“Ana was lovely and flexible and took excellent care of our kitty. She was a great communicator, and kept us up to date on everything while we were away. Thank you so much! ❤️”

About: I've taken care of every kind of animal. Dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters. I've also administered medication of many kinds and I am certified in Domestic cat + dog first Aid and CPR. All animals deserve love and care no matter how big or small! I am currently working part-time during the weekdays and on weekends in the late evening. My weekend available will change to be fully available after October. Either way, your pets are my first priority! Not all of my animals get along- I have an intricate schedule of alternating my cats and dog to make sure there are no fights or stressing factors. But there is always playtime for all the animals!
About: I have over 50 years of experience with dogs, cats and small animals. I have done dog daycare and dog walks. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furbabies! I'm currently working full time evenings, but looking to branch into the dog walking business slowly and build from there. I have evening and weekend availability. I have a large yard and easy access to beautiful walking trails. I also have a family that loves dogs as much as I do!
About: I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, rodents and reptiles. I have experience with bottle feeding kittens and training puppies. I am comfortable with administering medications. I am available to run, walk and hike with dogs. I am an independent contractor so extremely flexible with scheduling. I am available early morning, afternoon, evenings and overnight. I am also available on weekends. I am more than happy to schedule a free meet and greet in clients home, prior to first visit or overnight stays. It is extremely important for your pet to be comfortable with me in their home!.
“Tiana did a fantastic job taking care my Nola while I was traveling for work. She was consistent with her communications, sent photos that she took during her drop in visits and formed a solid bond with my cat, through play and cuddle time. I would definitely rebook her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician of 2.5 years and have been working at a veterinary hospital for 3 years. I graduated from a Veterinary Technology Program in 2023 after 2 years and have an Associate’s Degree in Science in Veterinary Technology. I worked at a dog day care for 2.5 years. I volunteered at a cat shelter for 2 years. I had pets all my life so I have 6.5 years of professional experience, 3 years of pet sitting experience, and lots of years of personal experience! I love all pets like my own! I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital, which is about one hour from my home. On Tuesday through Thursday, I’m typically away from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and on Fridays I return home around 6:00 PM. I’m off Sundays and Mondays, and I work one Saturday per month from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Outside of these hours, I’m fully available to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets, including evenings, early mornings, and my days off. I always make sure pets in my care receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love, and I communicate clearly so you feel confident while you’re away. I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s needs. For dogs, I can provide yard time and play sessions, leash walks, or hikes for more active pups. For cats, I offer litter box cleaning, help with any messes, and interactive playtime to keep them happy and comfortable. I ensure all pets receive fresh food and water and maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. If your pet cannot be left alone for extended periods, I may be able to bring them to work with me (when appropriate and approved), ensuring they receive supervision and care throughout the day. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I’m also experienced and comfortable administering medications and providing extra care for pets who may need it.
About: For the past couple of years I have been pet sitting for a colleague and friend of mine and I absolutely love it. I have experience with dealing with dogs with some special needs and I am more than welcome to learn. The youngest I have had was 4 years old and then all the way up to 15 years old. Let me take the load off your shoulders and be able to take care of your fur babies. Though I love dogs, please know that I REALLY love cats too. I am catgirl at heart so please be rest assured that I will take amazing care of them as well. I used to have a feral cat, now with my loving parents 🐈. Currently I have three, so I also do know how it can be when not everyone gets along. Almost everyone in my life owns a cat, so I hope that gives some perspective :). So yes. I’m here for your dog.. but I am also here for the cat folks too 🐾. I have a very flexible schedule due to my job. It allows for myself to create my own schedule so it not only makes my life easier but could very well make yours too. Weekends I have availability and during the week it varies! I care for the pets in my own life allowing them to roam wherever they desire. Besides some closest but they always make their way .
About: Even though I don't have a lot of certified training, I know how to show my love and affection to each and everyone pets just like I have in the past for my own. I am currently working part-time and also going to school. I can take care of your fur baby after 3p.m. in the weekday and before 4 p.m. on Saturday and free on Sunday. I will treat every one's pet with love, care, respect and patience that they need and treat them as one of my own family members.
“Jesey checked in on my cat for a week and I couldn't have been happier with his drop-in visits. I appreciated how thorough his Rover Cards were and had great peace of mind knowing my cat was taken care of in my absence. I would definitely hire Jesey again!”
“Devin was great! She sent thorough updates on my cats and seemed to genuinely love hanging with them. She was very communicative of any scheduling/timing issues, and overall was a pleasure to work with. 10/10 would book again 😸”
About: Hi I’m Shayla! Animals are truly my whole life. I’m 28 years old and since I was 16, I’ve worked at dog daycares, dog/cat boarding facilities, grooming salons, and I worked as an emergency veterinary technician at a few different hospitals. I have tons of experience and knowledge to give your pets the best care. I have experience with working with animals with behavioral issues, animals of all ages and stages of life, dealing with various medical conditions, administering medications, etc. I’m comfortable with any requests to make your pets as comfortable and happy as possible! My schedule has recently become very flexible due to me taking on being a tattoo artist full time, so really the only thing I’ll have to work around is if I have tattoo appointments, which vary weekly. When I care for your pets in your home, i will keep everything clean and organized and respect your space and make your pets as comfortable as possible in their own home!
“Steffen is really great with my English bulldog. She is stubborn but he made the adjustment and was patient with her and now they’re great. They walk around the whole block with ease.”
About: I have spent 10+ years nurturing, fostering and loving pets of all shapes and sizes. Dogs, cats, parrots, guinea pigs, chinchillas, snakes - I've had them all! I am able to care for animals that need medication administered, as well as multiple visits a day due to my flexible schedule. I have recent puppy 'training' experience as I just hit the 6 month mark with my own pup and will gladly keep your pup well trained too! I work from home full time so my schedule is beyond flexible! I have my own vehicle with ample space for pets if transport is needed. I am often available last minute - because I know things pop up! I have a large fenced in yard that my own pup plays in away from any busy street, well as separate rooms and crates available if needed.
“We are so incredibly happy we found Yareisy to care for our kitty Bodhi! Being away from him is always hard, especially since he needs medication twice a day, can get spicy at times and is still grieving months after losing his brother. We really appreciated receiving plenty of photos and detailed updates every day while we were away. We came home to the sweetest personalized card and a little cat-themed gift, which was such a thoughtful surprise!😻 It truly made us smile and shows the type of person she is. We are definitely booking her again for future stays and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, thoughtful cat sitter. Thank you so much Yareisy! Wish we found you sooner. You’re a gem🫶🏼”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rockville
Doreen was great with my cats. I was anxious about leaving my cats for nine days. One of my cats is very timid and I wasn't sure if he would come out from hiding at all while we were gone. Doreen sent me pictures of both my cats out and about by the second day. It really put my mind at ease for the rest of the trip. Doreen sent pictures and information every time she was at my house. After a few days she sent a picture of my cat I was worried about walking with his tail in the air. I could tell he was completely comfortable with her. She also sent pictures right from the beginning of my other cat coming up and greeting her. She followed my feeding instructions exactly. The next time I need someone to watch my cats I will book with Doreen and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their cats.
Angela was fantastic! She sent thorough updates and detailed notes during every drop-in visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats looked happy, relaxed, and comfortable in all the photos she shared, and it was clear they were receiving plenty of attention and excellent care. I really appreciated her reliability, communication, and the effort she put into making sure my pets were well cared for. Being able to see how content my cats were made it so much easier to enjoy my time away. I would absolutely book Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of our cat! She kept us updated with frequent photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our cat was not only well-fed but also given lots of love, attention, and care. We truly appreciate everything Lauren did and are so grateful for the excellent care she provided. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Lauren!
Sarah did a great job taking care of my two kitties; I always feel like they are in good hands when I leave them in her care. One of them threw up after her breakfast and she stayed for some extra time to make sure she was doing okay. She also stops by for an extra quick daily visit to make sure they still get two meals a day. Will absolutely book with her again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rockville is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $23 per visit.

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.
