“Nataly is an absolutely fantastic sitter! Not only did she take care of the mess the cats made but she also checks on things we don't specifically ask for. Our second time booking her and we will definitely book again 😊”
“Jillian is an outstanding cat sitter!! She took care of my two cats, Hana & Pachi for six days, and she did an amazing job. Jillian is a great communicator. She's very conscientious. She gave my cats lots of love, affection, playtime, and scritches. I will absolutely hire Jillian again!”
“Brianna is an amazing Catsitter! Not only did my cats really love her but she was amazing at sending updates and being attentive towards them and their needs! Will definitely be booking her again for my future cat sitting needs!”
“Kayla did a great job with my cat, Toby! I went out of town for two days and she stopped by and played with him both days and took the cutest photos of Toby. She was very communicative. 10/10 would recommend.”
“HANNAH IS THE BEST - Makes a point to play with our kittens on every visit and even tries to change up the toys based on their interests AND ALSO IS SO GOOD ABOUT CLEANING!! I have never asked or specified cleaning instructions because I didn't them to worry about that stuff but whenever I come back the area where the cats eat (which normally can get very messy) is spotless and all the cat cans are nicely rinsed out and thrown in the recycling bin. Still not something I would require or expect from from her but I ABSOLUTELY appreciate it!!”
“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!”
“Merlin loves Kimmy! I really appreciate her coming by to meet Merlin before she watched him to make sure she knew where his toys and food was. She sent a great review and pictures from her drop-in and I’m confident that Merlin was well loved! Highly recommend and will definitely re-book!”
“The kitties were well taken care of. Appreciated the quick and concise communication and all of the toys she brought for the kitties to burn their energy with! I got some great recommendations for some new toys to buy them! Also appreciated how clean everything was when we came home!”
“Kathleen was a lifesaver. We were away for a day trip and had scheduled her to walk our dog mid-day. While we were on the trip we had an emergency that made it impossible for us to get home to walk and feed our dog that evening as planned. Kathleen was quick to respond and helped us out last-minute for a second visit the same day.”
About: I have a ton of experience with pets, and have assisted with care with several types of dogs as well. I am extremely patient and I love fun, so expect lots of photos and stories of the fun we will have together! As a vegan I love all animals! I have a lot of friends that dogwalk/sit, so I have a lot of experience seeing their routines, and hanging out with their furry friends as well. I had so much fun coming along to the walks and visits I figured I should sign up as well! Just like when I am getting to know new students, warming up to new dogs and cats and rats etc is really exciting and rewarding. Let’s make a connection and a lifelong friendship :) I am a substitute teacher for Baltimore City Schools, so I have a lot of flexibility during the weekends as well as afternoon and evenings! I am all about integrity and having every visit or outing a fun one! Happy to accommodate your furry friend on their turf and explore the neighborhood as well.
“Leah is the best! On top of taking care of my skittish and curmudgeonly cats perfectly, she takes the best photos and has a great sense of humor. I would trust her with my kitties again anytime.”
About: Hi, I’m Emily and I’m new here! I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and now as a young professional, I have one of my own, Maverick, a very spoiled German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees rescue! My passion for pets grew even more when my sister started her own pet services business, Kailey Walks Dogs, in Salisbury, MD. Whenever I have extra time, I head to the Eastern Shore to assist her and shadow her during appointments. It’s given me valuable, hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable working with pups of all temperaments. Having a reactive dog myself, I understand how overwhelming and sometimes isolating it can feel. I’ll always take the time to get to know you and your dog and work with whatever makes them feel safe and comfortable. I can’t wait to give your pet all the love, attention, and pets they deserve! Fun fact: I can say “Can I pet your dog?” in five different languages! Not sure I can think of anything better than spending my weekend around pets! Most of my weekends are wide open. Just shoot me a message and we can figure out a plan! I’m detail oriented and committed to following your dog’s routine and specific needs. I’m also very active, so if your pup loves a high-energy lifestyle, I can definitely keep up! On every walk, I come prepared with treats, water, and dog deterrent spray to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
“Zoe was amazing, taking great care of what can be a difficult and fickle cat. She communicated well and timely, had no problems following feeding and caring directions, and left the house in a clean and orderly manner. Will definitely be using her moving forward.”
About: I have been trusted to take care of family and friends' pets for a longgg time. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of kitties and walking dogs ≽(•⩊ •マ≼ I'm currently working part time in the evenings, so I am available for all your pets needs. So, my preferred is in the day time and overnight stays. I am very conscientious of being in someone's home and I would go above and beyond in terms of dog, cat, (and plant) care!

You can tell Bito truly cares for animals! I was very nervous leaving my cat Nellie but Bito really went the extra mile to put my mind at ease and provide my girl with the love and attention she needed while I was away. I’ll definitely be reaching out again for future bookings!
Cleo took to Eileen immediately during our meet and greet. Eileen has the calm demeanor that Cleo, an older cat, appreciates. With no prompting Cleo parked herself in Eileens lap immediately. I felt very secure leaving Cleo overnight trusting Eileen to spend some time with her in my absense.
Sheila is very patient with my standoffish Siamese girl, Luna. Sheila is understanding and kind with Luna, and often brings over new cat toys for her to try and play with. I always love and appreciate the pictures, too, especially when I’m away from home and missing my kitty. Thank you!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Mount Vernon is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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.

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.
