“Kat is fantastic! My two very shy cats loved Kat; she kindly spent time with both of them during each drop in visit we scheduled for 5 consecutive days and provided us with daily pics/updates. I highly recommend Kat for any pet sitting or walking needs. Thanks, Kat!”
“Samantha was great with my cat! She was attentive, responsive, and respectful of our home. She was sure to send updates daily. I would definitely feel comfortable using her to watch my cat again and would be happy to recommend her to anyone who needs care for their pet!”
“Elizabeth was extremely caring and responsible for our two cats during a month long trip during the winter (including bad weather). We would definitely recommend her for providing care for any fur family members.”

I have my own dogs bear 3 who is a husky German Shepard mix and tank a jack Russell chihuahua mix. I love animals and have always enjoyed helping care for them! I am currently at home helping care for my family. I have an open schedule and cant wait to help with your animals! Most days I have available to help take on animal care and love. I am a very trust worthy person, I was a in home care taker for 4 years helping care for a home and their two children in their home. I have worked in banking for many years and I am also a military veteran. I would take the upmost pride in giving the best care!
“Sophia was very flexible and communicative through the whole process! She was a great sitter for my hyperactive cat, and always gave me detailed notes with a photo attached for her drop-ins. She went above and beyond to care for my cat, and is a very caring individual!”
“Alexis went above and beyond taking care of our kitties!!! She was amazing with having one of my cats needing medication daily. She cared for them like they were her own pets. Exactly what you want when you’re away and not having to worry about your pets! She was also willing to help out with some house things also!! I would Highly recommend her to care for your pets!! She was very caring and loving! My one cat is very skittish & hardly comes out for me, and she was out everyday waiting to visit with Alexis!! Would have her back anytime to care for my pets!!!”
“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
“The best sitter we could ask for. Our cat, Bruce, was sick while we were out of town and Bethany went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed to feel better. An angel.”
“As always, Colleen was great. Daily visits and photos to show how well my cat was being treated. Additionally, she took the job over the holidays when I really needed to go out of town for a family matter and I didn't know if I would be able to get a cat sitter. She's the best!”
About: I have always had pets since childhood and adore all kinds, even exotics! I have 3 years of veterinary medicine experience and I am comfortable with temperaments, body language, senior pet care, wound care and medication administration. I am able to stop in to care for pets before and after work as well as more frequently depending on distance. I will hangout for a little to make our friend feel a little less lonely if you’re on a trip! I ensure that all items are out of reach and that all medication and food are given (plus some treats!). Making the pet comfortable and happy is my goal!
“Aubreigh is so kind and sweet. We were super nervous about letting someone in our house to care for our pets but she put us at ease. She had great contact with us and lives in our dogs like they were hers. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have been house & pet sitting since I was a young teenager. I take pride in being responsible and leaving things better than I found them. I am comfortable with all ages of dogs & cats, and I have provided special care to senior dogs who needed home cooked meals & medication. I am comfortable administering various types of medications, or caring for animals with special needs. I work full time during school hours, but I am available in the afternoon, evening, & weekends for dog walks & pet sitting. I will still watch pets during the week if I’m working, and I am willing stay at the owner’s home with planning & discussion. It works very well for me to care for animals in their home. I notice that animals feel more comfortable staying in their space. I value keeping someone’s home clean while they are away.
About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!
“We hope that Danielle can continue to help us out with our dog. She was very responsive to our inquiries and made our first time using Rover a breeze. She took great care of our dog and we felt at ease going away for the weekend knowing Danielle was watching our pup!!”
About: I have always loved animals since I was born. When I was in high school I started pet sitting all over lancaster and when I was a senior I went to school to become a veterinary assistant which lead to tech school. A decade later I am still in the veterinary field doing what I love… saving lives! I have experience from small animal to large and even experience with exotics/pocket pets. I promise to always provide the best care possible for your fur baby! I will always treat them as my own. 🥰 I currently work for a small veterinary clinic where my hours are 9-5 Monday-Thursday and 9-12 on Fridays. I do not work weekends! I am more than willing to stop in, spend the night, or do whatever best fits your animals needs! I have had training throughout the years while being in school, attending continuing education in other states, and working with animals every single day since I was 17 years old. I am CPR certified for both cats & dogs. I promise to provide the best care possible!
“Allison was fantastic!! Very reliable! She sends pictures of the fur babies everyday! You can tell she loves your pets and is compassionate about taking great care of them! Will definitely book her again! Thanks Allison!!”
About: I’ve taken care of several pets my whole life! I truly enjoy dealing with all kinds of breeds and ages for both dogs and cats. También hablo español! I am a full time student and also work part time during the weekends . My available days are Monday to Thursday in the afternoon to late evenings. I’m open to discuss any time frame that works for you! I will do my best to make sure to understand your pet needs. Being aware of surroundings, understanding walking routes, behavior management, and any other instructions requested by the owner.
“Rachel was wonderful. My dogs were excited every time she visited. She left copious notes on what they were up to. She cleaned up any messes they made and kept them happy, healthy and safe.”
“Trish did a wonderful job with our pets and house sitting. This was our first experience with Rover and she did a nice job explaining the process. We have a very complicated set of cats and Trish handled them extremely well, including medications. During the trip Trish was communicated well send lots of updates and pictures which was reassuring. We really appreciated leaving them with someone who obviously cares as much for animals as we do.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,038 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bethesda. 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.
