About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in the house. I have experience caring for both from birth to end of life. I can give medications, hand feed, clean incontinence/accidents, scoop and clean litter boxes, administer subcutaneous IV fluids, walk, play, and anything your baby may need. I will care for them as if they are my own and would love to spoil them. My schedule is semi-flexible as I work from home. I’m available afternoons and evenings. Feel free to reach out if a different time is needed and I will see what I can do. I am offering drop in visits and walking for right now. I will be respectful of your property and sensitive and patient with your baby.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m active and enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping higher-energy dogs engaged, but I’m just as comfortable providing a calm environment for older or lower-energy dogs. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic commands, routines, and good behavior with younger dogs. My goal is to follow the routine you’ve established and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I currently work week days from about 830 to 330 and off weekends. I often work from home if needed. I am very flexible with coordinating care. I have a fenced yard that is great for your pets to play. My house is very open and spacious and very pet friendly. I am very flexible depending on your pets needs.

Kiara was am amazing dog-sitter for my crotchety old pup. She went above and beyond expectations, giving him lots of love and attention. She also worked hard to clean up after him and keep his area comfortable. We will definitely be hiring her again!

We really enjoyed our meet and greet with Matt. He was great with both my dogs and his background and understanding of dog behavior and dog training is very reassuring with my very anxious puppers!

Kristal was great with my two kitties. She did drop in visits while I was on a multi-day vacation. I got updates and pictures everyday and she even cleaned up kitty cat puke (from one of my babies who has a sensitive tummy). Would absolutely book again!

About: I have 14 years of experience caring for a variety of species professionally in every kind of environment from shelters and veterinary medicine to daycares and in the home. I am currently a Veterinary Rehab Technician supporting senior and disabled animals through their rehabilitative exercises and treatments. I have also offered services as a behavioral counselor and trainer specializing in fear and reactivity for over a decade. I am currently working part time as a veterinary rehab assistant so while I am not available everyday I am available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday with limited availability some Saturday afternoons. I am available for overnights any day of the week if provided a weeks notice. I come with supplies and activities based on the sweet one’s needs and preferences! I have: - “Snifarri” supplies for cognitive games and scent games (great for bad weather days or tired senior animals!). - Fitness equipment and workouts so your pet can get some good exercise in even if it’s too hot for a walk! - Toys, treats, wagons, and leashes of all lengths to help animals engage in activities and learn new skills! My home: I have a large fenced backyard and screened porch for safe and secure off-leash outdoor time. Lots of carpets, yoga mats, and baby gates to keep senior animals from slipping and snacky animals from accessing trash cans. Lots of hiding spaces available for nervous cats and lots of windows available for curious ones. Very close to two parks that can be accessed by short walks or car rides with lots of trails, wildlife, and river access.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Fort Washington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fort Washington on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,953 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort Washington. 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 Fort Washington. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
