“Natalie was great with my three cats. She took the job last minute when someone else cancelled right before I was leaving town. She was very communicative, including pictures. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hi, I’m José! I recently graduated from Rutgers University and moved to the DMV area to pursue a career in public service. I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to keep your pet safe and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication instructions, or simply keeping them company. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable with me. I’d be happy to be your pet’s new best friend while you’re away! I currently work a 9-to-5 schedule about four days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pet. I’m available for boarding on weekends, as well as select weekdays with advance notice. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom routines, and any other preferences their pet may have.
“Kayli is not only an incredibly kind human, she is more thorough than I’ve experienced asking so many different questions upfront so she can provide the best experience to (in my case) the boys as possible. Despite dealing with old home mayhem, she persisted and managed to give my boys an Auntie experience. They weren’t even waiting for me at the door when I got home which… stung but tells me they had so much fun with Kayli.”
“Savannah did a great job with my kittens. She took the time to play with them and they really enjoyed her check-ins. I would definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“I (and my cat) enjoyed working with Tandy. Tandy is very communicative, attentive, and clearly expressed a joy, care, and sensitivity working with animals. Though Rover, Tandy minded my cat and fish every other day over the course of two weeks. Tandy’s Reports were detailed and this is something I further appreciated: she wasn’t afraid to ask questions.”
“Delina was amazing and so thoughtful with Kitty. She's an amazing cat photographer and now I have usable pictures of my cat! As an elder cat with medical needs, Delina was careful and delivered Kitty's daily insulin medication and even prepped a new syringe because I miscounted the days. Thank you for an amzing job and the incredible bond you built with Kitty these past 2 weeks. Delina's communication was on point and consistent. If she is willing, I'd ask Delina to be my rover in the future!”
“Heather did a wonderful job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She showed up on time, spent time playing with her, and made sure she was properly fed and taken care of. I also appreciated her thoughtful updates and photos!”
About: I have had 2 dogs and grew up taking care of both my own pets and friends pets. I am attentive to details and love helping my animal friends. I do not accept boarding rq right now. I can house sit: take care of an animal and your house while you are away: I.e if your dog/cat really needs attention and/or someone to stay with them and get some chores around the house finished. I work part time so I have plenty of time to stop by and help as well as to walk at times that fit into others schedules I am very attentive to details and love to follow systems. if you let me know requirements for pets whether that be medicine, allergies, or other situations I am very good at remembering and adhering to guidelines.
About: Im a DC based management consultant with a soft spot for “furry baes”! I’m an experienced pet owner looking to help out my neighbors. You can count on me to be affectionate, trustworthy, and professional. When I’m not working or pet sitting, you can find me at a gallery opening, a new restaurant, at the local movie house, or spending time with my cat Javier. I fostered a dog this summer, and although I loved her dearly, I found her a fantastic home and taught her a few tricks! I love animals of all kinds, and they love me back! Contact me to schedule a visit. I’d love to meet your furry family member! I was unfortunately laid off last year from my consulting career. But that’s ok! I now have more time to connect with nature, decompress, and nurture my inner animal lover! I believe the best sitters and walkers enter your home with good energy, as animals often recognize when a human is well intentioned. I know how to approach pets, and most importantly, wait for them to approach me.
“Abigail was very attentive to the care note we left and provided a brief but descriptive summary of the check ins. We felt very comfortable having her take care of our kitties!”
“Ehuniz was a wonderful sitter for our cats. We reached out at the last minute to request daily check ins during a two week trip and Ehuniz was able to accommodate us. We received daily updates and pictures. In the past we had issues with sitters who wouldn’t clean the litter boxes and the house would be a mess upon our return. This was not the case here; Ehuniz kept the house spotless! Could not have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be asking Ehuniz to take care of our pets again.”
“As opposed to how freaked out my cats typically are upon my return, they were never in better spirits! Emma went the extra mile to cope during a snowstorm, and I was extremely pleased overall. I will definitely try to book her again the next time I travel”
“Mikela was very personable and very communicative when we did our virtual meet and greet. Our kitty is very old and needed some extra care and she was very understanding and helpful about it. We were away with no service except for emergencies/ rare service spots so when we were able to check in she was very fast with responding and giving us updates. We super appreciated her and her attention to detail and how well our little old lady was cared for. We would absolutely book her again. Thank you Mikela!”
About: I’m very dedicated to learning pet breed personalities and learning about your unique furry friend through intuitive care and patience. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking, with activities tailored to each pet’s personality, age, and needs. Walks can include plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore, while drop-ins and sitting visits can include playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m currently working part-time. My schedule allows for flexibility with my time, which will be dedicated to any and all pet care needs. I have a safe smoke-free space where your pet can help themselves to run, play, and rest on a nice soft bed. A home away from home. I can’t wait to meet them!
“Callen was able to accommodate a bit of a last minute trip - we truly appreciate her flexibility! She did a great job and our kitties were happy and well cared for while we were out of town.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and watched after dogs almost all of my life. From my god mother's Rottweiler, Sisters Black Lab, my best friends Boston terriers a labradodle. Your pup will be in great hands with me. I work from home so I have no issue with being in the house with your dog. My community is very pet friendly with not 1 but 2 dog parks that allows for exercise and fresh air. I work full time from home, and have a very flexible schedule. Usually while watching pets for friends I'll go for a morning walk for bathroom needs, around lunch we'll take another quick walk and game of fetch and one more walk in the evening before the sun goes down. I care for pets depending on what you as the owner recommend. For my dog nephew, we only feed him at 4pm (put food in the bowl) so that in the mornings and nights when we take him out to do his business he's good to go. I like to have a toy or bone around for them to chew on while I work, but once we go out side I make sure we're getting some fresh air for at least 30minutes to an hour.
“Booked Lilla for cat care while I was away for the week and she went above and beyond to give my kitty the special attention he needed. She also provided detailed reports during her visits so I knew he was doing well!”
“While I didn’t actually get to meet Edmond and Nafis, they were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were also accommodating when my trip got unexpectedly extended. I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Fairmount Heights is $22
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fairmount Heights
I had a wonderful experience with Nicole! She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and caring throughout the entire time she looked after my cats. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and treated them with so much compassion and patience. Knowing they were in such caring hands gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
Carinna was amazing! She was very reliable and communicative. She went above and beyond as a caregiver for our 20+ year old cat, including delivering treats when he couldn't be bothered to use the stairs. Her time here really made for a worry-free vacation, I would definitely recommend her!
Ehuniz was a wonderful sitter for our cats. We reached out at the last minute to request daily check ins during a two week trip and Ehuniz was able to accommodate us. We received daily updates and pictures. In the past we had issues with sitters who wouldn’t clean the litter boxes and the house would be a mess upon our return. This was not the case here; Ehuniz kept the house spotless! Could not have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be asking Ehuniz to take care of our pets again.
Mickela was great with my cats, and we have a lot of cats. She was able to make each of my cats feel safe and cared for while I was gone on a very long work trip. Normally I come home to a house with some kitty messes due to stress and this time I came home to a clean and happy house where I could just hop right back into our normal routine. I have already booked Mickela for my next work trip and she will 100% be my regular sitter. I highly recommend!. She was able to give my cats their medicine, handle a pretty hectic feeding time, and keep everyone happy and stress free. If you want someone to love your cat like their own Mickela is your person!
Reetchel is the best in the game. She is reliable, trustworthy and has saved me when I faced a difficult travel situation and had to come back home later. You can be sure that she will take care of your pets like her own. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Reetchel!

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.

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 .

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 .
