About: I'm semi-retired but really like helping people out. I know having pets can be stressful when you are away. I am here to make it less stressful and let you enjoy your vacation or focus on your work while you are away. I am semi-retired so I am flexible most days of the week (within reason as I do maintain a tech consulting firm). Weekends are possible, again, with enough notice and based on my own travel schedule. My wife and I have two cats, and when people come to check in on our cats, we expect them to be attentive to the whole house. Is water running? Does anything look amiss? A pet sitter is your eyes and ears...even if you have cameras all over your house. Having a dependable person visit your house lets you enjoy your vacation or give you peace of mind during the workday.

“Rene is absolutely fantastic. She was always prompt, diligent and so caring for our cat. This was our first time leaving Milo. Rene immediately put us at ease. She communicated constantly. She came prior to the scheduled visits to meet Milo, who loved Rene instantly. During the visits, Rene sent us pictures of Milo. She did “all the things” (litterbox, food, water etc), probably more carefully than we do at home haha. Rene even brushed Milo, which was above and beyond. We are so happy Rene took care of our pet. We can’t say enough good things about Rene.”

About: I am new to Maryland, I am originally from Greenville SC! I grew up there my whole life. I developed a loyal clientele over the span of 5 years. I started with neighbors, their friends, their friends, and so on. I was very happy with the level of networking I was able to accomplish, I am excited to enter a new state and meet your sweet furbabies. I am a full time nanny, I work 6am-9am then return to work from 3pm-8pm. I would be able to provide overnight care, be with them during the day (walks, affection, and up to 5 hours of attention). I don't work on weekends, so I am fully avaliable. I am not able to provide housing for animals where I live, becuase of my landlord. As for in the clients home, I like to come and meet the animals before accepting the job. I meet the pet with the owner present to show them I am safe and welcome. If a written care packet is not provided, I bring my own notebook to document routine and special care. I strive to keep their routine the exact same, while building a bond with your pet/s. I write and keep track of everything ahead of time so when the client is out of town/ busy they will only recieve photos (upon request) and/or emergency situations.

About: I love animals and have pets of my own. I have experience with pet sitting animals of all sizes. I also finished a class in assistance dog training and also volunteered at a puppy development center. I am very active so I will have no problem maintaining larger dogs. I also love walking and playing with pets to provide enrichment and enjoyment in their lives. I am currently home for a longer break. I go back to school on the 11th of January. I am very flexible during this time. I am dedicated to providing quality care for your pet, as well as giving you peace of mind that they are in good hands. I understand that a pet is like family so I will strive to treat any pet that is under my care like my own.

About: Ive been taking care of a four year old Rottweiler and frenchton since they were two weeks old. I have experience with handling and training a reactive large dog as well as handling a small dog with strict personal boundaries. I take care of a variety of animals regularly. I take care of a cat every day by playing with her, feeding her, and cleaning her litter box. Every night before bed I do 10 to 15 minutes of playtime to wear her out for the night. I do pet care for dogs as well, I take them on walks, play with them, give them attention they need, and feed them as well as make sure they have water at all times. For one of my clients, I watch their border collie. He needs extra activity and playtime because the breed tends to be very energetic. I take him out on walks, take him to the neighborhood dog park, and I play with him and his toys inside the apartment. I feed him twice a day, once in the morning, once at night. He let's me know when he needs to use his grass mat outside. Another one of my clients, her dog has separation anxiety and needs lots of attention. I also spend time playing with him, taking him on walks outside, and feeding him twice a day. He is different because he has lots of boundaries, but is a very cuddly and loving dog overall.

About: We grew up with cats and have been cat lovers our entire lives! We currently have three cats of our own, Sophie, Milky, and Yolkie, who are truly part of our family. Over the years, we’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience caring for cats of different personalities and needs, including administering medications and looking after sick cats. We understand how important it is to pay attention to the little details, from changes in appetite and litter box habits to subtle differences in behavior. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or loves cuddles, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We’re happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications, and anything else your kitty may need. We know how stressful it can be to leave your cats behind, so we’ll treat them just like our own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages. Your cats’ happiness and well-being will always be our priority! Taking care of your pet is my full time job no matter the day or week. Unlike many others, I am able to make sure that your pet has my attention 24/7. We are in a 3 story townhome with plenty of space to explore! Your pet is allowed to roam anywhere they please inside and the entire house is pet-friendly.

About: I’ve cared for my own fur babies for the past 15 years—from playful puppy days to their sweet golden years—and I’ve loved every stage. Now that I’m recently retired, I spend lots of time with my two pups, Piney and Blossom, but I still have plenty of love, energy, and attention to share. I enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying active, and I’d be thrilled to share that with your four‑legged family member. I have hands-on experience with puppy training as well as providing extra support and gentle care for senior dogs. All of our dogs joined our family as puppies, and several required daily medication. Our oldest, Pogo, had heart issues as a pup, and I cared for her throughout her life—managing her medication and making sure she had every comfort she needed as she aged. I truly believe animals give unconditional love and are the best mood boosters at the end of a long day. I’d be honored to share that same love and care with your furry family member. I’m retired, up early every day, and stay active by walking and playing with my two dogs. I’m looking to share that same energy, attention, and love with additional pups who would enjoy extra companionship and outdoor time. My yard is fully fenced, and I always clean up right away after potty breaks to keep the space safe and tidy. At home, I keep fresh water available on both floors so my pups can stay hydrated wherever they choose to relax. For senior dogs or those who need a little extra help, I have a ramp and dog steps so they can comfortably get onto the couch or bed and feel right at home. I will provide the same services and dedication to your home and dog(s)

About: What truly sets my service apart is the depth of my experience and my advanced medical skill set, which aligns closely with the hands-on training of a veterinary technician. For over 35 years, I have dedicated myself to caring for dogs and cats. My pet sitting experience covers everything from the joy of playing and bonding with active pets to the gentle care needed for senior animals and those with special needs or medical conditions that require medication. Caring for animals is not just a job for me—it is my entire life, my primary focus, and how I structure my days. Because pet care is my full-time devotion, my daily and weekly routines are built entirely around the schedules, medical timelines, and comfort of the cats in my care. Cats thrive best in their own familiar environments. To eliminate the severe stress of boarding or travel, I work exclusively inside your home. My safety protocols are designed to keep your home clean, secure, and running smoothly according to your exact instructions, while fully respecting your private property and making sure your kitty has a wonderful, fun time while you are away.

About: I had a dog, her name was Kenya from 8-15 and she unfortunately passed from health conditions. She was a family dog I’ve known and looked after since I can remembered, my cousin gave her to me and my mother when they moved. As she got older, me and my mother had to give her medication for a couple months before, paying close attention to her habits during her later months :/ . I currently have a small, short-haired grey Cat named Sonny. I visit my cousin frequently throughout the month and I always offer to walk her dog because I enjoy walks! I’m currently working as a full time ortho assistant Mon-Thursday, Usually leaving the office around 4:30 pm. Fri-Sun I’m completely free. For overnight stays during my work days, I am willing to travel from your home to my job, leaving in the early mornings After consulting with future clients, I’ll keep track of any dietary needs, special care instructions and any indicator habits I should know about prior to servicing your fur baby!❤️

About: Growing up around animals gave me a lifelong love and appreciation for them, especially dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals with different personalities, routines, ages, and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have several years of experience providing pet care for families through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I also volunteer with a local animal shelter and have assisted with animal care in my community. I understand that every pet is different. Some are energetic and social, while others may be shy, anxious, older, or simply happiest following their familiar routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting and can accommodate both recurring and occasional care. I do my best to maintain each pet’s normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routine so they experience as little disruption as possible while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, household rules, and security. I respect your home and keep your pet’s environment clean and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If I notice any unusual behavior or changes in your pet’s well-being, I will communicate with you promptly.

About: With over seven years of professional experience in animal care, I’m passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care for every pet I meet. My background includes managing a busy doggy daycare, working as a veterinary assistant in a veterinary hospital, earning my PetSmart Pet Care Certification, and providing dependable in-home pet sitting for families. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable administering medications and recognizing signs that may require extra attention. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, overnight care in your home, daily walks, playtime, or extra TLC, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, overnight stays, or last-minute drop-ins, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I believe pets thrive when they receive consistent care and attention, and I have the time to make sure they get exactly that while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, I’ll make sure they receive the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own pets. I understand that every animal has unique routines, preferences, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. In your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, provide plenty of updates with photos, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll have a clean, safe, and calm environment with constant supervision, plenty of enrichment, exercise, fresh water, and lots of affection. With my background as a doggy daycare manager, veterinary assistant, and professional pet sitter, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior or health, administering medications when needed, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pet, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands while you’re away.

About: I personally have 4 cats and have taken care of them for more than 10 years. I've also taken care of my friends' dogs. They relied on me to feed and take good care of them. I'm a junior in college and have plenty time over the summer. I'm available taking care of pets overnight. I prefer weekdays but sometimes I can also do weekends. There is a lake near my house and I can take them for a walk at there. I have a deck to ensure their safety. My family loves animals, which keeps them company.

Amy was excellent at watching our senior cat, who required medication twice a day. She was extremely attentive and responsive to his needs, especially his picky preferences for receiving as an older cat. We really appreciated her help and time to be able to make so many frequent visits and would rebook Amy again in the future.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Laytonsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 8,349 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Laytonsville. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laytonsville. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
