“Jennifer has been absolutely great. The cats can’t wait to see her. Always on time and will communicate if she can’t be. Knowledgeable about what to look for with senior cats without even asking. She has done house sits for me when I go away and mid day drop ins when I have long work days. My definite go to.”
About: My own senior dog is a rescue who has had special needs throughout her life, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience, compassion, and really paying attention to what an animal is communicating. I’ve learned to recognize their needs and boundaries and understand that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family over the years, and one of the best compliments I hear is, “Our pet seems to really love you!” I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I treat every pet as an individual and give them the patience, attention, and affection they need. I am available for pet sitting, drop-ins or walks around my work schedule - my shifts are between 6-8 hrs Mon-Fri, so your pet will never have to wait too long for me to get back for a walk, feeding, or play time :) Weekends are typically more open and flexible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Having cared for my own rescue dog with special needs for many years, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to an animal’s individual needs. I want every pet in my care to feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, and communicate with you so you know how things are going while you’re away.
“Kathleen came by for a meet and greet with our pup, Poe. She was timely and communicative. She was patient and kind to Poe as they got to know each other. I look forward to having her come by to take care of our dog.”
“I’ve now used Jennifer multiple times and she is always willing to accept my request on short notice and does a great job stopping in and checking on Jax. She even left holiday treats, which is much appreciated. I definitely recommend Jennifer and will certainly use her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Esther and I am a current grad student with multiple years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes in the comfort of their home. I specialize in drop-in visits and overnight stays for pets, whether it’s one on one or if you have multiple fur babies! I have experience with both XL and smaller breeds and multi-pet homes. I currently don’t have any pets of my own (working on it!) but I love volunteering at BARCS in my free time. I do have a full time job that will be transitioning to hybrid soon, but for now I am available for all your early morning/late night and weekend needs! Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I’m currently working full time, with early morning and evening availability. I will be transitioning to hybrid soon that would give me more flexibility with my schedule. I am also available for weekend and overnight services. I understand how big of a deal it is to entrust your pets to others, and I prefer to care for your pets in the comfort of their home following all of your requests and preferences!
“Dorian was great! Our pup is a little shy and doesn't take to everyone quickly, but she was snuggling Dorian by the end of our meet and greet. She gave a nice recap of their playdate and sent a cute picture too. We will definitely have Dorian check on Mocha again!”
“I am so appreciative of Jasmine's care for my dog. My pug is shy and takes a minute to build trust and Jasmine no doubt earned! She moved at the speed of my pug. The updates from Jasmine showed a happy pup that trusted her more and more every day! Can't thank Jasmine enough! Highly recommend!”
“First time using Rover and Heather was wonderful. We appreciated her being patient and flexible with us. Our babies were well taken care of and we hope to be able to use Heather’s services again in the future ?”
About: Most of my pet care experience comes from caring for cats, including daily feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming support, and monitoring behavior and health. I’m very patient and attentive to each cat’s personality and comfort level. I also have some experience caring for dogs and can handle basic walks and feeding routines. I’m a full-time college student with dependable evening availability during the weekdays and open availability from Friday through Sunday. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give pets consistent, on-time care. Evening visits work especially well for feeding, litter care, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m fully available for weekend bookings. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and routine when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow all instructions, keep food and litter areas clean, double-check doors and locks, and provide updates after each visit so owners feel reassured.
“Kelly takes such great care of our pets and is always great at recognizing when something isn’t quite right with our cat. She is very responsive and accommodating to schedule changes that inevitably happen when traveling.”
About: I’ve owned senior animals that have needed meds. I give medications and take care of peoples animals daily as an icu vet tech. I’m relied on to take care of everything from stable to critical animals. I currently work full time but only work 3 days a week and could use something to do in my free time. Taking care of animals is something I love to do. I can do anything that is needed to be done from giving insulin to walking your animals. If you need a litter box cleaned or a cat to be pilled that’s not a problem either.
“Maria was so kind, responsive, and thorough providing care for our dog. She was prompt, asked questions when needed, and made us feel comfortable that our pet was taken care of! We were in a pinch, and she was quick to get back to us! We’d definitely recommend her and ask her to care for our pet again.”
“Bridget is great with our dogs, she takes such good care of them! She was able to help us out on very short notice, and did a wonderful job taking care of all 4 of our dogs, and followed our instructions to the tee. Very quick to respond, and good with communicating during the check ins as well, we got lots of photos so we could see the dogs were doing well. A+ sitter, will be booking again!”
“We have enjoyed working with Samauria so far! She came by for a meet and greet first, which we feel is very important. Our pup Poe was loving on her from the start, appreciating the scratches and belly rubs given. They had their first visit today and all went well. Samauria was communicative and save for a tiny house alarm kink, she followed all our instructions. She even alerted me to Poe’s excitement outside that irritated her paws because of the ice. I greatly appreciate her efforts with that. We look forward to future visits and a weekend stay coming up.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and health needs for over 10 years. My love of animals is vast and there is not one that I haven't loved instantly. I love long walks with my animals and would love to do that with yours as well. If you board with me just know your fur babies will have the most comfortable, safe, and loving experience with me! I can't wait to meet you both. Feel free to use my referral code for $20 off your first booking with me! (NEEJ82902, https://www.rover.com/sit/neej82902) I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to care for your pet. The flexibility of my work day allows me the ability to manage pet care that is pet and owner centered. I have an un fenced yard and many schools and parks within walking distance. I also have a cat and a dog who would love to keep your furry friend company!

Kathleen was beyond fantastic - super friendly and accommodating in every way. Her communication was great throughout, and she offered to take care of extra things for my cats that she saw might be needed as they popped up, which I really appreciated. This was my first experience using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I'll definitely be booking with Kathleen again and 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, responsive and responsible to help take care of your furbabies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Middle River on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
