“Erica did a fantastic job watching our cat while we were away. She gave daily updates, lots of pictures, and we are already trying to book her for our next vacation. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso for 14 years and became her primary caretaker during her senior years, giving me firsthand experience caring for an older pup and adapting to her changing needs. I’ve also fostered both dogs and cats, including a Schnauzer/Poodle mix and a young cat with medical needs. While fostering, I’ve administered medication, supported recovery, and adapted enrichment activities to keep pets comfortable and engaged throughout different stages of healing. I also have volunteer experience caring for cats and understand the importance of reading an animal’s body language and respecting their boundaries. I’m happy to give an outgoing pet plenty of attention and affection, but I’m equally comfortable giving a shy or cautious pet the space and patience they need to feel safe around me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, as well as cats, puppies, and senior pets. Above all, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine as much as possible, including their normal feeding, potty, walking, playtime, and medication schedules. I want pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own space, so I follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s established routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to body language, respect boundaries, and never force interaction with a pet who needs some space or time to warm up. I’ll keep their environment clean and tidy, make sure they have fresh food and water as instructed, and provide walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or quiet company based on what they enjoy. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed.
“Fantastic cat sitter. Our friendly cat was obsessed and Leah even managed to make friends with our shy cat, so nobody was even slightly grumpy we had been gone for 9 days.”
About: Hi, I'm Michael, a dependable pet lover in the Pasadena, MD area. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and every visit includes fresh water, feeding on your schedule, potty breaks, playtime, and a quick photo update so you know how your pet is doing. I have been a pet owner ever since 1995 and am comfortable with all sizes and types. I'm careful and patient and treat every pet like family. I'm available during the week and most hours and I live close by, so I can be flexible for last-minute visits. I have reliable transportation and I always show up on time. I'd love to meet you and your pet before the first booking so we can go over routines, quirks, and anything special they need. Thanks I am currently working part time doing deliveries and pet care. I have a full fenced back yard and a basement if crates are needed but prefer to keep animals out of crates. I have a fenced in yard and my house is sectioned off top and bottom, as well as rooms that can be used for the animals as needed.
About: I am a big animal lover! I have had many animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pig & ducks!) I also pet sit for a family who had 3 cats, I have worked with them for 1 year now. I currently have an orange tabby named Theo, he is my world. Me & my spouse adopted him 2 years ago from the Humane Society & he has been the perfect addition to our little family. I am here to love your fur babies! Please feel reach out me with any questions. Thanks! I work a regular full time job. I have fostered 2 cats before and it was a wonderful experience. Most of the time spent with the cats, would be in the morning and all evening long after work to take care and love them. I have an apartment building that is very secure, you can only gain access the to building if you have a key fob. The animals have plenty of space to move around and be free, or sleep super comfy on my furniture.
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.
“Ashley is the absolute best! She’s cared for my cat Soot before and I can always tell how happy Soot is to see her. She plays with her a bunch, is communicative, and leaves the apartment in great shape. Ashley’s love for animals is super clear and makes me feel totally at ease while I’m gone”
“Laura was great! She sent the cutest photos during every visit and actually spent time with our cats. She was attentive, punctual, and followed the plans. Great care- thank you Laura!”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs and cats, so I have lots of experience caring for both. My mom currently has 3 lab mixes and one of them is, unfortunately, getting up there in age and when I visit her, I try to help as much as I can, so I have experience caring for older dogs. I have one dog of my own who is my best friend! He’s a 6 year old black lab with nonstop enthusiasm for walks, chasing squirrels, and sniffing his way through every park in Baltimore City. He is also a fearless rat patroller! We have had him since he was a puppy, so I have been able to get experience training him and learning to work with, and love, all of his quirks, and I’m excited to do the same for your pets! I work a normal 40 hr work week, but am happy to fill in to help with your pet needs. I work from home mostly, so outside of my occasional in office days, I’m available to be with your pets through the day during the week! I am always available on the weekends. I have my own dog and a partner who works occasional odd or long hours, so there are times I will have to head back home to check on my own pup! In my own home, our dog has free range over the house! He rules the place and, unfortunately, doesn’t get along with other dogs, so I’m not able to offer boarding services in my home. While I’m at yours or with your pet, I will treat them like my own - lots of love, occasional treats (as many as are okay with you), and whatever else they may need! I’d love to have detailed instructions on how to care for your pet, so I can make sure they are as comfortable as they can be!
“Elizabeth was a great communicator and I felt safe leaving her with my cats. We were worried about our boy needing medication while we were gone and she was wonderful and got it done with no issues.”
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. I normally like to plan 24 hours in advance but if my schedule is open I don't mind same day or last minute. 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.
“Maricarmen (Mary) was wonderful! She is communicative and professional. My cats were in great care and even my more shy cat opened up to her immediately. I look forward to a partnership with her and trusted care for my kitties!”
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.
“Liz is awesome! So communicative and easy to talk to and we love that she so clearly genuinely cares about the well being of of three kitties:) she loves playing with them and giving them love. She’s also been awesome and helped provide updates about packages and emptying our dehumidifier. It’s great receiving updates and photos! Liz is a salt of the earth gem!!”
“Brina is incredible with our two cats. She really cares for them and pays attention to what they want, and actively engages with them in playtime and cuddles while at our house. She sends great photos, is extremely responsible and communicative, and gives us peace of mind when traveling. I can't recommend her enough!!”
“Jusskayy is a sweetheart! She accommodated me on short notice without a prior meet and greet and I am sooo thankful. She asked all the right questions prior to arrival and it was wonderful. Made me think of things I totally forgot to inform her about. She went over, spend time with my pup and left everything just as she got it. She is a definite top 5 on my sitters to use again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs (my own, friends, neighbors) as long as I can remember. I’m the kind of person they gravitate to and I know how to communicate with them. Dogs are my favorite part of life, including my “son” Ernie the Frenchie! I am an engineer in healthcare, so I typically am in the office during the weekdays until around 3. Very early mornings, 4p-?, and anytime on weekends I am fully available. My puppy (well, he’s 6 but he’s always a pup to me) is a model of health. Grade 0 teeth, strength and endurance from a muscular body attributed to his healthy and fresh diet. I make time for us to play outdoors every day as well as go for at least one walk a day - though he’s a frenchie he will actually walk on average 3 miles at a time with no issues!
“This was my first time trying the Rover service and Jesse did a wonderful job. This was a long sit, with me traveling for 4 weeks, and I was nervous about leaving my kitty alone for so long. Jesse was very accommodating, attentive, and communicative with updates to let me know how things were going. Kitty seemed to really take to her, being as friendly and cuddly with her as she is with me, which I haven't seen her do with anyone else yet. Jesse also kept my plants alive and was very clean. I'd recommend Jesse and plan on requesting her services again in the future.”
“Jordan took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. I will definitely be contacting him in the future. If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I highly recommend Jordan.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 820 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort Howard. 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.

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.
