“Layla took great care of our cat Mosey. She was very attentive and gave great, detailed notes on how Mosey was doing. Layla communicated with us throughout the week we were gone and our cat kitty was very happy with Layla’s company. I definitely recommend Layla for pet care.”
“Erica, we want to thank you so much for taking excellent care of our 4 cats. Erica was checking in on our cats twice daily for the week we were on vacation. She arrived right on schedule each day and fed and cared for our cats, and before checkout sent pictures from each visit. When we arrived home our pets were happy and well cared for, thanks to Erica. I highly recommend Erica to anyone who is looking for a reliable, honest and trustworthy caretaker for your pets.”
“We were very satisfied with our first boarding experience. Smokey acclimated the sitter much faster than anticipated. He enjoyed his stay and bonded with the sitter in less than one week. We will definitely use her services again when we travel. This was a long trip (17 days) during the 2025 holiday season.”
“Maria was so wonderful with our cat Lucy. Lucy is a bit shy but I could tell from the pictures and videos Maria sent me daily that Lucy was comfortable and having a a great time with Maria’s company. Maria was very reliable and even showed up for us on Thanksgiving Day. She sent me a report every day to let me know how the visit went and how Lucy was doing. We hate leaving our Lucy alone for a few days but it was a great comfort to know she was taken such great care of by Maria while my daughter had to go out of town. I will definitely use Maria again if we need a pet sitter in the future and I’m so grateful for her wonderful care of our sweet Lucy.”
“Lilla did an amazing job taking care of my cats. she sent lots of photos and detailed visit summaries, and even replaced my feeder ball that had broken while I was out of town. I definitely recommend her!”
About: While I have not worked professionally as a pet sitter before, I have hands-on experience caring for my own cat. I provide daily care including feeding, refreshing her water, cleaning her litter box, and making sure she is comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention. Caring for my cat has taught me to be responsible, patient, and attentive to an animal’s individual needs. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have a cat of my own, so I’m used to providing consistent daily care, including feeding, refreshing her water, cleaning her litter box, and making sure she is comfortable and well cared for. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to provide that same level of attention and care to other people’s pets. I care for pets by making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I follow their individual routines and pay attention to their behavior and needs. In a client’s home, I would make sure their pet stays comfortable and follows the same routine they are used to while their owner is away.
About: Option 2 (more professional): I have six years of hands-on experience caring for my own two cats, one female and one male. I’m experienced with daily feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming, and giving medications when needed. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and always prioritize patience, safety, and plenty of affection. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I’m available in the evenings, on weekends, and for drop-in visits. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special routines. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’ll take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Both of my cats are super friendly. I’ll also provide regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing.
“Faith was amazing!! It’s always very anxiety inducing for me to leave my cats, especially since my one is very shy and easily startled. But she took such good care of them and even got my loner cat to come out for some love!! Faith is very communicative and I loved that she sent plenty of pictures each day. It’s obvious that she loves the cats and taking care of animals! I will not hesitate to book her next time I’m out of town :)”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or gentle seniors. I have experience with basic training for young pets, helping reinforce good habits, and I’m patient and compassionate with older animals who may need extra support or mobility assistance. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind. I can work part time and spend as much time as needed with each pet. I love taking care of animals. Pet care is a part of my daily routine I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to accommodate different needs. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks and any specific instructions. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates (Pictures), and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. At the end of the day I want each pet that I meet to have a loving care experience and feel relaxed and well cared for at all times.
“Xianting was very patient and professional and monitor the conditions of my cat closely. It was our first time using rover and we immediately love Xianting and would love to come back to her again. Highly recommended!”
“Asha did a great job taking care of my cat Shiro! We had her do overnight in home care taking and she did an amazing job. Followed all instructions to the T, kept my place tidy and Shiro was well cared for. He takes his time getting used to new pet sitters however he did end up cuddling with Asha near the end of her visit. She also kept me regularly updated with pictures and a quick summary!”
“Marianne’s 12 day visits with our 2 kitties went smoothly, including administering the medicine needed for our older cat. We appreciated the pictures and comments Marianne posted after each visit. The girls were calm and happy to see us. We’ll definitely book with Marianne again.”
“Shaina was a wonderful caregiver for our boys! She kept in touch with us the entire time we were away, we love seeing pictures of them playing & napping. The boys like having someone in the house while we are gone and did a great job keeping them company too.”
“Jessica was fantastic! I was having a challenging time finding a sitter available and she quickly volunteered. When she came for the meet and greet with Sylvia (cat), Jessica managed to get some pets in! This never happens with new people; she’s definitely a pet whisperer. She also provided great updates, photos, and gave me an update on the status of my apartment because of the storms. I definitely recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’m Bella Mason! I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14, grew up surrounded by animals, and even started my own pet-sitting business back home, which did really well! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and strive to be a reliable sitter who makes every pet feel like family. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies and just want someone you can trust to take the best care of them! I have experience with all types of animals, from dogs + cats, to goats, chickens, and hedgehogs. I am a college student at the University of Maryland. I would prefer not to schedule anything on Wednesdays, because that is my late night of classes, but all other days I am able to drop in before and after my classes. I unfortunately cannot petsit in my apartment, but I love to ask my client's to provide me "instructions" with every detail possible. I like to do meet-in-greets with animals/clients to ensure it is a good fit. I will follow instructions closely and precisely to ensure their routine stays in-tack.
About: I've owned pets for my entire life and taken care of them since I was a kid. I can take them for long walks, feed them, play with them and take care of them. I am currently working part- time, so I have plenty of time for your pets. I can visit your pets once or twice throughout the day while you're at work. I am happy to care for your pets and your home, if you need someone to take in mail or water your plants. Safety is a priority, so I am attentive to any concerns you have for your house or pets.
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
About: Growing up my family always had a dog and a cat. We rescued our family cat when she was a week old after her mom and litter mates left her for being the runt of the litter. We had to come up with a way to feed her using a straw and litter trained her from scratch. I currently have a full-time day job where I work from home. My available times for longer viaits and care are Monday through Friday are 5-8 AM and 6-10 PM. I am available during the day on a limited basis for shorter visits or walking appointments. During holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays I am fully available to meet your pets’ needs! I am really good at following instructions on how your pet needs to be cared for and am also mindful of keeping your home clean and organized.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Greenbelt
Olivia was a wonderful sitter for our three cats. We arranged her service at the last minute after our regular sitter was unavailable. Our cats immediately took to her as she lovingly extended her hand to meet them. They were fed, litter boxes were cleaned and they were calm when we returned. Great communication and it was a nice touch to get photo updates! I can highly recommend her service!
Ashley was absolutely amazing! Our cat, Smokie, can be pretty shy with new people, but Ashley connected with her so beautifully. By the second or third day, Smokie was more playful and even excited to see her when she came by. Ashley gave us thorough updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that really put us at ease. The way she tuned into Smokie’s needs and her gentle, attentive approach made all the difference. We highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter. We will definitely be using her again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Greenbelt is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $40 per visit. On Rover, 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.

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.

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.
