“Taylor did a fantastic job taking care of my cats while I was on vacation! She sent me updates and paid particular attention to both of their unique and shy personalities. I would definitely rely on Taylor in the future to take care of my cats and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Julie did a great job taking care of our cat. She was prompt, reliable and came to visit when she said that she was planning to do so. My cat continues to really enjoy spending time with her. :-)”
“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!”
“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!!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, at the age of 13 I was giving my old furry best friend her medication. I listen very carefully to pet needs and have experience pet sitting for at least 3 years. When entering college, I took the health of my babies more seriously. All pets need love and attention! I am currently a graduate student attending classes Tuesdays and Thursdays. Checking in on your fur baby(s) is no problem! I am happy to help :) I can let your pet out to relieve themselves, feed them, give them medication, whatever you think they need. My fur babies either stay inside or outside depending on the weather. If they stay inside, we set up pee pads for them, and leave them with food and water.
“Dominique did a wonderful job caring for our senior dog Roman and our three cats while we were away. She spent lots of time giving the animals love and sent great check-ins during the trip. She was very attentive to our instructions as well!”
“Katie was so awesome taking care of Cooper and Sophie! She took our request on the day before we had to leave and she was so easy to work with. She put a normally anxious dog dad at peace immediately with how she was able to easily befriend both of our dogs and was instantly chilling with both of them. She was right on time, the pics of the dogs were comforting, and the dogs both looked happy and at peace. I recommend her for anyone that’s looking to have their dogs watched and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
“Nicole takes such good care of our two older kitties and provides great updates on how they are doing. We’re grateful we found her! Thank you, Nicole!”
About: I’ve recently started pet sitting for friends and family and found it very rewarding. At home I am use to looking after my dog Remy who is an 90 pound poodle mix along with my cat Mia. They both are a handful but they are members of the family that have prepared me for looking after others. I am currently attending graduate school and am looking to start work near my home. I am always looking for opportunities to pay my way while helping others. I will work to make time in my schedule to accommodate yours! I always try and be friendly and patient. At home my dog Remy takes medication nightly while also having quiet the personality. His boisterous nature can be hard to rein in but when he is given his time he settles.
About: Growing up, caring for animals wasn’t just a hobby—it was a responsibility I took on from a young age. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve been helping stray animals by providing food, basic care, and safe spaces whenever possible. That early experience shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior, especially with shy, anxious, or previously neglected pets. In addition to hands-on experience with strays, I’ve volunteered at pet rescue organizations where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing animals, and preparing them for adoption. This has given me experience with pets of all temperaments, including those who need extra patience and attention. Pet sitting has become a steady and meaningful part of my daily routine while I am unemployed. It gives structure to my day, keeps me active, and provides a sense of responsibility. Caring for animals, managing feeding schedules, and ensuring their comfort helps me stay productive while also earning some income and maintaining a positive mindset during this transitional period. --- I do not have pets of my own, but I provide attentive and reliable care for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes, depending on the service requested. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, while also ensuring the home remains clean and secure. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with regular supervision, exercise, and consistent routines to help pets feel at ease. My focus is always on maintaining the pet’s normal schedule and providing a calm, caring experience.
“Holly was a life saver! I needed a last mnt dog sitter and she came to the rescue! She made sure my baby Sunny was walked, fed and happy. Thank you Holly!”
“Eileen is awesome! She took care of my cats for four months, and I plan to continue our weekly visits. She’s been reliable while I’m out of the US for surgery—she responds quickly and is so sweet with my kitties. My cats and I appreciate her so much. I’m even afraid they might start thinking she’s their mom!”
About: I am certified in pet CPR and have completed in 1 year of pre-vet education in high school. I know how to do basic dog training. I am a full time college student so I have a pretty flexible schedule after 12pm on weekdays. For weekends I’m available at anytime. I can do 45-1hr of walking and playing fetch. I’ll make sure your dog gets clean water and gets fed the time you need me to.
About: Hello my name is Shreeya! I recently moved to Fells Point and am excited to work with a new community of pet owners. With 8 years of experience caring for family and neighborhood dogs, plus a year of professional pet care with Walk and Wag (professional pet care company) in North Carolina, I bring both heart and hands-on expertise to every sit. In that time, I've cared for over 30 pets, including dogs, cats, and even a bunny! I'm comfortable with a wide range of breeds, from Shih Tzus and Shiba Inus to Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and have meaningful experience supporting senior and medically complex dogs. Above all, I know that every pet is different. I adjust my energy and approach to match yours, whether they need extra patience and calm or a more active, high-energy companion. As a research coordinator at Hopkins, my schedule is consistent and I rarely travel on weekends! For your pet this means I am rarely out of town and can commit to regular evening, morning or weekend visits :) I provide care exclusively in your home, so your pet gets to stay in the environment they know and love. Your pet gets one-on-one attention in their own space, with all their familiar sights, smells, and routines intact.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
Alex was absoltuely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were doing well and were comfortable. She kept their litter box super clean and was always trying to find them when they were being shy to make sure they were doing good. I also very much appreciate the daily photos and thorough updates!
Anastasia was absolutely outstanding! She was able to accommodate our last-minute booking and took wonderful care of our two cats, including our 10-week-old kitten, who needs a little extra attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again. Highly, highly recommend!
I highly recommend Nataly, she was amazing with caring for my cat Mango! Communication was excellent and I could tell Mango felt safe and had fun with her. She sent lots of photos and updates, and there was a small issue that came up which she handled very quickly and calmly and kept me updated the whole time. I would love to have her cat-sit again sometime!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
