“Maura was absolutely wonderful with Duchess! This was my first time leaving Duchess home without me for several days, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Maura made the entire experience so much easier. She was attentive, spent quality time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. I especially appreciated how consistent Maura was with sending updates and pictures and letting me know how Duchess was doing throughout the day. I would absolutely book with Maura again. I think Duchess may have officially found herself a new babysitter!”
“Giovanna was amazing!! Drako loved being visited by her, she was very communicative with us and made sure we got pictures and updates on a visit baisis! We felt so happy and comfortable that our dog was being taken care by her! Definitely would recommend her with anyone that needs his/her dog taking care of! We would definitely will be thinking of her if we need someone to take care of our dog! Thanks Giovanna!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Nichole took amazing care of our 4-year-old cat, Tookie, during our week-and-a-half trip and truly went above and beyond in every way. Tookie is a long-haired cat, and she took the time to brush her regularly and keep her coat looking beautiful. She even cleaned her ears, which was such a kind thing to offer. Beyond caring for Tookie, she also watered our plants and looked after our home with great care. When our travel plans changed and we needed to come home early, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole process completely stress-free. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she’s entrusted with. We felt so comfortable knowing Tookie was in such capable hands. We 100% recommend Nichole to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter, and we absolutely hope to book with her again in the future!”
About: Huge animal lover and dog owner! Ive taken care of dogs for 9-10 years, and collaborated with my parents on dog walking and dog/cat-sitting services through rover with a range of dogs from small puppies to large senior dogs. Ive worked with energized as well as special care animals and love to take pictures on walks! I am working from the end of June to end of July from 8am-12:30pm!! I typically walk dogs first thing in the morning and can do a late afternoon and evening walk as well. I am super flexible on weekends and am willing to work around you schedule. I am enthusiastic to collaborate with pet parents to communicate how to keep your pet safe and happy on walks, wether that means devising the best rouse to take or anything to look our for on the way. I am great at keeping dogs from eating mysterious items off the floor as well!
“If I could, I’d give Marina a rating of 10. After our Meet & Greet I was confident she would take excellent care of our 12.5 year old mixed breed Labrador computer. The pictures made me smile as did her very thorough reports. Not for one second did my husband and I have any concerns whatsoever. We would call on her in a heartbeat. Thank you Marina!”
“Hayley was amazing! Arrived early/on time and took lots of pictures. We asked for help on short notice and she delivered! We came home to a happy dog and cat. Will definitely use her again!”
“Astrid is wonderful! She made us feel very comfortable to leave our cats with her. She would always go above and beyond and send us so many pictures. We will be booking with her again!”
“Trish was very punctual for the meet and greet as well as the walks . She was very communicative. We have been trying to find a walker that worked well with Marlin and Trish is it ! We loved all the pictures.”
“Teffni is wonderful! She took great care of my cats and I could tell in the many photos she sent that they were very comfortable and happy with her. She was also flexible with me adding extra days to the beginning and end of my booking.”
“Erica did a great job taking care of our Lucy while we were gone for five days. She was reliable and showed up every day, twice a day to care for Lucy and always sent us pictures and updates. I would greatly recommend her and trust her again to care for Lucy.”
“Carla was great. I tend to be one of those pet mothers that is very anxious about leaving my dog with others, or even alone for extensive periods of time. I felt at ease this time around and each check-in was in a timely manner. Overall great experience with Carla!”
“Ashley was fantastic with our cat! She was very responsive and communicative with us, flexible when our plans changed, and did everything we could possibly ask. Our cat was in great hands while we were away and was happy as ever after Ashley's visits. We will definitely book her again!”
“Coralie always goes above and beyond to make sure my cat is cared for. I was out of town for over a week on holiday, and she made it so easy and stress free with her care of my cat! She kept an eye on his skin allergies and made sure he was eating normally, and she even allowed me to FaceTime with him a little bit! I’m pretty sure she’s the most professional and kind pet sitter you could ever find. Thank you so much, Coral!”
About: As someone who owns 2 cats and has grown up around 3 dogs, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and certain needs. Whether they are looking to play, go on an adventure, chill out and watch the birds, or meet new friends, I make sure theirs and your needs are met! Experience leash walking, putting on harnesses, dosage-measuring and medication administering, and long-term care. I am currently performing cat sitting full-time, so my schedule is perfect for all types of pet care — no matter the distance! I have helped clients all around the entire DMV from Rockville, Downtown DC, Arlington, Reston and College Park. Morning, day, or night visits are no issue. I stick to the areas that you let me know is ok to access. I stay mindful and respectful of your home while focusing on your pet! I balance out the time for play and completing tasks, such as changing food/water.
“Hailey was great with Whiskey! I needed a later walk due to working over night and she was very accommodating! She was great with sending me updates as well. Would highly recommend.”
About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by house periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.
“Katie did a great job with taking care of my dog while we were away. On time, gave her meds, and send me a bunch of cute photos. I will definitely ask her to next time I am away, and I would recommend her to anybody! Thank you!”
“I seriously owe Danielle and company everything! We had a death in the family and had to leave town last minute. She wasn't even available on the app because she was getting surgery and she still managed to hobble over and take care of my kitty cats. Her mom was in town and she showed her mom what to do, because we've used danielle many times before, and everything was perfect. Just goes to show you that she will get it done. I got picture updates and everything went beautifully. I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hillandale
Joe took wonderful care of our cat Sunday. He sent so many amazing photos and bonded with our weird cat pretty quickly. He checked in each day with us daily to let us know how our cat was doing. He’s very responsive and very responsible and we really appreciate the fact that we have someone to trust with our cat. Thanks Joe.
Ashley did a great job caring for our cats! The first time she came over to meet our girls, she asked really thoughtful questions about them and their routine. This told me she really cared about what she was doing and our cats were in good hands. She did a great job taking care of our kitty that gets medicine, and was able to adapt when our girl wasn't being super cooperative. We always got lots of cute pictures, and great updates on their Rover cards that made us less homesick. I feel like I can look forward to more trips, knowing that Ashley did such a great job with our fur babies!
Nichole is a wonderful pet sitter! Our pets were well cared for and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. Great communication, dependable, and clearly someone who genuinely loves animals. We came home to happy, well-loved pets! We will absolutely book Nichole again next time we’re away.
Katie is fantastic! She was an excellent care giver when a crisis arose. Mcat passed away in her care due to underlying conditions none of us knew about. Her quick response to get him to the er vet and contact my emergency contacts was amazing. I was out of reach at the time due to timezone differences. She did a great job handling such a difficult situation. I absolutely would hire her again.

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.
