“Yet another great visit with Marlee! I cannot say enough good things about this website and the superior sitters on this site. I have been using Marlee for years and each time I leave home and trust Marlee I have no worries at at!!! Peace of mind is invaluable!!!”
“We are so very pleased with the Maggie as our pup sitter. She is very reliable , attentive and communicates well about the pet’s day . This was great for us because Maggie was the first sitter we hired for our fur baby- and the fun pics of our puppy enjoying his playtime are a bonus 🐶 10/10 would recommend!”
“Shirl is absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of our dogs while we were on vacation! Her love of animals was immediately evident when we met her and it was verified during our trip! She took amazing care of our dogs and our home! She sent diligent updates and pictures, followed all requests to the letter, and even brought in a package for us!! We now have our go to dog sitter!! You will not be disappointed!”
“Took good care of my baby boy while I had to be away, and he was immediately very comfortable with them, which made me feel good and less anxious about having to leave him home. I’ll definitely use Jenni’s services again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of many animals and give the best care I can while sharing pictures and updates to the owner. I can work with food motivated animals to do simple tricks. I am starting college shortly but I still will dedicate as much time as I can to taking care of animals. Breaks and days I don't have classes will be for anyone needing pet care! I have a car and can go to clients' houses and take care of their pets, as I have done often for friends and neighbors. I have a partially fenced yard for leashed play. I am in a house under construction but the top floor is finished and houses my two kittens. Calmer dogs would be better if coming into my house, otherwise I am able to care for any size or personality in the owners house.
“Erikah is an amazing sitter this is our second time that she has watched our pet for about a week both times. She treats our dog like her own, she responds quick and was even able to alter some of the times when we needed. We leave knowing she puts her best foot forward in caring for our pet with her fabulous communication, being prompltly on time, and her love for animals.”
“Julia was absolutely amazing! She was right on time, very flexible, super sweet, and treated my puppy, Fern, like her own! She and Fern became fast friends, and Fern was very sad to see Julia go. I’ll be booking with Julia again, no question about that!”
“My dog had lots of fun with Megan. She followed my instructions, and I felt my dog was in good hands. After we returned home, my girl was a bit confused, and sat looking at the door, I'm positive she was waiting for Megan!”
About: i have experience cat sitting as well dog sitting. I have my own dog who is now 15 years old that i take care of as well as take on walks! I live workin with all animals cats and dogs! I am a college student at the university of delaware. I usually have time in between classes to take walks for dogs or even stop in quick to let them out for the bathroom or for feedings! I have a spacious house and a pretty big back yard to walk the dog around for bathroom time as well as a nice walking areas around my neighborhood and we also have trails in the back of my house with a park that could be used for daily exercise if your animal needs to get their energy out!
“Love the photos! This was our first time using anyone for a pop in visit. This was totally last minute! Asked Paul and his fiance last night at 7pm to please help us, and without hesitation they came right over and met our boys. They did a pop in visit today and they were wonderful!!! Will definitely use them again :) They were great!!!! Thank you both so much !”
“Kelsie went above and beyond. In addition to following my instructions, showed up like clockwork, sent lots of photos, and when I returned home my cats were like "Oh, it's you." I couldn't have asked for more.”
“Brice did a fantastic job taking care of our Hazel! She was prompt. Made sure she was fully taken care of. Was very thorough with photos and reviews and overall we had a great experience. We would definitely book again!”
“Christine took wonderful care of my 3 cats and she kept me informed about their daily activities. These were drop-in visits to my home for 16 days while I was on vacation. Would definitely use her again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was incredibly reliable, always on time, and kept me updated with lots of messages and wonderful pictures throughout the week, which gave me so much peace of mind. One of my cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day, while my other needs heart medication applied to the inside of her ear. She handled both with confidence and care and treated my cats like they were her own. I came home to two happy, healthy cats and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you again for the excellent care you provided to my little guy, Kyrie! He loves having you here with him. And I love seeing the pictures of him. I never feel worried when I leave because I know he is being well cared for and is busy getting belly rubs!”
“Arrived promptly on schedule and spent quality time with our two dogs. Sent pictures each time. Will certainly use Lisa’s service again and would recommend her for those looking for a compassionate animal caregiver.”
About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.
“Tracey is great and our kitties were so happy! She was pleasant to work with, trustworthy and very thorough. Daisy especially loved all of the hairbrushing time! We are very thankful to have someone we can trust with our babies and will definitely ask Tracey to come back for more visits with Daisy and Rose!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elk Mills
Marlee has been my cat-sitter for four years now. I think it says everything that I was just able to go on vacation for 2 weeks with no concern over my cats' welfare, especially given that I'd be unreachable for days on end. Her updates and communication are consistently stellar, and over the years she has handled everything from cats needing to be separated at night to the introduction of a medical diet to needing an extension after a flight delay with understanding and aptitude. I have and will continue to recommended her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,074 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elk Mills. 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 Elk Mills. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
