“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.”
“Crissy did a wonderful job caring for my three cats! She sent detailed updates, plenty of photos and I felt they were in good hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Elizabeth was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional, friendly and responsive. I felt so safe leaving her with my cat Shredder, especially given her background in pet care and veterinary medicine. Thank you so much for your grace and understanding during the past 2 weeks, it truly meant a lot to me. 100% would recommend to anyone in the area seeking pet care.”
“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 am a Registered Vet Tech who has been doing pet sitting for over 15 years. I’m comfortable medicating pets, in addition to walking and doing general care for dogs and cats. About this sitter: I am an experienced RVT who has worked in this field for over 15 years. I have 6 pets of my own and regularly foster so pet care is always my priority. My experience administering medication I have experience working in two different kennels and am very comfortable administering medications. I would prefer to not have diabetic dogs unless they have been stable for over a year.
“Second time my wife and I have used Jennifer to sit our cats while out-of-town. It was only a couple days, but a hospital stay went longer than planned so we had to add on another night and morning; she handled the booking for us and came back over to feed them and do the litter - her help make a stressful trip a bit easier. Pretty sure we'll be using her a third time down the road whenever ...”

“Second time booking with Lori! I have had a little bit of bad luck with pet sitters before finding Lori on Rover. She showed up for a meet and greet and I got the immediate impression that she was dedicated, honest and trustworthy so I decided to give her a try. I'm glad that I did! I now (finally) have a go to pet sitter who I trust completely with my fur babies. Lori will continue to get my business.”
“Kelly has cared for our cat many times on extended vacations. Lyra can be a shy cat and will hide when people come over, but she immediately loved Kelly. Kelly provides very thorough visit reports and never hesitates to clean up any pet messes so we come home to a clean house. We will continue to ask her to watch our pets and plants when we go on vacation.”
“Nasa is an excellent pet sitter. She took care of Loki and Athena while my partner and I visited family out of state. Nasa fed, cleaned, and played with the kitties and would update us with pictures and videos and they looked so happy ?♥️ Thankful for all your excellent care. We will definitely be booking again ?”
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’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby, love dog sitting, and volunteered for three years with Passport Rescue at Petco, where I spent hundreds of hours caring for cats. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different personalities, and take pride in keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat every pet like my own and truly love what I do. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, medications or care guidelines provided by each owner. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and always make sure pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I respect both your space and your pet’s routine, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
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.
“10/10 absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Came home to the happiest, calmest kitty that has ever been thanks to B. Normally when we come home Carson is very unhappy with us but this time he was calm and unbothered. Every day, twice a day, I received great, detailed updates with pictures of Carson playing and being the most enriched and spoiled baby there ever has been. Moving forward I won’t ask anyone else to care for my three animals besides Bito. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more caring person to care for my furry orange child. Even my plants got watered :’). Thank you SO much!”
“Constance was wonderful! We booked her for drop-in visits to administer medication for our cat, who is on a very strict regimen. She was open to learning our process and was very attentive to our cat’s needs. She went above and beyond the administration, topping off food and water bowls, cleaning him up a bit and giving him snuggles. Getting the updates and pictures from her while we were away really gave me a lot of comfort, as I knew he was in good hands. She even left a sweet note and picture of our boy for us when we returned from a very long flight, which I appreciated so much. It was just such a nice and personal touch. Would definitely book her again in the future! Thank you, Constance!”

Tabatha was excellent with my 3 cats while I was away on vacation. My cats seem very happy and everything was well cared for when we returned. She did meds for my 2 sphynx cats and was very responsive and kept me up to date! Will definitely book with her again!
Maria was wonderful as always taking care of our kitty Sammi while we were away for a week trip! It's obvious that she loves spending time with him and sends really cute pics of cuddle and play sessions. Maria even went the extra mile to take our trash out for us which was really sweet and unexpected. We would trust her with our pets any time and can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Maria ♥️
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!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Parkville is $22 per visit as of November 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 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 795 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 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.
