About: Since my original bio, I've fostered sickly bottle baby kittens. I have experience in administering oral medicine and feeding babies, but I also have experience in general care thanks to volunteering at an animal shelter. I'm looking to go to school to be a vet tech, but I'm always researching ways to improve my care. I've taken care of both family and friends' pets since I was little, and I very much love being around and caring for animals. I get along well with any cat, and can also help with bathing if needed. I have plenty of free time, as I'm currently self employed and love getting to play with animals. Cats are my favorite, and therefore I have the most experience with them. I'm very rigid on pet care. Daily litter box cleanings, multiple feedings and making sure water bowls are clean. I'm very laid back as well, so I can give a relaxing atmosphere.
About: When you choose me to care for your pet, you’re choosing a passionate and experienced pet lover who prioritizes not only your pet’s comfort and happiness, but also your peace of mind. I understand how important your furry family member is to you, and I strive to provide them with the same level of care, attention, and love they receive from you. While you’re away, you can rest assured that your pet is in safe, caring hands, with updates provided to ensure you remain connected to their well-being. I have experience caring for younger animals with energetic needs who require frequent playtime. I’ve also dedicated time to caring for senior pets, providing them with gentle exercise, extra comfort, and making any necessary dietary adjustments to support their health and comfort. Currently, I care for a 17-year-old cat who requires more delicate care. Additionally, my background includes working with anxious pets, where I’ve applied my professional clinical experience to soothe, calm, and build their confidence, helping them feel more secure in unfamiliar environments. I work from home and run my own business, so my availability can accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I’m flexible with scheduling and can provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs midday walks or frequent drop-in visits, I’m happy to help make things easier for you. I will offer whatever service and care is most similar to your pets current environment. If you would like them crated, I am able to accommodate. However, if you are more comfortable with your pet having more freedom within your home or my home, I am happy to provide that environment as well!
About: My experience is as a dog walker at a shelter in Maryland. I have two dogs of my own, both rescues, and one of which is a recent amputee!

I can easily take your pup for a walk, spend some time with them or let them out for a potty break while you are away!

“Michele did a wonderful job caring for Takoda! Was very quick to respond, and was able to help us on VERY short notice as our original sitter cancelled. Very kind and attentive to the pups needs, we forgot to put a water bowl in the room our dog was staying in, she asked if that was something he needed. Sent photo updates with each visit which helped us see Takoda was happy and comfortable hanging on the couch with her. He has some anxiety when it comes to other dogs, Michele did a great job of following our special instructions for him to make sure he stayed safe. Was kind enough to collect our mail for us as well, as I had a package delivered while we were gone. Very happy with her services, will definitely book again!”

About: Hi! My name is Emily. I am 18 years old and a huge animal lover! Growing up in a busy household with four siblings, I’m very used to a high-energy environment and know exactly how to stay calm and organized when looking after pets. I love pet sitting because it’s a great way to give dogs and cats the individual attention they need while giving owners peace of mind. Some of my favorite things to do are coaching softball and going to church, so I’m naturally active and love being outdoors for dog walks—but I’m just as happy staying inside to keep a cat company.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Joppa
Fantastic sitter; highly, highly recommend!! Calailah was very kind to our two kitties even when Orion wasn’t very kind to her at first. Orion usually doesn’t like new people but he warmed up to Calailah in one day- the fastest he’s ever warmed up to someone! Will definitely be reaching back out next outing!

The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Joppa is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $25 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.
As of November 2026, there are 700 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 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.

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.
