“Sharon took such good care of my kitties during my weekend trip! Any pet owner knows the anxiety of leaving your pets with a sitter, but after the first night I knew they were in good hands. I loved receiving her updates and my cats seemed so relaxed when I got home. I plan on asking Sharon to watch them again!”
“I’m so grateful Armanush could come visit our cats during the four weeks we were away. It gave me peace of mind seeing photos and knowing they had company and interaction. I would ask her to watch my cats again for sure! Thank you very much, Anush!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat, Ivy, received! Summar arrived right on time for the appointment and made sure to keep me updated on how Ivy was doing. The photo she sent of them bonding was all I needed to know that my cat was in great hands—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond, not only taking excellent care of Ivy but also cleaning her dishes, picking up litter debris, and making sure the cat waste was properly taken care of. Her responsiveness, flexibility, and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter who will treat your pet like their own, I highly recommend booking with Summar! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“Pamela is absolutely wonderful!! The pups absolutely love her, she is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell she really cares about animals. She went above and beyond to make sure the pups were well taken care of, we have three with one recovering from major surgery so no small task!”
“Annah is honestly hands down the best cat sitter ever. She knew all of Bee’s favorite toys and gave him the attention he craved. She would be my first choice in the future to look after my precious Bee!”
“We utilized Kevin’s services for the first time during my outpatient surgery for a drop in visit. He inspires trust, which is extremely important on a day like that. He followed all arrangements well & kept us apprised. We certainly hope to hire him again!”
“My kitty was happy and content with Lingshan’s visits every morning for two weeks. This was a big relief because she wouldn’t come out when Lingshan first came over to meet her! I also appreciated the photos Lingshan shared with me every day. The next time I go away, I hope Lingshan will come over again, although I will have to make sure that I’m more clear on how the litter boxes must be cleaned every day.”
About: I have always lived with horses, dogs, and cats in my home country, and I would love to continue spending time with pets here as well. I enjoy taking long walks—even in cold weather—and running outdoors, and I would be delighted to have a dog accompany me! I hold a master's degree in veterinary medicine from my home country and have experience caring for both large and small animals. While I periodically travel back to Europe, I am committed to spending quality time with pets when I am in DC, ensuring they get the exercise they need and recommending veterinary care when necessary. As a pet owner, I understand how crucial it is to choose the right pet sitter for the well-being of both pets and their families. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily schedule, even though I work part-time. I prioritize creating a structured routine for the pets, ensuring they receive ample attention, exercise, and care. My flexible work hours allow me to accommodate multiple walks, playtime, and regular check-ins throughout the day. I live in a neighborhood with excellent access to the C.C. Trail and nearby wooded paths. These trails offer shady areas and ample opportunities for exercise, making them ideal for long, enjoyable walks and jogs with the pets. In a client’s home, I follow their specific routines and preferences for pet care, including exercise, feeding, and any special needs. I make sure to use the local trails to provide the pets with the same level of care and activity they would receive in my own home.
About: I have experience working with puppies all the way up to seniors. I always make sure any medication is taken on time. I have potty trained puppies in the past. I work full-time, but I work from home on Fridays. I also finish work early on Friday so evenings are great for me to pet sit. My weekends have lots of free time to spend walking or playing with dogs I have a fenced in yard for the dog to run around and play. I like playing with dogs so I would be keeping an eye on them as well. I'll make sure they have lots of fun and cuddles.
“Chiara is reliable and has been a fantastic help and support for us while we've been away. She is prompt at sending pictures and her communication is excellent, as she replies almost instantly to any message I have needed to send her. Our cat has been well looked after.”
About: Ive grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old and had independently trained them on my own. I’m a BIG animal lover cats AND dogs of all sorts. Any pet sitting/walking endeavors you seek I am more than happy to help out especially with the current season of summer travelling In currently on summer break from college with full access to a car. Tues-Thurs I am occupied with online summer classes that last from 6:30 pm - 8:45pm but any time before or after I am fully happy to help out I train clear boundaries within the home (no wandering in the kitchen) and remain all food items and tools off the floor. I also keep various toys such as Kongs and puzzles to keep my dog stimulated indoors. I’m also pretty active myself so most of the time I like to go on walks
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and passion for animal care. Coming from a family that has fostered dozens of elderly dogs, puppies, and kittens, I have acquired invaluable skills in handling various age groups and providing specialized care. Additionally, my background working in a veterinary hospital for over two years has honed my knowledge of emergency care and the ability to identify signs of distress. I am well-versed in administering medication, maintaining hygiene, and providing comfort to animals in need. With my comprehensive expertise and genuine love for animals, I am dedicated to ensuring their well-being and providing exceptional care as a sitter. I have taken care of pretty much every animal you can thing of as a pet, including bearded dragons, snakes, fish, iguanas, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, axolotls, parakeets, and parrots, just to name a few. I am available for dog sitting and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. I work part-time 2-3 days a week, but the remaining days are completely open. I have reliable transportation and can adjust my availability to ensure your furry friend receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home, I prioritize their well-being and provide comprehensive care. I ensure they receive thorough exercise to keep them active and healthy. Timely feeding and constant access to fresh water are fundamental aspects of their care. Leveraging my experience from working in a veterinary hospital, I am vigilant in monitoring their health, always on the lookout for any signs of discomfort or distress. The safety and happiness of the animals in my care are of utmost importance, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where they feel loved and attended to.
“Sarah was wonderful with the cats. They got along with her really well and she was very thorough in giving us updates and photos. I will definitely be asking her to cat sit again in the future!”

Nicole cared for my 2 cats while I was away. It was the first time in many years that I’d traveled without them, and Nicole was patient with all of us. She arrived on time, sent pictures, and answered my questions quickly about if they were eating, etc. We have some finicky old doors that can be tricky to open/lock, but Nicole managed everything perfectly. I will choose her again!
Kayly was a fantastic sitter for our cat while we were out of town!! She was so nice in our messages and sent us plenty of photos of our cat and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. She also was very communicative throughout the service and responded to all of our messages very quickly. We’d recommend Kayly to anyone who is looking for a caring and communicative pet sitter!

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.

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.
