who I am. My experience includes providing attentive, loving care through daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and maintaining pets’ normal routines while their owners are away. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each animal’s individual needs. Whether caring for an energetic pup who loves to explore, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a little extra attention, I strive to make every visit a positive experience. I take pet safety seriously and always make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your beloved animal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. i'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and have fun with your pups! I'm available three days a week midday to late evening I live in an apartment and can hold pets during the day, to play and cuddle! I live near plenty of dog parks and walking trails and will more than likely be on the go enjoying them with your pup.
“Madison is superb. She’s incredibly responsive and responsible. We were nervous about leaving our pups behind and concerned we might have trouble finding someone brave AND loving enough to care for the bully breed. Madison didn’t flinch and our dogs took to her immediately. She is professional, kind, punctual, caring, and will even send photos, which is incredibly thoughtful and reassuring. We won’t hesitate to rely on Madison in the future and highly recommend her services to others.”
“Let me start this off by saying my animals are my babies and they are my world! From the moment this young lady walked into my home. I knew they would be in good hands! I have a house full. On this visit, Peyton was taking care of four cats and one very rambunctious dog. She handled it like a champ and my dog and my cats still look for her after her visit. I needed she was there, anything I needed to change Without batting and I she did it. She’s very warm, very loving and very responsible! My fur babies loved her! If you’re looking for someone That you can leave with your babies and not look back knowing that they are very well taken care of then definitely Peyton is your gal! We we’re gone for an extended period of time and I have never left my dog ever. Actually I don’t think she even noticed I was gone lol. We love Peyton and would love to put her in one of our suitcases and take her to Florida with us! Thank you sweetheart for doing an amazing job and I know five little fur babies that are going to miss you very much! We will Definitely spread the word and you will be our go to Gal When and if we ever come back to Virginia’💜💜”

I am flexible with my schedule and will always put your baby(s) first if you book with me!. I’d love to take care of your furbabies! Your rules are your rules and my rules cater to yours. If you have specific rules your furbabies follow, then I will do my very best to uphold those. Your furbabies will always come first and they will be loved like they are my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life including my own. Alongside our own dogs, my family and I have fostered many dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes and medical needs for 10 years. I love going on walks and showing your pup some love! I work full time during the week and nanny part time, with house sitting i fit drop ins into my schedule and am comfortable spending nights. I care for your animals truly as my own, whatever is best for them. Of course, whatever the client sees fit and their preferences in their home.
About: I have had animals of my own since I can remember. I worked at a shelter (mainly bigger breeds - but all were welcomed) for 3 years. I love working with and helping all animals. I currently only do online schooling so any and all free time I have, I would love to spend it with your beautiful fur babies! I can train your pup as needed and make sure they receive the best possible care. I can also do any bathing that should need done. For the kitties, I will provide any care they may need, to include cleaning out litter boxes, washing food/water containers, feeding, playing with them and nail clipping if needed!
About: i've taken care of animals of all kinds my whole life from personal experience to holding jobs at doggy specific businesses! i've done it all from daycare/boarding to all natural and holistic feeding and care :) i currently work throughout the week/weekend but i'm very flexible on my days off as well as i could definitely take a walk or two after my work day is over, usually around 4pm or sooner :) i currently live out in the woods on a little bit of land with my fiancee and our 3 pups! they absolutely love their outside time but of course safety is of the most importance so our pups have been extensively trained off leash to avoid any wild life, potential dangers, and just to have amazing recall. i definitely understand though that this isn't the case for all pups and that's totally okay so when coming to care for your pup i'd take the most precaution to ensure everyone stays happy, healthy, and playing!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom grandma or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease
About: Growing up on a dairy farm is how I fell in love with animals of all kinds! I have adopted, trained, groomed and cared for a wide variety of animals. I have lots of experience with large and small breed dogs. A variety of different breeds of cats including some exotics such as Hairless, Sphinx and Bengals. Young and older as well as some special needs. Leopard geckos, and birds. Our pets are a part of our family and they deserve safety, love, and care. Connection and trust are everything. It’s important to me to learn as much as I can about your pet, to be an extension of the way you love and care for them in order to provide the best sense of well-being and personalized care. I have a well organized but flexible schedule. Please feel free to message me anytime. I will always get back to you if not the same day, definitely by the next day. It’s important to me to connect and learn the needs, likes and dislikes of your pet. Animals have their own unique personalities, wants and needs. Getting to know the details not only helps me take personal care of you pet but it allows your pet to feel more comfortable with me caring for them. Using familiar words and sounds, walking them, and playing in a way that’s comfortable and familiar.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 257 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sumerduck. 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.

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.
