“As usual our kitties were happy and we received great updates and pictures. We trust Alexandra to watch them any time we go out of town, but especially when we travel overseas, knowing they will be well cared for.”
“Stefany was great with our pets. They all came out to visit her, which doesn't happen to all care providers. She was friendly and professional to us and very loving to the kitties.”
“Matilda did a great job checking in on my dog. I love that she initiated a pre-walk-through to make sure that she had a good understanding of what to do. She sent pictures and detailed updates which I really appreciate it.”
“Carla was great. I tend to be one of those pet mothers that is very anxious about leaving my dog with others, or even alone for extensive periods of time. I felt at ease this time around and each check-in was in a timely manner. Overall great experience with Carla!”
“Brandon was amazing! Super professional and easy to work with. We were leaving our cats for the longest we’ve been away from them before, but Brandon made us feel confident they were in good hands. He was also kind enough to water several plants and pick up our mail. We especially appreciated his availability over the holidays. He was great!”
“Connie is my go to sitter for a very good reason, because my experience with her over the last four years has been exemplary. I trust her with my fur baby family without reservation. On my last trip my baby Mylah had a crisis with a chronic disease and Connie went above and beyond to get my pet the help she needed. Because of experiences like this, I know she treats my furry kids like her own. She is an amazing person and I trust her completely when it comes to my furry family.”
About: Hi! My name is Renee and I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I grew up in a household with many different kinds of pets including dogs, rodents, and reptiles. I currently own two small dogs, Shih Tzu and Maltese mixes, one is 13 and the other is 3. I love all animals and am comfortable with them all. I’m currently unemployed so I have tons of time to care for and play with your furry friends! I’m mostly available on weekends as I have responsibilities weekdays, but I’m very flexible! I have a fenced in yard. I would keep my dogs separate just as a proactive measure since they are small. In your home I would care for your precious pet how you see fit!
About: I've loved animals my whole life, back to the days of summer camp at the National Zoo. I've walked many different dogs through watching friends' and neighbors' pets and volunteering at local animal shelters. I'm also a cat lover who has had cats in the house my whole life, and I even have some experience with pet fish! Animals of all sizes and personalities will be well-loved when spending time with me. :) Added bonus: I'm an excellent pet photographer, so I promise I'll get your furry friend's best side! I'm on summer break from school starting June 19, 2026, so I'll be available most days (including daytime, evenings, and weekends) unless I'm traveling! Before then, I'm available evenings and weekends. My priority is making sure your pet is safe and feels safe with me. I will always ensure your animal has food and water, bathroom access, and protection from other animals. I'm happy to accommodate any pet-specific concerns, too -- I have lots of experience with reactive dogs and will discuss your pet's needs before I spend time with them. I'm committed to spending as much time as needed making sure an animal feels comfortable with me.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep empathy, patience, and lifelong commitment to animals. While I do not offer professional training, I have a wealth of experience that money cannot buy: providing compassionate, dedicated care to senior pets and animals with health challenges. Throughout my life, I have loved and cared for my own pets from youth through their golden years, learning firsthand how to give them the highest quality of life, comfort, and dignity during their old age. I know how to maintain gentle routines, administer specialized care with patience, and offer the calm, loving environment that older or delicate dogs need. Please note that my primary language is Spanish and my spoken English is basic, but I am always practicing, and I communicate perfectly to give you daily updates and follow your exact instructions to keep your furry family member safe and happy. As a professional oil painter, I have total time flexibility. I can easily visit your pets whenever needed. For longer stays, I can even bring my small portable easel and work on my art right there with them. I don't need much space! I can paint, watch them, and play with them throughout the day, ensuring your pet is never lonely and always safe I provide care exclusively at the owner's home, where your pet feels most comfortable and safe. I strictly follow your house rules and safety routines. Whether your pet prefers open space to play or needs quiet time in their designated area, I adapt completely. I ensure your home stays perfectly clean and secure while providing constant love, supervision, and companionship to your furry family member. I offer basic dog bathing, blow-drying, and brushing. I am not a professional groomer, but I can do simple machine trims/shaves only if you provide the clippers and equipment. I do not do complex or professional scissor styling. Standard rate is for a basic bath; extra trim services can be adjusted before booking
“I hired a Rover sitter but at the last moment they were unable to do the job. Rover helped me identify Nicholas as a good candidate. We had very little time to make any arrangements or explain what to do. He handled it all and I had no worries. I will definitely use him again!”
“Paola! Love her!!! So responsive and wonderful with our kitties. She sent SOOOO many pics and went out of her way to check on and care for our older, more shy guy! Already booked her again and can’t wait for more. Thank you so much Paola💕”
“I highly recommend Marina! She’s timely, attentive and it’s been so easy communicate my dog’s needs with her. She sends me pictures after every visit and she lets me know right way if there are any issues. I’ll centrally ask for her services again!”
About: Individual with a BS degree in animal science who loves animals of all kinds and would love to keep your furry family members as happy, active, and healthy as possible while you are away! I have over 1000 hours working with animals in all aspects from basic husbandry and pet sitting to veterinary clinical care! I work at an animal hospital/daycare/boarding facility full time, so my availability for mid-day services such as walks or drop in visits would be limited to my days off (usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays). Due to my busy schedule working a full time job at a veterinary clinic, my services are best suited to individual walks or drop in visits, or sitting for pets that are able to be left alone for 8+ hours at a time.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ammendale
I love how conscientious Matilda is with all of our requests and providing feedback to us during her visits. My cat, Milo, is warming up to her and has even spent time on her lap (for my Scardy Cat - that is amazing). I hope to continue to use her during our travels.
Layla is AWESOME SAUCE!! My kitties are typically "anti-humam other than mommy", but one of my kitties actually made contact with her several times. Layla is very sweet, she's observant, she's thoughtful, she's polite, and she genuinely loves and cares for animals. I'm so happy I was able to find her to look after my babies while I was away. I wasn't worried one bit because I knew she was dropping in on them while I was gone, and she took very good care of them!
I'm very happy with the care Kristy gave my cats. She went above and beyond, and I really appreciated how communicative she was and how she provided pictures and a thorough report after each drop-in visit. I would highly recommend her to others and plan to utilize her services in the future.
Ashley was absolutely amazing! Our cat, Smokie, can be pretty shy with new people, but Ashley connected with her so beautifully. By the second or third day, Smokie was more playful and even excited to see her when she came by. Ashley gave us thorough updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that really put us at ease. The way she tuned into Smokie’s needs and her gentle, attentive approach made all the difference. We highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter. We will definitely be using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 8,288 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ammendale. 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.
