About: I’m new on Rover, but not new to taking care of animals. I have my own cat, Friday, and have watched friends’ pets over the years. I’m currently working remotely, and I’m happy to wake up early or stop by after work to check on your pet. I can also arrange for lunchtime check ins. I ensure doors and windows are all closed or locked as needed and any necessary food and water are set out. I also make sure to put away any excess food or item the pet might get to.
“Gabrielle was amazing!! She took such good care of my 2 cats. Even when she was sick for a few days, she still made sure to take care of them well. I would highly recommend her as a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Ivan was great and flexible with our needs. We handed him the key last minute and he was very understanding about it. When we were away our pet camera got disconnected and Ivan helped us by reconnecting and even taping it up again so we could look at the cats through the cam.”
“Jenna always arrives on time (or a little early) and takes great care of my large puppy, Pumpkin! Jenna has been taking care of Pumpkin since Pumpkin was ~3 months old and she’s now over 9 months. Jenna is kind, reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommend! PS Jenna is very responsive also. 5 star!”
“10/10! They responded very quickly when I had to last minute find a dog sitter! Bowen loved them and I am super thankful!! Would definitely book 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!”
“Sun was so attentive and caring to my baby girl and was able to administer her medications easier than I usually do 😂 they also provided super detailed cards and took lots of pics 📸 overall. Had a wonderful experience and was able to vacation in peace ♥️”
“Julie was fantastically communicative and flexible while taking care of my cats. She ensured both of my one year old kittens were safe and warm, and gave me peace of mind that everything was in good capable hands while I was out of town. I’ll definitely be keeping in touch with her for future needs!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets in my community, including seniors and those with medical & behavioral needs. I’m new to Baltimore and new to Rover, and I’d love to use my skills to explore the city with your pet! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I am also free most evenings after 5:30, and I’m open to overnight stays. I currently cannot offer hosting pets in my home, but when I care for your pet, I truly care. I want to know their individual needs, and I know that good communication goes both ways: you can always count on updates (& cute pictures) of your pet!
“Sylvia was wonderful!! Provided great information and photos. The cats loved her, they don't usually come out for sitters but they adored her and it was clear she made an effort to cultivate a relationship with them. I definitely plan to book with her again.”
“Perfect cat sitter! I couldn’t ask for anything more. Helped when my one cat was ill, had the best communication and gave them lots of snuggles and love and attention. Would recommend to anyone, your pets will be safe and happy with Ned!”
“Kathleen was great, very communicative with us which was amazing! We trusted her with our babies and would definitely have her watch them again!”
“Grace did a very good job of feeding and playing with our cat and giving him affection. Our cat is very fond of her so we felt completely reassured that our cat was happy when we were gone.”
“Vita was very professional and courteous. She went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were taken care of. Would 100% recommend for a home visit, especially for dogs that require a little extra care and attention.”
“Nina writes the best report cards! Everyday while we were away we looked forward to seeing what she would write. It was the highlight of our morning and we knew our cat was not only getting fed, but also had the opportunity to play or seek pets. Thank you!”
About: My husband and I are a newly married couple, away from our parents, and our family pets--and we miss them! We are happy to host yours in our dog-loving home, while you're out of town. We excite over having pets in our home. On occasion, friends have asked us to watch over their pets and homes while away for extended periods of time, so although we are new to the site, pet sitting it's not something unfamiliar to us. We live in apartments in the Wilde Lake area. There are sidewalks and space in the back of our complex plenty of space for play and for your dog to do its business. We hope you will book us so your dog can enjoy unlimited love and attention.

Reposting my review for all to see - Dan has been someone I trust my life with for many years now. He has taken care of my two cats every time I go away for vacation or visit family, and I have never felt more secure about leaving my fur babies! The love, attention, and play that they receive from him is something that will not be found elsewhere. Dans love for animals is a compassion that is rare, and I’m grateful to have him look over my animals when needed. Look no where else, he is the one you need for your animals!
Sarah is hands-down the best pet sitter we have ever hired! We left our dog Everest and cat Eli in her care for the weekend, and she provided total peace of mind from start to finish. Her drop-in visit cards were so thorough, thoughtful, and filled with photos. She made sure Everest got plenty of exercise playing fetch (even improvising indoors when it rained!) and gave Eli so much love and playtime with his favorite wand toys. She paid close attention to every detail of their routines, feedings, and treats. We came home to very happy, relaxed pets.
I had a great experience with Margaret! She was kind, communicative, and attentive to my 3.5 month old kitten. She was flexible about the timing and spent the full visits playing with her, feeding, and cleaning her litter. She also sent photo updates, which made being away much easier. My kitten was happy and well cared for when I got home. I really appreciated her help and would book again!
Rebecca is an amazing cat sitter! She is so kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive. When my cat's automatic feeder stopped working, she handled it right away—making sure my cat got fed and fixing the machine herself. Knowing my cat was in such caring and capable hands made my trip stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Mount Vernon on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,155 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mount Vernon. 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 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.
