“Tabitha was great with my cat who is not often a people person. She consistently gave her play time and tended to the litter box. I would definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve been involved in animal rescue for more than 20 years and currently help with independent rescues and adoptions. I’m also a Certified Veterinary Assistant with extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’m an experienced reptile and exotic pet owner and understand that these animals often require very different care than traditional pets. I’m comfortable working with reptiles, turtles, birds, fish, and other exotic species, including following detailed feeding schedules, habitat and enclosure routines, temperature and lighting requirements, and species-specific care instructions. I understand how important consistency and attention to detail are when caring for exotic pets. My experience also includes dogs and cats of many breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m very comfortable with large and “bully” breeds, including Rottweilers and Pit Bulls, and have personally owned several. I also have experience with bottle babies, senior pets, and animals who require medications or additional attention. I can administer medications, provide nail trims, and assist with a variety of individual care needs. I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, comfort level, and routine. I always take my cue from the individual animal rather than forcing interaction, allowing them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. Because I’m home during the day, I can offer flexible scheduling and may also be available for last-minute or emergency visits. Whether you have a dog, cat, reptile, bird, or a household full of different species, I want you to feel confident that your animals are being cared for by someone experienced, patient, dependable, and attentive. Their safety, comfort, and well-being always come first. I’d be happy to care for your pets and give them the same patience, attention, and consideration I would want for my own. I work from home, so I do have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. Just tell me what time you need, and I'll be there! I can care for animals in your home. Drop in visits and emergency visits are fine. Currently, I am not caring for animals in my home, but I am more than willing to drop by your house a few times a day!
“Lidia rescued my cat from another sitter/bad situation. Knowing that my cat had been traumatized, she was very sensitive to my cat’s needs, was kind, gentle, and also kept me in constant touch and with as many pictures and updates as I needed to feel my cat was safe. 12/10 - Lidia is amazing ❤️”
“Chris was so wonderful, his check ins were very thorough and he responded to me on short notice. I was very grateful to have found him- and so was my cat!”
“Concise communication and great work sitting for Cosmo and Washi. Jun was able to quickly handle a last second request I made on the busy holiday week and the cats were well taken care of!”
About: Note: I live in downtown Baltimore but work in Arlington, VA so housesits in DC/Virginia are ideal. Hi! I’m Serena, a dependable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes. I grew up in a home full of cats and 1 dog and was a proud cat owner for many years. Since then, caring for other people’s pets has become something I truly enjoy. Friends, neighbors, and travelers regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I always work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment. My clients often tell me they appreciate my communication while they’re away. I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident they’re in good hands. Outside of pet sitting, I’m an avid gardener with over 30 indoor plants and a vegetable garden. Because of this, I’m also very comfortable caring for plants and maintaining a home while you’re traveling. At the moment, I am available full-time some weekdays during the day as well as some weekends. Please send me your dates, and I will check my calendar. My Care Style My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During visits I focus on: • feeding and fresh water • litter box or bathroom breaks • playtime and attention • monitoring behavior and wellbeing • maintaining routines your pet is used to I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a proud cat parent to my own cat, I know how much peace of mind matters when you have to leave your furry family members behind. While I'm new to the Rover platform, pet care is second nature to me—back in college, I regularly helped my classmates with pet sitting, looking after both dogs and cats. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat needs some gentle loving attention, I treat every pet with the exact same care and devotion I give my own. Because I work remotely and part-time from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I am basically free and can easily find time for your pet any day or any time. Whether it's a mid-day walk or constant companionship, we can easily figure out a routine that works best for you and your pet! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Whether I am dropping in for pet sitting or taking your dog out for an engaging walk, I treat every pet with the utmost care and respect. As an experienced cat owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to respect an animal's boundaries, safety needs, and home environment. You can count on me for clear communication, reliable updates, and treating your home and pets like my own.
About: I’m particularly fond of taking care of the most finicky and quirky pets with care, firmness and patience. Skilled at administering meds, going for long walks and spoiling with treats. I work per diem, so I have a lot of time to spare with your pet! Available for boarding on the weekends anytime after 2pm. I have a cat tower at home that’s strategically placed in front of a birdfeeder attached to the window. It makes for an excellent front row seat for hours of birdwatching.
About: Hello! My name is Lauren. I know it can be nerve wracking being away from your pet, even if it’s just for a few hours. With previous experience working in a veterinary office and pet care for many years, I want to help! I’ve been able to assist many family, friends, and others over the years and have been around animals all my life. I just moved to Maryland and am getting back to Rover again. I look forward to seeing them and taking care of them as if they were my own. I’m currently looking for a job, so I do have a lot of free time. I am able to help in feeding, walking, and playing. I am very transparent and like to update each visit. We can review what that looks like beforehand. Safety is a priority and I want to make this experience excellent for both you and your pet.
“Rubi met my cat Finn twice before taking him into her care for just over two weeks. She was very communicative and I could tell they bonded instantly. Any time I was worried while I was away, Rubi was quick to send photos and updates of Finn that put me at ease. Rubi is the only person I'll trust with Finn’s care going forward! 😊”
“Eileen was wonderful with Lucy! My shy kitty actually came out with her, which shows what a great sitter Eileen is. She communicated wonderfully, and made this nervous cat mom feel her pet was in good hands. Thanks, Eileen!”

“Esther is THAT GIRL! She is familiar with our fur babies, gentle, respectful of their space and their personalities. This is our second time booking Esther and we plan to book her again, if she’s available. Esther thanks for being amazing and professional. 🙏🏾”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a kid. I grew up with a tabby cat who was with the family for 16 years. I also have a small terrier mix named Jackson who I’ve raised since he was 8 weeks old—he’s 9 now! I also have my baby girl Nestle, who is a 2 year old aussiemo mix. She loves to play, cuddle, EAT, and go on long walks. She also loves to play with other animals and would welcome your pet with open paws! I currently work remotely, so I am home and available to care for your pet everyday. I take my own dog out every 2 hours for fresh air & a potty break. We also get some fun time in between that with the on-site dog park my apartment has. I have plenty of space in my house for pets to reside comfortably. I also have room to crate them if needed. There is a fenced in back yard where I live that will also be great for some fun running around and zoomies

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lansdowne
Bri was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! She asked good questions and took notes when we met initially and was excited to meet the cats. I have a gregarious kitty and a very shy kitty and I was a little worried about leaving him with a stranger, but Bri met him were he was and earned his trust to where he was coming out to the common areas instead of hiding. She even helped feed our stray cat! Can't praise her highly enough. Thank you so much!
Amanda was fantastic! She was very communicative throughout our trip and sent great Rover Cards with detailed updates and photos. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and took a lot of pride in making sure they were happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Amanda and would happily book with her again!
Sarah did an amazing job looking after my ~9 month old cat while I was gone! She sent lots of photo updates to let me know that things were okay, and the my baby seemed very well taken care of. She cleaned the litter box and gave her lots of fresh water, just like I asked. I would definitely use her services again!
Tabitha was great. We were leaving our kitties for the first time ever, and it was for over a week, so I was feeling pretty anxious. Tabitha put me at ease from our first meeting. She was communicative, timely, and did everything we needed. Very appreciative of her!
Mel was absolutely amazing! She was perfect for my crazy zoo! She communicated with me daily, so I always knew what my crew was up to! I had no worries while I was away, because I knew my animals were in good hands! I am absolutely going to rebook her in the future!

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.
