“Thank you for taking care of our puppy. Great detailed visit. Pictures and everything we asked for our puppy’s needs was accomplished and more! Will call again, we are regulars now!”
“Jhonathan stepped in with in-house visits when our house sitter bailed out early. He came by twice a day and stayed for around an hour each time. One time he stayed for hour and half!! He was a real lifesaver and we were comfortable when he took over and was great to communicate with. Will be using him again next time we need a sitter.”
“Steven once again came to my rescue last-minute!! He checked in on my puppies with only a couple hours notice. He took great care of them and gave them lots of love! I highly recommend Steven to care for your pets! He is awesome!”
“That is a great addition—it shows she really understands different cat personalities, from the "spicy" ones who hate grooming to the shy ones. Here is the updated review with those details included: ### Review for Liz **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Liz provided incredible care for my three cats while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving a multi-cat household, but Liz handled everything with total professionalism and genuine care. She stayed on top of their specific needs, including: * **Medication & Maintenance:** She reliably administered medicine and kept the litter boxes spotless. Food and water were always fresh and topped off. * **Frank:** I loved the updates about her playing with him; she made sure he got plenty of exercise with his favorite laser toy! * **Rudy:** She even managed to give Rudy a good brushing—something he usually hates when I do it! She clearly has a magic touch. * **Ryan:** For my hider, Ryan, Liz took the time to find her every day just to lay eyes on her and make sure she was safe and doing okay. It’s clear Liz truly loves animals and respects their individual boundaries. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy home. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, patient sitter!”
“Aliyah was a treasure. She was ready to go from booking. Blue adapted well to her and enjoyed her special cuddles!! She had great communication and was very accommodating!! We will definitely use her again!”

“Brenna and Binx are in good hands when she stops by to see them and she’s got great availability. She actively updates you and communicates frequently if you need to know anything.”
About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have raised my cairn terrier since she was two months old and she’s now 12!! I’ve worked with big dogs, small dogs, old and young. I currently train my dog in emotional and psychiatric care as she is training to be a service animal. I am currently working a part-time job and do online school so don’t worry about me leaving your pets high and dry!! I have two pets of my own so I know how important attention is. I’m available whenever you need me I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where all the dogs (and dog owners) know each other. I have a large yard and live only a couple minutes away from a park. I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys
“Dominick was absolutely amazing! He sent me pictures every visit and responded quickly to any messages I sent. Dominick gave my sister and I peace of mind while my dad was in a short term nursing home. He truly is a blessing and I'm forever grateful he was able to help us out.”
“Anastasia is great! My kitties love her. I feel comfortable having her coming home to watch over them. She is responsible and always comes on time and send me videos and pictures of the them in every visit. I’d recommend her:)”
“Bri is amazing! Our cat Bandit has taken so well to her and it is a huge relief to know we can be out of town and 100% rely on Bri to take the best care of her. She‘s very thoughtful and incredibly flexible and I could not recommend her more!”
“Michaela is a wonderful person. She took exceptional care of my doggy, Peppy! He had a fun day with her! She texted me when she was on her way, arrived on time, and followed all of my detailed directions. I am so proud of how well he did too. Before her first day caring for him, she met me and I discussed everything with her. I could tell she cared. She took initiative on wanting to learn everything about him and asked great questions. We even went for a little walk. Watching her interact with Peppy made me feel very safe and confident. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby bear. He is excited to spend time with you again soon 🤎🐾”
About: Hey there 👋 My name is Haley Szramoski. I am originally from Northern Virginia. I graduated from James Madison University in May of 2023, and I excited to meet new pet friends! I have 20+ years of experience with pets, having grown up in a home with both cats and dogs. I first began pet sitting in 2013 and officially joined rover in August of 2023. Since then, I have cared for many pets in the DMV; including, barn cats, reactive dog breeds, high energy dogs, senior pets, large animals (70lbs+), and more. I love every animal I come into contact with and I look forward to meeting your pet soon!! 💛💛 I work in a hybrid environment so once we connect we can work together to find a schedule that works for both your pet and my needs. While I cannot provide in-home pet care at my residence, I promise to provide the safest and most comfortable care to your fur friends via a drop in visit, home sitting, or a walk. I follow all the instructions outlined for your animal per the rover profile and meet and greet conversation. I will ensure that your pet is treated with love and respect! 🐈
About: I have been passionately caring for dogs since high school, gaining hands in experience with pups of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. Having had multiple family dogs has made me comfortable and taught me foundations for compassionate pet care. In college I completed service dog training from puppies to graduation! I am equipped with higher leveled handling skills, deep patience, and the ability to manage complex behavioral needs, reactivity, or high-energy dogs. Whether your dog requires structured behavioral reinforcement, gentle senior care, or just a fun, safe, and reliable companion while you’re away, I am completely comfortable adapting to their unique needs. I treat every dog with the same dedication and professional care as a working dog, while making sure they get all the love and belly rubs of a family pet. I am currently working part-time remotely so my schedule stays pretty flexible. There are certain evenings that I would be unavailable for a different job, but will be blocked out prior. When caring for dogs, you can expect a calm, structured and highly attentive approach tailored specifically to your dogs, age, energy and temperament. Whether your pup thrives on active exercise or needs gentle, low stress, companionship, I prioritize safety, clear boundaries and positive reinforcement during every interaction my background and service dog training means I naturally reinforced leash manners, provide mental enrichment and remain hyper attentive to dog body language to ensure a secure stress-free experience after every visit or stay you will receive a detailed update covering exercise, bathroom, habits, and high-quality photos showing your dog, happy and comfortable For feline clients, my care centers entirely on patient routine and respecting their individual comfort levels. I always let each cat set the pace offering lively playtime with Juan toys for social kitties or quiet, not intrusive companionship for those who are shy or cautious, having managed delicate environmental transitions, and introductions. I focus on minimizing stress, maintaining feeding and lit routine, routines and closely observing subtle shifts in behavior or appetite. You can rely on consistent detail check-in with daily photos, so you have complete peace of mind that your cat unique needs and boundaries are fully honored while you are away.
“First time we have ever used this Service and Alexandria was perfect. Great pictures, notifications and updates were clear and the stress of leaving our dog at home and as gone!”
“My dog, Mocha, absolutely loves Rachel! I never have to worry when I leave her in Rachels care. My pup is always so happy (and exhausted) when I come back. Rachel takes special caution with my pup and her age - always taking things at her limit and being cognizant of the temperature out. Shes great at making my dog feel special and loved when I am not around. Thank you Rachel!”
“Madison did a great job caring for Arthur! Perfect amount of communication, showed up right on time and did everything that was asked. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Would definitely book with her again.”

Nicole was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly loving, mindful, and attentive while caring for our cat. Knowing our cat was in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Nicole was also very flexible and easy to work with, which we truly appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Potomac Heights on Rover is $35.52 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
