“We used Crystal for our senior cat. We would definitely use her again. She was so kind to our Tucker, gave him insulin shots, loved on him, and made us feel real comfortable leaving him behind. She sent us pictures and texted with us daily. That was a great reassurance. So she's worthy of a 5 star rating to us!!!”


About: I’m a retired professional who has cared for both dogs and cats when my kids were away at college. This included feeding, playing, and keeping up with training. Although I am new to professional pet-sitting, I’m reliable and committed to the happiness and wellbeing of your beloved pets. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available any day of the week, 8am to 6pm. I am familiar with caring for both dogs and cats. My previous experience includes feeding, playing, walking, and training regimes like crate training and potty training.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been around both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone keep them company, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of affection, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members and provide them with the loving care they deserve! I am currently a stay at home (soon to be) mom so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for drop in visits 3 times a day. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them happy, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routine. During each drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m happy to take them on walks to help them get the exercise and enrichment they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.
“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals, which taught me how to read their body language and understand their needs from a young age. On top of that, I bring six years of professional dog grooming experience to my pet sitting. This means your pet isn't just getting a companion—they are staying with a professional who knows how to handle coat care, spot skin issues early, and keep anxious dogs calm and comfortable. Our daily routine starts in the morning with a quick potty break, followed by individual feedings so everyone can eat safely and at their own pace. Afterward, we head out for our morning walk or yard play while energy is high, followed by a quiet midday nap/relaxation to let food safely digest. Throughout the afternoon, your dog will get another bathroom break, a professional coat brush-out to check skin health, and some mental enrichment like puzzle toys or lick mats. As we transition into the evening, we serve dinner according to your exact instructions and burn off any remaining energy with a fun sunset play session. Finally, at night, we wind down with plenty of couch cuddles in a true home environment before a final potty break and a peaceful, secure lights-out. Every pet in my care receives individualized attention focused on their physical safety and emotional well-being. I design a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can relax, ensuring their unique routines are strictly followed to prevent anxiety. By carefully reading their body language, I respect their personal boundaries and use gentle, patient interaction to build genuine trust at their own pace. Safety is always my top priority, which means I maintain secure environments, supervise all activities, and use my professional handling skills to keep every situation controlled and peaceful. Your pet will never be rushed or forced into interaction, giving them the secure, comfortable home-away-from-home experience they deserve.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was a baby and i’ve always loved being around them. I was always the designated caregiver in my family for our animals. I’ve had my own cats since I was 12! I absolutely adore getting to know any animals personality! Watching animals and being surrounded by them makes me feel like me. My job at Fedex is overnight from 8pm to around 8am! I’m typically available from 8:30am - 7:30pm, it just depends on how late our flights come in. Feel free to message me and ask about my availability, I always try to be super flexible! I have two cat carriers for my own cats that I can use if need be. I am also familiar with crate training! Whatever your requests are, I would be happy to abide by them. I also have a wet vacuum I can bring over in case there are any accidents that happen!
About: I’ve happily taken care of dogs of any kind, inside their homes for family and friends for 10 years. I have house sat and done drop ins too. I am currently working full time but we will be home with the pups all evening. I am also able to stop in on my lunch breaks to do mid day potty breaks and some play time. On weekends my availability is much more open and I will be able to spend lots of time playing and spending time with the pups. I have 4 dogs of my own at home that I care for and love with my family. I will show the same love and care for your pets as I do with my fur babies!
“Kyla is so contentious - she kept me posted when her schedule altered from our requested times. I appreciate her great communication. I will certainly use her again in the future.”

About: I have grown up my entire life around pets and animals of all varieties. Dogs, cats, Parakeets, and even hamsters. I have learned and grown to love and care for animals because I view them as family, not just pets. I have walked dogs and have house sat for many years and am considered experienced with most forms of care and service to pets such as dogs and cats I work a full time job as a social studies educator where I teach seventh grade through 12th grade world, history and government classes. Teaching is my absolute passion and I love working with kids of all ages To help guide them towards helping them become better versions of themselves every single day! Teaching may be my passion, but I love working with animals on the side when I have spare time. I am free on weekends, most evenings, and free almost the entire summer. I am easily and readily available for evenings and even summers to take care of your furry friends while you may be away for longer periods of time! I currently live in a single bedroom apartment with only one furry firmed if my own. He is a 6 year old American Short-Hair who is the sweetest of kitties and my entire world. I adopted him when he was just a month old and he has been with me his whole life. My apartment is located next to nearby parks and grassy areas for walks and exercise. My apartment is also smoke-free and is in a pet-friendly neighborhood with quiet streets and friendly neighbors.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,183 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Joppa. 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
