“This was our second time booking Teffni, and once again, she was absolutely fantastic! We have three cats and Teffni is so patient and attentive with each of their personalities. She also carefully managed their different food routines. We loved getting regular updates and photos during each visit. We came home to three content, well-cared-for cats. We’ll definitely continue booking with Teffni! Highly recommend!”
“My husband and I went away for a long weekend and came back to two happy cats! Mary was very friendly and attentive. Even my shy cat came out to eat and play when Mary stopped by :)”
About: I am happy to help out with all pets! I have grown up with a range of animals(dogs, cats, turtles, birds, fish) and currently own two cats. I am a teacher, so I am looking to help out in the afternoon or in the evenings. Outside of that, I am pretty flexible. I am calm and adaptable, and willing to let your animal take the lead. I am happy to help out with whatever they need, and prioritize animal comfort and safety!
“Drew is just downright amazing! Braved the winter storm to take care of our boys and went above and beyond as a sitter. Extremely responsive and friendly to us and the cats. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.”
“Scott was thorough and communicative! He took such good care of my cats that even the shy one started greeting him at the door. I would definitely have him take care of my pets again.”
About: Hi, my name is Tselmuun! I’m an accountant based in Rockville, where I live with my family and my cat, Noche. I work hybrid with office days in DC, so I have limited availability on Mondays/Fridays/weekends to care for your fur buddies 😊 My Pet Care Background: Growing up, my family had dogs, and after graduating college, I rescued Noche in November 2020. He’s been my best friend and a huge source of comfort, especially during the pandemic. Along with caring for Noche, I’ve also pet-sat for my friends, neighbors, and roommates when they were out of town or unavailable. I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us, and I promise to care for yours as if they were my own. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry friends!🐾 I currently work as an accountant with a hybrid schedule, which gives me availability on my remote days (Mondays and Fridays)! Though I have limited availability, I’m committed to caring for your precious animals as if they were my own. I live in a two-story house in a quiet, safe neighborhood, ideal for ensuring your pet's comfort and security. We have a beautiful lake and running trail nearby, perfect for walking your dogs and giving them some fresh air. My home also features a fenced yard, providing a secure space for playtime and outdoor relaxation. I take pride in maintaining a clean, pet-friendly environment where your fur babies can feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Edgar was great when dealing with all of my anxieties related to leaving my cat Licorice. He was also great with the cat and I really liked the pictures he took. It helped me be able to enjoy my trip.”
About: I’m adaptable to the specific needs of any pet, whether it be diet, sleep, or their exercise routine. My schedule allows me to spend a lot of time with anxious pets or any who enjoy a lot of interaction, but I respect the boundaries of pets who enjoy their space. I’m currently available full-time. I was laid off this spring due to federal budget cuts and I now spend most of my time coding, reading, or writing. I follow the instructions given by the owner and reach out for clarification if needed. I make sure to take care of all checklist items before the end of the stay.
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
“LP was great with my kitties. This was their first time with a new sitter in a new city, so they were a little skittish. They were very patient and was rewarded with a few headbutts :) There were a lot of moving parts and LP was dependable and very communicative. I will definitely hire them again!”
About: I started caring for pets in college (~2015), I am a 3rd Medical student at PSCOM. I am currently completing a research year at the NIH. Pet care is a great way to raise funds for my education, while doing something I love! I grew up with dogs: chihuahuas, german shepherds, saint bernards, and pitbulls. I have cared for small-to-extra large dogs. Loved each experience! I love to run/walk near-by trails and hikes. If you are comfortable with me taking your pets, I would gladly do so! I always send photo updates. I have two Jack Russel mixes of my own! They had to stay in Pennsylvania with my family, so taking care of your fur-babies will help me feel connected to them. If you want me to house sit, I will be studying most of the time and would appreciate a well-lighted desk and/or kitchen table! Happy to answer any questions. I am an early morning riser, and can fit in a 1-2 mile walk/run (whatever you & your pet are comfortable with) before starting my day at 9am. If the location is near my area, lunch visits to your pets are possible. Afternoon care could start as early as 5pm. I will model my gym & studying routine around whatever routine you & your pet are used to. When we are home our two boys stay inside, they love head pats and jump up for hugs/cuddles. In the summer time we have a fenced backyard patio where they stay during the day. In the winter time, we set up an enclosed area in our basement so they stay warm while we’re at work/school. They are small bodied but take up our queen sized bed!
About: I’ve help my friends taken care of different types of dogs when they are away. I understand dogs can feel anxious when their owners are gone, so I give them calm, consistent companionship. I’m working full time from Monday to Friday with every Friday work remotely. More availability from Friday to Sunday.My boyfriend works 100% remotely and he can help me too. I love spend time with furry friends. I care for each pet based on their individual personality, routine, and needs. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and any other parts of their normal routine. I know many cats feel most comfortable when things stay familiar, so I’ll give them space when they want it and plenty of attention when they’re ready for it. I’ll also keep their environment clean and secure and send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Gabrielle took wonderful care of our cat, Izzy, while we were out of town. She stopped by for the initial meeting, sent a thorough summary of all that we discussed, and then kept me informed daily as to how things were going. She not only took great care of Izzy, including giving her daily medication, she also managed to make friends with her! Izzy is normally very uncomfortable around people outside of our family so that was a real accomplishment. Gabrielle also watered our plants daily. I will definitely call on her again for future pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve had my own pets in the past and I love all sorts of pets! It brings me serotonin to be with my furry friends! I’ve pet sat for my neighbors, friends, and family members! I will be working full time later this year and wanted to try out this fun side hustle to make extra cash and bring my serotonin levels up! My house has a big yard area! There’s a couple of parks nearby that are also perfect and I have a variety of pet snacks and toys!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - North Kensington
Liza was a lifesaver and accepted our request for a drop in visit with only a few days notice. She took great care of our cat. We appreciated the pictures she sent and it was obvious our cat, who is normally very scared around strangers, was very happy, relaxed and comfortable around her. Would definitely recommend!
Yuxi is the most wonderful pet sitter. She took such good care of my cat while I was gone, sending frequent updates with photos and videos. It is obvious she loves animals and they love her back. I was able to thoroughly enjoy my trip and relax knowing that my cat was in such good hands. Thank you again Yuxi!
Sharon is absolutely wonderful and my cats love her. She is very attentive to their needs and makes sure they have plenty of food and water and takes care of their litter boxes. She is also an excellent communicator and takes super cute pictures. I highly recommend Sharon.
Highly recommend! Quantairra was flexible with my last-minute booking and provided updates after each visit. My scaredy cat, who normally hides under my bed whenever new people come over, actually came out on the first day, let Quantairra pet her and engaged in some playtime. Honestly, that alone deserves 5 stars!!
Five stars! Absolutely outstanding pet sitter! Michael provided exceptional drop-in care for my cat, Kimchi, over four days while I was out of town. He was friendly, courteous, incredibly communicative, and genuinely caring. His thorough updates and wonderful photos gave me complete peace of mind, and it was clear that Kimchi was in excellent hands. Michael went above and beyond, showing genuine affection and concern for Kimchi’s well-being. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I wholeheartedly recommend Michael and look forward to having him care for Kimchi again!
This was our second time having Edgar look after our cats, and he did a great job again! He sent fantastic photos and videos each day, which we loved getting while we were away. It was reassuring to know our cats were in good hands. We’d happily book him again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in North Kensington is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit.

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 .
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.
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 .

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 , 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.
