About: I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting for cats or dogs, and I’m happy to provide daily exercise, playtime, feeding, and medication support as needed. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or consistent routines, I tailor my care to fit their needs and personality. I grew up with mid-size dogs and frequently watched smaller dogs for family friends in Pittsburgh. After moving upstate, I became a devoted cat dad to my black cat, Lola, for four years. Since then, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors with specific feeding and medication schedules. I'm attentive and responsive to every animal’s unique rhythm. I currently work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to drop in or house-sit for quality time with your pets during the day. I enjoy staying active and love being outdoors—so your dog will always get a good walk (and a happy walking buddy!). For overnight stays, I treat every home and pet with the respect and care I’d want for my own. I pride myself on being responsible, respectful, and kind—treating every home and animal as if my own. As a freelancer who works remotely, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m also available for house sitting and overnights provided there's stable wifi. I am a trustworthy house sitter/ walker who priotizes clear communication on expectations and house standards. I do not offer pet care from my own home.

About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pups Kona and Desi. I have always lived with dogs. I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.

Lilly was absolutely amazing! From the moment my pup met her, he fell in love with her! And I could tell she treated him so well while we were gone! She kept in great contact and sent plenty of pictures of my boy to keep my mind at ease while I was away! I even had a slight panic one night with my pup, and she went above and beyond to help! I highly recommend her!!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for more than 14 years and understand how much trust it takes to leave both a beloved pet and your home in someone else’s care. I have experience with dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic care, and oral medications. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I know that every pet is different, so I prefer to follow the routines and rules they already know rather than suddenly changing their world while their family is away. I also have professional experience working in private residences in Manhattan, where reliability, discretion, attention to detail, and respect for someone’s home were essential. I bring that same attitude to pet sitting. When I stay in your home, I treat your space carefully and respectfully and make sure you return to it just as you left it. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave knowing that your pet is safe, comfortable, loved, and in responsible hands. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away without worrying about what’s happening at home. My schedule is currently flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of time and attention rather than simply stopping by and rushing off. I’m available for weekday and weekend care, including longer house-sitting stays. I can plan my day around your pet’s usual feeding, walking, play, and rest schedule. When I’m house sitting, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and familiar as possible while you’re away. Trust is extremely important to me. When you invite me into your home, I understand that you are trusting me with two things that matter enormously to you: your pet and your personal space. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, doors and gates, sleeping arrangements, and household routines. I never introduce a pet to unfamiliar animals or take them somewhere without the owner’s permission. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show in mine. My experience working in private residences has taught me the importance of discretion, cleanliness, security, and attention to detail. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos, and I will always contact you if anything seems unusual.

Sofia and her husband Arsen did a wonderful job looking after my 5 cats. One of them is a very high maintenance rescued Himalayan. His coat looked better than it did when I left and his eyes were well cleaned. The other four were happy and well fed.

About: I have always had a special connection with dogs. I grew up with dogs and treated them like part of the family. I have been primarily working as a pet nanny for 5 years for someone who traveled to Europe on a monthly basis. They are staying in Europe indefinitely so I am looking to add some new clients. I can offer your dogs fun playtime and a sense of stability by caring for them in their own environment. I am also available for walks and drop in visits. I send pictures and updates daily. Your best friend will be spoiled and pampered with me. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability as this is my main job. I can also do long term sitting up to 6 weeks if necessary. I am responsible and professional and respectful in your home. Besides caring for your pets, I am happy to pick up mail and water plants.

About: I have had a dog in my family from the moment I was born. They truly are family and I believe a house doesn’t feel like a home without a pet. I have been a stay at home mom since 2019 spending most of my time at home caring for my 3 daughters, 2 dogs and my girls cat. We have a recently built new home and a large partial of land in the country perfect for outdoor playing and walks. If your fur baby stays with me I promise that they will be cared for like family themselves. I am home most of the day so they won’t be alone long, cuddles are definitely welcomed and I will respect all rules that you have for your pet! I am looking forward to my home becoming your furbabies beloved vacation spot. If you would like to set up a play date for your pet to meet me and my pets before booking that is welcome but not mandatory..whatever makes you feel more comfortable. Any questions before their stay or check ins during their stay are always welcome as well! 😊 I stay at home with my 3 year old daughter and drive my 4 & 5 year old to school every day. Other than that your pet will not be left alone for long. I spend most of my time at home so they will have plenty of attention and love! My pets are like my children before having children. They are allowed to snuggle on the couch and in bed. When I leave the house they are crate trained. I will respect your wishes and listen to what suits your pets lifestyle best. I have plenty of room at my house for your pets own crate or dog bed. Whatever will make them feel most at home I will do!

About: I had a dog in my family for around 10 years. He was really the best. It was so fun to watch him grow up and take care of him through it all. I absolutely adore animals and love to give them attention, play with them and learn with them. I work full time but have different hours and sometimes will be available in the mornings, sometimes the middle of the day, and sometimes weekends! I will always have time for animals. I provide a safe and comforting environment for dogs and humans alike. I am very considerate and observant of everything around me so I will always make sure everyone is safe and having a great time with everything they need. I am very respectful of people’s space and always make sure to leave things the way I found them.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Germantown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 403 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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
