“Julianna is absolutely incredible! It has been a while since we saw such a responsible, reliable and punctual pet sitter. I’ve been struggling to trust someone with my fur babies but Julianna made it so easy! Most pet sitters just come over, give the food and that’s it. But Julianna stayed a while to play with our very active kittens! She’s truly amazing!! Cannot wait to book her for our next trip!”

“Aliyah went above and beyond in taking care of my cats. My youngest fur baby instantly warmed up to her, which is quite rare! Aliyah sent me lots of photos while I was away, easing my separation anxiety. Being away from my cats is never easy, but knowing they were in such great care with Aliyah made it so much better.”

About: I’m an experienced pet owner of cats, dogs, seniors pets, high medical need pets, and just needy in general pets. I am especially enthusiastic about dog walking, and am comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes (including large dogs). I have experiencing with medicating dogs and cats, and am comfortable with pets that need an extra close eye due to age or illness. I work from home and am available for daily walks, drop in visits, feeding, medicating, and giving lots of love and attention all day every day. I am available for pet sitting in your home - I unfortunately cannot fit any more paws, tails, or snouts into my house at the moment.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was young and have taken care of them my whole life. I currently have a cat that was previously abused so I am good with temperamental pets. I have also administered meds for sick animals. I currently work during the week at an office but I am available to check in on nights and weekends. This includes walks, foods, and pet meds if needed. I am happy to come over and run and play, keep them company, and give them some love. I love pets and I am excellent at following directions with great attention to detail.

“Melissa obviously loves animals and she did a great job caring for my two cats. My kitties can be suspicious with strangers sometimes but they both took to Melissa right away. She did in-home visits while I had to be away that included feeding each cat a separate diet and administering pills to both of them. Melissa followed my instructions perfectly and everything went very well. I will not hesitate to contact Melissa the next time I need kitty care.”

“Karrah did an amazing job taking care of my cats! She was so kind and dependable, and I immediately felt at ease leaving them with her. It’s not always easy to trust someone with your pets, but she made the whole process feel effortless. She kept me updated regularly and sent tons of photos, which I loved—it was clear my cats were relaxed, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. That level of communication really meant a lot to me. Karrah is truly a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my cats and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet owners is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve always had cats and dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I also have a 13-year-old diabetic cat, which has given me firsthand experience with caring for pets who have special medical needs, maintaining routines, administering medication, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior and health. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I treat every animal as if they were my own and want owners to feel completely confident knowing their pets are in loving and trustworthy hands. I am currently a bartender/server, so my schedule works wonderfully if you're needing someone to look after the fur babies while you work. My schedule can also be flexible if I'm given enough notice. My cat has not lived with other cats in a while due to his diabetes effecting his back legs for a while. My Tigger is my best friend. He is my baby that I care for like a child with routine feedings, medications, vet visits, etc.

“Nicole cared for my 2 cats while I was away. It was the first time in many years that I’d traveled without them, and Nicole was patient with all of us. She arrived on time, sent pictures, and answered my questions quickly about if they were eating, etc. We have some finicky old doors that can be tricky to open/lock, but Nicole managed everything perfectly. I will choose her again!”

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.

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!

About: My name is Tiana Palmer. Born & raised in Baltimore, MD by way of Dallas, TX. I travel back and forth from both areas for work and open to welcoming new clients as the fall/winter season is approaching. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals, especially canines. I have plenty of clients who can vouch that at all times their dog, cat, even a turtle can be trusted in my hands. With my personable spirit and love for the animals I have been recognized by my peers and colleagues on numerous occasions about my enthusiasm and passion for care taking. My availability is pretty open. I’m usually free for walks in the morning til the evening. If it’s overnights I will follow the client’s schedule. I have extensive experience in animal welfare, animal behavior and language. Also, prompt if meds are needed for pet. The schedule such as feedings, walks, baths and etc. that the client has for their animal it will be as followed.

Julianna took such great care of Chester and Kate. In addition to providing the visit card, Julianna took the time to write a personal note about how the cats were doing during each visit. She sent cute pictures and spent time brushing and playing with them. Julianna also brought in packages that arrived while we were away.The cats were happy and comfortable when we arrived home. I will most definitely ask for Julianna again! Thank you for a job well done!!!

Scott was absolutely AMAZING with our trio of kitties! We knew he was 100% legit when our very shy kitty (who NEVER comes out for strangers) came out on the second visit and is opening up to Scott. I look forward to having Scott return in the near future to take care of our kitties.

Bianca was excellent with my shy older cat. She made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care and, more importantly, made him feel comfortable (which is not easy)! I also really appreciated that around halfway through my trip she asked if there was anything she could do better or differently, which no other sitter has done before. Highly recommend and will definitely invite her to help with Knuckles again in the future!

Barbara took such good care of my cats while I was away that I needed to switch up my own routines! I was updated every visit with how everyone was doing, and each of my 3 cats got such focused attention on every visit that their personalities (and bellies!) were on full display. I trust Barbara with my cats, and I can't possibly recommend her high enough for how well she worked with them.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - North Kensington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

As of November 2026, there are 2,474 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across North Kensington. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Kensington. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% can help with daily exercise

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.
