“Laura was great! She sent the cutest photos during every visit and actually spent time with our cats. She was attentive, punctual, and followed the plans. Great care- thank you Laura!”
“Maria was super communicative and followed instructions. It made my time away from my kitties much less stressful to know she was taking care of them! Thank you!”
About: I have had cats and dogs in my house since before I could walk and have been actively caring for them for nearly as long. I have two cats of my own now, 5 and 4, (my dog, almost 20, recently passed) that are my pride and joy. Caring for animals has been a staple of my life; I can’t wait to meet your babies and give them the best care too! I have a bit of a variable schedule between part time work as a barista, but for sitting stays I would never be away for more than 8 hours in any given day. I take college classes online but that can be done anywhere that I can access the internet, meaning I can be with your fur baby for more quality time! I have two cats of my own that I feed a mixed diet of wet and dry food twice a day, so I know attention to detail is a priority when caring for your fur baby! With that said, I can have my roommate feed my boys while I’m on overnight jobs, meaning I have more time to provide top quality care for your fur baby.
“Never boarded a pet before, but I left my Xander there and they treated him wonderfully! He even got a cat tree to play on, which I don’t even have! Highly recommend!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals, having raised four dogs and three cats. I know how to keep pets safe, active, and happy. Whether walking your dog or visiting your cat, I will strictly follow your schedule and give them plenty of love! During the summer, my schedule is highly flexible. I am completely available for morning and evening walks or visits on weekdays, as well as anytime on weekends. I have plenty of free time to focus entirely on your pets and keep them happy! When visiting your home, safety is my top priority. I can carefully feed your pets, clean litter boxes, and provide safe walks. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed. I always strictly follow your instructions to keep your pets healthy and happy
About: Hey! My name is Kyla, I have about 9 years of animal experience. I just graduated with a degree in Animal Behavior & currently work at a veterinary clinic! I have knowledge on medications, and experience with many different medical conditions. P.S. Your pets will receive photoshoots during their time with me!😊🐾 I just graduated college and I am working at a vet office part time, so i definitely need more animal time fit into my schedule!🫶🏽 I make sure to be very generous of the animals space as a lot of animals are protective and make sure they are as comfortable as possible!
About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
“Lina did a great job taking care of our cat over the holidays. She was prompt and flexible for the meet and greet, sent lots of pictures and updates, and helped to bring in packages and take out the trash. We greatly appreciated the peace of mind and thoughtful help she provided.”
About: I have been caring for cats and dogs of all ages for the majority of my life, from young animals to seniors. I base my care on each animal's specific needs by listening to what you tell me at the meet and greet and, later, my own experience. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I foster and work in the cat room and the nursery with puppies and kittens. Through the shelter, I have taken several trainings to increase my skills in body language, enrichment, first interactions and more! I hope to continue to build my skills at the shelter. Through the shelter, my own pets and the pets I sit for, I have experience with giving medication--both pills and needles. While I try to keep a pet's routine, I even have a few tricks I've learned through the years to make medicating less stressful! My schedule is fairly flexible, but I do occasionally need to leave the pets/home for 6-8 hours. I'm always willing to work with my petsitting families to ensure each pup or cat is well taken care of! I follow your routine in your home to ensure the pup or cat feels as safe as possible. Animals miss their families when you're gone, and I try to make that time as easy as possible by keeping them on their schedule!
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and attention, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each animal’s needs. I understand how important routines, comfort, and safety are, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a student at Towson University! All of my classes take place in morning/early afternoon so I am free in afternoons/ evenings. The weekends I am completely free as well! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any medication instructions. I make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also maintain open communication with owners by providing regular updates and photos, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Most importantly, I give each pet patience, attention, and affection to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I regularly dog/ cat sit for my neighbors since I was 10. Sometimes I like animals more than people. I’m currently a part time student at Towson with a part time job, Monday through Thursday. I have plenty of breaks throughout the day to spend with your pet! Your pet is welcome anywhere in my apartment! Bring whatever toys/treat you want. Whatever makes them comfortable! I will love them like my own!!
“This is the second time we have booked with Jun and we will continue to book with him for as long as he is pet sitting. Our shy, people-adverse kitty warmed up to him immediately and he treats her like she is his own pet. We can’t recommend Jun enough!!”
“Erika and Nikita were wonderful. They were professional, kind, and respectful of our home. We appreciated the heartfelt messages with every visit. When we returned home, Rosie seemed more at-ease than she usually does when we come back from a trip. It was clear to us that she wasn’t only cared for, she was loved! We look forward to booking Erika and Nikita again. Thank you!!”
“Maggie is lovely! So kind and caring to my cat. She was responsive, communicative, flexible, and neat. She even took care of our garden. Highly recommend!”
“We were so lucky to meet Imani! She is absolutely the best. Our cat loved her from the first minute he met her. She is most responsible, knowledgeable, professional, kind, and sweet person. I was very nervous about how our cat would handle his first time away from us and she put my mind at ease and made us very comfortable. We are most grateful.”
“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!”
“Christine did an outstanding job caring for my two fur babies. She ensured they always had food and clean litter and consistently provided photos as promised on the scheduled dates and times throughout the week. I highly recommend her services for reliable and attentive pet care.”

Maria dropped in daily to look after our two cats while we were away for a week. She was great about providing detailed updates to let us know if hey were behaving (or not!) and spent time with them playing and giving scritches. Even our extremely shy boy seemed to warm up by the end. She also shared multiple daily photos, which we very much appreciated. Will definitely rebook in future.
Stephanie is amazing. I left for a 2 week trip and knee my girls were in good hands--the daily photos proved it. Stephanie discovered my cats like staring out the front door, so now I can leave the door open foe their entertainment. Will definitely use her again.
We have hired Britney many a times to take care of our 3 cats and snake. She is always so thorough in taking care of them and with the report cards for each animal. She flawlessly gives our senior cat his daily meds and makes sure to put eyes on our one cat who does not like to be seen. Britney is the best!
This is the second time that Kelly has taken care of my cats. She is very professional, kind, and compassionate with my little trouble makers! The cats remembered her from the first visit and they enjoyed her company. While I think Kelly is great, what really matters is what our furry four legged kids think.
Laura is our go-to cat sitter whenever we travel, and we trust her completely. During our longest trip yet, she saved the day when the upstairs AC broke by quickly moving his food, water, and litter to a cooler floor. She showered our cat with love and attention, and we couldn't recommend her more!
Jen was an amazing cat sitter for my two cats Patty and Norman! She watched them for over a week and gave me many updates, went over and above with communication, care, and even cleaning! I would recommend Jen to anybody looking for a reliable cat sitter and will definitely be booking with her again.
Michelle was absolutely amazing for my cat while we were out of town on vacation! She is attentive, kind, and clearly cares a lot about animals. The peace of mind I get just from knowing my boy was well taken care of while I can’t be with him is priceless to me. 10/10 would recommend!
I was glad to have Dalton look after a cat............LOL. But I felt stress-free and had a peaceful time. My camera would alert me when someone entered my unit, and I had no reason to check and have pictures sent. Dyson is a strange cat when I'm ready to leave town. Dalton is a GREAT backup. Thanks Dalton

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Parkville is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 of October 2026, there are 2,484 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Parkville. 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 .
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 .

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 , 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.
