“William really put us at ease with his kindness, attention to detail and overall professionalism during our absence. Our boy was his regular self when we returned which speaks to the calm effective way he was cared for. Thanks William!”

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life. I grew up with dogs and have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. In addition to owning dogs, I've also fostered cats, which has given me experience helping animals adjust to new environments and providing patient, attentive care. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work with each client’s schedule to make sure their pet’s routine stays as normal as possible. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s individual needs and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priorities. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions (if provided), and any special preferences. I also make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and positive attention so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I would give my own.

“It is pleasure working with Lingshan. She is punctual, responds promptly, keeps me updated of the visits and is very reliable. I also appreciated extra time that she spent with my Golden. She is of great help when I am away at work.”


About: I have over seven years of experience caring for my own pets, including a dog, cat, and two chinchillas, along with six years of consistent pet-sitting for neighbors. I’ve provided house sitting, overnight care, puppy care, and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and routines, and I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I wait for the school year to begin, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays, and I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine to ensure they receive consistent care, attention, and companionship. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping dogs securely leashed during walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow all instructions provided. I am attentive, respectful of your home, and committed to creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy experience for both you and your pet.

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.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!

About: Ive grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old and had independently trained them on my own. I’m a BIG animal lover cats AND dogs of all sorts. Any pet sitting/walking endeavors you seek I am more than happy to help out especially with the current season of summer travelling In currently on summer break from college with full access to a car. My major plans for the summer which includes classes and travelling had recently concluded, so that leaves me with full availability throughout the rest of the summer I train clear boundaries within the home (no wandering in the kitchen) and remain all food items and tools off the floor. I also keep various toys such as Kongs and puzzles to keep my dog stimulated indoors. I’m also pretty active myself so most of the time I like to go on walks

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I've owned and cared for dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, personalities, and temperaments. Along with dogs, I've cared for cats throughout my life and have completed extended cat-sitting assignments lasting up to 8 months. My animal experience doesn't stop there—I have also cared for exotic pets, including lizards, reptiles, and birds, and have owned birds myself. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I pride myself on adapting my care to each pet's personality and routine. One of my specialties is working with larger reactive dogs. As the owner of a reactive dog myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, reading body language, and maintaining a safe environment. Safety is something I take extremely seriously—for your pet, for myself, and for everyone around us. I always follow owner instructions carefully and prioritize responsible handling practices during walks, drop-ins, and house sits. Over the years, I've provided house-sitting and drop-in care for many friends and their pets, giving me experience adapting to different homes, schedules, and care requirements. Whether your pet needs a high-energy play session, medication reminders, quiet companionship, or a structured routine, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. As an added bonus, my apartment complex has a dog washing station available for baths if requested. I also love building genuine bonds with the animals I care for and occasionally leave owner-approved treats or small gifts for pets I've gotten to know well. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or scaled family members! My schedule is perfect for pet care throughout the week! I'm available on weekdays before 10:00 AM and again after 5:00 PM for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. On weekends, I have open availability and can provide care at any time of day. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible, whether they need an early morning visit, evening care, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. Feel free to reach out with your needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule! I provide pet care directly in your home, helping your pet stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you're away. This includes drop-in visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and any other routine care your pet needs. Staying in their own home helps reduce stress for pets, especially cats and animals that do better with consistency. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure everything stays as close to their normal routine as possible while you're gone.
“I needed a cat sitter on short notice and found Alice. I never used Rover before so it was a bit daunting to ask someone I never met to take care of our cat Pinky. However I sensed I could trust Alice 100% from the moment I spoke to her. She is very friendly, helpful and professional. She owns cats herself so she knew exactly what was needed. She provided picture and detailed updates while we were away. Pinky absolutely adored Alice and I didn’t worry about Pinky while I was away. I knew she was in great hands. I highly recommend Alice and would definitely book her again!”


“Courtney and Lily were wonderful hosts for Tuley and were even able to accommodate our last minute request. I can’t say enough great things about Courtney - she’s kind, caring and treats my dog as if she were her own. She’s also flexible so pick up and drop offs are super easy. I can’t recommend her enough. And I say that as someone with a dog that can be reserved around new people and dogs. While Tuley has met Courtney before and absolutely loves her, this was her first time meeting Lily. Tuley was a bit unsure of Lily’s puppy energy at first, but Tuley warmed up to Lily pretty quickly. I know they had a blast at the dog park and playing all weekend long, because Tuley fell asleep as soon as we got home. I’ll definitely be sending Tuley to Courtney’s next time we travel.”

“Melissa is a fantastic sitter. She was full of great questions at the Meet and Greet, clearly has much experience and is very sensitive to the needs of the pet and the instructions of the pet parent. During Visits, she was engaged and communicative, taking lots of photos/videos and spending all her energy and attention on my cat. I felt so much better about being away knowing that he was getting attention, love, play, and snuggles while we were gone. I will 100% be asking Melissa back for our next trip. She was amazing to work with!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Potomac
Alice was so wonderful and gave me lots of updates and pictures of my cat and let me know how he was behaving, eating, etc. Her level of communication was exactly what I was hoping for since I had just moved & this was the 1st time I had been gone for a few days since the move. I really appreciated her reassurance that he was fine.

Ashley was an absolute gem! She was completely reliable; we never had to wonder if she’d show up or follow through. The adorable photos she sent at every visit became the little highlight of our day we’d find ourselves looking forward to. The biggest sign she was doing something right? Our cat normally wolfs down her food out of anxiety or boredom when we travel — with Ashley, she ate totally calmly and looked happy in the photos. That said it all. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind and will 100% be rebooking her. Highly recommend!

One of the best pet sitters I have had. I have an older cat with medical problems. My 2nd cat can be aggressive with strangers especially when giving my older cat meds. She had the least problems of any pet sitter and was great with handling both. She is reliable and competent. Just did an amazing job.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
