“Thank you for taking such great care of Belle and for your calm during the unforeseen interactions with other dogs on her walk. I’m glad everything went well and I am thankful that she was in good hands while I spent time with my family.”
“Jenny is amazing! Every interaction with her is thoughtful and with so much attention to detail. Thank you so much for taking great care of our dog, from giving her all the cuddles to sending us excellent communication updates and photos.”
“Xena is wonderful! She is communicative, punctual, and reliable. She took great care of our German Shepherd and sent frequent updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Sharon Michelle is the best. She is wonderfully communicative, takes great photos, and incredibly reliable. I had to engage her on short notice due to a family emergency, had to extend a couple times unexpectedly, and was thoroughly reassured by her flexibility and devoted care to my cats. Amazing. The peace of mind she imparts is invaluable.”
“Ashley was wonderful with Oliver. She took great care and attention to detail, ensuring all of his needs and favorites were incorporated into her visits. Further, during a fire alarm she safely “trucked” this senior, well-fed and highly vocal kitty outdoors until the all clear was given. Greatly appreciative of her loving and caring for my kitty while away”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
“Julianna was great! She was very communicative and responsive when I had questions about my cat. I got lots of photos and my pet seemed very content - would definitely rebook with Julianna!”
“Lingshan was great! She was super communicative and sent lots of update photos. My cats are usually fearful of new people and will stay hidden with care takers, but my girl Mia warmed up to Lingshan immediately during our meet and greet and followed her around during every visit.”
“Judson is the best catsitter we’ve had. He’s attentive, caring, and consistent. He gets on the floor with the cats and interacts with them and plays with their toys. Our cats are a bit spastic and weird about strangers but they warmed up to Judson quickly which is always a great sign. He sent us multiple pictures every day of the cats along with a note about how they were doing. Choosing a random person on an app is nerve wracking and stressful because you’re putting all your trust in them to not only take care of your animals but also be in your home. Judson is trustworthy and respectful, but he also has a great sense of humor! I would recommend him again and again.”
“We had an awesome experience with Xin! She took great care of Tommy. We got regular updates and pics, which really put us at ease. Tommy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Would 100% book again 😊”
“Marion was so generous while checking on our cats during the holidays. She gave them extra love and attention above and beyond what we expected! We came home to very happy cats that were almost disappointed it was us walking in the door rather than her! Thank you so much, Marion!!”
“Catherine has watched Kitty multiple times for us when we are away. Our cat is a senior cat and Catherine is very attentive to her special needs like hard of hearing and seeing. She's done a wonderful job and highly recommend her!”
About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.
“I needed a cat sitter on short notice and found Alice. I never used Rover before so it was a bit daunting to ask someone I never met to take care of our cat Pinky. However I sensed I could trust Alice 100% from the moment I spoke to her. She is very friendly, helpful and professional. She owns cats herself so she knew exactly what was needed. She provided picture and detailed updates while we were away. Pinky absolutely adored Alice and I didn’t worry about Pinky while I was away. I knew she was in great hands. I highly recommend Alice and would definitely book her again!”
“Emi did an amazing job watching our cats while we were on vacation. She would leave great notes and pictures with each check in and did a great job making sure our cat received his oral medication. I would definitely ask Emi to take care of our cats again!”
“Hazel has been great help for our busy family and taking care of Max our fur baby. Super punctual and flexible and communicative. Max sure enjoys his walks with her. Thank you Hazel 🙏🏻”
“Teresa did a fantastic job checking in on our cats! She was available for a last-minute holiday booking, was super patient with our shy cat, and we felt safe and comfortable having her stop by our home.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Rockville is $22
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rockville
Nuha made my trip so much more enjoyable by providing really great details about what she and my cat got up to. I also loved how many photos she sent. My friends who have checked in on my cat previously sometimes didn't send a single photo the whole time I was away! Using Rover and Nuha specifically was so worth it. Nuha also was very patient with me when my apartment complex door/security system had glitches. I'd 100% recommend her and hope to book with her again in the future!
Rae is truly amazing! I always struggle to leave my babies with someone whom I don’t know but Rae made that so easy. She was so patient with our cats, not only gave them food but also played and spend additional time with the cats. That really demonstrates that Rae adores pets. She is extremely easy to work with and very flexible. When we came back everything was so clean! Huge thanks!!
Hudson has watched our 2 cats twice now and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention he gives them. He makes sure they get their pets and play time while we’re away, and sends great pics and updates. He’s responsive, proactive if there’s a slight achedule change, and just a pleasure to work with. I hope he’s available the next time we’re away!
Gracie was wonderful from start to finish! She was very communicative, quick to respond, flexible, and genuinely so nice. When she came to care for our cat, she was incredibly thorough and attentive. We especially appreciated the detailed end-of-care summary with lots of photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely book her again for future needs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter!
Ashley was wonderful with Oliver. She took great care and attention to detail, ensuring all of his needs and favorites were incorporated into her visits. Further, during a fire alarm she safely “trucked” this senior, well-fed and highly vocal kitty outdoors until the all clear was given. Greatly appreciative of her loving and caring for my kitty while away
Amanda is so reassuring to her clients and make sure our pets are being taken care of. She does a great job at communicating and taking care of your pet! Trust me, if you have a sitter or this is your first time doing anything like this, pick her or change your sitter because she’s the best of the best! Thanks Amanda!
Melody did a wonderful job with our cat Isabel for a week while we were gone! Even though Isabel was a little suspicious at first, Melody was patient with her and won her over. Melody was also super professional, communicative, and responsive throughout our entire booking. We'll definitely keep her in mind for future cat-sitting needs, and we'd highly recommend her to others!
Alice was so wonderful and gave me lots of updates and pictures of my cat and let me know how he was behaving, eating, etc. Her level of communication was exactly what I was hoping for since I had just moved & this was the 1st time I had been gone for a few days since the move. I really appreciated her reassurance that he was fine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rockville on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,129 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 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.
