“Nicole stayed at our place to watch our cat for almost two weeks and did a fantastic job! She was responsive and checked in regularly, and we came home to a happy cat. Our cat is very social and needs a lot of interaction and playtime, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Nicole was looking after him. Plus she took great care of our house and kept our plants alive. We’ll happily call on her again to take care of our cat when we’re out of town!”
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my whole life. I’m especially comfortable with large, energetic dogs and have experience handling dogs with different temperaments and needs. I previously worked at a dog kennel, where I gained hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs, keeping them active, and making sure they were safe and comfortable. I’m confident with long walks, playtime, basic training, and keeping dogs engaged and exercised. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs, so I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am currently unemployed and struggling with mental health so i have all the time in the world to walk, or sit your pets. my cat is the only thing that helps me get out of bed every morning and hopefully your baby’s can help me too. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely get some outdoor time and play. I keep the area secure and supervised, and I’m committed to providing a clean, calm, and safe environment for every pet in my care. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and specific needs.
“Great sitter. Spent time not just feeding but playing with my cat and ensuring he had interaction while I was away. While also being incredibly flexible with my work travel changes, easily earning 5 stars”
About: I have 13 years of pet experience. I love fitness- so I love playfully engaging with furry friends! Also, I was a vet tech in high school, therefore, I am very knowledgeable on their demeanor and evolving needs. I do not accept dog walks that occur past sunset for safety reasons. Currently, I work remotely before starting school- so I’m always home and attentive to your pet’s needs. Unless specified otherwise, I am free during the week and some weekends. I’ve very intuitive to pets needs and cater to their personalities. Because I took vet tech in high school, I have vast experience with pets outside of dogs as well.
About: I grew up with cats and have always loved animals. When I moved to Maryland in 2023, I volunteered with Montgomery County as an animal foster and transport volunteer. In my current work as a senior caregiver, I also regularly care for clients’ dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to provide caring, dependable attention to pets and their families. I currently work during the week, so my availability is primarily on weekends. I would love the opportunity to spend that time caring for pets and giving them plenty of love, attention, and companionship while their families are away. Unfortunately I am not allowed to have any pets in my current rental home, so I am limited to only caring for the animals in their own homes.
About: Hi, I’m Steph! I’m a full time WFH nurse with a passion for animals and I’d love to help care for your fur babies! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, we recently lost our 15 year old kitty but our home is still full of chaos and love with 3 dogs and 3 birds 🥰 Since I’m WFH my schedule is pretty flexible. I do go into the office 2 days a week but if you message me at least a week in advance I can try my best to squeeze you in! I only house sit on the weekends (which is why my schedule is Thursday - Sunday), but I can typically do drop ins any day depending on my schedule that week - just message me first 😊 I’m currently transitioning from working in the hospital full time to working from home so I’ll have a lot more flexibility in my schedule to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’ll care for your pets like they are my own! Any needs or directions I will follow perfectly to make sure your pet is as comfortable with me as possible.
About: Well with 10+ years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats with special needs and medications, anxiety, medical conditions, and unique personalities with patience. Veterinary care is a big part of my daily life. I work as a veterinary technician, so caring for animals, monitoring their needs, and keeping them comfortable is already part of my routine. I provide loving, attentive care in my home or yours, following routines and medications, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and special instructions while keeping pets comfortable.
About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll. Whether it’s a lively adventure or a calm, scenic walk, I treat your furry friend like my own—ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.
“I think Marilyn was really friendly. She definitely gave a lot of information. She has great prices and gave me updates on the cats and anything I needed information on. I would recommend hiring her again.”
“We had a great experience with Natalie! I have two very shy cats who usually don’t trust anyone they don’t know and like to hide. However, they seemed very comfortable with her and even came out from under the bed long enough to get some pets. She always responded to messages quickly and did everything we asked of her. I would definitely recommend her and will also rebook with her in the future.”
About: I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds! not just dogs and cats, but reptiles, rabbits, and many more! I treat every pet like my own, especially by adapting my care to their specific needs, routines, and personalities. I have a turtle and a dog so IM very used to showing love to these attention needing furballs! Everyone deserves a bit of love and I have plenty to go around! I can wash you dog up really nice even give them a trim. I have a dog and a big yard,(it’s not fenced). However, our dogs can keep each other company run around come inside eat snacks and even have cuddle time!
About: I'm new to professional dog walking and eager to grow my experience. I've regularly walked my grandmother's dog, and I love being outdoors with animals. I'm reliable, patient, and will treat your dog with the same care I'd give my own family's pet. I'm happy to follow your routines and send updates along the way. I'm currently in school pursuing my master's degree. At the moment, I'm available on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM for walks, and I'm available from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon for house sitting. I only provide care at my client's home, not my own, so your pet stays in their familiar environment, which I find reduces stress for most animals. When I'm in your home for walks or house sitting, I follow your established routine for feeding, playtime, and walks as closely as possible. I keep a close eye on your pet's behavior and comfort throughout, make sure doors and gates are secure, and send updates or photos so you can check in. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect and attention I'd want if the roles were reversed.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Mitchellville
Nicole was very thorough in her care of our turtle Atlas while we were away on vacation. She sent many pictures, which we cherished, and she made sure all of Atlas' tank structures (UVB light, heat lamp, tank filter), which have failed on us before, were in working order. We had such peace of mind knowing Nicole was looking after our little snoot.
Jessica took great care of Sylvia while I was out of town. It was a last minute booking as everyone I contacted were also out of town. We had a meet and greet super early because of my insane schedule but Jessica and her partner were super accommodating. Would definitely hire again.
Haley was an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, Nami, while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure Nami was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my kitty was in good hands. I would absolutely trust Haley to watch Nami again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Jacki was a great joy to our two cats! We really appreciated her taking the time to get to know them and giving them space when they needed it. She is extremely knowledgeable and she was able to get the both of them to warm up to her quickly! Would recommend!
Valerie did a great job with my kitties. She kept me informed about what they were doing while I was away and sent tons of pictures. I miss my cats when I’m traveling but I know they were in good hands with Valarie and I loved getting pictures and videos everyday.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Mitchellville is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.

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.
