Cat Sitting Potomac

“Lingshan is the best, so attentive and kind, reliable and thoughtful. Our kitties love her and she played with them, followed to a t all the feeding instructions and they were very comfortable with her. Highly recommend her!”

“Kyrstin did an excellent job caring for our two cats, Ellis, and Teva. She was very attentive to their needs, both medical and social, taking lots copious notes during the meet and great. Ellis's food needs changed between the meet and greet and when Kyrstin came to cat-sit, and she was also very attentive and flexible over text when we communicated with her about this. It was the first time we have left the kitties with a sitter since their adoption. And while we were at first anxious about this, we loved Kyrstin the moment we met her - And yes, we includes the cats!”

About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.

About: I grew up on a farm and I have been caring for pets and animals all my life. I had 6 dogs growing up on the farm and I had to care for most of them. I also have extensive knowledge on caring for puppies and elderly animals. As well as dogs in heat and pregnant. I work from home as I own another business that is completely hands off. So I love to be able to help people with their pets in the meantime. The pets will love the home we allow them to roam unless directed by owner to be in the cage. Also we have a backyard that is nice and fenced so they can poop and play.

“Lauren was terrific with my dog and cat! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats since I was a toddler! My family has always had Sheltie dogs, and I have always had cats of my own! I have experience as a foster parent to cats and kittens of all sizes. My cat Tater Tot is a foster fail! I also have experience dog and cat sitting for friends over the years, including in home care, dog walking, senior dog care, and puppy care as I raised my own dog, Honey, from just a few months old! I am currently in the midst of starting my own pastry business, so I am extremely flexible as I work through the paperwork and business planning! I am completely flexible in my schedule, and am available any day of the week any time as my work is a currently remote and flexible! I currently do not offer care in my home, but I am very comfortable doing pet care in clients homes. My most recent dog-sitting client had three dogs of various ages and temperaments, and I was comfortable entering the home, walking and spending time with them, feeding and giving the elderly dog medication, then crating the two others! As a pet parent, I know how important it is to spend quality time and play time with pets while they are missing their family!

“Sam takes great care of our 3 cats and dog. We love working with Sam!”

“Dymond was wonderful with my cat! Very responsive, caring, and easy to communicate with. This was my first time leaving my cat since adopting her and I felt very comfortable doing so knowing Dymond would be checking in on her!”

About: I am grateful for my opportunity on Rover! I have taken on many pets for several friends & family. Pets like turtles, dogs, even volunteered with goats! Now I want to pet sit full-time for my career. I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and learning their quirks, routines, and what makes them kind. I am a teacher for many subjects to students and they have an everlasting impact on my life! In the same way I will care for your pet like the family that they are to you. I am full of energy, and am looking for this to fill up more of my time! I can work any time of the day, even very early! I will usually be available at any time and love the chance to get outside. Career wise, I will always hop on the opportunity to work with new animals and be the best for them. I’m never in a hurry to get to know pets. I know being patient is the largest part of this job. At work I always put the customer first, no matter what it is, I will do what I can to make you happy! More pets, the better! I can help small or large families.

“Ana was a pleasure to work with! She was incredibly responsive and happy to accommodate any last minute changes. She kept me completely updated all the way through on both my pets of course and my apartment. My kittens looked well taken care of and happy. Would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and children. While living in Colorado, I worked as a dog walker and nanny for families with large dogs and young children. Most of the dogs I cared for were medium to large breeds, and my experience ranges from puppies to senior dogs.

I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting visits. At this time I am not able to host pets in my home, but I have reliable transportation and am happy to travel for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I have a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends, allowing me to accommodate consistent routines as well as last-minute or varying pet care needs.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life! Over my 25 years, my family has had two Rottweilers, a Pitbull, and a cat, all of whom lived long, loved lives before sadly passing from old age. Today, my family has a Cocker Spaniel, several Yorkies, and two cats, all of whom I absolutely adore! Having cared for everything from large, energetic breeds to smaller dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also experienced caring for pets as they grow older, so I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and adapting to their needs. I recently moved into my own place, and one of the things I miss most is coming home to my family’s dogs and cats. That’s a big part of why I’d love to become a pet sitter! I genuinely enjoy the companionship animals bring, and I’d be thrilled to give your furry family members the same love, attention, and affection I’ve always given my own. I know pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. My goal is to make sure yours feel just as safe, comfortable, and loved with me as they do with you! My schedule is pretty flexible! I typically work from home or close by, which means I can be a very present and attentive sitter rather than leaving your pets alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs regular walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, or just someone to keep them company throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. I’m also open to overnight stays and boarding! Since I live on my own, I have the flexibility to make your pet feel welcome and give them plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! Having grown up caring for several different breeds, including large dogs and smaller companions, I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. That includes following feeding instructions, keeping up with walks and bathroom breaks, providing plenty of affection, and respecting any specific rules or preferences you have. I recently moved into my own place, where I have a fenced yard for your furry friends to safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise! My home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where your pets can relax and receive plenty of individual attention. I’ll always supervise outdoor activities and make sure your pet feels safe and welcome. I also believe communication is incredibly important! I’m more than happy to send regular pictures, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets the way I’ve always treated my own: with love, patience, kindness, and lots of cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!).

About: Although I have not had a pet sitting job before, my family has owned dogs my whole life and I have always helped take care of the dogs in any way I can. I am going to be working with rover full time, so I can give your dogs my full attention. I love animals and will promise to treat them with love and care. I will care for your dog with every bit of my heart, I will make sure they are safe and loved and protected when I am with them.

“We are so fortunate to have found Vitali! If you want to go on vacation and not have to worry about your pets plotting your demise, hire Vitali B! Great communication and our kitties were so relaxed upon our return that they barely noticed us when we walked in to the house. Meow.....”

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’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 know everyone says that, but I truly enjoy being around animals!

With a small business, I can plan accordingly to care for your pets and home with dependability. I like to bring a calm, loving, assertive disposition to dogs--bonding with them beginning with good exercise. After which, I allow them to stroll at their own pace and share with them the level of attention they desire. For cats, I respect their space as they wish and am available to play or give them attention. I always look forward to giving any animal cuddles as well as respecting their space.

“Michele was an excellent caretaker for our two cats while we were away on a long trip. She communicated quickly and clearly about everything and there were no issues at all! We definitely felt like our pets were in good hands.”
