“Meagan was a dream cat sitter! I have 4 cats and they are spoiled and have a routine that I try not to break. She kept them on routine by accommodating their early morning breakfast time and afternoon dinner so they didn’t feel any additional stress from us being out of town. One of my cats has to get medication and he is terrified of new people. She was so patient with him and worked to earn his trust quickly. By the end of her time taking care of them he was allowing her to pet him, which if you know cats is no small feat. We go out of town a few times a year and I will no doubt be reaching out to Meagan again to watch my babies. I HIGHLY recommend her. She put me at ease and made my trip stress free by taking such great care of them.”
“Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Savannah stepped in on short notice for the holidays and gave Bella and Hobbes the best care imaginable. She brought such warmth, attention, and playful energy—our pets clearly felt safe and loved the entire time. Her support made all the difference, and we’re so grateful for her reliability and kindness. We’d welcome her back anytime!”
About: I have had animals since I was a child. There’s not been a time in my adult life that I haven’t had pets. My husband was a dog trainer in the military for 11 years and has been evicted for the last 10 years. We currently have three dogs and two cats and they are well loved and well cared for. I am currently in the military and I have been for 18 years. Therefore, I understand the struggles of having a pet and having to leave at her moments notice and not having family around to help you. So I would love to hope any families care for their animal babies. I have a fenced yard. I have dog kennels andI have cat kennels to keep the dogs and cats safe. Additionally, all my animals are microchip.
“Sheryl was great with our dog and cat while we were away for the holidays. She was caring, attentive, and followed our instructions for medications to a T. I would definitely recommend to book with her!”
About: I ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience for your furry, scaly, or finned friends while you're away. Whether it's a lazy stroll for your pup, ensuring your cat's needs, or tending to your aquatic or reptilian companions, rest assured that they're in loving and capable hands! I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of your furbabies, I’m just a call away if there is an immediate need! I’m available at just about all times! I care for pets in my clients home and fur-babies as I do my own, if there is a fenced in yard I always double check that gates are locked. I make sure to check their food, water, look around the home to make sure there isn’t anything that needs to be tidied up. I make sure any non-safe objects are out of reach.
About: I've taken care of my own pets and all of my friends and family pets. I've had almost everything from chinchillas, to guinea pigs, to leopard geckos, to a bearded dragon and of course cats and dogs! I dedicate my time to my pet care and dog training so outside of running errands and my dog training appointments, my time is pretty open! I have experience with animal handling from my various jobs involving animals such as being a dog groomer, dog daycare attendant, and also a dog trainer.
About: I’ve cared for neighbors’ and coworkers’ dogs on and off for about 7 years. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including seniors. I currently have a 16 year old Dachshund, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs may need. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work 7-4 at Langley Air Force base so depending on how far it is from base I could stop by during lunch but if not I can stop by during the week before 7 and after 3:30 pm. During the weekends and holidays, I should be free whenever to care for your pet! I live in a comfortable apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can get some fresh air and relax. I’m also happy to take them on regular walks and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!
“Abagail did fantastic with our two cats! She kept us in the loop the entire time, played with and took care of them. Super nice and attentive! We could tell she loved taking care of cats and did a great job. We will 100% rebook her again!! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since I was barely tall enough to see over a food bowl, and that lifelong hands-on experience shaped me into someone who naturally understands animal behavior, routines, and training. I’ve personally trained my own dogs and have always been deeply involved in their care, from daily structure to behavior shaping and enrichment. Right now I share my home with a cat who keeps life interesting, and I’m very attentive to creating a happy, stable environment for pets. Animals have always been a constant part of my life, and caring for them feels less like a task and more like second nature. 🐾 My schedule is pretty structured around my work hours: I work 4pm–12am, and outside of that I’m home and available for the rest of the day. I keep my routine simple and steady, and I’m usually around in the mornings and early afternoons before heading into work. I’m not someone who’s constantly on the go or juggling a million commitments—my life is more grounded in work, home, and taking care of my pets. That balance gives me a lot of consistency and time to focus on what matters day to day. I take safety and trust seriously when it comes to animals and their environment. In the past, I’ve crate-trained my dogs and learned how to create calm, structured routines that help them feel secure and well-behaved. I’m comfortable setting boundaries in a gentle but consistent way, depending on the needs of each pet. My home is also very pet-safe, especially because my current cat is extremely curious and determined to investigate everything. I’ve adapted my space to keep hazards out of reach and ensure it’s a safe, enriched environment where pets can explore without getting into trouble. I pay close attention to what they can access and how they interact with their surroundings, so safety is always built into the way I live with animals. 🐾
About: Hi! I’m Kyla! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I even volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger, and I’ve spent about 6 years caring for dogs. I also worked at a veterinary office for a few years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have such a huge soft spot for animals because they really are the sweetest and most misunderstood babies EVEEEERRRR! 😂❤️ I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a good walk, playtime, cuddles, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. They’ll get plenty of love, attention, and probably way too many compliments from me! 🐶💕 I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I’ll always make sure I have enough time to give your pet a proper visit instead of rushing in and out. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! I’m very patient and attentive, and I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, and anything else are secure, and I’ll keep you updated so you know your baby is safe and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own! 🐶🐱💕
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young girl. I also have worked as a Veterinary Technician on Langley Air Force Base. I enjoy pet sitting all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I am retired and involved in some weekly activities, so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of pet sitting, not to mention the joy of being around pets. I am attentive, detail oriented and versatile. I believe in leaving things the way I found them, or better. I always strife to do my best at whatever I do, and I am a very trustworthy person.
About: Hi everyone! I work from home and would love to be able to use my flexible work schedule to make a little extra money, hang out with adorable animals, and provide care and attention to them. All my life I have had dogs and cats who mean the world to me. Any time I have to be away from them, or need someone to care for them, I want the absolute best person for the job. It’s what our pets deserve! I’d love to be that person for others. I work from home Monday-Friday! Because of this, I’m able to work remotely from anywhere. I’d love to be able to use that flexibility to petsit. I have a few meetings throughout the day, but otherwise I have very open availability to give lots of attention and time to your pets! I’d care for pets in my client’s home exactly how I’d want someone to care for mine. I have a dog who is my whole world, and I’d want to give that same care and attention that she deserves from those who have watched her.
“My cat is very social and is use to me working from home and being around people so he went to stay with Casandra while I was out of town for about a week. I was nervous of course, him staying in a new space but it couldn’t have gone better! Finley got lots of playtime and snuggles, and her updates put me at ease. Finley had a great time while I was away. She is great and knowledgeable with animals and she made Finley feel more than comfortable. Will definitely be booking again if needed!”
“DeHaven and Ashlee were wonderful with my 3 cats, they were patient and made them feel at ease. I can't reccomend them enough! I usually can't enjoy my vacation because I am so anxious about my pets, but I was able to relax knowing they are in good hands.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 208 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Yorktown. 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.
