“Highly recommend! At the meet and greet she was so easy to talk to and our dog Luna loved her! While we were away I didnt worry if callie and luna were taken care of, she sent pictures of them getting all the love and attention. I think our house was cleaner than when we left too, 10/10 will be using every time we go out of town!”
About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life. I currently care for my own horse, two wonderful dogs, and two beloved cats, so I understand firsthand that every pet deserves individualized attention, patience, and genuine affection. As a lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses of all personalities—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets and large animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, companionship, or simply someone to love on them while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I also have a reliable truck, my husband, Ken, will often drive so I can entertain or furry guest. If your pet needs transportation to a veterinary appointment, doggie daycare, or grooming appointment, we can help. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. For Ken and me, caring for animals isn't just a job-it's what brings us joy. Because I own my own business, I have more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. This allows me to provide reliable visits, personalized attention, and plenty of updates while you’re away. As someone who shares my home with two dogs, two cats, and my horse, Grayson, I know how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and genuine love while following their routine as closely as possible. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel safe and for you to have complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends and families dogs since I can remember. From single old pups to a house of 10 dogs and cats I’m currently off and free every Monday-Thursday after 2-3pm. Sometimes even as early as 10am. I’m open all afternoon and well into the next morning till 6am. I can only offer to take care of pets at your property, they’d rather be home anyways right? I find that animals prefer a new person in their own nest rather than in a strange new environment.
“Discovered Laura and her helpful daughter on a last minute trip. They were great with Roxie and provided excellent communication on the drop in visits.”
“Laura is the best! She took great care of my cats while I was on a weekend getaway. Laura is the ultimate cat whisperer — if you would like someone who not only makes sure the cats are fed and kitty litter cleaned, but goes above and beyond to spend quality time with your kitties while you’re away, I 100% recommend Laura to take care of your fur babies.”
About: Had a dog growing up; cat for 6 years of my adult life Got into pet sitting for a family with 2 dogs, 3 cats — really enjoyed being active with their dogs and spending time with their pets when needed. I work full time from roughly 8:30-5:00pm I work remote at my home 2-3x a week My hobbies include being active running/walking; so what a perfect way to also spend time with animals as well. Love to travel so schedule can vary. Fenced yard with outdoor grass area. I live near the oceanfront, so I love to be active and walk around my neighborhood and or boardwalk.
“Jamie was a very attentive cat sitter. She showed up on time and made sure my two older cats were well taken care of. I appreciated that Jamie let me know how things were going and asked questions. I would be happy to have her come again!”
About: Purrsonalized cat care is my specialty, but I can care for your doggies as well. I am friendly and communicate well with both pets and people, so you can tell me what your pets needs, and your pet can too! I am available 4th of July weekend, all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday until about 1pm and after 9pm, so book early. I am available for hours not listed on the calendar, because there are not many options. In general I am available anytime Saturdays and after 3pm on Sundays, weekdays up til about 1 pm. and after 9 pm. I own my own home near the Virginia Beach Convention Center so I'm coming from there in the mornings or days off and when I'm working I'm coming from near Lynnhaven Mall, to help you gauge time frames. Even though I was a registered cat breeder, my cats lived inside my home as spoiled pets. I have a cat room with cat apartments, ramps, catwalks, scratchers and everything kitties love. I am building an outdoors catio right now. I am not using my home for boarding, but I can help cat families with ideas. I spoil my kitties. I love them to the moon and back, as I will yours! If you request more info from me, I'll share my Instagram with you and you can see how my own cats and those from me are spoiled as they should be.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Virginia Beach
Megan is an amazing sitter! She has watched my 2 kittens in the past and does an amazing job! They both love her and are always excited to see her! On this particular visit, the original sitter that was watching them suddenly stopped showing up without notice. I reached out to Megan after Rover couldn't find another sitter and she was gracious enough to help us out!

Laura is the ultimate cat whisperer — if you would like someone who not only makes sure the cats are fed and kitty litter cleaned, but goes above and beyond to spend quality time with your kitties while you’re away, I 100% recommend Laura to take care of your fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Virginia Beach on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 998 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Virginia Beach. 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.

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 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.
