“I am so grateful for Ela! My cat loves when she comes to visit, play with him, and spend time together. She intentionally built a relationship with him on the first visit and it shows, and he is a very discerning cat who won’t open up to just anyone! I appreciate Ela’s updates and pictures. She is great with feeding and cleaning the box too. It gives me so much peace of mind to know he is well cared for while I am away.”

Pet care is the heart of my daily routine — it’s not just something I do, it’s what I love. I’m a full-time pet sitter, so my schedule is centered entirely around the pets I care for. I plan my day based on walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and quality time with each pet in my care. Because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to give each animal consistent attention, whether it’s a long walk, a play session, or a quiet cuddle. I treat every pet like part of the family, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of love, attention, and play. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I follow each pet’s feeding, potty, and sleep routines to keep things familiar and stress-free. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure personalized care and comfort. In clients’ homes, I respect your space and care for your pet according to your exact instructions — feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, walks, and more. I take time to build trust with your pet and always provide updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. Policies Aggressive Behavior & Owner Responsibility Policy At Pawppy Place, the safety and well-being of all pets, staff, and property is our highest priority. In order to provide a safe environment, all pet owners must be transparent and fully honest about their pet’s behavior history, including any known aggression toward people, other animals, or property. 1. Behavior Disclosure • During the screening and intake process, you are required to disclose any history of biting, snapping, lunging, or other aggressive behavior, whether toward humans or other animals. • Failure to disclose known aggressive tendencies will be considered a breach of this agreement and may result in immediate termination of services without refund. 2. Aggression During Boarding • If a pet exhibits aggressive behavior while in our care, we will take immediate steps to ensure safety, which may include separation, the use of safety equipment, or early termination of the stay. • Aggressive behavior includes, but is not limited to, biting, attacking, excessive dominance, or property destruction. 3. Owner Financial Responsibility • The owner is fully responsible for any and all costs resulting from their pet’s aggressive actions, including: • Veterinary bills for injuries to other animals or staff • Medical expenses for humans injured • Repair or replacement costs for damaged property • All related invoices, photographs, and documentation will be provided, and payment is due within 5 business days of receipt. • If the incident involves another pet, the owner of the aggressive pet will be expected to cover the full cost of the veterinary care required for the injured pet. 4. Safety & Right to Refuse Service • Pawppy Place reserves the right to refuse service to any pet that displays aggressive behavior or presents a safety risk. • Pets with a known history of aggression toward people or other animals will not be accepted for boarding Late Pickup & Drop-off Policy 🐾 I kindly ask all clients to honor their scheduled pick-up and drop-off times. If you anticipate being late for ANY reason, please communicate with me.

About: I'm located off interstate 95 making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work. If you have small animals that need baby sitting my home is open to them and I have experience with a variety of small animals. I fit every animals needs and put them into my regular routine. I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.

About: My experience is as a dog walker at a shelter in Maryland. I have two dogs of my own, both rescues, and one of which is a recent amputee! Dog walking at the shelter and my own dogs I believe has given me ample experience. I work from home so my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to do a drop in visit or go for a walk when you need! I can easily take your pup for a walk, spend some time with them or let them out for a potty break while you are away!

About: Hello my names Addison and I’m 25 years old. For the last seven years I’ve been a senior caregiver until my client recently passed away. I’m looking to start pet sitting to fill my spare time. I’ve had dogs my whole life (small and large) and also have experience with cats. I even have experience working with reptiles and salt water aquariums. I currently reside in Northern Maryland on a corn farm with my two dogs. My husband works from home and can watch our dogs, so I can attend fully and give your animals full attention/if needed overnight. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I’m currently only pet sitting so your pet will have my full attention! Im also available for overnight stays if needed. I’m fully available on weekends as well. Pets under my watch will always get enough potty breaks and lots of love and attention. I know every pet is different and i try to mimic as close as I can to your pets routine you already have in place so you can be worry free on your vacation or trip!

“Michele did a wonderful job caring for Takoda! Was very quick to respond, and was able to help us on VERY short notice as our original sitter cancelled. Very kind and attentive to the pups needs, we forgot to put a water bowl in the room our dog was staying in, she asked if that was something he needed. Sent photo updates with each visit which helped us see Takoda was happy and comfortable hanging on the couch with her. He has some anxiety when it comes to other dogs, Michele did a great job of following our special instructions for him to make sure he stayed safe. Was kind enough to collect our mail for us as well, as I had a package delivered while we were gone. Very happy with her services, will definitely book again!”

About: Animals are the best No matter what kind of day you’re having they’re always there to greet you. I have dog sat for many people and have done walking service for many people as well. My friend of mine said that her dog was getting a mini vacation when she came to my house. It’s something I enjoy doing. I have a frenchie that means the world to me. We walk every night with my neighbor 2 labs and a golden their best of friends.I’m familiar with many breeds. In my spare time I volunteer at the shelter. I work full time. I’m off by 2.30 everyday and weekend so available to do mid afternoon to evening walks. So if your looking for mid day or early evening I have a frenchie name Zeus.! We walk every night with his friends. I go home on lunch breaks to let him out. He has wrinkles that I clean daily with a wipe and usually wipe his butt after he poops. . I’m the summer months we walk later because of his breed and I carry a water bottle. He’s my little shadow and spoiled rotten.

About: Hi! My name is Emily. I am 18 years old and a huge animal lover! Growing up in a busy household with four siblings, I’m very used to a high-energy environment and know exactly how to stay calm and organized when looking after pets. I love pet sitting because it’s a great way to give dogs and cats the individual attention they need while giving owners peace of mind. Some of my favorite things to do are coaching softball and going to church, so I’m naturally active and love being outdoors for dog walks—but I’m just as happy staying inside to keep a cat company. I currently work part-time, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my weekly routine. I am happy to help with feedings, exercise, litter boxes, and of course, plenty of belly rubs or chin scratches. I’d love to help look after your furry family members! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pets' needs. I am very organized with my weekly planning, so I can easily coordinate feedings, walks, and playtime around my softball coaching and other commitments. I’m happy to work with you to create a consistent routine that ensures your pet feels loved and well-attended while you are away. While I don't have a fenced yard, I am very diligent about keeping dogs securely leashed during all of our outdoor potty breaks and walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of supervised exercise and playtime while staying safe and comfortable in my care.

About: I specialize with big dogs and elderly dogs. I'm a taller guy with a longer walking stride so larger dogs can get more for workout. My schedule is daily throughout the whole day.

Tuesday -Thursday from 11am-3pm I am not available I currently have no pets right now at my home I do have a rather large backyard. At the parents home, I do make sure that the pets are well fed and hydrated before leaving unless otherwise told. Disclaimer: If there issues at the home during my time at your residence and not disclosed before booking such as but not limited to: proper running water, working AC/HEAT, controlled pest infestation, power outage, violent pet(s), unsanitary conditions, health concerns without proper insurance you will liable for the vet bill and transportation cost or all day 24 hour care with a pet(s) that can not be alone for 3-4 hours than will incur with an extra inconvenience charge of $100 or more and/or cancellation with the help of Rovers support team.

About: I am a mature and reliable pet sitter with a preference for cats but will also be happy to provide care for small dogs or other animals. I operate with a genuine love for all all animals and have a history of community service and donations to animal shelters and causes. I have been a cat owner for over 12 years and currently have one senior cat. When it comes to cat care, my extensive experience and commitment to feline companionship shine through. I specialize in socializing skittish cats, exercising larger cats, and soothing senior cats. I am detail-oriented, ensuring that your pets get the care and attention they are accustomed to, including medication management, grooming, and in-home care. I am proactive in communication and am also highly responsive, giving pet-owners piece of mind. But that's not all – my versatility extends to caring for dogs as well. I bring the same level of dedication and expertise to canine companions, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or adherence to dietary requirements, I'm well-equipped to provide comprehensive care for dogs of smaller sizes. With me as your trusted pet sitter, you can confidently leave both your cats and dogs in capable hands. Your pets' happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities, and I take pride in delivering exceptional care tailored to their individual needs, whether they're four-legged felines or canine companions. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate most requests with enough notice. While I can provide care for your pet in your own home, I am also available to host your pet in my home. I have a one-level home with hard wood floors (for easy cleanup) and pet-proof furniture. I do not let animals outside unattended so if you have a cat that likes to wander outside, I will not be comfortable allowing that

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a kid. I grew up with a tabby cat who was with the family for 16 years. I also have a small terrier mix named Jackson who I’ve raised since he was 8 weeks old—he’s 9 now! I also have my baby girl Nestle, who is a 2 year old aussiemo mix. She loves to play, cuddle, EAT, and go on long walks. She also loves to play with other animals and would welcome your pet with open paws! I currently work remotely, so I am home and available to care for your pet everyday. I take my own dog out every 2 hours for fresh air & a potty break. We also get some fun time in between that with the on-site dog park my apartment has. I have plenty of space in my house for pets to reside comfortably. I also have room to crate them if needed. There is a fenced in back yard where I live that will also be great for some fun running around and zoomies

About: I love cats and dogs! I have experience caring for rescue animals up for adoption at the shelter BARCS, walking dogs and caring for cats. I also have years of experience as a pet sitter for friends and family. I am a proud and devoted cat mother to an adorable cat named Mirchi. I also have experience administering medications to sick animals. I am a college art student (who is known to make animal themed ceramic mugs). I have a fairly flexible schedule and am excited to pet sit in the afternoons and evenings and on weekends. I also tend to have holiday availability. I know pets tend to be most comfortable in their own homes so I care for them in the spaces they are acclimated to. I am available to house sit including doing over night stays.

This is the first time I have used Rover.com for my two kitties. Had just moved here from out of state and had to find a new sitter. I was nervous about this new process and how my cats would react to a new sitter situation. When I met Katherine I was relieved that she had knowledge and background in cat behavior because after all, most cats are quirky. Our meeting went well and she proved to be very reliable and punctual. Her rate was was fair and reasonable. I was so happy to get pictures of my girls and their progress from Katherine from each visit. They were very well cared for and I’m happy all went well. Katherine did a great job and we will use her services again!

Fantastic sitter; highly, highly recommend!! Calailah was very kind to our two kitties even when Orion wasn’t very kind to her at first. Orion usually doesn’t like new people but he warmed up to Calailah in one day- the fastest he’s ever warmed up to someone! Will definitely be reaching back out next outing!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Edgewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Edgewood is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 October 2026, there are 1,966 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Edgewood. 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 Edgewood. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
