“Cats are safe, sound, and very happy! Brianne was responsive, punctual, and awesome with our three cats. They have never taken to someone the way they took to Brianne- she did amazing with them. 5 stars!”
“If you're looking for someone who truly cares, Jessica is the one! She’s incredibly responsive and has such a gentle, loving touch with our elderly dog. I trust her completely and will definitely keep booking her services. She’s reliable, punctual, and always goes above and beyond. If you want peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands, you won’t regret choosing Jessica. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our sweet pup!”
“Heather is our go-to cat sitter for a reason. She treats our kitties like she would treat her own and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable! The constant communication and photo updates leave us rest assured during our time away from home. We will always go back to Heather!”
“This was my first time hiring a sitter, and Anna came through with flying colors! She came right on time, took extra care with my diabetic kitty, and kept me up to date. I'm so grateful!”
“This is our second time booking Cathy to look after our two senior cats. The fact that our very shy boy came out to greet her on the pre-trip visit was proof that we made the right choice. Cathy administered twice daily medications, navigated litter robot issues with ease, and allowed our two boys to remain in their home…which I know is comforting to them. I am grateful for Cathy for providing TLC to our sweet boys and allowing us to relax during our time away from home.”
“Jenna is a superstar! She has been caring for our dog who absolutely adores her. Jenna is loving and sweet, she plays with our dog, and she sends us terrific pictures. By the way, I think she can start a pet photography business, because each photo is amazing. I completely trust Jenna with our fur baby, and we have 100% peace of mind that she is dropping in and giving dog love, fresh air, a bio break, and exercise. We feel so fortunate to work with Jenna!”
“Andrew was great! This way my first time using Rover and I was so nervous about leaving my cat. He made me feel comfortable leaving her in his hands and she loved him (she typically hides when she isn’t sure of someone).”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.
“Dymond was amazing! She accepted our request at the last minute and really helped us out with our dog. She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. In the past when we’ve left our dog with a sitter she’d act nervous and scared when we returned home. This time with Dymond though, our dog was happy and calm when we came back. We can tell she got a lot of exercise and had fun! We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others for your pet sitting needs!”
“Ildiko was amazing! I went away for a week and she came by to check on my cat Juju. Juju usually hides from strangers but Ildiko was very patient and eventually got lots of affection from Juju! I will definitely try to use Ildiko again in the future!!”
“We highly recommend Xin’s cat care service. She did an awesome job playing with our cat and making sure his litter box was clean and cat fed for 5 days while we were away. She also sent a lot of cute pictures of the cat playing and when she fed him. I am planning to use her services again soon.”
“I am consistently impressed with Don’s attentiveness and excellent communication when caring for my two cats! I am a repeat customer of Don’s and will continue to hire him. I am often out of town for long stretches of time for work and I always come home to two happy, well cared for cats. Don always makes note of my cats’ behavior, as well as general care he performed. It’s a comfort knowing that Don is giving thorough attention to detail when I’m away.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing! She was really easy to communicate with, she gave us detailed updates on each visit. She was extremely caring and loving towards our kittens. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was taking care of them. Amy even brought in the mail and packages that were delivered. We plan on using Amy for any future trips.”
“I highly recommend Ivan as someone who will take great care of your pet. He has been doing a great job looking after my dog (1h drop in visits daily). There was a recent minor medical emergency and he handled it extremely well. He is thoughtful and conscientious of the pet’s individual needs. Very grateful to have him!”
“Britney is absolutely wonderful she walked my dog many times and he was always very happy to see her she talked to him and greeted him with a gentle smile he always looks forward sure coming over Britney also took wonderful care of my cats getting them to eat even though they they they didn't want to because they were upset I was gone I hardly recommend her she is prompt and reliable an extremely trustworthy”
About: I’ve had at least 1 dog in the house since 2016, I love taking care of pets and being present with them. I love their unconditional love and would love to help as many as possible!🙏🏾 I’m currently a student at Stonehill College and we have scheduled breaks. For now, when I am home on breaks, my schedule is wide open. I have a pretty consistent unofficial routine of going on runs, lifting weights, and hanging out with my girlfriend Personally, I have one dog at home and when I get back I love to take him on long walks. I also just have a mental clock of refilling his food and water. Every other week or so we get him showered and cleaned up. I’ve also helped take care of other peoples pets stopping by and taking them on walks.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Derwood
Rachel took amazing care of our cat, Blue, while we were away. She followed all of our feeding instructions, spent time playing with her, and sent regular updates and pictures that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Blue and made sure she was happy and well cared for. We are so grateful to have found Rachel and will absolutely continue using her services in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!
Kate accepted our last minute request to drop by to check on our cat while we were out. Our cat is elderly, shy and not very friendly, but Kate managed to get her out of her shell and play/pet her. She sent many pictures and details about how she was doing and it was great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well fed and well taken care of kitty. Thanks Kate! Happy to recommend if you need her to take care of your kitty.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Derwood on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 .

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 Derwood. 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.
