About: Hi! I’m Parvin, a data scientist who works from home and a true cat lover. 🐱❤️ I had a wonderful cat named Piorot for a year. He was a beautiful Persian and British mix, and he completely made me fall in love with cats and their unique personalities. Although I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I have experience taking care of my friends’ cats while they are traveling. Since I work from home and live by myself, I can provide a quiet, comfortable, and peaceful environment with plenty of attention and companionship for your cat. I would be happy to host your cat in my home, or I can provide drop-in visits at your home while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your cat is safe, comfortable, and loved when you’re traveling. I’ll treat your little angel with lots of love, patience, and care, just as I would my own. 🐾 I’d love to meet you and your kitty and help make your time away a little more worry-free! ❤️ I work from home as a data scientist, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give your cat plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for both cat boarding in my home and drop-in visits, including weekdays and weekends. I live by myself in a quiet, clean home, so your cat can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable environment without the stress of other animals. I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine, and I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, litter care, playtime, and any other needs. For drop-in visits, I will treat your home and your cat with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

“Riley gave me lots of peace of mind that Bun was being taken care of, looked after, and getting the attention she loves. She left a little summary on the rover card of what she did and how Bun was, and included a few photos for each drop in so I could see that Bun was doing well. I would definitely recommend booking Riley!”

About: What truly sets my service apart is the depth of my experience and my advanced medical skill set, which aligns closely with the hands-on training of a veterinary technician. For over 30 years, I have dedicated myself to specialized feline care, handling everything from playful kittens to fragile senior cats with complex health conditions. Caring for animals is not just a job for me—it is my entire life, my primary focus, and how I structure my days. Because pet care is my full-time devotion, my daily and weekly routines are built entirely around the schedules, medical timelines, and comfort of the cats in my care. Cats thrive best in their own familiar environments. To eliminate the severe stress of boarding or travel, I work exclusively inside your home. My safety protocols are designed to keep your home clean, secure, and running smoothly according to your exact instructions, while fully respecting your private property and making sure your kitty has a wonderful, fun time while you are away.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets my whole life! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters so I have plenty of hands on experience. I’ve been freelance pet sitting for about 5 years now. I have cat sit for 5 different families in the past. I never had a cat so I feel this helped me gain some cat experience. I’ve dog sat for senior dogs requiring special medication and have had senior dogs myself. I’m a huge animal lover and am so excited to meet your pups/ kitties! I’m perfect to call for mid day dog walking or a drop in visit when you’re at work! I’m currently unemployed and am looking forward to pet sitting/ dog walking full time! I am a very structured person so I will follow any and all directions that you leave for me. I will do as much as I can to make your pet feel at ease while you are on your family vacation, work trip, etc. I’ve been an animal lover all my life so I promise to give your pets the same love & affection that I do give to my own fur babies! I know everyone says that, but I truly enjoy being around animals!

“Words are inadequate to convey how THRILLED we were with Michele taking care of our VERY social 11 year old kitty. We were hoping to find someone who would spend a lot of time with him -playing and cuddling -and the pictures and videos she sent us confirmed that we had found a gem of a pet sitter! Seeing Yoshi "head bopping" Michele and flopping down next to her told us everything we needed to know and gave us great peace of mind ! Also coming home to an immaculate house after having a VERY bad experience with a previous pet sitter was a joy . Nobody ever wants to come home from a vacation and then have to clean up a mess - our house was absolutely spotless ! We will be using Michele again for sure and can't recommend her highly enough !”

About: I graduated college with my Bachelors in Animal Studies with a Minor in Psychology. Through my college experience I have gotten to work with cats, dogs, reptiles, farm animals, and pocket pets! I have over 8+ years of experiences with pet care inside/outside of college as well. I have watched/had pets ranging from cats, dogs, reptiles, small pets, and pocket pets! What sets me apart from other pet sitters is I take the time and dedication to help you and your pet out! I always send daily updates of your pets and take the time to make sure your pet is happy while you are away. I treat others pets as my own and make sure they have the upmost health while they are in my care. I also have experience with administering medications topically, orally, and injections. I currently work at a dog boarding facility so I am very familiar with canine needs! I grew up with various breeds of dogs AND cats so animals are nothing new to me :) I work full-time at a Dog Boarding Facility! I keep my schedule on Rover up to date that way both clients and I can be connected on the same page! I'm available for walks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings (depending on schedule). I am also able to dog pet boarding at my home or yours, which ever you are comfortable with! Even though I do not have a fenced in backyard, I leash walk all dogs to make sure they are safe and get plenty of exercise. My cat is also up to date on all their vaccines and are extremely friendly and will keep your pets company! If need be I can also crate your pet if you perfer! I make it a priority to have the safest area for your pets and have trust with the owners that your pets are in great care while you are gone or need help!

About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.

About: I am a nature lover, enjoying a healthy balance between being active and being a homebody. My top qualities are patience, attention to detail, and communication. I work well with anxious pets and senior pets needing extra attention. As a plus, I live with my family who all love and have had pets throughout their lives. I’m currently working part-time Monday through Friday. I usually leave for work at 1:30pm, and return home by 8:00pm. However, I always have at least two people at home so your pets will never be alone (or have to go too long without potty breaks) if you are boarding them here. I am available for boarding any night, and will gladly adjust my weekend plans depending on your pet’s attachment level. I love staying active, and enrichment for any animal is one of my top priorities. I live with my family in a safe and quiet neighborhood within walking distance of a large regional park with plenty of trails. I also have a basement and a large yard to accommodate your loved one’s comfort level. When visiting my clients’ homes I take extra care to adhere to their pets’ routines, habits, and preferences.

I work a rotating 24-hours-on, 48-hours-off schedule as first responder. This gives me two full days between shifts for pet care, walks, drop-in visits, and quality time.

About: I’m especially a cat person and genuinely enjoy spending time with cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to shy seniors. I know that earning a cat’s trust takes patience, and I’m happy to let them interact at their own pace. I’ve been surrounded by both dogs and cats my entire life and have been caring for pets since I was a child. I grew up with multiple dogs and cats, including a Golden Retriever, a Chihuahua, and several cats, so I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family many times, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and lots of love. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, playtime, feeding, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your furry family member, and I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life! My family had a toy poodle for 16 years and we now have a short-haired kitty. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, from puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience with other pets and enjoy making sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, or providing companionship, I’m happy to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I love caring for animals and I can’t wait to meet more furry friends! I work remotely as a consultant at a technology firm, meaning drop-in visits during the week are doable. In-house stays during the week/weekends are also very much doable! Since I work remotely, I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to walking, feeding, and caring for any pet that has specific needs. I have experience watching puppies, adult dogs, kittens, and cats. I will ensure your pet is comfortable around me so I can provide excellent care! Your fur baby will be in great hands, whether I’m taking them for walks throughout the week or caring for them overnight at your residence.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Poolesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Poolesville is $33 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $40 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 October 2026, there are 7,012 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Poolesville. 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 .

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 , 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.
