“Denise took great care of my cat, Socks! She made sure to take some time to play with him and give him his favorite treats and also went above and beyond to clean up a mess he made. Thanks Denise!”
“I loved how wonderful you are in taking care of Finn. You took professional pictures and made Finn look like a model. I'm so glad he behaved with you. I would love to have you back if I need you again in the future.”
“Erin is amazing with our cats! We have a delicate situation where our babies need to be kept separate, and Erin always does a fantastic job of handling our complicated setup. She is extremely responsive and sends great photos. Thank you, Erin!”
“Connie is fantastic! For the first time ever, I decided to use a drop-in sitter to take care of my two cats while I was on vacation. I figured maybe that would help reduce the anxiety of having to put them in the cat carriers and take them to be boarded. What a difference it made! I had a meet and greet with Connie just before I left, and she was so friendly and so caring. Every day she came by to check on my two boys and sent pictures as well! One of them was too shy to ever come down, but when I arrived home today, he was perfectly happy and healthy. Fantastic experience using Connie and rover, I will definitely use it again whether it be for a short term absence or a longer vacation. What a fantastic service!”
About: i’ve taken care of dogs since i was 13. I used to dog sit for my neighbors and friends and family and they all have relied on me to walk,feed, and play with there dogs. I’ve always loved taking care of pets and taking them out to be active! I am currently working during the morning at a daycare but after I am free in the evening and weekends. I am willing to take them on walks and feed them I have a big back yard and I have a playful husky that will keep your dog company. I also have treats and a lot of toys for your dogs to play with aswell.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and have trained many puppies and older dogs alike. All my dogs have been rescues so I’m very familiar with dogs that have come from bad situations and dogs that are misunderstood because of their breeds. I’ve always had dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments. I’m always the first person my friends and family go to when they need some extra help with t dogs or just need someone to watch them while on vacation. I live on 10 acres which is perfect for those dogs that love off leash time but don’t get a lot, I love exploring new areas and have assisted in training dogs while in the military. I'm a stay at home wife who takes care of all our animals! I adore dogs and take mine on several walks a day around the farm, we have a creek that the dogs can swim in as well in the nicer weather. Pets are my passion and I love hosting others in my home and going out to other places to walk pets! I live on twelve acres and can offer a safe environment for dogs to safely play in, I have extra long leads so if your pup isn’t quite off leash trained they can still have an amazing experience with the long leads and all the land. I always follow whatever instructions are left for me as I know how important routines can be for a pet!
About: I've walked dogs as a volunteer as well as administered medication. Those skills taught me patience and understanding while scooping and entertaining the animals. That's it. I'll have plenty of time to play with puppies and dogs. Which will be a good way to support them and make sure they get the loving care they need. I have a regular home that has cats in it and it is a safe place for animals in general. That's about it for that detail.
“Mary was awesome! She took excellent care of our two cats and we were very lucky she was available last minute on a holiday weekend. We would absolutely rebook with Mary again :)”
“Karen was extremely helpful and affectionate towards my cat T-Bone. She checked in every day and sent thoughtful and informative messages about my cat. Karen spent a lot of time with my cat during check-ins, and also helped with litter and checking my cat’s food and water dishes. Karen sent numerous pictures and videos after each visit. She was overall very flexible, a good communicator, and a great comfort while I was away from my pet. I really appreciate her help and would recommend.”
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: Hi! I’m a reliable and active dog walker who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, a longer outing, or just some attention during a drop-in visit, I’m here to help. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, whether that’s high energy exercise or a slower, relaxed walk. During drop-in visits, I can also handle feeding, fresh water, playtime, and quick updates so you know everything is going well. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’m available everyday of the week unless there is conflict. I’m very flexible and can work with whatever time works best for you . No time is too early or too late I respect the owners home and make sure to stay where I belong . I make sure the pet is safe and visible . I like to keep them engaged and play with them .
“Yasmine was fantastic. Our 2 boys loved her. She went above and beyond with playing with them and cleaning up the apartment from all the litter they throw around. Would have her back anytime”
About: Hi! I’m Michi and I’m 26 years old. I’m an experienced pet owner with six cats of my own, so caring for pets is already a huge part of my everyday life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever helps them feel safest and happiest while you’re away. I also have experience taking care of dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, rabbits, birds, hamsters, fish, sugar gliders and more. I absolutely adore all pets and I can guarantee that I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I can walk dogs and can watch your pet at your home. That includes feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up after your pet and any other requests you may have. I am open to last minute scheduling and will travel to your location. I would love to watch your pets if you are unable to, just let me know! *I typically have classes Monday and Wednesday nights from 7-10pm so I’m available for a drop-in either before or after
“Gabrielle took wonderful care of our cat, Izzy, while we were out of town. She stopped by for the initial meeting, sent a thorough summary of all that we discussed, and then kept me informed daily as to how things were going. She not only took great care of Izzy, including giving her daily medication, she also managed to make friends with her! Izzy is normally very uncomfortable around people outside of our family so that was a real accomplishment. Gabrielle also watered our plants daily. I will definitely call on her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Ashley was amazing with our cat sitting needs. Taking time to check food and water as well as changing out the litter box. She even took care of the plants that were in need of some water love during the heat!”
“I highly recommend Cameron G. I contacted Cameron on very short notice right before my trip, and he was able to take great care of my cat. He kept me updated with photos during every visit, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Rosie was happy and well cared for while I was away. If you live in Howard County, Maryland, I would definitely recommend Cameron to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Rosie!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Burtonsville
Tyasia took such good care of our cats the first time that we needed a sitter that we rebooked her when we went on another trip! Booking was a breeze and she gave us fantastic daily updates of the kitties and sent photos. We have one cat who is quite fearful and hid, but Tyasia was able to find her hiding spot and leave her bowl and some treats nearby to ensure she was taken care of. We came home to two happy cats and we are incredibly grateful!
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.
Faith was amazing!! It’s always very anxiety inducing for me to leave my cats, especially since my one is very shy and easily startled. But she took such good care of them and even got my loner cat to come out for some love!! Faith is very communicative and I loved that she sent plenty of pictures each day. It’s obvious that she loves the cats and taking care of animals! I will not hesitate to book her next time I’m out of town :)

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.

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 .
