“Catherine was wonderful! I hired her for drop-in visits for my 4 cats, including a diabetic cat who she gave insulin. She was very kind, sweet with the kitties, and even took the bags of litter out to the trash even though I told her she didn’t need to do that (it’s a bit of a walk to the dumpster.) I’m very happy I hired her for my trip :)”
“Rene is absolutely fantastic. She was always prompt, diligent and so caring for our cat. This was our first time leaving Milo. Rene immediately put us at ease. She communicated constantly. She came prior to the scheduled visits to meet Milo, who loved Rene instantly. During the visits, Rene sent us pictures of Milo. She did “all the things” (litterbox, food, water etc), probably more carefully than we do at home haha. Rene even brushed Milo, which was above and beyond. We are so happy Rene took care of our pet. We can’t say enough good things about Rene.”
“Sandra was awesome. She sent me updates and pictures after every visit. She treated Cleo as she was her own pet. She was a wonderful caretaker. Definitely will have her take care of Cleo again. Thank you, Sandra!”
About: I have taken care of my own dog since I was young, and since her passing I have routinely dogsit for friends and family. My childhood right-paw-man was a Beagle mix, and so I love to handle hounds who sniff first & think later (as well as distract them with Pupperoni…). I took care of her in her old age, so I have some experience in dropping medicine on the floor and pretending it’s a delectable morsel so dogs devour it! I also have handled plenty of bark-happy dogs, and like to bring treats on all my walks to incentivize more calmer adventures. I am currently in a partly asynchronous grad school program, and I’d love to spend my very flexible time taking healthy (and frequent) breaks from studying to care for your pet! I’m excited to adapt to fur-parents’ homes and needs! I’m comfortable crating pets, supervising outdoor time in fenced yards, and being attentive to your pets’ body language while inside their home.
“We had a great experience with Lynnette! She took great care of our cats and took lots of photos for us while we were gone! Lynnette has been one of the best sitters we've had on Rover so far! Will definitely rebook for any future trips!”
About: I’m a professional dog groomer and currently manage a grooming salon located inside a veterinary clinic. I’ve been working in the veterinary and pet-care world for about 3 years, and I absolutely love being surrounded by animals every day! Working with pets has been incredibly rewarding for me. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, making them feel safe and comfortable, and helping them live happy, healthy lives. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be stressful, so I always treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently working part time at the veterinary clinic so I will be able to spend the afternoons with the pups/kitties. Sometimes (and if you feel comfortable of course) I could bring them to work with me since there is plenty of space and toys (and they get all of the attention and love) here at the clinic! I have two kitties who are used to interact with other animals, I have a fenced patio so you can be sure they will always be secure and safe. I am also willing to stay overnight at your home if you think your furry baby will be more comfortable in their own space.
“Dee Dee is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She is very reliable, communicates clearly, excellent with high need dogs (we have a senior dog with mobility issues and a puppy with lots of energy), and genuinely cares for our pups. She is our go-to sitter and we feel lucky to have found her!”
“Dymond took absolutely fantastic care of Justin. She is thorough, asks great questions, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I received a detailed Rover Card each day with the cutest pics, which put my mind at ease while leaving my kitty at home for a week. We will be rebooking the next time we are away and cannot recommend Dymond enough!”
“Jasmin is fantastic-she comminuted well and took the time to find out exactly what our cats needed and what type of care best suited their personalities. Every day we looked forward to the cute pix she sent us. It was clear our cats were happy and in good hands while we were gone. Thank you, Jasmin!”
“Susan was great! I felt safe with her taking care of my cat while I was away overseas. She was communicative the entire time, very responsive, left me daily notes on time, and my cat seemed to have had a great time with her. Would book again :)”
“Andrew was an excellent sitter for our two kitties while we were away. He sent us numerous photos and adhered strictly to their routine. It was evident that our kitties adored him and were delighted to see him in the pictures. We’re definitely planning to use Andrew again for our next trip away.🥰”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have also worked as a dog walker, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for Labs for years and have experience with walks, runs, senior dogs, administering medication, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m able to work around walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime while still keeping up with my work. I also have two cats of my own, so caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. I’m happy to build visits around each pet’s routine and give them the attention they need while their owners are away. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine. I’ll always take the time to understand your instructions, ask questions if anything is unclear, and make sure I have any additional information I need before you leave. I’ll follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Riley gave me lots of peace of mind that Bun was being taken care of, looked after, and getting the attention she loves. She left a little summary on the rover card of what she did and how Bun was, and included a few photos for each drop in so I could see that Bun was doing well. I would definitely recommend booking Riley!”
About: I love animals very much. I can always establish a good interactive relationship with pets and help them adapt to the new environment quickly. By observing and perceiving their needs, I can provide timely help and let them spend a relaxing and happy time. I have also taken care of many older dogs and know how to feed them medicine and care for them. I work from home so I am able to take care of the pet throughout the day, I take dog for walks in the morning and evening and take him out to play in the backyard every two to three hours. I have a fenced backyard and I have a six year old very well behaved and friendly little dachshund at home to play with your dog. Because I take care of my own dog every day and have taken care of different kinds of dogs, so I can take good care of your dog too.
“Alyssa is truly the Best! Mia, my English Bulldog, has the attitude of a teenage girl, and isnt a morning pupper, Im positive some days she just doesnt want to move from her fluffy bed! Alyssa is amazing with her!”
“Very good experience after 2 bookings of 1 week. Our 2 cats and Stephanie quickly became friends, and we received nice pictures and videos every day. We were able to talk in real time in the Rover chat and share our requests to best adapt to the cats' needs.”

Riley gave me lots of peace of mind that Bun was being taken care of, looked after, and getting the attention she loves.

I would definitely recommend booking Riley!
Sara was a great sitter! We liked the personal touch in her reports and our cats loved her. Even our fussy old lady! She did a great job playing with our cats and sending update pictures. She also tracked down our cats in the house to make sure they got fed. She even managed to help us with a last-minute schedule change. We have no complaints and we will definitely hire Sara again.
Candice is absolutely amazing! She is so communicative and thorough, and I’m truly able to disconnect and enjoy my vacation knowing that my babies are in such caring hands. She pays close attention to their individual behaviors and routines and takes detailed notes so she can pick up on how they’re feeling and if anything seems different. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s not just stopping by to feed them, but is genuinely getting to know them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. We feel so lucky to have found someone we truly trust with our kitties. I couldn’t recommend Candice more, she is exactly the kind of sitter you hope to find!
We’ve been working with Lynnette for several years now, and she has become an absolutely invaluable part of our pets’ lives. She is wonderful with both our cats and our dog — patient, gentle, and genuinely caring. What truly sets her apart is how she goes above and beyond her responsibilities. During one of our trips, we had a small water‑leak issue at home while she was caring for the cats. She notified us immediately, handled the initial cleanup, and made sure everything was safe until we could get back and fix the problem. Her reliability, kindness, and professionalism give us complete peace of mind every time we travel. We would hire her again without hesitation.
Shen-Huan was perfect from start to finish for my cat. She communicates quickly, sends adorable pictures and updates on every visit, and also is thoughtful. My cat is elderly and needed meds and twice-a-day visits; Shen-Huan was very kind, very patient, very understanding with Ginger. She got her meds, got lots of love and scritches while I was away, and I came home to a very happy chill cat. Would absolutely request her again for our home, would recommend to yours!
Sandra took wonderful care of my cats while I was away. She made sure they were well fed and gave them plenty of love and attention. My cats felt comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. I knew they were in excellent hands, and she truly went above and beyond. She was on time and followed every single instructions I gave her. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.
We loved having Tim look after our cat for the week! He was so kind and patient with our very senior furball. On top of the time he took to give lots of love and playtime, Tim kept perfect track of meds and food. What’s more—was so nice in managing a few bouts of ‘tummy trouble’. We would totally book him again!
Anna did a drop-in visit for my 4 cats, including administering insulin to my diabetic cat. She was wonderful! Great communication! I had mentioned to her that I feed each cat in a different room, hoping, but from experience with other sitters, not expecting her to actually separate them. She did! I also really appreciate her putting the effort to go above and beyond what I asked. One example: During the meet and great, I fed my kitties, including adding water to their food. I mentioned to her that she didn't need to do that, but when she did the drop-in, she went ahead and did it anyways. :) I'm glad I hired her and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Germantown on Rover is $22.2 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 7,875 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Germantown. 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 Germantown. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
