Erin was fantastic! She was communicative and took great care of our cats while we were away. We have one very high energy cat and one very shy cat and she was great with both - she was even able to pet the shy cat a few times! She went out of her way to make the process easy, met the cats in advance to learn their routine, followed instructions exactly, and sent tons of pictures while we were away. We will definitely reach out to Erin when we need pet sitting and recommend her highly!

Hilary was AWESOME. I would highly recommend her, reason being ... her thoughtfulness. Just before my sit started she informed me of something that could change my mind, instead of canceling I keep the booking and I'm glad I did. She came on time even though she could've came anytime that day, she played with Felix, fed him, kept me up to date on his antics (he's a bengal so he's full of them), she left the light on for him and the tv on cat tv so he wouldn't get bored. I would definitely book her again. Thanks Hilary.

Skyler has been an absolute blessing to our family! Not only does she take great care of our pup, but she also aids us in his training while we are away. She is very knowledgeable about animals, and she has a huge heart. She has also been very patient as our dog is just a few months old! She keeps us in the loop too :)

About: Dog owner in the DMV with experience walking friends', families' and neighbors' dogs, providing top notch care. Experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I work from home 4 days a week and depending on my meeting schedule am available for mid-day short walks or drop-ins. Always happy to discuss timing that works for everyone. I abide by the instructions set by the client, but place a premium on pet safety. Pets will not be forced into harnesses until they feel comfortable with me, I take care to make sure no pets escape, and that I leave every home as I found it.

Katarina is amazing , tentative, and everything Sevyn needs. I can’t express how much I value her time, consistency, trust and thoughtfulness weekly. She has been providing excellent care for Sevyn since she was 8 weeks. Here we are now 7-months and Katarina has never disappointed, flexible, accommodating, and exudes care. Sevyn is always, smiling in her pictures with Katarina. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter.

Erin has been absolutely amazing with my puppy, Sienna! She genuinely loves and cares for her as if she were her own, and that gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work. She always provides thoughtful updates with photos and pays close attention to the little things. That level of attentiveness means so much to me. Erin also goes above and beyond by reinforcing Sienna’s training and routines during her visits, which has been incredibly helpful as we’re working on potty training and building good habits. She is reliable, compassionate, and truly invested in my puppy’s wellbeing. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.

About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. From ages 10 to 18, I lived in a home with multiple pets, including dogs, cats, and birds of all ages. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, and providing daily care to ensure they were happy and healthy. Today, I have my own dog, Loki, who has been part of my family for the past three years. I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same compassion, patience, and love that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, caring, and dependable experience so you can have peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care. I'm available weekdays from 9 AM–9 PM and weekends from 10 AM–8 PM. Since I have a dog at home, I provide attentive care in your pet's familiar environment. I provide respectful, loving care in your pet's familiar environment, following their routine and treating them with the same attention and compassion I give my own dog. I am very comfortable with taking them on walks within your residential area.

About: Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets as both an owner and sitter. I’ve worked with dogs and cats. Along the way, I’ve developed special skills like administering medications, handling pets with specific dietary requirements, and providing comfort to those with anxiety or medical conditions. Whether it’s a playful walk, quiet cuddle, or ensuring they stick to their routine, I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel happy, healthy, and well cared for! As a newly separated veteran preparing to start school, I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule to dedicate to caring for pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their routines and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide personalized attention, including feeding, walking, administering medications if needed, and plenty of playtime and affection. I also keep the home tidy and secure, treating it with the same care and respect as I do the pets.

Emad has been wonderful with my kitties Boo & Mystique. He paid careful attention to all the instructions we left, and followed up with questions to clarify- I appreciate Emad’s upbeat attitude, which came thru in his daily updates. I knew the kitties were well cared for, and both they - and my apartment - were in excellent spirits when I returned

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in College Park on Rover is $21.71 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 7,450 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across College Park. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in College Park. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
