“Clara did an excellent job caring for my seven year old kitty Bonnie. I came home to a happy and well fed cat. Thanks so much Clara and I will definitely call upon you to care for Bonnie in the future!”
“Nicole was reliable and communicative with her drop-ins, and sent notes and pictures about how the cats were doing. She went above and beyond cleaning up barf when both cats decided to puke the same day. My cat really took to her and enjoyed sitting in her lap for pets. I am more at ease when I travel knowing that Nicole is caring for my babies.”
“Stephanie stepped in on short notice and took great care of our dog and cat while we were away? She left helpful notes, sent photos and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were out of town! I would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her when we travel again.”
“Julianna did a great job keeping us informed of how our kitty was doing during our five days away from home, always sending pictures and giving us updates on how the kitty was handling our absence. We recommend her highly.”
“Jana was absolutely wonderful! She was very responsive and kind with my shy kitty. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted sitter for their felines!”
“We are so fortunate to have found Vitali! If you want to go on vacation and not have to worry about your pets plotting your demise, hire Vitali B! Great communication and our kitties were so relaxed upon our return that they barely noticed us when we walked in to the house. Meow.....”
“Drew is just downright amazing! Braved the winter storm to take care of our boys and went above and beyond as a sitter. Extremely responsive and friendly to us and the cats. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.”
“Great to have Ariana back with my cats for the weekend! They were happy to see me but I could tell they were spoiled while I was away. Ariana is so fast to message back and takes fantastic photos!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs in the family since I was 8 or 9. I love to play with all kinds of dogs and go on long walks. I will be available to take care of your pets anytime weekdays or weekends! I am starting a full time job in mid October but until then I am around. I have a very calm environment with a completely fenced grassy yard with lots of space to play. We have one indoor cat but she can keep to herself or play a little.
About: I've had pets all my life! I grew up with several cats, fish, a rabbit, and a dog, so I have experience with various animals. I've also taken care of guinea pigs for friends. I'll send photos and updates often so you can stay connected with your pet! I am at work during the day but during the week, I am usually available after 5pm. This means I can do evening visits and walks! I like to be active and really enjoy being outdoors :) During weekends, I am usually available for overnight pet sitting if that is something your pet needs! Having a new person around can be stressful, so I will do my best to make sure your pet is comfortable. When caring for a pet in an owner's house, I am very careful to maintain the state of the home. I also communicate with the owners often and send them cute pictures of their pets!
About: Hi! My name is Vana and I am a remote worker in DC. I joined this service for some extra money and to meet and play with people's pets! I've taken care of animals all my life, from cats to dogs to guinea pigs to horses. I cared for/owned horses for four years (no big dog is too scary!), have had cats all my life, and had a hyper Aussie and sweet beagle of my own. I can take care of the youngest puppy to the oldest dog and my puppy days certainly hardened me for non-stop playtime and bountiful walks. I know how important pets are to every family and will treat your fur baby as I would my own. If you're interested in dog walking, drop-ins, or house sitting then feel free to message me and we can work something out. Due to my flexible remote/hybrid schedule, I’m available for all-day sitting at your home with frequent potty breaks and walks for a per diem rate, or can do drop-ins throughout the day. I also have overnight availability with advance (3+ days) notice. Thank you! As a hybrid worker, I have a flexible schedule and I am able to schedule my work around pet care. If I house sit then I remain at the house for most of the day and take care of the animals there, making sure to never leave them for more than a few hours. For drop-ins and walking, I make sure to build my daily schedule around those visits. I follow all instructions laid out to me by the owners and make sure the animals get their play while being safe and secure. I make sure to follow potty and food schedules, and ensure dogs get their daily exercise if it’s needed.
About: Hi, I’m Meriam! I work fully from home and have a flexible schedule. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Most of my friends have pets, so I’ve occasionally helped care for their dogs and cats when needed. I’m patient, attentive, and mindful of each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping them company :) I work fully from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and quality time on both weekdays and weekends. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and care, while keeping their environment clean, comfortable, and secure. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos.
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
“Hannah did such a great job with our kitten while we were out of town! Sent lots of pictures and updates that definitely helped our peace of mind leaving our girl for the first time! 😺”
“Barbie was wonderful. She took great care of our cat, providing lots of cuddles and even stayed longer than the allotted 30 minutes. Barbie was also very communicative with us so we knew Gus was in the best hands. Would highly recommend Barbie to anyone that needs pet care!”
About: I’ve help my friends taken care of different types of dogs when they are away. I understand dogs can feel anxious when their owners are gone, so I give them calm, consistent companionship. I’m working full time from Monday to Friday with every Friday work remotely. More availability from Friday to Sunday.My boyfriend works 100% remotely and he can help me too. I love spend time with furry friends. I care for each pet based on their individual personality, routine, and needs. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and any other parts of their normal routine. I know many cats feel most comfortable when things stay familiar, so I’ll give them space when they want it and plenty of attention when they’re ready for it. I’ll also keep their environment clean and secure and send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I own two cats and regularly take care of my dad‘s dog teddy when he is at work And I take great joy in doing so. I recently graduated from high school and I’m currently between jobs and college so I am available most of the day this may change in the coming months I will make sure anything required for your pet for walks or check-in will be met so they are happy and healthy. My number one priority is to make sure both the client and the pet has everything they need.
About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bethesda
We always have a great experience when Gabrielle watches our cat Annie, and this time was no different. We were gone for a longer time than normal, but Gabrielle took great care of Annie and made sure she was comfortable and looked after. We will always recommend Gabrielle!
Yuxi is the most wonderful pet sitter. She took such good care of my cat while I was gone, sending frequent updates with photos and videos. It is obvious she loves animals and they love her back. I was able to thoroughly enjoy my trip and relax knowing that my cat was in such good hands. Thank you again Yuxi!
We hired Daria to help us with our special needs cat while we were away. She was very willing to learn what was needed and our cats loved her. Our cat, Gus, is very nervous around new people- but he took to Daria very quickly and melted into her arms by Day 3- this is a solid recommendation!
This was our second time having Edgar look after our cats, and he did a great job again! He sent fantastic photos and videos each day, which we loved getting while we were away. It was reassuring to know our cats were in good hands. We’d happily book him again!
Peggy was great! She took amazing care of both of my cats and sent lots of pictures, which I adored. I had to cancel two visits on the day of due to personal issues and she was totally understanding. She was also super patient when I was having technical issues letting her into my building. Peggy is an obvious superstar of a cat sitter and an outstanding person! I highly recommend booking her!!

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
