“Dee Dee did a great job taking care of Mia. After every visit, she sent a summary and pictures. A lot of the time, I wasn’t able to access them (no service in Yellowstone), but when I could I saw that Mia was well cared for. When I got home, all was well.”

“She took care of my Kitties last minute, and one of them I adopted a week ago and they weren't quite on hospitable terms yet. She allowed them to interact gently while being ready to separate in case of throwing paws. She also followed special feeding directions for my elderly cat who needs stuff mixed in and her pate in an extra soupy mash.”

About: Since I can remember I’ve always had a love for animals; especially dogs. Since I was not able to have a pet of my own, I would dog sit for family, friends, and neighbors! I have three and a half years of experience caring for dogs and other pets. From 90 pound pitbulls to 5 pound chihuahuas. If you chose me as your dog sitter I guarantee he or she will get an immense amount of love and attention under my care. If you have any questions about my qualifications or just want to learn more about me please don’t hesitate to ask (: I hope you’ll chose me and allow me to take care of your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

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.

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 of Cat Sitting in Germantown on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,916 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 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 .

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 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.
