About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am a Graduate student, but I manage to take six- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.
“Samantha was amazing, very friendly and reliable. Check ins were on time, and communication was great. Ollie was taken great care of, would absolutely use her in the future.”
“Misty and Fiona took excellent care of our kitties( Cami and Ellie) while we traveled for the past week. The daily report cards and photos made us feel comfortable that they were safe and happy. We recommend them to anyone who is looking for that special person to watch their pet(s).”
“Leslie is wonderful! I feel so much better knowing that our newly adopted dog has a break from the crate while we are at work. I love seeing the photos and detailed updates after her visits.”
“We'll, Elizabeth is just the best! There are not enough superlatives to describe her. Trustworthy, caring, detail oriented, and compassionate. She took care of our puppy as if she were her own. We're prepared to use her over and over again.”
“Alexis was a great caregiver for my sweet, old cat. On the first day, when Kippy did not appear to get her food and meds, Alexis searched and found her hiding place, thus ensuring Kippy got what she needed that morning. Alexis’s kind and gentle demeanor soon made Kippy lose her fear and she began greeting Alexis at the door. I would definitely hope Alexis was available the next time I need Killy care.”
“Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)”
“Ariana took care of our 17 year old cat for over 3 weeks while we were away. We are relatively new to this area and were a little reluctant to let someone we didn't know visit our house and take care of our cat. We feel very lucky for finding Ariana. She did a wonderful job taking care of Dashy and communicating with us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter.”
About: I've been a dog-mom to three very different dogs—a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, and an Indian street dog rescue—over nearly 30 years. They were always part of the family, traveling with us across the world through military assignments and other moves. I've loved and cared for them through every stage of life, from their energetic puppy days to the challenges of old age, gaining plenty of experience with a range of personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to Daisy, my loyal companion of 13 years, leaving a big hole in my heart. I have a hybrid work schedule and very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. Typically, I am available throughout the day Wednesday through Sundays. I am out of the house 8 am - 2 pm on Monday and Tuesdays. I live in a single family home with a small unfenced yard. I am in a residential community with plenty of space to walk and green areas. There are no other pets or kids in the house.
“Shelby was fantastic. It was a pleasure to meet her briefly ahead of the planned visits. She took time to connect with the pups so she wouldn’t be “stranger danger” to them, asked about likes and quirks, and from the pics, they had a blast with her. Super communicative and we had a great, worry-free time knowing they were in her care. Thanks, Shelby! We’ll be booking again!”
“Sheila was fantastic, taking wonderful care of our sweet dogs while we went away to visit family. She arrived promptly and shared photos of each visit so we knew that they were happy and safe! We received a few packages while away and she brought even a really heavy one inside for us!!”
“Maegan was fantastic! She showed up on time, everytime which is far different than sitters we have had previously. She was great with our dogs and they seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed her visits! Strongly recommend her!”
“Alex was so amazing with our three cats. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, gave them lots of love and attention, and was able to give my elderly cat her medicine. Alex sent updates and pictures throughout our trip. The kitties were all healthy and happy when we returned. We will definitely use Alex again!”
“Cindy takes such good care of our dog. As he gets older it’s so much harder to leave him but she communicates with us so well and I know he is in such good hands while we are away!”
“Per usual, Sara was wonderful and very communicative while dropping in on our 3 cats for a couple of days. We know the house and animals are always in great hands with her!”
“Sophia was prompt and followed all instructions! Our cats seemed to like her and she was very gentle with them. When we had an issue with our door not opening she was responsive and went back a second time to make sure our girls were cared for. We will be using her services again. Thank you Sophia!”
About: I am intuitive with animals and tend to bond effortlessly with them. I have experience with dog walking, puppy training, and house-sitting. I truly care about animal welfare and strive to make sure your pets will be safe, happy, and healthy in my care. I work from home and I have extra time and energy to burn between editing and I'd love to spend them caring for your pet! I strive to be informed of pet safety at all times; includes fully supervised outdoor time, keeping aware of surroundings, and medication schedules. I also have experience with crating.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From the time I was little, pets have always been part of my life—and I know just how special they are to a family. That’s why I treat every pet like my own. I’m calm, careful, loving, and reliable. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or taking your pup for a walk, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also leave your home just the way I found it—clean and respected. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs, routines, or quirks, and I’ll always communicate openly so you feel at ease while you're away. I’d be honored to give your pet the love and attention they deserve and give you peace of mind in the process. Let’s chat about how I can best support you and your furry family member—I can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make space in my schedule—especially on weekends and holidays—to be available for walks and drop-ins. During the summer, my schedule is more flexible, so I’m available throughout the day. During the school year, my availability shifts more toward evenings and weekends. I plan ahead to ensure each visit gets my full attention, and I’m always happy to adapt my routine to meet a pet’s specific needs. Being around animals is something I genuinely look forward to—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, or favorite toys. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed and always keep pets leashed on walks unless directed otherwise. I stay calm and attentive, especially around other animals or unfamiliar environments, to keep your pet safe. My goal is to make sure your pet feels secure and happy while giving you peace of mind.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ijamsville
Misty did a great job of taking care of our two kitties! Reliable and communicative, she was able to cater to both their personalities to make sure everyone was comfortable! She was even able to make our shy cat warm up to play time. Would be happy to use her again :)
We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth! She was incredibly communicative, always on time, and left everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, she took excellent care of our kitties and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter!
We recently booked Mikayla to care for our two cats while we were away, and she did a fantastic job. One of our cats is very social and easygoing, while the other is much more anxious and cautious with new people, so I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new. Mikayla handled both of them so thoughtfully and professionally. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly paid attention to the details of their care. We came home to two happy and well cared for cats, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. I also really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.
Ariana took care of our 17 year old cat for over 3 weeks while we were away. We are relatively new to this area and were a little reluctant to let someone we didn't know visit our house and take care of our cat. We feel very lucky for finding Ariana. She did a wonderful job taking care of Dashy and communicating with us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter.
Haley took wonderful care of our two kitties, Miami and Virginia, through drop-in visits. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly caring, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Haley, for taking great care of them. We would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to work with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ijamsville on Rover is $22.34 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,845 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ijamsville. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ijamsville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
