“It's our third time with Erica and my cat loves her!! She is very accommodating and understanding of anxious pet parents, and provided reliable care for my cat and responded to my check-ins. My cat appears not stressed at all upon my return after a whole week, which is such a wonderful surprise!!”
“Izcali took great care of our fur baby! We felt at peace knowing that our cat enjoyed her company and got play time while we were away. Great communication and super kind. Thank you so much!”
About: Hello! I am a PhD student at UMD studying black bear ecology. I have been an animal lover since I could talk. I own a German shepherd but I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve watched many animals throughout the years for colleagues and friends. I’m new to rover sitting but I am reliable, will be very communicative, and provide the best care to your furry friend. I am a full time student, but I have very flexible hours. I’m open any time on the weekends, as long as I have a few days notice. I can be flexible to your needs! I’ll send you photos, updates on when I am coming and going, follow any rule you have etc. I will care for your animal like my own.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by pets! Unfortunately, my son is allergic to pet dander, so having furry friends of our own isn’t an option right now. That’s where your kitty comes in! 🐱💕 I’d love the opportunity to live vicariously through your fur babies, giving them all the love, attention, and care I would give my own. Whether it’s feeding time, playtime, or just keeping your kitty company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I work full-time during the week, but my evenings and weekends are perfect for spending quality time with your furry family members! 🐱💕 I’m available for cat drop-in visits after 5:30 PM on weekdays and have more flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays. Whether your kitty needs dinner, playtime, or just a little extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help! Your kitty’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! 🐾💕 I’ll always treat your home with respect and follow your care instructions carefully. During each visit, I’ll make sure your kitty has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of love and attention at their own comfort level. I’ll also send pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in caring hands!
“Iris did a great job looking after my cat over the holidays! I really appreciated how Iris left me super detailed reports and tons of cute pictures during the daily check-ins, and was a great communicator. I also appreciated the flexibility when I was scheduling our initial call. I would absolutely ask Iris to catsit again and would recommend anyone to book as well!”
“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.”
“Lilla did an amazing job taking care of my cats. she sent lots of photos and detailed visit summaries, and even replaced my feeder ball that had broken while I was out of town. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and some of my neighbors too. I have plenty of experience with animals. I also work at an ER animal hospital. I care for every pet as they were my own. I do work full time and a student as well. My schedule changes but I do have weeks where I am flexible. I set time aside for those in need! . I have my own three dogs, so unfortunately I cannot take care of pets in my own house. But I am more than willing to care for pets in their own environments!
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.
“Alexandra was great for our stop-in visits with the catboys while we were out of the country. She communicated well and took great care of them. Will reach out to her again in the future when we are out of town.”
“Hayden was an amazing, attentive, and kind catsitter for my kitten :) I had to be away for a full week and needed help with my ~9week old kitten Comet. Hayden followed all of my care instructions perfectly, and adapted on the fly when I requested adjustments I didn't initially mention. She was also very proactive in flagging any concerns she found during the visit, which showed me that she really cared for Comet, it wasn't just a job to her :) Finally, she had no problem keeping up with how feisty and energetic Comet was - if she could handle Comet, she can probably handle any cat LOL! Would definitely recommend her care to anyone! Thank you so much Hayden!”
About: As an experienced pet sitter and cat owner, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. By having my own pet I understand the need for patience, attention to detail, and maintaining routines. I provide compassionate care tailored to each pets needs and personality, treating every animal as if they were part of my own family. Im am currently working part time and at most work three times a week. This allows me to have a lot of availability to care for your animals! I care for pets in clients homes by following their normal routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I also give regular updates to owners and make sure the pets get plenty of love when their owners are away.
“Matthew was prompt, professional, and really friendly; our normally reclusive cats quickly warmed up to him! Will definitely be contacting him for future sitting needs 😊”
About: I provide reliable dog care including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and medication if needed. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult, and senior dogs while following each pet’s routine. I use patience and positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, and my flexible part-time schedule allows me to give every dog personalized attention and dependable care. My part-time schedule allows me to provide flexible, attentive care for pets while giving them the patience. I focus on trust, patience, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent while they’re in my care. I have a safe and comfortable space for pets when they are in my care, and when caring for pets in their own home, I am respectful of their space and routines.
“Landy is not only a wonderful person but you can tell she loves animals. My cat can be very stand fish to new people and immediately fell in love with Landy after the first visit. She also was very accommodating with my needs of pick up and drop off of my keys, just a wonderful wonderful sitter!”
“Steve did a phenomenal job watching my boys! I let him know that I was nervous leaving them for so long, and he made sure to spend time with them to get them acclimated. The updates I received were always a fun read, and a few had me laughing. Pretty sure G Money and Jonah accepted him as their third bro.”
About: Since 18 years old, I have taken care of all types of pets. Dogs ranging from big Huskies to little Yorkies. I enjoy watching and training animals to reach their full potential. I am available during the week and on weekends, if needed. This way I am available for short or long term bookings, whatever you require. For boarding at my house- I have a fenced yard and no pets. I would care for your pet like I would my own, providing attention and affection.
About: Animals of all shapes and sizes have always been part of my life. Growing up, I had two lovely cats and volunteered regularly at a horse rescue sanctuary. After college, I worked for the Humane Society, where I looked after dogs and horses with varying levels of care needs. I regularly dog-sit for an Australian cattle dog, and I'm honored to be one of only a few people with whom she agrees to go for walks. I also regularly pet-sit for a household with two dogs and two cats. I am experienced in accommodating specialized feeding and medication protocols for puppies, senior dogs, and all ages in between, as well as for adult cats. I'm skilled at understanding animal body language and behavioral cues. I care deeply about my relationships with animals, and I do my best to ensure that every pet feels safe, respected, and loved. I have a good amount of flexibility in my schedule. I am typically available before 9 AM and between 2 PM and 7 PM. I am also available for overnight home stays. Maintaining safety and establishing trust (of both the pet and the humans) are priorities for me when I care for pets in a client's home. I am always aware that I am a guest in their home, and I keep the space clean and secure. I avoid moving things or changing established routines. I do my best to maintain the pet's sense of normalcy and comfort while their people are away.
About: Through previous and most recent positions, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments through pet sitting and dog walking. My responsibilities included feeding, administering basic medications, maintaining exercise schedules, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and providing companionship and enrichment. While I work full-time, I’m available for evening care after 6 PM depending on location, along with flexible availability on my days off for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I provide reliable in-home pet care by maintaining pets’ routines, ensuring they’re fed, exercised, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
Emma was punctual, communicative, and wonderful with my three cats. She cleaned the litter and ensured that everything was completed according to the instructions I gave her. My cats were all happy to get their treats and sat on her lap while she was there. I would not hesitate to use her services again!
We had a great experience with Jane! She was reliable, attentive, and took wonderful care of our Buddy cat. I especially appreciated that she made sure she actually saw our cat before leaving each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure everything was okay. We felt very comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Carinna was amazing! She was very reliable and communicative. She went above and beyond as a caregiver for our 20+ year old cat, including delivering treats when he couldn't be bothered to use the stairs. Her time here really made for a worry-free vacation, I would definitely recommend her!
Bryanna was wonderful with our furry crew! She took such great care of everyone and even our shyest kitties opened up to her! I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for conscientious and loving care for your pets. She was timely and communicated well with us the entire time.
Iris is an excellent cat sitter. We have a timid cat, who waited at the door for her visits. Our cat was eager to continue her routine of being fed and hanging out playing with a laser. Iris kept her cat bowls clean and the cat litter box was kept in good order. We highly recommend her for cat care and I’m sure her dog care is equally good.
Kaylynn has watched our Buddy cat many times now, and she is always wonderful! She’s incredibly reliable, attentive, and someone we completely trust to take great care of our cat while we’re away. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our cat is in good hands, and we always come home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can count on time and time again. Highly recommend!
