“Virginia is the best! She takes such good care of our kitties and gives them a lot of love whenever we are out of town. We've booked her twice and she's been really great at communicating and sending photos.”

“Corina was great! She come over for an introduction and you can tell that she loves dogs! She was very easy to work with and flexible in meeting times. She came over and let my dogs out as promised and took great care of my pups. My dogs really seemed to like her too!”


“Kelly was great about taking care of my babies. She gave me updates and sent pictures. I was surprised that she actually managed to get a pic of all four cats one day as they are very skittish. She is simply lovely and I would recommend her to anyone and employ her services again in the future.”

“Sara was wonderful! She kept us well informed throughout the entire process and was always quick to respond. She checked in the day before, which I truly appreciated and helped ease some of my nerves. After each visit, she sent a detailed report along with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were so grateful for her excellent communication and the thoughtful care she provided. I would absolutely recommend Sara to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pets.”

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs of all sizes, energies, and breeds! From energetic puppy playtime and structured neighborhood walks to cozy senior snuggles, I know exactly how to keep your pup happy, safe, and thoroughly entertained. Hello. My name is Tricia and l bring more than nine years of professional veterinary medical experience, along with many years of caring for animals in my own home, as well as the homes of others. My experience includes dogs and cats as well as ferrets and a variety of small companion animals, giving me a broad understanding of different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. What sets me apart is not only my professional animal-care background, but the way I approach the animals entrusted to me. I believe animals deserve to be treated with patience, kindness, respect, and compassion. I do not believe in forcing or intimidating an animal into compliance. Instead, I pay attention to what each individual animal is communicating and work to help them feel safe and comfortable in my care. My veterinary experience has also taught me to be observant. I understand the importance of noticing changes in an animal’s behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or general demeanor that someone without a medical background might overlook. I am comfortable caring for animals with a wide variety of needs and understand the importance of following an owner’s instructions carefully. I am mature, dependable, and responsible, and I understand what it means to have someone trust me with both a beloved animal and access to their home. I have reliable transportation, can offer flexibility with scheduling, and may be available with relatively short notice. Whether your pet is outgoing and immediately wants to make a new friend or needs a little more time and space to become comfortable, I am happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for you to have peace of mind while you’re away and for your pet to feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. I have one dog named, Cooper and two kitties named, Luna and Liebchen! I am comfortable watching your pet(s) in the clients home, preferably. Definitely cats, as mine get stressed out around new cats.
“Crystal was so sweet and kind! She sent many photos and videos of our cat and even offered to go above and beyond our expectations. Overall, she was a great sitter and this was honestly the best experience we’ve ever had on Rover. Highly recommend!!!”


“Cayleigh took excellent care of my cat, Truvy, while we were on vacation! My favorite thing she did was send a picture of Truvy each time she checked in on her, which gave me peace of mind that everything was ok. Having not heard of this service before, I was a little unsure, but Cayleigh went above and beyond my expectations. She is very personable, friendly, and did exactly what she said she would do. I highly recommend Cayleigh!!”

“Jana does a great job and we will continue to utilize her for our pet sitting needs! She is a great communicator and her messages always make me laugh. I can’t compliment her professionalism and consistency enough.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals, primarily dogs, since I was a little girl, around age 5. I was raised with coonhounds and a beagle and enjoyed helping to feed and bath our coonhounds. I would show our coonhounds in dog shows and I had no issues handling a bigger breed. My beagle was my house dog and best friend and went everywhere with me. I am currently a dog mom to two beagles. Ringo, age 13, and Jakey, age 10. I recently rescued Jakey from Nittany Beagle Rescue, and I am a volunteer dog walker with the organization as well. Prior to Jakey, I had a rescue beagle named Brewski. Brewski had back issues and as he got older, he required a doggie wheelchair to help with his outdoor mobility needs and required doggie belly wraps for incontinence issues. I currently work so I am available any time on the weekends to care for your pet. I am also available most evenings beginning around to walk your pet. I currently use a leash for my dogs, or a tie out when they need to go out to the bathroom. I do not currently crate my dogs, but have crated them in the past.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since childhood. I have gained extensive experience of dogs throughout my unique time as a dog handler. Through dog showing I've learned about dogs basic necessities, grooming, and diverse behaviors. This opened many doors for me to be a trust worthy dog and cat sitter for strangers, friends, and family! As a full-time college student, pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as a refreshing, rewarding break from my studies.My routine allows me to offer highly predictable and dedicated care:Monday through Thursday: I am in class during the mornings but am completely free for afternoon dog walks, feeding, and drop-in visits anytime after 2:00 PM.Friday through Sunday: I balance a part-time job, but I have structural breaks built into my weekend schedule that allow me to check in on pets, stretch their legs, and give them plenty of love and attention.Because I manage a structured schedule, I am incredibly organized, punctual, and communicative. Taking care of your pets isn't just a job for me—it is my favorite way to stay active and unwind, and I will treat your furry family members with the exact same care and respect that I give to my own education and commitments. For stay in’s I will be in the client's home, keeping the pet's routine as normal as possible. Responsibilities include feeding and watering, walking, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and providing companionship. I also maintain the home by collecting mail, watering plants, and managing security.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 121 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Howard. 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 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 .

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.
