“Brenna took really good care of my two kitties. She sent great photos of them so I could see they were happy. She even dealt with all the upset tummies from the new food they were trying. I would highly recommend her for your next sitter!”

“Ann was an incredible pet sitter. She was well-organized, always kept us informed about our cat's status, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure our cat had a positive experience. If I ever need a pet sitter, I will definitely go with Ann again, and I could not recommend her more.”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND: MUST BOOK HER!! Alice did an absolutely outstanding job!!! I have a dog (Cooper) and a cat (Mochi), Alice took her time ensuring each of them was taken care of. She played with cooper, let him outside, walked him around the block and kept him healthy throughout my time away. She even got to play with Mochi, which is CRAZY, because Mochi is super shy and never plays with anyone! She just has a way with animals! I cannot recommend her enough; she will follow all your instructions then go above and beyond to meet every need of your family. The gentleness, kindness, and love she treated Cooper and Mochi with was exceptional. 10/10 will be using her for every single booking going forward. Thank you, Alice!”

About: With having my own dog and cat, I've worked hard to create harmony in my own home, even while adding in foster dogs to the mix for about a year during covid when I was home all the time. I've done 18 months of dog training with my dog, so I've learned how to manage stressful situations and socialization skills. I take pet care extremely seriously and would care for someone else's fur babies as much as I do my own. I hope you consider me to care for and love on your pet! I work a full-time job, mostly from home currently, but my dog gets walked 3-4x a day, and both of my animals get fed 2x/day. They sleep with me in my bed, snuggled up with me all night. We all hang out together when I'm off of work, and they both know to sit for treats. :) I have a 36" crate and would likely crate a visitor dog for safety when I'm not home. I have a small apartment, so I would need to ensure your pets get along with mine prior to boarding. Otherwise, your pet will be welcomed and encouraged to spend time with my pets and I at all times. ❤️ I don't have a yard, so all walks will be on-leash, except for the off-leash area my neighborhood has - I would only let your pup offleash here if we are alone, though. I would also be very careful with any socialization, steering clear of other dogs, unless we are in your neighborhood and you give me clear instructions on who to socialize with.

She was an excellent communicator and even took my cat to the vet when she had a medical issue and made a journal to help me monitor my cat’s symptoms from afar. She is very detail oriented and showed a great level of care towards my cats!”

About: I lived with and took care of my sisters 2 dogs (1 husky puppy and 1 adult husky/german mix). I then moved to Austin and wanted to continue having dogs in my life, so started up a Rover account! I continued sitting through Rover during my two years as a Masters Student at Georgetown, and am glad to be able to continue sitting after graduating! I just graduated from my Masters program, so am very available as I continue to job hunt! My weekends are very busy due to weddings out-of-state, but during the weekdays I am available! Before confirming on a booking I go through an extensive list of questions regarding anything from leash reactiveness and appropriate ways to approach your dog, to walk routes that are familiar and comfortable for your dog. I always want to ensure my sitting periods are as stress-free and “normal” as I can make them.

Kaylie is phenomenal! While I was out of town, it became evident my two cats were in careful and loving hands. My only worry was that they would begin to love Kaylie more than me! Happily, they were excited to have me back again, so no issues there. In sum, I trust Kaylie implicitly. She stayed in contact with me and sent snapshots every day. Moreover, my cats clearly took to her in my absence.

Bre was an outstanding caretaker for our cats while we were away for ten days and. She was thoughtful and patient with my shyest cat, managing to get her to open up a bit for some brushing and play time after a few days of being distant. My youngest cat had plenty of affection and playtime from his new bff as well. Bre is great, and we will book with her again in the future.

Yulia was so wonderful for watching our boys while we were on vacation! She provided detailed updates with each visit and adorable photos. Our boys loved her! Since both have urinary tract disease, it was very important to us that we have regular communication and someone who would be willing to look for the more subtle signs of distress. I felt so comfortable with Yulia and would trust her to take care of the boys if anything were to happen.

Great communication, kind to people and pets. We had to last minute change our trip dates due to a pet injury. Scotty was still able to accommodate us and took great care of our injured dog and two cats.

Overall the best person I've found to watch my three cats so far! Very reliable and considerate with the times we agree on prior. Additionally, Debra has gone out of her way to make extra visits that were not requested simply because she was already nearby. Clearly loves animals. Very thankful for her help and fully recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their cats.

Alissa has done cat sitting for me before and as always I’m very happy with her. She is very professional in her work but also very good with my cats. It is very comforting to know they are in good hands while I’m away. I expect I will book with her again when I need to travel out of town.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - College Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in College Park is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,283 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 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.

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

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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 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.
