“Teffni’s been a responsible and caring sitter throughout the 3 weeks stint with our cat. She’s punctual, responsive and meticulously handled the duties of looking after our cat well. Will definitely consider her for future sitting needs and recommend her services to anyone.”
“Samuel was a wonderful sitter! He was very attentive and responsible, he sent great summaries and pictures, and was flexible when fitting me in last minute. My rambunctious kitty had a great with him!”
“Rover review She took great care of Hazy while I was away. He unfortunately developed vomiting and diarrhea during my trip, so she had to clean up after him daily and keep a close eye on him. It may have been anxiety- but nonetheless-She even brought a probiotic from home for him, which I really appreciated. I ended up adding three extra visits so she could continue monitoring him, and she was reliable and communicative throughout. I really appreciated her taking on the extra work while Hazy wasn’t feeling well.”
“Maya is awesome! We needed a sitter in a pinch and she made an effort to fit in a meet and greet right away. She followed directions perfectly with our cat and was super responsive and easy to communicate with! Will def book again. Thanks, Maya!”
“I simply cannot express the relief I had while traveling with Vanessa as my house/pet sitter. I have 2 cats and was babysitting my daughters cat, who arrived the day I left. Vanessa sent pics everyday of the cats snuggled with her or chilling in their fav spots! My trip was very unexpected, and it was my first time using Rover. I’ve always wary booked Vanessa again for a trip I had planned and was going to take my cat to my daughters, but it was so much more relaxing for them here in their home❤️”
“Connie was seriously amazing!! After our meet & greet with Connie, we left feeling like our cats were in very good hands. Connie is an extremely kind and gentle person with animals, and very respectful of our needs and our home as well. She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats. Connie provided drop-in visits for us every other day for about 2 weeks and did an amazing job with our cats. Connie was very communicative, sent pictures during her drop-ins, and made sure our cats were loved and well taken care of while we were away. We outlined various cat-care things that needed to be checked on during her drop-in visits, and Connie not only checked those items but also provided status updates for each item after each drop-in. We really appreciated her going above and beyond with our cats. We are definitely going to rebook Connie again in the future!”
About: As someone who owns 2 cats and has grown up around 3 dogs, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and certain needs. Whether they are looking to play, go on an adventure, chill out and watch the birds, or meet new friends, I make sure theirs and your needs are met! Experience leash walking, putting on harnesses, dosage-measuring and medication administering, and long-term care. I am currently performing cat sitting full-time, so my schedule is perfect for all types of pet care — no matter the distance! I have helped clients all around the entire DMV from Rockville, Downtown DC, Arlington, Reston and College Park. Morning, day, or night visits are no issue. I stick to the areas that you let me know is ok to access. I stay mindful and respectful of your home while focusing on your pet! I balance out the time for play and completing tasks, such as changing food/water.
About: Experienced with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Skilled in puppy training, basic obedience, trick training, and senior dog care, including medication support and mobility assistance. Comfortable with grooming tasks such as brushing, bathing, and coat maintenance. I focus on creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for every dog in my care. I am available for dog walking weekdays from 6 am to 2:30 pm. My weekend availability is all day for both Saturday and Sunday. As for pet sitting I am available as needed. I organize my day around the pets needs including feeding schedule, exercise & play schedule, and unique needs. Leashes are always used unless a closed area is available and allowed by the owner.
“Obuchi provided excellent care for our cat while we were away. Our normally timid kitty seemed to be very drawn to her. Obuchi went above and beyond to make Ginger feel safe and us to feel secure. I would highly recommend her and would book with her in the future.”
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.
About: Hi, I'm Ryan. I live in a house in Elkridge, MD with a large fenced backyard. I run a dog rescue and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs. I've had dogs from 3lbs to 150lbs. I currently have a 8ish year old mix that is very used to other dogs coming and going. He is a great playmate or nap buddy for other dogs. I have experience with giving medication to dogs and cats ranging from pills, eye cream, ear drops, liquid in the mouth, insulin shots and other injections. I am comfortable and experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I often work from home and am able to be with the dogs most of the day. Most days I am available to go on walks with your pup! I love all dogs and can't wait to meet yours! I require all dogs coming into my yard/home be on flea/tick preventative, up to date on rabies, distemper, bordetella and canine influenza. I work from home so your pet will rarely be alone. I am able to provide extra potty breaks or give extra attention if needed. I have a large grassy backyard with a 4 foot fence and one dog that is always down for a play buddy but will also happily nap on the couch. I have extra crates if ever needed.
About: I’m adaptable to the specific needs of any pet, whether it be diet, sleep, or their exercise routine. My schedule allows me to spend a lot of time with anxious pets or any who enjoy a lot of interaction, but I respect the boundaries of pets who enjoy their space. I’m currently available full-time. I was laid off this spring due to federal budget cuts and I now spend most of my time coding, reading, or writing. I follow the instructions given by the owner and reach out for clarification if needed. I make sure to take care of all checklist items before the end of the stay.
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: 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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Colesville
Liza was a lifesaver and accepted our request for a drop in visit with only a few days notice. She took great care of our cat. We appreciated the pictures she sent and it was obvious our cat, who is normally very scared around strangers, was very happy, relaxed and comfortable around her. Would definitely recommend!
Nichole took care of my two cats (and my plant) while I was gone for two days. One of my cats is anxious but he warmed up to her, much to my surprise (he usually hides when guests are over). She was also very gracious and accommodating when my itinerary changed at the last minute. I highly recommend her as a cat sitter and would work with her again.
Ashley did a great job caring for our cats! The first time she came over to meet our girls, she asked really thoughtful questions about them and their routine. This told me she really cared about what she was doing and our cats were in good hands. She did a great job taking care of our kitty that gets medicine, and was able to adapt when our girl wasn't being super cooperative. We always got lots of cute pictures, and great updates on their Rover cards that made us less homesick. I feel like I can look forward to more trips, knowing that Ashley did such a great job with our fur babies!
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!!!
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 :)
We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Elona! She took care of our senior cat for a week, and the level of attention and care she provided was truly above and beyond. She diligently administered his anxiety and arthritis medications, kept all four of his water bowls fresh daily, played with his favorite toy to keep him happy, and even took the time to talk to him so he never felt alone. Our cat can be a handful with his special needs, but Elona handled everything with ease and genuine love. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet like family!
I think I have already left a review, but leaving another!! I would give 6 stars if possible. Allie is great with my 3 cats and their 3 differing personalities, she is also very considerate and always happy to help if plans change or extra help is needed. Not to mention I'm pretty sure she could take on a full time career as pet photographer her pics are that good (but I dont suggest that because then I would lose her as a sitter and would be devastated haha).

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Colesville is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit.

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 .
