“Tasha was amazing! She kept us updated and we really appreciated all she did for our kitties. We would definitely recommend and have her take care of them again. Thank you Tasha!!”
About: I have 5 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I’ve loved taking care of pets of all breeds and ages and I am prepared to administer any necessary oral medication. I enjoy being active with dogs and pay close attention to owners’ instructions I’m working part time on an on call basis so my schedule changes often and I need a flexible schedule. Ideally I will take bookings almost every week. I may attention to every detail and like to keep the owner’s home cleaner than I found it. I go over directions many times and will be very cautious on walks.
About: I have several years of hands on pet care experience, & it is something that I truly love to do! My top priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that fits their unique needs and routine. Most importantly, I treat every fur baby like they’re my own, giving them lots of love and attention while keeping you in the loop with clear communication and regular updates so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away. 🐾 I currently have a very open & flexible schedule. Since I’m not working another job, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time & attention to the pets I care for! This allows me to be available for morning, midday, & evening visits, walks, or overnight stays. I care for pets in their own home by keeping them comfortable & happy. I follow instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, & medications if needed. I provide plenty of attention and monitor behaviors while keeping owners updated along the way. I also make sure homes stay clean and secure while you’re away.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My friends and relatives trust me with feeding and caring for their pets as I am passionate about pets especially cats and dogs. They are my best friends and we start to share a bond after spending some time playing with them. I will be home 24/7 to care for the pets. Guaranteed! I don’t won’t outside anywhere so this is my only source of income and passion and hobby First we will meet and spend some alone time with your pet so we can get to know each other better. After getting comfortable, we will meet other pets in a secure environment slowly and steady. After we are tired of playing, we will kennel feed your pet only because we don’t want your pet to eat other dogs food due to any allergies they may have to be on the safe side. Putting water down for them. Putting food bowl down for them at there specified times. Potty breaks are given every 1-2 hours. Nap times and rest times encouraged. Play time encouraged several times a day. Walking service is up to you but we do offer dog walking for little extra charge.
“Josephine went above and beyond for us looking after our two cats while we were away during the holidays. She was always super communicative and provided updates for us on how they were doing each day. I would 100% recommend her for any pet sitting and will definitely be using her to watch after our cats again!”
“Gianna was an amazing sitter for our cat Eli while we took a short trip out of town. Always arrived promptly at the times to feed and take care of Eli and from the looks of the pictures, he got Cody with her very quickly!! We will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I have taken care of my pet geese, chickens, goats, rabbits, parakeets, fishes, cat since i was a young child as well as my 15 year old dogs. I am currently studying. So I have plenty of time to tend to your family. I am a firm believer in treating others how yo would like to be treated. I will treat your pets as I would my own. I am currently studying for an exam. I do not have to report to anyone. My schedule can be quite lenient, and is especially good for emergencies. I am very attentive with pets especially exotic pets, ones with special needs and higher in age. I do not mind sleeping next to them.
“Nicoletta is such a sweet person! They did a great job taking care of our cats, and was very open to our specific care requests! The cats took to her immediately, and her kind disposition helped her connect with our shyest cat.”
“Francesca was so great with my two kitties. One of them hides and the other is in the early stages of terminal kidney disease. She was patient and kind, playing with them if they showed interested. She made sure their litter boxes were cleaned twice a day and sent pictures and videos on each visit. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Elizabeth always does a wonderful job caring for my cats while I’m away. She goes above and beyond when trying to give pets/playtime to them when they decide to be more shy. I always feel comfortable and safe with trusting her with their care!”
“I came home to 4 well-fed and content cats. Gina kept everything clean and she was consistent in her visits. I appreciated the photo updates and her responsiveness to any messages I sent. I will definitely ask for Gina's help again when I need a cat-sitter!!”
“All I can say is that Leonna is a true ROCK STAR! We have two 4-year-old kitties we adopted during COVID, and since then we basically stopped traveling because we didn’t know who we could trust with our kitty girls. In 2023 we tried a cat hotel. While it was a nice place, it just wasn’t a good fit for our girls—so we hadn’t traveled since. After reading Leonna’s bio, she seemed like the perfect match. After meeting her in person, we knew she was the sitter for us. Last week, Leonna cared for our kitties while we were away. If you know cats, you know they don’t like change and ours are no different. The one I thought would adjust the easiest hissed at her the first day and went into hiding. But Leonna was patient, gentle, and did everything possible to make them feel comfortable and safe. On top of providing excellent care, she kept in daily communication with us, sending photos and videos. That was such a comfort—especially for my husband, who was initially a nervous wreck about leaving them. By the end of the trip, he couldn’t say enough about how wonderful Leonna was and how much she clearly cared for our girls. We already have another trip planned in a few weeks, and Leonna will be taking care of them again. She is truly an answer to our prayers for a compassionate, trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Rachel Ann was a lifesaver for us when we needed last-minute care for our cat, Freya. Our cat needed two new prescriptions administered twice daily and her food preferences had also just changed. Rachel Ann was an absolute professional in caring for Freya and even adjusted the visit times to accommodate how our cat was responding. She was very loving and sent daily updates and photos. We will definitely request Rachel Ann again and we recommend her to anyone who needs routine or advanced care for their cat.”
About: Local to Bay Area/Crockett for 2026 holiday sitting — I am very interested in providing my services ASAP, please reach out if you’re interested in booking! Happy to answer any and all questions. Thanks. Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pets who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise, or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and many cats, and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther and 12 years with my gray shorthair cat Wilbur. My darling 14-year-old kitty now gets all the extra love! I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pet, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️ *Currently accepting requests within a ~25 mile radius of Crockett, CA - just ask!*
“I went on a work trip to DC for a week and Brandon made having to leave Drax at home so much easier and took a lot of stress out of it. He provided daily updates and did even more than I even expected him to do. I am sure Drax is going to miss the week he spent with Brandon checking on him and keeping him company”
“Tessa is truly a hidden gem! Not only did she take wonderful care of our cats and shower them with attention, but she also looked after our home and plants beautifully. She responded quickly to our messages, and when we returned, the house was spotless, as if she had never been there. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,800 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rockville. 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 .

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.
