“We always book Cathy Jo and she does such a great job with our cats. Even our very shy one is used to her coming around, which helps a lot with lowering his anxiety 🖤”
“Brianna is truly exceptional and has been incredibly helpful! She is fantastic with my dog and responds very quickly. Kai adores playing with her. I highly recommend her to anyone who asks.”
“Farnaz was awesome! She provided detailed updates and great pics of my kitty. She really went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”
About: I have many years of personal experience caring for cats, including senior cats and cats with chronic health conditions such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. My experience includes following detailed feeding and care routines, administering oral and topical medications, monitoring appetite and water intake, maintaining clean litter areas, and watching for changes in weight, energy, behavior and bathroom habits. I have also helped one of my own cats recover from a wound that required consistent cleaning, prescribed topical treatment and close monitoring. That experience reinforced the importance of patience, careful attention and following care instructions consistently, even when a cat is less than thrilled about the process! Caring for senior and special-needs cats has taught me to recognize subtle behavioral changes and respect each cat’s individual comfort level. Some cats welcome immediate affection, while others need time and space to build trust. I never force interaction, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully while adapting my approach to the pet’s personality. My schedule is currently flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon and evening visits based on availability. I keep my service area intentionally small so I can arrive reliably, spend the full scheduled time with each pet and avoid overbooking. Before a first booking, I prefer to meet the pet and review feeding instructions, medication routines, emergency contacts, veterinarian information, entry procedures and any household safety concerns. I follow written care instructions carefully, I will never force interaction with a nervous pet. I'll confirm that doors and entry points are secured, and provide photos and detailed updates after each visit.
“Camila and Luis were the perfect match to keep our cats! We rested peacefully knowing they were in good hands. Camila sent messages, pictures, and videos, which gave us the reassurance that our kitties were happy and having a fun vacay of their own! We would rebook Camila and Luis in a heartbeat, and highly recommend them!”
About: As a Registered Nurse, caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same compassion and attention to detail naturally extends to animals.. I know your pets are family, and I’ll care for them with the same patience, love, and vigilance I’d want for my own. Whether it’s keeping them on their routine, giving medications, or simply providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and companionship, my goal is to keep them safe, healthy, happy, and loved while you’re away so you can have complete peace of mind. I believe your pets deserve my undivided attention. That’s why I only accept one family at a time. My hybrid work schedule allows me to work from home two days per week, and I can often adjust those days to be home even more with your pet. Depending on how far your home is from my office, I am also be able to come home for lunch for walks or playtime. If your pet is happiest in their own environment, I’m happy to provide care in your home. I can care for multiple dogs, cats, or a combination of pets, and I’m also open to caring for other animals. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Every pet is unique, so I’d love to learn about your needs and how I can provide the best care for your furry (or feathered or scaled!) family members. Let’s chat and create a plan that’s perfect for you and your pets!
“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”
“Tanti gave my kitties all the love and attention they deserve while we went out of town. She did a fabulous job! Highly recommend Tanti and will certainly have her watch our kitties again the future”
About: Hi there! My name is Genevieve! I worked at the Richmond SPCA for 4 years. My two pitties at home (Nola and Brick) are leash reactive. With my own dogs and experience of working at an animal shelter I’ve seen almost everything. I have experience with medication administration- injectable, sub q fluids, and oral. I also have experience with behaviors like reactivity, resource guarding, mouthiness, fearfulness, ect. I take a fear free, positive reinforcement approach. My goal is to make sure your pets needs are being met so they feel safe and you feel comfortable and at ease. I have experience with special needs cats as well! I quit my job and went back to school! I can care for your pets before 9:00 am and after 11 am Monday and Wednesday-Friday. I can care for your pet on Tuesdays from 1 pm onwards. I have experience with homes without backyards and am willing to do a walk around the block or whatever it might be for a quick potty break. I always go outside to my fenced in backyard with my dogs to make sure everyone is safe and will do so with yours. Your cats will be kept strictly indoors!
“My cat Charlie was in the best hands! She was punctual, professional, communicative, and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure Charlie got the best possible care. During my week away from home I trusted that my pet was being cared for and I didn’t have to worry one bit. Would absolutely book again and recommend to friends!”
“Madison was great with our 3 kitties!! We call her divas for a reason :) she was punctual and communicative, tended to all their different needs and was kind and caring with them. We came home to happy kitties!”
“Olivia was great! Sent lots of pictures and detailed updates of our pets while we were gone. Made what could be a stressful trip so much better. Will absolutely be asking her to sit again!”
About: I’m someone who genuinely treats pets like family. I have three cats of my own, and I also help care for my brother’s 3-year-old, 90-pound German Shorthaired Pointer/Black Lab mix, so I’m comfortable with both cats and bigger, energetic dogs. I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind. I’m always wondering how my own pets are doing when I’m traveling or even when I’ve just been out of the house for a long day. Because of that, I want to give other pet owners that same peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to send plenty of updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re away! I work from home in Scott’s Addition Monday through Friday, so I’m able to be flexible with pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available all days except Tuesdays, when I’m in DC for work. My workday is 8:30 AM–5 PM, but if you’re nearby, I can often stop in during my lunch break. I’m also available before or after work and on weekends. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and larger dogs, and I’m used to following each pet’s individual routine. I’ll always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for in a clean, calm environment, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos while you’re away.
About: I’ve owned pets my whole life. I have experience with puppies, adult, and senior dogs. Cats as well. Can also administer diabetes shots or similar. I have a 3 year old active dutch shepherd so I am used to long walks and playing fetch etc to ensure both physical and mental exercise. I work full time but do so remotely and can be flexible with my breaks. I will have the most availability Friday-Sunday and then evenings Monday-Thusday. I am great at following clients instructions and preferences. I am available to care for your pet in your home for drop in visits as well as walks.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel Park
Amanda is awesome! I have very shy cats. Amanda took the time to try and get to know them. Even my cat that hides came out for her. Everything was perfect when I got home from my trip. She was very communicative and sent daily pictures. I would highly recommend Amanda!
Jocelyn was great! This was my third time booking her - I’d recommend her to everyone! She helped me feel a lot better about leaving my cat home for a few days while I traveled. She spent lots of quality time with him, played with him, showered him in love, and sent me lots of pictures!! Jocelyn is also very responsive and super understanding!
We absolutely adore Olivia! She is reliable, proactive, and an excellent communicator. She's always responsive and keeps us updated, giving us complete peace of mind while we're away. Olivia consistently goes above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We know our Kitty is in the very best hands with Olivia, and we couldn't ask for a better pet sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet care!
I never hesitate to leave my cat in Kristina's care. He has a heart condition and takes two medications daily. I can always count on Kristina being there. She takes care of everything he needs (pills, food, water, litter box), and provides the petting that he loves, during her visits. You won't regret hiring Kristina!

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.
