“Jasmin has been the best sitter for our pets! We have used her multiple times and always feel so relaxed on our trips knowing she’s taking care of our furry family! She truly cares about making sure your pets are as happy as can be and would recommend her 100%!”
“Susan has been absolutely fantastic as a dog walker! She is reliable, punctual, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. She always provides updates after walks and goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy and well cared for.”
“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!”
“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’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds for years and have three of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’m studying to become a veterinarian and work part-time at a pet store, which has given me strong knowledge of pet health, behavior, and nutrition. I also have hands-on experience fostering senior dogs, sitting for cats, caring for a pregnant dog, and helping raise a litter of seven puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and needs, and I always treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know our pets are our children, I wont treat them as any less! I also know fish, small animal and reptile care very well! Se habla español! 🤗 I’m currently a part-time student, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, including weekends. I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs and keep their schedule consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and three friendly small-to-medium sized dogs who are used to being around other pets. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m also able to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or crate needs you have. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel at home, well loved, and cared for!
“Cathy was wonderful. We had a last minute request which she was able to accommodate. She communicated with us throughout the drop in visits, which included photos. We will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Excellent! Ken was responsive, friendly, reliable and accommodating. He took care of the food and water for our cat, collected mail for us and even retrieved an unexpected package delivered while we were on vacation. Definitely recommend.”
About: When I was little I begged my parents for a pet, finally they agreed and we rescued a Golden Retriever mix puppy,Sebastian, so animals have been a part of my heart from the very beginning. He was my best friend for almost 13 years. We went on walks, dog park play dates, hikes, and many car rides. He was also my movie night buddy. I also have some experience with fish, I had a betta fish and hope to start new aquarium set ups soon. In the future I plan on rescuing more animals, both cats and dogs. These days, I'm a proud cat mom to Cleo and Pearl, my one-year-old duo who keep me on my toes. By day I work in a science lab, but my evenings are filled with live music, painting, crocheting (yes, I’ve made my cats bandanas) and making sure my babies are loved. I have experience walking dogs of all ages, from energetic pups to gentle seniors, and I'm comfortable handling pet medications, so you can trust your fur baby is in safe, attentive hands. I treat every pet like family and am committed to giving them the very best care while you're away. I am available on the weekends and some weekday evenings after 5pm for dog walks or drop in visits. On the weekends I can also do multiple drop ins I would like to meet the pets before the initial walk or drop in. Also like to discuss their schedules and anything else I’d need to know about them and their routines
“Mary took great care of my cat, Sammie. I received short notice about a work trip, and Mary's care for Sammie gave me great peace of mind during a hectic time. She was kind, reliable, and I really appreciated the daily updates she provided. I definitely recommend booking with her if you're looking for someone to care for your pets!”
About: I am pretty new to this but I have watched taken care of big and small dogs in the past with their own specific needs. I am available all day Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs. As for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I am available after 5:30pm. I may be able to accommodate more days if my work schedule opens up. I will just let you know :) I am very vigilant and detail oriented. I will make sure that everything is left the EXACT same way it was as I entered. If not better. As for my own home, I do not have the capacity to keep a dog unfortunately.
“Minara is so great!! She looked after my cats while I visited family for Christmas. Wonderful communicator and very easygoing. Everything went very smoothly and I can tell my cats liked her. :) Everything was left very clean and she did every single little thing i asked!! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
About: I have had experience with my own dog, as he was apart of the family for 12 years. I love being around dogs, and I will make sure they are well taken care of! I am currently home from college during the summer and working part time. I will be available for long-term and short term sitting on the weekends, and possibly sitting during the week as that is when I am working part time. I do not offer care in my own home, but I will be willing to work out something if need be of if it’s the best option!
“Pilar was fantastic with our 3 cats for 10 days! She came over for a meet and greet and was very attentive to all their needs. We felt very comfortable and confident with Pilar watching our cats and taking care of our home so respectfully. She was able to administer daily medication for one of our boys, which is a huge plus. We highly recommend Pilar and will be booking her again for future trips!”

We are so thankful and appreciative of Sara! She took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. With her detailed descriptions of the visits and pictures, our minds were put at ease during our little trip away. We will definitely be requesting Sara for our next trip to care for our kitties!
Candice is excellent; she takes great care of our 17-yr old cat with all his food and water needs and sends detailed updates with great pictures of each visit plus everything is always clean when we return. Always glad and less worry when we have had her several times and are never disappointed.
Quick to respond and very accommodating, especially for a last-minute drop-in request. She came by to feed and play with my cats while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help on such short notice. Highly recommend!
Dee Dee saved our vacation as she was able to watch our cat last-minute on a holiday weekend after our care fell through. She was responsive to my messages and provided excellent care to our cat, who was being left home alone for the first time. While he was slightly annoyed at us for leaving, he was well fed and emotionally and physically stimulated while we were away, as demonstrated by how put together and not destroyed our house was when we returned. We will definitely use Dee Dee again when we go out of town!
Lynette took care of 3 of my cats. One needed eye drops, one needed pills and the third just needed lovies. She did a good job at administrating the medicine! My cats were happy overall and were taken care of very well. Food, water, litter were cleaned at a timely manner. She provided written update each visit with lots of pictures too! Thank you!
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!
Kenneth extended his visits to my sisters shy old cat Myshkin during a very difficult time when she was still in the hospital and having her house renovated at the same time. During all the chaos Kenneth also replaced and paid for cat food and medicine that had been discarded by the workers in error. Kenneth is an extraordinary pet sitter.
Cassandra was very kind and gracious during our meet and greet. She is very knowledgeable about cats and their peculiar behaviors. She kept me updated with Matilda's daily eating habits and water intake. I was well at ease having Cassandra care for my sweet baby. I will definitely use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Germantown on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,787 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
- 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.
