“Matilda is very dependable and conscientious. Our Cat love is very comfortable with her and I can tell because if Milo is stressed, she looses hair on her ears. After being gone over 2 1/2 week and Matilda caring for her, Milo did not loose any hair at all! That might sound silly, but it shows us how much our cat trusts Matilda.”
“Erica, we want to thank you so much for taking excellent care of our 4 cats. Erica was checking in on our cats twice daily for the week we were on vacation. She arrived right on schedule each day and fed and cared for our cats, and before checkout sent pictures from each visit. When we arrived home our pets were happy and well cared for, thanks to Erica. I highly recommend Erica to anyone who is looking for a reliable, honest and trustworthy caretaker for your pets.”
“Anny is incredibly nice and she did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She sent me photos and updates so I always knew what was going on and went above and beyond, playing with, petting, and brushing my dog not just popping in to dump food in a bowl/rushing the dog outside and leaving.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit anxious how it would go and giving a stranger access to our home. Especially because one of our 2 cats has kidney disease kitty and needs fluid injections every 2 days. But Sarah was absolutely lovely and awesome. You can see that she loved our two kitties, and it looks like everything went really well with our kidney patient. I got pictures and videos every day and they both warmed up easily to Sarah. Sarah gave me a real piece of mind while traveling and I will definitely book her next time I need a sitter ( if she is available). Thank you!!!”
“Marianne’s 12 day visits with our 2 kitties went smoothly, including administering the medicine needed for our older cat. We appreciated the pictures and comments Marianne posted after each visit. The girls were calm and happy to see us. We’ll definitely book with Marianne again.”
“This is the second time my cats were in the care of Coralie. Coralie was highly responsive and caring towards the fur babies - I would recommend Coralie to those who are seeking for a communicative and helpful fur baby sitter.”
“Big thanks to Natalia and Edward for taking such amazing care of our two cats! They were very attentive and communicative and made sure everything went smooth while we were away. I could tell my cats were happy and well-loved, which says a lot of the care Natalia and Edward provided. I really appreciated the updates—they kept me totally at ease. I am particularly thankful for the daily pictures and for flagging that one of the automatic feeders wasn't working properly. Reach out to them if you’re looking for trustworthy pet sitters.”
“Xianting was very patient and professional and monitor the conditions of my cat closely. It was our first time using rover and we immediately love Xianting and would love to come back to her again. Highly recommended!”
About: Just like cats, I’ve had several dogs, big or small. I’ve helped at my local shelter, feeding the dogs their medication, and spending long hours understanding them. I’m currently unemployed, I’ll have all day to tend to your pups/kitties! I’m currently studying virtually, so I can always prioritize them above all. I have a large yard and several parks in my vicinity/nature trail. I have a 2500 sq ft floor, meaning I have plenty of room for a fuzzy friend.
About: My name is Tiana Palmer. Born & raised in Baltimore, MD by way of Dallas, TX. I travel back and forth from both areas for work and open to welcoming new clients as the fall/winter season is approaching. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals, especially canines. I have plenty of clients who can vouch that at all times their dog, cat, even a turtle can be trusted in my hands. With my personable spirit and love for the animals I have been recognized by my peers and colleagues on numerous occasions about my enthusiasm and passion for care taking. My availability is pretty open. I’m usually free for walks in the morning til the evening. If it’s overnights I will follow the client’s schedule. I have extensive experience in animal welfare, animal behavior and language. Also, prompt if meds are needed for pet. The schedule such as feedings, walks, baths and etc. that the client has for their animal it will be as followed.
About: I love connecting with dogs and cats alike, and giving them all the attention and/or same-room-companionship they need. I understand that a pet spends all day waiting to see and be with their human, so I'm happy to make that wait just a little shorter and easier. I'll cuddle, give scratches, and play for as long as they like - I'm happy to just hang out with the introverted ones, too. Animals fill me with joy, so I'll do whatever I can to make them feel happy too! My experience comes from growing up with dogs and cats in the family - they were always like another sibling in the house. All the responsibilities were given to me and my sibling, so I know how to treat a furry-baby like family and with love. Right now I've got my own cat, Beatrix, who is the Queen of the Castle (rightfully so). I regularly board my parents' dog, Buddy, whenever they go traveling. He's like my lil brother! In my day-to-day, I am an actress, writer, producer, and director, so I've got the playful spirit your pupper or kitten may need! I also do senior home care in Ellicott City, MD, making me a great person to care for your home as well as your loved ones. Right now I work consistently part-time on weekdays in the mornings until the early afternoon, so my late afternoons and evenings are available for pet care. I always treat another person's home with complete respect, only entering spaces I'm meant to be in and handling items I'm meant to handle. I will always double check windows and doors for security after a visit.
“Corinne was great with my three cats. Two of them are very affectionate and need a lot of love. The third is really shy. Cornnie spent a lot of time with the needy ones and had calm energy for the shy one. My shy cat actually ended up headbutting her by the end of the week and he has never done that with a sitter before! We will be booking with Cornnie again.”
About: Growing up my family always had a dog and a cat. We rescued our family cat when she was a week old after her mom and litter mates left her for being the runt of the litter. We had to come up with a way to feed her using a straw and litter trained her from scratch. I currently have a full-time day job where I work from home. My available times for longer viaits and care are Monday through Friday are 5-8 AM and 6-10 PM. I am available during the day on a limited basis for shorter visits or walking appointments. During holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays I am fully available to meet your pets’ needs! I am really good at following instructions on how your pet needs to be cared for and am also mindful of keeping your home clean and organized.
About: I've owned pets for my entire life and taken care of them since I was a kid. I can take them for long walks, feed them, play with them and take care of them. I am currently working part- time, so I have plenty of time for your pets. I can visit your pets once or twice throughout the day while you're at work. I am happy to care for your pets and your home, if you need someone to take in mail or water your plants. Safety is a priority, so I am attentive to any concerns you have for your house or pets.
About: While I have not worked professionally as a pet sitter before, I have hands-on experience caring for my own cat. I provide daily care including feeding, refreshing her water, cleaning her litter box, and making sure she is comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention. Caring for my cat has taught me to be responsible, patient, and attentive to an animal’s individual needs. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have a cat of my own, so I’m used to providing consistent daily care, including feeding, refreshing her water, cleaning her litter box, and making sure she is comfortable and well cared for. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to provide that same level of attention and care to other people’s pets. I care for pets by making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I follow their individual routines and pay attention to their behavior and needs. In a client’s home, I would make sure their pet stays comfortable and follows the same routine they are used to while their owner is away.
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or gentle seniors. I have experience with basic training for young pets, helping reinforce good habits, and I’m patient and compassionate with older animals who may need extra support or mobility assistance. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind. I can work part time and spend as much time as needed with each pet. I love taking care of animals. Pet care is a part of my daily routine I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to accommodate different needs. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks and any specific instructions. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates (Pictures), and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. At the end of the day I want each pet that I meet to have a loving care experience and feel relaxed and well cared for at all times.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ammendale
Matilda is very dependable and conscientious. Our Cat love is very comfortable with her and I can tell because if Milo is stressed, she looses hair on her ears. After being gone over 2 1/2 week and Matilda caring for her, Milo did not loose any hair at all! That might sound silly, but it shows us how much our cat trusts Matilda.
Rachel has a confident, calm and caring approach to pet care. She is professional, on time and flexible with the needs of each of the dogs and cat (and me!) Rachel took the time to understand each of their personalities and bonded with them, and provided fantastic communication and feed back during the entire booking period.
Nathalie is an outstanding cat sitter. We came home to very happy, healthy, and well loved cats. Nathalie was a great communicator about how our cats were doing and helped us work through getting them used to their new feeders. We loved the daily photos and the clear peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of so professionally.
Olivia was a wonderful sitter for our three cats. We arranged her service at the last minute after our regular sitter was unavailable. Our cats immediately took to her as she lovingly extended her hand to meet them. They were fed, litter boxes were cleaned and they were calm when we returned. Great communication and it was a nice touch to get photo updates! I can highly recommend her service!
Amy took outstanding care of our diabetic cat while we were away, making sure he was fed and received his insulin injections twice each day exactly as instructed. She was consistently prompt and reliable, which gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing our pets were on schedule. In addition to caring for our cat, she also fed the local community cats that we oversee. Her attention to detail, compassion, and genuine care for animals were evident throughout her visits. Amy communicated well, followed every instruction carefully, and went above and beyond our expectations. We would gladly trust her with our cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and caring pet care! 10 outta 10!
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 November 2026, there are 2,627 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 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.

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.
