“Maura took great care of my fur baby and provided plenty of pictures throughout their time together. Layla is very shy but Maura was able to get her to warm up to her! Thank you again”
“Amazing cat sitter! She took wonderful care of my cat while I was away and provided daily photos and great communication. Looking forward to booking again next time I have to travel!”
“Erica does an amazing job taking care of my cat! My cat has medical issues and requires oral medication (swallows pill whole) and has many supplements that have to be added to her food. Erica handled it all with care and confidence. Erica is also extremely responsive and didn't bat an eye when I handed her my crazy cat lady binder full of detailed instructions, which immediately put me at ease. It gave me so much peace of mind to know my cat was in such capable hands while away. I highly recommend Erica!”
“Teffni has been taking great care of our senior boy Sully! As he’s aged he needs regular check-ins even for short time away. Every time we’ve needed Teffni she’s been available and has handled his weird food issues with no problems! Very grateful to have her around!”
About: I have been working with pets in my neighborhood since I was in 7th grade and have gradually gotten more involved and invested as years went on. I volunteer with lucky dog animal rescue as well as different local shelters in my area! I have a passion for animals, especially spicy dogs and shy/anti social cats!! I am currently at home working on rehabilitation with my sister and family after she had a large medical procedure. I have a lot of free time within her schedule and am excited to add in some furry friends! Trust and safety are always important. Communication is very important within both sides. I want to work with you to not only ensure your comfort, but your pets comfort too. I look forward to learning all the things important to you and your dogs lives, boundaries and special moments within everybodys needs.
“We rely on Jared for walking our dogs and also for dropping in on our cats when we travel. He stays the whole time and plays with them in addition to feeding them and cleaning their litter boxes. All our pets like Jared.”
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.
“Connie is absolutely the best pet sitter! She took excellent care of my medically complex, geriatric cat while I was away for an extended trip. She managed his special diet and medications, gave him lots of love and attention, and sent photos and updates during the stay. She also took very good care of my home. She was extremely responsive anytime I contacted her and is a consummate professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter for their pets and home!”
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.
“Booked Lilla for cat care while I was away for the week and she went above and beyond to give my kitty the special attention he needed. She also provided detailed reports during her visits so I knew he was doing well!”
“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.”
“Ademide took a great care of our cat. Our cat seems to enjoy her company and she’s not the warmest to strangers! Ademide provided us with updates of videos as well which we really appreciate.”
“I want to share my recent experience with Valeria, who looked after Mr. Lucian, my Bengal cat, while I was away in Colorado. Although Mr. Lucian can get a bit anxious when he's not at home, Valeria sent me regular photos that showed that he settled in beautifully under her care. Valeria is a wonderful communicator and punctual when it came to picking up and dropping Mr. Lucian—a real life saver for someone with a busy schedule like mine. Valeria’s genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially cats in my case, really comes through. Her attention to detail and warmth made me feel confident that Mr. Lucian was in good hands. I will definitely reach out to Valeria first for any future pet-sitting needs, and I highly recommend you consider doing the same.”
About: I’ve been professionally pet sitting for 5 years, and I love giving my attention to dogs and cats! I’m easy-going and would love to chat with you about how to best meet your pet’s needs. I will ensure your pet’s happiness and safety above all else. I understand our pets are just like our children so they should be treated with the same love & care. I can give them medicine as needed or watch out for any concerns you might have. If I watch your animal for an extended period of time, I will send you pictures and updates too! I work in person from 9-5pm daily in Silver Spring but I’m more than happy to take care of your pets before and after though. On weekends, I like to explore the DMV area as much as possible, but I will always make sure your pet’s needs are taken care of first. I always take care of the pets I’m watching before I start work for the day. Every pet is different so there’s not a one size fits all description, but I will make sure your pet is well-loved in your absence.
“Azucena was a great cat sitter for my cats. She is the most well prepared and detailed sitter that I have ever booked. I look forward to having her sit for my cats the next time I need a sitter.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hillandale
Coral took fantastic care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. It was clear from the meet and greet that she's a seasoned cat sitter, and she shared thorough updates for each drop in visit. We'd be very happy to have her care for our cats in the future and highly recommend her!
Matilda is very dependable and conscientious. Our Cat love is very comfortable with her and I can tell because if Milo is stressed, she looses hair on her ears. After being gone over 2 1/2 week and Matilda caring for her, Milo did not loose any hair at all! That might sound silly, but it shows us how much our cat trusts Matilda.
Joe is amazing! My old kitty warmed up to him and connected to him right away. He definitely speaks animals! He was able to get my kitty his inhaler every day while we were gone, and I know that has been challenging with previous sitters. He was very patient and kind with my cat and gave great updates. 10/10 recommend Joe to care for your furbabies.
Rachel has a confident, calm and caring approach to pet care. She is professional, on time and flexible with the needs of each of the dogs and cat (and me!) Rachel took the time to understand each of their personalities and bonded with them, and provided fantastic communication and feed back during the entire booking period.
We had a great experience with Jane! She was reliable, attentive, and took wonderful care of our Buddy cat. I especially appreciated that she made sure she actually saw our cat before leaving each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure everything was okay. We felt very comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Marika checked in on our two cats while we were on vacation. She was thorough in her communications, took great pictures, and gave our cats excellent care. They were peaceful and calm when we got home, a sure sign that they were happy while we were gone. Were very grateful!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hillandale is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.

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.
