“I’m so grateful I found Melissa on Rover! My original sitter ended up going out of town, so I needed someone to take care of Iggy while I was away. She was incredibly helpful and made the whole process so easy, especially as someone who is new to Rover! She was amazing about sending pictures, videos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Iggy is normally super shy and loves to hide, but he was SO happy and welcoming with Melissa, which made me feel even better knowing he was in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter!”
“This was my second time working with Melissa and she was once again terrific. Able to help my cat with special needs deliver insulin shots, and I can tell by the pictures she sent that my cat (and a few outdoor feral friends of his) love her! She is great with animals and very professional and conscientious. She is my go-to!”
About: Hi! I’m Gianna, and I have over 5 years of experience in pet care as a veterinary technician, working closely with both dogs and cats. I’m skilled in administering vaccines and medications, monitoring pets’ health, and providing client education to ensure pets thrive. I also have my own dog, so I understand firsthand the love and care our furry friends need. I’d love to help keep your pets happy, safe, and well-cared-for! I currently serve in the United States Army National Guard, and I have pretty much open availability outside of my drills one weekend a month. I'm willing to travel up to 50 miles outside of Oxon Hill, MD and I’m happy to accommodate walks, visits, and care whenever your pets need me! When I care for your pet in your home, I’ll treat them like my own. I provide love, attention, and supervision while following your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, giving medication, or playtime. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Kriss was amazing with my 12 year old feline, Catalina, She was well cared for while I was away on a business trip I highly recommend using Kriss again for drop in visits.”
“Sara was awesome! She was able to accept a short notice sitting and connected with Silver (my cat) immediately. We appreciated her communication and photos each time and even let us know when she was running late or needed to shift a visit time. I'm sure Silver would absolutely love to have you watch him again!”
“Sherry was a wonderful sitter for my two kitties! She was very kind and interactive with my cats- a true animal lover! I am a crazy, over-the-top cat mama and felt so comfortable leaving my spoiled, very playful girls in her care. She followed their care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond in staying longer to play with them and sending tons of great pictures! They both looked so comfortable, happy, and playful and I am so grateful! I will reach out to Sherry anytime I need a sitter. Thank you so much!”
About: I always loved pets growing up and would cat sit for friends nearby. I was living with my sister when we got a German Shephard puppy. I lived with her until she was 2.5 years old. So I have a lot of experience with high- energy intelligent dogs. I know quite a bit of training but don’t have any formal certifications. Love visiting with her and friends pets as well,❤️ Thank you for considering me! I am working full time (M-F 9-5) but am a morning person so I'm happy to stop by before work or in the evening. My weekends are also open. I will care for your home and pets like my own and leave it better than I found it. I also am excited to find new parks or trails to walk depending on what is near your home.
“Y’all, Kristal is the BEST. I messed up my dates and ended up out of town without a sitter. She showed up within 4 hours and saved me. She sent loads of pictures to ease my mind and was kind and playful with my kitty. It’s worth everything to know your pet is safe and happy and Kristal made that happen”
“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!”
“Julia was able to watch my dog Whiskey at the last minute. He can be anxious around new people and in a new situation, but Julia was able to take care of everything and he had a great time.”
“Natalie was outstanding in her visits of my two cats. She is very reliable and efficient and really cares about the work she does. She went over and above what I asked her to do and was so attentive to them and kept me so well informed everyday at every visit with videos and pictures and details. I would hire her again and again and again!”
About: About Me / Pet Care Experience I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I’m comfortable providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, litter box care, basic medication administration, and maintaining a pet’s normal routine. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is doing well. I have experience caring for pets and understand how important consistency, patience, and following an owner's instructions are. I take pet care seriously and always make their safety and well-being my priority. I currently have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m especially happy to discuss each pet’s individual routine, including how much exercise, playtime, companionship, or quiet time they need. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I'm available for drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, litter box cleaning, and lots of love and attention while you're away. I've cared for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and birds, and I treat every pet like family. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, keep pets safe and comfortable, maintain clean food and litter areas, and provide plenty of affection, playtime, and updates with photos so you have peace of mind.
About: I have administered medication both orally and nasally to both cats and dogs in my time as a pet owner taking care of middle-aged and older furry family members. I work full-time with stable income, in hybrid status. I am in-office Monday through Thursday currently from 7:30am to 3:30pm. I work remotely on Fridays. I like to spend my time with animals as I grew up in New York City and South Florida with 3 dogs and 1 cat.
About: I've had a lot of experience with pets as most of my friends and family have pets. I’ve had a few of my own with my immediate family. I mostly have experience with dogs, though a majority of latest jobs have been with cats. I recently cared for Bruno (Siberian cat) and Bryce (Australian Shepard). My close friends have 3 dogs of different sizes: Dido (small-sized), Lucy (medium-sized), and Linus (large-sized). One of them requires medication, so I have a bit of experience with medication administration. I like to have a schedule and any preferences for any pet. I enjoy taking dogs out at least twice a day for fun and multiple times for bathroom trips (depending on how often you prefer). I care for your pet as they are my own and would love the chance to care for your furry family member! I mainly take extra jobs on weekends but am open to mornings and nights. I work around my schedule by tailoring the sit to meet both of our needs. I always get a detailed list of things pets need, care routine, and feeding/walking schedule. It’s important to keep their normal routine, so their comfortable and relaxed about the change in care (and a new human!)
“Definitely an excellent sister for my kitties. Vivi took great care of our two kitties they were happy to have her around. She was caring, professional, and give as the peace we needed while we were gone. Thank you again Viví.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Heights
Caitlyn stopped in every day to check on Harper while we were on a long trip, following my long list of written instructions perfectly. I felt much less guilty about leaving knowing she was well cared for. Her dishes were kept clean, she got play sessions and clean water, and she got lots of attention.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Forest Heights is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $29 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 of November 2026, there are 2,301 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Forest Heights. 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.

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.
