“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!”
“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 :)”
“Des, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Hello during our emergency. You did an excellent job with the fluid injections—you’re such a quick learner and incredibly patient. We truly appreciate all your help. We’ll definitely hire you again in the future as our pet sitter. You’ve done an outstanding job!”

I always ensure to go through and memorize their routines and feeding schedules. I always respect the home owners home as well and make sure it stays clean!
“Sydni is a wonderful cat sitter. She sends detailed narratives as well as cute pictures each time. She gave Corona the attention he needed, besides taking care of his basic needs. I’ll certainly request Sydni again, and highly recommend her to other pet guardians.”

“Stephani did an excellent job with our two cats! She came each day and spent the full drop in time with them, scooped litter, made sure they ate, and also played with them while we were away. It was clear to us that our boys loved having Stephani around, and she flagged anything amiss to us each day she came by. We will absolutely book with Stephani again!”

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.
About: I have had cats since 2018, when we went to a shelter and found a little orange fluff hiding under another cat. Since then, my family has accumulated a gang of 8 cats! Some younger, some older, I have experience with kittens as well as older cats. I don’t have as much experience with dogs, just occasionally walking them but I am looking to learn and happy to tend to every pet’s needs! I am available late evenings and on weekends for any needs and to meet all the fur babies! I have a full time job, but I am free after 4-5 PM on weekdays, and all day on weekends. I will follow any specific needs your pets need. At home, I have 2 cats who love to chase each other around. They have space to roam, and they are indoor only!
“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!”
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Burtonsville
This was our first time using Rover. We were very pleased with our cat sitter, Denise. We enjoyed her reports and photos of Callie and Winston. The pictures show that she got them to play with toys they like and even some they usually don't pay much attention to. We have already booked Denise for when we are away on a longer trip next month.
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.

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.

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 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.
