I have been using for a couple of times now. She is 💯 reliable and I can always count on her to giving loving far to my cat Rin. I wanted a sitter that can give lots of cuddles and love in addition to providing care ( cleaning litter, water etc). She is the person.

About: I've taken care of a family member's dog for 7 years. I frequently go to their house to play with, feed and walk him while they're out of town. I have two tabby cats at home. Brother and sister that my family and I adopted from Luna Cat Cafe. I recently finished Veterinary Assistant classes at CCBC Essex. I did my clincial hours at Ruxton Animal hospital. I love caring for animals of all kinds and I look forward to taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own. My schedule is completely open. So I'm free to pet-sit anytime. My availability is Monday through Sunday. My cats tend to wake me up at 7am. Then after breakfast they go out into the porch. Next I give them their dry food and after they eat I play with them. I always have my eye on the animal making sure their okay. I know their feeding schedules well and when their usually ready to play.

Our second longer trip within the last couple months. Knowing that Mariah was taking care of our animal family was a great relief. We know they’re all well looked after, getting attention and subject to her keen eye for things that might be astray. Constantly doing all she can to help. Thanks and we can look to travel more with no concerns for our pets well being.

Samantha was great and made sure Athena was well cared-for while I was away for a couple of days. She left good updates and was even able to get a picture of my (very shy, usually hiding) kitty.

About: I’ve lived with cats, dogs, and other pets my entire life and have been pet-sitting for neighbors and friends since I was a kid. Huge animal lover and ready to take care of your pet like it’s my own. My work schedule is much less busy over the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby while you’re busy or on vacation! I’m happy to take care of your pets in your home where they are most comfortable. At my home, I have a 3 year old husky to keep your dog company and entertained in our fenced yard. We also have a senior cat in the home.

Having never used a pet sitter for our 3 cats we didn’t know what to expect. After chatting with Stephanie, our minds were set at ease. She did wonderfully with our 3, one of whom needs daily medication. She sent daily updates and pictures. If we need a pet sitter again she would definitely be our first choice!

About: I have taken care of my cousins 3 dogs when they go on vacation for the past 5 years. I have also taken care of a friends two dogs while they were away. I make sure to follow instructions left so that your furbabies have the same schedule and care. My dog has some physical issues and needs more special attention so I understand how important it is to follow routines. I know basic commands with dogs and I am responsible for taking care of your family member. I will work around the owners schedule as best I can. I am a teacher and I’m off for the summer so my availability is pretty open. I will read and follow all instructions provided by owner. I will make sure to follow the pets routine and how the family takes care of their pet(s).

About: Hello, I'm Cori! I currently work as a manager at a preschool, looking for some part-time work. I'm a very active person so I wouldn't mind talking them out for a walk or the backyard to play! I have a very flexible schedule so I can visit your pets multiple times a day if needed. As for my experience, I had dogs and cats while I was growing up and I helped family and friends with dog sitting when needed. I hope you consider me for the position and I look forward to hearing from you. I have open and flexible schedule throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can help same day or plan for days in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, maintain a calm environment, and provide attentive, loving, and reliable care.

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!

Thank you again Samantha for going above and beyond! I will truly reach out to you again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Joppa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Joppa on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,114 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 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 Joppa. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
