About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine. With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

Upper Shockoe Valley, Richmond, VA, 23223

About: I have personal experience taking care of (walking, bathing, feeding, enrichment, training) all animals and love to do it. Professionally, I’ve worked at doggy daycares, other dog-walking and pet-sitting apps, and volunteered to assist with puppy births. My experience is mostly with dogs; however, I have taken care of cats and more! I work a full-time job, but my hours are flexible which means I have days I am in-office or at home and I do not work weekends. It is very easy for me to leave work to provide pet care and return later that day or make-up hours later in the week. I am very gentle with animals and the safety of pets and those around them comes first - always. I plan to keep the pet comfortable and enriched. It is very easy to follow a schedule and routine for medications, bathroom breaks, bedtimes, and playtime. I pay close attention to details and take the time to learn pet behaviors to ensure they get the best care.

About: Hi! I’m Makenna, an experienced pet care professional with a background in both dog grooming and pet resort care. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, providing walks, feeding, medication, enrichment, and plenty of love and attention. My grooming experience has also given me a strong understanding of canine behavior and handling. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a college student, but I complete most of my coursework from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. When school starts I will be sure to mark my availability. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With professional experience in both pet care and dog grooming, I’m confident caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have experience administering medications and following specific care instructions to ensure every pet receives the attention they need. I’ll stick to your pet’s routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I work full time during the day, so I’m available for visits on weekday evenings after 6 PM and have much more flexibility on weekends. Taking care of my own cat, Marcel, is already a big part of my daily life, so checking in on, feeding, playing with, and caring for other pets feels like an extension of what I already do. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to make sure pets get the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I’ve always loved cats and understand that every cat is different. My own cat, Marcel, has anxiety, so I know how important it is to be patient and let cats get comfortable at their own pace. I pay attention to their routines, body language, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether a cat wants lots of playtime and attention or prefers their space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of love and care while their family is away. My goal is to make sure your cat feels comfortable, cared for, and as stress free as possible until you get home.

About: I’ve always loved animals and grown up around so many dogs and cats. I enjoy providing pets with great care and treating them like my own. I have experience with animals of all ages and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for! I’m currently in graduate school and have class until 11:50! I’m free before/after and free during the weekend as well. Overall, my schedule is very flexible. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep them as comfortable as possible and maintaining their normal routine. I follow their feeding, walking, and playtime routines, while giving them plenty of affection.

About: I've been pet sitting since I was a little kid and grew up with dogs and cats, and since I work from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule. I love getting outside for walks and tend to walk 10k steps daily, so if you have an active dog, I’m your girl! I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I love getting to spend quality time with yours! My ultimate goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home from 9am - 5pm, so I’ll be very available during the week. I have set evening plans on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I have no standing commitments all other days of the week. I will follow whatever protocol you have for your pets. Whether that’s a specific routine, individual needs, and/or keeping you up to date with pics / messages. I want you to feel like your furry friends are in good hands!

About: I’ve been a cat mama since our family cat chose me as his favorite nap spot the day I came home from the hospital! I raised my next bestie from the day she was born until she crossed the rainbow bridge, and I’ve loved my Fiona for nearly 14 years. I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication, accommodating quirky needs, and navigating sassy attitudes! I also grew up with a family dog and helped care for him while living at home and during college breaks. That included feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I bring patience and attention to each pet’s personality and routine, and I’m happy to learn all the little details that help yours feel comfortable and loved. I currently work freelance and have a very flexible schedule so my days are built around what bookings I have in a given week. Let me know what your needs are and we can work something out 🙂 Each visit comes will include a food, water and liter refresh plus treats, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I have plenty of experience with cats of all temperaments and will adjust care according to your instruction.

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 provide my services exclusively to cat owners. While I find dogs delightful, I have not had any of my own and therefore I'm not comfortable pet-sitting dogs. I have plenty of flexibility at the moment! That being said, I'm not available during the following times for most of September and October: - Mon & Wed: 6pm - 9:30pm - Sat: 9am - 2pm I'm respectful of my client's home and pets. I always double check that all doors and windows are locked before leaving, a habit I picked up from having my own pets. I'm also keen on learning pets' personalities and play styles to ensure their comfort. For example, a skittish cat would hide from me, but may still enjoy my presence from a distance. These are just a few details that I would ask the owner before engaging in pet-sitting.

About: I love animals, and have been taking care of dogs/cats since I was 12. I’m was a long term foster mom and have a ton of experience with volunteering for animals. I love walks/runs and giving animals enrichment time. I’d love to take great care of your fur babies. I’m a full time college student but only have 3 in person classes Monday-Thursday, from 9-12pm. Other than that I’m very free and available. My homework is easily completed anywhere and I like to leave free time in my days for exercise. I’m very neat and respectful of others home, making sure to keep yards/litter boxes clean and make sure that a space looks cleaner than I found it. I also don’t mind doing additional chores to be sure you and your fur baby are happy and comfortable.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Varina

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Varina is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $16 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 October 2026, there are 1,244 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Varina. 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , 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.
