“Melissa did a great job watching our cat Mabel. She sent detailed updates with photos and videos. She can be shy and hide under the bed, Melissa was able to get her out to play and be pet. She seemed happy and well cared for!”
“This is our second time using Austin. He is always promt and on time for his visits. We never have to second guess if he will be there. Very respectful and responsible. He also sends out his daily report immediately after every visit. Keeps us informed and updated. We have found our sitter.”
About: I have always been surrounded by pets; enjoy giving plenty of attention; and have cared for their well-being (bathing, administering medications, monitoring recuperations after illness/surgery). I work full-time during the school year (August 20 - June 15; leave home at 7:30 a.m. and I am home by 4:30 p.m.) and have my evenings and weekends free. During the summer I am home and available during the daytime as well. I am available for check-ins, walks, and stays. Your companion would be cared for by keeping to his/her routine/schedule, keeping them safe, following any additional instructions, and giving them lots of attention and playtime.
“Renata was an unbelievable petsitter for our dog and cat! She got to know them so quickly, took outstanding care of them (I could see how happy they were with her in the pics and video she sent) and went above and beyond in every way possible, putting us at complete ease while we were away. I cannot recommend Renata highly enough, we feel so incredibly fortunate to have found her! We hope we never have to have anyone else care for our pets after such a great experience with Renata, she is simply THE BEST!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, RENATA!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, bunnies, fish, and guinea pigs since around age 11. Neighbors and family trust me to walk, feed, cuddle and play with any fur babies. I am currently a full time college student on summer break until late August. I am currently working part-time at a job with flexible hours, so I am able to work around certain request times. I am comfortable cuddling and playing with your animals inside or outside the home! I will crate animals if requested. I am highly communicative and will send updates/pictures from the visit/sitting. The more the merrier!
“Thank you so much for being patient w our Lily, Heather! We will definitely book again. You went above and beyond with communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit!”
“What a pleasure it was meeting Katie and working with her. On a last minute booking she was easy to work with and took care of our furbaby as if Nugget was her own. I Highly suggest you book her! You won't regret it!”
“Sarah was amazing while looking after our senior cat! Always on time and gave us excellent feedback after each visit. It was so great to have peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using her again in the future and absolutely recommend her!”
“Sammy watched my dog Brody for a week. She showed up each day on-time and provided pictures and texts. I really felt like she did a good job with him as he can be difficult to warm up to people when we aren’t there. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
“Lesa was great with my fur baby! We had a meet & greet and my dog took to her right away. This was our 1st time leaving our dog alone overnight & we were nervous. Lesa was great communicating with us & keeping us up to date with how she was doing & sending us pics. We will definitely have her look after our fur baby again!”
“Andrea is great! She communicated throughout the entire process. She kept me informed on how everything was going. She sent pictures showing her interaction with Snuggles. Although, she wasn’t booked to care for the cat, she notified me of his mischievous behavior. I will definitely book with Andrea again. Thank you Andrea!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years through both pet ownership and pet sitting. I currently have a Springer Spaniel and a Labrador Retriever, so I’m comfortable with active, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine. I’ve also cared for family members’ cats and have experience providing overnight care for dogs while owners are away. As a teacher, I’m dependable, organized, and attentive to details, and I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m a teacher and currently work summer school from 9:00 AM–1:00 PM on weekdays, which gives me plenty of availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends if messaged. During the school year, I maintain a consistent schedule and am available before and after work for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine, and I enjoy making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and currently have a Springer Spaniel and a Labrador Retriever of my own. I always follow the routines and instructions provided by owners, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and crate training if needed. Whether caring for pets in your home or mine, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, supervision, and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Jo was terrific! Very communicative and responsible. She sent us photos every day of our cat Olivia who seem to have a terrific time visiting with her. I would highly recommend Jo to anyone looking for someone who wants to be sure that their pet will be well taken care of.”

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.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rockville on Rover is $16.65 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.
