“Lingshan was a great sitter for our kitten! She was very reliable, caring, and friendly. She took very good care of our cat. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Had a great experience with Jessica! She took such good care of Truffle during the drop-in visits, kept the litter clean, and made sure food and water were always taken care of. Super reliable and caring — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away 😊”
About: I own two cats and regularly take care of my dad‘s dog teddy when he is at work And I take great joy in doing so. I recently graduated from high school and I’m currently between jobs and college so I am available most of the day this may change in the coming months I will make sure anything required for your pet for walks or check-in will be met so they are happy and healthy. My number one priority is to make sure both the client and the pet has everything they need.
“A great sitter who went above and beyond to make my kitties comfortable and happy! Even with all their little quirks. I’m happy to say I’d rebook in a heartbeat for my next trip out of town :)”
“Ana was great with my kitties for an extended trip away! I also ended up cutting my travels short and Ana was responsive and accepting of the changes we needed to make in real time. She took great care of my kitties and apartment (I had her house sit to keep my kitties company). When I got back my place was clean and tidy and my kitties were happy! I will book Ana again!”
“Hannah did such a great job with our kitten while we were out of town! Sent lots of pictures and updates that definitely helped our peace of mind leaving our girl for the first time! 😺”
About: I have had my cat for 14 years, healthy and happy as ever. Also grew up with a cat and a dog my whole childhood. I can dog walk or cat sit almost any time of the day before dark, any day, If my schedule changes it would then be late afternoon. In my client's home I would walk the dog normally so not be in the home other than to get the dog and return it. For cat and dog visits I would be in the home for about 1/2 hour, lock the door both coming and going, don't touch anything other than the food and bowls and animals and litter box. I am very respectful and visits are brief.
“Lesly was wonderful! She house sat with my cat for two nights, and sent me tons of photo updates, was attentive to my cat, and kept my home in great shape. I would love to work with her again.”
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!
About: I have taken taken car of dog while i am working at someone backyards every week. And also i used to have a cat before I am currently work part time at the restaurant on the weekends and weekday is my day off. And sometimes early morning weekend iam available I currently have apartment but i could take the animal to the park to play with them and also can take them to my apartment
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.
“Jiesen was a great cat sitter to Frankie! He was always great with sending us updates, was flexible and super easy to book with, and Frankie seemed to really enjoy her time with him. We would book with Jiesen again in a heartbeat!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Potomac
William did a great job. This was our first time with him, and everything went smoothly. He responded promptly to any contact, was reliable in carrying out what we asked him to do, and was very easy to work with overall. He clearly understands how to engage with cats, and established a rapport quickly with our kitty. She is an old girl, and pretty needy, so she does not handle our absence well. But William was able to connect with her and got her through it nicely. I was impressed that he was able to discern some aspects of her needs and preferences that I hadn't thought to tell him, even working with her for a relatively short time (5 days). We would absolutely request William again if the need arises and would recommend him to others without hesitation.
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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Potomac is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $29 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.

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.
