“Lucy is wonderful! She is super reliable and helped us out very last minute over the holidays. She is so great with dogs and we will definitely be using her again soon.”
About: I've had pets for most of my life and have cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable maintaining routines, providing plenty of exercise and playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of consistency with young pets and can help reinforce good habits and routines. For senior pets, I'm happy to provide the extra care, patience, and attention they may need. I'm currently home from college and work part time at a local elementary school until their summer starts. I am available most days of the week and at most hours. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them, provide playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs and personality. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, spend time playing or socializing with them, and make sure they have a calm, stress-free environment.
About: I've been walking dogs of all sizes for about 7 years now in different ways and I have to say I've never met I dog I haven't become immediate best friends with. I love to take the dogs on their favorite trails, and play if they still have energy after. They will always have water provided and a treat at the end of each visit, with lots of pets and snuggles in between. With my previous experience I feel comfortable with any size dog, and can handle different behaviors as well. Though every visit can seem repetitive, if something unexpected occurs I know the best routes to handle any situation that may come up. I think it's important to think on your feet, even if you only have two. ;) I’m currently working part time as a dog walker and working towards finishing my undergrad degree in college. I am doing classes online this summer. I do not have the ability to care for pets at my home at this time. My current living situation is unsuitable for strange dogs to come stay.
About: I have taken care and loved all ages of dogs my whole life. From owning them to watching the neighbors and friends. I have also worked in a professional setting for about 5+ years and have had experience caring for all different breeds and their specific individual needs. In addition, I have training experience with Penn Vet Working Dog Center as well as some classes I attended at a training school! I’m grateful for all the experiences I’ve had and all the ones waiting to be had! I have currently care for 3 different types of animals (cat, gecko, and turtle!) I did have a dog as well however she sadly passed recently. I am able to crate dogs as well as provide medications and keep up with dietary restrictions. I am able to walk as well as play and spend time with the pups! For cats I am able to scoop litter and give as many or as little cuddles as the cat may enjoy! I’m good with feeding as well as administering meds to cats
“Heather is extremely professional and checked in and out on-time everyday! She provided pictures and written status up dates everyday as well! We highly recommend Heather and will be booking her for our Ayg and Sept vacation”
“Cathy was all I could have hoped for in a caregiver for my sweet kitty. She was loving and followed my directions carefully. Philly was happy to see me when I got home, but calm and content. She had eaten her normal amount of food and Cathy sent pics of Philly playing! The pics were very reassuring. Thank you Cathy.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Angelina! She checked in daily on our two cats and made sure they were well fed and cared for. Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she genuinely enjoys working with animals. We came home to two happy cats which is a testament to the excellent care she provided. Highly recommend Angelina to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“I really appreciate Maya’s patience with Oreo. She took her time with the overly excited dog and built a relationship with her, and I definitely book her again! I’m glad Oreo has a new friend!”
About: Currently the "sister" to a six year old Cavapoo dog whom I have pet sat multiple times in my home for my parents. I have helped walk my neighbor's rescue dog (who has anxiety, but seems to get along well with me). I was a regular cat sitter for a family friend (responsibilities included twice daily feeding, cleaning of the litter box, and making sure he was let in and out of the house). I truly believe our pets are furry family members who deserve all the love and personal care, so rest assured your fluffy (or fuzzy) friend will be in good hands with me! I am a recent college graduate with a flexible schedule. In addition to my experience with dogs and cats, I also owned a Betta fish who lived for four years. I am responsible for the care of the family dog when my parents are out of town. This includes everything from walking and feeding to playtime and couch nap supervision (which he loves). I lovingly refer to him as my four-legged baby brother and treat him accordingly! (Not currently offering boarding.)
About: I am an elementary school teacher. So, caregiving, patience, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am and what I value. I won’t just watch your pet, I will love each furry friend like it’s my own. I love being active, nurturing others (including 4 legged friends), I’m very organized and punctual, and just helping is my passion. My Weekly Availability 🐾 I offer flexible daytime and evening care throughout the week and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine! Monday: Midday (12:00 PM – 2:30 PM) & evening (after 5:30 PM) Tuesday: Open availability with a short afternoon break (2:30 PM – 5:30 PM) Wednesday: Unavailable Thursday: Morning through early afternoon (until 3:00 PM) Friday: Limited availability upon request I tend to book up quickly between nannying, especially for recurring walks and visits, so feel free to reach out to reserve your spot—I’m always happy to work with your schedule when I can! I do not have pets at my own apartment, but at my parents house we have 4 dogs that I have loved and cared for for years! Dogs are such a comfort to me, so in return I always aim to create the most loving, comforting, safe environment for each pet I encounter.
About: It wasn't until 2012 when I rented a home with a fenced yard that I adopted my first canine companion. Prior to that time, I always lived with cats and was the friend people thought of when they needed someone to do house and pet-sitting. I sat with quite a few small dogs, as well as a giant pit bull named Miles and a sweet special needs senior lab named Boogie. In my rural home on 3 acres are two 20 pound terriers named Jack and Sadie. They do not have a fenced yard to run around in, but always get at least three good walks each day (locally, on trails, dog parks). They're extremely bonded and are good with other small dogs and cats.
About: I became a cat mom in 2019, and have since spent time volunteering at a cat shelter and a farm (taking care of kittens, piglets and goats!). I’ve always been drawn to animals and will take great care of your pets! I have a flexible schedule, and generally available both weekends and weekdays for a set period of time. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your needs! My preference is to take of pets in my client’s home, since I have a cat that does not get along easily with other animals. Depending on the duration of the pet-sitting, I can do day trips or overnights.
“Ally is the literal best!! I was so anxious about leaving our puppy for the first time going back to work, but Ally immediately made me feel so relaxed and relieved and takes such good care of our girl when we’re at work!! She really goes above and beyond to help us and our puppy and as a new dog mom she has been such a huge help and resource to me, we are so lucky to have found her!!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.
About: Hi! I’m Shannon, a graduate student with several years of hands-on pet care experience, including 5 months of paid dog walking and ongoing pet sitting/boarding for repeat clients. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently care for my own pets, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animal. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I also have experience with senior pets, administering medication, and following routines and schedules. You can expect consistent updates and photos, dependable, on-time care, and a safe environment. I’m currently a graduate student with a generally flexible schedule. While I have some weekly commitments, I do my best to accommodate pet care needs and can often adjust my availability when needed. I’m especially available for evenings, weekends, and will have increased flexibility during the summer months! I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet. I ensure pets are fed, hydrated, exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor their behavior and well-being to make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times.
“Si yeon was great, she did a wonderful job caring for my kitties and gave me great peace of mind! Communicative, friendly, and made sure to give them some attention and play time while I was away. Will definitely rebook, thanks Si yeon!”
About: My name is Christian. I am kind, gentle, and fun loving. I will walk, run, exercise, and play fetch with your dog and care for him/her as if he/she were one of my own. I will walk any dog, any size, age, or breed. I’ve always enjoyed dogs a lot. Your dogs will have such a fun time they won’t want to leave. I am available seven days a week rain or shine and my hours are flexible. No matter what, you can count on me to walk your dog. If you require any special requests just let me know and I will see what I can do. If you need your pet washed I can do that too. I look forward to walking your dog!
“Amanda far exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all respects. She clearly loves animals and bonded with our Lippy and Emmy, while attending to their every need, including Lippy’s meds. Knowing things were being handled so well allowed us to fully enjoy our trip with no worries at all. She is the best!”

We couldn't be happier with Kasey as our cat sitter for Sam and Smoets! From the moment she stepped in, it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and well-being. She kept us updated with photos and notes, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly attentive to your pets' needs, Kasey is the one.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,613 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
