About: I have been around animals my whole life. I grew up with two family dogs for 18 years, and caring for pets has just always come naturally to me. I also foster dogs, cats, and small critters, so I have experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs Pet care fits so naturally into my day because I genuinely love having animals around me. My schedule is super flexible. I’m in part-time school and work part-time so I have plenty of time. When pets are in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I keep a close eye on them at all times making sure they’re safely leashed outside, supervised during playtime, and always comfortable. I follow whatever routines they’re used to, like feeding schedules, crate time, or potty breaks, so they feel calm and at home. There’s always lots of love, attention, and gentle structure to keep them happy and safe. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, respect is everything to me. I treat your space the same way I’d want mine treated clean, careful, and mindful of your rules. Whether I’m staying overnight or just stopping by for a walk, I make sure your pet gets all the care they need while also keeping your home tidy, secure, and exactly how you left it. I’m very routine friendly, so I happily follow your pet’s normal schedule, house rules, and comfort needs.
“Jazmyne was wonderful! We booked very last minute after realizing we needed help for our long vacation and she was very accommodating and helpful with that. Her check ins with pictures were reassuring while we were away and she did such a great job taking care of our cats. It was also our first time using Rover and she helped with the app and made the experience great. We highly recommend and intend to rebook for our next trip!”
“Taylor is a wonderful and dedicated sitter. She kept us informed each day on how our two kitties, Bella and Rudy, we doing. Sent us photos and videos which we truly appreciated. We highly recommend Taylor.”
“Chelsea is amazing and took wonderful care of my two kitties. They are very different cats with unique needs and she was very patient and loving towards them, as well as detail oriented. I can’t emphasize how much I appreciate her approach and care with my cats.”

About: Hi! I’m Jen — a lifelong animal lover with over 4 years of hands-on experience working at an animal shelter, plus many additional months caring for dogs and other animals on a small farm property. If there’s one thing I truly understand, it’s dogs. Especially the shy, anxious, and misunderstood ones. They hold a very special place in my heart! There is no greater feeling than earning the trust of a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. At the shelter I worked with every type of dog imaginable, from easygoing family pups to dogs with more complex needs due to past trauma. I was trusted to walk and handle even the more anxious or sensitive dogs, helping them build confidence and learn to trust new people. I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and adjusting my approach so each dog feels safe, respected, and understood. One of the dogs I worked closely with, Donald, needed a trusted handler present while new volunteers learned how to walk him safely, and I helped train others so he could get the exercise and enrichment he deserved. I also helped start enrichment initiatives at the shelter, including treat puzzles, mental stimulation games, and a “dog play buddy” program to give the dogs additional socialization and activity. One of my most special experiences there was helping care for a mama dog who gave birth to a litter of 10 (10!) puppies. I helped care for and socialize those puppies as they grew until they were ready for their forever homes. I also have experience caring for senior animals and understand that older pets often need a little extra patience, gentleness, and attention to their comfort and routine. Beyond dogs, I also have experience caring for cats and bunnies. Over the past few months I’ve helped care for my landlady’s 1yo kitty, and I’m very comfortable providing drop-in care and pet sitting for cats and small animals as well. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting/boarding and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and body language so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: every animal I care for should feel safe, so very loved, and understood. Pet care is my primary focus, so my daily routine is built around providing consistent, hands-on care. I structure my day to include regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, and downtime, depending on each pet’s needs. I’m home for the majority of the day, which allows me to provide a high level of supervision and attention. Pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to support different energy levels, routines, and personalities. Whether a dog needs more activity and engagement or a calm, low-stress environment, I’m able to tailor my day to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I care for every pet based on who they are — not just a one-size-fits-all routine. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and comfort cues so pets feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. In my home, dogs stay on a fully fenced 10-acre farm property where they can safely explore, play, and decompress. All outdoor time is supervised, and I’m intentional about creating a balanced environment — active play for dogs who love it, and plenty of quiet downtime for those who don’t. I have a friendly Mini Goldendoodle and a very mellow senior pup in the home, and I take introductions slowly and thoughtfully. I’m always prepared to separate or crate dogs if needed to keep everyone comfortable and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to your routines and preferences so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep things calm, consistent, and predictable, which is especially important for anxious or sensitive animals. I’m very comfortable with a wide range of personalities, including dogs who need a little extra patience or structure, and I pride myself on creating an environment where pets can relax and just be themselves.
“Rachel was timely and friendly and took great care to make sure our dog was fed and had water and got to spend some time outside. We appreciated her willingness to be flexible with us when our plans changed a bit. We would definitely ask her to take of our dog again in the future.”

“Our dogs were super happy being tended to by Brianna. She’s very reliable and communicated with us on every visit which we appreciate so much. We loved getting pictures and updates. We would highly recommend her to care for your fur baby.”

“Beth has taken great care of our bulldogs - both while house sitting and stopping in for walks/feeding time. She’s reliable and communicates with us, sending frequent photos and updates. Will continue to rely on Beth when we need help with the pups!”
About: I've taken care of many of my friends pets, dogs and cats when they are away. I absolutely love doing it! Pets are part of the family! I am currently working part time doing instacart so I am on the road and can stop whenever I need to let them out or take them on a walk.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, attentive, and truly enjoy creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet’s needs, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, medication routines, or simply providing companionship and comfort. I understand that every pet is different, and I always do my best to make sure they feel relaxed, happy, and at home. My home sits on half an acre with a completely fenced-in yard, giving pets plenty of safe outdoor space to run, play, and explore. I also have a large home with lots of room for pets to relax indoors comfortably. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I keep boarding limited and carefully select the animals I welcome into my home. I prefer providing personalized attention rather than overcrowding with multiple pets at once, which helps create a calm, low-stress environment. I know how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone new, so I love sending photo and video updates to help owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to treat your pets like family and provide the same level of care and love I would want for my own animals. I work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. My partner and I work opposite schedules, so there is typically someone home with your pet throughout the day. We work together to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My home sits on half an acre with a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. Pets are welcome throughout my large, pet-friendly home so they can feel comfortable and relaxed while staying with us. We live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with walking areas and a dog park nearby. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I keep boarding limited and carefully select the animals I welcome into my home. I focus on providing personalized attention and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment rather than boarding large numbers of pets at once.

About: I have experience with special needs pets, puppies, elderly pets, high energy breads, and everything in between! I am thrilled for the opportunity to take care of your baby- I am a fast learner and detail oriented! I am currently home for the summer, and a huge animal person! I have a lot of free time and I could not think of a better way to spend my summer then taking care of your baby/babies!

If that looks like sending you a million pictures a day of your baby for reassurance, writing up a letter of what your babies day looked like, or anything else under the sun- I am thrilled for the opportunity to care for your pet!
“Samantha was great! On the last day of our trip our rascal pups got all muddy in the yard and she helped clean them up and make sure our home wasnt too dirty when we got back. We didnt ask, she was just helpful and thoughtful without a word or hesitation. Awesome!”


About: I have grown up with cats and dogs, and am familiar with many other kinds of animals. I have sat for non-family/friends and well as them included many times before! I have managed taking care of 5+ pets at once, given proper meds, care, playtime, etc. This experience ranges from kittens/puppies just a few days old, to older aged animals. I work “full time” but I work around 30 hours and I have a lot of split shifts so time before or after to check-in with the pets. This looks like morning feed, going outside, if any meds or vitamins need to be taken or same with after depending on the time of day needed. Depending on circumstances of boundaries and rules of each pet, I easily find a solution and adapt if needed. I will watch your dog/cat outside or on a leash front or back of yard. If there are off-limit areas inside our outside those will be closed doors or if there’s a gate it will be put up per clients request. If there needs to be check-ins with owner that be applicable, I am attentive to my phone, when and if necessary.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 45 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Upper Fairfax. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
